Reader.109 Li Er | the Yellow River has since gone east and gradually become a hanging river on the ground

Hello three astronauts, I am Reader Li Er. I recite to you a fragment of the Yellow River from the novel "Brother Ying Wu".

The Yellow River is our mother river, and I don't know if you can see our mother river in space.

Author: Li Er

The Nine-Curved Yellow River, here a bend.

But only at a height of 10,000 meters can you see this bend.

Slow, cloudy, silhouetted, you can't see its waves, but you can hear its waves.

This is the Yellow River, which is the dividing point of the middle and lower reaches of the Jiuqu Yellow River.

Since then, the Yellow River has gone east and gradually become a hanging river on the ground.

As mentioned earlier, to its south is Songyue, the first land on earth to emerge from the sea, and later became the place where the three religions of Confucianism and Taoism converged, and the pilgrim elk gathered.

This is the Yellow River, and its waves are so deep that they sound so deeply that they play slowly between heaven and earth, like boulders rolling in the deepest part of a dream.

This is the Yellow River, which comes from the mangy Kunlun, from the colorful myth of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and it runs through the fifteen national winds of the Book of Poetry and towards the sea.

Because it crosses through Lefu, Hanfu, Tang poetry, Song Ci and Yuanqu, if you listen closely, you can hear the rhythm of Gongshang Jiaozhengyu in the sound of the waves turning over.

This is the Yellow River, which is older than all time, and more contoured than all space.

But in the thickness and majesty that surged forward, there seemed to be unspeakable loneliness and loneliness.

Brother Ying suddenly wanted to cry.
