"No one can live in Berlin for long and still have illusions, they see the difficulties of life in Berlin, but they choose to accept it, and they continue to build this wonderful and proud city despite being surrounded by a totalitarian system that imprisons human vitality and hope. www.biquge.info It was a powerful voice that said yes to the city, to the future, to freedom. In short, I would call this kind of thing "love"—deep and lasting love. ”

"I would like to conclude with one more sentence. I already know - and I have been asked - that when I came here, there were demonstrations. I want to say one thing to those demonstrators, I don't know if they thought that if they did have the kind of government that they wanted to build, no one would be able to do what they were doing now. ”

Reagan's speech finally ended, and he knew that he had achieved his goal by looking at the expressions of the people below: "These Germans, looking at the Berlin Wall, thinking about their compatriots on the other side, and towards the Soviets, are full of hatred, and this hatred is irreplaceable. At the same time, they should also know that the Americans are their saviors, without the United States, there would be no free world in West Germany, and the whole of Germany will be under the close surveillance of the KGB, the people will not be free, the system is rigid, and they will not even have enough to eat! ”

Reagan put down his speech and wanted to walk back, but at this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd.

The riots, from the rear, against the Brandenburg Gate, opposite the Berlin Wall, the Soviets who came to the door, there seemed to be movement!

What are they doing?

"Open the door, open the door!" A German in the back shouted: "The door to the checkpoint here is open!" ”

This was originally a passageway, but only those who have applied can pass through, and normally, the door on this side is closed, but now, after Reagan's speech, the door on this side is slowly opening!

The steel horses were removed, the barbed wire fence was moved aside, and two tall soldiers in East German uniforms stood beside the passage, and an officer with a bullhorn shouted to the place: "Compatriots, this place is now free to pass through the inhabitants of the two Germanys, but only on foot!" In addition, you must have a valid ID card of both German citizens, so please have it checked! ”

Reagan's face changed color in an instant.

Reagan was not shocked that this door was opened, but was surprised by the efficiency of Soviet execution! At the time of his speech, the content was simultaneously spread to the whole world, and in this short period of time, the Soviet top brass actually made the decision to open the opposite door! The decision-making bodies of the Soviets have always been bloated and huge, and Reagan did not expect that they would be able to open the door in such a short time!

Although this seems to be a slap in the face, it is also a credit to themselves, which shows that the Soviets are afraid of the Western world, so as soon as they scream, the door opens! It's like the sesame in Alibaba! Just call and go!

However, it seems that the East Germans are coming, right? Why can't you see the person on the other side of the door? Don't East Germans want to come to the Western free world?

Reagan was left to dry, and at the same time, the bodyguards approached Reagan, ready to deal with possible changes, what if a large number of East Germans rushed over from the opposite side and wanted to storm Reagan's side?

It's a pity not!

Here, a West German citizen, 40-year-old Heinrich, came to West Berlin to buy things when the Berlin Wall was built, but as a result, he couldn't go back. His wife and children remained in East Berlin and have been separated from each other ever since.

And just now, when Reagan was shouting to open this door, Heinrich's heart was very excited, his eyes were moist, and now, seeing that the door of East Germany was really open, he couldn't care too much anymore, whether it was a conspiracy of the Soviets or something, he strode in the direction of the gate.

"Can I go over?" Heinrich took out his own documents, proving that he was a citizen of West Berlin.

"Absolutely, welcome to beautiful East Berlin." The officer in charge of the inspection made sure that Heinrich was not carrying prohibited items, weapons or anything, and let Heinrich go.

Putting his documents back in his pocket, Heinrich walked through the Berlin Wall, twenty years later, he didn't expect that he would be able to come to this land!

Breathing in the air, Heinli hoped for all this, the general outline of the city, which had not changed, and the buildings were still the same, but painted with a new layer of color.

However, twenty years have passed, and the shops on this street are not the same as before, and Heinrich remembers very well, not far from the Berlin Wall, it should be a century-old shop, specializing in groping, but now, why is there no more?

In the same place, it seems that a new store has opened? The big sign on it, not in German, not in Russian, but ... Is it Japanese?

Heinrich was curious, originally planned to buy a few groping pork knuckles, but for more than twenty years, he had never tasted authentic salty pork knuckles, and now, his heart was occupied by curiosity.

When he went outside, he saw a model in the window of the store, dressed in a fashionable coat with a conspicuous object pinned to his waist, which stretched through a thin thread to his ears!

Walkman! This one must be selling Walkmans! Seeing this store, Heinrich was excited in his heart, now, the Walkman is popular all over the world, he has not seen his child for more than 20 years, it is better to buy one as a gift for the child! However, on your side, the price is as high as 800 marks! I don't know how expensive it is here? I only brought 300 marks with me!

While hesitating, Heinrich walked to the door, and a smiling Oriental woman greeted him: "This customer, welcome, what do you want to see?" ”

"I want to see the Walkman." Heinrich said.

"Come this way." The woman took Heinrich and walked to the counter, where the glass counter was filled with all kinds of walkmans.

"Why does this Walkman seem to be a little big?" Heinrich asked.

"Oh, this is our new product, using a CD, a tape Walkman, we've phased it out. Of course, we still have a few in stock that you can buy for 80 marks if you want a cassette Walkman. ”

The Walkman for tapes has been phased out! Heinrich was stunned for a while. (To be continued.) )
