It was noon when we got off the train, and my cousin's son-in-law drove the four of us to a restaurant for dinner. Seven or eight relatives and friends have been waiting at the dinner table. We greeted and shook hands one by one, and the family relationship has unconsciously spread from hand to heart.
I haven't seen my cousin for decades, and I don't recognize him. My cousin and sister-in-law who moved to Qujing from Shanghai more than ten years ago came to our home in Beijing. None of the other junior students know each other. Reunion after such a long separation is particularly cordial. Speaking of decades of changes, looking at the aging on my face, I feel that time waits for no one. My cousin's wife died more than ten years ago and moved to Qujing from his hometown Huize. In the afternoon, we went to my cousin's house. This house is beautiful.
Yes, this is a three-bedroom apartment rented by his daughter and son-in-law. They come to cook three meals for her father every morning. My cousin goes to the nearby park every day to play, exercise and live a free life. She is very happy. He said that his daughter and son-in-law take good care of him here and he lives happily. I was very moved. Later, I wrote an article "A Good Son-in-law Closer than a Son", which was published in Yunnan Old Annual and Qujing Daily.
The next morning, we went to Kirin Water Park with my brother's mother and her daughter. I happened to meet a group of kindergarten children who went down to the park under the guidance of the teacher. We old children want to take photos with these beautiful flowers of the motherland. The teacher happily directed the children to line up to take pictures, and our hearts suddenly became as young as children.
We took the sightseeing bus in the scenic spot to the distant scenic spot and got a glimpse of the beautiful water town. In the afternoon, I went back to the city, rested and chatted at my mother's house, and tasted the sumptuous dinner prepared for us by my mother's daughter and son-in-law.
In the evening, my sister visited 1949, an old comrade-in-arms who participated in the revolution. Seventy years, untold and unforgettable deep friendship.
? On the third day, my cousin invited us to play in the vast park. There are animal sightseeing areas (Monkey Mountain, Deer Garden, Peacock House, etc.). ), a monument to revolutionary martyrs, and Jingning Pagoda, the tallest building in Qujing, which is also the third highest nine-story pagoda in China.
We also went to Nanchengmen Scenic Area and took photos in front of the bronze statue of Ashima Ahei. The beautiful love story of Ashima Ahei is not only circulated in the hearts of Yunnan people, but also made into a film and shown at home and abroad.
Qujing is the largest city at the source of the Pearl River. The Pearl River, the third largest river in China, originates from Maxiong Mountain in Qujing City. The gurgling spring water drips from the outlet hole and is injected into the Pearl River system of Nanpanjiang, Beipanjiang and Niulanjiang respectively. Qilin Park Square in the main city of Qujing has shaped the sculpture of the goddess Sanjiang, eulogizing the fertile land irrigated by Qujing's mother river.
? There is a romantic legend about the origin of the name of Qilin District in the main city of Qujing: in ancient times, there was a drought in Qujing, and the people were in dire straits. At this moment, a beautiful fairy came riding a unicorn and had a shower. When spring returns to the earth, everything is thriving, so people use "Kirin" to name this land of geomantic omen and give it a good meaning of good luck and well-being.
Qujing has been rated as one of the top ten livable cities and national sanitary city in China for many times.
Out of longing for the top ten livable places, especially her pleasant climate and low consumption level, my wife and I came to Qujing twice to enjoy the fun of supporting the elderly.
We also visited Qilin Park, Qilin Garden, Longtan Park, Pearl River Source Ancient Town, Ruihe Park and Sanyuangong Park.
Sanyuan Palace was built to commemorate the Red Army crossing Qujing. April 1935,
Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and other Red Army leaders came to Sanyuan Palace, held a joint meeting of the Military Commission, made an important strategic decision to cross the Jinsha River and establish a base area in western Sichuan, and moved on from Sanyuan Palace at four o'clock in the morning.
Sanyuan Gong Conference is an important meeting held by the Central Military Commission of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and China on the way to the Red Army's Long March after Zunyi Conference and Tashi Conference. This meeting correctly analyzed the environment in which the Central Red Army was at that time and the situation of struggle between the enemy and ourselves, and made a major strategic decision to quickly cross the Jinsha River in the west and establish a Soviet area in western Sichuan, which was of great decisive significance for preserving the effective strength of the Red Army, implementing the strategic shift and successfully crossing the Jinsha River.
After visiting the Sanyuan Palace, I realized that Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and Zhu De had all been to Qujing during the Red Army's Long March and led the Red Army in a life-and-death struggle with the national reactionaries. I know more about the hardships of the revolution and the hard-won happiness today. We must inherit the glorious revolutionary tradition of the Red Army and forge ahead courageously in the new long March of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
During our stay in Qujing, we saw many tourists coming from Sichuan and Chongqing for the summer, and met some restaurant owners and innkeepers, some of whom were brought from Sichuan and Hebei. They start a business here to buy a house and are going to support the elderly here. They are happy to say that the climate here is pleasant and the prices are low, and they are going to live here all their lives. I think it is really a wise choice to settle in the top ten livable cities and sanitary cities at the national level.
