Uncle Bi came to the house of his son-in-law in Egypt, which was different from what he imagined
Uncle Bi has always had a keen interest in Egypt. He had heard about the pyramids of Egypt, the Nile, the Luxor Temple, and more, and he was fascinated by every sight. However, his deepest yearning for Egypt stemmed from his son-in-law, a young man who had settled in Egypt. Whenever Uncle Bi thought of his son-in-law's life in Egypt, he felt an inexplicable yearning and curiosity. Until one day, Uncle Bi finally stepped on the plane to Egypt.
The plane landed at Cairo Airport, and Uncle Bi greeted this strange and mysterious country with excitement. He took a bumpy taxi ride all the way to his son-in-law's door. His heart was full of anticipation, imagining that the decoration and atmosphere of his son-in-law's home would definitely complement the ancient civilization of Egypt.
However, when the door opened, the scene that appeared in front of Uncle Bi's eyes was completely unexpected. The son-in-law's home does not have the ancient, mysterious atmosphere he imagined, but a modern apartment, simple and comfortable. The living room is furnished with modern furniture, and the walls are hung with wedding photos of his son-in-law and daughter-in-law, which don't look much different from what he sees at home.
"This place is completely different from the Egypt I imagined!" Uncle Bi sighed in his heart, but he was not disappointed, but was more full of curiosity, wanting to understand this Egypt that was different from his imagination.
The son-in-law and daughter-in-law warmly entertained Uncle Bi and prepared a sumptuous Egyptian meal for him. Uncle Bi tried to eat with his hands, tasting the local characteristics of the desert meal, although the taste was different from what he was used to, but it made him feel a strong exotic style. He listened to his son-in-law and daughter-in-law talk about their life in Egypt, their work, their friends, their habits, everything was so new and incredible.
During his few days in Egypt, Uncle Bi experienced many amazing sights and cultures. He went to the pyramids and witnessed the ancient architectural marvels and felt the splendor of Egyptian civilization, he took a Nile cruise and felt the tranquility and beauty on the sparkling river, he visited the Luxor Temple, and was fascinated by the ancient frescoes and stone carvings, as if he had traveled back to ancient times.
Behind all this, Uncle Bi deeply felt the love and companionship of his family. The son-in-law and daughter-in-law took the trouble to introduce him to all things Egypt, took him to every corner of the city, and gave him a deep understanding of this country that he had longed for for a long time.
However, in addition to the collision of attractions and cultures, Uncle Bi also discovered some Egyptian realities. He saw the poverty and congestion in the city, and felt the pressure and difficulty of people's lives. He saw children begging on the streets, old people who had been forgotten, and all kinds of social problems. This gave him a deeper understanding of the country and the diversity and complexity of the world.
In the end, Uncle Bi left Egypt with a lot of memories and feelings. Although he did not see the Egypt he imagined, he discovered a more real and rich Egypt. In this country, the old and the modern, the traditional and the present coexist, forming a brilliant and colorful picture.
Back at home, Uncle Bi recorded everything he had in Egypt with his camera and words, and he shared his feelings and experiences with his family and friends. He found that travel is not only a sightseeing, but also a spiritual baptism and growth. In that strange land, he found a more authentic self and a richer life.
Therefore, when we face the unknown and unfamiliar, we might as well keep an open mind, explore and experience, and perhaps have unexpected gains and insights. After all, the world is so vast, life is so colorful, and we will always have endless journeys of exploration and discovery.
