Chapter 247: History Always Has a Striking Similarity

The freshness of the morning air in a small mountain town is far from being comparable to the turbidity of car exhaust everywhere in the city.

Chen Youmin, who was talking at night, and Chen Youwei got up early in the morning for the two brothers.

Chen Youmin called the secretary to arrange the day's work, and took Chen Youwei and his daughter-in-law to the Qiandao Lake Scenic Area with beautiful mountains and rivers.

After an in-depth exchange in the middle of the night, Chen Youmin has fully realized his weaknesses. Thinking clearly, he understood that he had indeed been a little too anxious in the past year, and there was no discipline between his actions, so it was naturally impossible to achieve the desired results.

Chen Youwei originally just wanted to have a general chat with Chen Youmin, and then returned to Yicheng soon.

Seeing that Chen Youmin said that he should be treated well, thinking of such a famous tourist attraction as Qiandao Lake Scenic Area, it is indeed a pity not to appreciate it.

Without saying hello to anyone, Chen Youmin and his entourage went straight to the lakeside pier in the scenic area as ordinary tourists.

In fact, the best season for Qiandao Lake tourism is still in September and October in the second half of the year, but at present, when this popularity has just opened, there are still many foreign tourists who come here. After a period of coordination at the wharf, Chen Youwei boarded a "Haitian" cruise ship that was mostly taken by tourists from Bay Island.

Perhaps seeing that Chen Youwei and the three of them were well-dressed and noble, most of the Bay Island tourists on the boat were traveling to the mainland for the first time, and Chen Youwei and the others were soon surrounded by enthusiastic Bay Island tourists and laughed.

In Anzai, the county seat is almost suffocated, and in the eyes of many Bay Island tourists, it is even more beautiful and elegant in the eyes of many Bay Island tourists.

She was able to speak well, and she soon chatted with these Bay Island tourists who were very unfamiliar with the situation on the mainland. Especially Bai Yan, who has seen the world, not to mention Hong Kong Island, is the one who has been to the United States, and with a pair of sharp teeth, the huge cruise ship is full of laughter.

Comparatively speaking, the two Chen Youwei brothers have received a lot less attention, but this situation integrates their minds. If you are really surrounded by a group of curious middle-aged and elderly aunts and talk non-stop, such a scene is terrifying just thinking about it.

After the lifting of the ban in the mid-80s, some returning veterans entered the mainland as the first batch, and since then, some of them have been full of curiosity about the mainland and yearning for the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and the tourism boom has slowly formed.

After a short period of economic blockade of China by foreign countries a few years ago, especially in the mainland, which began to take off economically in 92, it finally officially opened up many tourism markets to the outside world. Many national key scenic spots, including the Qiandao Lake Scenic Area, have ushered in a climax period of foreign-related tourism.

Through a simple understanding, Chen Youwei knew that the group of Bay Island tourists on the same boat were all a tour group in the northern part of Bay Island. Listening to the Chinese with some strange accents, even Chen Youwei in another life couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

After the economic take-off in the seventies and eighties, Bay Island has become one of the four Asian tigers at this time, and the economic wealth has significantly enhanced the self-confidence of the people of Bay Island in this era. Compared with the current barren situation on the mainland, Chen Youwei can clearly see that there is an indescribable pride behind the politeness of these Bay Island tourists.

Chen Youwei has no nostalgia for such a scene, and the people of Bay Island in this era are far from being as populist as later generations. In the midst of economic take-off and a gradual opening up of the political environment, the Bay Island is clearly in a rare golden boom period in their development history.

Chen Youwei clearly knew that in the near future, Bay Island would begin to engage in East and West with the notorious careerist on the island. The relationship between Wan Dao and the mainland took a sharp turn for the worse, and even at the most critical time, a major incident affecting the world world almost went off with a gunshot.

As for the 21 st century, Bay Island has been directly swayed by certain island independence elements, and the fierce political confrontation on the island has led to economic stagnation. As a result, Bay Island, which had been economically despised by the mainland for a long time, was quickly surpassed by the mainland and left far behind in the decade when it was most in need of economic development.

Statistics show that in 2000, the mainland's economic aggregate was not much different from that of the small Bay Island, and the mainland's total GDP with a population of 1.2 billion was only 1.3 times that of the Bay Island, with a population of 20 million.

By 2006, the mainland's economy was three times that of Bay Island!

Later, well, Chen Youwei, who came through the time, had no interest in pondering these boring things at all, and in his vague memory, the total economic output of Bay Island in a year was roughly the same as that of Lingnan Province!

With the rapid economic development of China in later generations, a large number of people traveled abroad to the sky, although many negative reports on the quality of tourists were reported. However, it is undeniable that only economic prosperity can make these nouveau riche with strong self-confidence have the urge to go abroad to see.

Looking at these Bay Island tourists who are chatting and laughing but maintaining politeness, no matter how unbearable Chen Youwei's impression of Bay Island is in another life, he can't help but secretly praise these high-quality tourists.

