Before the Yuanmingyuan was burned, the photos were taken by foreigners and auctioned in Britain. Why do people in China always suffer?

Speaking of Yuanmingyuan, our first thought should be the fire that burned for three days and nights. We can be shocked by the burning Yuanmingyuan, and we can imagine how magnificent it was before it was destroyed. The project started in 1709 and was not completed until18th century. Many countries at that time were shocked by the charm of Yuanmingyuan. After so many years, many Chinese children want to see the original appearance of Yuanmingyuan with their own eyes, but after they have been to Yuanmingyuan, they can only stare blankly at a cool breeze.

An undamaged photo of Yuanmingyuan was auctioned before, but it was bought by foreigners, which is also a deep scar. So now we can only imagine its original appearance, its majesty and its majestic standing in Beijing from some articles. At an auction in Britain, several very special photos were put up for auction, which were about some buildings and landscapes. After this auction, the contents of these photos were soon known to some people in China, and such a news also attracted a lot of attention.

At the end of the matter, the contents of these photos were also introduced to the eyes of Chinese experts. Why does it attract so many people's attention? Because the expert's appraisal result of these photos is that the photos are what they looked like before the Yuanmingyuan was burned down. As can be seen from the photos, these photos are 1860 Yuanmingyuan. At that time, the photographer followed the British and French troops to China. After arriving in China, he saw the Yuanmingyuan in China. At that time, Yuanmingyuan was famous in the world, so he took some photos of Yuanmingyuan.

The appearance of Yuanmingyuan before it burned down was really shocking. It really hurts to look at these photos, and I feel particularly miserable. In the photo, China soldiers are standing on the castle, holding their defensive posts. There are also weapons that they can use. The photographer has preserved China soldiers and ancient buildings for us. In fact, we are still a little relieved, and it is this group of photos that makes us lucky to see the former Yuanmingyuan.

There are palaces, pavilions, busy downtown blocks and quiet rural scenery in the photos. In fact, looking at this group of photos, my heart is a little lost. At that time, many people were afraid to recall. At that time, our national strength was not strong enough, so we couldn't resist when Eight-Nation Alliance burned our Yuanmingyuan. This set of photos can also be said to satisfy the regrets of many of us.

But history has passed, and we can't always be immersed in pain and not move forward. Our country has been developing and growing, and now its GDP ranks second in the world. Although our country is now strong enough to restore the Yuanmingyuan, which we were proud of at that time, we did not do so. We can't forget history, we should remember it. If you can't live a better life, you just want to erase the humiliating history of the past. We should always remember the burning history of Yuanmingyuan.
