Crossing the Great Wall

#Great Wall#

one

It was already noon when we arrived at the foot of the Great Wall. Considering that we had to take the 5:30 S2 line, we were worried about not having enough time, so we went to the dome theater first. With the so-called "dome + 3D + dynamic" technology, we can return to the Great Wall of "once upon a time". Dark clouds are rolling over the city, rain and snow are coming, horses are neighing, 筚篯 are wailing, and wolf smoke is everywhere. At that moment, my mind was full of things like "Don't you see the horses and rivers walking along the snowy seaside, and the flat sands are vast and yellow into the sky", "Don't laugh when you are lying drunk on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times", and "direct explanations of the battlefield" "If you die for your country, why should you return your body wrapped in horse leather?" What is a "hero"? Some people say that they go to the battlefield in order to achieve success and fame that will last forever. I always feel that this is too simple. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a general or a soldier. It’s not just talk about throwing one’s head and blood. Who doesn’t cherish the idea of ​​serving the country and the people? The great righteousness and the courage to risk life and death for the righteousness. With these two points, in my opinion, he can be called a "hero". In this era when you can take off your shirt and indulge in visiting the territory of the motherland, the definition of "hero" has been broadened a lot. Being a hero does not necessarily require bloodshed. But after all, we can't escape from that sense of justice and courage. Writing this, I thought of the word "little fresh meat". I have always been disgusted by this word. Those "idols" who should be masculine but wear heavy makeup and pretend to be weak, will climbing the Great Wall inspire people? A share of blood and heroism?

When the general died in battle, Yan Ji committed suicide, the flag fell horizontally, and the dead body supported it. After all the sounds on the battlefield were silent, there were only red-eyed wild dogs and mournful crows devouring someone's "Spring Dreamer". I think the heroes on the battlefield also feel helpless. They want to kill the enemy and serve the country, but they also look forward to returning to their fields and taking back the tea brewed by their beloved wives. How sad it is for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person to his parents, and how sad it is for his wife to have someone on his pillow turn into a loyal soul at any time. Walking in the corridor of the Great Wall Museum, the commentator in front was chattering about the wisdom of the ancient people. My heart was filled with sadness. Am I sad that I was born in troubled times? Are you sad that he became a border guard? Are you sad that he was captured and used to build the Great Wall? Who knows, I just say silently in my heart over and over: peace, peace, peace.

I climbed to the eighth floor in one breath and could finally have a good rest. Everyone was frantically taking photos, calling friends, holding flags, posing, and shouting. Away from the crowd, sitting on the city wall, it seems that you can touch the temperature of an emperor, point out the country, and cook wine and discuss heroes. The sky is very blue, and there is a group of eagles or crows flying in the upper left corner. Try to look far away. Although you can't see the end of the Great Wall, you still want to see thousands of years of history. Two thousand years ago, the First Emperor of Qin opened up the world and built the Great Wall on the land of this vast country. This wall divided the boundary between the land of etiquette and the wilderness, and it also led to the birth of countless kings. Heroes from all walks of life rose up and competed in the Central Plains. Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Zong of Tang and Song Dynasty, who are not heroes on horseback? It is a pity that Song Huizong was able to create a thin golden body and paint beautiful landscapes, but he could not preserve the Zhao family. The Jingkang crisis became the greatest shame for the Song people. The towering Great Wall is not worth the iron heel of Genghis Khan. Later, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty killed Yuan Chonghuan and destroyed the Great Wall. Wu Sangui became a beauty, and the Great Wall collapsed in front of the Eight Banners cavalry. No ​​matter how strong the Great Wall is, it cannot protect the weak dynasty of the incompetent emperor, nor can it protect the closed and conservative country of thousands of miles.

When we arrived at the North 10th floor, there were fewer and fewer people, and the sun was about to set. The two fat uncles decided to take the children and continue moving forward. They firmly believed that they would return to their original place after climbing to the North 12th floor. We and an American couple decided to go down from the North 10th floor. It took a long time to walk to the ticket office. It was very cold, so we hurried to the S2 train station. The train station was very small and already crowded with people. I could no longer feel my hands, so I took my empty mineral water bottle and filled half of the bottle with hot water. I hugged it for a while before it warmed up. Looking around the room of people, hey, over there is the old couple who kept warning us not to be deceived by scalpers when we came here. Over there is the little brother who looked at Junichi Watanabe while waiting for the bus. Over there are the three brothers buying military hats. , isn’t that the young lady who first wore high heels and then climbed the Great Wall barefoot? Also, is there an uncle who laughs at my poor physical fitness? It seems that there are no two fat uncles. I don’t know if they have returned to the original point. What is the end of North Twelve? In short, the people in this small room gave me a warm feeling of revolutionary comrades.
