But later I realized she was joking with me.[`Novel`]
We spent a whole day shopping in downtown Melbourne today, mainly shopping together. There are many snacks in Melbourne, and the taste is quite unique.
She bought a few skirts for herself in several specialty stores in the city. She asked me to refer to them for her. I thought that maybe this was the main reason why she wanted to buy clothes today.
She didn't object to the money I paid her. In fact, neither she nor I would consider the price of these clothes, because from a certain point of view, money no longer means much to us. She likes those clothes.
And I also think it’s very beautiful, so it’s just right for me to pay the bills. She said that we should spend these days as husband and wife.[
Later, she also selected a few shirts for me, as well as two suits and a windbreaker. The quality of these items was very good, especially the style of the shirts, which looked high-end and grand.
In the evening we ate at a restaurant on the city's riverside, where we still had seafood. To be honest, it would be a waste not to eat seafood in a place like this, because the seafood here is not only delicious but also cheap.
After finishing the meal, we went to the cafe not far away. The coffee here is also very unique, with a rich and mellow taste.
She said to me: "Feng Xiao, let's go out and play tomorrow. In fact, the cities in this foreign country are similar to those in our country. If we look purely at the city's architecture, the modernization of our domestic cities is no worse than that of other countries."
I nodded and said, "Yes. But the ancient buildings abroad are better preserved. This is an attitude, because the inheritance of culture is very important. Unfortunately, our country's damage to culture is too serious."
She asked me: "Are you talking about the Cultural Revolution?"
I said: "Not really. The Chinese civilization has a long history and has inheritance, consistency, and durability that other civilizations in the world do not have. As one of the four major civilizations, the Chinese civilization is the only one that has not been interrupted and is still the comparison of inheritance.
Perfect. However, in the process of development, Chinese civilization has had good development opportunities and has been further enriched and developed. Step by step, Chinese civilization has been fully integrated with the Chinese nation and has become the most fundamental centripetal force that unites the Chinese nation.
.The origin of culture in ancient times, the prosperity of slave society civilization, the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Legalist thought in the Qin Dynasty, the unification of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, metaphysics talks in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the great achievements of thought and high civilization in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty
The development of psychology and the modern civilization that emerged from the intersection of modern East and West, all of this tells us the tradition, inheritance and inclusive development of Chinese civilization. However, throughout the long history of the development of Chinese civilization, several
This inevitable and accidental event played a serious destructive role in the development of Chinese civilization, causing today and Ming Dynasty to lose many excellent and even necessary traditions in some aspects."
She asked me: "Can you tell me more specifically? In fact, I really like listening to things like this, but I don't like studying very much."
I thought to myself, anyway, we are chatting now. It is okay for us to talk about anything together. The content may not be important, but what is important is that we are together. Therefore, anything we talk about is to make our relationship
The room becomes more cozy.
I said: "First, Qin Shihuang burned books and harassed Confucians. Historical records show that after Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, in order to consolidate his rule, he adopted a series of policies to obfuscate the people. This is the famous incident of burning books and harassing Confucians. In this case During the incident, Qin Shihuang ordered the burning of all books outside the Qin Kingdom except for planting, and killed hundreds of Confucian scholars. This caused a great blow to the spread of culture at that time."
She nodded, "I know this."
