As I walked and looked around, Liu Beijun's eyes were full of novelty. The subway was novel, the handsome guys and beauties around, the uncles and aunties were also novel, the countless high-rise buildings were novel, and even staying in a hotel for the first time was novel!
That night, Liu Beijun tossed and turned in bed unable to sleep. Finally, he lay down on the small window, looked at the busy road outside, and muttered: "The big city is so beautiful...so clean, and there are many cars...Abbot Fangzheng, abbot
?”
When Liu Beijun turned around, Fang Zheng was already asleep.
Liu Beijun lay down by the window and looked at it again and again, and finally let out a complicated sigh and went back to bed and went to sleep.
The next day, before dawn, Liu Beijun was called up by Fang Zheng.
"Abbot, what are you doing so early?" Liu Beijun looked at the time and saw that it was only three o'clock!
Fang Zheng said: "If you want to see the national flag being raised, hurry up. Otherwise, you can just lie here by yourself." It's my first time to come to Shengjing if I don't go to Tiananmen Square to see the national flag being raised. It would be a waste of time! Although Fang Zheng is a monk,
Although he is a monk, he never regards himself as a person who is completely separated from the world.
When he heard that he wanted to watch the national flag being raised, Liu Beijun jumped up from the bed, put on his clothes, pulled Fang Zheng and ran outside, saying as he ran: "Hurry up, hurry up!"
After leaving the hotel, Liu Beijun was dumbfounded. How should we go?
Fang Zheng shook his head and took Liu Beijun to the subway station. They followed the subway all the way to Tiananmen Square. They arrived not too late, but the square was already crowded with people. There were also groups of soldiers patrolling.
However, looking at those heroic soldiers, Liu Beijun couldn't help but praise: "This is a man! Handsome!"
Fang Zheng nodded slightly, agreeing with Liu Beijun's statement. Following the flow of people, the soldiers standing guard stood upright and motionless, like statues. Fang Zheng walked past them and even saw the face of one soldier,
In front of his eyes, there was a mosquito that had sucked enough blood! But the young soldier remained motionless, as if he didn't even know the mosquito existed!
Fang Zheng frowned and was about to make a move when suddenly a girl walked over, waved her hand and drove the text away, then took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from the soldier's forehead, smiled slightly, turned and left.
When Fang Zheng saw this, his heart warmed up.
Liu Beijun whispered: "I heard that when soldiers are on guard, others are not allowed to approach. In case..."
"There is a difference between good people and bad people." Fang Zheng said.
Liu Beijun scratched his head, not understanding what Fang Zheng meant. How could a bad person have the word "bad guy" written on his face?
But Fang Zheng knew that bad people would not have bad intentions written on their faces, but the warmth and brightness exuded by a good person could instantly illuminate everything.
The two followed everyone to the front of the square. At this time, a soldier came over and said as they walked: "Everyone, please pay attention. Audiences in the first three rows please squat down. Please sit down if it is convenient. Thank you for your cooperation."
Then the people in the three rows in front started to sit down. Fang Zheng and Liu Beijun happened to be in the third row. It didn't matter that Fang Zheng was there. The moon-white monk's clothes were dust-free and dirt-free, so he didn't get dirty wherever he sat, so he just sat on the floor. Liu Beijun didn't care about this and sat down.
Some people brought some posters or something with them and sat on them under their buttocks. In a moment, everyone in the first three rows sat down.
In this way, everyone's sight is guaranteed.
"Abbott, the distance is a bit far. It's so far away that I can't see clearly. I thought I could watch it up close like on TV." Liu Beijun said a little disappointed.
Fang Zheng said: "Whether it's far or not, it all depends on your heart. Are you really here to see a few people goose-stepping and raising the national flag? Ask your heart, what exactly are you here to see."
Liu Beijun was stunned. He looked at the soldiers around him and the expectant audience. He couldn't help but ask in his heart: "Are they really here to see the national flag being raised?" Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Are you looking forward to seeing a flag-raising ceremony that you can’t see clearly? Or are you waiting for the flag-raising ceremony, and something special and beautiful will happen?
Thinking of this, Liu Beijun also waited with expectation.
Seeing Liu Beijun like this, Fang Zheng didn't say anything and just watched quietly.
As time passed, I finally saw the shadow of the honor guard in the distance. They were all heroic and walking in uniform steps. Although they were too far away to see the details clearly. But at that moment, Liu Beijun didn't know why, his
My heart suddenly became hot! It was as if a rusty engine that had not been used for a long time was suddenly given power and started to move!
Liu Beijun couldn't remember how many years it had been since his heart had felt this way. Sometimes he even thought that he would never be moved by anyone in his life. At least he hadn't felt such intense emotions in his heart for a long time. His eyes were fixed.
Staring in the direction of the honor guard, I watched the soldiers of the honor guard come under the national flag. As a soldier raised his hand, the bright red national flag danced in the wind and opened up!
Liu Beijun clenched his fists subconsciously. At that moment, he suddenly understood what he had come here to see! Not to watch the flag-raising ceremony, but to satisfy the patriotic passion in his heart! The moment the national flag was raised,
He didn't know what was going through his mind, but he just had an uncontrollable excitement, as if blood was about to spurt out of his mouth. He subconsciously opened his mouth and sang the national anthem along with the music, and tears rolled down his eyes.
slide……
He didn't know that a certain monk next to him had no waves in his ancient well, but his heart was also fluctuating a lot.
Although Fang Zheng is a monk, he still has patriotic blood in his heart. Here, the blood is ignited, singing the national anthem, and feeling the sentiment that permeates the entire square, there is no you and me, only the country.
After leaving Tiananmen Square and walking for a long time, Liu Beijun came back from his excitement and looked at Fang Zheng and said: "Abbot Fang Zheng, although I don't know why I watched the flag raising, at that moment, I was really excited, so good
I want to cry...well, I cried."
Fang Zheng said: "It's okay if you cry. If you cry, you can still be saved."
"What do you mean?" Liu Beijun was stunned.
Fang Zheng didn't say anything, but took Liu Beijun into Wangfujing Commercial Street. He looked at the bustling neighborhood, the people coming and going, and the tall buildings surrounding him. Fang Zheng didn't say a word. Liu Beijun didn't.
He stopped and looked around, for fear of missing something new. Everything here seemed familiar and strange to him. What was familiar was that the scenes on TV were reproduced here, and what was strange was brought about by the atmosphere here.
Shock, this is completely different from the feeling in the village!
