(One Hundred and One)

Walking around Beijing is proud, watching the flag-raising, and the old friends are encountered

"Ladies and gentlemen: with the speed of the train, we will soon arrive at the terminal Beijing West Railway Station, please organize your belongings in advance, so as not to take each other by mistake or forget on the train, when you are about to say goodbye to our Harmony EMU train, please allow me to express my heartfelt thanks on behalf of all the EMU staff to your care, understanding and support along the way, welcome you to take the Beijing-Kowloon high-speed rail Harmony EMU train again, see you next time on your trip!"

Ling Feng stood up and stretched out for a long time, he had just taken a nap, and a past that he hadn't remembered for a long time was really passed through in his mind. One city, two attractions, three girls, weaving and blending, infinite sadness.

After more than eight hours of high-speed rail, it finally arrived at the station, Ling Feng picked up the big bag and moved towards the door. Due to the large number of passengers, Ling Feng waited for five minutes before stepping out of the door. At the end of November, the temperature in Beijing is like the late autumn in my hometown, which is not particularly cold, but it has the breath of winter.

Ling Feng walked forward with the flow of people, and it took about ten minutes to walk out of Beijing West Railway Station and come to the North Square.

"Brother Feng. A voice came from behind him.

"Yulin, I've kept you waiting, I didn't expect so many people to enter Beijing. Ling Feng hurriedly expressed his apologies.

"Is it normal, the capital?" said Yulin as he took the two bags from Ling Feng's hand.

Ling Feng had always been reluctant to ask for help, and this time he was forced to do so. Half a month ago in Shenzhen, after Ling Feng informed Xu Gang of his decision to go home and explained the reason in detail, Xu Gang picked up the phone and was about to book a plane ticket for Ling Feng. Ling Feng didn't dare to sit on a plane before, and secondly, he thought that taking the train could save some money than taking a plane, so he pretended to say that he wanted to take the train to Beijing by the way, and called Yulin in Beijing in front of Xu Gang. So, Xu Gang booked a high-speed rail from Shenzhen to Beijing and a sleeper from Beijing to Mudanjiang for Ling Feng, and the money was not spent.

"Brother Feng, let's go to dinner first, and then go to the hotel, the hotel in my picture is close to the Beijing Railway Station, between the station and Tiananmen Square, so that it is convenient for you to take the car and visit. Yulin planned the itinerary and introduced the general situation of the hotel.

"Everything is up to you, I'm sorry for you this time. Ling Feng expressed his gratitude.

"Brother Feng, what are you talking about? Aren't we brothers? Yulin feigned anger.

Ling Feng went to a noodle restaurant under the guidance of Yulin and simply ordered two servings of noodles.

"Get in the car dumplings and get off the noodles, eat a simple meal today, and tomorrow I will invite Brother Feng to eat roast duck." "Yulin has been in Beijing for many years, and he has done his best to be a landlord.

"You're welcome, you don't have to break the bank, you still have to go to work during the day, you don't have to accompany me. Ling Feng knew Yulin's work situation and didn't want to disturb him too much.

"Brother Feng is considerate of me, the roast duck still has to be eaten, on the southeast roadside of Tiananmen Square, authentic Quanjude, eighty yuan a piece, I will eat it tomorrow night, and then go to the Bird's Nest after eating." Yulin works during the day and expresses her willingness to visit at night.

"By the way, is the old pimple still in Beijing?" Ling Feng suddenly remembered Xiuying.

"I went back to Mudanjiang this summer and got divorced. Yulin's expression was a little gloomy.

Hearing that Xiuying was divorced, Ling Feng was inconvenient to inquire anymore, so he hurriedly finished eating noodles and got on a bus under the guidance of Yulin.

At night, the city of Beijing, ancient and modern, coexists, revealing a strong charm. Ling Feng was surprised by everything outside the car window, and he couldn't stop looking around. Looking at it, Ling Feng found that some of the commercial ports on the street had the word Chang'an.

"Could it be that the street where the car dealer is located at this time is the famous Chang'an Avenue in Beijing?"

Just thinking about it, the Tiananmen Tower under the light appeared in front of him. The golden tiles, the red wall, the national emblem, the fluttering red flag, and the photos and slogans of the great man jumped in front of him like this, Ling Feng was excited in his heart, the building in front of him was exactly the same as the temple in his heart.

The car traveled for another ten minutes, and Ling Feng got out of the car with Yulin, and turned around to the hotel that Yulin had met beforehand. After completing the formalities, Yulin helped send the things into the room again.

"Brother Feng, you have also taken the train for a day today, rest early, brother will not bother, let's see you tomorrow night." After Yulin finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.

Sending Yulin away, Ling Feng lay on the bed after washing, but he couldn't sleep after turning over and over.

"This is the city of Beijing that I have always dreamed of! When I went to Shenzhen at the beginning of the year, I couldn't get into Beijing, so I must not waste time this time. Thinking of this, Ling Feng got out of bed and got dressed and walked out of the room.

