Educational anxiety!

Recently, a popular educational documentary "Childhood in a Foreign Country" has deeply touched the anxiety of countless parents, including my son and my mother. As director Zhou Yijun said after filming:

"When we talk about childhood, the world is very old."

Living in the present, most parents feel extremely anxious about education. You see, everyone is practicing happiness education for the whole people, and we are still working hard on the road of pushing children for the whole family.

For school district housing, for sky-high tuition fees, for various tutoring courses, for not wanting to lose at the starting line, for shaping children's character, etc., our hearts are like wrapping that colorful flower belonging to childhood with reinforced concrete. We usually only see the straight and narrow path to "success" in front of us, thinking that it should be the standard path of life.

There are many excellent educational concepts in this world, so many that we don't know which one is the best. But I firmly believe that the ancient book "reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles" must be the most suitable one for us. In order to find the answer, we continued on the journey with Mount Tai, who was about to be 4 years old.

Father and son take pictures

As a "semi-skilled" photographer, my father is looking forward to one day taking photos of each other with his son. This trip is the opening ceremony of "Mount Tai" photography. When I first arrived, the shooting level made my face blush. The cute low camera shot my father's short legs into Club 183.

The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the waves in front beat them to death on the beach. Can I retire early?

New education in travel-go to nature to find answers

Children around the age of 4 are like "walking question marks", always asking questions. Perhaps your explanation has created a new question? I believe that most parents nowadays can explain patiently, but it would be unwise for us to directly provide our children with the correct answer every time-if we just open our mouths and ask, do we still need to use our brains?

So, Tai Shan's mother and I tried to leave the answers on the road and find reasonable explanations with the questions.

From Beijing to Tianjin, most people will choose high-speed rail travel because it is not very convenient to carry children with them, so I still choose the traditional driving.

No, it doesn't seem traditional, because I rented a GAC New Energy Aion S this time and experienced a green travel. This can be regarded as a new attempt for me. Times are developing, and if we don't keep up with the trend, it won't be long before "Mount Tai" will despise playing "100,000 Why?" with me? The game.

The growth of parents, like children, is an endless process. Only in this way can children be motivated to make progress continuously.

In fact, for most people, new energy vehicles are still a transition period that they are slowly accepting. At first glance, when I saw GAC New Energy Aion S, it broke some of my imprisoned thinking about domestic vehicles: high-value, high-tech, high-configuration, such a three-high player really moved me.

Before leaving the experience center,"Taishan" came with the question: "Dad, why is the license plate of our house blue and this car a green license plate?"

This didn't bother me: "Because our car is hungry for gas, this car is hungry for charging. You can go and observe on the road and see which cars are green."

"Charge! It's hungry, let's go charge it now!"

For my impatient son, his mother and I really have a lot of trouble. When we are hungry, we want to eat immediately. We want to ask for any needs. We have the skills of crying, making trouble and rolling at our fingertips, and we often lose. Finding a balance between flexible and tough education is also a nerve-racking thing for parents.

Before driving, I first became familiar with the basic operations of GAC New Energy Aion S. ECO, NORMAL, and SPORT represent three driving modes respectively. You can choose whether you want to save energy smoothly or push hard. The colors displayed by the instruments in the three modes are also different, which was discovered by the keen "Taishan".

"Dad, this looks like Brother Rob Ultraman!!"

"Why?"

"Because one moment it's red and the next it's blue."

"Then can we give him a name?"

"Call it Lightning Autobots! He is a good friend of Ultraman's."

Since then, Aion S, which has been with us for a few days, has a new name: "Lightning Autobots".

I don't know if this Autobot will save the earth in the future, but at this moment, I really admire the children's imagination. Can things that are not related to each other be related, or is Ultraman really toxic?

Finland, a Nordic country, is a small country with long, dark and cold winters. Therefore, Finnish children have the longest vacations and the least homework. Such a small Finnish country that seems to be losing at the starting line everywhere has cultivated middle school and high school students who "rank first in the world in overall performance." I only heard about it at first, but when I watched the Finnish chapter of the documentary "Childhood in a Foreign Country", I really understood part of its success.

One of them was particularly impressive. In a school without "fences", teachers asked students to study in the woods and get along with nature. To name a tree, you don't have to say the correct name; you know nature by looking for its colors, etc.

This not only deepens their relationship with nature and cultivates the moral character of loving and protecting nature, but also implicitly teaches them the ability to survive in the wild.

Before this trip, Tai Shan's mother and I were also reflecting on our educational dead ends. We took Tai Shan through many cities, visited many amusement parks, and visited many museums, but we rarely let him immerse himself in nature. This time, we also visited Shuimo Mountain and brought color cards to find the colors of nature.

No one loves nature more than children.

