Chapter Forty-Eight: Talking about Juvenile Madness

Under the cordial care of Director Song, under the careful arrangement of Director Zhang, under the personal leadership of his father Fan Heng, and accompanied and guided by the staff of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, Fan Wuxian took a good walk around Yanjing City.

Yanjing City in seven or nine years, to be honest, there are not many places worth visiting, mainly because Fan Wuxi is only interested in things related to money, as for the Great Wall Forbidden City [***] or something, the political significance is greater than the actual value, so it can't attract his attention, it's all broken city walls and old houses, what's so good-looking? Two more glances can enhance national self-confidence? Can the Chinese nation take off? I'm afraid it's the tourism bureau's revenue that has taken off!

If you want to say that the most humiliating thing for Fan Wuxian is nothing else, it is the city wall known as the backbone, this northern Ping Domain, which Fan Wuxian regarded as weak and weak in foreign strategy, has been attacked again and again by the northern alien race for more than 2,000 years. Its existence is not so much to resist the invasion and harassment of foreign races in the north, but rather to be a concrete manifestation of sticking to the old ways and not thinking of making progress, and if there is no such wall, or our territory can be larger, the number of fraternal nationalities united under the banner of the Chinese nation will be greater.

Nowadays, reform and opening up have taken place, but it is not very easy to remove the Great Wall in people's hearts and break the influence of the outdated thinking of closing the country to the outside world. In fact, ten or twenty years is not a lot of time.

So, when Comrade Fan Wuxian stood on the city wall of Badaling and took in the scenery of the mountains, he couldn't help but be poetic, and opened his mouth to chant, "Ah-the Great Wall-"

Since Fan Heng heard that his son had written poems at the expert seminar, he paid close attention to Fan Wuxi's every move, wondering if his son was also like Fang Zhongyong, born to know, able to speak at the age of half a year, and a poem at the age of one? At this time, seeing that Fan Wuxian suddenly had the urge to compose poetry, he couldn't help but be very concerned, and looked forward to what deafening poems he could make.

Fan Wuxian did not disappoint his father either, and shouted loudly with passion, "You are so wide--you are so long--You are so majestic--You are so high-spirited--You make my heart so stirred-You make my emotions so arrogant--I have nothing to say when I stand in front of you--You are a wall--A wall made of stones-"

Hearing his son's words here, and seeing that passers-by were all looking extremely shocked, Fan Heng's heart was full of anger, and he really wanted to kick Fan Wuxian off the top of the city tower, just as if he had never given birth to this evil seed!

But Fan Wuxian still has a very strong interest in the Palace Museum, and the tour here also took him several days, so that Fan Heng was a little annoyed.

The Forbidden City is the largest and most complete ancient building complex in the world, and there were 24 emperors in the Ming and Qing dynasties who lived here for government and life. It has the world's largest, most complete and most exquisitely constructed ancient palace complex, with 1.5 million historical relics and art and craft treasures.

After the victory of the Xinhai Revolution, the Qing Dynasty announced its abdication, and the palace should have been nationalized, but according to the "Preferential Conditions of the Qing Dynasty" formulated by the Provisional Revolutionary Axe at that time, Emperor Puyi was allowed to temporarily live in the palace, that is, the back bed (inner court) at the back of the Forbidden City. At that time, the government decided to move the cultural relics of the Rehe Palace (i.e., Chengde Summer Resort) and the Shengjing (Shenyang) Forbidden City to the former (outer dynasty) part of the front half of the Forbidden City, and established the Antiquities Exhibition Center in 1914. Pu Yi lived in the palace, and has been plotting with the remnants of the Qing Dynasty to restore, and in the name of rewards, pawns, repairs, etc., a large number of cultural relics were stolen from the palace, which attracted serious attention from all walks of life. In 1924, Feng Yuxiang launched a coup d'état in Yanjing, organized a regency cabinet, revised the preferential conditions for the Qing imperial family, expelled Pu Yi from the palace, took over the Forbidden City, and established the "Committee for Handling the Aftermath of the Qing Dynasty", which was responsible for cleaning up the public and private property of the Qing royal family and dealing with all aftermath matters. After the completion of the event, the "Inventory Report of the Forbidden City" was compiled and published, with a total of more than 1.17 million cultural relics, including three dynasties of Dingyi, ancient jade, calligraphy and famous paintings of the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, Song and Yuan Dynasty ceramics, enamel, lacquerware, gold and silverware, bamboo, wood, tooth and horns, gold and bronze religious statues, and a large number of costumes, clothing and furniture of the emperor's concubines. It can be described as gold and jade, rare treasures, and the wealth of the world, all gathered here.

In addition, there are a large number of books and classics, literature and archives. To this end, the Palace Museum has set up an antiquities museum, a library, and an archive, which respectively organize manpower to continue to sort out the cultural relics, open exhibition rooms in the palace, hold various exhibitions, edit and publish a variety of publications, disclose information, and carry out publicity. The work has been carried out vividly, and the humanities are gathered and flourished.

If you look at the cultural relics of the Forbidden City one by one, the life of a poor person may not be enough, just these fine works on public display are enough to make people reminisce for a long time.

After three days of wandering around the Forbidden City, Fan Wuxian finally waited for the news that Director Song was looking for him.

"Looks like that's the thing." Fan Wuxi's intuition was that Director Song wanted to talk to him about the garment factory.

When he arrived at Director Song, he found that it was not only Director Song who was waiting for him, but also a few old men in military uniforms. Fan Wuxian looked at it carefully, these people are also sixty years old, just one glance, you can feel the momentum of the golden iron horse, Fan Wuxian thought to himself, this is probably the so-called Wang Ba's qi, it seems that their identities are worth scrutinizing!

Seeing that they are talking to Director Song very freely, it is obvious that there will not be too much difference in rank, but the military uniforms of this period are all the same, and there are no military rank marks, so I really can't recognize them as immortals on that road.

The scene was very big, but Fan Heng was not allowed to participate, Fan Wuxian muttered in his heart, do they still think that they are children and are better fooled? If so, you'd have miscalculated! Although Fan Wuxian is more interested in supporting national defense construction, if he is calculated and calculated, he will resolutely not do it.
