North of Mohe丨The last day in the north

My upper berth was a college student who had just gone on winter vacation. Early in the morning, he had already gone out to catch the train home. When I woke up, the weak sunlight diffused on the frozen windows, "It's winter in the north." I sighed.

I enter my last day in the North.

There was no one in the youth hostel. At this point, it was too late for the aunties and the people who were driving or for fun. They all left. I was left. After washing up slowly, I took photos of the last moments in the youth hostel and packed my bags. ,leave.

Today's plan is probably to take advantage of the few hours before the plane takes off to visit the Shenyang Forbidden City, visit the September 18th History Museum, and walk along the way to see the city. But first, let’s eat. On the way from the youth hostel to the bus stop, I came across a steaming burrito shop. I ordered the same thing as the person in front of me. You can never go wrong by copying the local people's "food homework" when you are out. The burritos here are filled with various shredded vegetables and pork. It was the first time I tried it and I thought it was delicious.

Good morning

Shenyang Forbidden City

If I hadn't been to Shenyang, I wouldn't have known that there was a Forbidden City in Shenyang. History textbooks didn't teach me this, or I didn't study it seriously. Nurhaci established Hetuala as the capital in 1616 and moved the capital to Liaoyang in 1621. Soon after, the capital was moved to Shenyang and renamed Shengjing. In 1644, Beijing was established as the capital and remained there until the fall of the Qing Dynasty. During this period in Shenyang, the Dazheng Hall and the Ten King Pavilions were built in the center of the old city, where political affairs were discussed, which was the beginning of the construction of the Shenyang Forbidden City. After several years of decoration and expansion, in the first year of Chongde (1636), Huang Taiji changed the name of the country to "Qing" and officially determined the name of the palace. The original palace was upgraded to a veritable imperial home and became the core area of the Shenyang Forbidden City. Until the death of Huang Taiji, the Shengjing Palace had always been the political, military, economic and cultural center of the Qing Dynasty. (Most undergraduate science students are really ignorant.)

In the end, I didn’t go into the Forbidden City and walked around. I just walked along the street outside and then continued towards the bus stop. The Forbidden City happens to be near the Youth Hostel, so it’s a good idea to walk around and have a look. I want to leave more time for my next destination - the September 18th History Museum.

September 18th History Museum

I got off the bus one stop earlier and continued walking.

Regarding the war, our emotions are extremely complicated, especially as a Chinese. Everything I learned about modern history in history class was unbelievable or unacceptable to me. We have experienced peaceful days for more than ten years. Suddenly one day, the teacher told us that seventy years ago, we experienced such a thing...

We experienced hating Japan. Later, my high school classmate and I found some precious information in the library. "Hate" is not the best choice.

"You must go back alive and tell them that they want peace, not war." Tanaka Masatoshi wrote the words of his comrades before they died in the book.

All is quiet, at least for now. At the end, the monument is engraved with: "We wish peace for mankind in the world."

I sincerely hope that peace and love will be the eternal theme of this world.
