Bai Xuewen (Retired policeman of Horqin District Public Security Bureau, Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia)
In the first month of 2019, five people from the Tongliao Old Writers Association traveled to Europe. The five were: Xue Yantian, honorary chairman of the Old Writers Association, Zhou Dejun, vice chairman, Wen Zhenlin, sculptor, An Xiuqin, and me (local writers).
Destinations: Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria. Most of these seven countries are in Europe. Therefore, I call this act "Travelogue". Compared with Wu Cheng'en's "Travels," the personnel mix of his "Travels" is the most perfect combination in the world. We are too: Chairman Xue is the Tang monk, Zhou Dejun is Wukong, Wen Zhenlin is the Eight Precepts, An Xiuqin is like a sha monk, and my surname is Bai, which is Bai.
It is said that the five masters and apprentices, carrying the documents of the fallen customs, set off from Tongliao and arrived at the Capital International Airport on February 23. The Boeing 787 passenger plane carrying 300 passengers roared, took off into the air, sent us to a height of 10,000 meters, all the way to the "Sun", the voyage was 11580 kilometers, Vietnam Kazakhstan and Belarus, ten hours later landed at the Netherlands Amsterdam Airport.
This highly developed capitalist country is an eye-opener when it first entered the Netherlands, and is known all over the world for its "seawall", the seawall, tulips, and a tolerant society. Drug trade is allowed here, pornographic establishments are operated according to law, and scantily clad prostitutes watch from the window with cigarettes in their hands and leisurely wait for night to fall. The Netherlands was also the first country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage and euthanasia.
The Dutchman was tall, and the men walking on the street were more than one meter and ninety meters tall. In the wooden shoe workshop, a strong man gave us a performance, he was tall and handsome, this man could be a movie star in China, but in the Netherlands, such a person with such a shape could only perform and make wooden shoes for tourists every day, and his elegant movements, flowing hairstyle, and tall figure were unmatched among our group of tourists. In the past, the Dutch made wooden shoes by hand, and it took three months to make a pair of wooden shoes, but now it is mechanized production, and it takes only twenty minutes to make a pair of wooden shoes.
The Netherlands is a country below sea level, and AmsTeudan Airport is four meters below sea level. The Dutch used ⻛⻋ pumping water to obtain large tracts of land. We went to visit the ⻛⻋ village, which is like a fairyland on the shore of the lake, a huge "", with a wide interior that can live as a family, lined up on the seashore, and they can pump the gushing mountain meltwater into the sea, which is simply incredible. Pumping water to create land, the sea dam is indispensable, Amsterdam has one of the most famous dams in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands is everywhere " black and white big cows, this kind of cattle are also available, pastoral " called it black and white flowers, but not as big as the Netherlands, there is no distinction between black and white, but it is a real relative of the Dutch cow, many years ago, away from home, may be a little genetically lost.
There is also the famous Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, and the great painter Van Gogh is famous all over the world, and his paintings cannot but be seen. But this painting of the post-Impressionist master disappointed us, the foreigners, and one of his most famous paintings was called Sunflowers, and I did not see at all that this rich was not as rich as peonies, as gorgeous as roses, and where the few sunflowers inserted in the vase were good.
Chairman Xue said: This is still a famous painting? We don't know how many times better Than His paintings are.
The tour guide said that Vincent was not famous at all in his early years of painting, but later he once fell mad, and he used sunflowers to ward off his pain. After the painting was finished, it was given to others, and others thought it was a madman's illness in the doodle, so he threw it away. One of his best friends got the painting and didn't throw it away, and the painting was painted on a wooden board, and he used it to block the chicken nest.
In 1890, Van committed suicide by holding a gun aloft, at the age of 37. After van Gogh's paintings went all the way up, the price quickly soared to tens of thousands of pounds, and his good friend was shocked when he learned about it, and when he woke up from a dream, he quickly wiped the sunflower that blocked the chicken nest clean and carefully collected it. Later, after several changes of hands, in 1987, the painting was auctioned off by the wealthy Japanese company Yasuda for 39 million US dollars (nearly 400 million yuan), a record price that was driven by the world.
When you go to Europe, you don't look at churches, just like when you go to Beijing, you don't see Tian'an," it is said that there are more than a thousand churches in Europe, with a long history, all over the city and countryside, and are holy places for Christians to be baptized in the soul. The tour guide led us to see the big ones, and successively visited Cologne Cathedral, Caesar's Cathedral, versailles, the Louvre Museum, and Notre Dame Cathedral. The largest temple in China is the Foguang Temple on Mount Wutai, but it is nothing compared to these European cathedrals.
In front of Cologne Cathedral, tourists from all over the world rub shoulders. When I took the picture, a little girl in her twenties came up to me: Gong Nishiwa!
I heard it mean "hello" in Japanese, and I wore glasses on my Asian face again, and she thought I was Japanese.
