After leaving the school, Song Yuanchao drove northwest with Lu Jun in his car.

This car belongs to Luo Yang. Luo Yang got a Lada some time ago. I don’t know where he got it from. Lada is considered a luxury car in this era, and there are not many in the entire Yanjing City.

Song Yuanchao asked Luo Yang to borrow the car because he had something to do these days. However, the car was not left on campus. After all, driving a car into the campus was too ostentatious, so Song Yuanchao parked the car not far from the school.

Lu Jun never expected that Song Yuanchao actually had a car, and he was sitting in an imported Lada. Lu Jun was surprised and couldn't help but be very curious about the car under his butt. Not to mention sitting in such a good car, he was so

I have never seen one in my life. You must know that even the high-ranking county officials in their hometown now only ride in jeeps like 212.

Although there is no expressway yet, national highways have long existed. In addition, there are few vehicles and there are no traffic jams. Going northwest, the speed of the car is not slow.

To the northwest from Capital University is the Ming Tombs, and further ahead is Yanqing.

There is a famous scenic spot in that direction, which is Badaling. However, the place where Song Yuanchao took Lu Jun today is not Badaling, but not far from Badaling.

After passing the Ming Tombs, Song Yuanchao turned onto another small road and continued driving forward. He stopped and got out of the car to ask a local fellow for directions, and then continued to get in the car and walk along the small road.

After driving like this for another half an hour, the place became increasingly remote. Lu Jun didn't know where Song Yuanchao was taking him and couldn't help but ask.

"We'll be there soon. Don't worry, we won't sell you to others as their son." Song Yuanchao deliberately joked with Lu Jun. Lu Jun was also happy and couldn't help but laugh out loud. But just after he finished laughing, he seemed to think of his own.

That incident, the smile on his face faded again.

Continuing forward for a while, the road ahead became more and more difficult to drive. Finally, the road ahead could not be driven. Song Yuanchao parked the car aside and asked Lu Jun to get out of the car.

After getting out of the car and locking the door, Song Yuanchao and Lu Jun continued to walk forward. At this time, the road under their feet could no longer be called a real road, just a trodden path.

They walked all the way up for about ten minutes. Just when Lu Jun couldn't help but ask where he was going, Song Yuanchao, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned around to greet Lu Jun who was lagging behind: "We're here!"

"What's here? This is..." Lu Jun continued walking without stopping and asked doubtfully, but before he could finish speaking, when he walked onto the high ground in front, he was suddenly shocked by the scenery in front of him.

.

What appeared in front of him was an extremely spectacular scenery. Looking across the mountains, he saw the towering Great Wall, the tall towers nearby, the long ancient roads at his feet, and the vast mountains in the distance.

In such a majestic scenery, Lu Jun was shocked and speechless for a moment. Faced with this, he suddenly felt that he was so insignificant and insignificant compared to what he saw.

Song Yuanchao visited this place in his previous life. Compared with the Badaling Scenic Area, this place is just a "wild Great Wall". But compared with the regular scenic spots, the Great Wall here can make people truly feel its greatness and majesty, and feel the oncoming waves.

The suffocating atmosphere of history.

"Let's go over and have a look." Song Yuanchao pointed to the nearest gate building and said. Lu Jun made several meaningless sounds in his throat and followed Song Yuanchao in a daze as he continued walking forward.

This piece of wild Great Wall looks generally intact from a distance, but when you get closer, you find that many places have been damaged or even collapsed. However, Song Yuanchao did not take Lu Jun to go too far, and just followed the path at his feet to the Guanlou in front. This area

Local villagers in the area often come here to herd sheep and cut firewood, and usually come to rest during their breaks, so safety is not a problem.

Guanlou looks very close, but there is indeed some distance there, and it is not easy going up.

It took the two of them some time to finally climb up the gate tower. This gate tower has been in disrepair after thousands of years of wind and rain, and now only a rough outline remains.

When they went up to Guanlou, the sun had already set in the west. They stood on the Great Wall and looked into the distance. The setting sun dyed the mountains and the majestic Great Wall among the mountains into a golden color. A group of birds flew past in the sky, faintly visible in the distance.

There was also an eagle cry...

Looking at the scenery in front of him, Lu Jun didn't know what to say for a while. At this moment, he deeply felt the greatness and majesty of it all.

"Do you know who built the Great Wall?" Song Yuanchao and Lu Jun stood side by side, looking into the distance, and suddenly asked.

"Isn't he Qin Shihuang?" Lu Jun replied subconsciously.

"Yes and no." Song Yuanchao lit up a cigarette and said while smoking: "The original Great Wall was built by Yan, Zhao, Qi and Qin during the Warring States Period. The area under our feet belonged to

The land of Yan and Zhao, in other words, is the territory of Yan and Zhao."

"After Qin Shihuang swept away Liuhe and unified the world, he reconnected the Great Walls of these countries to resist the aliens from the north, thus forming the prototype of the Great Wall of later generations."

