After Chen Zihan went downstairs, he first went to the front desk to check out of a room, and then went to buy breakfast.
When he brought back breakfast, Lu Ruorong had just finished washing up.
"Eating breakfast in front of a beautiful woman is truly a feast for the eyes!" Chen Zihan looked at Lu Ruorong greedily, and then looked flattering as if he wanted to feed Lu Ruorong.
Lu Ruorong couldn't stand Chen Zihan's "deep love" a little bit, and snatched the chopsticks with a red face, not letting Chen Zihan feed her.
It felt good to wake up early in the morning and Lu Ruorong was in a good mood.
They planned to go to Zhonghuamen first.
Zhonghuamen Castle was not far from the hotel, so Chen Zihan suggested walking there.
"Walk to help digest your food, so that no one will always think you are fat!"
"Hmph!" Lu Ruorong snorted and took Chen Zihan's arm. "I won't be able to walk soon anyway, so you have to be my porter."
"That's absolutely fine. With your small size, it's no problem for me to carry you all the time."
"Don't cheat and refuse to carry me."
"Of course not, I speak with integrity!"
Lu Ruorong returned a bright smile.
"Tell me about the history of Jinling!" After walking for a while, Lu Ruorong asked Chen Zihan, "Give me a surprise!"
Chen Zihan did not refuse and told him everything he knew.
Shen Wansan, a wealthy man in the Ming Dynasty, donated a huge amount of money to build the city of Nanjing, but was eventually killed by Zhu Yuanzhang and his property was confiscated.
After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, but was eventually usurped by Zhu Di, and Nanjing was changed from the capital to the southern capital.
He started from the Ming Dynasty.
Lu Ruorong listened very carefully and discussed with Chen Zihan from time to time.
After buying a ticket and entering the Zhonghuamen Scenic Area, Chen Zihan talked about the disaster that Jinling City suffered during the great Patriotic War.
During the Battle of Nanjing, the Chinese 74th Army was responsible for defending this area, facing the Japanese 9th Division, 114th Division, and 6th Division. From December 10 to 11, 1937, the two armies engaged in fierce fighting around Yuhuatai and Zhonghuamen.
The place where Huang Xiaojuan’s grandfather’s Central Teaching Corps was stationed was Yuhuatai.
The Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, which defended the Xiaoling Mausoleum, Guanghua Gate, and Yuhuatai, inflicted heavy casualties on Japan.
The Chinese defenders fought to the end despite having no reinforcements and running out of ammunition and food.
The Battle of Nanjing ultimately failed, and the Central Training Corps, fully equipped with German weapons, was completely wiped out in this battle.
They suffered heavy casualties in the battle, but this was not the cause of their downfall. After the order to retreat was issued, the chaos and the lack of leadership in the situation, coupled with the fact that the Yangtze River had been blocked by the Japanese army, ultimately led to their defeat at the Yangtze River.
What followed was a brutal atrocity, in which hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers and civilians died tragically at the hands of the invaders.
"There used to be four large characters on Zhonghua Gate: 'Swear to Revenge the Nation'." Standing on the top of Zhonghua Gate, Chen Zihan said to Lu Ruorong with a touch of emotion, "That was a humiliating era. Our country was backward, so we were beaten. But back then, there were still so many people of noble character and lofty ideals who, in order to resist foreign enemies, spared no effort to shed their blood and bravely supported the backbone of the Chinese nation with their flesh and blood. It was because of their perseverance that we survived and drove the invaders out of China. It was because of our unyielding spirit that the People's Republic of China was established, and the Chinese nation has risen anew. Every inch of land is shed with blood. We must never forget the heroes who fought for our country, no matter which side they came from!"
"Those who fight for their country are heroes, no matter where they come from!" Lü Ruorong was also moved by Chen Zihan's deep affection and said emotionally: "It is because of their desperate fight that we have our final victory. We must never forget those heroes who fought for our country."
While saying these words, Lu Ruorong held Chen Zihan's hand tightly.
All the little resentments she had felt towards Chen Zi Han during the past period of time disappeared without a trace with his emotional words just now.
She even developed a feeling of confidant towards Chen Zihan!
