Seven twists and then eight turns, a three-story brick building hidden in the greenery appeared in front of me.

The white wall and red tile central axis are symmetrical, and the triangular gable in the middle is on the top of the slope, which looks dignified and solemn, like a memorial hall, a library and other memorial buildings.

After stopping to take a look, Liu Haiyang couldn't help but be amazed: "Heh, this building seems to be more than a hundred years old, right?"

Without anyone else answering, he picked up his mobile phone and scanned it casually, and saw the answer, "Hey, this Salvation Hospital building was built in 1898, and it just turned 119 last month, and the Wehermina Hospital building over there is a little younger, 112 years, which is really old enough." It's been fine for so long, and sure enough, the quality of the building materials from the last century is good!"

"Where are so many strange words?" Atletico rolled his eyes, "The old house is strong because everything that can be collapsed has been collapsed, and the rest will naturally have a long life." When it comes to material strength and structural design, how can the technology of a hundred years ago be compared with today?"

As the so-called husband sings and wives follow, Atletico Madrid spoke here, and Tang Jiayi also followed up with the knife: "There is another point, that is, the house needs to be maintained and repaired, water leakage, cracks, settlement and other problems are detected and dealt with early, damaged and rusted early demolition and early replacement, in order to be maintained, the old houses that have survived are managed and maintained, and those that are less repaired basically have signs of collapse, unless it is the ancient Egyptian pyramids and the ancient Mayan pyramids." ”

The two of them grabbed the white, Liu Haiyang was not a way at all, turned his head to look at Zhao Ke, who was about to speak, and nodded: "This is also true." What do you want, Keke?"

"Uh," Zhao Ke swallowed the crispy building that he wanted to exit into his stomach, his mind raced, and he immediately changed the question: "Isn't this the site of the Salvation Hospital?

Looking down at his phone, Lao Liu helplessly spread his hands, "There is no AR map." Atletico, your product is terrible, isn't it?"

Atletico shook his head and picked up the topic: "Cross-application jump is being done, and if you encounter this situation in the future, you will jump to the encyclopedia by clicking on the name." ”

Turning his head, he introduced, "Wehermina is the surname of the Queen of the Netherlands. The hospital's founder, Dr. John Yu, is a Dutch-American who designed and built the hospital building himself with donations from the United States. However, at that time, it was still the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, and the social atmosphere was still very conservative, and female patients were more taboo about male doctors and male patients. So John raised a sum of money from Queen Wehemina of the Netherlands and built the building next to it, called Wehemina Hospital, which is considered a team with two brands. ”

In 1888 (the 14th year of Guangxu), 27-year-old John Abraham Otte, a 27-year-old medical doctor, and his wife came to Lu to practice medicine and preach. He first founded the Salvation Hospital in Xiaoxi Town, Pinghe County, and treated a large number of patients. Because of the remarkable results of his work, he returned to China to report on his work and was ordained a pastor in the American Reformed Church, and then raised a large amount of money to return and move the Salvation Hospital to its current location. He also worked in civil engineering and designed the hospital building in front of him.

In addition to the Salvation Hospital complex, John Yu was also the designer of the Bagua Tower, a landmark building on Qindao, but before the building with its conspicuous red dome was finally completed, he died of illness due to contact with patients during the plague epidemic in 1910, and was buried in the Qindao missionary cemetery.

"So that's the case!" Zhao Ke nodded, his eyes shining, "I didn't expect that there was a donation from the Queen of the Netherlands, and the missionaries weren't all bad guys." ”

"Most missionaries are moral and dedicated, and they get along well as long as they don't involve heretics, heretics, and non-humans. There are not all kinds of bad guys who cause problems, and sometimes there are many, after all, even the Holy See has scandals, but some outstanding missionaries are still very respectable. Although they want to spread the glory of the Lord, in fact, they also play a role in promoting cultural exchange and diffusion of science and technology. Matteo Ricci's translation of works for a few days, John Tong's dissemination of cannon casting technology, Lang Shining's introduction of Western painting, Qian Deming's study of Eastern and Western poetry and music, and John Yu's pioneering of Western medicine education in southern Fujian are all typical examples of historical fame. ”

"The first few people in front of them are all big people who have entered the Forbidden City, Lang Shining has painted a portrait of Kang Qianyong, and the missionary effect is not as good as John Yu's treatment and rescue in Xiaoxi Town. Although they use Western medicine to cure diseases and save people, rather than 'healing techniques' and holy water, they save lives and disseminate technology in a real way. ”

"Sorry, that's a lot," Atletico shook his head, stopping the conversation. None of the four of them are believers, but it seems too frivolous to talk about a "Bethune-like priest" in such a tone.