In later generations, the people of Wandao often boasted that the essence of Chinese civilization was all in Wandao, although such words made the mainland people feel harsh. However, to a certain extent, after 100 years of continuous wars and turmoil on the mainland and the continuous progress of domestic political movements, it is true that many traditions of Chinese civilization have been abandoned.

Of course, in Chen Youwei's view, the huge local Chinese cultural heritage is by no means comparable to the four civilizations that constantly integrate Western ideas and the infiltration of Japanese culture like Bay Island.

A Chinese country that is striving to catch up economically and has achieved a substantial improvement in the basic living standards of the people will certainly be more inherited and carried forward in the cultural and ideological aspects related to the Chinese civilization.

The so-called economic base determines the superstructure, which is probably what it means!

Looking at the clear blue water, Chen Youwei, who was smoking a cigarette, was silent, and thought too much for a while.

"I see that the two gentlemen are dressed extraordinarily, but their speech and demeanor are generous and decent, presumably they must be from a big city, right?" A middle-aged man with an obvious Bay Island accent chatted affectionately with Chen Youmin.

"This gentleman has good eyesight, this is my brother, and the one over there is my daughter-in-law, and we all came to the capital to travel." Recovering to the capital's swagger, Chen Youmin seemed to be grinning and talking nonsense to the man: "Sir, you are all from Bay Island?" Bay Island is a good place, we mentioned Sun Moon Lake and Penghu Islands in our textbooks when we were children, but unfortunately I never went to see it in person! ”

"Oh? It seems that Mr. has a very good impression of our Bay Island, I think now that the mainland is open to us, I think it won't be long before Bay Island will be open to you! The man also sighed and said quietly.

Chen Youwei on the side shook his head secretly, if it weren't for Li Deng's nonsense, maybe this calm state between the two sides of the strait would have continued. However, in the past two years, Li Denghui, who has vigorously engaged in island independence, has become more and more aggressive, and even openly engaged in splitting the Kuomintang in his capacity as chairman of the Kuomintang Party, which is a big move that makes people stunned.

With such a restless guy, it is really not easy for the tiny Bay Island to calm down.

Thinking of this, Chen Youwei frowned lightly, under what circumstances did the relationship between the two sides of the strait take place in a shocking reversal? It is very strange that Chen Youwei, who is a little vague about this period of history, said that in the past two years, the people-to-people exchanges between the two sides of the strait have gone smoothly, and it is really a bit inconceivable that such a turning point has taken place in such an environment.

"Do you know the truth? This Qiandao Lake Scenic Area is actually just an artificial reservoir that has only been formed in recent decades! Bai Yan's crisp Beijing films are very comfortable to listen to, and she likes to be lively the most, and she has already mingled with these aunts from Bay Island.

Bai Yan, who has been in Anzai County for a while, couldn't hold back her active heart and took the initiative to explain the situation of the Qiandao Lake Scenic Area to these tour guides from afar.

"Qiandao Lake Scenic Area is an extremely extensive artificial lake formed by the establishment of a major water conservancy project in the 50s, the Anjiang Reservoir. After the reservoir was impounded, the unsubmerged peaks formed the countless beautiful islands we see now, according to statistics, there are 1,078 islands with an area of more than 2,000 square meters, which is the origin of Qiandao Lake! Bai Yan looked at the intoxicated faces in front of her, the pride in her heart can be imagined, and she excitedly showed off to Chen Youmin and the others not far away.

The middle-aged man next to Chen Youmin looked at the calm Qiandao Lake from afar, but sighed: "The area of this Qiandao Lake is really not small, and this endless appearance surrounded by islands everywhere really seems to be in the ******." But the sea is definitely full of pirates, and we shouldn't be able to encounter such an unfortunate thing when we are inland now! ”

Pirate?

Chen Youwei felt a stirring in his heart, and a vague voice in his heart kept emerging, but he hadn't sorted out his mind for a while.

"Sir, it's really funny, most of the people in the mountains here are simple and simple, where can there be that kind of lawbreakers who dare to block the road and rob in broad daylight? Now Huaxia is not like the time when bandits were everywhere like before the liberation! Chen Youmin smiled and handed the other party a cigarette and smiled.

Robbery?

Outlaws?

Qiandao Lake?

The lightning sparks in Chen Youwei's mind flickered, and the things he didn't want to do were gradually connected, and a vicious incident in the depths of his memory that few people mentioned completely surfaced in his mind.

I finally understood what the exact reason was that the relationship between Bay Island and the mainland took a turn for the worse, and even developed into complete antagonism in just a few years. Li Dengshen, who was unwilling to be lonely, even decisively hugged the thighs of the Americans, and engaged in the two-state theory and other island independence acts that made countless Chinese sons and daughters indignant.

Chen Youwei, who straightened out all of this, sighed secretly, just like the assassination incident that detonated the First World War back then, it turned out that this history was amazingly similar.

A small incidental criminal incident that occurred in Qiandao Lake was ignited by the unscrupulous media under the situation of asymmetrical information between the mainland and the Bay Island, and the instigated flames by the unscrupulous media, and the island alone seized the opportunity to start an incident, and this led to the fierce confrontation between the two sides of the strait that lasted for more than 10 years in which Mars collided with the earth.