"But the Great Wall we see now is no longer the Great Wall of Qin. After thousands of years of history, the Great Wall of Qin during the Qin Shihuang period has long been beyond recognition, and only some relics can be preserved in very few places. And now, the Great Wall under our feet is from the Ming Dynasty

The Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, but even so, it has a history of hundreds of years..."

Speaking of this, Song Yuanchao said with emotion: "The Great Wall is still there today, but Qin Shihuang is nowhere to be seen..."

"Yes, compared to the depth of history, life is only a short period of a hundred years." Lu Jun, who was affected by all this, couldn't help but say.

Patting Lu Jun on the shoulder, Song Yuanchao said: "You are right. It took several generations or even more than a dozen generations to build the Great Wall. Every stone brick was mined from the mountains bit by bit by hand and then slowly built. But

In the blink of an eye, will people still remember the people who built the Great Wall here?"

"When everyone mentions the Great Wall, they only think of Qin Shihuang, or they think of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Chengzu Zhu Di, or at most there is Meng Jiangnu who cried down the Great Wall. Apart from these, those thousands of people who actually built the Great Wall and left behind this great building

How many ordinary people have left their names?"

"A hundred years of life pass by in a blink of an eye, and after a hundred years it will be just a handful of loess. But people are different. Some people live a mediocre life, so what if they live a hundred years? And some people live a mediocre life, so what?

People can leave a profound mark in history. Compared with these outstanding people, ordinary people are just ordinary people."

Breathing out a cloud of smoke, Song Yuanchao smiled: "You only have one life. Instead of living it mediocrely, it's better to work hard. Whether you can do something is one thing, but whether you do it or not is another matter. Lao Liu

"Compared with these, what are the things you encountered? Don't forget that you are a college student and the proud son of this era! You are also the future of this country!"

Song Yuanchao waved his hand and pointed forward, full of pride: "Now, we are facing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and an era of change! A man should live his life to the fullest and face difficulties head-on, so as not to leave any regrets.

"

At this time, Lu Jun understood why Song Yuanchao brought him here. While he was shocked by the scenery in front of him, the words Song Yuanchao said also spoke deeply to his heart.

Yes! Compared to the Great Wall in front of us, what do those historical figures who have passed away and what they have experienced mean nothing?

The spring breeze of reform and opening up has been blowing across the earth. The ivory tower is not a closed Garden of Eden. As a college student, Lu Jun can also feel these changes and their impact.

Looking back on his original intention of working hard to get into college, Lu Jun had the idea of ​​going to college to change himself, but he also had the passion and ideals of a young man.

But now, Lu Jun's mere emotional changes made Lu Jun almost pull out the horns. This made Lu Jun feel extremely guilty. Looking back on this, Lu Jun didn't know how he could change his original intention and how he could become addicted to feelings.

But he forgot his original intention.

Only by never forgetting your original intention can you achieve success.

After all, people must have ideals. Ask yourself what your ideals are? Is it your wife and children who live on the hot bed? Or is it like those households with ten thousand yuan that pursue the satisfaction of money? For a while, Lu Jun seemed to understand a little, but then he seemed to be more confused.

Standing quietly and looking into the distance, Lu Jun was a little crazy for a moment. His expression kept changing, with a frown on his face one moment, and a look of confusion on the next...

I don't know how long it took, but Lu Jun's eyebrows gradually relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face, a faint smile.

Song Yuanchao on the side noticed the change in his expression, but did not disturb his thoughts, and just accompanied him quietly. When Lu Jun's smile gradually became firmer, Song Yuanchao's initial worry turned into a smile.

"Third brother, thank you, thank you for bringing me here."

"We are brothers, aren't we?" Song Yuanchao didn't ask Lu Jun if he had figured it out, because Lu Jun's expression had already given him the answer.

Lu Jun smiled and nodded vigorously. Although Song Yuanchao did not enlighten him as pointedly as others, he used this method to make him feel the meaning of life, thus completely coming out of the depression of lovelorn. In this regard, Lu Jun said:

Song Yuanchao was extremely grateful, but there were some words that didn't need to be said. If you don't say thank you for your kindness, Lu Jun would remember everything today.

It's getting late, and when the sun sets completely, the way back will be difficult.

Now that Lu Jun had thought about it, Song Yuanchao accompanied Lu Jun to take another look at the sunset, and the two of them turned around and walked back.

When their car went back along the way they came, the sky gradually darkened. It was already evening when they returned to school. After parking the car outside the school, Song Yuanchao and Lu Jun found a place to eat outside the school.

After eating a bowl of noodles, they strolled back to campus in the car. When they were approaching the dormitory, Sun Yaoliang appeared out of nowhere.

"Third brother! Hey, why are you here, Lao Liu?" Sun Yaoliang asked subconsciously when he saw Lu Jun coming back with Song Yuanchao.

"We just happened to meet each other on the way back, what's up? You want to see me for something?" Song Yuanchao replied casually without mentioning anything about Lu Jun.

Sun Yaoliang nodded but said nothing. At this time, Lu Jun said with a smile: "You guys chat, I will go back to the dormitory first." After saying that, Lu Jun walked quickly towards the dormitory building, and soon the figure disappeared at the door of the building.
