The gorgeous male bird www.biquge.info the pen fun pavilion has bright and beautiful feathers, and it courtes the female in the most beautiful and true state in the form of an open screen with a fan-shaped crown feather and a gorgeous tail screen. The female, on the other hand, will incorporate the love of the male bird into her heart with infatuation and infatuation, thus forming a mythical love. Elaine was fascinated by this beautiful myth, so she came to China to witness this mysterious and beautiful story.

Abel Elaine is a Swiss national, currently holds a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Oregon in the United States, is 25 years old, her father is a Swiss banker, and her mother is a gentle and beautiful woman, and they love her very much. However, Elaine was desperate about her personal problems. She fell out of love, and her long-time boyfriend left her not long ago, and she fell in love with a close friend of hers and got married. Elaine suddenly felt that the edifice of love had collapsed, and the sun in her heart had fallen. It was pitch black before her eyes, and there was no hope for her life. She was so sad and sad that she decided to kill herself to denounce and protest against her unsympathetic and uncaring boyfriend and her close friend who secretly took her boyfriend. However, before committing suicide, she decided to go to China because she had learned some Chinese and had a mysterious yearning for Oriental culture. After going to China, she died without regrets.

Elaine arrived in China in early July 2010, spending two days in Beijing, visiting the Great Wall, Badaling and the Ming Tombs, as well as the Forbidden City and the Forbidden City. Then, take the train all the way south. In fact, Elaine did not come to China for a very clear purpose, anyway, it was to take a walk and see, mainly for relaxation and sightseeing. Because China is too big, there are so many places to see, and besides, it is the first time she has come to China, and she doesn't know much about China. By the time she came to Shenzhen, it was the middle of July.

One day, she came to the Splendid China Scenic Area in Shenzhen, and saw the crowds in the scenic spot, the sound of music, and people watching something in three layers and three layers outside. So, she squeezed into the crowd to see what was going on. Inside, she saw more than twenty Wa girls in black vests and gaudy tube skirts in the crowd, dancing a peculiar dance. They tossed their long black hair back and forth, from side to side, and even turned and knelt around. The scene of the long hair dancing wildly is like a flame rising, a waterfall splashing, and like a tide surging, a huge wave churning, just and soft, chic and fit, full of enthusiasm and boldness, simple and hearty passion and primitive beauty.

Then, the sound of a thick wooden drum sounded, and the actors appeared on the stage. The dance begins with one or two people beating the drums, and the timbre and rhythm of the drums change according to the content of the dance. When the dance reached its climax, another three or four fierce men holding painted drumsticks entered the venue, beating drums while spinning and jumping around the drums, pushing the jubilant atmosphere of "beating wooden drums" to the extreme. At this time, the wooden drums and drums shook the sky, the dancers' hair was flying, and the young dancers were rough and unrestrained, blazing and wild. When the actresses danced to the passion, the male actors stepped neatly on the plank, and their neat footsteps were applauded by the audience from time to time. One of them, the king of dance, who is both a drummer and a dancer, beats the wooden drum and dances at the same time. His drums are staggered, the rhythm is clear, his dancing is graceful and standardized, and his movements are rough and unrestrained. He used drums to guide the dance, making the drums the music and soul of the dance.

Seeing their wonderful dances, especially the wild hair throwing movements, Elaine felt that this kind of quaint, bold and wild dance was just enough to vent the frustration in her heart. So, in the sound of the lyrical music, she also imitated them and danced with many audience members, shaking her long hair desperately. However, because she was suffering from anemia and did not eat in the morning, she followed the actresses to learn to shake her hair, and she felt a whirlwind of the world, and her eyes turned black, and she fell to the ground all of a sudden.

When people saw someone suddenly fall to the ground, they couldn't help but let out a burst of screams. When they saw that it was a blonde foreign girl who had fallen to the ground, they hurried to help her up. At this time, Xu Sang, the Wa boy who was beating the drum and leading the dance, hurriedly came over to stop everyone and said, "Don't move, let her lie down for a while." So saying, he grabbed Elaine's man with his fingers. Soon, Elaine woke up, and Xu Sang asked her, "Are you okay?" I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup, right?"

But Elaine shook her head and said in broken Chinese, "Leave me alone, I'm terminally ill." ”

Xu Sang hurriedly helped her out of the square, called a car, and sent her to the hotel. After letting Elaine lie down, he went to a nearby western restaurant and bought her chicken wings burger and Coke.

Elaine was very touched and felt that this Chinese guy was really good, so she said gratefully: "Thank you, my name is Elaine." You go, I want to sleep for a while. ”

Xu Sang saw that Elaine had returned to normal, so he left the hotel.

After getting off work in the afternoon, Xu Sang and his partners who performed together came to participate in the beer festival held in the Fairview Garden. There is a competition in the Oktoberfest, which is to compare the amount of alcohol. The person with the largest amount of alcohol will be the king of wine in this competition, and thus win the grand prize of the organizing committee.

Drinking alcohol is equivalent to drinking water to the Wa people. Because they don't drink much tea, they usually drink their own mellow water and wine. Although this water wine is not as good as liquor, it has a higher degree than beer. The Wa people drink alcohol when they receive guests, they drink when they entertain guests, and their families drink almost every day when they are together. So, drinking is too common and common for them.

Xu Sang has a total of 20 players in this group, all of whom were selected after the preliminary round. Since 10 bottles of beer had already been drunk in the preliminary round, the semi-final was 5 bottles. Drinking 15 bottles of beer is very bad for the average normal person. However, Xu Sang quickly drank the five bottles of beer. Others just drank two or three bottles and they didn't do it. As a result, Xu Sang won the championship of this group and had to compete with the champion of the other group in the final.

I thought that the players in the other group must also be a young and vigorous strong man, but when he got to the finals, Xu Sang found out that the opponent was actually the foreign girl named Elaine who he rescued in the morning. Elaine also recognized him, smiled at him with a wine glass, and then craned her neck and poured the wine into her mouth.

Xu Sang couldn't help but be shocked in his heart: This girl didn't want to die? She was terminally ill and still came to participate in this kind of competition, and she had to drink beer desperately! He really didn't understand what this girl thought, so he raised his wine glass and put it down, saying that he would admit defeat. Because he didn't want to compare with her, and if he did, she would definitely not be an opponent. However, this will make her drink a lot of beer, which will aggravate her condition. He would rather this champion be inappropriate than let her drink so much beer.

In fact, Elaine was already the champion, but Elaine, who was already a little drunk, didn't notice that Xu Sang had surrendered. So, she kept drinking herself. Xu Sang hurriedly grabbed her and said, "You can't give up on yourself like this, now that medicine is so advanced, your disease will definitely be cured!"?

"I know my illness, no one can cure it!" Elaine stubbornly turned her head and lowered her glass. She knew that Xu Sang was letting her. However, she didn't thank Xu Sang, because she didn't want others to let her. She wants to win this crown based on her strength. In fact, she wanted to use wine to vent the resentment in her heart.

But Xu Sang didn't know the sadness and despair in Elaine's heart. He seemed generous, shook her hand, congratulated her, and then left her his cell phone number and told her, "You can call me anytime you have something." ”?
