In November, the temperature difference between the south and the north is still quite large, and there is still a light rain in the south, but there are snowflakes in the north, which shows how vast our motherland is.

Beijing West Railway Station opened on January 21, 1996 and was one of the largest modern railway passenger stations in Asia at the time of its opening. Wu Fan, who was thinly dressed, walked out of Beijing West Railway Station with a jacket tightly wrapped in the cold wind, he was not in the mood to appreciate this great building, but he felt that there were many people in the capital...... The bustling crowd, the overwhelming "yellow noodles", "do you live in a hotel", "do you want an invoice", "a copy of the map of Beijing", all kinds of soliciting customers and shouting come and go.

"Brother, where are you going?" I'll drive you..."A 'faced' driver grabbed Wu Fan and opened the rear door as he spoke.

When Wu Fan first came to Beijing, in this capital with many high-rise buildings and roads, he really didn't know how to get to Tiananmen Square, so he simply entered the "noodle" map for convenience.

"Brother, where are you going! The starting price is 10 yuan, and one yuan is added for each kilometer after ten kilometers.

The enthusiasm of the 'Tiananmen' driver was in stark contrast to Wu Fan's cold answer, and the driver was not angry, and continued to ask Wu Fan: "Go to Tiananmen, then let's take the 2nd Ring Road, or take Chang'an Avenue ?...."

Wu Fan was a little tired after taking the train for two days and one night, he closed his eyes and replied lazily: "Whatever..."

"Well, brother, you are a cheerful person, the first time you come to Beijing, my brother pulls you to walk the 2nd Ring, you also appreciate the overpass in Beijing... Beijing's overpasses have their own characteristics and different design styles...... "The driver chattered about Beijing's overpasses, and didn't care whether Wu Fan was listening. It is said that Beijing's 'brother' can talk, but this is really not blowing.

(Digression: At that time, in the streets and alleys of Beijing, as long as there were cars, there were "noodles" driving, which became one of the main means of transportation for the people of Beijing.) On the streets of Beijing, tens of thousands of "yellow worms" shuttle back and forth, which can be regarded as a "beautiful" scenery in Beijing in that era. ）

Wu Fan didn't have the heart to chat, nor was he in the mood to enjoy the scenery, so he dozed off and fell asleep unconsciously.

"Wake up, brother" I don't know how long it took, the driver parked the car on the side of the road and woke up Wu Fan.

"Have you arrived?... Where is this?..." Wu Fan rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked around the window, and asked suspiciously.

"This is the front gate, Dashilar, where is Tiananmen Square, no parking is allowed on Chang'an Street, brother, I can only put you here," the driver said as he pointed in the direction of Tiananmen Square and said to Wu Fan.

Wu Fan looked in the direction pointed by the driver, and was a little excited: Tiananmen... It's Tiananmen! It's the same as seeing Tiananmen in a painting when I was a child......

"Brother, the fare is 56 yuan in total, this invoice is unified across the country, you can reimburse it when you go back..."The driver pointed to the number on the meter and printed the invoice for Wu Fan and said.

“56...?!“ After Wu Fan heard the driver quote the fare, he withdrew his excited gaze at Tiananmen Square, and asked suspiciously, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"56, the real price is clear, Tong Suo is not bullied" The driver smiled and handed over the invoice.

Wu Fan: "Why is it so expensive, isn't it ten yuan?"

Driver: "Brother, ten yuan is the starting price, one more kilometer plus one yuan, we take the 2nd ring road, I asked you when I got on the car, is it to take the 2nd ring road, the 2nd ring road is a fully enclosed whole 32 kilometers, 56 yuan fare is not expensive at all......"

Wu Fan was a little confused, knowing that the driver would take a detour to rip off customers, but what could he do? Not to mention that he was new to Beijing and was unfamiliar with the place, even if the old Beijing did not refuse the route that the driver chose for you, you had to pay for it when you arrived at the station. Wu Fan could only admit that he was unlucky and paid for the car.

The driver collected the car money, snickered, and diligently helped Wu Fan open the car door: Brother, I wish you a happy time in Beijing......

Wu Fan looked at the distant 'face' and scolded in his heart: What a smiling tiger, an old fox who kills people without seeing blood.

As soon as Wu Fan wanted to walk towards Tiananmen Square, he was pulled by a girl: "Sir, are you going to the Badaling Great Wall?" 50 yuan per person, take care of the meal at noon, and set off tomorrow morning after the flag viewing ceremony...''

