Chapter 458: Descendant of the Dragon (Part II) (Thanks)
In New York, USA, at nine o'clock in the morning, in a dark corner of the street of New York Times Square, the iconic grand square of this world-famous city, Old John grabbed the wine bottle that made him hungover all night with one hand, violently lifted the newspaper covering his face with the other, rubbed his sleepy eyes, rubbed his messy hair and beard, and finally sat up from the cool ground!
"What the hell, am I hallucinating in my ears? Is it a day off, and the damn people don't go to work?" complained Old John, grabbing his bottle and lifting his chin to take a few more sips, and then see if he could find some appetizers in the trash can on the corner to let himself continue with his drunken life. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He is not a standard wanderer, although he is poor, he can still receive at least a certain amount of relief every month, but his relief money is used to buy alcohol, so he has been accustomed to a life of using the sky as a quilt, the earth as a bed, and finding food from the garbage in recent years.
Today, if it is as usual, but it is the most ordinary day of all his street life, go to the nearest supermarket and buy a bottle that can be drunk for a day, or save some high-quality liquor that can be drunk for a few days, of course, and then pack out the leftovers from all the fast food restaurants as much as possible, and find cloudy wine and delicacies from them, of course, because this is the case all year round, some fast food guys or owners, once a customer eats leftovers, will help him pack them before he comes, and then wait for him to take them away.
This kind of life is like a dog waiting for its owner to raise, but for old John, it doesn't matter if he is a man or a dog in this life, since his only son died in battle a few years ago, he feels that such a day is the best for him, in fact, he can live better, he can receive a lot of pension, but he feels that this money has no meaning to him, it will only make him sad, it is not as good as such a drunken dream, so he never received the money.
Therefore, old John, who was drunk and dreamed of death, felt that this kind of day was really good, because he was afraid of being sober, as long as he could be drunk all the time, then it was better than anything else.
However, today was different, or he was not drunk until he woke up naturally, as usual, but was woken up by the sound of earth-shattering shouts and cheers in his ears! This was definitely an abnormal awakening for him, so old John was full of resentment.
"Damn! Do I really not have to go to work today? And if no one goes to work, where am I going to buy alcohol? Damn it, why is it so noisy, why is it so noisy! Is it a hallucination? Is it an illusion?"
Old John grabbed the empty wine bottle and walked to the nearest merchant with three points of drunkenness and seven points of sobriety, but the more he walked, the more shocked the expression on his face became, and at the same time his mind became more and more sober!
I realized that none of this was an illusion, but something unimaginable was actually happening.
On weekdays, there are nearly 40 shopping malls and theaters in the vicinity of Times Square, making it a thriving entertainment and shopping center. Broadway theaters, a plethora of dazzling neon tube commercials, and television-style billboards have become symbols of New York and reflect Manhattan's strong urban character. Approaching Times Square is enough to shock everyone's eyes, surrounded by colorful neon lights and street performers, and the big screen of news, songs, music videos, and TV shows is always playing. And Times Square is the only area in New York City that has a planning statute that requires property owners to hang a bright billboard.
All these are the most important symbols of the famous grand square, where the commercial and financial atmosphere of advertising and high-tech artistic means are perfectly combined. Today, however, all this seems to have weakened all at once in Old John's increasingly sober eyes!
And the most conspicuous thing is that the square is full of Chinese, foreigners, and more Chinese who stop and look up! And the same picture flashing on all the big screens in the entire square, and the same Chinese song that although I can't understand it, but it is very shocking when I listen to it!
Oh my God! These people, especially these Chinese who have been living in New York, are they all crazy at this moment?
Because in the eyes of Old John, these Chinese, and even a large number of Chinese and other foreigners, first stood straight like a pilgrimage and sang such a song collectively with the huge sound of the surrounding TV screens, but then the style of music changed, and suddenly accelerated a few beats!
But it is still the same song, but according to the lyrics of the simultaneous interpretation on the big screen, John Sr. only found that some of the lyrics seemed to have changed, but from the war of the past, people were suddenly pulled back to the present full of vitality and hope!
There is a river in the far east
Its name is the Yangtze River
There is a river in the far east
Its name is the Yellow River
There was a dragon in the ancient East
Its name is China
There was a group of people in the ancient East
They are all descendants of the dragon
I grew under the dragon's feet
When he grows up, he is the descendant of the dragon
Black eyes, black hair, yellow skin
Forever and forever is the descendant of the dragon
There is a river in the far east
Its name is the Yangtze River
There is a river in the far east
Its name is the Yellow River
Its name is the Yellow River
Although I have never seen the beauty of the Yangtze River
In my dreams, I often swim in the Yangtze River
Although I have never heard of the Yellow River
Surging in dreams
There was a dragon in the ancient East
Its name is China
There was a group of people in the ancient East
They are all descendants of the dragon
They are all descendants of the dragon
They are all of them

A quiet night many years ago
Our family went to New York
The wildfire burns inexhaustibly
I miss home every night and every day
I grew up on someone else's land
When he grows up, he is the descendant of the dragon
Dragon, dragon, you keep your eyes open
Forever and ever
Dragon, dragon, you keep your eyes open
Forever and ever
Dragon, dragon, you keep your eyes open
Forever and ever.......
Then Old John suddenly understood why people, especially those Chinese living in the United States, were so excited at this time!
I grew up on someone else's land
When he grows up, he is the descendant of the dragon
......
For China's understanding, Old John knows the meaning of the dragon totem to the Chinese, of course, this is not all, because when he saw the magical oriental boy who was singing and dancing this song on the big screen at this time, he suddenly burst into tears!
Not for anything else, because he also knew this oriental guy, and he knew that his name was Li Youyang...... (To be continued.) )