This hotel is a budget hotel, the service desk is located on the second floor, and a girl with a southern accent is sitting in the service desk playing with a computer.

"It's a fishing game, right?" Ling Feng said hello first.

"Hey, how do you know I'm playing a fishing game?" the southern girl was surprised.

"Can you ask, how many buses will you take to Tiananmen Square?" Ling Feng replied.

"Go downstairs and go forward, there is a bus stop 100 meters, you can get to Tiananmen Square, I forgot a few ways. The southern girl said and pointed in the direction of the station.

"Thank you. Ling Feng nodded in thanks.

Farewell to the southern girl, Ling Feng walked downstairs. When he walked to the turn of the stairs, Ling Feng looked up and saw the computer screen in front of the southern girl's desk, sure enough, it was a fishing game page, it seems that this little game is really popular!

The southern girl said well, out of the hotel gate and walked forward about a hundred meters to the bus stop. After waiting for a while, the bus came.

When the car arrived at Qianmen Station, Ling Feng got out of the car and became excited again. Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, Monument to the People's Heroes, Great Hall of the People, these sacred names appear in my mind again.

"Let's take a night tour of Tiananmen Square today. ”

Ling Feng planned like this, but he didn't expect to encounter a tragic scene.

As soon as Ling Feng arrived at the security checkpoint at the southeast corner of Tiananmen Square, Tiananmen Square began to be cleared. Ling Feng circled around the periphery of Tiananmen Square, looked into the square, and saw that the huge national unity column specially customized for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China was bright and dazzling, and it was divided into the east and west sides of the square, like 56 guards protecting Tiananmen Square, making Tiananmen Square present a festive and solemn atmosphere at night. In this atmosphere, Chairman Mao's memorial hall and heroic commemorative plaques stand calmly and peacefully in the center of the square, looking extremely sacred.

After Ling Feng finished his night tour of Tiananmen Square and took the bus back to the hotel, it was past midnight. The southern girl was already asleep on the floor behind the service desk, Ling Feng walked back to his room lightly, washed up and fell asleep. In the dream, there was a scene in the cold wind, the mother waved goodbye to her son, the shriveled palm, the white hair in the wind, made Ling Feng want to cry without tears.

The next day, when Ling Feng woke up, he was already three strokes a day, went out to find a small shop, had breakfast, and strolled around. Ling Feng has always been reluctant to go shopping, but this is the main street of Beijing! Maybe a courtyard house or a famous historical building will flash out.

Ling Feng has a strong sense of direction since he was a child, and he has seen the map of Beijing for several days before coming to Beijing, so he is not worried that he will get lost.

As the saying goes, Ling Feng, who was wandering around, actually came to the Temple of Heaven Park by mistake, bought a ticket to enter the door, and appreciated the royal majesty. The exquisite design of the echo wall and the three-tone stone, the tall and majestic prayer hall, the red wall and yellow tiles of the Zhaiguan dormitory, and the magnificent atmosphere of the mound make Ling Feng linger everywhere.

Due to an appointment with Yulin, Ling Feng returned to the hotel after visiting the Temple of Heaven. Just after five o'clock in the evening, Yulin arrived with roast duck, mixed vegetables and beer.

To be honest, Ling Feng was not very proud of the roast duck, especially the sweet noodle sauce, but the brother's affection could not be disappointed.

"Brother Feng, are you going back to Mudanjiang this time to visit relatives or what? Yulin first raised the topic.

"I'm not going back to Shenzhen, I'm looking for something to do at home. Ling Feng told the truth.

"Five or six thousand a month, it's hard to find home. Yulin's tone was full of pity.

"Brother, it's hard to put into words! First, Shenzhen is too hot to get used to, and second, why I went to Shenzhen, you know, now I miss my son. Ling Feng understated.

"Yes, I only know what it feels like! I'm only 4,000 a month here, and I have to work shifts, so it's a pity that you just give up there!. Yulin couldn't help but sigh and regret it.

"You are seconded to Beijing, isn't Mudanjiang still open a copy for you, and I have no pity here, earn more and spend more, earn less and spend less. Ling Feng was a little self-comforting.

In fact, there is another reason, Ling Feng didn't say it, that is, the scale of his friend Xu Gang's company in Shenzhen is not large, and the monthly salary of more than 5,000 a month contains buddy friendship, so it can't be delicious without chopsticks!

"Brother Feng, how many days are you going to stay in Beijing, do you still have time to climb the Great Wall? Yulin changed the subject.

"I'll have to wait for the next time to climb the Great Wall, tomorrow's noon train. Ling Feng informed the departure date.

"So fast, why don't you stay for a few more days? I won't be able to send it to the station at noon tomorrow, even if I practice it for Brother Feng today." Yulin said and raised the beer in his hand.

