Chapter Ninety-Six: Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo Go on a Trip
Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo returned to Zhao Hui's aunt's house, and the aunt made them chicken noodles, and they ate a big bowl of them, and they all said it was delicious.
After dinner, while watching TV, my aunt asked, "How did you have a good time today?" Zhao Hui replied: "We had a good time, we visited Changling and Dingling, and went to climb the Great Wall, which was really fun." Li Zhenguo smiled and said, "Yes! We also went to visit the wax museum, the wax figures are so realistic, they are almost like real people. The old lady smiled and asked, "Really?" Wax figures like real people? Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo both said "um".
The old lady asked with concern, "Where are you going to play tomorrow?" Zhao Hui shook her head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet!" I'm a little tired from playing today, maybe I can sleep in tomorrow. The old girl smiled and said, "Yes! If you're too tired, you'll have a good rest tomorrow and you can turn around. Zhao Hui said "um" and said, "Tomorrow we will go to the Xidan shopping mall." Li Zhenguo smiled and said, "Well! If you like to go to the mall, I'll accompany you to the mall. ”
On the morning of the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo finished breakfast, and the old aunt gave them a map of Beijing, told them to pay attention to safety, and they said goodbye to the old aunt and went to the street.
Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo walked to Xidan Shopping Mall, it was more than nine o'clock in the morning, there were not many pedestrians on the street, she liked the street scene of Beijing, she liked to see the wallside wall, the wall was red, the tile at the head of the wall was blue, how simple and elegant! Zhao Hui felt a special cultural atmosphere in her heart. She happily took Li Zhenguo's arm and walked on the side of the road, laughing all the way. Zhao Hui said to Li Zhenguo as she walked: "Let's go to the mall today, and then let's go to the Old Summer Palace to play!" Li Zhenguo looked at Zhao Hui and said, "Go to the Old Summer Palace?" Well! We should go there to see that the Old Summer Palace was built in imitation of Western architecture during the Qing Dynasty, and was later burned down by the British and French forces. Zhao Hui smiled and nodded, "Yes!" ”
Ten minutes later, they came to the gate of the Xidan shopping mall, saw that the first floor was a grocery supermarket, so they walked into the door and bought some snacks at the supermarket on the first floor. They went to the second floor again, and the second floor was a clothing department store. Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo looked around, and they each had a set of clothes, but because they were going to the Old Summer Palace, they decided to pass by here to buy them when they came back. They walked around the mall and came out, Zhao Hui pointed to the station on the side of the road in front of them and said, "Let's take the bus here to the Old Summer Palace." ”
Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo came to the bus stop, and they saw that there was a line of buses passing through the Old Summer Palace, and when the car came, they got on the bus.
On the bus, Li Zhenguo asked the conductor: "This car is to the Old Summer Palace, right?" The conductor smiled and said, "It's a long way to take this car, you reverse at the next stop and go directly to the gate of the Old Summer Palace." ”
They thanked the conductor and got off the bus and reversed to the gate of the Old Summer Palace.
Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo bought tickets and walked into the gate of the Old Summer Palace. The Old Summer Palace consists of the Old Summer Palace, the Changchun Garden, and the Wanchun Garden. Walking into the Old Summer Palace, Zhao Hui had a blank feeling in her heart, and she whispered to Li Zhenguo: "The Old Summer Palace is the royal garden of the Qing Dynasty, and it's really big here!" Empty, empty. Li Zhenguo also sighed and said: "Yes! In the Qing Dynasty, it was the summer residence of the royal family, and the area of the palace was very large! Zhao Hui said disappointedly: "But now there is nothing, and these stone frames are left." Li Zhenguo responded: "Yes! They were all burned by the British and French forces, which shows the corruption and incompetence of the Qing Dynasty government! ”
Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo walked a short distance forward, and saw someone taking pictures next to a pile of big stones, Zhao Hui smiled and said to Li Zhenguo: "Let's go take pictures too!" Li Zhenguo nodded and said with a smile: "Hmm! Not forgetting the national shame, we went to the stone to take pictures. They came to a large stone shaped like a lotus, and Li Zhenguo said to Zhao Hui: "You stand there, I'll take a picture of you." Zhao Hui stood next to the big stone, Li Zhenguo picked up the camera and took a picture of Zhao Hui, and then he walked to Zhao Hui and handed her the camera and said, "You take a picture of me!" Zhao Hui took the camera, took a few steps back and said, "Stand up!" It's a photo, eggplant---" Li Zhenguo smiled, and Zhao Hui pressed the shutter of the camera.
They continued to walk forward and unconsciously came to Qichun Garden. Zhao Hui said to Li Zhenguo while looking at the introduction of the ruins: "This is Qichun Garden, Qichun Garden is large-scale, with an area of thousands of acres, and the two emperors of Daoguang and Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty often live in this garden. There are many scenery groups in the garden, Jiaqing once wrote a poem "Thirty Views of Qichun Garden", but unfortunately when the British and French troops burned the Old Summer Palace, Qichun Garden was destroyed. Li Zhenguo took Zhao Hui's hand and said, "Let's go!" Check it out there. ”
Zhao Hui followed Li Zhenguo to the east, and they came to the ruins of Changchun Garden. There is a large lake in the south of Changchun Garden, the turquoise water ripples with the wind, and there are willow trees reflected in the water by the lake, the scenery is still very beautiful, giving people a feeling of spring.
