The Unit 731 Site Museum is a place that Bai Yu and others want to go to but dare not go to.
Bai Yu and the others originally planned to go the next day, but Xia Jing persuaded them to stay. She had been to the museum before and had seen the various scenes inside, so she understood how much impact the scenes inside would have on Chinese people.
That's why Xia Jing left this place for the last day. She felt that since Bai Yu and the others were out having fun, their main goal should be to have a good time.
Have a great time for the first few days, and then visit the museum on the last day. This way, you can preserve the visitor's enjoyment while also making their memory of the site museum more lasting.
From queuing at the museum entrance to leaving after the visit, Bai Yu and the others spent more than three hours. These three hours were depressing, and everyone's mood was very low.
But as they reached the museum exit and saw the lights there, for some reason, Bai Yu and the others were filled with hope!
This is a hope for one's motherland, and also a hope for one's nation.
Even after Bai Yu and the others boarded the plane back to Sanya, their hearts remained unsettled for a long time.
Around 8 or 9 p.m., they returned to Phoenix Airport, where Bai's father was already waiting for them at the exit in his car.
Moreover, after learning that Bai Yu and his group had brought a lot of Northeast specialties, Bai's father specially drove over the hotel's pickup truck, and all the luggage and specialties were put in the truck bed.
On their way home, Bai's father first took Li Xue home, then sat at Li Xue's house for a while, where Bai Yu and the other two each got a red envelope. Then he took Wang Hai home, where Bai Yu and Bai Yue got another red envelope. Finally, they went home.
The night they returned home was the last two nights before the New Year. The next day would be New Year's Eve.
It's worth mentioning that this year, there is no Lunar New Year's Eve on the 30th day of the first lunar month; instead, it's the 29th.
By the time Bai Yu finished washing up and returned to her bedroom, it was already the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Although it was past midnight, Bai Yu was not sleepy at all. He organized the videos and photos he had taken during his trip to Harbin over the past few days and then began editing them.
As a short video blogger, Bai Yu had already asked his fans for leave before going to Harbin for a trip, saying that he would update them with travel videos after he returned.
After a semester of managing Bai Yu's short video account, including several major hits at sea and a final major hit while fishing at sea, his number of followers skyrocketed.
Bai Yu now has over a million followers on Kuaishou, officially becoming a million-follower short video blogger, and also a relatively niche one at that – a beachcombing and fishing blogger.
Don't think that bloggers with millions of followers are worthless or that they're everywhere.
The reality is quite different. Keep in mind that it's still 2016, and short video platforms are still in their early stages of development, far from reaching their peak.
Kuaishou is currently in a period where MC singers (or rather, singers) and content featuring women in stockings and long legs dominate the platform.
For a blogger like Bai Yu who focuses on outdoor beachcombing and fishing, having a million followers is already quite an achievement; there aren't many like him across the entire platform.
If Bai Yu hadn't had several big wins, he wouldn't have thought that making a million wouldn't have been so easy.
As part of this Harbin tour, Bai Yu plans to edit the video in three parts: the first part will feature photos of various scenic spots, the second part will showcase Harbin's local delicacies, and the final part will focus on the archaeological site museum.
After working for more than three hours, as dawn was breaking, Bai Yu finally finished editing the three videos and uploaded them to her Kuaishou account.
After browsing through short videos for a while, Bai Yu had only one thought in his mind: he wished Douyin would be launched soon, because the content on Kuaishou was really unwatchable.
With these worries in mind, Bai Yu lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.
Brothers, staying up late is really bad for your health. It will not only affect your own health, but also get you scolded by your parents.
Especially on the day before the Lunar New Year, when everyone in the family is busy, if you sleep in alone, the scolding will be magnified many times over.
Bai Yu stayed up too late editing videos last night, so she slept until noon the next day and didn't even get up for breakfast.
When Bai Yu woke up and went downstairs, he felt that his mother's gaze was a bit off. No matter how she looked at him, it felt awkward. It wasn't until Bai Yu took the initiative to do some chores, chopping up two chickens and killing three fish, that his mother's gaze softened.
Unbeknownst to Bai Yu, the three videos he posted sparked heated discussions online.
The first issue is the discussion about the purchasing power of RMB in Northeast China. Since everyone is using RMB, why is it that the same 60 RMB can only buy half a jin or less of beef in some cities, but can buy a whole plate in Harbin?
Why can a little over 200 yuan feed four or five people to their heart's content with meat in Harbin, while in some cities it's just the price of a single dish? What's the reason behind this?
These are actually not so bad, since everyone is only discussing the differences between the North and the South.
However, the online reviews of the third video, which is from the site museum, are mixed.
Aside from some remotely farmed organisms, most of the netizens' arguments revolved around the timing of Bai Yu's video release, which was in the early morning of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the day before New Year's Eve.
