331. Anzac Day
Although Emperor Wu did not have much identification with Australia, he was still infected by this strong atmosphere, and his dreams were related to commemorations.
Kabi said she just treated the day as a holiday, and followed the excitement.
The most excited of the South Australian cowboys is undoubtedly Tex, a veteran who fought in the so-called just war with his country.
Although Turks does not now consider the Iraq war just, he does not regret that he fought there.
Turks holds a Parliamentary Medal of Valor, the crowning honour for Australian soldiers, and fewer than 100 people have received this honour to date.
As a former member of the Airborne Special Service Corps and the squad leader of the troops in the city of Baghdad, Turks participated in the military parade as a modern war group and received applause from the people of the whole country.
"Get up girls, go to the square!"
As soon as it was five o'clock, Emperor Wu went to knock on their door, one of the biggest festivals in Australia of the year, it would be a pity not to see it, not to mention that this year is the 100th anniversary of the establishment of "Anzac Day", and the commemorative activities will be more grand, especially in major cities like Sini.
Another city that is more interested in this is Darwin, which was the only Australian city to suffer from artillery fire during the two world wars.
The port of Darwin, located in the north, was bombed a total of 63 times by the fascists.
"What! It's not six o'clock!" came the old lady's reprimand from the room.
Emperor Wu thought that the old lady's reaction was normal, but the little lady's reaction was not normal.
This is Australia, the place where she was born and raised, and today's day is comparable to the American celebration, why can't you go out to take a look?
Emperor Wu couldn't break in and pull the two up, there was no way, he watched the live news in the living room after he finished washing.
The morning prayer service in Martin Square began an hour and a half ago, and the people spontaneously gathered in the square, where flowers were placed to mourn the fallen soldiers of a hundred years ago.
After about twenty minutes, the two girls came out lazily, and it seemed that it would take at least an hour for them to wash up and put on their makeup.
Kaibi was originally very diligent, but she was lazy by the beautiful chairman, and the old lady's ability to influence people is extraordinary.
As a result, the two of them washed up surprisingly fast, and it didn't take long for them to get ready to go, and they urged Emperor Wu to hurry up.
Emperor Wu was helpless, he didn't understand women at all.
Arriving at Martin Square, it was good to catch the tail end of the morning prayer event, where an official from the town hall was giving a speech.
The three of them stood on the periphery of the crowd, squeezing forward when there was a slot, and the people inside applied very seriously, regardless of men, women, and children.
I didn't drive when I got out of the hotel, and there is basically nowhere to park in this situation today.
The police and plainclothes on the street, on the way just now, a plainclothes pretending to be a crowd was cheering with the crowd, and accidentally fell out of his police badge, and fell at the feet of Emperor Wu, which made Emperor Wu's heart tremble, but fortunately it was not the IS employee ID card that fell out.
"Look there!" huddled in the crowd, Kaibi tugged at the corner of Emperor Wu's clothes.
"What?" Emperor Wu followed her eyes and forgot about the past.
"Nothing?" Emperor Wu was sure that he was not dazzled, and the location that Kaibi was referring to was a building, and there was nothing else.
Martin Place is the heart of Sini and is home to the Commonwealth Bank of Australia as well as the Sini General Post Office and the TV Seven news studio.
The TV station is convenient, you don't have to go downstairs, you can shoot the live broadcast by sticking the long lens out of the window.
Kaibi was in a hurry, and his small fist kept beating Emperor Wu's back, "There!"
Emperor Wu looked at her outstretched index finger, and an old man walked over surrounded by a group of people, looking like a big official, and there were several bodyguards around him who kept a distance.
"What's wrong? Your relatives? Your relatives still have relatives who are officials in the city hall? Then hurry up and get rid of the land in the relationship." Emperor Wu whispered a joke to Kaibi.
As the old man approached, the crowd began to cheer, and the applause seemed to be no small thing.
At this time, hundreds of people gathered inside and outside Martin Square, not chaotic at all, orderly, and everyone fought in countless circles around the war memorial.
Closer, Emperor Wu suddenly found that the old man was Zhang Huaren's face.
"Sister!"
"Huh?"
"Turn around and let me see!"
Wu Ling didn't know what her brother was going to do.
Emperor Wu glanced at the old sister, and then at the old man, who was indeed a Chinese face.
"Who is he?" asked Emperor Wu.
"Zeng Xiaolong!"
"What identity?"
"Vice Mayor Sini!"
I'm obedient, this Chinese old man is the deputy mayor of Siney, the immigration country is really open, as long as you are good enough, anyone can be a big official here.
Uncle Tsang currently wears many hats and is also a member of the House of Lords of NSW. According to the little lady, his prestige in the hearts of the citizens of Sini is very high.
But recently he has encountered a bottleneck, because the Chinese bigwigs have speculated on the housing prices of Cini, so that Australians of good age can not buy houses, which indirectly promotes the non-marriage movement of young Australians, and even cohabitation and non-marriage.
Emperor Wu suddenly thought of him and Kaibi, and quickly settled down, and the relationship heated up sharply, it was already me with you and you with me, and Kaibi also had the idea of getting married, and now is a good time to get married.
"What's the matter, let's go!" Lao Cai scolded Emperor Wu.
Emperor Wu came back to his senses, just now imagining what the little lady would look like in a wedding dress.
At this time, on Martin Plaza, the morning prayer activity ended, and the next thing was the anniversary speech of Vice Mayor Zeng.
As the crowd gathered on one side of the square, a passage nearly ten meters wide flashed on the west side for the citizens who did not want to listen to him.
Today, not all people are willing to participate in various commemorative events, and there are also citizens who come out to make soy sauce and foreign tourists who do not know the truth.
Uncle Zeng's opening speech said that as an Australian, he paid high respect to the soldiers who died on the Aegean coast of Turkey a hundred years ago.
Emperor Wu couldn't help but wonder, as a Chinese, did Uncle Zeng have a sense of identity with this continent?
I checked his information just now, he fled from Jiangxi to Hong Kong with his parents at the age of six, and went to Australia to study alone at the age of 19, and began a long "Australian life".
His father had fought during the war years, and at the time of the Gallipoli War, his father was probably not even born.
In short, it makes Emperor Wu feel very delicate. How much does the immigrant population of the country identify with the country?
At least Emperor Wu can now be said to be almost nothing, even if he becomes a permanent resident of Australia, he still thinks that he is Chinese in his heart, and I am afraid that he will not consider himself an Australian in this life.
Vice Mayor Zeng Xiaolong gave a passionate speech on the makeshift podium, he was an outstanding speaker, very capable of inciting the emotions of the masses, and after a while, several onlookers were moved to tears.
Emperor Wu remembered that in his sophomore year, he ran to the capital to watch the flag-raising scene, and his tears flowed almost from the beginning to the end, and the solemnity made him unforgettable.
At that moment he felt connected to the country, a part of it, and a willingness to accompany it even if it had many shortcomings.
