Chapter 4 A Trip to Meiyuan New Village
Meiyuan New Village is also on Guofu Road, and I am going to visit there now.
Walk out of the art gallery, turn to the east, and if you can't go far, you have to pass in front of the national ** gate. The government is also sitting north to south, and when you look at it from the door, it is quite far-reaching, but compared to other institutions, it feels that it does not have such a palace-like appearance. There is also a pair of stone lions in front of the door, which are too small and not mighty. Although it is a bit of a modern realism, it does not dare to compliment it as a work of art. It should not be a defect if it can be without.
Passing in front of the palace gate, and then going east, you have to walk through a section of railway. The railroad is under the walls of the national capital, and at first it seems that it is detrimental to the tranquility, but on the other hand, it seems that it is better to be able to get closer to the life of the city in this way.
After crossing the railway and a side street, it is not good to go far, and there is a side alley on the same street on the left, which is where Meiyuan New Village is located.
The name of Meiyuan New Village is very beautiful and has a poetic meaning. On the ground, however, the situation is exactly the same as the name. Not only does it not have a plum blossom garden, but it also does not have a village of its own. This is the same prose within the prose as "The Hundred Family Names". The streets are bumpy, and I heard that there are many special mission mechanisms, and it seems that the air is shining everywhere like wolfdogs, eyes, eyes.
The Zhou Mansion on the 30th should be an oasis here.
A small and delicate mansion. The garden has a Japanese flavor, and I heard that it was originally a place where Japanese people lived. Construction was being carried out in the garden, and some bricks and wood equipment were piled up on the right-hand side, and several master carpenters were stepping up to start construction. Looking at this situation, Zhou Gong seems to have the intention of staying for a long time, and he seems to have such a intention - in this small world, for the eyes around him, to show the track of peaceful construction.
Indeed, the first feeling I had when I entered the city of Nanjing was that the city was still a rough draft. Other Yangtze River sluices, Qiantang River sluices, those astonishingly large plans are not busy for the time being, just for the sake of re-observation, the construction of this capital seems to be urgent. The gentlemen, however, who are obsessed with decency, have focused all their interest on the gambling of the Civil War, and have kept this coarse draft out of character.
The living room is also small and has little frills. In addition to a lot of shuttle hair, a small round table in the middle is displayed with a pot of aragonite from the rain flower platform. The tranquility, clarity, solidity, and selflessness of this aragonite seem to symbolize the spirit of the owner. On both sides of the fireplace on the west side, and on the left and right waist walls that separate the dining room from the dining room, there are bookcase-like closets, which should have been displayed with books or knick-knacks in the front, but now they are empty. A crimson curtain obscures the dining room.
After only two months of not seeing him, Zhou Gong was much thinner than when he was in Chongqing. Probably because he was too busy and didn't have the leisure for a haircut, his slightly too long hair made his face pale. His situation is the most difficult, the responsibility is so great, the affairs are so complicated, and the environment is so rebellious. Many things are clearly done because they know they can't be done, but they don't dare to relax at all, can't relax, and refuse to relax. His work almost often consisted of all-nighters, with only a period of early morning sleep for him, and sometimes even a whole day without sleep. He had lamented that a third of his life had been consumed in "futile negotiations." Negotiations are not necessarily "useless", the negotiations he participated in are always related to the life and death of the nation, but compared with the energy he expended, the achievements seem so small. It is a deep national sorrow that such a talented person has no more active construction work for him.
However, the lofty eyebrows, the blazing eyes, and the clear conversation are still so spiritual. The spirit of not avoiding any hardships and hardships radiates perseverance that makes people calm and optimistic. In my heart, I pray deeply for the people and for his health.
My own stomach is a little out of balance, and Zhou Gong is not very comfortable, so I was kept for lunch and ate a meal of pasta with him. After the meal, he hurried out again to attend some meeting.
Borrowing a jeep from the office, we first went to visit Maud Hui and the representatives of Al-Shabaab. As it happened, neither of them was at home, so we went back to the Central Hotel.