Zhao Hui said strangely: "Why is it like spring?" Look at the ripples of this lake, how beautiful! Li Zhenguo said with a smile: "So this garden is called Changchun Garden!" Zhao Hui suddenly realized: "Oh! Sure enough! The ancient gardens of our country are truly magical! It's so well designed, hey! Take me a picture! Li Zhenguo took out his camera and said, "I forgot to take a picture of you just by looking at the scenery." Zhao Hui smiled, and after Li Zhenguo waited for Zhao Hui to stand up, he said, "Take it, smile." Zhao Hui smiled again, and Li Zhenguo took a picture of her. Zhao Hui stepped forward, took the camera and said, "I'll take a picture of you!" Li Zhenguo said "um" and said with a smile: "You can take a picture of me!" Zhao Hui retorted: "How can this work? I'm going to take a good picture of you. Li Zhenguo smiled and said, "Okay! You take a picture of me. Zhao Hui agreed "um", raised the camera, and took a photo of Li Zhenguo.
They came to the gate of the Changchun Garden again, and they saw a stone shadow wall in front of them, as well as a stone gate and a stone pillar. Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo read the introduction and knew that there was a main hall here, and there were five wings with the hall in the east and west, and the five wings were used for Emperor Qianlong to recite the scriptures. Emperor Qianlong wanted to live here after abdicating, but due to the catastrophe and destruction, even the magnificent palace was gone.
Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo looked up and saw a high platform as big as a rockery in front of them, and many adults and children were climbing up, so Zhao Hui took Li Zhenguo's hand and said, "Let's go, let's climb up and have a look." Li Zhenguo smiled and said, "Okay! Go up there and take a look. ”
At this time, the wind rose, and the steeper the road became, and it was difficult to climb up in the end, Li Zhenguo went up first, he reached out to pull Zhao Hui, Zhao Hui stretched out his hand, and with the help of Li Zhenguo's pull her, she climbed to the top of the stage.
The platform was huge, and they looked at it on all sides, and the winter landscape seemed vast and desolate. Because of the strong wind, they stood on it for a while and then went down.
Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo came to the Changchun Garden Western Building Scenic Area again, the emperor in order to have fun, also built some imitation European garden buildings in the north, by the harmonious curiosity, the line of the bridge, the ten thousand flower array, the bird cage, the square appearance, the Haiyan Hall, the Yuanying view, the big water law, the water view method, the line law mountain and the line law wall, etc. Many of the buildings had large fountains, so the Old Summer Palace was called the "Versailles of China" by a foreign missionary. The Wanhua Array in the Western Building Scenic Area is very famous, and it has now been completed. Zhao Hui looked at the introduction and said to Li Zhenguo with a smile: "The Ten Thousand Flowers Array is also called the Labyrinth, and it is also called the Yellow Flower Array. Its door is in the shape of a table clock, there is a stone pavilion in the center of the labyrinth, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor sits in the pavilion, the palace maids carry the yellow lotus lantern in their hands from the mouth of the labyrinth, if which palace maid arrives at the pavilion first, the lotus lantern is presented to the Qianlong Emperor, she can be rewarded. Li Zhenguo let out an "oh". Zhao Hui smiled and said, "I think it's fun, I'm going to go in and play, you can come in and play too, right?" Zhao Hui walked in quickly, and Li Zhenguo followed in. Zhao Hui walked for a while, ran for a while, and soon arrived under the pavilion, at this time Li Zhenguo also arrived, he smiled and said to Zhao Hui: "You stand in the pavilion, I will take a picture of you." Zhao Hui said suspiciously: "What about taking pictures?" Li Zhenguo nodded and said, "Shine!" You stand inside, and I'll take your picture. Zhao Hui walked up the steps and entered the pavilion, Li Zhenguo picked up the camera and took a photo of Zhao Hui. Zhao Hui walked down the steps and said, "I'll take a picture of you too!" Li Zhenguo shook his head and said, "The person is too small, so he won't take care of it." Zhao Hui said "oh", and walked out of the maze with Li Zhenguo.
Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo walked towards the gate of the Old Summer Palace, and Zhao Hui said with emotion: "How much manpower and material resources have been spent on such a large palace-like garden!" The British and French forces actually burned down the Old Summer Palace, which is really a great shame for our country! Li Zhenguo also sighed and said: "Yes! The burning of the Old Summer Palace by the Anglo-French forces left us Chinese people with reflection; what they destroyed was only the architectural achievements of the working people, but they could not destroy the wisdom and thinking of the working people, nor the industrious and courageous character of the working people; moreover, its negative effect was to arouse the patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese people, and it was the responsibility of every Chinese to safeguard the dignity of the country and the territorial integrity of the country. Zhao Hui said approvingly: "You are right, the ruins of the Old Summer Palace have aroused the patriotic enthusiasm of our people!" This is a witness of history and a shame for our country, and it will always inspire people not to forget the national shame, to be self-reliant, to learn endlessly, and to strive for progress......"
When they walked out of the Old Summer Palace, Li Zhenguo asked Zhao Hui: "Are you hungry?" Go eat and don't go hungry. Zhao Hui nodded and said, "Hmm! I'm hungry, let's go eat. Li Zhenguo smiled and walked forward with his hand around Zhao Hui's shoulder. Zhao Hui was very happy, looking at Li Zhenguo while walking, their eyes met softly, Zhao Hui stopped and said, "Kiss me!" Li Zhenguo also stopped, looked at Zhao Hui's longing eyes, lowered his head to kiss her, Zhao Hui hugged Li Zhenguo, they kissed each other, after a while, they stopped, Li Zhenguo straightened Zhao Hui's messy long hair, took her shoulders and walked to a restaurant on the side of the road......
