Perhaps it was due to the jet lag, or perhaps he was a little excited about going abroad for the first time, but Liu Lang opened his eyes before four o'clock in the morning, and he was not sleepy at all.
Sun Hu's bed was folded neatly and no one was in the room. Liu Lang stood up and put on a pair of shorts and walked to the bathroom to wash up. As soon as he finished washing, Sun Hu opened the door and entered the room, sweating profusely.
"Oh? Liu Lang, are you awake? So early?"
"Get up if you can't sleep!"
"It's rare to find a kid like you who doesn't sleep in bed... My son wakes me up ten times a day... By the way, I just went out to exercise, and I'm used to it. If I don't move my body every day, I'll get crepey!"
"Aren't all the masters practicing in the summer and winter in the winter? Brother Sun, you are a soldier. If you become an athlete, you can probably represent the country in the Olympics!"
"Haha, I don't have that ability. There is a group of long-distance runners on the playground outside. They are running in circles. They are faster than wolves, and they always keep the same speed. It's really scary."
Sun Hu said with a smile.
"Black people were very miserable back then. If their ancestors couldn't run fast, they would be captured by white people and used as slaves. If they are passed down from generation to generation, they will naturally run faster than anyone else!"
"Oh? Is that really what happened? That would be too tragic. If it were me, I would just do it with them. The risk is that I will die, so why run away?"
The two laughed and washed up. At this time, the corridor outside the house was still very quiet. It seemed that many people were not awake yet, but they were getting ready soon. Everyone was expected to gather at the entrance of the Olympic Village at 8:30 this morning. There will also be people in front of the Olympic Village.
Raising the Chinese national flag is the first time that the national flag has been flown over the Olympic Games. It is a historic moment for the country and no one can miss it.
The two of them were fine, so they left the house and came to the playground not far away. As expected, there were more than 20 athletes on the playground running long-distance. Most of them were black, dark and thin, and they seemed to be from some African country.
Although they are as skinny as refugees, these athletes are really fast. They circle the 400-meter track in less than a minute, and they do it in circles without slowing down at all.
There were not only these long-distance runners training on the playground, but also long jumpers and sprinters. Soon, even the long-distance runners from the Chinese team came out of the dormitory and joined the training.
"The athletes in our country are also very good! They just got off the plane yesterday and came out to train so early today. If everyone has such a will, our country will not be bullied by others!"
Sun Hu is usually silent, but don't forget that he is a soldier. He dares to sacrifice his life for the country. When it comes to patriotism, he is the real number one. The scene at the airport yesterday made him angry.
Sorry, if someone dares to insult his country like this on the battlefield, the other party may not survive to see the sun the next day, but what can you do no matter how strong you are? It’s useless! Only when everyone unites together,
Only by thinking in one place and working hard can the country become stronger.
"come on!"
Liu Lang shouted to the compatriots passing by, and several of them smiled and waved to him.
"Liu Lang, Sun Hu, you two got up early!"
Moran appeared beside the two of them and looked at the athletes running on the playground with interest.
"The Chinese team members are in good spirits, but their physical fitness is not as good as that of blacks, especially in running. The top players in the United States, whether it is long-distance or short-distance running, are all blacks. This may be the only thing that makes blacks proud.
"
Moran had a hint of contempt. In her eyes, black people are a group of people with well-developed limbs and simple minds. They are far inferior to the Chinese. Moreover, these guys have a bad temper and always cause trouble to society. Unlike the Chinese, who rarely cause trouble.
.
"Sister Mo, your body is also an advantage. If these black people can use this advantage to the extreme, they can have a certain impact on society... I watched the news yesterday, and there was something about black Americans taking to the streets to demonstrate. A black man
Being beaten by the police triggered a large-scale demonstration of thousands of black people. If this kind of thing were done in our place,
The Chinese, I'm afraid, won't have such a big reaction at all. Although we Chinese are smart, we are too introverted. Many times we have the idea of doing things that have nothing to do with ourselves. This is not acceptable in the United States. Believe it or not, don't
It seems that black people cannot compare with us Chinese in terms of intelligence, but soon their social status will surpass that of us Chinese."
Liu Lang's words are not nonsense. The status of black people in the United States is indeed getting higher and higher. This is due to their unity. As long as there is any suspected discrimination against black people, all black people in the United States will jump out to support them. Three
Ten years later, the first black president appeared in the United States, which brought the status of black people to its peak. On the other hand, the Chinese have always been tepid. Even if there is discrimination, they will at best stand up and say a few innocuous words. This is not for the arrogant people.
