During the more than 3 hours of visiting the Shaanxi Archaeological Museum, Ren Weixiong and his wife were like primary school students who came here to study, watching, asking, remembering, shooting, and sometimes even more seriously than the students around them who really studied. Ren Weixiong frankly said that there is too much knowledge that needs to be supplemented, and as a Chinese, it is the most basic requirement to learn Chinese history well and be familiar with Chinese history. "In the past, when I was studying in Hong Kong, for various reasons, history textbooks were not very rich, and although I have long passed the age of study, such history classes must be supplemented." Ren Weixiong said that today's opportunity is very rare, so you can't waste a minute and a second.
Ren moved from Hong Kong to Beijing in 2008 and was stationed in Xi'an in early 2010. During this period, he briefly returned to Hong Kong for two years, and then returned to Xi'an with his wife. At the end of 2019, Ren Weixiong aimed at the opportunities brought about by the implementation of the Foreign Investment Law in the mainland, and founded a financial technology company with his wife and settled in Xi'an.
When he was young, hong Kong school textbooks were not covered much
Talking about the understanding of national history, Ren Weixiong said that when he was a child in Hong Kong, the history textbooks were not rich, and many things were missing, until he was stationed in Beijing and Xi'an to work, he really had a deeper understanding of China's splendid history and culture. After starting a business in Xi'an, whenever there is free time, he will go to museums or historical sites to experience the country's profound history and culture; on the one hand, he is constantly learning and constantly accumulating new understanding and new feelings about national history and traditional Chinese culture. He said bluntly that he enjoyed the process very much, and sometimes felt like a student, in his own experience, constantly enriching his historical knowledge, improving his cultural connotation, and making up for the lesson that had been missing.
More Hong Kong people will come to the perception after the epidemic
Different from most of the current museums that mainly exhibit exhibitions, the Shaanxi Archaeological Museum combines cultural relics with the background of excavation, not only exhibiting the original state and soil structure of cultural relics buried, as well as the process of excavation and excavation of cultural relics. At the same time, in accordance with the method of archaeology, using the perspective of archaeology, along the historical context to interpret cultural relics and interpret Chinese culture.
"This is a very good way for the audience not only to see the cultural relics, but to perceive history through the cultural relics." Ren Weixiong said that at the Shaanxi Archaeological Museum, he immersed himself in the complete archaeological process through the perspective of archaeologists, tracing ancient sources, exploring historical sites, listening to allusions, appreciating national treasures, and repairing cultural relics. Truly deeply appreciate how Chinese has come from generation to generation over thousands of years, the greatness of Chinese history, the profundity and longevity of Chinese civilization, and I feel extremely proud. "It would be nice if the museum could set up an online live guided tour so that Hong Kong students would have the opportunity to experience it online, even if they can't experience it themselves."
"Look forward to a day like this, come early." Ren Weixiong and Mai Xiaozhen hope that after the end of the epidemic, more Hong Kong people will be able to come here to feel the fullness and solidity brought about by the thickness of civilization.