I continued: "Second, Xiang Yu set fire to the Qin Palace. There are historical records that when he burned books and harassed Confucians, Qin Shihuang still kept a relatively complete collection of various books in the palace. It can be said that after burning books and humiliating Confucians, Qin Shihuang reached In order to prohibit the collection of books among the people. Of course, in fact, during the Middle Qin Dynasty, due to the high cost of silk books, there were very few people with the ability to collect books. A large number of book collections should be in the government. Therefore, some historians believe that, Qin Shihuang's palace should have a relatively complete collection of books. However, after Xiang Yu invaded Xianyang, he set fire to Afang Palace, which caused the book collection in Qin's palace to be burned, and many ideological treatises from the pre-Qin period were lost. The third is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty At that time, he adopted the policy of "exclusively respecting Confucianism and deposing hundreds of schools of thought". In order to establish a set of ideological and theoretical systems suitable for centralized rule, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted Dong Zhongshu's views. On the one hand, Confucianism flourished and the theory of cultural unification was established. The system promoted the prosperity of Confucian culture for thousands of years; at the same time, it also caused the decline and demise of other doctrines, which in turn caused Confucianism to become the dominant one and entered a later period of rigidity in the absence of competition. Fourth, the Song and Ming Dynasties The dominant position of Neo-Confucianism. Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties was another highly developed product of Confucianism. It occupied an absolutely dominant position in the Chinese civilization at that time. However, due to the later period, in order to adapt to the rule of the feudal dynasty, it gradually declined to a rigid and restrictive thinking. The development of people's thinking has caused people to become obedient subjects of feudal rule. The fifth is the literary inquisition of the Qing Dynasty and the compilation of Sikuquanshu. The extensive implementation of the literary inquisition of the Qing Dynasty and the length of time are surprising. Through this high-pressure policy, the Qing Dynasty made people They dared not have their own thoughts and could not have the ability to think independently. At the same time, under the auspices of Emperor Qianlong, the Sikuquanshu was compiled. During the compilation process, the compiler made a large number of deletions and edits to the previous subset of classics and history, and the actual content had already changed Major changes have caused cultural inheritance to be discontinued and cultural understanding to be biased."
She smiled and asked me, "You know a lot."
I smiled and said, "I like to read books when I have nothing to do. I have been used to it for many years."
She smiled and said: "There are not many officials like you who like to study now. In my impression, most officials drink and play cards all day long."
I almost laughed, "Hong Ya, are you too one-sided? Today's officials still like to learn a lot. For example, Governor Huang, Sister Lin, and many leaders and officials I know, they all I like to learn. Our executive deputy mayor of Shangjiang City has a lot of books in his home study, and he is also reading them seriously. Nowadays, the requirements for officials are getting higher and higher, and we must replenish our knowledge base at any time. Update your own knowledge structure. Otherwise, you will not be able to make correct decisions on many things."
She smiled and said: "That's true. You haven't finished speaking just now, right?"
I nodded and continued: "Then came the New Culture Movement, which is often called the 'May Fourth' movement. During the New Culture Movement, in order to stimulate the revolutionary enthusiasm of the Chinese people, Chinese intellectuals excessively criticized traditional culture
.Resulting in blind worship of Western civilization, leading to the mistaken abandonment of many of the best parts of Chinese culture. This caused Chinese civilization to suffer a greater degree of blow. Later, the Cultural Revolution occurred. In this decade, China emerged
A major change. We will not discuss its pros and cons in social development, but it only brought a devastating blow at the level of cultural inheritance. If the New Culture Movement shook the foundation of Chinese civilization, and *****,
It is to knock down this big tree. In this decade, people not only lost their traditional knowledge, but also their traditional virtues, causing the country to fall into a crazy state. Therefore, I feel that in this decade, China
Civilization has formed a fault. This fault was not formed by people, but from the heart, so it is more thorough and more destructive."
She looked at me and smiled, "Why do I think you are reactionary? This is not what someone like you should say. The May Fourth Movement has always been considered by your party to be the beginning of the modern Chinese revolution, but you actually said it was
It’s destroying Chinese culture.”[
I smiled and said: "This is not reactionary, this is a rational analysis and understanding. In fact, our traditional culture is still suffering huge damage in modern times. Some people have said that in modern times our country has only one
This kind of culture is the 'party culture'. It used to be the culture of the Kuomintang, but now it is the culture of the Communist Party."
She shook her head and said, "I don't understand."
I smiled and said, "There is no point in discussing this issue. If we continue to discuss it, I will be really reactionary."
In fact, the so-called "party culture" in the final analysis means "the party should decide everything." Such a culture is certainly conducive to the stability of the regime, but it will inevitably cause huge impact and damage to traditional culture, because when everything is determined by the needs of the party culture,
When standards are measured, much of our traditional culture will disappear.
And this is indeed the case now. Our traditional culture is gradually disappearing, and the Chinese people have no faith. Now that our country has opened the door, the brainwashing party cultural education can no longer work at all, which has caused people's faith to become even more confused.
, so people can only go back to their most primitive desires, which is why people have such a fanatical worship of money as they do today.
