When I stood in front of the ruins of the Old Summer Palace...
The Old Summer Palace is not only an art garden in China, but also a treasure in the world. When I stood in front of the ruins of the Old Summer Palace, I couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.
I know that the Old Summer Palace was built in the 46th year of Kangxi's reign and consists of three gardens: Old Summer Palace, Changchun Garden and Qichun Garden. There are hundreds of landscapes in the garden, covering an area of ??160,000 square meters. It is a large-scale royal garden created and operated by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty for more than 150 years. It contains many rare treasures. What a luxurious and wonderful park it is!
Let’s take a look at the ruins of the Old Summer Palace in front of me. It was burned down by the British and French forces. October 18, 1860, this unforgettable day, this day of humiliation, this day that all Chinese people should remember! I remembered that on October 6, 1860, the British and French forces invaded Beijing and broke into the Old Summer Palace. I recalled that they actually took away everything that could be taken away from the garden. What could not be taken away, they used They were moved in large trucks, and some were even destroyed at will!
Those hateful invaders not only robbed property in the Old Summer Palace, but in order to destroy evidence, more than 3,000 invaders set fire to the Old Summer Palace. That fire burned for three days and three nights. That fire burned the hearts of the Chinese people. That fire burned deeply into the faces of the Chinese people...
Look Well, the gate of the Old Summer Palace was burned to the point where only a few pillars were left, and some collapsed. Although they were destroyed, if you look closely, you can still see how exquisite its workmanship is. Disappeared in the fire of heaven. This is the result of more than a century of working people! Shouldn't I stand in awe while standing here? Am I still in the mood to laugh? Shouldn't this shame be remembered...
The former glory of the Old Summer Palace may no longer be seen. However, its ruins still stand in the fields. It's a pity that this artistic treasure has just disappeared.