I gestured to ask her what was going on, and it turned out that I was going to take a picture of the three little girls. I took the phone, and in the camera, three Japanese girls in their twenties were beautiful, with good faces and beautiful immortals. I returned the phone, the little girl still thanked me in Japanese, and I casually said: "Oh! Japanese with a Chinese accent is estimated to be funny and ridiculous, and the little girl smiles and is full of beauty.
Notre Dame de Paris is ninety meters high, and thirty years ago, the movie "Notre Dame de Paris" was broadcast in China, and the story of the bell ringer Card Modo and the beauty Esmeralda is well known to everyone. As a result, Chinese tourists flocked to Notre Dame Cathedral like pilgrimages.
In the eyes of foreigners, Chinese tourists are the richest, which has attracted a large number of gypsy professional thieves, mainly girls of about twenty years old, who gather in front of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris to steal Chinese tourists.
I saw a little girl in her twenties closely following a middle-aged woman in our group, quickly pulled a purse from her backpack, and then did not look away, lightning out of the wallet a wad of euros, " there was an ID card inside, immediately turned around and hurried to catch up with the woman, put the wallet back in the backpack. At this time, the victim was completely unaware, I reminded her that she had been stolen, she hurriedly checked the backpack, ⻅ the ID card is still there, there is actually a feeling of turning sorrow into joy for the rest of her life, she is glad that the most important ID card has not been lost, and only part of the small money has been lost.
These gypsy girls are professional thieves, and professional thieves have rules of conduct, stealing only euros, and all other items are returned. Thieves also have a way, really dedicated!
All this happened under the eyes of the Paris Mounted Police, with teams of mighty mounted police straddling the tall heads and patrolling back and forth, ignoring them. Europeans were nurtured by Christianity from an early age, their blood was full of the genes of Jesus, and the great Bible was immortal for thousands of years, and this brilliant work guided them to pity the poor and the weak, and to tolerate the existence of small evils in the world in broad daylight.
If this happened in Tongliao, with my thirty-six years of professional police habits, when the road was uneven and the sword was drawn to help, I would definitely rush forward and take down the thief. Although I had the national emblem flashing on my head and the police rank on my shoulders, at this time in Paris, France, I was in Pingyang and there was nothing I could do. Rushing to make a move may lead to international disputes.
But there was still a thief who crashed into the muzzle of my gun, and while passing through a narrow one, there were more than twenty gypsy girls on both sides picking in the name of selling souvenirs. I didn't look good, put my valuables in my underwear before entering, and then pulled the zipper of my coat pocket, and as I traveled, I felt a hand pull open like a boiling pot to catch copper coins, and the speed of the movement was amazing. As soon as I grabbed the dexterous and silky white hand, I turned my head and glared, and the young gypsy girl drew her hand calmly, smiling, a great general⻛ degree, what a natural world-class thief!
Located in the middle of Europe, the Alps are snow-covered all year round, famous all over the world, the mountains are covered with pine and snow, the castles are towering, the scenery is amazing, and tourists from all over the world come from thousands of miles.
On 26 February, we arrived at the Swanstein Castle scenic spot on the Alps Hill in Germany. Since I was a teenager, I have been full of emotions and ascended to the top, although the level is not high, I can be regarded as learning from the ancients. In the Alps I blurted out a poem:
Alps
Standing between heaven and earth.
Look up at the snow,
Raise your hand and touch the sky.
Red Sun,
Swan lying purple smoke.
Green pine welcomes distant visitors,
Snow sent back to jun.
On 2 March, we climbed the Schilthorn of the Alps in Switzerland, overlooking thousands of towering snow peaks pointing like swords into the blue sky. The Swiss can walk and ski, and only hundreds of athletes jump down the three-kilometer peak at a 65-degree slope, and the scene is spectacular. I chanted again:
Ascend to The Far Horizon Europa,
The earth gives birth to crystal flowers.
Eight hundred athletes ⻜ the bottom of the valley,
Three thousand snow swords shot into the sky.
In the revolving restaurant at the top of Sherlang Peak, the tour guide actually arranged for the whole group to eat a meal, sit and watch the snowy mountains, and enjoy the beauty. It is said that the price of this meal is not cheap, very luxurious, and the tour guide is not small.
Travel in Europe do not have to worry about eating, Europe is now the European Union, highways in all directions, just a customs clearance document to travel through the countries of the Union. On the side of the highway, the streets and alleys of various countries are full of Chinese restaurants, the vast majority of which are opened by wenzhou people in Zhejiang. Wenzhou people are Chinese gypsies who have traveled the world since childhood and have been passed down from generation to generation. Wenzhou people have always been known for their hard-working and hard-working, and they have not yet been thieves in their inheritance profession.
