During the two-day vacation, Chen Zhun is ready to visit this beautiful port city that sailed out of the Titanic. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The city of Southampton, a jewel on the South Coast. It is famous for port trade and steamship manufacturing. Southampton has been one of the English cities since the Middle Ages, and shipbuilding began in Southampton in the 13th century. The famous cruise ship Titanic departed from here, which also added a touch of pathos to the city. Despite the decline of the UK's manufacturing sector, Southampton remains a major port in the UK, with a number of luxury cruise lines and container terminals. Southampton is a modern city with a rich historical and cultural heritage. Southampton also has one of the greenest rates in the UK.

Chen Zhun also loves the city of Southampton, on the one hand, because of David Winston's memories, and on the other hand, his own yearning. In his later life, he has always longed for a place with blue sky and white clouds, waves and beaches. Living quietly alone. He couldn't find it in the afterlife, but instead fulfilled his dream after crossing over. The only regret is that Southampton has no sandy beaches.

Chen Zhun has a clear plan for the two-day trip, which is the new forest park. Because Southampton's Staplewood training base is on the edge of New Forest Park, Chen Zhun can smell the fresh air and see beautiful scenery every day.

On the first day, Chen Zhun got up at six o'clock as usual and went out for a run. Chen Zhun found that David Winston was not as rigid as he imagined, and David Winston not only had suits in his wardrobe, but also a lot of fashionable clothes in it. Chen Zhun picked one casually and looked at the face that didn't belong to him in front of the mirror.

"Alas, if it were my face, I don't know how many times more handsome it would be." When Chen Zhun said this, he suddenly remembered a question. He traveled to 2004, and then there should be a fifth-grader in this world, Chen Zhun living in a coastal city in northern China. But Chen Zhun realized that it is impossible for a person to have two souls, and it has been almost a month since Chen Zhun came to Southampton, and he has not felt anything wrong in his body and mind. This question is also buried in Chen Zhun's heart, and he wants to go to his hometown to find out after the end of this season.

Today's weather is definitely good for traveling. The weather was sunny and cloudless. Chen Zhun came out of the house, and when he walked all the way, he saw that the lawn was full of British people basking in the sun, which was their habit. Everyone's face was filled with the most innocent smile. People eat and hum songs, which is why there are so many lawn music festivals in Southampton.

Today's destination is New Forest National Park, southwest of Southampton. The New Forest in England should be a suburb for Southampton, about 40 kilometers away from Southampton. It's also David Winston's favorite place to go. Choose a small village there, order a cup of coffee and look out at the beautiful lake and watch the beautiful swans on the lake. Poetic and laid-back.

New Forest National Park is the smallest national forest in the UK and was once the royal hunting ground of the United Kingdom. The land here is still owned by the Crown. The new forest is made up of open woodland, wilderness, farmland and the coast, with the largest remaining piece of public pasture in the populous South East of England.

Chen Zhun drove for more than three hours to this new forest park. He rented a bicycle at the park gate and started a day of cycling.

Soon after Chen Zhun rode on, he came across a monument that seemed to record the glorious history of this place. Chen Zhun slowly enjoyed the sunshine bathing and riding, the low bushes on both sides and rows of big trees were distributed on the lawn, as well as cows, sheep, and ponies everywhere, Chen Zhun rode in it, the sun shone on Chen Zhun's body through the dense leaves, Chen Zhun seemed to be in a paradise, warm sunshine, fresh air, lazy horses.

Chen Zhun rode past a junction, and two ponies came leisurely on the side of the road, preparing to cross the road. At this time, the vehicle opposite Chen Zhun saw that the pony consciously stopped the car, did not honk the horn, but quietly watched the pony slowly cross the road before driving over. The harmony between humans and animals is perfectly interpreted in this moment. Chen Zhun suddenly thought of the motherland at this time, but he didn't think about it.

Chen Zhun unknowingly rode to a small town. The town's landmark is an old church. How old, more than a thousand years old. Chen Zhun was amazed at how well the church has been preserved for thousands of years, which is really fortunate. Chen Zhun took a brief tour of the inside, and then sat on the chair outside the church to rest for a while. Chen Zhun looked at the crowd passing by from his chair, and everyone's faces were like people on the lawn in Southampton, a feeling of happiness and ease. Chen Zhun couldn't see any other emotions on their faces, maybe this was also the change brought about by the environment.

Chen Zhun watched the children accompanied by his parents pass by him, and he thought of his parents, wondering how they were doing now and how they were doing. When a person is away from his home for a period of time, the feeling of missing home will become more and more intense, and Chen Zhun has a deep understanding at this time. Usually I suppress this kind of longing with my busy work, and in the silent night, loneliness and loneliness fill the entire room, making Chen Zhun unable to sleep at night. Chen Zhun thought of going back for the first time, but he didn't go back. Chen Zhun shook his head, signaled himself to stop thinking about these painful things, got up and continued to move forward.

The sunlight shone on him, reflecting a long, lonely shadow.

The town was founded because of the presence of a new forest. It has a long history, and most of the buildings are still Victorian, and the vicissitudes of life are spontaneous. Most of the buildings here are more than 100 years old, and Chen Zhun strolls here, looking at the buildings and listening to them tell their long history.

Chen Zhun did not move on, but he also saw in David Winston's memory the scene ahead, where there were lush pine forests, hundred-year-old monasteries, and boundless grasslands. There is a world of all yearning, a world that truly lets go of all its constraints.

Chen Zhun had a simple lunch in this town, and then walked around the various small shops in the town. Chen Zhun also admires the people here who can still talk and laugh under the sun. Chen Zhun also basked in the sun on the chair next to the church for a long time, preparing to leave here and return to Southampton.

When Chen Zhun left, he also met the Southampton fans, who recognized David Winston at a glance, and they took photos with Chen Zhun one after another, and thanked Chen Zhun for leading the Southampton team to such a good result. For the first time, Chen Zhun personally felt the greatness and cuteness of the fans. He fell in love with the place, beautiful Southampton. This is also the first happy trip for the two Chen Zhun, who lost too many things for work and life, and Chen Zhun wants to get it back in England.

It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when Chen Zhun returned home, and the fatigue of the day made him lie in bed early. Chen Zhun thought back to this, and the only regret was that he didn't meet a beautiful English woman. Chen Zhun thought that this was also a helpless smile, thinking that he used to go on blind dates everywhere for love, and finally consumed his desire for love a little bit. He didn't want to be like this now, he wanted to really fall in love, and of course this idea would not be realized until a long time later. Now Chen Zhun only has the Southampton team in his eyes.

The next day, he didn't choose to travel, because in his opinion, the scenery anywhere could not compare to the unique scenery of the new forest park. That feeling of harmony between man and nature, animals.

Chen Zhun is also thinking about the monotonous and boring life of the head coach, watching boring videos every day, thinking about headache-inducing tactics, which is really not as wonderful as it is written on TV and in novels.

Good times always go by quickly. The two-day holiday is over. Chen Zhun will return to his busy life as a head coach tomorrow.
