Soldiers in military uniforms were marching towards the city wall in a goose-step manner. Their movements were in perfect unison, as if they had been cast from the same mold.
Sun Ye had observed carefully. The arc of the arm swing and the height of the leg lift were exactly right. The sound of the leg landing was loud and powerful, and her heartbeat also followed suit.
My eyes naturally fell on the national flag carried by the flag-raiser. The red color was particularly eye-catching against the military green.
The team continued to move forward. When passing by Sun Ye, Sun Ye looked at the soldiers with resolute and serious faces, their hands tightly gripping the bayonets. The bayonets flashed white light from time to time under the reflection of the sunlight, looking extremely sharp.
The tip of the knife was pointing at the neck of the person in front of him. If the person in front hesitated for a moment, Sun Ye had no doubt that the sharp knife would pierce the person's neck and blood would spill on the spot.
They move forward courageously without hesitation or delay, and even if knives rain from the sky, it cannot stop their progress.
Sun Ye was greatly shocked. Even the flag-raising ceremony was so majestic. One could imagine what it would be like on the battlefield.
If the elf Sen was also so courageous and resolute, he wouldn't need to copy everything. As long as he had one-tenth or one-twelfth of his momentum, he wouldn't have to worry about the orcs invading his territory.
The flag-raiser walked up to the flag-raising platform, followed closely by two flag-bearers. The rest of the soldiers moved in unison to the front, facing the national flag, with their bayonets retracted and placed at the sides of their legs.
There was silence.
The music that came from somewhere was the prelude to the national anthem that Sun Ye was familiar with.
The flag bearer saluted again and again at the same time, and the flag-raiser raised the national flag. The curled national flag stretched out, and as the breeze blew, the national flag rose slowly.
"Arise, those who refuse to be slaves, and give our flesh and blood..."
Sun Ye also raised his hand to salute at some point and sang the national anthem together.
The people around him did the same. Everyone sang loudly, and a surge of passion burst out from their chests.
Sun and Ye were caught in the middle, deeply infected by the emotions and filled with great enthusiasm. With such a united people and such a moving country, it is the expectation and the will of the people to stride towards the world and surpass other countries.
We will be invincible and victorious!
The national flag rose to the top and the singing ended, but the turmoil in his heart lingered for a long time. Sun Ye looked at his saluting hand inexplicably, feeling a little bit unbelievable for a moment.
Everything she did seemed to be instinctive, from the heart, and naturally, without any compulsion at all. It was truly a magical country.
The ability to assimilate is passed down through the blood, and one unconsciously hopes for the prosperity of the country.
She was sick in the brain, and she loved the disease, depended on it, and did her best to strengthen it.
The private and the flag-raiser marched away in step, the flag still fluttering in the wind. Sun Ye looked up, the morning light fell on the flag, the stars on the flag were shining, and the sun and the moon were shining together.
She is proud and touched to be born as a Chinese.
The crowd gradually calmed down, stopped to stare, and calmed their inner excitement before slowly dispersing.
"That's great." Ma Qiuhong said this with a sigh.
"Yeah, that's great." Sun Ye nodded in agreement.
"It would be great if my parents could also come and watch the flag-raising ceremony. What they long for is to see it..." Ma Qiuhong continued to mutter.
"There will be a chance." Sun Ye said affirmatively, patting Ma Qiuhong on the shoulder.
"Really?"
"If you work hard, you can make it happen. Then our two families can go shopping together again."
"Yeah." Ma Qiuhong nodded vigorously.
"I want to take my parents to visit the Great Wall. It's the Great Wall."
"Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, all I see is wilderness..."
"The Great Wall in snow described in the poems of great men is so beautiful and magnificent. I want to see it for myself."
Ma Qiuhong was very excited, counting and planning one by one.
Sun Ye nodded in agreement, saying that the scenery was so beautiful and was waiting for you to come and enjoy it.
"Let's go get something to eat. I'm a little hungry."
"Oh well."
"How about going to the Forbidden City after dinner?"
"Uh-huh."
It's vacation time, there's no need to be on edge all the time, it's okay to relax a bit.
On the way to the state-owned restaurant, Sun Ye saw that Ma Qiuhong was quite active and kept talking.
As for Wang Qingqing, she went back with her parents after the flag-raising ceremony. After all, she was quite embarrassed. She still needed time to calm down after being treated like that by Sun Ye.
The aftereffects of raising the national flag are quite serious. The bright red flag keeps popping up in Sun Ye's mind from time to time, as if someone had carved it into his mind with a knife.
Sun Ye sat in the lobby, his chin supported by his hand. The state-owned hotel was almost entirely occupied by people who had just returned from the square, and all he could hear was a discussion about raising the national flag.
"I also want to be a flag-raiser and raise the national flag myself."
"Come on, you're the only one who wants to be the flag-raiser? Then I can be one too."
"But I... I've touched the flag, and you, you charge forward, you can't touch it..."
"Hey! I gave it to you. I told the old company commander..."
"You fucking fart!"
Two people in their forties started arguing at the table, with equal aggression and neither of them trusting the other.
Sun Ye listened and took a look. He was an elderly man who refused to admit his age. He was about the same age as his grandmother. The content of the conversation sounded like that of a veteran who had served in the army and fought in wars.
"Alright, alright, no, no, it's the old company commander who took a liking to you. You're brave and fearless."
The other old man shook his beard and finally stopped with satisfaction.
"It's time for us to go back. We've been in the capital for over ten days now. We've visited everyone we should have visited and seen everything we should have seen..."
"Well, let's go back. I'm a little homesick."
“…”
"Grandpa, the food is here, let's eat, eat."
Sun Ye's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and the noisy hall drowned out the sound of her tapping.
"Ye Zi, let's go see the Forbidden City."
"Oh, okay, I'll go after dinner."
"Two servings of green pepper and shredded pork rice, number 28!" the aunt at the window shouted like a loud speaker.
Sun Ye quickly stood up. They were number 28. Seeing that Ma Qiuhong was about to stand up, she quickly asked her to sit down and said:
"You sit down, I'll go get it. There are too many people here now. If someone else takes the seat when we come back, we'll have no choice but to squat in the corner with our plates to eat."
Ma Qiuhong looked around and saw that there were indeed too many people in the state-owned restaurant. She then looked again and saw that people were still coming in continuously.
He nodded with lingering fear, spread his feet, and said, "Ye Zi, you go ahead. I'll take this spot here."
Sun Ye squeezed his way to the window, returned his number to the aunt who served the food, and walked back with two servings of green pepper and shredded pork rice.
"Please move aside."
"Please move aside. The food spilled on you."
Sun Ye noticed that when she said the latter part of the sentence, the people in front of her moved aside very quickly, as if it was none of their business and they just stood aside.
"Eat quickly."
There are a lot of green peppers and the meat is visible, but Sun Ye thinks there could be a little more meat.
She loves meat!
