My name is Valentina, and I come from the icy and snowy country in the north. My aunt married in the country of Luo. I also yearn for the mysterious ancient Chinese culture. The country of Luo has the best university in the world, and my grades are very good. , so he was able to study abroad in Luo State.
01
After I came to Luo Country, my aunt came to pick me up. I saw my uncle again. Although he was already middle-aged, he was very handsome, completely different from the men in my home country who liked to drink.
My uncle once traveled around the world and fell in love with my aunt at first sight in his homeland. The most enthusiastic flowers will bloom in the ice and snow. The children of the Snow Country are naturally enthusiastic. My aunt is very beautiful. Living in the Luo Country is not like the high-sugar and high-calorie diet of the Snow Country. There are signs of gaining weight, but she is still the flower of the north.
"Cousin, welcome to Luo Country."
My cousin smiled warmly at me. He was wearing the modified sleeves that I liked very much. Half of my curiosity and yearning for Luo Country was influenced by my cousin.
He seemed to have seen something. He came over, took off the red decoration from my collar, and said softly: "Cousin, today is the solemn day of the Luo Kingdom. The law stipulates that you cannot wear red."
Luo Kingdom Solemnity Day, I have heard that this festival is a memorial day set up to commemorate those ancestors who sacrificed their lives for the country. In Luo Kingdom, there are many such invisible rules, so I have to be more careful.
Because of the abundant resources per capita, most people in Luo country live a relatively comfortable life. Except for large-scale shopping malls, there are few high-rise buildings. Even residential buildings are mostly low-rise buildings with a total height of six floors.
The economic conditions of my uncle's family are even better. In the city, they have a courtyard of their own, a small building full of ancient Chinese flavor.
My cousin lifted my luggage into the attic on the second floor. My aunt had already arranged it very neatly and said with a smile: "In ancient China, unmarried daughters were called unmarried daughters. This is the attic. Now it's for you to live in. Just right."
My cousin may not have seen it, but my eyes were sparkling. This is another thing I like about Luo Country. The powerful historical heritage makes their language sound poetic.
I come from the Snow Country, which is not an art desert. Whether it is sculpture, painting, writing, poetry, or even science, the people of the Snow Country have talents that amaze the world.
But that kind of talent comes from being born in a harsh and cold place, the worship of life, and the lamentation of death. Looking through that background, all the art in the Snow Country is based on death.
I like the high-spirited hope in Luo culture. There is light hidden in the hearts of Luo people. My aunt said that light is the Suwang Emperor.
02
The opening day of Qingsheng University has arrived. This is one of the top universities in Luoyang. It is said that its predecessor was Taixue in the Eastern Han Dynasty and has a long history.
I was originally going to apply to Luoyang University, which is the university where my cousin is studying, but in the end I missed it due to an accident. Looking at the dancing dragons and phoenixes in front of me, the word Qing Sheng outlined with a stylus, and the quaint campus that looked like a garden, I started to fantasize. What a wonderful four years I will spend here.
Qingsheng University’s Jijiu is not from an academic school. He is a pure mathematician. This was reflected in the opening ceremony. I still remember his most passionate words, “Qingsheng University has the best reputation in Luoyang.” The vast and comprehensive storage room contains countless wisdoms. As students of Qingsheng, this should be your holy place."
What kind of scene will a university under his leadership be like if he is a sacrificial wine for students to study more?
There are very few bureaucratic habits here. Of course, there are relatively few such habits in the entire Luo Kingdom. My cousin once told me as a joke that there is a big difference between officials and civilians in the Luo Kingdom. Once you become an official, even if you As an official at the lowest level, he will be bound by the overriding official law. If a common person commits a crime, evidence from the Three Law Departments will be needed to catch him, but if an official makes a mistake, he only needs a list leaked from the royal family.
I don't understand how exaggerated this official law is, but from what I can see, the ubiquitous atmosphere of Bing Kingdom has never been seen here. I like this feeling.
For international students in Iceland, there are colleges specifically recruiting international students and majors specifically for international students, but there are none in Luo. I am studying here just like an ordinary Luo person.
The only difference is that I am more famous because I am really good-looking, and the pursuit and love of beauty transcends ethnicity and nationality.
