Chapter 307: The Heavy Great Wall
As expected, Liu Sihan splashed and rolled around, and Zhang Mingxin could only agree to go back to discuss with his father in the end. Zheng Chengxian was naturally overjoyed, and it was a good time to push the cup and change the lamp, and the last few people were drunk, and Liu Sihan had to be supported by Li Mengyao to stand firmly.
The four of them said goodbye at the door, and Zhang Mingxin looked at Liu Sihan, who seemed to be asleep, with a complicated expression: "Hanhan, you pay attention to your body, and you have time to go home and have a look." Uncle Liu misses you very much. ”
Then he turned to Zheng Chengxian and said, "Mr. Zheng, I will answer you as soon as possible after I go back and ask my father about this matter."
"Thank you so much." Jung Sung-hyun expressed his sincere gratitude.
Zhang Mingxin nodded, and then glanced at the calm Li Mengyao wordlessly. Turn around and get in the car and leave.
"He's gone?"
As soon as the car came out of sight, Liu Sihan immediately raised her head and asked, her eyes were clear and she was not drunk at all.
"Hmm~!"
Li Mengyao chuckled and nodded, not surprised at all by her friend's sudden awakening.
"I didn't expect Miss Liu to be so good at acting." Jung Sung-hyun quipped.
He found out early in the morning that Liu Sihan was pretending to be drunk, after all, he himself had experienced too much drunkenness, and he could tell it at a glance if he was pretending. And there are a few people who are very drunk, and they also know how to take mobile phone wallets and other personal belongings.
"Hehe~" Liu Sihan stuck out her tongue, her nose wrinkled slightly, and she was a little proud.
"But I don't think Mr. Zhang seems to believe it."
Liu Sihan raised his chin: "I don't care if he believes it or not, love it or not." Anyway, I'm scolding. ”
Zheng Chengxian began to think that this girl was very interesting, her personality was straightforward and unpretentious, although she looked very aggressive, in fact, she still had some of her own little calculations inside.
"Where are you two going next? I'll ask Brother Liu to send you over. ”
Brother Liu was the chattering taxi driver, and Zheng Chengxian chartered his car.
"Male god, where are you going?"
Liu Sihan asked grinningly.
"Why don't you call Mr. Zheng?" Zheng Chengxian asked narrowly.
"Didn't an outsider just now! Don't worry about these details. Liu Sihan waved her hand and didn't care.
"I'm not tired yet, it's rare to come to Huaguo once, and I want to go to the Great Wall to see. Isn't there a saying that 'if you don't reach the Great Wall, you're not a hero'? ”
"Okay, I haven't been there for a long time, let's go together?"
Liu Sihan looked at her friend for advice, Li Mengyao didn't speak, but her gentle and doting gaze explained everything.
"Won't it be too much of a delay for the two of you?" Zheng Chengxian couldn't bear Liu Sihan's enthusiasm a little, and looked at the two of them apologetically.
"No, no, it's too late to be happy to be able to introduce our Chinese culture to you, a great writer! Isn't that Yaoyao? ”
Li Mengyao nodded, and said lightly to Zheng Chengxian: "Hanhan is a fan of Mr. Zheng, if you let you visit the Great Wall alone, and she goes home to sleep by herself, I believe she will regret it in the future." ”
Jung Sung-hyun smiled gratefully and said no more. The three of them got into the car and went straight to the Badaling Great Wall.
As the most prestigious tourist attraction in China, the great building of human history is still crowded with tourists even in hot weather. Visitors from all over the world are excited to take photos on the ancient city walls.
The driver, Lao Liu, said that he would not follow the offense, stayed in the car to hide in the shade, and the three of them climbed the Great Wall in a hurry.
It was the first time for Zheng Chengxian to climb the Great Wall, and standing on the old city wall, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.
Between the lush green hills, a gray-brown building resembles a long dragon, winding into the distance. The majestic architecture is always a shock to the people and makes one wonder how such a great feat could have been achieved in ancient times.
The three of them felt a little tired after walking for a while, so they rested on one of the castle towers.
