On May 30, 2021, I posted a short article – two photos under the North Fortress Monument of East Jiguan Mountain. One is a group photo of the Japanese army, and the other is a group photo of a young man in Lushun with the monument. The young man, who took a picture with the monument, was different, and he climbed on the stele and sat the inscription inscribed by the general under his ass. This method of taking pictures is very creative. The young man's name is Wang Shuai, and his net name is Nanman (Protector of Shenzhou). He has studied the modern history of Lushun and is passionate about the collection of cultural relics, especially the protection of old buildings.
The day before yesterday, I posted a short article - there was a robbery hole in a deserted grave in Lushun, which attracted the attention of Wang Shuai. A day later, he alone found the deserted tomb with the robbery hole and rubbed the tombstone.
A person squatting in a deserted cemetery and squatting at the head of the grave does need some courage. After the monument was finished, he lay down on the robbery cave, carefully inspected the situation in the tomb, and put his two hands into the tombstone to take pictures.
In the evening, Wang Shuai sent me the photo, and did not forget to say, Teacher Li, you use the photo. There was never a distinction between you and me, and a few evenings ago, he asked me if I had a picture of the monument to the ruins of the Hirokai Shrine erected by Tomioka, and I put down my dishes and chopsticks and sent him a picture. I'm just a little worried about this guy either going up high or drilling holes. What if you accidentally fall into the tomb while photographing the tomb? Can't climb up, shouting will not be heard, that is not ruined? If I look up how people fell into it, saying that they fell into it after reading Teacher Li's article, then I can't get rid of it. This kind of outdoor investigation with certain dangers must be accompanied by a group, and cannot be traveled alone.
Wang Shuai
Wang Shuai sometimes discussed some issues with me, and he was very thoughtful. For example, this time to expand the monument, he found that one of the 12 people who fell was called Zhang Yuting, and "Rain Pavilion" was Zhang Zuolin's word. He suspected that he had the same name as Zhang Zuolin. The reason is that, according to the order of honor and inferiority, Zhang's name should not be engraved on the back of others. This analysis makes a lot of sense.
In 2020, the stone wall base of the bell tower of lushun West Honganji Temple was painted with a very bright color, which did not make Wang Shuai angry, in his opinion, it was only people who did not understand history who could produce that effect. The guard tower of the logistics department of a certain garrison was repaired and renovated, and he was angry again. Because he knew that the gate yard of the original building was much more beautiful than the current one.
The study of Lushun's modern history has serious faults and a lack of young people, especially young people like Wang Shuai, who are only in their 20s.
