1004. I'll just say a few words (5/5)

There are more people who enter the cemetery to make trouble, but it is only a small thing, and there will be no more such a situation of storming the procession. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first is that the terrain of the cemetery is convenient for the police to guard, and the second is that this is a cemetery after all, and it is a martyr's cemetery, no one dares to mess around in this environment, after all, the ancestors of the residents live next door.

Disturbing the situation here provokes not only the families of the martyrs, but also the families of a large number of people who have died in Wellington.

The rest is similar to the domestic memorial to the martyrs' tombs, everyone went up to send flowers and wreaths, and then leaders at all levels went up in order to speak.

At the end of the condolences, it was close to noon, but this was not the end of the event, there were other arrangements in the afternoon, that is, the popoy fundraising ceremony.

Popoy is the poppy fundraiser, a plant that represents evil in most countries, and when it is combined with World War I, it has a different meaning.

During World War I, poppies were the first plants to bloom on the barren battlefields of northern France and Belgium. There is a rumor among the soldiers that the bright red petals of the poppy are dyed with the blood of the comrades who sleep underground.

Earlier, in 1915, Canadian military physician Lieutenant Colonel John McRae had written a poem on the subject:

The poem begins, "In the fields of Flanders, poppies ripple in the wind. ”

The poem is written in the voice of the dead and ends with a warning: If you are treacherous to us, the dead, / We will not rest in peace / Though the poppy still grows / In the fields of Flanders.

Combining many factors, poppies eventually became the exclusive flower of the First World War, and they appeared in many events to commemorate the First World War.

In the past, this fundraiser in New Zealand was done by key members of various parties and volunteers to sell flowers, and then all the funds raised were used to improve the living conditions of veterans.

This year's event has changed to use ceramic flowers instead of flowers.

Because every year during this event, people plant poppies in advance and then wait for the poppies to bloom and sell them together, but the money earned must go to their own wallets.

The ceramic poppy used this time is very beautiful, printed with very modern 3D printing technology, and there is a line of small white letters on the petals, describing the theme of this event: blood-stained land, red sea.

In the past, a poppy flower was a New Zealand dollar, but this time the price of ceramic poppies sold has risen sharply, and it is divided into three types: large, medium and small, the cheapest of which costs five New Zealand dollars, and the large one costs twenty New Zealand dollars.

However, ceramic poppies are the same as real flowers, with bright red petals and shining light.

And it's made using a new ceramic technology, and the petals look flat, but there are actually a lot of capillaries, so you can spray perfume on it. The perfume will stay in these small holes, allowing the fragrance to last as long as possible.

Wang Bo liked it very much after seeing it, and bought hundreds of all kinds of ceramic flowers, and wanted to bring them to Huiri Town for decoration.

Poppy is a beautiful flower, but it is also a source of poison, and private cultivation is not allowed in New Zealand.

This kind of flower was on the street, and it was also popular, and Wang Bo pushed the car to find a Wal-Mart supermarket for promotion.

As soon as he stopped the car, two strong men dressed as security guards walked over.

In order to avoid conflicts, he hastened to explain: "Hello, I am a participant in the popoy fundraiser and I am here to sell ceramic flowers. ”

A strong man nodded and said, "We know, we're here to buy flowers, this kind of ceramic flower is great, isn't it?" ”

Wang Bo smiled: "Yes, it's great, you can send your wife and girlfriend, you can send your children, spray a little perfume on it, and the smell can stay for a week." ”

The strong man gave him ten dollars to buy a medium-sized ceramic flower and gave it to a colleague.

Under the witness of the ceramic poppy, the two smiled affectionately and happily continued to patrol.

Wang Bo shrugged, well, he witnessed a pure love.

After the ceramic flowers were placed, he deliberately chose a location under the sun, the light shone brightly, and the flowers were even more beautiful.

In total, he was responsible for selling a hundred ceramic flowers, which sold out quickly and unexpectedly.

Just as he was packing up the cart and preparing to go back, someone came up to stop Lao Wang and asked, "Hello, sir, are you a volunteer for the popoy fundraiser?" ”

Lao Wang smiled and said: "Yes, if you want to buy ceramic flowers, it's a pity that they are sold out now, but I can contact colleagues for you to see if they have them there." ”

The other party obviously didn't come to buy flowers, one of the two was holding a microphone and the other was carrying a camera, this is a reporter coming to interview.

Sure enough, the other party introduced himself, they were staff members of the New Zealand Sunshine News, and came to interview him with a few questions about the holiday.

Although Anzac Day is a tribute to the soldiers who gave their lives for New Zealand, over the years, New Zealanders have begun to reflect on the wars they have fought in, and the holiday has taken a turn for the worse.

Wang Bo guessed the questions that the reporters were going to ask, and after the Turks stormed the march, the Greens held a small meeting within the Green Party to tell everyone how to answer certain questions in the face of reporters' questions.

The reporter asked him very tricky, first asking him which country he was an immigrant, and then asking him if there were any similar activities in China.

Wang Bo said: "There are many such activities in our country, and I think these activities are very valuable, because in modern times, our country has had some very bad experiences, suffered many tragic aggressions, and we need to remember the contributions made by heroes to national independence and national freedom." ”

"Is it necessary to hold a similar event for New Zealand?"

Wang Bo was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know what to say, just say a few words." ”

"The soldiers who died in the war are undoubtedly worthy of our memory, but is it really necessary for us to participate in these wars? This has nothing to do with the soldiers, I want to ask the ruling party at the time, why did they have to let the soldiers go to these wars that have nothing to do with New Zealand?! ”

"Two world wars, we were not absent. I can't figure out how we sent our own brothers to fight in the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and I think the ruling party at that time should explain these issues to us. ”

These words were made by the top of the Green Party, and they were going to shoot at the National Party, and of course, the Labour Party must have answered the same thing.

As a key member of the Green Party, Wang Bo can't just enjoy the convenience brought to him by the party, he also has to pay, so there are times when he has to make his voice heard.

But he was not very interested in these facts in politics, so he replied hastily and pushed the cart away. (To be continued.) )