I gained some fame on the school forum, and the college students gave me a nickname. It was a very familiar title - Flower of the Snow Country.
Some people also call me - Princess of Snow Country.
03
Naturally, my cousin knew about my reputation among Qingsheng and Luoyang City college students. He was quite proud and said: "You are worthy of being my cousin."
My understanding of men in Luo country comes from my uncle and cousin. They expressed their feelings passionately and sincerely. My aunt once said that it was on that snowy night that she fell in love with her uncle. His uncle was like a flame in the snow, burning her heart. , so she fell.
But what I saw was an extremely restrained man from the Luo Kingdom. My cousin knew what I was thinking and chuckled softly: "Choose one person to live forever. This is an ancient creed of the Luo Kingdom. We are passionate in our hearts, but we do not want to be impulsively." Doing things you regret is the principle of restraint.
In the laws of the Luo Kingdom, being dishonest and reckless is an extremely serious moral accusation that can almost destroy a person's life.
If a partner is in crisis due to relationship problems, the most serious cases may even lead to criminal charges.
In Luo State, moral issues are never moral issues, but legal issues. "
I was greatly shocked, because in the education I received, the law is the bottom line of morality. As long as the law is not trampled, morality should only be criticized, not dealt with by the law.
I like to ask questions, so I asked my cousin again. My cousin studied law. Faced with my question, my cousin answered me like this, "This comes from your culture. In Luo country, Since ancient times, morality and law have existed side by side.
When we abide by the law and allow our morality to fall again and again, we do not know that as social morality collapses, the moral bottom line will continue to decrease. So, will the law, which is the moral bottom line, continue to relax as the moral bottom line decreases?
When betrayal becomes the norm, the crime of adultery will be abolished. When cheating becomes the norm, marriage will disappear. Those who seek the upper will get the lower, and those who seek the lower will get the lower. This is something we must never allow.
The purpose of law is to move society as a whole upward.
In ancient times, there was a saying that in troubled times, heavy codes should be used. But in modern times, a new theory put forward by the legal community is that in prosperous times, heavy codes should be used!
As the economy continues to improve, laws should become stricter and stricter, and the requirements for people's quality should become higher and higher. The bottom line of the law is constantly rising, which will force people's morality to continue to improve. "
I was shocked by my cousin's theory, or Luo Kingdom's theory. I thought it was very reasonable. My cousin seemed to see my thoughts and said lightly: "This theory can only be used in Luo Kingdom." , to support this theory requires an extremely low rate of unjust, false and wrongful convictions and a highly developed social economy, currently only Luo Country can achieve this."
I was silent. Yes, the rate of unjust, false and wrongful convictions is extremely low. This alone has almost eliminated all countries in the world.
04
I have been studying in Luoguo for a year, and I have had almost no discomfort during this year. It is as if I was born here. My aunt always dresses me up like a real princess. The look in her eyes seems to be What am I missing? I guess it’s missing her glorious years.
In this year, I came of age. I came of age in the Luo Country. According to the laws of the Snow Country, you can get married at the age of sixteen, but in the Luo Country you have to be eighteen. On this day, I can finally apply in my own name. Customs clearance documents. The guardian column on the previous customs clearance documents has disappeared.
Before I could ask if I could invite friends, my aunt had already prepared everything for me for the coming-of-age ceremony. What I lacked in the snow country was made up for by my aunt here. I love her.
My cousin made a complicated crown for me. He said that it was the crown of the princess of the Luo Kingdom. In ancient times, it could not be worn, but the Luo family did not care about these things. Folks can wear it at will. I love it.
After I turned eighteen, my cousin smiled and said to me: "Now I can take you to various occasions. I want everyone to know that I have a sister who is like a fairy descending from heaven."
I knew that there were many restrictions before I turned eighteen. My cousin soon began to take me to various gatherings. I could vaguely feel that he hoped that I could stay in Luo Country in the future. He once half-joked and half- He said formally: "You should live on this land, and the ice lotus in the Snow Kingdom will bloom forever."
