Jing Like has the habit of getting up early to run and exercise, and gets up on time at half past five every morning. Although Wu Dao does not participate in morning exercises, he is also used to getting up early. When Jing Like got up, he followed. After the two of them finished washing, they walked out of Weixiu Garden and entered Yanyuan from the west gate of Peking University.

Wu Dao followed Jing Like for a while, and he began to be a little unable to keep up. Seeing this, Jing Like stopped running, and the two of them started walking. While walking, Jing Like said to Wu Dao:

"You should also exercise regularly. I know you don't like to move, but too little exercise is not good for your body after all. ”

"I know it, but I just can't do it." Wu Dao said.

"When we watch costume film and television dramas, we often hear the sentence that literati have no power to restrain chickens, but this is actually wrong. Ancient Chinese literati, especially those before the Tang Dynasty, many of them were both civil and military, not only wrote well, but also had very good health, and many of them could also do martial arts, and they were generals on the battlefield. Confucius had great strength, archery was also very powerful, and Li Bai was also proficient in swordsmanship. Even after the Song Dynasty, the Chinese literati began to weaken, and there were still many people who were both civil and military. Calligraphy talks about the spirit of Haoran, qi and force are inseparable, if the wrist is not strong, the words are not written well. ”

"You're right, I'll try to do it."

The two of them walked around the Yan Garden, and then returned to Weixiu Garden, when Si Baifang had already gotten up. The three of them went to the Peking University cafeteria to have breakfast together. Jing Like had to pay for the meal alone, Wu Dao was very embarrassed and said to him:

"Like, you paid for last night's meal alone, so let's pay for ourselves today. With such a high consumption in Beijing, it is not easy for you. ”

"Wu Dao, you are out of sight, what kind of friendship we have, just like brothers. It is rare for you and Si Baifang to come to Beijing once, although I don't earn much money, but I can still afford to eat for a few days. Besides, I know that your family is not rich, and now you don't go to work, Si Baifang also has difficulties, you have to spend travel expenses to and from Beijing, and it will cost you to play in Beijing these days, so you can leave the money to buy tickets and take the car, and give me breakfast and dinner. Jing Like said.

Hearing Jing Like say this, Wu Dao didn't know what to say, he was moved to have such a friend. Jing Like patted Wu Dao's shoulder, and Wu Dao also patted Jing Like on the shoulder and said:

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

After eating, the three of them went back to the dormitory to get something. Walking on the road, Jing Like suddenly remembered something and said to Wu Dao and Si Baifang:

"Do you have a student ID?"

"I brought my graduate student ID." Wu Dao said.

"I don't have a student ID." Si Baifang said.

"All attractions in Beijing have half-price student tickets, Wu Dao can use a graduate student ID, my dormitory, many of the people living next to it are students, I will borrow a student ID card for Si Baifang to use, so that both of you can buy half-price tickets, and you can save a sum of money." Jing Like said.

Wu Dao and Si Baifang both nodded yes.

"I still have to go to work, so I'm not going with you. At noon, I eat at the unit, and you can just watch and eat outside. Jing Like said again.

"You just go to work and leave us alone." Wu Dao said.

"yes, we'll just go around on our own." Si Baifang said.

"That digital camera belongs to our unit, you can just use it. I'll return it when I'm done with it. I also have a map of Beijing there, so you can take it and look at it on the road. Jing Like said.

"Good. I'm trying to buy a map of Beijing, and if you have one, we won't have to buy another one. Wu Dao said.

After returning to the dormitory, Jing Like borrowed a student ID card from a female neighbor and gave it to Si Baifang, and then took a map of Beijing and a digital camera and gave it to Wu Dao. Wu Dao packed everything in the backpack he brought with him.

Jing Like commutes to work by bicycle every day, and after handing over his things to Wu Dao and Si Baifang, it is also time for him to go to work. Wu Dao and Si Baifang walked with him to the road outside. Wu Dao and Si Baifang were going to the Forbidden City, and Jing Like told them the location of the bus stop sign and the place to get off, and then rode their bicycles to work.

Passing by the store on the way to the stop sign, Wu Dao bought two bottles of mineral water, a bottle of Nutrition Express and a bag of bread, which he also packed in his backpack.

It took Wu Dao and Si Baifang nearly two hours to finally come to the square in front of the Forbidden City. They are all too familiar with this square. Si Baifang said to Wu Dao:

"I'm finally here today, let's take a group photo together."

"Well, that's exactly what I wanted." Wu Dao said.

Wu Dao took out a digital camera from his backpack and found a passerby to take a photo of him and Si Baifang, with the Forbidden City in the background. The two of them looked at the good photos and thought they were good. Wu Dao thanked the person who helped take the photo, and said to Si Baifang:

"Let's go buy tickets and take a look inside the Forbidden City."

"Okay, there are so many people queuing up to buy tickets, let's go quickly." Si Baifang said.

The two of them came to the ticket office, Wu Dao asked Si Baifang to wait outside, he went to line up by himself, and Si Baifang gave him his ID card and student ID.

