laitimes

In late autumn, I was in the Yuanmingyuan

It is a heritage park

Once known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens"

More than a hundred years ago

A fire burned it beyond recognition

Set fire to the British and French forces

Until today

The two robbers have not yet been punished

Not even an apology

Autumn five years ago

I walked in for the first time

Tourists are weaving

The grass is green

There was not a hint of ruin at all

The state is not the country of the year

The people are not the people of that year

Stone pillars, stone steps, stone blocks...

It is still a remnant of that year

In the textbook

This is a humiliating history

And in reality

It is a veritable park

In that late autumn

I went

Nothing particularly found in the landscape