This is a good thing for me, but Luo country is not a country of immigrants, and it is not particularly enthusiastic about talents from all over the world. It is not easy for me to stay here, unless through marriage.
But as my cousin said, the reason why I am suitable to stay here is because I have the thinking of a Luo country person, and I have extremely high expectations for such an illusory and ethereal thing as love.
Until, I met a man.
05
His name is Luo Chengye.
When I heard this surname, I looked at him with curious eyes. For a foreigner, this is a very normal behavior. For example, if a Snow Countryer with the surname Romanov appears in front of you, you will also You will definitely be curious whether he is the last royal family of Snow Country.
But I'm just a little curious. It's not that I know nothing about Luo Country. I know that the surname Luo has been scattered among the people. This surname is still a symbol of nobility, but not everyone is noble.
The person in front of me, I know that his status in the Luo family is not low. This is what my cousin told me. Among the friends around him, this is the best one. The most important thing is that he is influenced by the Luo family. There must be no problem with discipline and character.
Everyone in the Luo Kingdom hopes to marry the Luo family, because the Luo family has a good family tradition and strict family rules, especially the women of the Luo family, who are good matches.
Luo Chengye naturally has a good personality. He and my cousin are classmates. In the few months I got to know him, I gradually learned about his family situation.
The ancestor of Luo Chengye's lineage was a prince two hundred years ago, and he lost the inherited stigma a long time ago, that mysterious thing that is said to be inherited.
In Grandpa Luo Chengye's generation, he gained the favor of a princess and was able to revive the Stigmata.
This identity shocked me a little. It was much higher than I expected. He was willing to contact me because he liked me, but what was there to like about me?
Is it beauty?
Although I have always been proud of my beauty, there are really countless beautiful women in the Luo family.
There is a saying in the world that Luo's genes are the most perfect in the world.
Although Luo Family has always advocated that everyone is equal, the various characteristics shown, especially the fact that there are no ugly people in the royal family and close clans, all are men and women with top looks, this is hugely different from the propaganda, which makes people believe even more at this point.
Luo Chengye and I are not a good match.
Luo Chengye knew what I was thinking. He gently lifted my long platinum hair and said with a soft smile: "Valena, you already look like a Luo country person, but if you are a real Luo country person, you will I won’t ask this question, but it doesn’t matter, I will teach you slowly in the future.”
These words made me even more confused, but I didn't ask.
06
I asked this question over family dinner.
My aunt smiled and stroked my long hair and explained my confusion: "Valena, in your opinion, marriage is a good match. In what way is it a good match?"
I tried to use the traditional thinking of the Snow Country to explain my thoughts, those marriages between nobles, and the happy or unhappy marriages I saw when I lived in the Snow Country.
My aunt listened to me quietly, and when I finished speaking, she said softly and gently: "The huge gap in assets will create barriers, just like the ancient Western fable, the emperor's golden hoe.
Differences in knowledge can create barriers, just like a scholar cannot communicate with an alcoholic.
My dear Valena, does your wisdom and insight make you shrink from anyone? "
I shook my head, of course not. I might have some misunderstandings due to my lack of experience, but I would never shrink back. I have enough talent, and seeing something like this is the easiest thing to make up for.
The aunt smiled and asked: "In that case, you are equal to him in personality, why do you have such doubts?
Is it because of the huge gap in assets?
In a country like Luo State with abundant per capita resources, the pressure of survival is almost non-existent, and assets can bring nothing more than a better life.
The top family in the Luo Kingdom never cared about this. In the Luo Kingdom, showing off on the material level is a thing of the past.
Those grand theaters and activities that only nobles in other countries can participate in are everywhere in Luo Kingdom. "
I suddenly realized this and recalled the magnificent theaters I saw in Luoyang City, where I once enjoyed traditional Luo folk arts with my friends.
You only need to make a reservation, and you don’t even need to buy a ticket. The performers for us are the highest-level artists in Luo Country.
After hearing what my aunt said, I found that my expression of surprise was gradually diminishing. Living in Luo Kingdom seemed to be a matter of course.
It turns out that these things are influencing me subtly like bit by bit.
I finally understand why the news in Luo Country always reports on the deeds of other countries. Everything in this world is afraid of comparison. When you see the dire straits of other countries, you will feel more and more about today's happy life.
