After suffering, Qingdao, why is it like an inexperienced teenager?

19 100 years ago, on the evening of May 3, when Xie, a young man from Peking University, bit his finger and tore his skirt in public and wrote the words "Give me back Qingdao" in blood, the name Qingdao was destined to be associated with the May 4th Movement, a great patriotic youth movement.

100 years later, Qingdao did not stumble with the burden of history, but kept riding the wind in May, braving the wind and waves-Qingdao is definitely the most "wave" and "juvenile" among China 66 1 cities.

1. Juvenile born

The "May 4th Square" in front of Qingdao Municipal Government is a "punch card holy place" for tourists to come to Qingdao. Although the vigorous May 4th Movement originated in Beijing, the fuse was lit because of Qingdao.

189 1 year, the late Qing government decided to set up coastal defense in Jiaoao area, and Qingdao was established.

Ironically, however, Qingdao, which has great commercial and military value, was also valued by western powers early in the morning and was regarded as a thing in the bag. German colonial experts believe: "If you want to occupy China, you must first occupy Shandong, and if you want to occupy Shandong, you must first occupy Qingdao."

Six years later, Germany occupied Qingdao without firing a shot on the grounds of "Juye Religious Plan". This kind of "fat" naturally attracts more than one person in Germany. Japan, which faces Qingdao across the sea, makes no secret of its covetousness.

19 14 In the summer, when the German army was blowing the sea breeze comfortably in Qingdao, a gunshot in the Balkans detonated the First World War. As one of the allies, Germany took care of itself. Japan took this opportunity to declare war on Germany and took over all the rights and interests of Germany in Qingdao and Shandong.

Japanese ambitions for China do not stop there. 19 15, on the premise of supporting Yuan Shikai as emperor, Japan put forward "Twenty-one Articles" aimed at destroying China, including the legalization of leased land in Qingdao Jiaozhou Bay and the legalization of rights and interests in Shandong.

After World War I, China was one of the victors, and the National Government went to Versailles to attend the post-war peace conference. The Shandong Provincial Assembly specially called the representative of China: "Please stick to the Qingdao issue and never give in!" "All Lu Min people, swear to everyone."

However, the result still disappointed Qingdao people. After several months of peace talks, China not only achieved nothing, but the host even ignored the wishes of the delegation and gave the lost land that China should have recovered to Japan in a clear way.

The failure of the Paris Peace Conference has changed the mood of Qingdao and even the whole Shandong people from disappointment to despair, and the resentment of "where is justice" is constantly steaming and fermenting.

Shandong people, who have always refused to admit defeat, directly pulled out banners and clearly demanded: "Fight for Qingdao outside, and punish for the national thief inside!" This appeal became one of the slogans of the May 4th Movement in the future.

Young people are always enthusiastic and sincere. Students from Peking University were the first to return Qingdao to me and responded to the people of Qingdao hundreds of kilometers away.

On May 4th, about 3,000 students from more than a dozen schools in Beijing took to the streets, and * * * shouted out the voice that was pressing on China people's hearts: "Foreigners compete for Qingdao! Punish the thief inside! " "Abolish Article 21!"

The May 4th storm blew a whirlwind on the ancient land of China. However, the road to Qingdao's return is still bumpy. Until three years later, Japan and China signed the Sino-Japanese Cold Case Settlement Treaty and the attached agreements, and on the day of 1922, 12, 10, Qingdao, which had been swaying in the waves for 24 years, finally stopped.

Since then, blood and fearlessness have become the character background of the new Qingdao. Standing on the May 4th Square, the "May Wind" is high-spirited and flamboyant, much like Qingdao's high-spirited attitude.

2. White stripes in waves

Qingdao, which grew up in the waves, was immersed in the magnificence of the ocean.

Qingdao, formerly known as Jiaoao, is located in the southeast of Shandong Peninsula, bordering the Yellow Sea in the east and south, criss-crossing headlands and bays, with deep and wide harbors, forming a natural seaport. "Guanzi" said: "Qi Huan will travel eastward and reach Langya in the south." It can be seen that Langya Port in Qingdao was already one of the important ports at that time as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

In Historical Records of Qin Shihuang's Biography, Qin Shihuang made five east tours and visited Langya three times. Xu Fu also set out from Langya Port and embarked on a journey of "seeking immortality in the sea". Qingdao, which is soaked in seawater, is born with a free and easy marine character. In the eyes of Qingdao people, the undulating sea level is the most interesting "playground".

In China, where marine culture is weak, Qingdao has become the "sailing capital" of China by virtue of its advantages as a good port and the sailing competition of the 2008 Olympic Games. Here, the sea level in the city center is the sailing arena, and Qingdao citizens have become accustomed to those sea catchers from all over the world.

World-class sailing events followed one after another: Clipper Round the World, the world's largest amateur round-the-world sailing event, the international extreme sailing series known as "Maritime F 1", and the Olympic-level World Cup sailing event ... In the modern interface between China and the world, Qingdao's maritime culture is the bravest leaf.

The sea breeze in Qingdao gave birth to a legend-"China's first sailor" Guo Chuan. In the 2008-2009 Volvo Ocean Race, which is known as "Mount Everest in the maritime world", Guo Chuan participated in the whole process, with a journey of 9 months and 37,000 nautical miles. He was also the first Asian to participate in and complete the world's top round-the-world yacht race.

