Chen Xing did his homework and felt that he came early enough.
But when he got there, he realized that it was never too early to arrive. There were even people sleeping in bunks here just to be among the first in line to enter Penang Flag Square. This scene was unimaginable abroad.
As for that?
Chen Xing was full of doubts.
He checked the time, and it was not yet one o'clock in the morning. According to his schedule, yesterday had not even passed yet, and there were already seven or eight rows of people standing in front of him.
The team went around and around like snakes. If you stood closer together, you wouldn't be able to see the team at all.
It's a bit like going to a temple fair to watch a performance during the Spring Festival...but there are definitely more people here than then.
Chen Xing also quickly went to queue and checked the tickets he bought on the mini program.
I should have listened to Sister Tang. It would have been better if I had queued up yesterday.
Chen Xing felt a little regretful.
The temperature in Yanjing at night is about 20 degrees, which is relatively cool, but there are so many people there but it can't cool down. The tourists use anything they can to fan themselves to gently fan themselves. Everyone is extremely envious of some of them. girl wearing a small fan.
"Ah!! We're late, there are so many people!"
"Don't step on my feet?"
"Who's playing cards? One of the two is missing in Landlords!"
"Who brought the cards?"
"KouKou Happy Landlords, whoever wants to play, please add me as a friend!"
Young voice, excited tone.
It was already one o'clock in the morning, but everyone was chatting. As far as Chen Xing could see, no one in the queue had sleepy eyes. Everyone was waiting for the ticket check in three hours.
Yes, tickets are checked at four o'clock in the morning, which also means that thousands of people here have to wait in line for three hours without moving at all.
The guy who played Happy Landlords really organized the game for him. Not far in front of Chen Xing, three people were sitting with flyers under their buttocks. Some people simply sat down like this. Anyway, they would go back after watching the flag raising. Just change it.
behind Chen Look across the street.
"What are you looking at?"
Chen Xing was really curious. There was nothing on the other side of the road.
They were located at one of the ticket gates. After the ticket gates opened, they had to walk through an underground passage. The opposite side of the passage was Flag-raising Square. At present, no one can be seen there, and it is very solemn under the illumination of street lights.
He was startled when he heard an unknown person talking to him.
After confirming that he was asking himself, he said: "I heard that after checking in, we have to come out of the door over there and run. I was thinking that I seemed to be running very slowly, and I probably wouldn't be able to grab a good position."
Before Chen Xing could speak, his friend behind him burst out laughing and said, "Look at the people in front of us, are they in a good position? We just don't stand at the exit of the underground passage for a while."
"What if we run faster?" he said reluctantly.
There was a girl in front of Chen Xing, who was also very bored. She interrupted and said: "The people who check the tickets are put in in groups. Our position is probably about the seventh or eighth row? Anyway, you can't even think about the front row."
Hearing her say this, Chen Xing took a deep breath.
If I had known earlier, I should have come last night!
During the day, I helped out with the design drawings for the clothing, and at night I went home and played games for a while. When I regained consciousness, it was already almost early in the morning. After taking a shower, I went out and took a taxi. But who knew that at one o'clock in the morning, this place would be as lively as a war.
Who would have thought of this?
Chen Xing sighed. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. If he couldn't stand in the front row and take pictures, he would be using this camera for nothing. He might as well use the video recorded by the system, which might be more comfortable to watch.
But he quickly heard a few key words.
Chen Xing turned around and continued to look at these young people wearing masks several times. They looked really small. Some were similar to him, and some were only 17 or 18 years old. They were talking about competition or review. .
"Are you a professional team?"
Chen Xing already knew the answer when he asked.
Isn't it just a professional team?
Although he doesn't watch regular games, he still has to watch the World Championship. These people are obviously regulars at the LOL World Championship. Even the coach who has been silent in the back looks familiar to him, but he can't pronounce his name.
"Yes, you can recognize this too." One of them said curiously.
The coach snorted coldly and said in blunt Mandarin: "If you speak louder, not only this friend will recognize you. After a while, everyone in the queue may know that you are here. Be quiet and be obedient." of."
