Jinjiang Garden Hotel Nantong

Autumn in October, sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance. The bus broke through the fog and arrived in Nantong, a city in southern Jiangsu. I was lucky enough to drag my friend's coat to play. Due to the tight schedule, our party only has one afternoon to visit the Wolf Mountain and the Garden Expo Park, so I use the word "go" to express my regret. There are many places to see and play in Nantong. It is one of the four civilized cities in China, and it really deserves its reputation. Although I come and go in a hurry, I also appreciate its beauty, fragrance and civilization. My evaluation of this city is: wide roads, sparse buildings, few people, much greenery and strong fragrance. Compared with the county where I live, the sky is always smoky, the roads are always blocked by cars and pedestrians, the garbage thrown by the roadside and the crowded buildings and bungalows. Nantong gives people a comfortable, clean and relaxed feeling.

Wolf Mountain is one of the places that people who go to Nantong must visit. It is not too high, only104.94m above sea level, but it is one of the eight famous Buddhist mountains in China. It is one of the three saints in the west, reaching the Bodhisattva Dojo. It is the first mountain from the Yellow Sea to the Yangtze River. At the foot of the mountain, there are three characters of "the first mountain" inscribed by Mi Fei. After Wang Anshi swam across the Wolf Mountain, he also lamented that "he has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for half a day, and now he feels his eyes are wide open".

According to legend, there once lived a white wolf on this mountain. It is said that it was named after the shape of the wolf. However, its incense has flourished through the ages because of the "Guangjiao Zen Temple" on the mountain, where there are eighteen folk arhats with their own characteristics. Guangjiao Temple was founded in 669 AD with a history of 1345 years. Deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, dedicated to the Great Sage Bodhisattva, the only Bodhisattva in Southeast Asia wearing a dragon robe. It is said that he is the embodiment of Guanyin Bodhisattva. He is compassionate and responsive. Before taking pictures, he takes pictures from a distance to wish the foreign guests all the best. Therefore, Wolf Mountain is called the most effective mountain.

How many stone steps are there from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain? I tried to count at first, but I was soon disturbed by fatigue and sweat and forgot the numbers. I just feel short of breath and exhausted. Look at the tourists who are constantly surpassing the left and right, especially the elderly who are over 80 years old in the same car. They can still climb straight and can't help blushing for their cowardice. I just looked at the temple gate at the top of the mountain, but I couldn't see the color of the dragon robe of the Great Sage Bodhisattva. I just took some photos in front of the big bronze incense burner at the door to prove that someone had been here one day. It's the feeling of having a panoramic view of Nantong that makes me glad you came.

In addition to Guangjiao Temple, Guizhu Mountain Tower, Wisdom Phantom Tower, Zhiyun Tower, Famutang, and King Zhigeng's Tomb, behind the tall stone square, King Zhigeng's Tomb, which is also known as the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty by He, Yang Jiong and Lu, is hidden in the lush shade. As for whether there are real people in the tomb, only God knows.

It's interesting that the whole Wolf Mountain is green, but what I like better is the sunset beside the Garden Expo Park. Due to lack of time, I missed many scenic spots and ingenious bonsai in the Garden Expo Park. We took an electric tour bus all the way through the willow to the river. The Yangtze River is the widest here, with vast smoke and white waves, which is an excellent place to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Yangtze River. Clouds dyed red by the sunset are like brocade, and together with the sails on the river, they form a beautiful picture. On the riverside, I jumped excitedly, leaving a young figure at that moment. I hold the orange sunset in my hand and freeze it in the click of the shutter.

The climax of the trip to Nantong is at dusk. In the lobby of Jinjiang Garden Hotel, more than a dozen round tables are full of guests. This is the command company and comrades-in-arms meeting of the 6 17 regiment of an artillery unit. This company was established in the 1950s, participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and was soon ordered to go south to Zhejiang to defend the airport. Later, he was incorporated into the anti-aircraft artillery group in northern Jiangsu and moved to Dafeng, Binhai and Qingjiang in northern Jiangsu to carry out field missions for many years to combat aerial reconnaissance and harassment activities by the United States and Chiang Kai-shek. In the late 1960s, he was ordered to go to Vietnam to carry out the mission of aiding Vietnam and resisting the United States. After the triumph, we conducted combat readiness training, production construction, emergency rescue and disaster relief in Bengbu, Zhenjiang, Wuxi and Nanjing Tangshan. Although the nature of the command company as a support force determines that it can't be as famous as other combat companies in the world, it has been established and maintained as an active, United, active and superior combat collective due to the concerted efforts of all commanders and fighters in the past.

The participants' time span was from the late 1950s to the mid-1980s. The oldest is 82 years old and the youngest is 5 1 year old. They all worked, lived and fought side by side in this fighting group in different periods, endured extraordinary hardships and even risked their lives to accept severe tests. They have contributed precious youth to * * * and the country, and have also undergone tempering and edification, leaving the strongest impression on their lives.

Years of fighting side by side have forged an unforgettable brotherhood of life and death. After these soldiers who have made great contributions to the motherland took off their military uniforms and walked into the local area, they cared about each other, missed each other and longed to meet again. This emotion grows stronger with the time of separation, like old wine.

Finally, in this golden autumn season, they meet in Nantong, where the fragrance of Dangui is fragrant, and get together to review the precious history they spent together and relive the colorful and ups and downs of their brilliant lives.

Under the witness of subtitles,1more than 60 old comrades took a group photo as a souvenir, and members of the core group of the fraternity and representatives of various units of the command company spoke. Finally, the atmosphere was pushed to a climax at the reception.

I can't help but respect the gathering of old people with white hair and gray temples. I feel a heat flow in my heart for their staring eyes and deep hugs. Although they are old and maybe sick, there is still a fire in their hearts, and they still serve the country enthusiastically. They are the jiaozi and the strong of the times, the cornerstone of the country, and Optimus Prime who defends the airspace of the motherland.

As the host, Nantong comrades showed all the enthusiasm and provided the best hospitality conditions. There are many delicious dishes at the banquet, such as white and tender bass, delicious mussels, unique crab claws, long-lived skim meat, as the name implies, jade vegetables and delicious and light soup, which are the best diet for the elderly.

I can't remember who was sitting at which table. The old people left their seats with wine and raised their glasses to pay tribute to their familiar comrades. The younger generation sent blessings to the old chief, hoping to meet again in good health in the coming year. Some people even took to the high platform and presented a song for everyone. The high-pitched notes flow with passion in their hearts, causing warm applause and cheers. Look at that big brother with silver hair, a small poplar tree sings with flavor; Look at that seemingly rude strong man, but he stole someone else's solo; Look at the ex-military sister-in-law from Shuyang, and call the whole "Shooting Back" choir ... Although the singing skills are not so professional, it may be a bit out of tune, but the harmony between stages brought by the friendship conveyed by singing is like a red line, which connects more than 100 excited hearts in series. Another example is a music player, which brings the people in front of us back to that passionate era.

Good times always pass by in a hurry, and farewell is always disappointing, with reluctant hugs, repeated farewell sentences and affectionate retrospection.

Farewell, comrades-in-arms, brother!

I also said in my heart: farewell, a generation of heroes! Farewell, Guicheng Nantong!

Perhaps, I won't witness the next fraternity, but I sincerely wish the old brothers who have participated in this meeting a healthy life and a happy participation in the next grand meeting.