The core of "party culture" is actually "feudal". The feudal nature of "party culture" can be seen everywhere, which isolates the party's leaders from lower-level officials, and isolates the party from society. First of all, it is reflected as a feudal hierarchy
change.
"Party culture" is expressed in the form of "slave culture". Superior leaders regard subordinates as "slaves" and pass them down level by level. China's "party culture" is not reflected in the bureaucracy of other countries.
The culture of respecting authority is reflected in the "slave culture" of fearing power and flattering power. Of course, this itself is also part of traditional Chinese culture. Chinese people only have a tradition of fearing or flattering power, but never a tradition of respecting authority.
"Slave culture" has reached its peak. The only thing subordinates want to do is to please their superiors, so they inevitably tell lies. What is the result? Some people have pointed out that telling the truth within the party has become the most difficult thing in the world.
Of course, the speech here is not limited to the ordinary conversations in the process of communication, but is also reflected in the speeches of various leaders within the party, communiqués, policies and other documents that need to be expressed in words. The "party stereotypes"
Documents can only be understood, not expressed. Even experts and scholars can only interpret the information they need to convey between the lines. At the social level, no one can understand these documents. When subordinates cannot understand the documents, they have to go through other
When people use other channels to figure out the intentions of their superiors, when the people cannot understand the documents of the ruling party and try to figure out the intentions of the ruling party through other channels, the communication between the relevant parties is interrupted, and there is no form between them.
The "city wall".
Manifested in actual policy behavior, whether it is decision-making or policy implementation, this culture is manifested as "only for the top" rather than "only for the bottom." From the perspective of the rulers or superiors, they certainly hope that the subordinates can make decisions based on the actual situation at the superior level.
To achieve a balance between policy will and social needs, so that on the one hand, we can obtain policy information that reflects reality from subordinates, and on the other hand, we can enable the policy to be implemented. But in a "top only" culture, subordinates will not consider
When it comes to the actual situation and social needs, many policies neither reflect the actual situation nor can they be implemented. If they are to be enforced, it will inevitably deepen the contradiction between the system and society, thus going against the original will of the rulers and superiors. "Only
Another serious consequence of the "Shang" culture is the "elite elimination", that is, those cadres who think independently and can do things are regarded as aliens and cannot be accepted by their superiors and colleagues.
Related to this is the "party culture" known as the "secretary gang culture". Under any system, secretaries are very important. But China's secretaries have their own feudal characteristics, which are somewhat similar to the "house slaves" of the feudal era.
". China's secretarial gang has a special status. For many leaders, everything can be missing, but secretaries are indispensable. Whether it is their own work, external relations, or even family relations, secretaries are needed. Such a high degree of reliance on secretaries
It is simply the "necessary passage" for some leaders to the outside world. In other words, the secretary is the "castle" of the leader. In this sense, the secretary effectively isolates the leader from the real world. Furthermore, the secretary is also the "castle" of the leader.
The "brain" of leaders. Many leaders are obsessed with trivial matters all day long and have neither interest nor time to think about problems, especially big problems. Therefore, secretaries are needed to be their "brains". Secretaries must think and prepare for the leaders they serve.
All the speech materials of a good leader. In this sense, no wonder some people say that the secretary is the "leader" of the leader. On many occasions, the quality of the secretary determines the success or failure of a leader.
More importantly, the "party culture" that can be fatal to the survival and development of the party is the unregulated power competition within the party. In the feudal era, there was no political competition because royal power was highly monopolistic and belonged to the emperor himself or the emperor.
Family. However, there was disguised competition under the emperor. Competition occurred among members of the emperor's family and among bureaucrats at all levels. In the old days, there was a saying of "cronies". "Cronies" were tools of political competition. Because royal power was monopolized,
In most cases, the emperor has the legitimacy and ability to restrict or even eliminate "crony" politics.
Times are different now. Whether it is the transfer of power at the top or the general "change" or "generation change" of leaders, power is relatively dispersed. Especially after strongman politics, political competition is inevitable. However, there are no clear rules for competition.
