"St. John's Cathedral is the oldest Catholic church in the Far East and the first place where the Gospel of God appeared. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info I've wanted to come and pay my respects for a long time, but I've never had the opportunity. Junghyuk, thank you. ”

In the secluded Cathedral of St. John's, Kim Tae-hee is in high spirits, and his bright eyes are greedy to admire the surrounding buildings.

Park Jung-hyuk doesn't have as much affection as her, just watching casually, but he doesn't have a high opinion of this place.

St. John's Cathedral is nothing more than the oldest ecclesiastical building in the Far East, and there is not much to praise in terms of architectural style, artistic value and human history.

The main thing is that this guy is an atheist and has no thoughts about Catholicism.

Looking at the milky white building in front of him, Park Jung-hyuk sighed.

"It's a pity that the style of Gothic architecture is imitated here. If it is purely early Baroque, the artistic value will be higher. ”

Kim Tae-hee gave him a blank look and found himself playing the piano to the cow.

"Please, we're talking about what this church means to Catholicism in the East, not its architectural style."

Park Jung-hyuk raised his hand in surrender and stopped debating with Kim Tae-hee.

Today is her birthday, and she's the oldest.

If you make her unhappy about religious things, it will be more than worth the loss.

It's not a Sunday, it's not a day off, so there aren't many tourists here.

Park Jung-hyuk and Kim Tae-hee did not pretend, they just walked through the church so easily, but they also forgot the busyness and fatigue of work.

There were only two of them here today, so they were quickly noticed by the priest here.

"Hello and welcome to St. John's Church. If you have any history that you need to know, you can ask me. ”

The pastor who spoke was about fifty years old, and his expression was kind and his tone was soothing, which made people feel good.

Park Jung-hyuk has no religious beliefs, and certainly has nothing to be curious about.

However, he faithfully translated the pastor's words to Kim Tae-hee.

Kim Tae-hee was in a trance and looked at Park Jung-hyuk in disbelief.

"I said, when did you learn Chinese?"

Being able to show his abilities in front of Kim Tae-hee, Park Jung-hyuk should not be too happy. Raising his eyebrows, he said proudly: "Just learn casually, and then you will." ”

Kim Tae-hee pursed his lips and scoffed at his dishonesty.

"Hmph, I'll ask you later."

In her mind, it was more important to know the history of St. John's Church.

"Pastor, can you tell me about the origin of this church?"

Someone was interested in Catholicism, and the pastor was of course very happy and immediately threw himself into the enthusiastic explanation.

It turned out that St. John's Cathedral was built in 1841 by the British Rev. Philip.

In the beginning, the chapel was only a wooden building.

It wasn't until three years later that the Rev. Staunton advocated for a permanent chapel, which was supported by the then Governor Davis.

The church was built in 1847 and completed in 1849.

The priest was a good tour guide, explaining and showing the two of them around.

Pointing to a monument in front of the main entrance, he said: "This was built to commemorate the martyrs of the First World War." ”

As he spoke, Kim Tae-hee lowered his head and muttered words in his mouth, while his right hand kept drawing a cross on his forehead.

Seeing Kim Tae-hee so pious, the pastor was very pleased.

But when he saw Park Jung-hyuk standing stupidly, the corners of his eyes were crooked.

This guy has no mercy, as if he really is just a translator.

The pastor was very unwilling, and pointed to the tombstone lying flat next to him and said: "This is the tombstone of Maxwell soldiers, which is used to commemorate the soldiers who died in front of the church in the defense of Hong Kong. ”

Kim Tae-hee repeated the prayer ritual as he had just done.

But Park Jung-hyuk just pouted, and there was no expression of sadness at all.

No way, in my previous life, when I was blowing water with netizens on the Internet forum, in World War II, the performance of the British army in Southeast Asia was really unsightly.

The kind of army that has no spirit of resistance and surrenders before much fighting, but there is no way to make him respect.

Seeing that Park Jung-hyuk did not have the slightest respect for the heroic spirit, the pastor was about to go berserk.

With a roll of his eyes, he led the two of them to the north wall again.

He then triumphantly pointed to a monument and emphatically said: "This monument was erected in memory of a true warrior who gave his young life for the democracy and liberation of mankind." ”

The pastor originally thought that what he said was solemn and generous, and Park Jung-hyuk would definitely be suppressed.

After Park Jung-hyuk read the English on the stone tablet, his face changed greatly, and he immediately pulled Kim Tae-hee to the outside of the church.

"Nuna, let's go, this kind of place that hides dirt and dirt is too much to see."

Kim Tae-hee's prayer was only halfway through, but he was dragged and staggered. It wasn't until she reached the outside of the church that she managed to stabilize her figure.

"Junghyuk, what the hell are you doing? The pastor kindly explained, why are you so excited? I know you don't believe in God, but you can't do such a blasphemous thing, can you? ”

She didn't know the specific reason, but she thought that Park Jung-hyuk was impatient to listen to the spread of Catholicism, so she made such an arrogant behavior.

But Park Jung-hyuk didn't let her this time, and his face was very serious.

"Nuna, do you know who that disgusting priest is, the last Captain William introduced?"