20 12-20 13 After 37 sleepless days and nights, Guo Chuan became the first China person to sail around the world alone. ...

On this voyage, Guo Chuan set off from Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center Base with a 40-foot unpowered sailboat "Qingdao" and began his fantastic drifting on the sea. He crossed the real corner of death "Cape Horn" in the ocean world. So far, more than 500 ships have sunk there. In this uninterrupted solo round-the-world voyage, Guo Chuan crossed the equator twice and completed all the final voyages of 265,438+0,600 nautical miles, setting a new FIA world record.

In the spring of 20 16, he led an international team to sail a large trimaran for 24 days without power, uninterrupted and replenishment, and successfully crossed the northeast route of the Arctic Ocean at 29 1 hour. The award speech reads: Team Guo Chuan has created history with unimaginable energy and written a new chapter in the history of human navigation. ...

On June 20 16, Guo Chuan sailed from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, USA to Shanghai, China, and began a solo uninterrupted trans-Pacific voyage. However, six days later, after Beijing time1October 25th15th, Guo Chuan fell into the sea and lost contact with the onshore team. So far, a generation of legends bid farewell to their hometown by returning to the sea.

3. Literary youth

Facing the changing ocean, Qingdao has both courage and romance.

If you want to make a statistics of the birthplace of a star in the film and television circle, the name of Qingdao will definitely be mentioned repeatedly. This city with a strong smell of "sea snapper" is also very fashionable and literary.

Qingdao film and television actors include elegant and dignified Tang Guoqiang and Ni Ping, as well as "comedians" full of "grassroots" spirit like Bo Huang and Lin Yongjian. Even Z.TAO, who used to take the idol route of "flow", was classified as a "sand sculpture star" by netizens because of his "special" temperament.

In fact, Qingdao has always been very modern. One hundred years ago, when watching movies was still a "luxury hobby", Qingdao people summarized this behavior as "urban folklore".

Li Ming, a famous urban cultural scholar in Qingdao, summed up the relationship between Qingdao and movies: "In China, if you want to find a city of the same age as movies, Qingdao is a suitable object. Because Qingdao is the earliest receiver of film charm, it is also a witness to the early film history of the whole world in a sense. "

The film was introduced to Qingdao very early, but the real contact with "ordinary people" was after the May 4th Movement. After the return of Qingdao, the policy of "dividing China and foreign countries" formulated by the Germans was naturally cancelled, and the cinemas in the former foreigner-inhabited areas satisfied the curious eyes of Qingdao people. "Film Monthly" records: "Qingdao people seem to be addicted to watching movies, and they are fascinated."

When the wave of domestic movies was booming, Qingdao's "red tiles, green trees, blue sea and blue sky" was called "natural studio". Since 1930s and 1940s, a large number of film and television works have been filmed in Qingdao. 1935 The classic film "The Son of the Storm" was filmed in Qingdao, and the theme song "March" of the Volunteers was first sung in Qingdao.

According to the program center of CCTV Film Channel, nearly one third of the TV dramas produced in Chinese mainland were shot in Qingdao, such as Mobile Phone, Ambush, Storm at Sea, Golden Wedding, Qingdao Past ... In these TV dramas, there are urban landscapes and natural landscapes of Qingdao.

When the film began to win with creativity and technology, Qingdao was not far behind. In recent years, films such as Crazy Alien, The Great Wall and Pacific Rim 2 were born in Qingdao, the "Oriental Film Capital".

4. It's arrogant!

Qingdao has three specialties: Chihuo, Wenqing and Qingdao Aunt.

Aunt Qingdao condensed all the characters of Qingdao people. Enthusiastic, open, straightforward, clear and confident, but also with a little publicity and exaggeration of "arrogance."

Needless to say, eating goods and Wen Qing, but the confident Qingdao aunt is absolutely impressive. If you don't have a warm Qingdao aunt to chat with, your trip to Qingdao will be much worse.

In Jianghu legends, in Qingdao's survival guide, Aunt Qingdao sits firmly at the top of the pyramid. If you "puma" again, you should be obedient in front of Aunt Qingdao. After all, Aunt Qingdao can "go against the sky and change her life" and "enter" the international fashion circle and lead the fashion trend with a face Gini that is regarded as "weird" and "amazing".

Aunt Qingdao's propaganda is very cute. Just like young Qingdao, with a little "wait for a while", there is a feeling of self-confidence and pride.

Qingdao people firmly believe: "We are the best in Qingdao!" Therefore, in the ranking of national happiness index, Qingdao always tops the list.

In the cold winter, sit on a pony and drink a bowl of wild wonton; Or in the midsummer night, facing the sea breeze, next to the barbecue grill in the food stall, watching shellfish and seafood slowly open their mouths under the scorching of charcoal fire, listening to the sizzling sound of squid and sea fish barbecue, and then pouring a cool beer, the aroma of malt slides all the way down the mouth to the stomach, and a solid burp makes a feeling: "Zier!"

"If you don't mind your own business, this is a good time on earth." In the eyes of Qingdao people, it's no big deal except eating clams, drinking beer and taking a sea bath. Fearless mentality is also the catalyst for Qingdao's happiness index to climb. After all, if you are fearless, you can go into battle lightly.