Chen Xing waited for the coach to finish teaching them, and then said: "Our national server is called Opera Genius Fiddlesticks, and I can meet you all the time."
"Damn it, you idiot!"
"Is it really you?"
Although Chen Xing has not played much games recently, he will play a few games whenever he has time to keep his score from falling, so he is familiar with some powerful players and professional players, at least by ID.
"It's me. What a coincidence. I meet you all when I come out to watch the flag raising. You should work hard in the competition."
"definitely!"
Chen Xing wouldn't be too lonely during these three hours anyway. If a few people who like games get together, they will have endless topics to talk about. Even if we don’t talk about the game League, Chen Xing is also playing other online games.
He now has great reaction speed and physical fitness. In the gaming circle, he can kill all kinds of people randomly.
Therefore, although playing games is a bit of a waste of time, Chen Xing enjoys it.
The coach was a little hungry and asked several times during the process.
"Are you really that good? Come to our club for a trial?"
"The straw man is your natural hero? Oh, no, you play top laner? That's great, we happen to be short of top laner."
"Our club is in Hangzhou. The scenery is good and the air is good. Come and see us sometime."
He values Chen Xing's appearance. In this atmosphere where fandom culture invades the professional league, this can make a lot of money. He was even more excited when he heard that several players also praised this man's strength.
But Chen Xing also kept refusing.
Just treat it as a hobby, and if you really go to play games, then other people's expectations will collapse.
After chatting for three hours, with Chen Xing’s abilities, there was no need to talk about the relationship. They added each other on WeChat to agree to play in a double row, and then watched the time gradually come to four o’clock.
Start checking tickets.
Chen Xing only heard cheers from the front, and someone raised their hands. Chen Xing picked up the camera and wanted to capture something casually.
Unfortunately, the location was not good and he couldn't even see what was going on in front of him.
But soon there was no need to look in front. There were many figures at the exit of the underground passage on the right. Several staff members were blocking the door hand in hand. After more and more people passed through the ticket check and became more and more dense, they finally Let go.
"oh!!!"
"Rush!!"
"Ah hahaha, don't run so fast!"
The excited voice passed through the empty and car-free highway, and the young body and excited tone were like some kind of hormones starting to secrete in the crowd. Everyone became restless, and Chen Xing's heart also felt hot.
I couldn't tell how many people were running over there, men and women. The wind was blowing under their feet, their hair was messed up, and their legs couldn't be seen at all.
The two leading men ran the fastest, gradually widening the gap with the rest of the group.
It seems that there is no suspense about who will be in the C position in today's flag-raising ceremony. Looking at this speed, when they arrive at the place, the people running behind them will be at least twenty meters away. They can choose any position.
Click.
Chen Xing's camera captured the scene of them running. The two people in front of the camera were the clearest, with their waving arms and steps clearly captured. However, the crowd following behind was a bit blurry, and the background was even blurry. All they could see was There were many people there.
The professional assistant lined up behind Chen Xing was very envious and let out a wow.
After taking the photo, Chen Xing also looked at the other side and said, "What a romantic run."
There were not a few people running all the way, but more and more. It was very difficult for the staff to grab their hands again and block the crowd behind them in the underground passage again, cutting off the escape route of these people.
Chen Xing felt that today was not in vain.
Why did he always want to watch the flag-raising? In fact, what he really wanted to see was not the form of flag-raising, but the emotional patriotic atmosphere under this form.
It can be said that everyone comes here for this atmosphere.
Even before Chen Xing checked in, he could already feel this emotion from the actions of those in front of him. The transmission of this emotion made his hands tremble with excitement, and he was extremely looking forward to the moment when the flag raising officially began.
After waiting for a long time, it was finally time for them to check in.
After passing the first door and the second security check, Chen Xing was stopped just as he was about to exit the underground passage.
"Unlucky!" the professional players also said.
The ticket checking speed behind was too fast, and there were more and more people here, so they couldn't stop them. The staff let go of their hands. At this time, even if Chen Xing wanted to walk slowly, he couldn't do it. The powerful force coming from behind him It was like there was a wall pushing him forward.