The situation is often that the power struggle between the parties often reaches a fever pitch. At the local level, fierce fighting often leads to attacks among party cadres, using real swords and guns, and even "assassinations." Likewise, this
Such "clique culture" has also become popular, and "mountainism", "factions" and "gangs" among cadres have become more and more popular. Competition between gangs often leads to different forms of "fire fights" between them. This
Once this method rises to the central level, it can cause serious damage to the party as a whole. For ordinary people in society, they cannot enjoy any benefits of this method of political competition, but they have to bear its negative consequences.
, or even have negative consequences. In traditional royal societies, palace struggles can harm society. The existence of the modern version of this phenomenon cannot be denied.
All these combined reflect the lack of humanitarianism within the party. Neither the vertical superior-subordinate relationship nor the horizontal political competition can reflect any humanitarian spirit. "Slave culture" means that subordinates are not treated as human beings;
The political competition in which "the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit" will inevitably manifest itself in the ruthless nature of violence.
Once "party culture" extends to society, it will create antagonism between the ruling party and its government and society and the people. The "party culture" mentioned here is not the party's culture in the general sense, but the sole ruling party's culture.
"Party culture" means the internal culture of the rulers. This internal culture of the rulers will inevitably affect the relationship between the rulers and the ruled.
The first is the impact of "non-humanitarianism" within the party on society. If the ruling party does not have humanism within the party, it will naturally be difficult to implement humanism towards society and the people. The core of traditional Chinese philosophy is humanism. But China's people
Humanism is essentially different from Western humanism. Chinese humanism, no matter which version it is, implores officials to treat ordinary people as human beings. Some classic Confucian quotations, such as "Water can carry a boat"
, can also capsize the boat." Another example is "the people are the most valuable, the country is second, the king is the least important" and so on. The subject in it is still the royal power, which means that the royal power must treat the people well for its own benefit. Because Confucianism often regards the king and himself
This group is regarded as the embodiment of morality and is superior to the common people. The monarchs and scholar-bureaucrats are not bound by the law, but can stand above the law. Therefore, China has never been able to produce a legal culture in which everyone is equal before the law.
At best, there is only a legal culture that governs the country through laws. The people are always an object to be controlled. In such a culture, humanitarianism is always an ideal and cannot become a reality.
Western humanism is to design political and social systems based on human nature. Because everyone is evil by nature, laws are needed to restrain everyone, both the rulers and the ruled. Everyone is before the law
Equality, this is the spirit of the modern rule of law.
The feudal "slave culture" within the party extends to society, manifested in the fact that officials often think of themselves as the people's masters or "blue sky masters" and must make decisions for the people. In fact, they regard the people as "slaves." Within the party,
Superiors treat subordinates as "minions". When they reach the lowest rung of the power ladder, grassroots cadres cannot find "minions" within the party, so they have no choice but to treat ordinary people as "minions." The phenomenon of taking out their anger and bullying the people often develops into "officials"
The degree of "forcing people to rebel". The daily conflicts in Chinese society between officials and the society and the people are not only due to material interests, but also a direct reflection of the mentality of officials who despise the people.
Under the influence of such "party culture", many party members show extreme selfishness not only in various relationships within the party, but also in the relationship between the party and its government and society and the people. Party members cannot transcend their own narrow interests.
The ruling party cannot transcend its own narrow interests. Because the Communist Party is the only ruling party, when party members and the ruling party as a whole cannot transcend their selfish interests, they will inevitably be isolated from society and the people.
The problem is that today's society is, after all, very different from the feudal era. The people and the entire society have undergone tremendous changes. In traditional society, both the feudal power "hierarchy" and the "slave culture" have ideologies.
legality; that is to say, this culture is accepted by society and the people. However, today when the people and society themselves do not consider themselves "slaves", when they have a high degree of recognition of political and social equality
, if party and government officials continue to embrace the feudal "party culture", conflicts between them and the people and society will become inevitable.
By now, many people have realized that culture is a kind of soft power. A positive "party culture" helps the party's survival and development, but a negative "party culture" accelerates the party's decline.
Decline. China’s feudal “party culture” is undoubtedly one of the latter. If allowed to continue and develop, this “party culture” will eventually ruin the fate of the ruling party. It is also doubtful that only by vigorously transforming the “party culture” of the ruling party
Culture", de-feudalization, and building a "party culture" based on the rule of law where everyone is equal are the only ways for the ruling party to survive and develop.
