"Of course there is a way, and it is so simple that it is unimaginable..." The group of people walked forward slowly. The warm and gentle sea breeze in the morning carried the breath of the sea along the mountains and blew through the blocks, blowing on people's faces. It's extremely refreshing.
The older translator spent his own money to buy a few glasses of juice with smoothies for the group. Fresh pineapple, star fruit, orange and sugar cane juice were packed in iron buckets on the street. A cup was cheap for a dime. Affordable, there are many ice-making factories in Ryukyu. You only need to add an extra dime to the juice for smoothie. The smoothie slowly soaks in the juice, which makes people feel so refreshed.
Andreev took a glass of pineapple juice and took a big sip. The fresh fruity aroma brought a coolness to his stomach, and his spirit was immediately lifted. "What a good thing! I didn't expect that Naha's products are so rich... But I feel the most What interests me most is the problem just now, how did you solve it in the end?"
The older translator paid the vendor and said without looking back, "The solution was actually thought up by the Prime Minister. This problem in Dingzi Alley is really bothering everyone. We have found that all systems can alleviate this problem. It can be greatly slowed down but it cannot be cured." , until the Prime Minister accidentally found out about it..."
"Prime Minister Xiao thought for a moment, took the plan into consideration, and then arranged for his men to make preparations. The operation began that night... First, the neighbors in the block acted in unison to remove all the garbage in the corner, and then the masons followed up and removed it. The polluted walls and seriously damaged street bricks must be replaced..."
"The side wall was repainted in just one night, and even the street floor was replaced with bluestone bricks... Early the next morning, several big-nosed foreigners came here with a group of masons, and covered the wall with curtains. It was wrapped up for half a month..."
"What do you think they did?" the translator asked.
Andreev shook his head numbly. The older translator pointed out that Stator Alley is two hundred meters ahead. You'd better go and take a look for yourself.
The group of people moved forward quickly, and soon there was a narrow street entrance on the left side of the main street that could only accommodate three people. This was originally an ordinary alley among the countless alleys in Naha, and there were no shops in it. There are no warehouses, only ordinary residents, mainly middle class, quiet and peaceful.
Andreev was shocked as soon as he entered the street. He found that the walls on both sides were completely different from other streets and alleys. Most of them were white walls outside, but here were beautiful painted walls.
Both sides of the entire alley are filled with beautiful ocean scenery. Above are the sky, birds, scorching sun and countless islands. In the middle of the wall is the long dividing line between the waves and the sky.
Looking down, all kinds of swimming fish and marine life are vividly displayed in the blue sea. You can see sharks chasing their prey, you can also see groups of swordfish, and lonely sea turtles flying freely in the sea. , the crab in the corner is so powerful and domineering that it seems to be about to rush out.
This is definitely not the graffiti of an ordinary child. On the surface, Andreev looks like a rude warrior, but he actually comes from a declining aristocratic family in Tsarist Russia. His aristocratic education since childhood was very strict.
He has the ability to appreciate paintings, sculptures and other artistic works. The kind of realistic painting in front of him is definitely not something that Asian painters can accomplish. There must be many European painters in this corridor of paintings.
Going further inside, the marine themes become more colorful, and the documentary style quickly changes to mythology. However, the materials here are all various marine mythological stories in Asia, such as Jingwei Reclamation, Clam Girl, Pearl Fishers, Haenyeo, Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals There are even dragon kings who can make clouds and rain...
After walking for more than 150 meters, several translators pointed with their hands, "Ahead is the original garbage dump..." Andreev took a closer look and was stunned. What kind of garbage dump was this? The entire side wall was actually It's all relief.
Andreev couldn't understand the subject matter at all. The marble statues were inlaid on the wall. The whole wall told a story. It seemed like a group of people fighting, someone flying in the sky, and a dragon king moving in the clouds and making rain. There seems to be a monk temple or something.
"This relief mural is based on the Chinese people's favorite story about playing in the water and flooding the golden mountain, and the White Snake and Fahai fighting. You may not understand this story, but you can't deny that this mural is so beautiful!"
At this moment Andreev already understood, "I understand, it's still the same principle you said at the beginning, is it to use the environment to subtly change people's hearts?"
"Yes, the Prime Minister said, since so many people urinate and throw garbage in that corner, it shows that the environment there has a subtle influence on people. People must feel that it is a garbage dump to do this. move!"
"Do you want to change people's hearts? Then change the environment first and turn the garbage dump into a beautiful place that everyone can cherish. Do you think there are still people willing to destroy it?"
"We Chinese have hired many European sculptors and artists. They have carved statues and painted buildings for us. It is not a problem to solve an alley. Since this place has been turned into a clean art palace, we don't need to spend more money at all. With a little effort, the people around me even voluntarily clean this place every day..."
"Who doesn't want their home to live in a scroll? Even if one person accidentally defaces this beautiful scroll, ten people will immediately come to clean and maintain it... Man, that's it, in heaven After living for a long time, you will no longer be able to adapt to the life in the pigsty in the past..."
Andreev felt like his heart was shaking, thinking about the muddy and dirty towns in Tsarist Russia, where human and animal feces mixed with soil were piled on the streets, and carriages had to move along deep ruts.
Sunny days are a little better. Once it rains or snows, the mud will submerge the entire riding boots. There are some neat stone roads in the entire empire, including Moscow and other big cities, but compared with here, they are still heaven and earth.
Who doesn't say good things about his hometown, and Andreev does the same, but facts speak louder than words, and he cannot question everything before him. From this moment on, he is full of curiosity about everything about the Chinese people, and about the legendary figure Xiao Letian. It adds a bit of mystery.
Of course he didn't know that everything he saw and felt was part of Xiao Letian's national soft power display plan. He only knew that this city was as wealthy as London and Paris. Although it was much smaller, it was civilized. The degree is definitely the highest.
Andreev was reluctant to admit all this, but he had to admit that he was impressed by this magical country that defeated him.
