The OldSummer Palace and "Chinese Dream"

　　"when Juveniles are intelligent, a nation is intelligent;juveniles are rich, a nation is wealthy; juveniles are strong, a nation isstrong..." This sentence is the progressional power of our juveniles! OnOctober 6th, 1860, the destruction of the Old Summer Palace, constantly remindsus not forgetting the national humiliation, winning honor for our country!

　　In the autumn of 2011, I came to the old Summer Palace in Beijing.The gate of the garden had long been beyond recognition, what jumped into oureyes were rubbles on the ground. Twostone lions were black and blue all over, one of them was split in two halves,one half was lying on the ground and became a "sleeping lion", theother half was still standing at the base sturdily. These one and a half lionswere standing on both sides of the "door", telling the sad history ofthe Old Summer Palace...

　　Walking through the "door", relying helplessly on thetwo dead pine trees was a destroyed stone wall, which let me involuntarilythink of the scene of the Eight-Power Allied Forces’ plunder without restraint:some moved away rare treasures, some damaged invaluable treasures that couldnot be carried away, there were still some people shelling the uniquebuildings...

　　Passing by the ruins, there was a dried-up pond presenting infront of my eyes, it was Hall of National peace. Lying on the shore were 12marble pedestals with scars of woundsstrung together like beads, what still witnessed the former glory on which werethe exquisite but incomplete reliefs, on which the perfect and famous Chinesezodiac heads once placed and disappeared at present for a long time, cluelessand homeless.

　　"Being a stranger all alone in a strange land, he misses hisrelatives on every festival." I think these missing heads must have beeneagerly looking forward to return to the motherland as soon as possible when weare celebrating the increasingly strength of our motherland

　　Behind the Hall of National peace was once resplendent andmagnificent Water Spray Timer, now only left a heap of water towers and a pileof pillars: some were cut into two parts in the middle, some were"ripped" into ten thousand periods, and some others had sadly fallento the ground sideways, shouted to the sky... I wondered: so hard stones werealso destroyed in the fire of invasion, it is thus clear that how rampant thegroup of greedy devils were !

　　Bypassing the Water Spray Timer, we visited the Flower Array, theBird Cage............, which was once a mythical and miraculous "garden ofgardens", now became a heap of rubble under the looting of two days andnights as well as the flames, was in ruins completely!

　　The fire of the Old Summer Palace has been put out long ago, butthe anger in my heart is burning. The destruction of the Old Summer Palace letsus remember: we have to work hard to be stronger, not to be bullied by others;we have to be constantly stronger to let the motherland take to the road ofrevival, to realize teh great Chinese dream!