Wu Dao queued for more than ten minutes before finally coming to the ticket window. At first, he was worried that the name and photo on Si Baifang's ID card and student ID card were inconsistent, and the ticket sales staff would not sell him two student tickets because of this. However, in fact, the ticket seller did not open the student ID card at all, and compared whether the information on the student ID card and the ID card were consistent, so they gave Wu Dao two student tickets. Wu Dao walked up to Si Baifang, handed her the ticket and documents, and said:

"At first, I was worried that the conductor would find out that your ID card and student ID were not a person, and only sold us a student ticket, but I didn't expect her to take the ticket without looking at the inside of the student ID card at all."

"It should be that there are too many people buying tickets, and the conductor has been selling tickets constantly, and people are too tired, so they relax their requirements." Si Baifang said.

"Yes, it should be like this, if it were me, it would be the same nine times out of ten."

"Let's go into the Forbidden City."

"Let's go, let's go and see what the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties are like."

Wu Dao and Si Baifang walked into the Forbidden City with happy steps. The two of them were talking as they walked. In the Imperial Garden, Wu Dao said to Si Baifang:

"I used to watch costume TV dramas, and I often mentioned the Imperial Garden. I thought the emperor's garden was a big place, but it turned out to be nothing more than a small garden. It is no wonder that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty wanted to build the Old Summer Palace outside the Forbidden City, and after the Old Summer Palace was burned down, Cixi built the Summer Palace. ”

"So, there are a lot of things that we can't just imagine, we have to see with our own eyes. This time we came to the Forbidden City, it was worth our trip. Si Baifang said.

At the Zhenfei Well, the two of them stayed for a long time. Si Baifang said to Wu Dao:

"Concubine Zhen and Emperor Guangxu were in love, in that troubled era, they were originally a good couple, but unfortunately Cixi couldn't tolerate Concubine Zhen and pushed her into the well."

"It is said that Concubine Zhen was punished for selling her official position. The harem of the Qing Dynasty was not allowed to interfere in politics, and Concubine Zhen was at fault, but the person who really interfered in politics and sold officials was Cixi herself. Emperor Guangxu had the ideal of reform, but unfortunately he had no real power in his hands, not only failed to change the law, but also could not save the people he loved. In fact, Emperor Guangxu was even more pitiful than Concubine Zhen. It is said that he was later poisoned. Wu Dao said.

"Emperor Guangxu and Concubine Zhen met the right person, but unfortunately they were born in the wrong place, if they didn't live in this palace, but two ordinary people, maybe they could live together for a lifetime."

Because the area of the Forbidden City was too large, Wu Dao and Si Baifang still hadn't finished shopping at noon, so the two of them ate some small bread for lunch.

Wu Dao and Si Baifang walked around the Forbidden City for more than three hours to finish watching them all, and along the way, they took a lot of group photos.

When he walked out of the Forbidden City, Wu Dao said to Si Baifang:

"I don't know if I don't come to the Forbidden City, the emperor is actually not a good job. There is so much work to be done every day, and it is said that many emperors have to get up in the middle of the night to go to court. If you want to be a good emperor, you have to become a workaholic, and you have to know how to use people. It's easy to be a faint king, but there's a danger of being overthrown or even killed. Lu Xun wrote an essay called "On the Emperor", which mentioned the 'foolish monarch policy', the emperor wanted to fool the people of the world, but he did not know that he was also being fooled by the people of the world. The emperor thought that he was rich in the world, and the whole world was not the king's land, but in fact he was a poor man with no freedom. ”

"That's right, everyone wants fame and wealth, they want to be a big official when they are a small official, and they want to be an emperor when they become a big official. What can you do when you become an emperor, in the end it is just a dream. It's better to be an ordinary person and come and go freely. Si Baifang said.

"Baifang, let's look around here to see if there is a place to eat. After eating, we will go somewhere else. ”

"I've just eaten those little noodles, and I'm already full, and it's almost two o'clock now, and it's past dinner time, so we might as well just walk around here, have a look, and eat again in the evening." If you're hungry, I've got half a bottle of Nutrition Express for you to drink. ”

"Well, I'm not hungry."

The two of them walked around the Forbidden City, and then took the bus to Tsinghua University. Wu Dao has also longed for this university for a long time, but when he was really in it, he found that he had no sense of belonging here, and Si Baifang also had a similar feeling. In addition, the time was close to five o'clock in the afternoon, so they only stayed at Tsinghua University for a short time before returning to Weixiu Garden.

At half past five, Jing Like also returned to Weixiu Garden. The three of them went to the cafeteria to eat together, and then took a walk in the Yan Garden. When Wu Dao and Jing Like were chatting, they talked about him and Si Baifang's trip to Tsinghua University:

"In the afternoon, Bai Fang and I went to Tsinghua University. I found that I didn't have a sense of belonging there, but I did have a strong sense of belonging to Peking University. Baifang also felt this way. ”

"I'm just like you. Each person will have a sense of belonging to a place, which is inseparable from the education, outlook on life, worldview, and so on. It is difficult for people who like Peking University to like Tsinghua University, and vice versa. We all have a sense of belonging to Peking University, which just shows that we are a type of people. Jing Like said.