Some netizens felt that Bai Yu's timing in posting the video was inappropriate, given that the Spring Festival is a joyous holiday celebrated by the entire nation.
Is it really appropriate to release a not-so-good, even tragic and humiliating video on the eve of this holiday?
The video posted by Bai Yu was extremely depressing. It was a five-minute video consisting of several short videos and a large number of pictures, with low-saturation, dark colors throughout.
Meanwhile, there is no sound in the first half; the explanation of the videos and pictures is only accompanied by text descriptions, and music is only played when you reach the exit.
Bai Yu used the "Strong Army Battle Song" as background music at the end. He originally wanted to play the national anthem, but after thinking about the National Anthem Law, he abandoned the idea and changed it to the "Strong Army Battle Song".
Another group of netizens stood on the opposite side, believing that such videos could be posted anywhere, even during holidays, and even though our country is now powerful, we still cannot forget that tragic period.
While the online arguments were raging, Bai Yu was chopping chicken pieces in her own kitchen, completely unaware of what was happening online.
By the time Bai Yu found out about this, the video had already gone viral on Kuaishou's trending list, and Bai Yue told him about it after seeing it.
In response to this situation, Bai Yu only pinned one comment in the comments section, which stated that the video was based on what he saw and heard at the site museum, and that he posted the video simply to remember this event, without any other purpose.
He then stopped caring and let netizens argue as they pleased. The rest was none of his business. After all, the original purpose of creating short video platforms was to record the little things in people's lives.
Bai Yu stopped caring, but the matter continued to escalate online. It is reported that after the Spring Festival, when the site museum reopened, the number of visitors was much higher than usual, and even the number of tourists visiting Harbin also increased significantly.
However, none of this mattered to Bai Yu. As a native of Hainan Province, he had no way of knowing anything about the situation in Harbin. He was just an ordinary citizen who was content to live his own life.
At this moment, Bai Yu was frying fish in the kitchen under the guidance of her father.
Because Mr. Bai is a chef, his family prepares a lot of New Year's goods every year. Sometimes, they not only have to prepare for their own family, but also help their relatives prepare some.
For example, Bai Yu's second uncle's family, eldest uncle's family, and youngest uncle's family would give Bai's mother several hundred yuan every year, so that when Bai's mother was preparing for the New Year, she could also help them prepare.
For items like chicken, duck, and fish, Bai's father would prepare several semi-finished products, which his relatives would then pick up from Bai Yu's house the day before New Year's Eve.
With just a little processing, it would make a real highlight of the New Year's Eve family dinner.
Bai Yu is currently frying a pot of mackerel fillets, which are intended for braising. The cooking time for frying the fish doesn't require high precision, so it's a good opportunity for Bai Yu to practice.
Bai Yu spent the entire afternoon in the kitchen, working tirelessly. When he finally emerged from the kitchen, he was covered in the smell of cooking oil, which could be detected from a great distance.
Bai Yu's hard work naturally paid off; he learned to cook at least five dishes from his father in one afternoon.
Although he's currently at the stage where he understands the concepts but his hands aren't quite proficient yet, I believe that as long as Bai Yu is given enough time to practice, he will definitely be able to master all five dishes.
As we approach February 7th, which is Lunar New Year's Eve, our own Chinese New Year is just around the corner.
That morning, Bai Yu didn't have a chance to sleep in. Instead, she got up early, ate breakfast, and started working.
Not only him, but Bai Yue also had to work today; none of the four members of their family were idle.
Bai's father was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, while Bai's mother was cleaning the house inside and out. Bai Yu and Bai Yue were helping Bai's mother, and they also had to take some time to put up the couplets.
As for lying at home doing nothing but waiting to be fed?
Forget about such things in the Bai family. In their family, you only get what you put in. At most, Bai Yue, as the youngest child, can slack off a little when things aren't busy, but Bai Yu has to do everything.
Bai Yu also enjoyed it, after all, it's the family working together that makes it feel like home.
Their family started eating their New Year's Eve dinner around 4 p.m. After dinner, Mr. Bai had to go to work at the hotel.
For a chef like Bai Ba, there will be holidays during the Spring Festival, but the holidays don't belong to Bai Ba. As the head chef, he has to go to the hotel to oversee things. Only with him there will the kitchen be kept in order.
Sanya is a tourist city, and there are so many tourists who come here to spend the Spring Festival in winter. Many people book New Year's Eve dinner at their hotels, so it's even more impossible for Dad Bai to be absent at this time.
So their family had New Year's Eve dinner together in the afternoon, and then Bai's father drove away, leaving the cleaning to Bai Yu and the others.
At 7 p.m., Bai Yu also went out. As it was his first Spring Festival after becoming an adult, his old friends invited him and Wangzi to go online together, and they were going to stay up all night.
They can stay up all night openly and without anyone stopping them or saying anything to them, because they are adults now and have grown up!
