Standing on top of the Oriental Pearl, Ankang's body and mind have a sense of transparency. He felt as if his mind was wandering between reality and illusion. This truth comes from the reinforced concrete he saw with his own eyes, from the high-rise buildings or low-rise bungalows he saw with his own eyes, and from the Huangpu River, which only knows how to bury his head in the sea. It's all about space.

Unreal, on the other hand, is time-related. His body seemed to be completely cut off from his mind at the moment. The body is always in the present, while the mind is moving between the past, present, and future. But this feeling is completely different from the soul flying. The soul is passive, uncontrollable, and instinctively resisted, while the dissociation of the mind at this time is active, controllable, and fully accepted by instinct. This is a kind of warm bathing for the soul, which makes the soul lighter and lighter, and has a feeling of floating upward. It's as if the mind is suddenly lifted up into the sky by a big hand, and the body is dragging the mind to prevent it from leaving.

This separation is very confusing for Ankang. He wanted to be immersed in such a state without being disturbed. At this point, however, it is impossible not to be disturbed.

Cheng Gong patted Ankang's shoulder, pointed up with his hand and asked, "Do you know how high this tower is going to be?" ”

An Kang looked up and shook his head. He has no concept of height.

"More than 400 meters." Cheng Gong glanced upwards and introduced to Ankang and Lin Mushuang: "This TV tower was only proposed ten years ago. Many Shanghai residents have been looking forward to the completion of this tower, which will improve the quality of television and radio viewing in the suburbs. ”

These words are deeply touching to An Kang and Lin Mushuang from Zhoupu. The TV signal at home is not bad, but the radio signal is not of any quality.

Ankang asked: "When you decided to build this tower ten years ago, you planned to build it so high?" ”

"Yes."

Ankang was surprised: "Ten years ago, we were going to build a 400-meter-high building. Could the technology have reached that time? ”

Cheng Gong smiled and said, "Yes, why not." There is a TV tower in Wuhan, on the edge of the Yangtze River. The tower, which is more than 200 meters high and nearly 300 meters high, was built ten years ago. Our country's construction technology has long reached the level of building high-rise buildings. However, there are still some differences with foreign countries. You know the Empire State Building, right? ”

An Kang and Lin Mushuang nodded.

"That almost 400-metre tall building was built 60 years ago."

Of course, Ankang knows that the standard of construction abroad is much higher than that of China. It's just that when I heard that China itself has the ability to build high-rise buildings, I was still a little surprised.

Cheng Gong said: "In recent years, our country's construction technology has also advanced by leaps and bounds. We are constantly learning foreign advanced technology, and we are constantly approaching foreign advanced technology. Maybe one day it will be taller and better than the buildings built by foreigners. ”

"Really?" An Kang and Lin Mushuang are looking forward to it.

Of course, the advancement of building technology has also put forward higher requirements for architectural design. Frost has to study hard. Don't even know or understand our newly mastered technology. It would be a shame to design a bunch of backward things when the time comes. ”

Lin Mushuang nodded: "Hmm." In addition to learning about drawing and design, I also need to learn architectural techniques. ”

Cheng Gong said to Ankang: "Your sister studied architectural design, wouldn't it be good if you studied architectural technology?" Have you decided on the major you want to study in college? ”

Cheng Gong's words made Ankang very moved, but Ankang still told Cheng Gong truthfully: "I discussed with my uncle that I might want to study economics-related majors." ”

"Economy." Cheng Gong seemed to have a look of disappointment on his face, but the expression was fleeting, "If you are studying architecture, I can give you some references." In terms of economy, I know six out of seven - I don't know anything about it. Hahaha. ”

It was getting late, and An Kang and Lin Mushuang reluctantly got down from the Oriental Pearl, and reluctantly left on the bus looking at the unfinished tall building.

The two seemed to have a lot to say along the way, but after a short conversation, they fell silent.

Lin Mushuang's silence is partly because of today's visual impact, and partly because of the responsibility she will shoulder.

Part of An Kang's silence was also due to the visual impact, but the other part was still recalling the feeling when he stood on the Oriental Pearl just now. That feeling seemed to disappear the moment Cheng Gong patted him on the shoulder. It's as if you're having a dream and you're being woken up by someone unintentionally. Some helpless but helpless.

A few days later, Ankang finally washed the photos taken on Lujiazui and the Oriental Pearl. He excitedly took it home for everyone to see. Lin Mushuang looked at the photo and was as excited as Ankang, explaining to her uncle where this is and what it is. The uncle took the photos handed by Lin Mushuang and looked at them one by one, nodding his head each time. After watching them all, he said, "It's a good shot!" So he went into his room.

An Kang pointed to the back of his uncle's departure and glanced at Lin Mushuang.

Lin Mushuang pursed her lips and motioned to go to Ankang's room to speak.

"There was a quarrel." Lin Mushuang said after closing the door.

"Who are you arguing with?"

"Who else can you talk to? And my mom. ”

"And my aunt? Why? In Ankang's impression, his uncle and aunt rarely seem to be red-faced, let alone quarrel.

Lin Mushuang shook her head: "I don't understand." Say something about yours or mine. ”

"Does it have anything to do with the store or the garment factory?"

"It's not. It's not about the current thing, it seems to be more than ten years ago. My mom kept nagging, and my dad didn't say anything. ”

"Oh." An Kang responded, "What happened more than ten years ago, it has nothing to do with us." Leave it alone. ”

"Uh-huh." Of course, Lin Mushuang didn't care about those things that had nothing to do with her, and asked Ankang, "How did you learn your songs?" ”

"What song?"

"Oops, you forgot? Didn't you learn Leslie Cheung's "The Love of the Year"? ”

Ankang seemed to remember this and squeaked and said, "I...... I don't know Cantonese. ”

"Who's going to do it? Isn't it true that everyone learns from tapes over and over again? Your voice really looks like Leslie Cheung's. You sang "When the Wind Rises" that day. By the way, you can also learn "When the Wind Rises". ”

"Huh? Do you want to learn that? ”

"What's wrong with that? If you don't learn, forget it. You should learn the Cantonese in "The Love of the Year" first. ”
