Father told Qu Lihua a few more words, telling Qu Lihua to cherish this rare learning opportunity and follow Captain Xia to investigate.
Hanging up the phone, Qu Lihua could feel her father's ardent hope for her, she knew that her father's generation had endured hardships, went to the mountains and went to the countryside, vigorously and vigorously dedicated their youth to the construction of the motherland.

"Yes, I must cherish this learning opportunity and learn more from the elders, Dean Zhang, Head Xia, and many foreign teachers and friends who are enthusiastic about being our tour guides, which also left a deep impression on Qu Lihua. ”
Even if you and the tour group, you may not be able to meet so many international friends who are familiar with the local culture and customs, and they come to explain and introduce the history and culture of their country, which is more thorough and in-depth, which makes Qu Lihua gain a lot.
The next day, Qu Lihua got up and freshened up, went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast, and after the head of the Xia regiment gathered, he took everyone to set off.

Oliver greeted everyone with a smile and asked everyone to get on the tour bus before smiling and introducing everyone.
"The paintings, the architecture, the sculptures, the poems and the arias left behind by the great artists of the Renaissance, you only have to glance at the gloves, shoes, clothing, fabrics, hairstyles and furniture displayed in the kitchen window and you will feel a different Italy. ”
"Everyone knows that France and Italy are both fashion countries, and the history and culture of Italy have been left in every item over the years, and you can feel it at the window door of any of our Italian stores. ”
"Today, I'm going to take you to take a look and feel the charm and charm of this country!"
"When we think of Rome, the first famous attraction that comes to mind is the Colosseum. ”
Meng Wenjie nodded, and immediately expressed interest, "Yes, I have heard of it, and I have seen many movies shot in this place before, which are very legendary!"
Oliver smiled, the Colosseum is a symbol of ancient Roman civilization, and the ruins are located in the center of Rome, the capital of Italy, south of Piazza Venezia, near the ancient Roman market.
Oliver said that the Colosseum was built by the Roman Emperor Vepasian to celebrate the victory of the conquest of Jerusalem, and forced 80,000 Jewish and Arab captives to become slaves.
Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie stood in the audience, looking up, in many Italian movies, there have been such scenes, two strong gladiators, holding weapons such as sharp knives or daggers, killing each other.
The plot is tense and exciting, and there are bursts of cheers from the stands, urging the gladiators to fight more excitingly.
Although history is far away, the imprint left by history is still there, and there seems to be people's shouts in the ears, urging the gladiators to fight brutally to seek a chance to survive, which looks very bloody and cruel.
The Colosseum is a form of architecture that originated from the theaters of the ancient Greek period, when theaters were built on the side of a hill in a semi-circular shape, and the auditorium rose from the hillside, and then gradually developed into its current appearance.
The Colosseum is the largest oval gladiatorial arena in the Roman Empire, with a performance area in the center, the ground is paved with floors, and the outside is surrounded by layers of stands, divided into five areas, the bottom front row is the VIP level, and the spectator seats also have a canopy hung with suspensions, which is used to shade the sun, and the canopy is inclined to the middle to facilitate ventilation, and these canopies are controlled by sailors standing on the top colonnade like controlling sails.
Xia Yuxiang, head of the group, also sighed, "from the function, scale, technology and artistic style of all aspects, the Colosseum is one of the masterpieces of ancient Roman architecture, the speed of construction is also a miracle at that time, the Colosseum can accommodate about 90,000 spectators, a total of 3 layers of seats, the lower floor, the middle floor and the upper floor, the top floor has a stand that can only stand, there are a lot of people who can sit, watch here, can see very clearly, so the ancient Roman slave owners also like to come here for entertainment." ”
