Chapter 1 This is also a crossing
This night is destined to belong to 1.3 billion Chinese.
When the opening ceremony of the 2008 Yenching Olympic Games directed by Zhang Yimou kicked off at the Bird's Nest, the world's attention was once again focused on China, Yanjing, the Bird's Nest, and the perfect combination of the four ancient inventions and the maritime and land Silk Road and modern technology.
The oriental charm, the spirit of dragon and horse, the origin of civilization, and the demeanor of a great country are carefully interpreted by Zhang Yimou like a dream and vividly.
China is cheering, China is excited, China is boiling. The 1.3 billion people, the 1.3 billion Chinese descendants, who account for one-fifth of the world, are completely crazy: this is our Olympics, it is the Olympics of 1.3 billion Chinese sons and daughters, and no one in this world can stop us from rushing to the Olympics!
Excited, appreciative, amazed, surprised, jealous, resentful, trembling, at the sacred moment of witnessing the rise of China, the world's eyes are complicated and confused.
Liu Yimin's position stood in an unnoticed corner on the right side of [***] square, and in front of him was a crowd of excited and almost crazy: some twisted Yangge, some beat gongs and drums, and some waved their right hands and shouted slogans of China Come on, Yanjing Come on, everyone's faces were filled with smiles intertwined with happiness and fanaticism, and it seemed that everyone was happy, all happy, and all happy.
Looking at the sea of joy in front of him, Liu Yimin had an indescribable sense of happiness. He remembered what it had been like when he had been on assignment.
It was an afternoon when Liu Yimin, who was studying for a doctorate at the National Defense University, received a notice that he should gather for a meeting. Liu Yimin thought, this is rare, since he was sent by Peking University to this highest university in the army to study for a doctorate, it is rare to have a chance to have a meeting, he is really a little crazy for him who loves public welfare activities, if he didn't think about his dream of being a general, he would want to drop out. Is it wrong today, there is a notice to let me go to the meeting, it is strange.
When I went to the conference room, I saw that the leaders of the college were basically there, and they were very formal. I'm dizzy, what are you doing here, so serious. Hurry up and stand in the line.
At this time, President Lieutenant General began to speak: "Comrades, the Olympic Games are about to open in Yanjing, which is a long-awaited sports event for the 1.3 billion Chinese people, a symbol of the comprehensive rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and a test of the achievements of our reform and opening up in the past 30 years. However, there are always some hostile forces, such as East Turkistan, Fa*gong, and other lawless elements, who are always trying to take advantage of the opening of the Olympic Games to carry out terrorist activities. Originally, you are all undergraduates, graduate students, and doctoral students, and it is generally impossible for you to be dispatched. However, considering that this is a rare actual combat drill and an opportunity for you to exercise, the party committee of the academy reported to the Central Military Commission for approval to withdraw some backbone cadres from the cadets to participate in the safety and security work of the Olympic Games. This mission is of great significance, are you confident? ”
"Yes"!
In this way, Liu Yimin participated in the security work of the Olympic Games, and his task was to be on duty in plainclothes in [***] Square. No, it's been worth it for a while, and it's finally made it to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Thinking that the tickets for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games and the tickets for the shooting competition that he had finally applied for were sleeping in the drawers of the dormitory, Liu Yimin couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Liu Yimin took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was already 21:15 Yanjing time, and the big screen showed that Liu Qi, chairman of the Yanjing Olympic Organizing Committee, and Mr. Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee, had finished speaking, and the next step was to raise the Olympic flag and light the flame. Thinking that he could raise a glass to celebrate after the team was closed, Liu Yimin felt a sense of relief in his heart.
A face, to be precise, a somewhat childish face in his 20s entered Liu Yimin's sight.
Liu Yimin couldn't say anything, but he subconsciously felt that the childishness on this face covered up a trace of determination that was not suitable for tonight's atmosphere. Feeling wrong, he hurriedly gestured to the two teammates next to him and quietly approached the target.
Maybe the target sensed the danger, looked at Liu Yimin, saw Liu Yimin approaching him, sneered, and suddenly shouted and raised his hand to throw out a can.
"Damn"! Liu Yimin scolded wildly in his heart, jumped deep, and reached out to touch the can. Thank God! Finally caught it.