Looking up, Atletico took the lead and strode forward.

The entrance to the museum is to the north, and they have to go around half a circle to get there.

Tang Jiayi and the assistants quickly followed, but Liu Haiyang was a few steps behind, grabbed Zhao Ke and asked in a low voice: "Keke, you didn't come here often before, you are a Qindao Tong and you want me to be a tour guide, why haven't you been here?"

Zhao Ke was slightly embarrassed, and explained in a low voice: "I usually take on some online tour guide work occasionally, and then take some female tourists from other places to visit the island." We mainly go to the beach, Bagua Building, Shuzhuang Garden and snack street and other well-known attractions, and they are too far away from other places. Although it is very close to the tourist pier and you can see it as soon as you go ashore, you have never come here, after all, there are no famous attractions. ”

Lao Liu smiled, and seemed to accept the other party's explanation, "Then you must take a good look at it later, the Foreign Cultural Relics Museum will definitely become a new popular attraction in the future." ”

The girl shook her head slightly, "I see that most people go to the Forbidden City, just for the palace." 70% of the audience only walked the central axis, Taihe Palace, Zhonghe Palace, Baohe Palace, Jiaotai Palace, Qianqing Palace, Kunning Palace, three palaces and three palaces were finished, few people cared about what cultural relics were exhibited, and the significance of the specific shape. Most of the millions of cultural relics in the Forbidden City were not seen and were afraid of losing them, so they had to be locked in the warehouse. These cultural relics could not find a display opportunity in the Forbidden City and had to be exhibited outside, and it is really doubtful how much attraction can be left without that environment. ”

"And this is the hospital, who would run to visit the hospital if they have nothing to do? Aren't they afraid of being haunted?"

"Ha! So Keke, you're still afraid of ghosts?"

"Who am I afraid of?" Zhao Ke asked stiffly, but he no longer dwelled on this question, and paused and said: "Besides, Qindao is famous for architectural art and piano music, and there is a trace of literary youth when you come here, and you are not very interested in the royal palace and the hospital, unless you ...... it."

"Unless what?"

"Unless it's an artifact used by European royalty. No matter how the official propaganda is, Qindao's core competitiveness is such a hint of foreign flavor, the foreign goods used by Daoguang and Guangxu, how can there be European royal family used things that have European atmosphere, can hook people?"

"Keke?"

"What's wrong?"

"Don't you see the palace drama clearly? Bubu and Zhen Huan, haven't you seen them?"

"Well," Zhao Ke nodded, "Except for when I was a child, I didn't understand anything, and I followed my family to watch Huanzhu, I haven't watched any other Qing court dramas, which is not appetizing." ”

"I see," Liu Haiyang nodded clearly, understanding the crux of the matter, the girl made the mistake of treating others with herself, and the female young tourists she contacted did not represent all tourists.

"Hey, millions of people come to the island every year, and there are always people who are interested in the watches worn by the emperor and the Western knives and forks he used. And, don't forget, public museums are public welfare undertakings, fully funded by the treasury, not for the purpose of making money. There are also many private museums like this, such as the Western medicine museum we passed by just now, and Atletico Madrid didn't expect to make money. It's good to have someone to see it, but it doesn't matter if there is no one, as long as it can add to the 'Museum Island'. ”

The Western Medicine Museum in his mouth is a medical-themed museum set up on the site of the former Hongning Hospital with personal investment by Atletico Madrid, which mainly shows the rapid development of Western medicine and Western medicine in the past 200 years, or the "black history" of early Western medicine.

Before the establishment of blood circulation theory, bacteriological theory and other scientific theories, European medical skills, especially surgical techniques, were actually very crude and bloody, with foot pain, chopping feet, broken hands, and headaches that could only be prescribed with one dose of opioid. However, Western medicine has come out step by step with the crutch of science and technology, while traditional Chinese medicine has encountered modernization problems and has since begun to decline.

In fact, from the historical source, the site of the Salvation Hospital, known as the first general hospital in Qindao, and even the former site of the Salvation Hospital of the "Southern Fujian Western Medicine Whampoa Military Academy" is the most suitable place, but it is a pity that the Forbidden City took the lead and signed a cooperation agreement with the Ludao Bureau of Culture and Broadcasting as early as three years ago. Atletico had no choice but to contact the Qindao Management Committee to rent the site of Hongning Hospital at No. 44 Guxin Road and transform it into a museum of Western medicine.