07
Luo Chengye noticed my change. I changed from the old Luo country clothes and put on the traditional clothes of the Snow country. I am 1.75 meters tall, with long, straight and white legs. He smiled and praised me and said: "The flowers of the snow country are about to bloom in the land of the south. On that day, the fragrance will be as fragrant as the scorching sun."
I liked his compliments, as if he was writing a poem to me, and I kissed him in return. I understood that my aunt would probably be my future, and I would stay here to accompany the once restrained man in front of me.
When I was a junior in college that year, I followed him back home. I met Luo Chengye’s grandfather, the one who rekindled the stigmata.
I once saw a person with the stigmata, at Luoyang University, where a real princess was studying.
Stigma is the most magical thing in the world. The royal family said that it is a type of genetic birthmark, but no one who has seen it with their own eyes believes it.
There is no birthmark in this world that can be passed down so regularly.
The most important thing is that every Luo country person said that when he saw the holy mark, he would have a feeling in the dark, telling him that the holy mark was real, that it was a kind of magic that completely exceeded what science can explain. s things.
I used to think that this was a group psychological phenomenon, because I didn't feel that way. The stigmata was indeed extremely beautiful, and it was simply the most outstanding work of the Creator, but nothing more.
But now I realize that I was wrong. Maybe I came here, maybe I am already a Luo country person. When I saw the stigmata, it seemed that the will in the dark was telling me that this was the real thing. Stigma.
It turned out to be this feeling, and I felt more and more in awe.
The banquet at Luo Chengye's home was very happy. As my aunt said, Luo had no objection to me, a foreigner. This is a country where everyone is truly equal.
When I told my parents about this, they were silent for a moment, and then congratulated me. In fact, they had been mentally prepared since I came to Luo Country. I am so beautiful, and there must be someone from Luo Country. Boys pursue her, and there is no doubt about Luo Guo’s attractiveness.
08
I never thought that I would get married before my college studies were over, but things in this world are about letting nature take its course.
My marriage was never concealed, and none of my friends were surprised that I actually stayed in Luo Country. I have this condition, and if I don't stay in Luo Country, there is something wrong with my brain.
This is not just a feeling for the motherland, but people always yearn to live in a peaceful environment.
My life has changed a lot since Luo Chengye and I got married. I first joined an alumni association of Qingsheng University. I thought Luo Chengye would let me join the campus association of Luoyang University.
I know that in Western countries, there is this kind of alumni culture between schools. In Snow Country, graduates from the same school can get more help, and the school even joins forces with top families to form a solid foundation.
When Luo Chengye heard what I said, he smiled and said: "That kind of circle culture naturally exists, but it is not as exaggerated as abroad. In the land of Luo Country, no circles can be unscrupulous. Trying to rely only on circles to achieve success." It is simply a dream to realize the solidification of classes.”
In Luo State, admission to these top universities depends on examinations. There is no other way. In this regard, it is quite similar to the ancient imperial examination system. If you are good, you will be good, and if you are not good, you will not be good.
The royal family of the Luo Kingdom emphasizes educational fairness and constantly adjusts educational resources in various places to make them as fair as possible.
However, a major event occurred in the Song Dynasty that shocked the government and the public, and the Song Dynasty was forced to reform the imperial examination system for the Luo family.
The impact of this event continues even into modern times.
When Luo Chengye went to Luoyang University, he did not take the academic route, or in other words, he did not take the same exam as ordinary people. It can only be said that he went to Luoyang University and put in more effort than my cousin.
After joining the alumni association of Qingsheng University, Luo Chengye began to arrange for me to take over some work related to art exhibitions and the like.
One of the great advantages of the Luo Kingdom is that they never rest on their laurels. They always hold on to the idea that stones from other countries can attack jade, and they always hold on to the idea that other countries must have something worth learning from the Luo Kingdom.
Because Luo Guo believes that with such a large population in foreign countries, there will always be geniuses. One genius can have a much greater impact on the world than 100 million ordinary people.
The promotion of this kind of thinking into real life is the study of foreign countries. From a thousand years ago to the present, we have learned countless things.
