Introduction to the Three Gorges

Next Chapter

Li Su stood in front of the railing, flipped his phone over, clicked, and took a picture of himself and the Three Gorges Dam behind him.

His fingers twitched across the screen. Share, share to the circle of friends, write two sentences of your mood at this time, and click send. A second later, a new dynamic appeared in his circle of friends, and in the photo he was smiling very brightly.

After a while, several comments appeared under this dynamic, from his parents, relatives and former classmates. The content is nothing more than wishing him a good mood, sighing at the beauty of the scenery and saying that the photos are well taken. He turned off the screen, turned his back against the railing, closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the sun shining on him, the smile on his face vanishing without a trace.

As someone who has no interest in traveling, coming here is not as much fun as watching a movie at home. He's here mainly because of his parents.

Li Su, a second-year student at Qingwu University, is currently enjoying her summer vacation.

As a self-proclaimed new-age person, he was not interested in most of the traditional entertainment methods, including but not limited to KTV, bars and dinners. He thinks there's a lot more fun to be had on the computer. In front of the computer, he can exchange tactics and cooperate with his teammates in the morning, and in the afternoon, he can argue with people on the other side of the world and talk about ideals.

Instead of sitting in front of a "friend" who has completely different hobbies and only intersects because he studied at the same university, suppress his impatience and don't understand what he's talking about to listen to him say which singer he likes recently, his song is very exciting, and then give his praise, and then let the other party listen to himself with the same mood and say that the plot in that movie is very funny or very touching, and then accept the other party's appreciation.

This is torture for both sides.

Shouldn't people be with people who share the same aspirations? Just like Liu Yuxi in the East said, "There is a great deal of Confucianism in talking and laughing, and there is no vain in communication" and Wilde in the West said, "We all live in the gutter, but there are still people who look up at the starry sky." ”

With the advancement of science and technology, the network has finally achieved this, and it has allowed people with lofty ideals from thousands of miles to finally gather together seamlessly and achieve great harmony in human society. Why would anyone want to deny him?

However, even though Li Su has a thousand thoughts and all kinds of pride in his heart, his behavior is still just a house in the eyes of his parents. The parents didn't know where to hear that a Heisei man was obsessed with his pillow and vowed to marry him, and they were afraid that their son would follow in his footsteps. A family meeting was held after the holiday.

It is to the effect that Li Su, you have grown up, not only our son, but also an adult, we will not stop you from choosing what kind of lifestyle you want, but you must at least go out for a walk and see the world before choosing, right? And so on and so forth.

Li Su himself knows what his parents are worried about, and he himself hates people like that, let alone more traditional parents. But his hobbies are not something that can be explained in a few words, and he also knows that his parents are very open-minded to do this, so he chose the plan offered by his parents - to go on a trip, and then chose the Three Gorges Dam in front of him among several locations.

The reason why he chose this place is a long story, and everything still stems from the bottomless pit he began to fall into in the second junior high school - "Dragon Family" written by Jiang Nan.

Now that the subject matter of this book is not very novel, it has become a masterpiece in the circle with the blessing of Jiangnan's unique and highly appealing writing. made Li Su feel that he couldn't put it down, and even gritted his teeth and saved money from the living expenses to buy all the single books, and always felt that he was a lonely little monster, but now that he thinks about it, it is black history.........

Eventually, he grew up, and he was somewhat glad to find that he didn't have the so-called blood mourning, and he found a lot of like-minded friends. They don't know each other's names, they don't know each other's nationalities, they don't know each other's beliefs, they know each other's hobbies.

That's enough.

In the row of postcards discharged by his parents, he saw the Three Gorges, and his heart couldn't help but move, like a dusty cabinet was opened, and the old things inside were rediscovered. The moment it was opened, the dust flew like a fairy.

The words that I used to secretly write down with a flashlight in the quilt are back, like ants returning home after foraging. He thought that these memories had long been forgotten with the long interruption of "Dragon Family" and his own growth, and they would never be remembered again. After all, more and better novels and movies have come to his life, and there is no reason for him to keep holding on to what he once had.

But these memories did not leave. It's like when you go back to your hometown in the countryside, and you'll find the wooden sword you once wielded still hanging quietly from your bedside. The hero wielding it is long gone, but it is still stubbornly waiting here.

In the end, he picked up one from the postcard in front of him, the one printed with the Three Gorges, and then booked the hotel and train tickets according to his parents' instructions, and then came here.

Shaking his head, Li Su threw the chaotic thoughts out of his mind. In fact, in all fairness, the scenery in front of me is beautiful. The huge concrete building cut off the wide river like a lying giant, and the water level suddenly dropped by dozens of meters. Under the giant's body, columns of water rose and fell, like angry dragons turning over the river, and the deafening sound of the water was their roar, all of which was so majestic, like a miracle that only belonged to God.

The power and beauty of industry accumulated by mankind over hundreds of years are perfectly displayed here, and he suddenly understands a little bit of the fascination of the industrial party on the Internet.

Li Su propped himself on the railing and began to recall the plot in "Dragon Family". So Ye Sheng and Jiu De Aki died upstream? The Moniach capsized in this lock? And then there was a pierced Professor Rundstedt lying on it? Tsk, that's miserable.

He was so engrossed in the novel that he didn't notice the railing beneath him leaning forward. Suddenly, he fell down from a railing and into the boiling river.

At this time, a passerby not far away recorded all this, and he compressed the video and sent it out. The digital signal flows into the Internet through the high-speed 4G network, like a fish falling into the ocean. But the fish didn't run around, it migrated from one server to another, loyally running to its target, pinpointing another fish in the middle of the ocean.

Five minutes later, the transfer is complete. Another person took it and made it into a GIF.

Ten minutes later, a Weibo shocked the melon-eating masses who were chatting and farting, "Surprise! The Three Gorges Dam of the 100 billion project can only hold on for ten years! Railing failure a tourist falls into the water! "The special title and content made it quickly rise to the hot search list.

The next day, a department's office.

A young man pushed open the office door with a solemn face and placed a stack of papers on the desk.

"Leader, confirmed, the section of this railing is very smooth, and it is obviously artificially cut." He looked at the leader in front of him, and the other party had no expression on his face. "And this incident spread so fast that the IP that uploaded the first videos and pictures has disappeared. The unusual speed at which the incident spread makes us suspect that a foreign organization is involved. ”

"What is the mood of netizens at the moment?" The other party finally spoke.

"Very unstable. Indeed, a small number of people have also seen the strangeness, such as under normal circumstances, the railing will never break at the same time on both sides, and it is normal to have a gap. But most people are still emotional, and the situation is dire. ”

"Let's publish the truth first, and initially appease the emotions of netizens. At the same time, the case is thoroughly investigated, and it is by no means ordinary people who can use their hands and feet on the railing, and it is estimated that there are ghosts in the hydropower station. And," he paused. "Did the person who fell catch it?"

"No, but the identity has been verified. is a second-year student at Qingwu University, named Li Su. His parents have now learned of his disappearance and are emotionally unstable. ”

"You go and let Don ........ Forget it, I'll go see them in person, after all, it's my son who is missing, and we have to give an explanation. His eyes froze, "At the same time, the investigation began, a thorough investigation." Whoever dares to make trouble with me, I will make him pay. His voice was flat and undulating, but it sent chills down everyone's spine.