"Okay, cheers, he'll go back to Mudanjiang to reunite in the future. Ling Feng drank the half can of beer in his hand.

Full of wine and food, Ling Feng took the subway with Yulin to the Olympic Park. The bird's nest and the water cube under the changing lights once again intoxicated Ling Feng, the beauty of the ancient rhyme during the day, and the wonder of science and technology at night, what a wonderful day!

Before dawn the next day, Ling Feng got up and rushed to Tiananmen Square, and it would be a pity not to come to Beijing without seeing the flag-raising.

Ling Feng came to the southeast corner of the square where he got off the bus the night before, it was still early, but the tourists who watched the flag-raising had already lined up in a long line. Ling Feng was lucky, when Tiananmen Square began to release people inside, the first batch happened to be stuck in a row behind Ling Feng. After the security check, everyone was running towards the middle of the square, and Ling Feng did not show weakness, and after a slam he grabbed a good position, which was located fifty meters in front of the flagpole of the national flagpole and the position on the right side of the isolation rope.

When the time for raising the flag came, the national flag guards crossed the Jinshui Bridge in a majestic manner, and the square was solemn.

On December 1, it coincided with the live performance of the national anthem by the military band. When the passionate national anthem sounded and the five-star red flag was raised, Ling Feng burst into tears. I finally understood my father, and I finally stood where my father stood back then.

The flag-raising ceremony is over, and the crowd gradually disperses, but there are still many people in the square, and itinerant vendors selling souvenirs are selling their goods like needles.

Ling Feng was wandering among the vendors, and someone tapped him on the shoulder, and at the same time, a familiar voice came: "Brother Feng, what a coincidence, we can actually meet in Tiananmen Square in Beijing." ”

Ling Feng turned around and followed the prestige, and there were two acquaintances, a man and a woman, who stood tall, and hurriedly replied: "Yixuan, Xiao Wu, hello, hello, this is too coincidental, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, right?"

Yi Xuan pondered for a moment and replied: "Isn't it, it has been eleven years since Zhalong said goodbye in ninety-eight years to this year, and my son has gone to school." ”

Ling Feng laughed and said, "It's really fast! You've been a mother this time, what are you two doing?"

Xiao Wu replied: "Our bureau sent us to study in other places, and we passed by Beijing to see the flag-raising. ”

Ling Feng already understood in his heart, it seems that Xiao Wu's family is very capable!

"How is Brother Jianjun, do you still have contact?" Ling Feng asked Xiao Wu.

"Brother Jianjun is married again, and he is busy running a school with his daughter-in-law all day long, which is very good. Xiao Wu replied.

"Don't just talk about the two of you, don't just talk about us, tell me about you, are you married, do you have children, and where do you want to go?" Yi Xuan asked a series of questions.

"I'm married and have children, and I've just come back from Shenzhen, so I'm stopping by to see the flag-raising. Ling Feng replied.

"That's good, I know that my brother Feng can't be wrong. Yi Xuan said happily.

"Are your parents okay?" Ling Feng thought of Minister Meng and Lao Zhang.

"My parents are fine, they are both retired, what about bringing us children?" Yi Xuan replied.

"Daughter-in-law, let's go, don't delay Brother Feng. Xiao Wu urged Yi Xuan.

Ling Feng waved goodbye to Yi Xuan and Xiao Wu, and Zhi Xuan walked more than ten meters away and turned around and ran back.

"Brother Feng, I sincerely thank you, I now understand why you treated me like that in the first place, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to live so happily. Yi Xuan ran away after speaking.

Bidding farewell to Yi Xuan, Ling Feng then visited Tiananmen Square, looked at the Monument to the People's Heroes from afar, and then looked at the Great Hall of the People across the street, and finally lined up with the crowd. As soon as eight o'clock arrived, Chairman Mao's Memorial Hall opened on time. The crowd began to move forward slowly, passed the security check, and continued to move forward to the gate of the memorial hall, where a tall white marble statue of Chairman Mao appeared in front of them. Bypassing the wall behind the statue, Ling Feng saw the crystal coffin and the sleeping great man in the crystal coffin. There was no time to pay his respects carefully, Ling Feng had been surrounded by the front and back out of the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall. Ling Feng, who was still unsatisfied, walked to the city gate tower not far away, passed through the tall arch of the ancient city gate tower, and saw a city gate tower with a unique shape across the road.

"Isn't this the city gate tower on the cigarette box at the big front gate?"

Carefully watch, slowly taste. Lingfeng sighed at the grand scale and majestic momentum of the front gate building, and also sighed at the superb skills of the ancient craftsmen.

Due to the relationship of time, Ling Feng did not visit the Forbidden City, but only stayed in front of Tiananmen Square to take pictures.

Someone once said: Only when there are deficiencies in life can there be hope, and only when there are regrets can there be cherishment. Let's leave some regrets in life! This is not a kind of memory.
