Chapter 233: The National Flag Flies High
Maybe it's because of the time difference, or maybe it's the first time I'm going abroad and I'm a little excited, Liu Lang opened his eyes before four o'clock in the morning, and he didn't feel sleepy.
Sun Hu's bed was neatly folded, and no one was in the house, Liu Lang turned over and put on a little pants and walked to the bathroom to wash, and just after washing, Sun Hu opened the door and entered the house sweating.
"Oh, Liu Lang, are you awake? so early?"
"I can't sleep and get up!"
"It's rare to see a kid like you who doesn't lazy in bed...... My son calls ten times a day...... By the way, I just went out to exercise a little, and I got used to it, and if I don't move my body every day, I will get crepe!"
"Aren't all masters practicing in summer and winter, Brother Sun, you are a soldier, if you become an athlete, I am afraid you can also represent the country in the Olympic Games!"
"Hehe, I don't have that ability, there are a group of black people running long distances in the playground outside, running in circles and circles, even faster than wolves, and always at a speed, it's terrible. ”
Sun Hu said with a smile.
"The blacks were very miserable back then, and if their ancestors couldn't run fast, they would have to be caught by the whites as slaves, and they were passed down from generation to generation faster than anyone else!"
"Oh? Is that really the case? That's so tragic, if it's me, then I'll do it with them, it's a big deal, what's the run?"
The two of them laughed and washed up, at this time the corridor outside the house was still very quiet, it seems that many people have not woken up, but it is also soon, this morning at half past eight everyone will gather at the gate of the Olympic Village, the Olympic Village will also be raised in front of the Chinese flag, this is the first time that the country's national flag fluttered in the sky above the Olympic Games, a historic moment for the country, no one can miss it.
The two of them were fine, so they went out of the house and came to the edge of the playground not far away, and sure enough, there were more than 20 athletes running on the playground, most of them were black, black and thin, it seemed that they were athletes from a certain African country, don't look at them as thin as refugees, but the speed was really fast, and it took less than a minute to circle around the 400-meter track, and it was like a circle, and the speed did not decrease at all.
There were not only these long-distance runners training on the playground, but also those practicing long jump and sprinting, and soon, even the long-distance runners of the Chinese team came out of the dormitory and joined the training.
"The athletes of our country are also very good! I just got off the plane yesterday and came out to train so early today, if everyone had such a will, our country would not be bullied by others!"
Sun Hu usually does not say a word, but don't forget, he is a soldier, dare to sacrifice his life for the country, if you talk about patriotism, he is the real first, yesterday's scene at the airport made him angry, if someone on the battlefield dares to insult his country like this, the other party is afraid that he will not be able to see the next day's sun, but no matter how strong you are, what can you do? It's useless! Only when everyone gathers together, thinks in one place, and works hard in one place can the country become strong.
"Come on!"
Liu Lang shouted at the compatriots passing by, and several people on the other side waved at him with a smile.
"Liu Lang, Sun Hu, it's too early for the two of you to get up!"
Moran appeared beside the two of them, also watching the athletes running on the playground with interest.
"The spirit of the Chinese team members is good, but their physical fitness is not comparable to that of black people, especially running, the top few in the United States, whether it is long-distance running or sprinting, are the strongest among black people, which may be the only thing that black people can be proud of. ”
Moran had a hint of contempt, in her eyes, blacks were a group of people with developed limbs and simple minds, far inferior to the Chinese, and these guys were irascible and always caused trouble to society, unlike the Chinese, who rarely got into trouble.
"Sister Mo, body is also an advantage, and these black people can have a certain impact on society if they can give full play to their advantages......... Yesterday I watched the news, but there are black people in the United States to demonstrate on the street, a black man was beaten by the police and caused a large demonstration of thousands of black people, if this kind of thing is replaced by us Chinese, I am afraid there will be no such a big reaction, although we Chinese are smart, but too restrained, many times with the idea that it has nothing to do with themselves, this is not good in the United States, believe it or not, don't look at the black people in terms of intelligence and we Chinese, but soon their social status will surpass us Chinese. ”
Liu Lang's words are not nonsense, the status of blacks in the United States is indeed getting higher and higher, thanks to their unity, as long as there is anything suspected of discriminating against blacks, the entire black people in the United States have to jump out and cheer, thirty years later, the United States also has the first black president, which has reached a peak of black status, on the other hand, the Chinese have always been tepid, even if there is discrimination, at best stand up and say a few innocuous words, which is of no use to arrogant whites.
