Live broadcast: Take our ancestors to see modern China

[When you grow up and go home for the New Year, you are an adult]

[On the first day of the New Year, your mother will wake you up early. Although you can’t wake people up on the first day of the New Year (I don’t know why), you will say Happy New Year to all the relatives who come in! ]

[At this time, when you are bored and wondering what fun there is in celebrating the New Year, you see a child from a relative's family. ]

[Relative’s child: …?

Sit up straight immediately

You: Child? No, I'm an adult.

There was a smile on the corner of my mouth, but then I thought, am I now the adult I hated the most when I was a child?

[Relative’s child: Panic~Where’s my mom? (Looking around)

You: hello

Relatives’ children: (panicked)

The fatal question: What did you call me?

Relatives’ children: Uh… (Help, help)

With shaking hands, I picked up my phone and looked through the full list of relatives’ names.

"Question adults, understand adults, and become an adult."

"Who knows? When I was a kid, I really couldn't remember the relatives who came to my house, especially those who were unfamiliar and far away. As a result, they just said something like they didn't know how to call people, etc."

"It would be awkward if the relative's child is older than me."

"When I was a kid, I looked up to receive red envelopes during the Spring Festival. Now I look up to give out red envelopes during the Spring Festival."

"That watch, that watch, hurry up and send me that watch, that watch! !"

The ancients accepted the idea of ​​visiting relatives very much. On the first day of the first lunar month every year, they would go out to visit relatives, friends and elders to "pay New Year's greetings". Putting on new clothes and bringing gifts were part of the proper ritual.

In the Han Dynasty, people would first submit a "Ye" or "Ci" before visiting someone to show their sincerity. Later, with the development and popularization of papermaking technology, it gradually became paper-based and became a name card.

However, when it comes to visiting relatives during the Spring Festival, some people secretly complain in their hearts: People in later generations have such bad tastes. However, it is really difficult to call relatives who are not very familiar with them for a while.

It seems that the New Year celebrations in later generations are the same as theirs, with people going to their elders to pay New Year's greetings and simply chatting about family matters. However, the meals in later generations look very appetizing, with a full range of vegetables and fruits, and meat can be eaten as you like. How envious!

Liu Che and Zhu Di: Another day of missing Zhang Qian/Sanbao!

When you don’t get a ticket home

[You: Hello, is this Huolala?

Other person: Ah, yes.

You: Can you accept cross-city transportation?

The other party: What kind of goods are you delivering?

You: Emmo, we are blood relatives.

The other party: Is it a large or small item?

You: 100 pounds?

The other party: It’s a small item.

He shook his shoulders and said unconvincedly: No! It's a large piece of goods.

＜Damn the desire to win＞】

"Can this really take people home? Can I bring a suitcase?"

"I don't have a ticket, but I can still get a ride home."

"Well, I can only say that they are all rich people."

People don't know much about the ticket prices in later generations, but they think it should not be cheap. Thinking about the cars speeding past, the planes soaring in the sky, and the large and small vehicles driving on the road as if it were flat ground, they wonder what kind of transportation there will be in the future.

Some generals thought that if they had such tools in later generations, it would be easy to capture the enemy. However, when they thought of the ubiquitous electricity in later generations, they sighed. After all, times have changed and they are still on horseback on the battlefield. When they thought of the gunpowder weapons that His Majesty asked the Yanshi to study, they felt excited again. The sky curtain is simply our lucky star.

The craftsmen who were once known for their ingenuity are now highly valued by the court. After all, no one wants to fall behind. The sky curtain is a warning to them. Thinking of the enemies on the other side of the ocean, all places have cooperated spontaneously to break the current backward equipment settings and become the strongest today.

[The starting point of China's "infrastructure maniac"]

【Fully understand the phrase "infrastructure is constantly improving". The reason why China has become a world-famous infrastructure maniac today is because of the Spring Festival travel rush in 2008.】

【Due to the rare snowstorm, highways were paralyzed, flights were grounded, and trains were suspended, leaving 40 people stranded at the train station, just to embark on their journey home. The sudden blizzard trapped everyone who was eager to return home; the low temperature of minus 6 degrees Celsius accompanied by light rain mercilessly washed people's faces and bodies.

The 11 days of crowded waiting was not only a physical but also a psychological torture. 4 military and police officers were dispatched to maintain order without sleep, and countless workers actively repaired the railway tracks and even sacrificed their lives. Finally, with the efforts of all parties, the villagers finally got on the train home.

It was after that incident that China vowed to build high-speed trains across the country. It took 10 years to build the world's longest high-speed rail network, becoming a world-famous "infrastructure maniac".

Because he didn't want his children to be unable to return home again. 】

The winding railways amazed the ancient people. With a roar, a giant white python rushed on the track at a speed so fast that it was dizzying.

A spider-web-shaped map is even more amazing, simply because it is so detailed that every station entrance is clearly visible.

"The future is really amazing! These roads look complicated, but there will be no collisions when driving. Each road has a starting point and an end point. It looks like this only when it is laid out on a picture. I can't help but applaud!"

It was also the first time that emperors of various dynasties saw such a map, which was so detailed and clearly showed the geographical location, driving direction, and different color markings.

You know, inaccurate maps can lead to errors in command and missed opportunities, which can have serious consequences for military orders and may even lead to the destruction of a country.

No one dared to imagine that such things should not be exclusive to countries and people in power, but in the future, they are available almost everywhere. I think in the future, people can take them to their destinations when traveling abroad.

What if something so precise is stolen by someone from abroad? They still remember that there are two countries that are always behaving like villains.

Some disaster-stricken countries looked at the disasters encountered by the later generations during the Spring Festival with worries in their eyes. It seems that natural disasters are inevitable in any era. I hope everyone can be lucky. I couldn't help crying when I saw the country sending people to help. It's great. Their countries are doing rescue and disaster relief in times of crisis. Shouldn't they rise up to resist?

Looking at the people carrying large and small bags, the military and police trying their best to maintain order, and the rescue workers who never give up, people of all dynasties have realized the strength of this country, not only in the military, but from the grassroots to the entire society. They will defeat the natural disaster. At this moment, countless people firmly believe it.

"A lot of things happened in 08"

"I was really moved. I rode a shaky bus to go to school across the province in my freshman year. In my sophomore year, I was able to go home in one day thanks to the high-speed rail. Seeing the prosperity of our motherland, I couldn't help but feel proud and my eyes filled with tears!"

"Thank you, motherland. May you live forever and be strong forever!"

"Those who cannot defeat or kill us will eventually become our driving force to move forward!"
