Chapter 975 The Legendary Woman
The dumplings and dishes they ordered were served one after another.
The steamer is steaming hot and the dumplings inside are crescent-shaped, like chubby ingots. They are very cute and tempting.
Director Lang smiled and called Su Xing, "Miss Su, try it."
"it is good."
Su Xing responded, picked up a signature pork and green onion dumpling, took a bite, and the soup burst out instantly.
She gasped with a burning sensation.
Section Chief Qu smiled and said, "Take your time."
Su Xing nodded, blew gently, and ate slowly.
Director Lang waited for her to finish one and asked, "How was it?"
Su Xing commented, "The crust is really chewy, the soup is rich, the scallion flavor is very light, the fillings are rich and delicious, delicious!"
Everyone laughed.
“Try other fillings.”
"And this sweet and sour pork, try it and see if it's any different from the one in your H Province."
Su Xing accepted everything and ate whatever people advised her to eat.
She loves to listen to people's advice on eating.
The sweet and sour pork in this restaurant is really well made. The pork tenderloin is cut very thinly and coated with a thin layer of batter. It is fried until golden. When you take a bite, it is crispy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Dip it in the soup and it tastes sour and sweet and is very appetizing.
Su Xing was about 70% full at this lunch.
After dinner, the group went up to the third floor to visit the History Museum.
Although this is a private museum, it is open to tourists free of charge.
There is a sand table of the Songhua River Basin here, showing the landscape pattern of Jilin City with "Suzaku in front, Xuanwu behind, Azure Dragon on the left, and White Tiger on the right".
There are also historical maps and old photos showing Jishi’s military status as a shipyard and its commercial function as a river city.
This place is like a miniature archive, containing archives of costumes and scripts of Xiliancheng Society, and the manuscript of "Yongji County Annals" compiled by Xu Nailin.
There are also several theme exhibition halls, including Qing Dynasty relics, Republic of China figures, Niu Zihou and Mei Lanfang, and Jilin Manufacturing, which show the historical changes of Jilin City from different angles.
Director Lang introduced: "There are many collections related to the history and culture of Jishi, including a large number of old photos of the commercial field of Henan Street and the history of Jishi, nearly 10,000 photos, as well as nearly 100 authentic and unique calligraphy and painting works by famous people in Jishi from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, as well as the first barrel of dye and the first bag of fertilizer of Xinhua State that witnessed the industrial history of Jishi..."
Section Chief Qu said: "The museum also has a collection of physical objects and historical materials such as the South Manchuria Railway tracks in 1920 and photos of the calcium carbide factory of the Manchuria Electric Chemical Corporation in 1938. These are irrefutable evidence of the history of Japan's invasion of China. From them, we can understand the difficult development background of Jishi Petrochemical in its early days..."
Talking about this history, the originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy.
Su Xing held up the camera, taking pictures while listening to the explanation.
When they came to the area with historical materials and photos of the Japanese invasion of China, everyone stopped for a long time.
Su Xing looked up at the old photos, and her mood was particularly heavy.
If you continue to visit forward, you can also see the development and changes in the appearance of Jilin City after the reform and opening up.
In the folk life exhibition area, old items such as old refrigerators, televisions, enamel washbasins, kettles from the 70s and 80s are displayed, which can help you understand the changes in the lives of ordinary people in Jilin.
The old black-and-white photos hanging on the wall record the old streets and alleys, old city gates and people’s daily life scenes in Ji City. Each one is full of the flavor of fireworks.
This private museum is not very large, but it vividly reproduces the century-long historical changes of Ji City.
in the afternoon.
Director Lang and his team also took Su Xing to Ji City Machinery Bureau and Ji City West Station.
Ji City Machinery Bureau is the first modern arsenal in the northeast of the city.
Director Lang introduced: "This arsenal was built in 1881, the seventh year of Emperor Guangxu's reign, with the approval of Wu Dacheng, the Imperial Commissioner and Assistant Director of Jilin Border Affairs, to supply weapons and ammunition to Jilin and H provinces, strengthen border defense, and resist the invasion of Tsarist Russia. In October 1883, the Machinery Bureau officially declared its completion and put into production, producing hand-held rifles, cavalry guns, detonators, bullets, shrapnel shells and other weapons..."
"After going through the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, the Japanese puppet regime, the Restoration, the New China and other periods, the Jishi Machinery Bureau has undergone several changes. It was once changed to the Jishi Mint, Jishi Ordnance Bureau, and the Manchurian Railway Repair Factory. In 2011, the current Jishi Art Center was built on the site of the old Machinery Bureau..."
Su Xing listened to the stories told by Director Lang and Section Chief Qu, and looked at the carefully displayed cultural relics in front of him, including old production tools and models of firearms and ammunition that had been manufactured. He gained a more intuitive and profound understanding of the important contributions of the Ji City Machinery Bureau in promoting the development of modern industry, military innovation, and national defense construction in the Northeast region.
After visiting the Jishi Machinery Bureau, Director Lang and others accompanied Su Xing to Jishi West Station.
Although Jishi West Station is just a railway station, it has important historical, cultural and architectural value.
Su Xing had heard of this train station before.
It was designed by Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin, two famous Chinese architects. It is one of the important historical buildings in Northeast China. Its architectural style is very unique, integrating various Chinese and Western architectural elements.
Thinking of Lin Huiyin, Su Xing felt a little complicated.
She is a remarkable woman in modern Chinese history, a famous poet and writer, and the first female architect and professor in modern China.
The couple devoted themselves to the study of ancient Chinese architecture, conducted a large amount of field investigations and surveying work, and co-authored important academic works such as "Qing-style Construction Rules", laying a solid foundation for the study of Chinese architectural history.
Lin Huiyin also participated in the design of the national emblem of the People's Republic of China and the Monument to the People's Heroes.
But now when people mention Lin Huiyin, many people focus on her private life and even spread rumors to slander her. It's really ridiculous!
Director Lang, Section Chief Qu and others began to introduce the train station. Su Xing collected his wandering thoughts and listened carefully to the explanation.
Section Chief Qu said: "This railway station was built in 1928. In the early days of its construction, it was called Jihai Railway Terminal, and later it was called Babailong Station and Huangqitun Station. In 1985, it was renamed Jishi West Station. In 2013, it became a key cultural relic protection unit in my country..."
Su Xing looked up and saw a striking Gothic building with a pointed roof and clock tower in front of him. The camel-colored stone walls and the white gabled facade gave it a very unique shape.
Director Lang said: "The station building is designed in the shape of a crouching lion, symbolizing the spirit of the Chinese people to resist the imperialist aggression and fight back! The station is located in the southeast and faces northwest. The lion's head is a giant semicircular protrusion, which contains the passenger duty room and the passenger attendant lounge; the lion's neck and front legs are the waiting room; the inside of the lion's body is the ticket office, baggage room, etc.; the lion's hind legs are the stationmaster's office, secretary's office, etc. From the outside, the front face of the station is two lion ears, the north side is the lion's forehead, and the spire is the lion's tail..."
A group of people entered the interior of the train station. The interior was decorated with murals. The floor of the waiting room was paved with traditional Chinese patterns. The air vents outside the building were decorated with iron grates in the shape of the Chinese character "Shou". There was an iron art with a hollow middle at the foot of the ticket hall for heating in winter.
Director Lang added: "This is also the filming location for many TV dramas and movies about the Republic of China and the War of Resistance, such as A Moment of Romance 3: Beauty in War and Lost Memory 2009.
