Chapter Seventy-Seven: Gossip in the Mountains

Walking on the tree-lined mountain road of Baiyun Mountain, the sun shines through the layers of tree branches, casting dappled points of light.

Oss let go of the camera hanging around his neck, spread his arms and took a deep breath, "It's so comfortable, it's a good place to be!"

"Of course," Chen Dahe leaned on the railing on the edge of the cliff, looked at the forest sea in the distance, and said softly, "As early as the Neolithic Age, there were human activities here, in the ancient history of our country, there are countless documents, and the works of celebrities have been recorded here, and the city at the foot of the mountain is also closely related to this mountain, so this is not just a scenic spot, but a spiritual symbol containing rich history and culture, symbolizing the city and the people here." ”

"Really?" Oss looked around in surprise, "it turns out that this is a holy mountain, no wonder you would say that you can find the soul of this city here, although it is not very high, and there is no strange scenery, but it is indeed beautiful and goes well with the city." ”

Eh, Chen Dahe was stunned, it seemed that it was not wrong to use the holy mountain to understand this place, but he always felt that something was wrong, after all, although the people here liked this mountain, they were far from worshipping.

However, he couldn't say this to Os, who was a disciple, and he didn't need to, so Chen Dahe directly changed the topic, "Os, do you know, all the trees and buildings in this mountain,"

Chen Dahe pointed around and said, "All of them were replanted and built 30 years ago. ”

"What?" Oss glared in surprise, "this is impossible, there is no clear dividing line between the trees here, it is clear that their growth cycle is the same period, and if it is a plantation, it will require a very large amount of manpower to do it." ”

"You're right," Chen Dahe gave a thumbs up, "It is to mobilize a lot of manpower, open up a highway connecting the north and south, build parks and hostels, and plant trees that reproduce the lush and vibrant landscape trees of Baiyun Mountain, and,"

Chen Dahe stretched out his hands and spread ten fingers, "Ten reservoirs were built at the same time, and these were completed in a very short time. ”

"It's incredible," Oss looked at the green waves in the distance in a daze, unable to react for a while.

"Forty years ago, during the war, Gwangju was occupied by invaders," Chen continued, "and as a result of fierce resistance, large areas of the city were destroyed, and the mountain was destroyed, leaving only a torii arch and some of the ruins of the temple, which was not rebuilt along with the city until after the founding of the People's Republic of China." ”

Oss pondered for a moment, then raised his head to look at Chen Dahe, "Chen, I think I understand what you mean, indeed, you are diligent, hardworking, and obedient to orders, you can rebuild a big city from the ruins, and in the same way, if your government is determined to do something else, there is a good chance of success, right?"

"Not only that," Chen Dahe said with a smile, "This mountain was destroyed, and then rebuilt by us, this is the continuation of civilization, our Chinese civilization is the only ancient civilization in the world that has never been broken, even if it has experienced barbaric destruction again and again, we will still stand up again, and stand on top of the world, perseverance and resilience have penetrated into the blood and bones of the Chinese nation, believe me Os, this time is no exception, after the trough is the mountain, here, will be the starting point of our road to rejuvenation." ”

"Well, I believe," said Oss, with his hands spread out and a wry smile, "but I'm just a journalist, and this is just an ordinary civilian visit, so I can't do much." ”

Hearing this, Chen Dahe couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "No one asks you to do anything, you just need to report what you see and hear, and report it truthfully." ”

No wonder later generations of Westerners said that Chinese are politicians, they are really not very sensitive to these aspects, and they will not teach these in schools, but pay more attention to immediate and practical interests.

Later generations also proposed to abolish political classes in schools, believing that such courses would limit the development of thinking, and that there were other unspeakable things that those people did not understand, and that these courses taught people what kind of overall situation they had, or that they simply had ulterior motives.

Even Chen Dahe can see that Oss's interview behavior is just a way for the leaders of the provincial party committee to convey their attitude to the outside world, and there is no need for Oss to do anything, just need to report truthfully, of course, it is best to say a few good words, or even if you say some negative bad things, it doesn't matter, because the leaders just want to tell others that this is open and honest, then naturally there will be shrewd politicians and businessmen who will notice this, maybe they will not take the initiative to come, and even still be on guard, but when we take the initiative to find them, there will be so many people who will not close the door of communication, and this is enough。

The reason why Chen Dahe went to great lengths to say these things to Oss is that in addition to his patriotism as a countryman, he also has some small purposes of his own, and if he can convince Oss to have even a little positive tendency in his report, or add a little bit of content in this regard, presumably the leaders will remember his credit.

As for Oss, if he can accept Chen Dahe's point of view, then these explanations will make his report fuller and more soulful, which is also a good thing for him, and he gets benefits, plus the two get along well, so they can naturally deepen the friendship between the two.

The two continued to walk forward, and unconsciously reached the top of the mountain, Chen Dahe saw a small store in front of him, turned around and smiled at Oss, "Os, you have a good mouth, I'll take you to eat something good." ”

When he came to sit down at the table and chair outside the commissary, Chen Dahe shouted inside, "Auntie, come two bowls of tofu brain." ”

"The tofu brain used here is the spring water from this mountain, and it tastes very good with sugar," Chen Dahe explained to Oss, "People who come here usually eat this." ”

Soon two bowls of tofu brain were served on the table, Chen Dahe paid the money, picked up the spoon and ate a bite, sweet and smooth, the mountain spring tofu brain here really deserves its name.

"Well, it's delicious," Oss just took a bite, his eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "If you want to say that your favorite here is your food, it seems that every Chinese is a foodie, very simple things, but can make special different deliciousness." ”

"Of course," Chen Dahe said with a smile, "We have a history of 5,000 years of civilization, as early as thousands of years ago, there was a saying that we never get tired of eating, and our pursuit of food has never stopped,"

"For example, this tofu brain," Chen Dahe held up a spoon, "In the south, it is usually put sugar, or honey, in the north, it is soy sauce, coriander, and chili, which is another taste,"

Speaking of this, Chen Dahe shrugged, "It's a pity that I can't get used to it, I'm just a complete sweet party, and I always hope that the tofu brains in the world are sweet, just like those salty parties hope that the tofu brains will never put sugar." ”