I hope that this day can really come. No matter what, I am a part of our country's political power, and I do not want turmoil in my country. I hope that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
In fact, many of our officials are thinking about this issue. Of course, many people are confused and even lose confidence because of this. I remember once, when I was drinking with a director of the Provincial Education Commission, the director said:
He said something: Our political party can exist for at most ten years.[
I was shocked when I heard what he said, because he was an old party member, and I didn't expect him to be so pessimistic. Later I understood that he was actually thinking about such issues, but he took some issues too far.
Just darkness.
Sometimes I think, since people at my level will think about such issues, then people at the top will think about it more. Since people at the top can think of it, then the worst case scenario should not really happen.
This is hope.
She smiled and said to me: "Then let's talk about the arrangements for the next few days."
I looked at her and said with a smile: "I will listen to your arrangement. Just do whatever you say."
She thought for a while and said: "Well, let's go to some attractions tomorrow. To be honest, I also want to go out. After arriving here, I spent a lot of time studying various investment markets here, because there is no one here.
Accompany me, so I haven’t been to many places.”
I nodded, "Okay."
She added: "I will take you to inspect the property market here in the remaining time. Since you have decided to invest here, you should still know about the situation here."
I smiled and shook my head: "That's not necessary. I believe you. If you think it's a good investment here, then there must be no problem."
She looked at me and smiled, "Do you really believe me that much?"
I immediately said: "Of course. Hey! Hong Ya, why do you always ask me this question? Don't you think I should trust you?"
She was startled for a moment, then sighed and said: "Feng Xiao, I am very touched by your words. That's okay, I won't say anything else. Don't worry, I will manage the funds for you well and let your funds be obtained."
Maximum profit."
We stayed in the cafe until nearly midnight before returning to her place. The night view here was so beautiful that I couldn't bear to leave.
Later, Hong Ya came and asked me, "Should we continue to sit here or should we go back now?"
I replied: "Just do whatever you want."
She looked at me and smiled, "Feng Xiao, are you afraid of going back early? Your body really can't stand it anymore?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay to do it once. But don't be as crazy as last night."
She couldn't help but chuckle, "Forget it, we won't do it tonight. Let you have a day off. Don't go too far like this, otherwise you will still get bored of me."
I hurriedly said: "How could it be?"
But I felt relieved immediately. Indeed, this kind of thing is fun, but too much and excessive can make people bored.
Later, she really didn't ask for it from me. We went to bed directly after taking a shower. She put her head in my arm and said, "Go to sleep. I'm sleepy."
We set off after breakfast the next day. As soon as we left the city, we saw a large racecourse. Hong Ya said it was the famous Fulminington Racecourse. She said that gambling is very popular in Australia. What?
Everyone bets, bets on horse racing, dog racing, and electioneering... Common people bet, members bet, and the Prime Minister also bets. If Congress is in session, as long as there is a horse race at Fulminington Racecourse, the Prime Minister will recommend a two-hour adjournment.
, let the congressmen buy horse racing tickets, and the Prime Minister himself also buys horse racing tickets. Of course, in order to take into account his own image and influence, the Prime Minister will not buy horse racing tickets for hundreds of yuan, but only tens of yuan. But in the newspapers and periodicals,
It will immediately be published which horse race the Prime Minister is optimistic about, which horse the opposition leader is optimistic about. Casinos are available in every city in Australia.
It is said that a gold mine was discovered in a small town in the western United States in 1849. Later, the town was named San Francisco and developed into a famous large city in the western United States. Sovereign Hill in Philip Bay, Melbourne, Australia, is located in
Gold mines were also discovered in 1850, so the hill was named Xinjin Mountain, but it was not named. It is still called Sofulin Jinshan. After the gold mine was discovered in this area, it quickly triggered a raging gold rush.
In addition to Europeans, Chinese also flooded into the gold rush. Gold rush made this area rich, but this area originally belonged to New Zealand Province. The gold rushers were extremely dissatisfied with the high taxes of New Zealand and demanded that the British
The government separated from New Zealand. Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom agreed to this request, so she named the province Victoria after the Queen, and named the newly built city Melbourne after the British Prime Minister at the time.
