Lebanon, in fact, is a country with all kinds of strange things, and there are more Lebanese abroad than at home. The proportion of refugees in the world is the highest. It used to be the only Christian country in the Middle East, but now it has become a country with the largest population.

It is a country full of extreme opposites and unity, dilapidated and complete, ancient and modern, traditional and modern, war and peace.

It wasn't until you were there that SC Johnson realized that it was actually a Mediterranean country?

Surrounded by the feud Israel and Syria, one is very capable of fighting, and the other is capable of being beaten. With a population of 6 million and 2 million refugees, it has the highest proportion of refugees in the world. Eight million Lebanese are in exile, mostly Christian. Like the Jews next to him, he likes to do business. Restaurants and kiosks have opened all over the world.

Hollywood star George Clooney's wife is a Lebanese Druze, and betraying their teachings to marry the handsome and rich George, it must be true love.

Before the age of 40, the Druze people can live an ordinary life in the market, and after the age of 40, they must choose whether to transfer to the religious family or continue to live in the small people, if they choose to enter the big family, they must strictly abide by the teachings, study the scriptures, give up pork, leave the wine, put on a white hat, and wear a religious robe. Druze people cannot have polygamy, divorce or husbands cannot remarry, and cannot leave the church. Outsiders are also not allowed to join the Druze family. The Maronites of Lebanon Christianity will say later.

Lebanon, the smallest point on the Asian continent, has been abused by almost all the rulers of history, Phoenicians, Egyptians, Greeks, Persians, Romans, Arabs, Crusaders, Turks......

The land has 7,000 years of evidence, from 1550 BC to 1,000 years of Phoenician rule, and many Lebanese still don't want to say that they are Arabs, and that it doesn't matter if they call themselves Phoenicians. During the Roman Empire, Christianity was introduced, and later the Maronite sect was popularized in Lebanon. Later, during the reign of the Arabs, the Christians were oppressed and took refuge in the mountains and built monasteries full of mountains. During the Crusades, Christians reconnected with European Catholicism and recognized the Pope.

Since the end of the civil war for decades, there have been bombs of all kinds, conflicts with Israel and Syria on the border, troubles between various sects, and the influx of refugees. But standing in the city, it still feels safe, and everyone should do whatever they want. People go out every day to brag and drink, but the memory of the war is engraved on every building full of bullet holes and in everyone's hearts.

Walking in the streets and alleys of Beirut, the biggest feeling is the unique clutter of *** country, all kinds of small shops and vendors are busy, shuttling through dilapidated buildings. Most of life is about living.

The seaside marina area is filled with a variety of glass-style modern buildings and is brightly lit. Yachts are moored in front of coffee booths, citizens sit leisurely in bars, and pedestrian walkways are built along the coast. High-end shopping malls and hotels make people forget about the bullet holes of war and believe that life will slowly get better.

The Roman site of Baalbek is the largest surviving Roman site in the world, with a history of 2,000 years, and is also one of the World Heritage Sites. Only 10 kilometres away, surrounded by refugee camps, it is also home to the headquarters of Lebanese Allah, one of the most prominent international guerrilla groups.

Allah is a Shiite *** political party and armed group, and its military power is stronger than that of the Lebanese government army. Control of a large area of Lebanon, the de facto state of China. It has been recognized as an extremist organization by the United States, Canada, the European Union, and even the Arab League and Gulf countries, which are also sectarians.

The highest goal is the establishment of a ******* republic in Lebanon and the subsequent universalization of religion throughout the world. Raised by Iran, it was the first to rely on anti-Syrian, anti-American and French imperialism, and guerrilla tactics. It has undergone several tactical adjustments over the decades and is now being whitewashed into a normal political party in the country. It currently holds 29 of the 128 seats in Parliament. This strange organization actually sent troops to Syria to support Assad in the fight against the opposition, and also went to Syria and Iraq to fight ISIS......

Upon arriving at the site, SC Johnson was surprised. Such a big pile of rocks is not alone?

What if in any country, such a spectacular site is not crowded?

Looking into the distance, the once geometric mountains of Lebanon are also covered in cedars. For thousands of years, the Phoenicians built merchant ships out of cedar, becoming the world's first maritime empire. The Egyptians made mummies out of pine resin and papyrus from logs where the earliest hieroglyphs were written.

Solomon built the First and Second Temples of Jerusalem out of cedar, and the Roman emperor Hadrian harvested the cedar forests and halted the felling. During World War I, the British resumed laying railways with cedar wood. The massive felling of these cedar forests, which grow at altitudes above 2,000 meters, is now one of the few stocks in the country.

In 1998, the Cedars of God, with 2 trees over 3,000 years old and 10 trees over 1,000 years old, with only 375 trees left, was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site and opened up as a nature reserve.

The Sacred Valley is dotted with a variety of naturally formed caves where Paleolithic hominids began to dwell. Centuries after the arrival of Jesus, hermits looking for peace began to practice here, and more than 1,000 years of persecution of Christians led to more and more Christians of various denominations moving here to settle here.

It is considered to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, having been around since 8000 BC. The pre-Homerician Phoenician priest wrote in his semi-mythological epic that Byblos was the first city created by Cronus, the father of Zeus, for the Phoenicians, and the earliest in human history.

The ancient Greek word for the city's current name, Byblos, is Β?? βλο?? , is it β?? βλο?? and eventually evolved into Bible, the Bible we all heard.

As one of the first transit ports to import papyrus from Ancient Egypt to Ancient Greece and cedar wood from Lebanon to Ancient Egypt, it soon became one of the most important cities in the Middle East. Later the Phoenicians created the Phoenician alphabet here, and almost all the early Phoenician stone carvings were found here.

The surviving Phoenicians built a wall of the sea to protect against the waves. The variety of ancient buildings and religious symbols everywhere make you feel like you are in another world.

The small village of Harissa on Chapel Hill and Jounieh at the bottom of the hill next to the church, the vicissitudes of history, the splendid culture, the intricate diversity, and the people who have suffered but have hope, all make SC Johnson have a special memory of this small country.

I hope that one day, the war will not come again, hope will not be shattered, and the beauty will continue.