It's of no use to white people.
Of course, Mo Lan still doesn't believe Liu Lang's words. In her eyes, the reason why the Chinese have a low status is because the country is not strong enough, but she did not expect that there are also their own reasons for this.
At about seven o'clock, everyone got up. After washing and having breakfast, they gathered at the entrance of the Olympic Village to prepare for the flag-raising ceremony.
There are more than a hundred flagpoles at the door, one-third of which are already hung with national flags. The American flag is naturally the one in the center, and the flagpole is much higher than the others.
After a while, the Australian flag was also raised. The Australians stood under the flagpole with solemn expressions. The organizing committee also played their national anthem, and everyone sang in unison.
Next, the flags of two more countries were raised, one was a country in Africa, and the other was a small European country. These two countries did not have many athletes, and the African country only had more than 20 people.
"Why haven't you come to our country yet?"
The other athletes who had raised their flags had already left, but the Chinese flag had not yet been hung up on the flagpole.
Lu Mingzhi took Zhang Xianchu and a few others to find people from the organizing committee immediately. More than ten minutes later, Lu Mingzhi and Zhang Xianchu appeared again, all with red faces.
"What are you going to do? Why didn't you prepare our country's national flag? This is a serious diplomatic issue. We are going to the United Nations to sue you!"
Zhang Xianchu yelled loudly at a staff member of the organizing committee, who couldn't stop explaining.
"What's going on?"
Liu Lang stepped forward and asked.
"It's too much. The organizing committee actually said that they forgot to prepare our national flag... This is discrimination, naked discrimination. Our country is one of the five permanent members, and it dares to despise us so much. We will sue the United Nations.
, let the world know your American arrogance!”
If Lu Mingzhi had not received a good education, I am afraid he would have cursed loudly by now. Not only Lu Mingzhi, but also the athletes were very excited when they learned about this incident. If the leaders now gave an order to destroy the Olympic Village,
Will not hesitate.
"No, this matter is going to be a big deal!"
The calmest person now is Liu Lang. Such things are too common. Not to mention now, even after the country gradually becomes stronger, it is not uncommon. How about deliberately hanging your national flag upside down when participating in an event, or during a competition?
The referee favors your opponent. This is not only because your country is weak, but also because for the United States, you and China are their enemies, so they must deliberately find some trouble, even if it does not cause much impact, it will still affect you.
emotions.
Take the current national flag incident as an example. Even if it goes to the United Nations and people say the flag cannot be found, you have nothing to do and it will affect you in the end.
Liu Lang looked around and saw an athlete not far away holding a national flag in his hand.
"Teng Teng Teng!"
Liu Lang walked through the crowd and came to that person.
"Give me the flag!"
Liu Lang grabbed the opponent's national flag in one fell swoop.
"Grandpa Lu, let's use this flag to hold a ceremony for the time being! Don't affect the emotions of the athletes!"
"ah!"
After hearing what Liu Lang said, Lu Mingzhi also reacted, yes! They are here to participate in the competition, not to argue with the other side in the United States. Even if they "file a lawsuit" with the other side, it will not affect the emotions of the athletes.
"Okay, you two, tie the flag to it, and we'll raise the flag ourselves!"
Lu Mingzhi gave an order, and the two athletes raised the national flag high, came to the flagpole, and then tied it carefully to it.
The national flag was not prepared, and naturally there was no national anthem either. Lu Mingzhi watched the national flag being tied to the slide rope and shouted with all his strength: "Everyone stand at attention, raise the national flag, and sing the national anthem!"
Everyone paid attention and sang the national anthem: Rise up, people who don’t want to be slaves...!
As the majestic national anthem played, everyone watched the national flag rising. At the same time, a strong patriotic enthusiasm was also ignited in their hearts. Not only all the athletes, but also Moran was also staring at the national flag. Although she was not
I am an American, but as a Chinese descendant, I also feel the call from the Chinese nation at this moment. This has nothing to do with nationality, but a connection of five thousand years of blood and culture.
"The ceremony is over!"
The bright red national flag finally flew over the Olympic Village, and finally returned to the embrace of the Olympic family after decades. Even though the process was full of ups and downs, the country still stood here unstoppably. Even though there were countless obstacles during the period,
Even if there are countless enemies who want to stop it, no one can stop this powerful country. This is the general trend of history.
More than a hundred people here have witnessed this great moment, and at the same time they also feel a strong sense of responsibility. They are all secretly determined to show their strength in this Olympic Games and let the world see the face of the Chinese nation.
