The Lantern Festival celebration in Wanwan has always been very grand, in addition to the lantern viewing activities and the large-scale Wanwan Lantern Festival, Taipei Lantern Festival, Kaohsiung Lantern Festival Art Festival, the activities in various places are distinctive, commonly known as 'North Sky Lantern, South Bee Cannon, East Handan, West Begging Turtle'.
The North Sky Lantern is the sky lantern activity in Pingxi District, New Taipei City, Northern Taiwan, the South Bee Cannon is the famous 'Salt Water Bee Cannon' in Yanshui District, Tainan City, Southern Taiwan, and the East Hanshan is Taitung County in the east of Wanwan, where there is a blessing activity of blowing up the God of Wealth with firecrackers, 'Taitung Lantern Festival Fried Han Danye', and the West Begging Turtle is the Begging Turtle Prayer Ceremony in Penghu County. There are also celebrations in other places.
Hu Yinmeng told Rong Le about these customs, and after seeking Hu Yinmeng's advice, Rong Le took her to Pingxi District to participate in the celebration of the sky lantern.
When I came to Pingxi District, it was already crowded with people, and everyone was holding a sky lantern in their hands, waiting to be released later.
Rong Le and Hu Yinmeng strolled on the street, and Ah Niu and the others who followed them also held sky lanterns in their hands, preparing for the release of sky lanterns for a while.
Hu Yinmeng pointed to everyone and asked, "Brother Le, do you know what the sky lantern in their hands means?"
Rong Le smiled: "Isn't it just for praying for blessings?"
Hu Yinmeng: "It's not so simple, the pronunciation of the sky lantern in Wanwan language is similar to 'Tian Ding', in the past, the male was a symbol of labor and productivity, so if the average farmer wants to have a male Tian Ding in the family, they usually use the sky lantern to ask for good luck." To this day, the display of sky lanterns has symbolized the event of blessings and blessings, and this event is especially lively here. ”
Rong Le looked at Hu Yinmeng with a smile, "Then what wishes are you going to write on the sky lantern later?"
Hu Yinmeng glanced at Rong Le coquettishly and said, "I won't tell you!"
"Haha!"
Pingxi Village's sky lantern release activity has been passed down for hundreds of years, and now it has become an important event, naturally attracting many overseas tourists.
The streets are lined with not only tourists who come to take part in the sky lantern display, but also various food stalls, curry pork pastries, grilled sausages, tofu pudding, fried chicken and milk tea, and more.
Rong Le and Hu Yinmeng also stopped and went, tasting the exquisite snacks of Wanwan, Hu Yinmeng's face showed a happy smile, because it was the Lantern Festival, there were also many Lantern Festivals sold here.
"By the way, Brother Le, do you still remember the Chen Haiquan we met last time in Mong?" Hu Yinmeng suddenly asked.
Rong Le recalled for a moment and said with a smile: "It's your brainless fan, right?"
"What kind of brainless fan?" Hu Yinmeng glanced at Rong Le, "On the New Year, I saw him when I was shopping, and he seemed to be in the club, followed by a few bad boys." ”
"Hmph, I met it by chance, it's clear that the kid deliberately looked for a chance to meet you!" Rong Le scolded secretly in his heart, at that time, someone had been secretly following Hu Yinmeng, and naturally it was discovered by the bodyguards sent by Rong Le to protect Hu Yinmeng, and after investigation, he found out that it was the brainless fan that Hu Yinmeng had encountered in Mongmeng before.
Later, Hu Yinmeng's bodyguards investigated and learned that the kid had formed a princeling party with the son of a bigwig in the largest forces in Mong.
Relying on the power of the big guys, their small group gradually gained some of their own reputation in Jiaotou.
However, that kid only secretly followed Hu Yinmeng occasionally, and didn't do anything excessive, so Rong Le just asked the bodyguard to increase his attention.
"Yes, he was young and vigorous at that age, and he lived in a mixed place like Mong, and the mixed club was just going with the flow!" Rong Le did not tell Hu Yinmeng about Chen Haiquan.
"Well, it's just a pity, it's actually good to go to school at a young age, why do you have to mix in the club?" Hu Yinmeng said with some pity.
"Children like them have very few lifestyle options, so what can he do if he doesn't mix in the community? Since he was born, he has been exposed to the life of the community, whether it is his school or the environment around his family, he has no choice. Rong Le said.
Hu Yinmeng said: "But there are also some children who are out of the mud and not stained, they can rely on their diligence and studious to get out of that living environment!"
Rong Le: "But after all, there are only a few of them, and among the tens of thousands of students, it would be very good to have one or two, and most of them are people like Chen Haiquan." ”
Hu Yinmeng took a string of snacks and fell silent, Rong Le's words made her a little speechless.
This world is so unfair, some people are born in Yangmingshan, fine clothes and food, receive a good education, and become a master step by step, while some people are born to be busy for their three meals a day, not that they don't want to live a normal life, but their conditions do not allow, and life is the most important thing for them!
Those who tell you that all beings are equal and all things are fair are often people who stand and talk without backache, and what absolute fairness is there in this world.
The son of the richest man and the son of a beggar, how can they be equal, those sons and daughters who are sad and sad always say that their lives are unsatisfactory and want to live some normal lives, but when they really come into contact with the bottom life of this world, it is estimated that they can't hold on to even a day, and they will return to their original lives when they cry for their fathers and mothers.
Why would some woman say that she would rather cry in a BMW than laugh in the back of a bicycle, some people can say exaggeratedly, this woman loves vanity, but who really cares about her previous life?
People who are born to live are those who pursue a rich spiritual life, most of them are those who do not worry about material life.
I don't believe you let him try if he doesn't have enough food a day, you let him try it with the livelihood of his family.
Do you think that those who live at the bottom don't want a rich spiritual life? It's just that the burden of life weighs them down.
Hu Yinmeng has also experienced hardships, but her kind of hardship is already quite a good life compared to Mong's children, so she will say what Chen Haiquan is sorry for, but when Rong Le made it clear, because of his own life, Hu Yinmeng was able to quickly understand the meaning of Rong Le's words.
"Brother Le, your words are a little pessimistic!" Hu Yinmeng said in silence at the end.
Rong Le smiled, "This world is originally a miserable world, what can you do if you are pessimistic or not, even if you are pessimistic, the world will not stop turning because of your pessimism, so what we can do is to try to make ourselves laugh happily in this miserable world, even if these smiles are not real." ”
Hu Yinmeng grabbed Rong Le's hand, feeling as if she had never seen Rong Le like this, Rong Le was strange to her like this, and it also made her feel distressed.
It seemed that in that moment, she felt that Rong Le was out of place in this world.
