Take shelter from the rain at Beijing Grand View Garden Hotel

With the arrival of the summer solstice, the rainy season in the north is also coming. More than ten years ago, the scene where my wife and I took shelter from the rain at the Grand View Garden Hotel in Beijing came to mind again.

It was an autumn in 2005, and my wife and I were living in Tiantongyuan Community, Beijing. Leaving the hometown that I am familiar with, I have nowhere to talk about some of the troubles in my life, and I am in a bad mood. My cousin, who lives with us, sees that I am often depressed and tries to cheer me up from time to time. One day, their work unit was going to the Grand View Garden Hotel for a meeting. With the accommodation permit there, they could visit the Grand View Garden for free. With this convenient condition, he invited us to go to the Grand View Garden to relax.

It’s hard to deny hospitality, so go for it! It was cloudy when we arrived and we were afraid of rain, so we brought umbrellas. It started to rain on the bus, and when we got off the bus, it started to rain even harder.

When we arrived at the entrance of the Grand View Garden Hotel, we looked at our watches and saw that my cousin was still in a meeting, so we stood under the porch waiting for him. I took a look at the lobby of this star-rated hotel. It was magnificent and there were many foreigners sitting there.

The two of us had just stood there for a few minutes when the rainwater on our umbrellas and shoes made the porch floor wet.

I don’t know when the wind started blowing, and the autumn wind blew into the porch with the autumn rain. We were huddled in thin clothes, very embarrassed! My heart was churning: On such a rainy day, it’s a shame to go through most of Beijing to take advantage of this! Such horrible weather has caught up with Daiyu's mood of burning manuscripts...

While I was thinking wildly, a capable middle-aged man walked out of the hotel. He saw us and politely asked where we were standing. What are you doing? Do you need any help? We said we were looking for relatives who were having a meeting at their hotel. He asked us to wait in the lobby. We looked at our wet shoes and wet umbrellas, looked at each other, thanked him for his kindness, and shook our heads together. The middle-aged man smiled and turned around, quickly took out two pairs of plastic umbrella covers and shoe covers, and asked us to put them on respectively. Then he led us to the lobby, arranged for us to sit down, and poured two cups of hot water from disposable water cups. After receiving it in our hands, he said: "Everyone who comes to the hotel to stay or find someone is our guest. How can we let the guests stand on the porch and be bullied by the wind and rain!" His words were like a ray of sunshine shining on our faces. heart. As we were talking, my cousin came downstairs to find us carrying a food bag of purple plums.

After the rain stopped, we ate sweet plums while walking in the Grand View Garden. The Grand View Garden was as picturesque as it was clear after the rain. The green bamboos in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion were particularly energetic. Inside the screen window, it seemed like a legend. Come to Baodai’s laughter...

After many years, every time I think of the scene when we went to the Grand View Garden in Beijing and got caught in the rain, and were asked by the middle-aged hotel manager of the Grand View Garden Hotel to take shelter in the lobby to take shelter from the rain. Feel the warmth in my heart.

In the journey of life, no one will just walk on a sunny day with blue sky and white clouds. We will encounter wind and rain and walk through mud. When we are attacked by wind and rain from society, those who are like Beijing Grand View Garden We will never forget the noble person in the hotel who provided us with warmth in difficult times!
