After visiting the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Xiao Yang took Zhou Sen to visit Tashan Temple, also known as Tazi Mountain, located in the north of Phnom Penh City, located on the top of a hill about 100 meters high, is the highest point in Phnom Penh.

"Climb high and overlook, you can see the scenery of Phnom Penh city clearly, there are many tourists here, all of them come here!"

Zhou Sen followed Xiao Yang to climb the mountain and observed, the scenery is really good, the air is fresh, there are steps, and tourists can go up the steps.

"I originally thought that there were more tourists going to Singapore and Thailand, but I didn't expect that there would still be tourists visiting Cambodia?"

Xiao Yang smiled, "Yes, there are tourists from all over the world, people always like fresh, they go to Europe and the United States a lot, they become interested in Southeast Asia, want to change a place to travel, relax, Cambodia is very close to China." ”

Cambodia is located in Cambodia is located in the Indochina Peninsula of Asia, bordered by Thailand to the west and northwest, Laos to the northeast, Vietnam to the east and southeast, and the Gulf of Siam to the south. ”

"Cambodia happens to be at the core of the intersection of these three directions, and it is Cambodia's geographical location that has attracted China's attention. ”

"I think why my uncle left his hometown in the first place and went south to look for development opportunities, because at that time, our small fishing village was so poor, with a large population and few employment opportunities, that the young people in the village had to go out to work and seek development. ”

"My hometown is Chaoshan, and the life of Chaoshan people at that time was very poor, if they didn't go outside, they were likely to starve to death if they stayed in the village. ”

"My father became ill and died of illness, only my uncle was the pillar of the family, and the family situation at that time also made him have no choice, I heard my uncle talk about his mentality of trying it out, and he had the courage to come out, I still admire him very much, and I often ask myself, will young people nowadays be as hard-working as our fathers, dare to fight?"

"The young people of our generation are much better than the living environment of their parents, and they are a group of young people who have grown up in a honey pot, and compared with their parents, they have lost their hard-working spirit, and now young people I think are still more squeamish, and their ability to resist setbacks is much worse than our parents. ”

"It's really not easy for them, my father is just a fisherman, he is hardworking and kind, he believes in working with his own hands, having enough food and clothing, as long as he is willing to work and work responsibly, he will definitely make a fortune. ”

"He used to be a famous young man in our village, he fished more than others, but unfortunately he was too desperate, and he didn't pay attention to his illness, after a long time, he was overworked, and he was seriously ill, I still remember my father lying on the hospital bed, dying, he kept coughing, and it was difficult to call his wife and children to the bedside. ”

"He looked at us with a pale face, and confessed his last words to my mother, I was still young at that time, and I didn't know much what it meant to be separated from life and death, and my mother told me to kneel, and I knelt obediently, and I didn't know what would happen. ”

"Seeing my mother patiently listening to my father with tears in her eyes, and then calling me to the bedside, my father looked at my face, nodded with difficulty, and told me to listen to my mother!"

I nodded dumbly, that was the last time, and when my uncle arrived, my father's breath was already very weak, and he didn't have time to explain to his brother, so he died. ”

This scene is forever engraved in my mind, sometimes looking back, I still feel very emotional, human life is really precious, a person who was originally alive and well, suddenly parted with his relatives, only people who have experienced life and death parting, only know how to cherish the preciousness of relatives. ”

"I sometimes see children and parents quarreling, the quarrel is so intense, relatives seem to be like enemies, I am very emotional, can be reincarnated in a family, get together in this life, is fate, in fact, those quarreling families, are for some trivial things, they seem irreconcilable contradictions, in fact, nothing, just narrow-minded, the pattern is too small. ”

"However, every family has a difficult scripture, every family has troubles, and some are only known by the family, and the Chinese believe that the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, and can only be solved by the family themselves. ”

"Our family is different, because of the life and death separation with my father, our family is very united, my uncle is very good, has a deep affection for the eldest brother, the two brothers grew up together, the eldest brother died of illness, and entrusted our family to the uncle. ”

"My uncle recalled it many years later and told me that from that time on, he felt that his responsibilities were heavier!"

"Far away, let's talk about it, that is, because of Cambodia's important geographical location, so China attaches great importance to Cambodia, my family is also the best example, we went south from Chaoshan, looking for opportunities for development, my uncle went to Vietnam, went to Thailand, and finally chose to settle down in Cambodia, but also optimistic about the development of Cambodia. ”

"Sometimes, after working for a long time, people always need to rest, come here to see, because there is a belief, people believe in Buddhism, but also express their piety, come to the temple to burn incense and pray, ask the gods to bless. ”

"Although I received a higher education in university and believed in science, I think it is not contradictory to believe in Buddhism, which teaches people to be kind, to keep their duties, to maintain their inner peace, not to lose themselves, not to be swayed by material desires, I think it is also very good. ”

"There are steps here, and believers can go up the steps, and there are white sculptures next to them, symbolizing piety!"

Zhou Sen followed Xiao Yang, went up the mountain, climbed to the top a little panting, so many steps can go up, it is not easy, there are a large number of Khmer style reliefs in the temple, there are two low towers on the mountain gate, and there is a seven-headed Naga snake statue at each of the two entrances of the mountain road, and there are many Angkor-style sculptures on the handrails.

I heard Xiao Yang say that there are legends, and I don't figure them out one by one, so Zhou Sen also watched it and let the photographer shoot the exterior scenes.

The inside of the temple is really an eye-opener for Zhou Sen, the decoration is very elegant, there are murals painted inside, it is very spectacular, Xiao Yang said that it is related to the legend, and the layout in the Thai temple is a bit similar, but different.

Believers pious in front of the Buddha statue to worship, burn incense, Zhou Sen also followed Xiao Yang walked again, came out and followed up next to a mountain, Xiao Yang is right, from the top of the mountain can overlook the city scenery of Phnom Penh City.

"Climb high and overlook, the mood is really good, standing here, I think of my uncle with our whole family, it is not easy to work hard, hard work, only then can our family now a well-off life, our family has experienced hardships, so I especially cherish the hard-won life!"

Zhou Sen nodded, stood next to Xiao Yang, and looked into the distance, he knew that a family like Xiao Yang was just a microcosm, many cities in the south of China, and many overseas Chinese had crossed the ocean to develop in Southeast Asian countries, which was a microcosm of the times and the trajectory of the development of these Southeast Asian countries.
