The OldSummer Palace and "Chinese Dream"
"when Juveniles are intelligent, a nation is intelligent;juveniles are rich, a nation is wealthy; juveniles are strong, a nation isstrong..." This sentence is the progressional power of our juveniles! OnOctober 6th, 1860, the destruction of the Old Summer Palace, constantly remindsus not forgetting the national humiliation, winning honor for our country!
In the autumn of 2011, I came to the old Summer Palace in Beijing.The gate of the garden had long been beyond recognition, what jumped into oureyes were rubbles on the ground. Twostone lions were black and blue all over, one of them was split in two halves,one half was lying on the ground and became a "sleeping lion", theother half was still standing at the base sturdily. These one and a half lionswere standing on both sides of the "door", telling the sad history ofthe Old Summer Palace...
Walking through the "door", relying helplessly on thetwo dead pine trees was a destroyed stone wall, which let me involuntarilythink of the scene of the Eight-Power Allied Forces’ plunder without restraint:some moved away rare treasures, some damaged invaluable treasures that couldnot be carried away, there were still some people shelling the uniquebuildings...
Passing by the ruins, there was a dried-up pond presenting infront of my eyes, it was Hall of National peace. Lying on the shore were 12marble pedestals with scars of woundsstrung together like beads, what still witnessed the former glory on which werethe exquisite but incomplete reliefs, on which the perfect and famous Chinesezodiac heads once placed and disappeared at present for a long time, cluelessand homeless.
"Being a stranger all alone in a strange land, he misses hisrelatives on every festival." I think these missing heads must have beeneagerly looking forward to return to the motherland as soon as possible when weare celebrating the increasingly strength of our motherland
Behind the Hall of National peace was once resplendent andmagnificent Water Spray Timer, now only left a heap of water towers and a pileof pillars: some were cut into two parts in the middle, some were"ripped" into ten thousand periods, and some others had sadly fallento the ground sideways, shouted to the sky... I wondered: so hard stones werealso destroyed in the fire of invasion, it is thus clear that how rampant thegroup of greedy devils were !
Bypassing the Water Spray Timer, we visited the Flower Array, theBird Cage............, which was once a mythical and miraculous "garden ofgardens", now became a heap of rubble under the looting of two days andnights as well as the flames, was in ruins completely!
The fire of the Old Summer Palace has been put out long ago, butthe anger in my heart is burning. The destruction of the Old Summer Palace letsus remember: we have to work hard to be stronger, not to be bullied by others;we have to be constantly stronger to let the motherland take to the road ofrevival, to realize teh great Chinese dream!
圆明园与“中国梦”
“少年智则国智,少年富则国富,少年强则国强......”这句话是我们少年前进的力量！1860年10月6日，圆明园的毁灭，时刻提醒我们勿忘国耻，为国争光！
2011年金秋，我来到北京的圆明园。园门早已面目全非，成为满地碎石。两只石狮遍体鳞伤，其中一只竟然被劈成两半，一半躺在地上成为“睡狮”，另一半仍坚强地站在基座上。这一只半石狮站在“大门”两侧，诉说着圆明园当年悲惨的历史......
走过“大门”，一段被炸毁的石墙无助地靠在两棵枯死的松树上，让我不禁想起八国联军大肆掠夺的情景:有的搬走稀世珍宝，有的毁坏搬不走的无价之宝，还有的炮轰举世无双的建筑……
走过满地碎石的残垣断壁，一处干涸的池塘展现在眼前，它就是海晏堂。岸边12个大理石基座伤痕累累，上面精美绝伦而残缺的浮雕，仍能见证曾经的辉煌。这上面曾放着惟妙惟肖、闻名遐迩的12生肖铜首，此时，它们早已荡然无存，大多不知下落，流落异乡。“独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲。”我想，这些失落的铜首，在我们欢庆祖国日益强大的时候，一定翘首以盼，渴望早日回归祖国！
海晏堂后，是曾经金碧辉煌的大水法。如今只剩下化为石堆的储水塔和一堆七零八落的石柱：一些被拦腰截为两段，一些被“碎尸”万段，还有一些凄惨地横倒在地，仰天长啸......我惊愕：如此坚硬的石柱，在侵略的炮火中也灰飞烟灭，可见当年那群贪婪的小鬼是多么猖狂！
绕过大水法，依次参观了万花阵、养雀笼......当年这里曾是神话和奇迹般的“万园之园”，如今已在两天两夜，火光冲天的洗劫下，变成一片废墟！
圆明园的大火虽然已熄灭，但我心中的怒火正在燃烧。圆明园的毁灭让我们铭记：我们只有努力奋斗，才能强大，才能不被他国欺辱；我们只有不断强大，才能让祖国走上复兴之路，实现伟大的“中国梦”！