The discovery of gold mines in this area is said to be purely accidental. Legend has it that two craftsmen were driving a wooden carriage on the road. The wheel broke down, so they moved a stone to cushion the carriage. After the carriage was repaired, the soil on the stone peeled off.
A clear yellow gold was revealed. Later, this piece of pure gold was sent to England, which melted it and made it into the crown of the Queen of England. Another legend is that a farmer dug in his yard and unexpectedly dug out
A stone containing gold. In the Soforin Gold Mine Museum, there are replicas of these two pieces of gold, a replica of the British Crown, and introductory texts of these two legends.
After arriving at Soforin Jinshan, we went to a small street. This small street is very special: a gravel dirt road, with one or two-story storefronts on both sides of the small street, old but not shabby, with a small post office and a small bank.
, a small grocery store, a small printing office, a small restaurant, a small horseshoe shop, a small clothing store, a small drug store, a small carriage shop... In short, there are shops needed for daily life. These houses and stores are more than 200
It was originally built before 2000 to meet the needs of mining workers at that time. At the pony station, there is a four-horse English carriage. The driver is wearing a dress and a top hat, giving people a very gentlemanly and very...
An ancient, very elegant feeling.
We took a horse-drawn carriage to circle around the small street, which took eight minutes and cost four Australian dollars. After visiting this ancient small commercial street and related shops, we came to the end of the street. Here is a not very high mountain.
There is a factory building more than ten meters high. The factory building is equipped with two ancient tank steam engines that were used in those days. They drive two very long transmission arms made of square wood outside the house. The second transmission arm drives a sealing valve.
When we visited, it was actually still working. At first glance, I didn’t know what this behemoth was used for. It turned out to be the oldest water pump. According to reports, this ancient and heavy water pump can pump out two hundred gallons of water from the mine every day.
of water.
Walking down the steps from the hill, we came to the entrance of the mine. The entrance is not big, and there are two gates made of wooden boards. This is the passage connecting the underground shaft. As soon as we followed the guide and entered the cave, we felt the coolness. Whoosh. After my eyes adapted to the darkness in the cave, I discovered that the two walls of the cave were supported by square logs, and the roof of the cave was also supported by wooden boards. There was a dim small lamp not far away from the cave wall. This The transverse passage is very long and winding, and extends into a T-shaped passage at a certain distance to form a transverse working level passage. There are eleven such transverse working level passages, and each transverse working level has a tunnel that leads directly to the underground. The shaft is more than ten meters long. Each shaft is composed of three side-by-side shafts: the shaft on the left is for drainage; the shaft in the middle has a hanging tank driven by a steam engine on the ground for miners to go to get off work. The hanging tank is heavy and narrow. It is small and can only carry six to seven miners up and down the mine at a time. In the shaft on the right, a long ladder is fixed from the top to the bottom of the shaft, which is used to go up and down the mine in case the hanging tank fails. Each horizontal working level is There is a lounge of six to seven square meters with two long stools. During lunch, the miners eat and rest in this hut for twenty minutes.
Candles are used for lighting here. According to reports, there was no electricity at that time, and candles had four functions: lighting, timing, measuring oxygen, and boiling hot water. Hang a small iron can on top of the candle. Over time, the water in the water can
The water was hot and you could drink it. In the mine, modern people even dug a cave wall as a movie screen. We watched a ten-minute movie about the tragic experiences of a pair of Chinese brothers who came to Australia to pan for gold.
After coming out of the mine, we went to visit a Chinese village. This Chinese village was the so-called village where the Chinese lived when they were digging for gold. On a small patch of uneven hills, there was a winding dirt path, to the left of the path.
, there is a hut built with wooden boards. There is a counter in the hut and bottles and cans are placed on the shelves. This is the drug store. Next to the drug store, there is also a hut made of wooden boards. There is a wooden table inside, which is the pharmacy.
It is said that the writing office was because the Chinese workers at that time were illiterate and could not write letters, so they needed someone to write letters for them. On the right side of the path is a small grocery store. The only one that looks like something is a Guandi Primary School
Temple. The rest of the buildings are the so-called houses where Chinese workers lived at that time: most of them were triangular shacks built with wooden boards. There were three beds side by side in each room. Each bed was only 60 centimeters wide. There was a bed in front of the bed.