"Huh? Is there anything wrong with that person? ”

Kim Tae-hee is not stupid, seeing Park Jung-hyuk's angry look and his conclusive appearance, he finally knows that the problem is not with religious beliefs.

Park Jung-hyuk looked at the church in front of him with annoyance, and gritted his teeth: "That Captain William died in 1857 under the city of Gwangju. And at that time, it was the time when the British and French forces launched the Second Opium War against China. That is, that Captain William was not a warrior at all, but a naked aggressor. ”

Listening to Park Jung-hyuk's speech, Kim Tae-hee covered his mouth in surprise.

She is a South Korean, and of course she does not know much about Chinese history. But between Park Jung-hyuk and the pastor, she certainly believed in the former.

Afterwards, Kim Tae-hee felt a wave of fear.

If the image of himself praying to the invaders was seen and spread, wouldn't it offend all Chinese fans at once?

After figuring it out, the beauty was also angry.

"Hmph, really. Good Catholic Church, why do such a thing? ”

A good tutor makes her unable to say ugly words even in the atmosphere.

But even so, it is enough to show how angry she is.

Compared with her, Park Jung-hyuk's anger went down quickly.

Because he knows that in a few years, all kinds of messy things will come out.

Such an inconspicuous corner, no one even noticed.

"Forget it, Nuna, religion is already mixed, and there is everything. I have no objection to your admiration for God's fraternity, but you should be careful in the future. ”

With that, Park Jung-hyuk pulled Kim Tae-hee, and the two got back into the car and left this unpleasant visit.

The car sped along the seaside road, and the blue water and clear sky quickly made the two of them feel good.

Kim Tae-hee asked curiously, "By the way, why do you have no religious beliefs?" ”

While speaking, the eyes of the great beauty were full of eagerness, and it seemed that she wanted to develop Park Jung-hyuk into a Catholic.

In its thousands of years of history, Korea has been heavily influenced by Confucian culture.

But in modern times, Catholicism occupies a place that cannot be ignored in the history of this country.

In the process of resisting the Japanese invasion, countless Catholics came forward, paid great sacrifices, and achieved great results.

Yasushigene, who assassinated Hirobumi Ito, was also a devout Catholic.

Therefore, after the founding of Korea, the status of Catholicism was extremely high, even surpassing that of Europe and the United States.

In the Gwangju Incident and other political activities that followed, the Catholic Church also played a leading role in the democratization of Korea.

So much so that now, whoever wants to run for president must win the support of the Catholic Church.

This is a large ticket base, and it is a front that cannot be ignored.

Kim Tae-hee's family has been Catholic for generations, so he thought that if Park Jung-hyuk could be developed into a believer, there would be much fewer obstacles between the two.

However, Park Jung-hyuk was deeply baptized by proletarian thought and was an out-and-out atheist.

Even with Kim Tae-hee's ardent expectations, he couldn't do anything good about religion.

"Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement. There has never been a savior in this world, and if you want to live happily, you can only create it with your own hands. God didn't give me any hope or good, and now everything is bought by my own efforts. ”

Kim Tae-hee rolled his eyes, "Believing in God is not to make you pin all your hopes for life on the gods, but to hope that the gospel of God can cleanse your heart and complete the purification of your mind." ”

Hearing her explanation, Park Jung-hyuk nodded approvingly.

This kind of thinking is the truest reflection on a religion.

Unlike some people who believe in religion, the result is to an extreme extent, which can be described as terrible and terrifying.

But even so, he had no idea about Catholicism.

"Even if I don't listen to God's welfare, I'm not a bad person. Otherwise, would Nuna still be willing to approach me? ”

Yes, Kim Tae-hee realized that what he just said was in vain.

This stinky guy is simply stubborn.

If we continue to do this, what will we do in the future?

As long as he thinks about the environment he is in, Kim Tae-hee feels that his brain hurts and his heart is numb.

Her family, her relatives and friends, were almost all Catholics.

In such an environment, the common topic in her circle is basically within the realm of Catholicism.

If Park Jung-hyuk didn't have a good impression of Catholicism, there would be hardships in the future.

Park Jung-hyuk didn't think of it so much, but drove Kim Tae-hee in the car, humming songs all the way, and went to Lantau Island.

Speaking of Lantau Island, the most famous is of course the Big Buddha at the top of Muk Yu Peak.

This is the world's largest open-air bronze Buddha statue and one of the landmarks of Hong Kong.

Countless tourists visit here every year, making it a must-see.

Park Jung-hyuk does not believe in Catholicism, and naturally does not believe in Buddhism.

He chose this place just as a normal play.

I've just seen the Baroque buildings mixed with the Gothic style, and now it's time to enjoy the oriental aesthetics.

As a PD, even if you go out to play, you should also focus on learning more culture.

You may be able to use it when you record a show.

After being frustrated here at St. John's Cathedral, Kim Tae-hee had no thoughts and simply put aside other thoughts and concentrate on playing with Park Jung-hyuk.

Soon, the car came to the bottom of Muyu Peak.

Looking from afar, the Heavenly Buddha seems to have descended from the sky, standing in the distance with unprecedented might.

After the two men were armed, they began to climb up the steps. (To be continued.) )