The skinny professional player who Chen Xing struck up a conversation with first said, "Let's run away! Chen Xing!"
Yes, you have to fight for a spot.
Although I don't know if there are any positions that are still up for grabs now, Chen Xing had originally heard someone say that in the past, he could stand wherever he could, but he still lost face by running around with young kids when he was several decades old.
But Chen Xing saw that the old man was also walking forward quickly, trying his best.
Chen Xing came out of his trance, nodded and said, "Yes, run!"
Then he quickly rushed forward with the camera in his right hand.
How can ordinary people outrun him?
If Chen Xing could be in the front row, it is estimated that the two young people running at the front would not be the two young people. He would definitely be in the C position.
The person who told Chen Xing to run stopped. He looked at Chen Xing and said the quintessence of Chinese culture.
"I wipe it?"
So fast!
Chen Xing ran more and more smoothly, and the people around him were also running. Regardless of their age, it had nothing to do with whether they could get a good position or not. Everyone just wanted to run, because walking calmly like that really didn't fit everyone's mood.
Nowadays, many people have lost trust in the government, listened to the stupid comments on the Internet, and have become disgusted with their own country.
But as long as you go out and travel more, you will find that foreign countries are far more outrageous than domestic ones.
France has been caught up in the demonstrations this year. From the beginning of the year to now, more than three-digit associations and trade unions have joined the demonstrations. In some neighborhoods, no one has swept the streets, and the entire road has been filled with garbage.
In some neighborhoods, fires are blazing at night, and the sound of bottles exploding can be heard far away.
Don’t think that the south bank of the Seine is safe. There was a parade in Paris at the end of 2018. The Champs Elysées was filled with smoke, and even the statue of Marianne, a symbol of France, had half of its face broken.
This is true for a relatively peaceful country like France, but what about other countries?
No matter how many people are stupid, bad, and have dark hearts, compared with such disasters in other countries, China has done well. After all, it is a superpower with a population of 1.6 billion, and some stubborn diseases are unavoidable.
There are generally two types of international students.
One is that once you go out, you will never come back. The other is that the more you see abroad, the more you cherish your own country.
Chen Xing saw the flag-raising platform and countless people holding their mobile phones high.
We've arrived.
Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, blowing away the fatigue of the journey, and found a position in the crowd where he could see the flag-raising platform in the square in front... As for the gate where the flag guard came out, those at the back really couldn't see it. Arrived.
Looking around, I saw that the group of professional players had already gone to nowhere.
If they had the same mood as him, they would probably have run away.
It was already getting bright, but the flag-raising ceremony had not yet begun. Chen Xing thought for a while whether he should show off his unique skills to squeeze into the first row. After all, with his physique, it would not be a problem to squeeze into the first row.
But when Chen Xing saw that there were many old men and women holding little red flags and looking forward to it, Chen Xing quickly gave up this idea.
If you want to stand at the front, you can queue up outside the ticket gate yesterday. You arrived late and want to be in the front. If you squeeze in, you might get slapped by the people here, so forget it.
However, the rows in the front are densely packed, and the fourth row is loosely formed from the rear.
Chen Xing found a place where the people in front were shorter, and finally he could see the square in front of him.
"Come out, come out!"
"So handsome!"
There was no music, no warning, and of course you couldn't hear the orderly footsteps of the honor guard in such a chaotic environment, but they did come out, neat, handsome, and a hundred times more energetic than the guards outside the French palace!
The honor guard walked around the flag-raising platform to the front and stopped facing the flag-raising platform.
Then, a familiar song sounded from nowhere.
The voices of tourists were completely suppressed.
When they saw the red flag being unfolded and fluttering in the wind, many people did not even know that they had shed tears.
In addition to happiness and sadness, people will also shed tears when they are excited to a certain extent.
"stand up……"
At first, there were only a few people singing, and then it turned into a full chorus in the middle. Today is October 1st. There were so many people at the scene that even if they were separated, it would still be crowded. Three normal conditions were opened. The ticket gate is not open.
At least more than 200,000 people sang the national anthem.
He really wanted to post this deafening sound on Twitter so that foreigners could listen to the dragon's roar.
