Far to the north, the mountains are lit up and this should be one of them: although the mountains near Klingenthal are not steep, there are some of the best alpine pistes in Europe and some world-class high-top ski competitions.

There have been and will be.

And despite its small size, in addition to skiing, it also hosts a historic world-class event every summer: the International Accordion Competition, which has been held dozens of times today!

In addition to a number of shops selling winter skiing equipment, it is also famous for some of its musical instrument shops, where you can also buy world-class quality accordions.

Nowadays, many Chinese people still think that the accordion is a Western import, but in fact, Chinese musical instruments are its ancestors: in 1777, the ancient Chinese instrumental "sheng" was introduced to Europe by the Italian missionary Amauite, and soon after that, some of the predecessor instruments of the accordion appeared in Europe, all referring to the pronunciation and playing principles of the sheng, but those instruments were short-lived and did not circulate.

Later, in 1821, the German Derek Bussmann made the Ora with mouth blowing, and in 1822 added a hand-controlled bellows and buttons to the instrument. Later, the Austrian Cyrillus de Mien succeeded in creating the world's first accordion, which was named Accordion, based on Bussmann's predecessors, and combining the various predecessors of the accordion at the time.

To this day, accordion is still used all over the world to refer to accordions.

Nowadays you can hear the accordion in some of the restaurants and taverns in Klingenthal, and Zhang Nan really wanted to experience it when he came here.

The idea is easy to implement, just find a tavern in the neighborhood at night, but not now, you have to stay first.

Entering the hotel, it is cold outside the station: after dark, it is minus four or five degrees outside, around zero during the day, and it will drop to minus seven or eight degrees in the second half of the night, which is still the reason why the weather forecast says that there will be heavy snow later.

When it snows, it's not cold, because the warm and humid air currents meet.

When the weather clears, the minimum temperature can reach more than minus ten degrees, which is quite cold, and it will be even colder than the ski resort that is one or two hundred meters higher than the urban area, two or three hundred meters.

It is estimated that after the heavy snow tonight and tomorrow morning, you will be able to paddle your skis directly in front of the hotel.

Oh, don't make a mistake in the direction, otherwise you will slide to Czechoslovakia if you are not careful, and this time Zhang Nan and these people did not apply for a visa to that country.

Before getting out of the car, Paul walked over and pointed to the road outside the gate of the hotel yard: "Boss, we have been to Czechoslovakia just now, and that road is East Germany... Belch... Germany and Czechoslovakia shared, one and a half.

Just now we drove on the right hand on the territory of Czechoslovakia, and when we got to the city we drove on the left, on this side of which was the territory of Germany. ”

In East Germany, the habitual name is still there, and it can't be changed all at once.

Zhang Nan's brain is a little dizzy here!

I don't have a visa to go there, does this count as "forced crossing"?

There are no defenses on both sides, and the residents of this neighborhood commute to and from work and then come back, which is strange enough.

However, since there is no defense, it is the actual geographical situation, and looking at the Czechoslovak settlements not far away, I feel that it should not be a big problem to cross the border a few times a day.

Both sides previously belonged to the Warsaw Pact camp, and this border line should not be much of a problem, but it is ......

Zhang Nan, who walked into the hotel, said to Xiang Weirong beside him: "The Germans here are definitely unhappy with the Czechoslovakians on the other side, and now one of the two sides is merging, and the other side is engaged in splitting up, except for the highway, let's not go over." ”

"Why?"

Xiang Weirong also heard Paul's words, and it seemed that there was no problem.

"Opposite is the Sudetenland. ”

Xiang Weirong knew what the Sudetenland meantland, but he didn't know much about foreign history: when he went to school during the special period, he could know that the Sudetenland was already good, and there was the infamous "Munich Agreement".

But he did not know, or rather only the "first half of the story" of the Sudetenland.

The room is on the second floor, which is in line with Xiang Weirong's habit of "never living on the third floor if you can live on the second floor", which was caused by the earthquake.

Zhang Nan's room is next door to his brother-in-law, there is no elevator, and a few people walk up.

can guess the question in his brother-in-law's heart, Zhang Nan said as he walked: "Austria-Hungary was defeated in World War I, and the empire was divided into three after the war, which is now Austria, Hungary and Czechoslovakia.

The Sudetenland was returned to Czechoslovakia, and the 3.5 million German-speaking inhabitants of the region fell from the majority ethnic group of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the minority of Czechoslovakia.

What happened later was the textbook one, Hitler swallowed the Sudetenland on the other side, and was welcomed by the Germans there at that time.

After the defeat of Germany in World War II, the Sudetenland was regained into Czechoslovakia. ”

Speaking of which, the two had already walked to the door of Xiang Weirong's room, and the latter asked suspiciously before entering the door: "To put it bluntly, there are also Germans on the other side, no wonder this side of the border is so interesting..."

Before he finished speaking, he found that there was something wrong with what he said: Why did Zhang Nan think that the relationship between the two sides was not good?

Zhang Nan was about to continue walking, but when he heard his brother-in-law's words, he stopped and said with a smile: "Because there are many things that can't be said in textbooks."

After the defeat of Nazi Germany, millions of German-speaking residents of the Sudetenland were driven out of Germany, and I thought that many of the Germans here would have lived across the road in the first place. ”

Ancestors have lived across the street for generations and have been driven away from their hometowns......

Needless to say, Xiang Weirong can understand the story and the reasons here.

History, politics...

It's too complicated!

It's not interesting to say it too clearly.

……

I put my luggage in the room, thinking that I would have to take a housekeeper and a few servants to travel in the future, at least I would avoid these troubles.

It stands to reason that he should have done this a few years ago according to his own worth, and the situation in the first two years of the manor on Long Island is simply strange: there are several servants, but in terms of management, "the servants can do whatever they should do", and the position of housekeeper has been vacant for a long time, and there is no regularity.

It's the same for myself, the Chinese people, the idea of equality is deeply rooted in the bones, and the previous things of housekeepers and servants are feudal dross, things that only exist in movies and television!

Anyway, Zhang Nan didn't want to enjoy it like that in the past.

Now the thinking is slowly changing, but there are many secrets of oneself, and reliable people are really hard to find, can you take a servant to find Hitler's treasure?

Is it reliable?

Fortunately, Rosa's husband will have a "graduation internship" next month, and he should be reliable to take with him. As for the young servants, they will be slowly searched for in the future.

The gang of people around me are used to doing it themselves, and if there are always some people in tuxedos hanging around, they probably won't be used to it.

When I think about the restaurant, the forks are placed at the same distance from each other, and the newspaper I read in the morning is iron-burned......

Rotten!