On the way to the tour, there were several times when the travel agency was not responsible for dinner, and every day, Zhou Dejun, who served as Wukong's color, was able to show his talents, and he actually bought a bottle of Beijing Erguotou in Piacenza, Italy, and this bottle of Beijing Erguotou was doubly worth more than 25 euros, selling for 25 euros without bargaining, which was equivalent to 190 yuan of human yuan, which was 15 times higher than the 12 or 10 yuan in Beijing.
"The flower path has not been swept by guests, and Peng " is now open for the king.". Although "Pan Pi City is far from tasteless, the bottle restaurant is poor and only old pickled". However, in a small hotel under the Alps, a few people led by Chairman Xue drank two pots of squeezed vegetables and beef jerky, such as drinking the jade liquid of the whole country, singing and indulging in wine, and almost forgetting to return to their hometown.
In Florence, Italy, we visited Dante's former home, and in front of the statue of this world-class poet, my class " got an axe and composed a poem.
Tracing Luo ⻢ Worship the poet,
Cross the sea and cross the ocean to knock⻔.
Tuas went his own way,
Long chants accompanied by poetry souls.
We went up 86 km and came to Pisa, Italy, home to the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. I didn't expect to be under the Leaning Tower of Pisa in my lifetime, full of excitement and excitement. Immediately give poetry lyrics:
I have long heard that this tower has a must,
Nothing to worry about this tower tilt.
I didn't expect to be lucky in this life,
Take care of the difference!
Italian culture is deep, but Chinese stay in Italy is a bit troublesome, Italians sleep on the bed without a quilt, Guro ⻢ the body is strong and strong to this day, naked and sleep does not hurt " cold, There is no quilt in the Italian hotel. In recent years Chinese have become rich, like a tide into Italy tourism, Italian hotels with the times, specially prepared blankets for Chinese tourists, put on the bar, you go to give you.
Entering Italy on February 27, staying in the Italian town of Padua at night, the snow-capped Alps in the distance and the chills of the mountains. As soon as I came to the bar, the service lady who was full of emotions had already handed over a thick blanket.
After that, we went to Lucerne, Switzerland, and saw the world-famous "saddest and most touching stone", a lion with a middle arrow, carved in honor of 786 Swiss mercenaries who died heroically.
In Paris we visited the Palace of Versailles, boated the Seine, and wrote another poem under the Triumph:
Peace of mind under the Arc de Triomphe,
Laugh at the hero over triumph.
For a long time for the country to remove the evil,
Devoted himself to the year of death.
From the police to the military double dedication,
Loyalty and filial piety are a dilemma.
Although I am not in the waiting list in this life,
Several degrees for the "solution upside down".
On March 5, a Mercedes-Benz bus carrying more than 60 passengers pulled off the highway to The Plaza des Villeneuves in Brussels, Belgium, the birthplace of communism. More than 170 years ago, Kes wrote the Communist Manifesto in a café on the left side of the square. Since then, the specter of communism has lingered in Europe and spread all over the world. I improvised:
City Hall Hall He Canran,
Ma Gong hereby makes a declaration.
On the second floor, a lying cattle field,
Plough the global communist fields.
One of the tourists is free shopping, the location is selected in Lucerne, Switzerland, mainly to buy watches, several streets in Lucerne are selling watches, in recent years mainly for Chinese tourists with huge sums of money and thousands of dollars, the counter blonde young beauty, Chinese answers are flowing, although the daily transaction volume is amazingly large, but there are no fakes.
We "know foreign countries" anytime and anywhere, the European economy is quite developed, and the moral quality of people is very high. No one on the street was loud, no one was looking at their phones, no one was spitting, no one was violating traffic rules...
In Frankfurt, Germany, I got up early in the morning for a walk, the wide avenue was spotless, and when I was ready to cross the intersection, I looked left and right, and I couldn't imagine that all the "" stopped and let me go first. I waved my thanks, and the drivers all waved to me with a slight smile on their faces.
On March 6th, we boarded the return plane and looked back on the 13-day journey, from the Netherlands to Germany, from Italy to Switzerland, from France to Belgium to Austria, mountains and rivers, cities and villages, exotic styles... It's like a wonderland on earth.
Over the years, I have traveled to many parts of the country by car, never dared to think of being able to go abroad, this trip to Europe was an eye-opener, so far, I think there are very few places better than Europe.
Once the sea was shipwrecked as water, except for the Wushan Mountain, it was not a cloud. Since then, many relatives and friends have invited me to travel, but my interest has greatly decreased, my aesthetic fatigue, and I have no intention of going again for the time being.
This time the European seven countries tour, we joined the Shenzhou travel agency, the price is pro ⺠, the whole 13 days cost 12800 yuan, in addition to nothing. There was no forced shopping and no fraud during the trip, and it was a pleasant trip that I still remember.
Dear officials, and the european tour has been recorded as above, for you to enjoy after tea and dinner. There are some allusions and legends in the interior that have not been verified, and if there is any mistake, you will forgive me.