Small wooden table. It is said that this is a house like this. Three people sleep on the bed, and three people sleep under the bed. The bed and under the bed are switched regularly. Miners work in three shifts. In this way, in such a small house, eighteen people have to sleep.
From this, we can imagine how hard and miserable the life of the Chinese workers was at that time. Perhaps this is why the Chinese are respected in this country.
In order to experience the hardship and fun of gold panning, we also learned the gold panning technology. We went to Xiaohegou to pan for gold.
If you really want to find gold and make a fortune here, you are wrong. I heard from a tour guide that there is indeed gold in the creek, but it is the scraps peeled off from making jewelry, and it is some gold.
The tourism authorities bought it and spread it in the small river ditch for tourists to experience gold panning. Anyway, there must be gold. So the two of us followed everyone down to the small river.
We went fishing for gold in the river ditch. There were many iron basins and shovels on the edge of the river ditch. We used the shovels to shovel out the sand and gravel in the river ditch and put them in the basins. We tilted the basins and slowly swayed in the water.
Because the specific gravity of gold is greater than that of sand and gravel, after scattering all the sand and gravel, we looked for tiny gold threads in the fine yarn. It was really good. We searched for more than 20 minutes and found several pots, and finally our efforts were not in vain.
I found three thin gold threads. Hong Ya handed them to me and asked me to take them back as a souvenir.
Later, we drove for two hours to the Pacific Coast of Mexico City. The Pacific Coast of Mexico City is also a rocky coast. The coast is steep and steep. It has been eroded and cut by sea wind and sea water over the years. Some coasts have broken, and some rocks
It was torn apart and stood alone in the sea.
The Twelve Apostles are twelve huge rocks isolated in the sea formed in this way. It is said that in the 1980s, several tourists were playing on a section of rock that was still connected to the coast but protruded from the sea, and suddenly it was connected to the coast.
The rocks broke and collapsed, causing the place where they stood to become a large rock isolated in the sea. They were all stunned and stunned. It was the helicopter that rescued them.
The twelve disciples standing proudly in the sea in front of them have different shapes. Some are tall, some are stocky, some look like Christians or Catholics standing on huge rocks, and some look like a fat man.
Buddhist monks attract many tourists from home and abroad. The clear blue sky, blue-green sea water, snow-white clean waves, and white seagulls flying up and down make the Twelve Apostles look majestic and majestic.
In fact, I like this way of traveling very much. We drive by ourselves and have a high degree of freedom, not to mention having her by our side.
We returned to Melbourne city very early in the evening. After dinner, we immediately returned to Hong Ya's residence. She said to me: "Feng Xiao, you have to stay with me today."
I went to hug her gently and said to her softly: "Hong Ya, you made a mistake. It was you who accompanied me."
Perhaps because we had a day of rest and the joy brought by the trip, the two of us lingered for a long time that night. There was no surging passion, but it was extremely warm.
In the next few days, we spent most of the time at her place, and sometimes we went out shopping together. She really never left me for a moment.
Time flies so fast. It wasn't until one day when Guan Qin called me that I suddenly remembered that I had been here for more than a week. Only then did I truly understand what it means to be happy and not miss Shu.
Guan Qin told me on the phone that the tour group would return to China the day after tomorrow. She hoped that I could rush to Sydney as soon as possible to meet her.
When I told Hong Ya about this, her tears burst out of her eyes.
I went to hug her and said to her softly: "You can go back to China often? Besides, you seem to have been back to China recently, right? Hong Ya, I never asked you, why didn't you contact me after you returned to China?
?”
She immediately wiped away her tears, looked at me blankly, and asked, "How do you know?"
I said: "You are so familiar with domestic flights to here, so I analyzed..."
She immediately said: "You are wrong, I have never been back. Because Sister Lin told me that you were coming, I went to check the flight."
Although I think there are big loopholes in what she said, I don't want to go into too much detail on this matter because it makes no sense.
Maybe she has her own difficulties, or she is afraid that she will be sad when she sees me, or maybe Lin Yu won't let her see me. Who knows what happened?
