Chapter 948 Raising the National Flag
In the underground passage, there are foreign tourists speaking various accents, and some blond foreign tourists, obviously all of them came to watch the national flag raising. Most of the people wore ordinary clothes, and some wore various national costumes including Hanfu. Among them were young couples, middle-aged couples, some supporting the elderly, some holding infants in their arms, and some even wearing hospital gowns. Probably because even when you come to the capital for medical treatment, you still want to realize your dream of visiting the national flag. Everyone rushes through the underground passage, full of excitement and anticipation.
Seeing this scene, Fina also murmured in her heart. She was not interested in raising the national flag, and thought it was nothing more than raising the flag on the flagpole. What's so interesting about it? But there are so many people watching, it can't be that these people are all fools, right?
"This... is this the most famous square in the world?"
"Is this the imperial city in ancient China?"
"Quack! So big! So white!"
When they came to the square through the underground passage, the elves were all stunned. They had never seen such a large square, and people standing here looked very inconspicuous.
The red-lacquered and glazed-roofed city tower is located on the central axis of the capital, and there are no particularly tall buildings around it. Against the backdrop of the square, everything looks low but stable.
The wing-like flowing cloud pattern on the white marble watch reminds Fermas of the Victory Column in Berlin, but the one sitting on the watch is not the goddess of victory, but the strange animal Shiji who looks like both a lion and a unicorn.
It was the first time for Fina to see the imperial city in ancient China. Compared with the imperial palace in ancient Egypt, the architectural style of ancient China is not a gorgeous and beautiful route, but it is thick, solemn and solemn everywhere. The ingenious craftsmanship is used to prove something, but the vast area is used to lay out the sense of vast land and abundant resources.
Looking at the city tower full of historical rise and fall, Lao Cha felt in his heart, and murmured: "Sadly, where the Qin and Han scriptures traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces have been turned into dirt..."
Other elves didn't feel so deeply, but they were also shocked by the majesty of the square.
Zhang Zian signaled them to keep their voices down with his eyes, so that the armed police all over the square would not hear cats barking, dogs barking and birds singing, and then followed Richard's line of sight to see what was so big and white... It turned out that someone Bring a steamed bun.
In the early morning, the lights in the square had not been completely extinguished, and the sky was gray, not as dark as when they first set off.
The tourists all stretched their necks and squeezed forward desperately, trying to seize the most favorable terrain before the flag raising started, and almost squeezed out all their shit, only Zhang Zian did not squeeze forward, and leisurely chose a place far away but not crowded. less location.
Today is neither a festival nor a holiday, but even so, there are still an endless stream of tourists who come to visit the flag raising.
Tourists buzzed and chatted, looking at the morning light in the east from time to time, waiting for the moment when the sun rose.
It's about half past five.
"It's coming! It's coming! It's about to start!" Someone shouted in a low voice.
Looking on tiptoe, Zhang Zian saw that the guard of honor of the three armed forces had appeared, lined up neatly with steel guns on their shoulders, and Xiong Jiu strode across the Jinshui Bridge in high spirits. The guard of honor of the three services gathered very quickly, and even few of the tourists present noticed when they appeared.
"Quack! They're all handsome guys!" Richard simply jumped onto Zhang Zian's head and stared with wide eyes.
"What do you think, it's called the first Asian men's group!" Zhang Zian warned: "If you dare to shit, I will beat you out of shit!"
The members of the guard of honor of the three armed forces were all about the same size and shape, with upright and serious faces, and their movements were uniform. Suddenly they looked like they were carved out of a mold.
The tourists crowded forward even more. If there were no railings in front of them and armed police watching over them, they might have rushed to the flagpole for a closer look.
People are tall and short, and they come early or late. Tall people stand in front and tiptoe in order to get a better view. It is difficult for people behind to see clearly, so many people hold their mobile phones high.
Record the scene with your mobile phone, and enjoy it when you go back.
Smart people have already prepared selfie sticks and raised their phones higher.
There is even a young girl who rides on her boyfriend's neck just to get a better view... Hey, that's foul!
The boyfriend bows his head and is willing to be a bully for his sister. He would rather not watch it himself, but also meet the requirements of his sister.
"How did you do it so neatly?" Fina asked in amazement.
"Practice, practice in winter and practice in summer and summer. By the way, if it happens to be a major festival, there will be a military band behind the guard of honor, which will be more beautiful." Zhang Zian replied.
Lao Cha looked around and asked, "Zian, everyone is taking pictures, why don't you take pictures with your mobile phone as a souvenir?"
Zhang Zian shrugged, and replied: "The national flag is raised for viewing, not for taking photos. Just keep it with your eyes as a souvenir."
Old Cha was startled, not understanding what he meant.
The guard of honor of the three armed forces walked to the flagpole with a positive step, walked to the base of the flagpole like wild goose wings, and stood at attention on the left and right. Only three flag raisers walked up to the base and hung the flag.
While playing the national anthem, the flag raiser pressed the button to raise the national flag high, and the honor guards of the three armed forces saluted at the same time.
The cool morning wind blew the national flag, making the surface of the flag ripple like water.
The heads and mobile phones of the tourists present were all slowly raised along with the national flag, but the noisy conversation was still heard, and some people were laughing. It was difficult to hear the accompaniment of the national anthem clearly from a distance.
At this moment, a childish voice suddenly sounded from the corner of the square. It turned out that a group of elementary school students who were undergoing patriotic education also came to visit the national flag raising. The teacher who led the team was afraid that they might get hurt, so he didn't let them squeeze forward, but stood in another corner not far from Zhang Zian. This group of primary school students may be from other places. They wore bright red scarves on their chests and spoke with a strong foreign accent. Under the leadership and organization of their teachers, they sang the national anthem with jagged childish voices to the beat.
The noise of the tourists was stagnant.
Under the attention of everyone, this group of elementary school students felt very embarrassed and sang even more out of tune. A few shy little girls even lowered their heads and fiddled with the corners of their clothes, feeling ashamed of their accents.
Although the teachers tried their best to encourage them and cheer them on, their voices became lower and lower, and their voices became more and more chaotic.
"Get up! People who don't want to be slaves!"
"Forge our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall!"
Zhang Zian, who was standing nearby, looked at them silently, then suddenly opened his mouth and sang the national anthem together. After all, he was an adult with a loud voice, which immediately attracted the attention of this group of elementary school students and more people.
He was dressed in ordinary clothes and stood relatively close to the primary school students. The tourists thought he was one of the teachers leading the group, while the teachers and primary school students leading the group thought he was an ordinary tourist.
Zhang Zian's voice was often ridiculed for being tone-deaf, and he seldom sang. At this time, he sang along as if no one else was around, and no one laughed at his ugly voice.
"The Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous time!"
"Everyone is forced to give a final roar!"
Encouraged by his actions, the elementary school students quickly got rid of their shyness, held their chests up and continued to sing, and a few boys who were usually naughty even yelled at them hoarsely, which made the teachers admire.
"Get up! Get up! Get up!"
More tourists put down their phones and sang along loudly.
No one looked at Zhang Zian anymore, and no one looked at the group of elementary school students anymore. The focus of everyone's eyes was only one, which was the rising five-star red flag.
All kinds of accents, even unfamiliar Chinese, were all mixed together, echoing over the square, and the few remaining noises were completely drowned out by the raging national anthem.
"We are all of one mind,"
"Fighting the enemy's artillery fire, go forward!"
"Fighting the enemy's artillery fire, go forward!"
"Go! Go, go!"