The art of the Snow Kingdom is the kind of grandeur in silence, the kind of death in the vastness. Many people in the Luo Kingdom like this kind of death elegies, especially the Luo family. In the history of the Luo family, they have encountered stories about death more than once. They really love this kind of art.
This is exactly what I am good at, so Luo Chengye asked me to try to combine the art of the Snow Country with the art of the Luo Country. If successful, it can be compiled into various dramas, etc., so that the people of the Luo Country can gain more spiritual energy. baptism.
When he asked me to do this, he smiled and said to me: "The artistic cells of a country and a nation are not created in one day. The people of Luo State's liking for art does not appear suddenly. Talents are cultivated day after day." There are such results at the national level. If you can push the art of Luo State forward a little bit, you will appear in the history of art.
Luo State attaches great importance to the prosperity of the spiritual world, and we should work hard for this.
Dear Valena, you know, what we Luo people like most is to record history books. If you can be included in the history books, it will be your husband and my greatest honor. "
I know that as a close branch of the Luo family, it will be very difficult for him to enter the history books, so he is looking forward to me.
09
Luo Guo's pursuit of art is far deeper than I imagined. Whenever I learn more about Luo Guo, I will find that what I have seen is just the tip of the iceberg.
The traditional culture of the Luo Kingdom has been passed down since three thousand years ago. The Luo family, a family that has not been cut off for three thousand years, has preserved the essence of the entire nation and continues it with one continuous line.
But it would naturally be wrong to say that the culture of the Luo Kingdom today is the same as it was three thousand years ago.
In the past, the Luo State only had a small piece of land beside the Yellow River, but now the Luo State has a land area of 30 million square kilometers, with provinces and autonomous territories of the Luo State in almost every corner of the world.
The sun will always shine on one piece of land in Luo Kingdom. This is the true sun that never sets.
Luo Guo has seen many countries, even those relatively backward countries and tribes, Luo Guo is also very interested in studying them. The art history of Luo Guo that appeared in my hands has a thick stack of catalogs.
I know this is not an easy job, but I never thought it would be so difficult. The difficulty makes me more and more excited.
In the preface to the history of art, that famous saying resounding to all mankind inspired me, and I devoted myself to it day and night.
It wasn’t until I got pregnant that I finally took a break from what I was doing.
Getting married, getting pregnant, and giving birth to a beautiful little princess is what the whole family hopes for.
Her eyebrows are very similar to mine, with a strong snow country style, her blue eyes are as clear as the sky, but her skin is as delicate as snow.
She is really a beautiful girl like an elf.
Her name is Loring, I like this name.
After giving birth, I quickly immersed myself in the study of art, drawing inspiration from my own daughter.
Luo Chengye is a person who is very good at praising others. He can always encourage me when I feel slightly depressed.
I still often go back to my aunt's house and have long conversations with her. She is really an outstanding person. She knows my current life and asks me with a smile how I feel about coming to Luo Country.
I said that it was fortunate that my aunt came to Luo Country, and I realized that there really is such a place in the world. It is better than what is described in books, and it is better than the future promised by politicians.
My aunt knew what I was doing now, and she encouraged me and said, "What is happening in Luo Country is the result of everyone's hard work. Now you are at the stage of contributing to this country. Don't let this opportunity go."
I nodded heavily, knowing that what I did was not only for Luo Country, but also for everyone in the world. Every light in Luo Country shines not only on Luo Country itself, but on all people. The country and the land and the people who live on it.
When a country that is far superior to its own country in every aspect really exists, other countries will have to change for the better.
In the West, those regimes that attempted to collapse were driven out of power by angry people. Only those governments that are motivated by reform and progress can come to power.
Who can deny the role played by the Luo Kingdom in this?
Why can Luo State do it, Luo State can do it, but we can’t?
People will not listen to the sophistry of politicians. They vote with their own feet. No matter what the reason is, the whole world is working hard to change for the better.
10
The most precious thing in a person's life is life, and the breadth of life lies in the cause of struggle. When I look back on the past in this life, I can proudly say that I am fighting for the spiritual world of everyone. I have received many praises, and I am happy for it. .