"Be careful!"
"Throw it away!"
"Liu Yimin!"
When the exclamations of his teammates reached Liu Yimin's ears, he was no longer able to react, and with a bang, the can exploded. The last thought left in Liu Yimin's heart was "It's over!" Lao Tzu hanged. ”
*
A burst of birdsong awakened Liu Yimin's consciousness.
He closed his eyes and felt it first. Yes, the air is fresh, a kind of forest freshness, but it seems to be a little cold.
It was quiet, no sounds, no cars, no city hustle and bustle, no roosters, dogs barking, cowbells in the countryside, only the occasional cries of birds. It's so peaceful, so peaceful. Feel your fingers, it's flexible. Feel your feet and be able to move. Stretch your legs, very strong. Everything is fine, done.
He relaxed his consciousness and lay quietly, letting every pore of his body absorb the fresh, cold air. It's so comfortable, if it's a little warmer, it's more comfortable than soaking in oxygen bars!
No, what is this place? Where am I?
Liu Yimin slowly opened his eyes, dizzy, what kind of place is this, at a glance, reckless and vast, is it really a big forest? Why are you lying on the dry grass? God, what's the matter, a can blew me up in the forest?
Liu Yimin's mind kept turning, what was going on, he was obviously on duty in [***] Square, how did he get here? The can was a bomb with a strong surname, and after reaching out to catch it, it exploded. That's supposed to blow yourself apart, why are you lying in this barren forest? Isn't the season right? It's early August when I'm on duty, so why are the leaves falling, the grass is yellow, and the weather is a little cold? God, I really don't understand. I don't know what kind of place this is, it doesn't look like the area around Yanjing, there is no such good forest there. Gotta ask someone right away.
Liu Yimin stood up and looked at his body, he was still wearing civilian clothes when he was on duty; Kick the legs, the strength of long-term exercise is still there; Jumping, the body seems to be much lighter, and as soon as I stomp my foot, I pulled it up with a whoosh.
Hurry up and practice Wudang boxing, dizzy, I can't imagine that Wudang inner boxing, which has been practiced for more than 10 years, can be regarded as practicing at home today, the eyes are in hand, the body walks at will, and the internal strength bursts out round and round, haha, even if the master sees it, it is estimated that he will smile with his eyes.
Then practice military boxing, long boxing, Xingyi boxing, Bajiquan, Baguazhang, the more you practice, the more surprises, the more you practice, the more energetic, the actions that were not done in place in the past are now all integrated, and the fist is everywhere, whirring and windy, and you want to destroy the withering and decaying.
After practicing a set of boxing techniques, his face is not red, his breath is not panting, on the contrary, his internal strength is surging, his whole body is full of strength, and he is indescribably comfortable. Now it's okay, the king of successful husbands. If you can't become a general after graduating in the future, you can still box, maybe you will soon become a world boxing champion, with a big dollar, a big gold and diamond, and a beautiful woman? Haha, there is a big one.
If there were people next to him at this time, they would have seen a very silver scene: a very handsome young man, with his back facing the sky, his eyes wide open, and the old elder of the Haraziliu was long, and his mouth was full of words
A burst of gunfire interrupted Liu Yimin's Yiyin. Where to shoot? Liu Yimin threw himself on the ground and listened carefully to the ground with his ears, it was indeed the sound of cannons, and it seemed that the gunshots were also very dense. It must be a military exercise.
Liu Yimin thinks that the whole army conducts exercises every year, and it is a red-blue confrontation all day long, just like acting, and I don't know when we will be able to do something real like the US military in the Iraq war, so that those who are *, East Turkistan, ** and those who planted the national flag on the Diaoyu Islands can also feel what regret and fear are. No matter what, now consider getting out of this forest and going to the exercise site to observe it before returning to the team.
I touched my pocket, and my phone and wallet were there. Take out your mobile phone and call a group of comrades to report that you are safe. Why is there no signal? Dizzy, what era is it now, there are mobile phone signals on Mount Everest, what is this place, why is there no signal? Anyway, let's go, go and watch military exercises.
There was no road in the forest, and by the time Liu Yimin overcame the thorns and ran near the gunfire, the clothes on his body were already ragged, and he looked like the old society called Huazi in the movie.
