Chapter 89 Flag-Raising Ceremony
Although the two slept late, they woke up early.
Or, to be precise, Su Zheng woke up very early, and then, woke Chen Fu up.
Chen Fu looked at his phone, it was just five o'clock in the morning.
Chen Fu said, your energy is too vigorous, you tossed so late last night, and woke up so early.
Su Zheng said, aren't people excited.
Chen Fu smiled, what are you excited about?
Su Zheng said, I want to go to see the flag-raising ceremony.
Chen Fu was surprised, how could he want to go to see the flag-raising?
Heck, there is a flag-raising ceremony in the illustration in the elementary school textbook, and I have seen it on TV, and after a long time, there is a knot in my heart. Now that it is close to the Tian/An/Gate, this knot is getting heavier and heavier, and I want to go and see it, open this knot.
Chen Fu said, then go and have a look. I haven't seen it yet.
In the last life, Chen Fu had seen it a few times. In the majestic national anthem, watching the five-star red flag rising, the excitement is beyond words.
You say, Su Zheng is a little hesitant, my good friend is on me, is it insulting to go there?
It's a bit of a mess. Chen Fu said, as long as the heart is pure, nothing else matters. What's more, in such a situation, it is commendable to think about watching the flag-raising. If you change to someone else, it is estimated that you will have to go to the main square without going out of the door.
When you say that, I'm relieved. Hurry up, let's not wash it. Just go. Su Zheng was extremely neat, and his clothes were quickly put on his body, seeing that Chen Fu was a little slow, and urged, can you hurry up!
The two did not wash and hurried to the door of the Beijing Hotel.
In this era, Jianguomen Street at more than five o'clock, although the lights are bright, but the vehicles coming and going are extremely rare, even at the entrance of a five-star hotel such as the Beijing Hotel, it is impossible to take a taxi.
Su Zheng asked, how far is it from here?
Chen Fu replied, it's not far away, it's about a little more than a kilometer.
Su Zheng said, it's only two miles.
Chen Fu said, yes, you said that it is close at hand, and it still makes sense.
Then let's walk! Su Zheng suggested, it won't take more than half an hour. I don't have a concept of distance and time scale.
Not needed. If we only walk, it will take about twenty minutes. If you trot and walk, it's just over ten minutes. Chen Fu said, we are really not a family and do not enter the door, in fact, I have no concept of this.
Don't you know?
Chen Fu said that after studying the map, he remembered this approximate number. Also, depending on the current point in time, it's okay for us to walk there. The flag-raising time should be 6:27.
Is it so precise?,Su Zheng asked.
Yes, our national flag is more particular about the time, and it is required to be accurate to the minute and second. And, it changes every day of the month. Chen Fu said.
Then I'll have to run over it. Su Zheng said, arrive early and find a good location.
Let's go, let's not talk about it. Su Zheng said.
Are you sure that running is okay during your period?
It should be fine. When I was in school, I also took it with me. Su Zheng said.
Well, if you don't feel well, let's stop. Chen Fu said.
Su Zheng nodded.
The two of them ran in the direction of the sky/an/door/.
Su Zheng can always stick to the end with his best efforts.
I ran the whole way, and I didn't shout tired. However, when I arrived at the square, I was so excited to see the majestic castle tower and the grand square that I finally said, I have to stop, this place is so spectacular!
An exclamation reminded Chen Fu of the surprise when Faust saw the beauty of the world.
There is still about half an hour left before the flag-raising ceremony begins.
The square was already full of people. There were already several figures around the flagpole.
Su Zheng said, let's see if my decision is correct. Hey, I sighed again, but even so, I still came a little late, and I couldn't stand in the nearest place.
Chen Fu smiled and said that this location is already very good.
They were on the west side of the flagpole, about four or five people in front.
I won't be able to see for a while, so you can pick me up. Su Zheng said.
Chen Fu said, don't worry, you can see it. This is the best place for us. If you're tired, you can count on me.
Not tired. Besides, in this solemn and solemn place, I should stand in a standing posture and not destroy my image. Su Zheng said.
You're so serious. It seems that I can't even hold your hand. Chen Fu said.
Let this place show no love. Su Zheng said.
As soon as Chen Fu wanted to speak, Su Zheng put his finger on his pursed lips, made a "shhhhhh
It turned out that everyone was quietly waiting for that sacred moment to come.
Su Zheng turned his head to look at Chen Fu for a while, smiled, and then looked straight ahead. Twist it again in a moment and take a look.
Every time Chen Fu wanted to speak, she was stopped by her gestures.
The air was nice, cool and fresh on this day.
After breathing for a long time, watching the east gradually turn white, Su Zheng let out a small breath.
Chen Fu knew that her tension just now should have been relieved.
At this time, the crowd did not know how much heavier it was around.
They started out on the periphery, and now they're the center.
When there was a bit of commotion in the crowd, Chen Fu knew that the honor guard had entered the square with neat steps.
The rhythm of that step rippled in the hearts of many people.
Su Zheng patted his chest and stood on tiptoe to look north-east.
Footsteps are getting closer.
The figure went from blurry to clear.
Flag bearers step on the flag-raising stand.
The March of the Volunteers sounded.
Su Zheng and Chen Fu and all the people rose with the red flag, from looking at each other to looking up.
2 minutes and 7 seconds!
The duration of the flag raising never change.
Chen Fu once again meditated on this time.
Chen Fu glanced at Su Zheng beside him.
The girl still had tears on her face.
The flag is hoisted.
Everyone else dispersed. Su Zheng was still standing upright, looking up.
Chen Fu put his arm around her shoulder and said, excited?
No, it's moving. Su Zheng said, in the future, I have to come and see. If I have a chance, I have to bring my parents to see it.
Our parents will feel it more deeply than we do. Chen Fu said.
Su Zheng nodded and said, I have watched it many times on TV, so it is better to go to the scene to watch it once.
Chen Fu said that we are all sons and daughters who grew up under the red flag, and we have a deep affection for the red flag since childhood. But it is only at close proximity that our flags, scattered across all ages, suddenly coalesce at a flashpoint.
Su Zheng said that if only everyone could come here to experience it, it would be better than many missions.
Chen Fu said that this estimate will take a long time to be realized. After all, you can't just come to the capital casually, and you have to consider transportation and economic factors. However, one thing is certain, the number of people watching the flag-raising ceremony will increase more and more every year. I BELIEVE!
Su Zheng said that he hopes that when our IELTS school is launched, we can also organize some activities here.
Chen Fu said, this responsibility is on your shoulders.
Su Zheng said, it seems that I also have a long way to go. It's a long way to go!
Chen Fu said, of course. When you come to the capital, you have to learn to carry the burden.
Su Zheng said, I will definitely do a good job.
Chen Fu said, I believe you will. You've shown me another side of you today.
Su Zheng said, yes? I think everything is the same as before, it's all its true colors.
Chen Fu said that he didn't know the true face of Lushan, only because he was in this mountain.
Su Zheng smiled and said, ticking off my mystery.
Chen Fu said that it seems that the Yuan Shen is about to return to its place.
Su Zheng said, don't discuss these anymore. Let's go back, we'll have to go through those formalities later.
Chen Fu said, go, or run?
Run, of course!
Ready, go!
