Although the interior decorations of the special train are top-notch, the railways of the 80s are indeed inferior to later generations, and it is really annoying to stay on the train for a long time.

Fortunately, the special train did not need to stop during the whole process, so it took 18 hours, and at 12 o'clock at noon the next day, the train arrived at the Guodu Railway Station.

As soon as Xia Yu got off the train, he was warmly welcomed by Director Liu Zhihe and others who had been waiting for a long time on the platform.

"Mr. Xia, welcome to the national capital again, the train has been bumpy all the way, making you suffer, please forgive me!"

Xia Yu shook hands with Liu Zhihe, and said with a light smile: "What kind of suffering, they are all children of a bitter family, and the train is much more comfortable than the boat I took when I was a child." ”

"It's me who wants to forgive, I'm really sorry to let you pick me up on the other trip. ”

Liu Zhihe hurriedly said: "Mr. Xia, you are our honored guest, we should give you the highest reception, now the conditions here are simple, you don't have to blame." ”

"No, no, no......"

After a few simple greetings, the feeling of strangeness that I hadn't seen for two years gradually melted.

Liu Zhihe asked Xia Yu to get in the car, and the convoy went to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, where Xia Yu stayed two years ago.

After Xia Yu enjoyed a delicious lunch, Xia Yu took a walk in the garden of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, and Liu Zhihe accompanied Xia Yu throughout the whole process.

"Mr. Xia, the meeting time is set for half past nine tomorrow morning, do you have any plans for this afternoon? If so, please tell me, I will make every effort to arrange it. ”

After walking around for a while, when he walked to the pavilion, Liu Zhihe said to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu is the VIP of the mainland's VIPs, and during Xia Yu's time in the national capital, Liu Zhihe has only two tasks, one is to do a good job as a liaison, and the second is to accompany Xia Yu, so that he can stay comfortably in the national capital.

As mentioned above, as long as Xia Yu's requirements are not against principle, he will do his best to meet them, and he has obtained special approval, and he can ask other departments to fully cooperate at any time.

Xia Yu thought for a while and said, "Director Liu, can you take me out of the imperial capital to walk around." ”

Liu Zhihe said without hesitation: "Of course there is no problem!"

"Do you want to go now?"

"Hmm!" Xia Yu nodded in response.

After that, Liu Zhihe immediately arranged a vehicle to carry Xia Yu and began to walk around the imperial capital.

The imperial capital of 81 years is very different from the later generations, there is no steel jungle of later generations, there are basically several floors of houses on both sides of the road, there are basically no cars on the empty road, and there are very few motorcycles, and the streets are basically 28 bars.

Unlike Pengcheng in the south of the mainland, there are already many cars on the road.

For the current situation of the imperial capital, Xia Yu can understand that although it has been three years since the announcement of reform and opening up, the imperial capital is a special existence, this is the center of political power in the country, there are too many people who hold different positions on the issue of economic development, and the concept of the older generation has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow and cannot be easily changed.

"Hey, is this time almost to Tiananmen Square?"

Looking at some familiar roads, Xia Yu looked at it from a distance and said with some surprise.

Liu Zhihe, who was sitting next to him, immediately said: "Yes, it's already time to Tiananmen Square, Mr. Xia, do you want to park there?"

Xia Yu just wanted to say yes, but suddenly saw a somewhat special building, and he immediately asked Liu Zhihe: "Director Liu, what is the place there?"

"Oh, there's the Museum of the History of the Chinese Revolution, which was formed in 1969 by the merger of the Museum of the Chinese Revolution and the Museum of Chinese History. ”

Liu Zhihe followed Xia Yu's gaze and immediately replied.

Xia Yu suddenly became interested and said to Liu Zhihe: "Director Liu, let's go there and have a look." ”

"Okay!"

"Parking in front of the museum!"

Liu Zhihe answered, and immediately commanded the soldier who was driving.

Soon, the Hongqi car stopped in front of the Museum of the History of the Chinese Revolution.

After Xia Yu got out of the car, he entered the museum under the leadership of Liu Zhihe, and at the same time, Liu Zhihe also recruited Yan Sihai, the owner of the museum, an old man in his fifties with eyes, who introduced the museum to Xia Yu.

Under the introduction of Yan Sihai, Xia Yu learned some about the Chinese Revolutionary History Museum, the national museum in front of Tiananmen Square first originated in 1912 began to build the National History Museum, and later in 1929 changed its name to the Huaxia Research Institute Beiping History Museum, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was renamed the Imperial Capital History Museum, in 1958, the state decided to establish the Chinese History Museum on this basis, and then in September 1969 it merged with the Chinese Revolution Museum, which is what it is now.

As a national museum in front of Tiananmen Square, it represents the face of Chinese culture to a large extent, after all, foreigners come to the imperial capital, and Tiananmen Square is almost a must-visit place.

Therefore, the collection in the Chinese Revolution History Museum is very rich, in addition to the historical relics related to the revolution, there are also very rich historical relics, in Xia Yu's view, there are not a few national treasures, and they can definitely surpass his Kowloon Cultural Museum now.

As he walked, he stopped in front of a door, and he was a little surprised when he looked at the words hanging on the door.

I saw that there were five words written on it - Foreign Guest Service Department.

Seeing Xia Yu stop, Yan Sihai took the initiative to introduce: "Mr. Xia, Director Liu, this foreign guest service department is mainly to receive foreign guests and sell some painters' paintings. ”

Xia Yu was a little surprised: "The museum still sells paintings, are they ancient paintings or modern paintings?"

Faced with Xia Yu's unintentional question, Yan Sihai was a little embarrassed, but Liu Zhihe was here, and he also realized that this was an opportunity to ask for funds to improve the current situation of the museum, so he immediately said: "Mr. Xia, we are a museum, and ancient paintings will definitely not be sold, but the main ones sold here are modern paintings, providing a place for artists from the Academy of Fine Arts and the Art Association to sell calligraphy and paintings." ”

"Artists also have to live, and the foreign guests who come to visit don't know about our country, and many foreign guests will ask to buy some culture to take home, so we work with artists so that the artists can make a living, and the museum can also earn some funds to receive foreign guests. ”

Yan Sihai said this, Liu Zhihe's expression was a little embarrassed, he subconsciously glanced at Xia Yu, and found that Xia Yu didn't care, but showed an interested look.

At this time, Xia Yu was really interested, and there were many masters of artists at this time.

Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong and these masters are no longer there, but Zhang Daqian, Li Kuchan, and Li Keran should still be alive, I don't know if there are any of their calligraphy and paintings in them!

If so, I don't know how much it will sell for now?

Thinking that the paintings of these masters in later generations are as high as tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, he is a little nervous in his heart, will there be a treasure in it?

Thinking of this, Xia Yu immediately said to Yan Sihai: "Curator Yan, can I go in and have a look?"