He didn't run directly to the exercise ground, in case the drill came to the real thing, wouldn't it be too dangerous if he didn't shoot the drill bullets and live ammunition? Instead, I looked at the terrain, ran to a hill near the sound of gunfire, and looked down, and I was happy when I landed, and I was really making a movie.
There is a battle going on on the opposite hill, and the defenders of the hill are dressed like the clothes of the Red Army in the movie, and there is a tattered red flag on the position; The attackers were dressed like the [***] clothes in the movie, the officials were shouting with pistols, the soldiers were holding guns, the cats were climbing up with their waists, and there were overseers behind them. Looking further down the hill where he was, halfway up the mountain was the artillery position of [***], and a dozen old-fashioned mortars were firing at the Red Army position on the opposite hilltop.
It's boring, I don't know which crew is filming, let's go take a look, and ask what kind of place this is.
Liu Yimin was about to go down the mountain when gunshots suddenly rang out behind him. He turned around and saw that a dozen Red Army soldiers were running towards the hill where he was, followed by a group of [***] soldiers, shouting and shooting.
He was about to say hello, a stray bullet fell beside him, picked it up and looked at it, the bullet was an old-fashioned lead bullet, and it was still hot in his hand, how could he use live ammunition to make a movie? Besides, in China in the 21st century, in addition to museums, where can you find such antique bullets? Looking down, why isn't there a camera behind it? He turned around and looked at the opposite hill, [***] was about to attack the hill, the Red Army had already jumped out of the trenches, grenades and bayonets on both sides, knives and knives were bloody, and guns and guns were deadly.
God, this is not a movie, it is a real battle. It seems that the joke was a big deal, could it be that the can blew itself back to the time of the Civil Revolutionary War in the 30s? God, what should I do?
Liu Yimin was sweating anxiously, and he didn't know why he was so unlucky, and his good duty turned out to be bombed. The parents don't know what to do now, they are ordinary civil servants, they have been cautious all their lives, and all their savings are spent on their son, hoping that their son will be safe and happy.
Liu Yimin went to kindergarten when he was two years old, he was very smart when he was young, he learned calligraphy, painting, piano, vocal music, and every year on May Day and summer vacation, his parents took him out to travel, saying that it was to increase his knowledge and broaden his horizons. Once on a trip to Wudang Mountain, I met his master, a tall and thin Taoist who didn't know how old he was. That year, Liu Yimin was 7 years old. Since then, every summer vacation and winter vacation, my father has sent Liu Yimin to Wudang Mountain to accompany his master.
The master has no status in Wudang Mountain, and others say that he is a wild Taoist and never participates in various Taoist meetings organized by Wudang Mountain. In addition to practicing martial arts, the master only instructed Liu Yimin to bathe and change clothes, incense at home, and recite the heart method on May 13 every year on the birthday of Patriarch Zhang Sanfeng.
The master passed on his skills to him without reservation, and he became the authentic successor of the Wudang Longmen School.
In the past ten years, Liu Yimin's martial arts and knowledge have made great progress, sitting and lying still, gestures, and a young master's demeanor.
The year they graduated from high school, their hometown produced a national wushu sanda champion. It is also Liu Yimin's young surname, and he can't help itchy, and on the night when the champion went home to visit his relatives, he asked the champion for guidance, and the result was that the champion never returned to his hometown.
After receiving the news of being admitted to Peking University, Liu Yimin's parents shook hands excitedly, and his father still hummed "Whose champion is it" at home every day. Who knew that during the freshman military training, the instructor found that Liu Yimin was very talented in shooting, so he tried to let him shoot a few more bullets, and the result was ten rings. The instructor who led the team was a company commander, and the young man loved to have whimsical ideas, thinking that if he pulled the talents of Peking University to develop in the army, maybe it would be the greatest contribution he had made in his life. Therefore, the instructor deliberately made friends with Liu Yimin, and pulled him to the army for training during the summer vacation. After graduating from Peking University, he was guaranteed to study for a master's degree and a doctorate at the National Defense University. Seeing the bright prospects, I can't imagine that a small can will put an end to it all.
Thinking of the scene when his parents received the bad news and the expectations of the old Taoist master and the young instructor for him, Liu Yimin felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and he fell to the ground with a flutter.