Wu Fan shook her head, the girl didn't let go and continued: "We are a regular travel agency, this is my business card, if you want to go, just give me a call..."

Wu Fan took the business card and said helplessly: "Okay, if I want to go, I will contact you."

As soon as the girl left, a boy grabbed Wu Fan again: "Big brother, do you want an invoice?...

Wu Fan hurriedly broke free of the boy's hand: "I'm sorry, I don't have a job, and I won't be reimbursed by the unit if I ask for an invoice..."

Wu Fan walked through Tiananmen Square, bypassed the Monument to the People's Heroes, and just wanted to set foot on Chang'an Street, but was stopped by two aunts with red arm bands: "Stop, what do you want to do?"

Auntie's scolding startled Wu Fan, who was already thinly dressed and shivered in the cold wind, and when Auntie shouted, Wu Fan trembled even more, like a bad guy. Wu Fan said with some trembling: "I... I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to cross the street and see the Tiananmen Tower..."

The two aunts walked around Wu Fan one left and one right, one after the other, and found that Wu Fan did not look like a bad person, and his tone eased a lot, and one aunt said: "This is Chang'an Street, you can't cross the road, if you want to go there, there is an underpass" The aunt said and pointed to the side of the square.

Wu Fan hurriedly thanked his aunt and walked towards the underground passage, thinking: This Beijing is really surprised, no matter what you do, you are so enthusiastic...!!

Wu Fan came to the Tiananmen Tower, bought a sightseeing ticket to the tower, made up enough people, and finally climbed the coveted Tiananmen Tower under the explanation of the commentator.

Narrator: Tiananmen Square, located in the center of BJ City, the capital of the People's Republic of China, at the south end of the Forbidden City, and Tiananmen Square and the Monument to the People's Heroes, the Memorial Hall, the Great Hall of the People, and the National Museum of China across Chang'an Avenue, covers an area of 4,800 square meters, and has attracted the attention of the world with outstanding architectural art and special political status.

Tiananmen Square is the main gate of the imperial city of Beijing in the Ming and Qing dynasties, which was built in the fifteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1417), and was originally named "Chengtianmen", which means "inheriting the heavens and starting the fortune and receiving orders from the sky". The designer is the Ming Dynasty imperial architect Kuai Xiang. In the eighth year of Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty (1651), it was renamed Tiananmen Square.

Tiananmen Square is composed of the city platform and the city tower, the Sumeru seat of white marble, 60 vermilion pillars to the sky on the city tower, the ground is paved with gold bricks, one is as flat as a stone; the tall and colorful wall platform, there are two layers of heavy eaves on it, there are yellow glazed tiles, the house is divided into nine rooms in the east and west, five rooms in the north and south, and symbolizes the "Ninety-Five Honor" of the imperial power. There are a total of 36 vermilion rhombus doors on the north and south sides, the ceiling, the door arch and the beams are carved with traditional golden dragon paintings and auspicious patterns, and the hall is composed of a 450-kilogram octagonal palace lamp and 16 hexagonal palace lanterns weighing 350 kilograms each with a star-holding moon pattern. The carved floor-to-ceiling windows on the upper floor of Tiananmen Gate are exquisitely carved, and the golden dotted lines outlined on the vermilion tone are very atmospheric and extravagant. In the past, only the emperor could enter and exit from this area. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a portrait of Mao Zedong was hung above the central doorway, and on both sides were large slogans such as "Long live the People's Republic of China" and "Long live the great unity of the people of the world". After several repairs and rectifications, the tower was officially opened to the public in 1988......

Wu Fan saw this majestic and solemn Tiananmen Square, and his mood was still much better. Especially the eyes of the portrait of the old man on the city tower seemed to give Wu Fan some strength. A very strong vitality, the power of perseverance and courage to fight against fate from the heart, Wu Fan stared at the portrait of the old man for a long time, feeling that he was so small and unbearable under the gaze of the old man, and he was ashamed of the idea of suicide, Wu Fan asked himself over and over again in his heart: Why do I want to die, do I want to be free?... Just because that woman abandoned herself, did she commit suicide?... Parents gave themselves life, is it worth giving up like this?... No, never, I want to live well, I want to cheer up, and I must not let those who bear me look down on me......
