Sun Dahai thought for a while and continued: "Actually, everyone now does not understand domestic policies. Not only policies, but also the basic domestic situation. Although Xiangjiang is close to the mainland, many people are not clear about it.
Xiangjiang is better, and I still have some understanding of it. I heard that in Europe and the United States, many people’s understanding of the mainland is still a few decades ago, and some even think that everyone in the mainland still wears braids and mandarin jackets.”
Taizong said: "Then what do you think we can do to improve our understanding?"
"The most important thing is to be strong yourself, and to have more contacts and exchanges. Last year, there was a co-production movie called "Shaolin Temple", which was very sensational in Hong Kong.
People in Xiangjiang say that it turns out that mainland China can also produce such a movie. Although it is a co-production, the main actors are all domestic actors and the filming is also in mainland China. Therefore, after watching the movie, many people in Hong Kong have doubts about the current situation in mainland China.
Got curious.
And since the second half of last year, this movie has been released in Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Americas. I heard that it has also triggered a movie-watching craze.
In Poland, the movie has set off a craze for Kung Fu. Many young people consider it fashionable to wear clothes with Chinese characters on them. Anyone who knows Kung Fu can attract many people to learn from him."
"Poland is so far away, how did you know about it?"
"I have a small trading company in Hong Kong. One of my main businesses now is to sell cultural shirts produced under domestic authorization abroad. Wherever the movie is shown, the clothes will be exported.
At the beginning of this year, "Shaolin Temple" was released in Poland. Our cultural shirts sold surprisingly well there. The Polish distributor increased the order several times in a short period of time.
The people from the trading company did a special investigation to find out what happened there."
"You mean to increase exchanges with foreign countries through cultural forms such as movies?"
"Yes, yes, I don't know what to say. What you summarized is what I want to say.
Moreover, the film and television industry in Xiangjiang is very developed. There are many large and small film and television production companies. Their distribution network is also very developed. Although it is slightly less powerful in Europe and the United States, there are films released every year.
I think if there were more co-productions like "Shaolin Temple", wouldn't Hong Kong or foreign countries know more about the mainland? At least they would no longer think that our place is still the same as it was a hundred years ago."
…
In the next two days, Sun Dahai did not spend time alone with Taizong. He and his friends accompanied Taizong to swim, eat and take walks. It was not until the afternoon of the third day that Taizong left the sanatorium and returned to the capital.
With the busy state affairs, it is extremely difficult for a large number of people to spare a few days to come to Beidaihe for half-recuperation and half-work.
According to Mr. Huang, Taizong originally wanted to retire completely and hand over all his work. However, many old comrades tried their best to retain him, so he was in such a semi-retired state.
Taizong went back, but people were coming and going in the sanatorium, and the excitement increased instead of decreasing.
Now is the best time of year for rest and vacation in Xishan Sanatorium. Many qualified veteran cadres will take time to come here with their families to rest for a few days.
Sun Dahai also made many new friends inadvertently. His team is now very famous in the nursing home.
They come together every day for morning exercises, swimming, sand sculpting, beach football, beach races, picnics and barbecues, dinner parties and other activities.
After a few days, the team members' physical fitness and ability to live independently have been greatly improved.
Sun Dahai led a group of children, big and small, and had a great time playing every day. Not only did he play, Sun Dahai also taught everyone some physical exercise skills and how to make some simple meals.
At least Ma Jian can already stew a pot of braised pork by himself. Xia Tiantian not only learned to scramble eggs, but also scrambled eggs with tomatoes and scrambled eggs with cucumbers. Anyway, she had sex with eggs. Even she has a bit of princess disease.
Sun Yuanyuan has learned how to make dumplings.
Many veteran cadres who did not bring their children to recuperate regretted it when they saw this situation. If they had known that there were so many children of the same age here and that it was so well organized, they would have brought their children here anyway.
The original plan was for everyone to stay in the nursing home for a week. However, during a routine physical examination, the health care team discovered that Grandpa Xia had some minor health problems and prescribed him a course of medication.
Grandma Ma's lumbar disc herniation also required physical therapy for a period of time. So everyone temporarily changed their plans and decided to stay in the nursing home for one more week.
Sun Dahai didn't care about such a decision, and the children were all crazy with joy. In addition to continuing to have fun, they could also learn more from Sun Dahai. Everyone in the team was extremely happy.
The team now has more than just nine children at the beginning, and now has fifteen or sixteen children who work together every day. Some of these children have already followed the adults and left the nursing home, otherwise the team would have been even larger.
The service team of five, no, it should be called the service team now, and their number has also increased a lot. Almost every child will be taken care of by service personnel, some of whom are service personnel sent by the logistics department, and some of whom are relatives of the child.
Or a nanny at home.
At first, they made a fuss about some of the team's activities, fearing that the children in their care would be injured.
Later, I discovered that not only did the child not get hurt, but he actually enjoyed playing. So he learned to serve the five-person group and easily provided logistical support beside him.
When they learned that Mr. Huang and the others were going to extend their recuperation for a week, the five-person service team didn't say anything, but they were very happy in their hearts. Such a simple job is simply a kind of rest for them.
Before setting off, they never imagined that this work would be so easy and smooth. Several children of different ages are not something to worry about.
As a result, under the leadership of Sun Dahai and Sun Yuanyuan, these children acted in unison, not only having fun, but also satisfying their parents. The service team's work was extremely easy.
Of course, Sun Dahai did not stay in the nursing home completely during these days. He took the children on the bus and went to Shanhaiguan to visit.
He also asked the team leader to help him get in touch, took a local fishing boat out to sea, watched the fishermen fishing, and stayed with the boat for a day in a fishing village, experiencing the hard life of the fishermen.
After more than ten days, everyone has been in a bad mood. However, everyone is in good spirits. People who couldn't swim before have now learned how to swim. Even Sun Yuanyuan and other children in the five-year-old group can swim.
Hold on to the lifebuoy and swim by yourself for half an hour.
My friends all felt that this trip to Beidaihe was really fun. Everyone gained a lot and it was definitely a worthwhile trip. Through these days of contact, most of us have become good friends.