Of course, Liu Lang's words are still not believed by Mo Lan, in her eyes, the reason why the status of the Chinese is not high is because the country is not strong enough, but she didn't expect that there are also their own reasons for this.
At about seven o'clock, everyone had already gotten up, everyone had washed up and had breakfast, and then they gathered at the gate of the Olympic Village to prepare for the national flag-raising ceremony.
There are more than 100 flagpoles at the door, and a third of them have been hung with national flags, the most central of which is naturally the American flag, and the flagpole is a lot taller than the others.
After a while, the Australian flag was also raised, those Australians stood under the flagpole with solemn expressions, and the organizing committee also played their national anthem, and everyone sang in unison.
Then the flags of two more countries were raised, one was a country in Africa, and the other was a small country in Europe, and there were not many athletes in these two countries, and there were only about 20 people in that African country.
"Why haven't you come to our country yet?"
The other athletes who had hoisted the flag had left, but the Chinese flag had not yet been hung on the flagpole.
Lu Mingzhi took Zhang Xianchu and a few others to find the people of the organizing committee immediately, and more than ten minutes later, Lu Mingzhi and Zhang Xianchu appeared again, one by one.
"What are you going to do? Why haven't you prepared our national flag? This is a serious diplomatic problem, and we will go to the United Nations to sue you!"
That Zhang Xianchu yelled at a staff member of the organizing committee, and the other party couldn't stop explaining.
"What's going on?"
Liu Lang stepped forward to ask.
"It's too much, the organizing committee even said that they forgot to prepare our flag......... This is discrimination, naked discrimination, our country is one of the five permanent members, and we dare to despise us so much, we want to sue the United Nations and let the world know about the arrogance of you Americans!"
If it weren't for Lu Mingzhi's good education, I'm afraid he would have scolded him by now, not only Lu Mingzhi, but also those athletes were also excited after learning about this incident, and if the leaders gave them an order to smash the Olympic Village now, they would not hesitate.
"No, this matter is going to make a big fuss!"
Now the calmest is Liu Lang, this kind of thing is too common, not to mention now, even after the country gradually becomes stronger, it is not uncommon, what deliberately hangs your national flag backwards when participating in a certain event, or the referee favors your opponent during the game, this is not only because of the weakness of your country, but also for the United States, you China is their enemy, so you have to deliberately find some trouble, that is, not to cause much impact, but also to affect your mood.
Take the current national flag incident as an example, even if you get into trouble with the United Nations, people say that the national flag can't be found, and you can't do anything, and in the end it will affect you.
Liu Lang looked around and saw an athlete holding a national flag not far away.
"Teng Teng Teng!"
Liu Lang walked through the crowd and came to the man's side.
"Give me the flag!"
Liu Lang snatched the other party's national flag as soon as he grabbed it.
"Grandpa Lu, let's hold a ceremony with this national flag for the time being! Don't affect the athletes' emotions!"
"Ahh
Hearing Liu Lang say this, Lu Mingzhi also reacted, yes! They are here to participate in the competition, but they are not going to the United States to quarrel with the other party, and even if they "fight a lawsuit" with the other party, it will not affect the emotions of the athletes.
"Okay, you two, tie the national flag to it, and let's raise the flag ourselves!"
Lu Mingzhi gave an order, and the two athletes raised the national flag high in front of the flagpole, and then tied it seriously.
The national flag was not prepared, and naturally the national anthem was not either, Lu Mingzhi watched the national flag being tied to the sliding rope and shouted with all his might: "All stand upright, raise the national flag, and sing the national anthem!"
Everyone saluted and sang the national anthem: Arise, ......... those who do not want to be slaves!
With the majestic national anthem sounding, everyone watched intently as the national flag was raised, and at the same time a strong patriotic enthusiasm was also ignited in the chest, not only all athletes, but also Moran was staring at the national flag, although she was not an American citizen, but as a descendant of China, at this moment also felt the call from the Chinese nation, which has nothing to do with nationality, but is a connection of five thousand years of blood and culture.
"Rite over!"
The bright red national flag finally fluttered over the Olympic Village, and finally returned to the embrace of the Olympic family after decades, even if the process was full of ups and downs, the country still stood here unstoppable, even if there were countless dangers during the period, even if there were countless enemies who wanted to stop it, but no one could stop this powerful country, which is the general trend of history.
More than 100 people here witnessed this great moment, and at the same time felt a strong sense of responsibility, and they all secretly determined to show their strength in this Olympic Games and let the world see the face of the Chinese nation.