Hongning Hospital and Salvation Hospital have some origins, and his founder, Xi Hongen, once worked at the same hospital, which was originally his private practice. Later, Xi Hongen left Qindao, and Hongning Hospital was unable to succeed and was annexed by Salvation Hospital, and then it was taken over by local doctors to establish Qindao Private Hospital.

The location of the former Hongning Hospital is closer to the middle of the island, surrounded by scenic spots and commercial facilities, although the flow of people is not as good as the official attractions, but relying on the free admission and the sign of "Atletico Private Investment", it still attracts many tourists, and the actual situation is not as miserable as Liu Haiyang's.

"What Museum Island, Hotel Island is real!"

Not only Qindao, but also well-known communities where tourists gather, such as Lijiang Old Town and Zhouzhuang Ancient Town, have a large number of hotels, inns and homestays, which are much higher than the proportion of normal communities. While it is convenient for foreign tourists, it is also gradually crowding out the living space of small community stores such as grocery stores, laundry stores, clothing stores, hardware stores, etc., which in turn brings about the distortion of community ecology and causes many problems.

Lao Liu smiled and hugged her waist, "Hehe, the sky and the earth are big, the food and accommodation are the largest, there are not so many hotels and restaurants, the scenic spot will not be able to open directly! There are too many or something, let the scenic spot management committee worry about it!"

Seeing that the two of them had caught up again, Atletico laughed and quipped: "What are you two doing here? This little time doesn't seem to be enough, right?"

"Can you pay attention to your image?" Liu Haiyang glared at him, "Keke pulled me to gossip a little, where do you think?"

Atletico didn't say anything, turned around with shaking his shoulders, and strode towards the gate of the courtyard.

After checking the tickets, a group of people walked into the museum building.

Since it has not yet officially opened, it is still in a state where there are more employees than spectators. Fortunately, the docents and security guards here are very qualified, and they are relatively old, and they are not excited to come up to ask for autographs when they see Atletico Madrid and others, at most they move their eyes to watch from afar, which is not too embarrassing.

The first thing you see when you enter the door is the "treasure of the town hall" copper-plated elephant camel flower clock placed in the glass cabinet in the middle of the hall.

This two-meter-tall multi-layered bell is made in England and has a typical tower-like shape, with three layers of decoration on the upper and lower levels, making it extremely ornate and intricate in gold. The group bell box on the ground floor is arranged in a rocky landscape, decorated with lizards, snakes, cranes, and a river cruise in the middle, and soldiers, commanders, maids, and elephants stand on the viewing platform on the middle floor, carrying a four-cornered copper-plated flower stand, and the top layer is connected to the rotating flower movement. There are five sets of movements in the whole set of table clocks, which are fully turned on, accompanied by eight notes below, the elephant trunk swings in the middle, the soldiers rotate and lookout, and the treasure star flower at the top slowly rotates, and the lively Indian style comes to the face.

It is worth mentioning that the bell was actually damaged a long time ago, and it was later restored to its function and appearance after the skillful restoration of cultural relics experts.

After lying in front of the glass and looking at it for a long time, Lao Liu straightened his waist, pointed to the two characters wearing turbans and said, "This and this, why are there still two Ah San?"

Atletico Madrid was scanning the big guy with his eyes, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words: "India is the crown jewel on the head of the Queen of England, and it is normal for a few Indians to appear." ”

"That's right, but isn't this a tribute bought by Manchu officials to the emperor on the introduction board, what do you do with two Ah San? Put two horses around the elephant, change the front to the tiger clothes and rattan soldiers, and the maid is also changed to a maid wearing a cheongsam and combing two heads, and then engrave some couplets such as longevity and boundless fortune and the four seas, so that it tastes right!"

"Maybe the time is tight, I can only go to the market to buy spot, and I don't have time to customize the lettering," Atletico replied casually: "Moreover, with the style of painting of tiger clothes and rattan soldiers, aren't you afraid of laughing on this?"

The rattan soldier is the elite hand-to-hand combat arm in the Manchu army, wearing a yellow background and black tiger clothes, wearing a tiger hat, holding a single knife and a rattan card painted with a tiger head pattern, when encountering the enemy, the rattan card blocks arrows and anti-lead bullets, and the knife cuts the horse's legs and cavalry, it is very majestic for a while, until the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom period is still active on the battlefield.

Because of the real characteristics of the shape, the rattan soldiers attracted great attention from crooked nuts, leaving many paintings, which were then unearthed and circulated on the Internet. Because of the "distortion" in the painting process, the tiger clothes in the oil painting look naïve and innocent, and feel like a tiger puppet costume lacking a tail, resulting in no screenwriter and director willing to introduce it into their own film and television dramas, and can only be silently spread on the Internet.
