Chapter 268 We are the inheritors of the Forbidden City spirit

The Nanjing Massacre and the more than 300,000 innocent Nanjing compatriots who were killed are a pain in the hearts of all Chinese people!

This is history that all Chinese people should remember!

There were many people around with red eyes, angry and sad faces. Even the seven or eight middle-aged men opposite were listening silently at this moment, without showing any disdain or dissatisfaction.

I don’t know whether he was moved by Su Xing’s story or was afraid of revealing some negative emotions or words and being attacked by the tourists around him.

Su Xing took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued, "Those cultural relics that were moved out of Nanjing in time avoided the bombardment and looting, and moved all the way to the cave of Yuelu Academy in Changsha. But just as the cultural relics were hidden, the Japanese army was about to bomb Changsha. The people in the Forbidden City loaded the cultural relics onto trucks and continued to move them. Not long after they left, Yuelu Academy was bombed by the enemy and fell into a sea of ​​fire...

The people of the Forbidden City took those cultural relics and dodged the relentless pursuit of the Japanese army, constantly changing their migration routes. They experienced more than ten years of escape and hiding!

During the migration, countless people from the Forbidden City died heroically! The remaining people from the Forbidden City did not give up, and they tried to find a way to save those cultural relics in the midst of displacement!

In August 1945, Japan announced its surrender!

The people at the Forbidden City were moved to tears when they received the news! They had traveled thousands of miles with those cultural relics, across most of China, and had waited for more than ten years to finally see this day!

The surrender ceremony of the Japanese army was held in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City!

The people of the Forbidden City scattered across the country can finally take those cultural relics and set off to go home...

Of the more than 10,000 boxes and millions of cultural relics that were taken out by the Palace Museum staff, not a single one was lost and almost none was damaged, creating a miracle in the history of cultural relic protection!"

At this moment, it was so quiet around that the only sound you could hear was the wind blowing through the leaves!

There are also some people who seem to hear the sound of their hot hearts beating wildly in their chests!

Su Xing's voice slowed down, and he continued, "Before the victory of the war, Japan had already begun its cultural invasion of our country. They forced our children to read Japanese textbooks, learn Japanese, learn their history, and learn their so-called civilization and culture, trying to fundamentally destroy our Chinese spirit! The cultural relics in the Forbidden City are our cultural treasures, carrying our national spirit, witnessing the inheritance of Chinese civilization, and are the continuation of our cultural context! This is the significance of protecting them!

The people of the Forbidden City back then used their lives to protect them! And the people of the Forbidden City today stick to their posts and protect them silently in their own way! This is the spirit of the people of the Forbidden City!"

There was silence again for a moment.

I don’t know who started it, but suddenly everyone started clapping!

Then the applause became more and more, and louder and louder!

"Pah, pah, pah—!"

Su Xing seemed to be awakened by the applause, and suddenly broke away from that very passionate state.

She felt a little embarrassed when she heard the thunderous applause and the eager eyes on her.

Gao Yang, Pei Shiqi and Zhang Caifeng were also clapping their hands vigorously.

At this moment, their hearts were filled with excitement and emotion!

Especially since they all studied majors related to cultural relics, they were touched even more deeply!

Pei Shiqi clapped and cried, "Su Xing, you spoke very well!"

Gao Yang said: "Su Xing, you look so handsome today! You are my idol!"

Zhang Caifeng opened her mouth to say something, but the first thing she did was cry, and then nothing came out.

There happened to be a few gardeners taking care of the flowers and plants in the imperial garden. They heard Su Xing's words and could not help but raise their hands to wipe their wet eyes.

Normally they didn’t think their work was anything special, but at this moment, the words of recognition and affirmation from this young tourist girl made them feel a sense of pride and mission!

Some tourists also started to applaud.

"Little girl, you said it very well! Those ordinary yet great ancestors should be respected and remembered!"

"Although it is a peaceful time now, the staff in the Forbidden City are also doing their jobs and sticking to their posts. It is because of their hard work that we can see such a clean, tidy and orderly Forbidden City. How can you say they are idle people!"

"That's right. Some people just don't like anything and love to find faults for no reason! Don't you know how much they have contributed to the country and society?"

"I have never heard of the story of the great migration of cultural relics from the Forbidden City. Thanks to the little girl for letting me know this history!"

"It was really worth the trip to the Forbidden City today! Not only did I see the Grand Palace and the cultural relics inside, but I also heard such a thrilling story..."

Amidst everyone's sighs and sarcasms, the seven or eight middle-aged men on the opposite side squeezed out of the crowd dejectedly and walked away quickly...

Some younger tourists couldn't help but sigh at the backs of those people.

Su Xing smiled politely at the people around him, and quickly whispered to a few of his companions, "It's getting late, shall we go too?"

The three roommates all noticed that Su Xing was a little embarrassed because he realized it belatedly, and they all found it a little funny.

But they could all understand Su Xing's feelings at the moment.

Gao Yang said, "Let's go, I'm hungry too, let's go eat some stewed pork!"

Zhang Caifeng said, "Let's go quickly then."

Pei Shiqi reached out and held Su Xing's arm, "Let's go!"

Several girls also squeezed out of the crowd and prepared to leave from Shenwu Gate.

At this time, an old man suddenly called out from behind, "Little girls, you are still students, right? Which school are you from?"

Gao Yang turned around, smiled heartily, and replied: "Uncle, we are from Peking University!"

Pei Shiqi suddenly turned around, raised her chin, and added proudly, "We are from Wenbo College!"

Zhang Caifeng also turned around and smiled, "In the future, we will also inherit the spirit of the people of the Forbidden City!"

Su Xing couldn't help but laugh when she heard what her roommates said. She turned around and said loudly to the tourists, "Yes! We are the future guardians of cultural relics!"

She added silently in her heart: She also hopes that they can become the inheritors and exporters of our country’s culture and civilization in the future…

The tourists watched the four young girls leave.

There were several exclamations from the crowd!

"So they are students from Kyoto University! They are indeed students from a top university..."

"The Peking University School of Cultural and Museum Studies! It is the best among all the cultural and museum schools in the country!"

"Seeing them, I feel that there is still hope for our young generation..."

Another little boy said loudly to his father: "I want to apply to Peking University! I want to go to the Cultural and Museum College! I want to work in the Forbidden City in the future!"