"Mr. Zheng, why do you want to come here on such a hot day?"
The wind in the mountains was quite strong, and Li Mengyao reached out to suppress the sunhat she had just bought, her face full of curiosity. In her opinion, Zheng Chengxian is white and thin, such a person should be very afraid of hardship.
Zheng Chengxian patted the stone stack at his hand and replied with emotion: "I have liked Chinese culture since I was a child, and I really want to see the Great Wall, one of the symbols of China, and appreciate the long historical precipitation."
"I have checked the information, this section under our feet, built in the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, took more than 80 years, and went through three generations of emperors to complete. General Qi Jiguang, a famous national hero of your country, was once stationed here. ”
"Wow~~"
Liu Sihan opened her mouth wide in amazement, looking a little funny:
"A male god deserves to be a male god, and even he knows this. It's amazing! ”
"Hehe, Miss Liu has won the prize."
Zheng Chengxian touched his nose embarrassedly, and being praised by the beautiful woman made him a little proud.
"The wisdom of the ancients is no worse than ours, and in the era when science and technology are so backward, this level of engineering is really unimaginable." Li Mengyao's steady tone had a hint of self-smugness, and Zheng Chengxian's admiration made her feel quite honored.
"A lot of people don't understand how these stones were brought up and how they were built. I care more about the story behind it" Zheng Chengxian patted the stone stack again, his eyes were a little deep:
"For more than eighty years, this is probably the life of some people, and the whole life is dedicated to these stones, which is a little sour to think about. How many craftsmen were injured and how many died during the construction? How many happy families have been shattered by the departure of these people, and how many wives and children have been displaced? ”
Zheng Chengxian's words seem to be asking and answering himself, with some questioning meaning. Li Mengyao didn't like it when she heard it, and couldn't help but retort:
"But they have to do this in order to defend themselves against foreign enemies, otherwise more families will suffer a tragic fate."
"I know, I know." Zheng Chengxian stroked the cold stone and muttered to himself:
"I can understand the painstaking efforts of those in power, and in those times they had to do things as a last resort, but they still feel sad. People disregard the happiness and safety of others for their own selfish desires, how can such a history be a Chinese family? ”
Liu Sihan didn't make a sound when Zheng Chengxian spoke, just listened quietly. It was only at this time that he hesitated to speak:
"The history of the development of every nation is not as gorgeous and magnificent as it is written in books, full of blood, tears and wars. This is undoubtedly sad, but it is unavoidable. ”
"Yes, it is because of the sacrifices of these people that we can see the Great Wall today, we can see the pyramids, and we can see so many amazing and sad majestic buildings." Jung Sung-hyun's voice was low, and his eyes were full of pity.
"There is too much blood and tears behind every building. There are the blood and tears of the nation, and there are also the blood and tears of the country, which are too heavy. The moment everyone sees it, they are not shocked by its magnificence, but by the heaviness behind it. ”
Zheng Chengxian turned around and pointed to the tall city tower: "Look at these, are we really just admiring its majesty?" Isn't there a little bit of sadness for the suffering behind it? ”
The two were infected by Zheng Chengxian's words and became speechless, and the previous You Xing was swept away.
After a long time, Li Mengyao smiled reluctantly: "I have to say that Mr. Zheng is really a master of destroying the atmosphere." These words made me feel that if I didn't cry here, I was sorry for my Chinese identity. ”
"Haha, sorry, sorry."
Zheng Chengxian was shocked that he had said something inappropriate, and stroked the back of his head and snorted: "I write novels, and I always think about it more. ”
Li Mengyao smiled and didn't say anything. With her interruption, the atmosphere has eased a lot.
"Because of these, did you write "Memories of the Forbidden City"?"
Liu Sihan asked suddenly, with an unusually solemn face, Zheng Chengxian couldn't help but nodded.
"Even though I know I'm not Chinese, and I know that whatever I do will not help the past, I still want to do something. Not for myself, nor for Huaguo. Rather, it is so that people can remember the sufferings of history and thus cherish the present life. (To be continued.) )
