Chapter Eighty-Nine: Shock
To Liang Dong's surprise, they did not go to another area of the square, but boarded Tiananmen Square. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
At about half past four in the morning, he and Lin Luoshi came to the entrance of the Tiananmen City Wall, which was already controlled by the armed police as the exit of the national flag guard. If ordinary people approached, the armed police would politely ask them to leave.
The same was true for Liang Dong and Lin Luoshi, and soon after they got closer, an armed policeman came over. However, after Lin Luoshi took out a certificate, the armed police soldiers invited them to come over.
After registering documents, checking security, Liang Dong and the others entered Tiananmen Square under the leadership of an armed police lieutenant. Inside Tiananmen Square, the security density is higher. Almost every five meters, there will be a soldier of the armed police, and there are armed police patrolling other areas at all times to ensure that there are no problems during the flag-raising process.
Led by the lieutenant, the two climbed the Tiananmen City Wall, which is a special viewing point with rows of chairs in a specially divided area above the wall.
After climbing the city wall, Liang Dong was surprised to find that there was a pair of men and women snuggling not far from him, the two were dressed fashionably, with exquisite appearance and extraordinary temperament, and they knew at a glance that they were not ordinary people.
Under the gaze of many armed policemen, the two snuggled together as if no one was around, pointing at the crowd not far away, as if they were saying something.
After noticing that someone was approaching, he just glanced at Liang Dong and Lin Luoshi casually, nodded slightly, and lowered his head to chat again, but his voice was much softer.
After taking them to the city wall, the lieutenant did not leave, but stood aside and began to stand guard like the other armed police soldiers.
Liang Dong was a little unaccustomed at first, but Lin Luoshi was more comfortable, pulling Liang Dong to the city wall, leaning on him and looking at the scene not far away.
I have to say that this is indeed an excellent viewing point, with a wide line of sight, the entire Tiananmen Square is in full view, and the flagpole not far away, the Monument to the People's Heroes is clear. In order to ensure that everyone can see clearly, more than a dozen telescopes are also placed on the city wall, and Liang Dong can use them at any time.
Just when Liang Dong climbed the city wall, the tourists in the square also began to arrange to enter. Hundreds of armed police fighters gathered to maintain order, and under their maintenance, visitors from the three viewing points entered the square in an orderly manner.
They also need to go through security before entering the square, and there are no prohibited items on their bodies and bags, even chopsticks and forks, and they need to be taken out for re-inspection.
An hour later, after the security check was completed, the square was densely packed with figures, and the crowd was surging, like black waves. To Liang Dong's surprise, he couldn't hear too much noise.
Tens of thousands of people gathered together, as if the sound had been melted away, the front row sat peacefully on the ground, and the tourists in the back also stood quietly in place, no one spoke, and no one exchanged ears. Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes stared at the picture on the city wall, as if praying, more like a memorial.
To commemorate those who once shed their blood for the motherland, and to commemorate those revolutionary martyrs who were willing to sacrifice their lives for future generations. It is also to commemorate the devotees and guides who have fought for the rise of the motherland from generation to generation. It is their persistence for decades that has brought China to where it is today.
For a while, there was a layer of solemnity in the square, and no one dared to play in front of the martyrs. Even the young men and women on the city walls who whispered and laughed shut their mouths and felt the story of time and space.
At half past five in the morning, the viewing point is officially closed, and visitors who do not enter can only stand outside the square to watch. There were already tens of thousands of people inside the square, and they couldn't see anything when they stood outside the square, but no one left, and although they had regrets, they still stood in place, with their feet on their feet, trying to see as much as possible.
Not only them, but also the tourists behind, although they did not make it in, they still stood in place, looking at the tall flagpole not far away, the smiling middle-aged man in the photo of the city wall.
At six o'clock, when the first rays of sunlight reflected in the capital, the arched gate in the middle of the Tiananmen Gate downstairs opened from the inside, and a square team composed of 36 armed police soldiers walked out of Tiananmen Square. The other thirty-three people, with spears on their shoulders, appeared in front of them all with a uniform step.
The moment they appeared, everyone's spirits were shaken, and the flag-raising ceremony was finally about to begin.
Walking normally, let alone more than 30 people, even if seventy or eighty people gather together, it will not give people too strong a feeling. But the thirty-six people in front of him were different, they seemed to be a whole, each warrior was in unison, swinging his arms, raising his legs, and falling, and there was no noise in his footsteps, only a crisp 'thud thump......
There are only thirty-six people, but they exude a high-spirited momentum that tens of thousands of people dare not underestimate.
After 138 steps, the escort team walked in front of the flag-raising platform, the flag-bearer and the two flag-bearers walked to the flag-raising platform, put the national flag on the rope, as the passionate national anthem sounded, the flag-bearer threw off the national flag with all his might, and suddenly, a red flag as bright as blood appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
In the attention ceremony, in the expectation of countless people, in the blessing, the national flag is rising.
"Arise, ...... you who do not want to be slaves"
I don't know who was infected by this solemn atmosphere, but a song rang out in the crowd, and the song was always easy to infect others. The first voice sounded, then the second, then the ten, the hundred, the thousand, and finally, everyone sang a song.
Have you ever heard more than 100,000 people sing a song together? Have you ever heard hundreds of thousands of people, men, women, and children all singing a song hoarsely?
Liang Dong hadn't seen it before, so he was deeply shocked. More than 100,000 people, they come from all over the country, from different walks of life, however, they all carry the love of many countries and the sincerity of the motherland. Some people waited all night, some people waited for more than ten hours, and some people waited for hours for just a few minutes of chanting.
With the rise of China, more and more foreign organizations want to study the secret of China's rise, and they circle a few words, the most prominent of which is luck.
They feel that Huaguo can only have today because of luck. Lucky to catch up with a good time, maybe lucky to get alien technology, otherwise it doesn't explain why Huaguo was able to rise in just a few decades.
How can they know that Huaguo has never felt lucky, we are a country full of disasters and difficulties, when a hundred years ago, when the gate of Huaguo was opened by the great powers with cannons, even the dignity has been lost.
Are we despairing in humility, and being reborn in despair? Is it just luck?
No, this is not luck, but the national soul engraved in our hearts by countless martyrs, he keeps us in despair and never asks for extravagance, he makes us change the world with our own hands, he makes us hold our chests up even if we are trampled into the quagmire, he allows us to die fearlessly.
When we have nothing to fear from dying, what else can stop us from rising?
So, when we fall into darkness, there will emerge great men who hold the light of the fire, and they use the spark to gather all the fuel needed to take off.
Eventually, we will take off.
Our take-off is not lucky, let alone met a savior. It is the result of our 140,000,000 Chinese sons and daughters working together, uniting as one, paying blood and sweat without regrets.
As long as we don't admit defeat, as long as we don't give in, we will eventually rise.
Just like now, we can proudly declare to the world that we are a proud Chinese, and at this moment, we should be proud and shout as much as we want.
"Brave the enemy's artillery fire, advance! Brave the enemy's artillery fire, advance! Advance, advance, advance ......"
At two minutes and seven seconds, the flag rose to the top and danced in the breeze.
Looking at the red flag excitedly, tens of thousands of people seemed to have a heart in their hearts, facing the national flag, facing the middle-aged man who was smiling on the city wall, everyone raised their hands, as if proud, like catharsis, but also proof, shouts resounded all over the world.
"Long live China, China, People, People, Republic, and Country!"
"Long live the Chinese nation!"
The next moment, the golden light shines from the sky, the east is red, and the sun rises!
