The road leading to the Zhongshan Mausoleum at the foot of the Purple Mountain outside the Zhongshan Gate is probably the best section of the road in Nanjing. The cement is laid flat and cleaned. The road trees on both sides have blue bark and a little white halo, I don't know if it's Aka Enoki or white birch. The trimmed head was covered with green foliage, almost the same height and size, just right. I haven't seen each other for nine years, and the pine trees that I look at are about to become lush forests. The air is fresh and contains a strong ozone scent.

Nine years ago, when the war in Songhu was very tense, I came to the cemetery twice. But both times he lost the opportunity to pay homage. Once in the rain, and once in an air raid. Thank you for the postponement of the eight-day truce today, and thank you Dr. Federlin for driving a car to accompany us.

The style of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is said to be taken from the Freedom Bell. It does smell like that on the map. The scale of the cemetery is so large that the bell shape must be well known from a bird's-eye view from an airplane, but it is easy to ignore when viewed from the ground. The bell is facing upwards, and I don't know what the designer's intentions were. Isn't that upside down? The Liberty Bell should be facing the earth, why is it facing the sky? Mr. Nakayama is the one who holds the Liberty Bell, and the mausoleum should be placed on the handle of the bell, why is it placed on the bell mouth instead? I really don't understand the intention.

The base of the cemetery is made of water and is white. All the buildings such as steles, pavilions, mausoleums, etc., are white walls and blue tiles. It is undoubtedly a symbol of "blue sky and white sun". A grand stone tablet inside the grand stele pavilion is engraved: "The Chinese Kuomintang buries Premier Sun Yat-sen here."

The text is simple and powerful. This shows that Mr. Nakayama was buried by the party. If we think about the concept that "party power is above all else", it may be exactly right. But as a Chinese citizen, I feel that Mr. Zhongshan should be given a state funeral or a people's funeral. If the inscription could be changed to "The Tomb of the Father of the Nation, Mr. Sun Yat-sen", wouldn't it be simpler and more powerful? I drew a pattern in my head to turn the upside-down Liberty Bell upside down. The base is not a white cement, but red marble, symbolizing "the blue sky and the white sun are full of red". That might be more compatible with Mr. Nakayama's broad spirit and noble deeds, right?

Walking reverently on the ramp of the mausoleum, as he walked, there were some impressionistic and perhaps undeserved reflections on the side.

The sun is quite strong. When I arrived in the suburbs, the ultraviolet rays were more abundant, and it was an uphill road, although there was a constant breeze to cleanse, and I always felt the invasion of heat. Almost all of the people in the tomb took off their coats, but I did not even unbutton the collar of my tunic to maintain my reverence.

The Japanese ghost is quite polite, and the mausoleum has not been excessively destroyed, and I heard that there is only some damage in the northwest corner, which has been repaired. On a platform under the mausoleum is a pair of large bronze tripods, one on the left and one on the left, which were obviously moved by the Japanese. The one on the left hand has a hole in the abdomen of the cannonball, which indicates that the Japanese have moved somewhere to test the shell.

The mausoleum is guarded by soldiers. There is an inscription book at the entrance on the right, so that the person who pays homage to the tomb can inscribe his name. The marble statue of Mr. Nakayama in his national costume was sitting in the center, and we walked up to the statue and paid the most respects and meditated for three minutes. I feel that Mr. Nakayama is a little lonely around him, and if there are constant offerings of flowers or ears of grass every day, it may be more business-seeing, right? If the guards could be changed into civilian clothes, maybe it would be more appropriate, right?

The interior of the mausoleum is very simple, with black marble embedded on the sides and the waist of the back wall, and the "Outline for the Founding of the State" and other texts engraved with the handwriting of the Father of the Nation, all of which are filled with gold. These are the only decorations. It's a pity that China's carving industry is not very developed, and in my opinion, if there are reliefs on the four walls, the life of Mr. Nakayama and the main revolutionary battles should be engraved in the title. These are easy things to do, and they may be gradually realized in the future.

Stepping out of the mausoleum, condescending, looking at the clear light in front of you, nature is in the thick green season. But as soon as he came into contact with the city of Nanjing, which was presented in front of his right hand, he couldn't help but cover himself with an invisible mist in front of his eyes. Looking at the city from a high vantage point, it was originally the most unsightly, and Nanjing, which was not very ready for construction, became more and more obvious and full of devastation. But I thought about it again, and stopped my sentimentality. Mr. Nakayama undoubtedly prefers the human world that needs to be saved, he is a people's revolutionary, and he will not revel in the natural scenery for a long time and forget the people. Naturally, it reminds me of Red Square in Moscow, where Lenin's tomb is located. The tomb is made of red marble, which blends in with the lives of the people. Maybe Mr. Nakayama prefers that style, right? ……

The shirt was already soaked, and I thought it was time to undress. As I walked down the mausoleum, I took off my tunic suit. Dr. Fei advised me that it would catch a cold. I had to put it on again.

By the way, I visited the Ming Tomb again. The ranks of those stone men and stone beasts are very ancient. One of the stone beasts was shattered. Dr. Fei said: "He was still intact the last time he came. I don't know what kind of prank this is. There are unicorns, horses, camels, elephants, etc. in stone beasts, facing each other in pairs, or kneeling, or standing, the body posture is dignified, and the atmosphere is vigorous, which is really a thing worthy of protection. All the stone statues were painted green and mottled. Between the images there are young pines planted in rows. These are probably disguises created in the era of enemy puppets to avoid becoming a target for bombing, right?

Mr. Liao Zhongkai's tomb is on the west side of the Ming Tomb, and we also went to pay our respects. The structure of the cemetery is simple and solemn, and it must have been painstakingly built. It's a pity that it's not well defended, and it's quite a barren scene. Some areas were in decay and were not repaired. The whole cemetery is painted green on all the stone and cements. I don't know who presented the wreath in front of the tomb, but it has long withered.

If Mr. Zhong Kai had not been assassinated, the situation in China would have been different, right? Unexpectedly, such feelings rippled again.

A damn despicable political assassination!

Sad calamities and calamities of the Chinese people!