We ran on the golden fallen leaves, compared with the willows, looked at the small flowers in autumn that had not yet had time to hide in the soil, listened to the singing of birds in the trees, and saw if there would be small fish jumping out of the water...

After 5 kilometers of being close to nature,"Mount Tai" did not let us hug it at all, nor did it sound tired. We sat down on the roadside, pasted the fallen leaves in yellow, pasted the dead flowers that fell to the ground in purple, and pasted the wandering willow leaves on the green... collected "Nature" vibrant color cards.

"Mom and Dad, I haven't found the red and blue yet?" With her small mouth pouting,"Tai Shan" was a little unhappy.

In late autumn, it is really difficult to find these two colors. As we looked hard,"I found red, look!" Tai Shan shouted happily.

He stuck the Terra Ultraman in his hand on the red card with double-sided tape. Mother Tai Shan and I looked at each other. The color of nature, does an Otter warrior count?

I was particularly touched when I was looking for "blue". I had been obsessed with looking for it on the ground, but there was no result. I wanted to turn it out in a plastic bag.

"Mount Tai" looked up at the sky: "Dad, the sky is blue, but how to stick it up."

Suddenly he recalled the picture book "Dig a Hole and Take a Look" that he was telling him every night, so that he could stick the sky on it.

The result is not important. What is important is that the process of accompanying the child to find the answer together, and the heart becomes suddenly enlightened.

We cannot deprive children of their favorite nature! Although schools and various interest classes are the only way for every child, only in the vast world can children grow up freely. Tai Shan's mother and I also decided to take Tai Shan more to get closer to nature in the future and observe the changes of the four seasons and understand the world.

① [Beijing] Welcome to you

As the capital, Beijing has too many things to do and do."My door is often open and I wait for you in my open arms." Every time I go to Beijing, I always want to hum on this popular song "Beijing Welcomes You". In the eastern suburbs alone, there are two high-profile photo resorts, the China Railway Museum and the Song Art Museum.

Train Museum [Eastern Suburb Museum]

When I was a child, I watched the cartoon about trains "Iron Train Man", and I still remember it now. At that time, I always envied the Shinkansen high-speed railway in the cartoon, because the trains we took when we were children were all green. As the motherland takes off, high-speed rail has become a business card for going global. Therefore, for "Mount Tai", who has only taken high-speed rail, it is also very meaningful to take a look at China's railway development history.

From steam, to electricity, to high-speed rail, over the past 100 years of changes, Chinese trains have gone through three stages, and it is also a history of energy evolution from coal to electricity. This is like the GAC new energy Aion S we are driving this time. It is a transformation from oil to electricity and a sublimation of consciousness. New technologies change lives and can also change the environment.

Protecting the environment starts with me.

China Railway Museum dongjiao

The China Railway Museum in Beijing has three exhibition halls: Zhengyangmen Hall, Dongjiao Hall, and Zhan Tianyou Memorial Hall.

We chose to go to the Eastern Suburb Pavilion because it is the most suitable place to take photos. It would be a pity to miss the lazy sun in Beijing.

For a 20-yuan ticket, you can enter the museum. The exhibition hall houses more than 100 locomotives and rolling stock of different periods and types of Chinese railways, especially the earliest extant "0" steam locomotive in China and the "Mao Zedong" and "Zhu De" locomotives named after the revolutionary leader. They can be called "treasures" among Chinese railway cultural relics.

The wheels of the Zhu De car are higher than Mount Tai.

In the museum, there are carriages to visit, and there are separate charges, 10 yuan/person. I'm curious, why, there are also high-light moments inside.

Pulling "Mount Tai" into a moment, I realized that it was true! It turned out to be a red cultural and educational vehicle, with traces of national leaders riding in every room in it. Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou both forgot to eat and sleep on the train.

After visiting the exhibition hall, the warm golden sun wrapped around us vigorously, retaining us and preventing us from leaving voluntarily. "Dad, open the head of the Lightning Autobot. I want to bask in the sun." It seems that my son already likes the new title Aion S. The huge skylight slowly opened, and we greedily enjoyed it.

"Mount Tai" also held the spoils of war "captured" in nature high above the roof of the skylight and laughed: "Come and bask in the sun too!"

Thanks to the design concept of Aion S "Whale Space", the large space in the back row has also become a place for "Mount Tai" to have fun. It is not difficult to squat, lie down, or even do a handstand.

The sunset is infinitely beautiful, only near dusk. The sun sets on the mountain at a speed visible to the naked eye, and we are also moving forward in the blue night. "Play with the fallen leaves on the roadside for a while longer, Dad!" I was also attracted by the autumn night in Beijing and parked on the roadside.

The slender eyes of the "Lightning Autobots" twinkle, lighting up the night for us and injecting a touch of warmth.

[Song Art Museum] Chinese style blank space

Mr. Wu Guanzhong once said: "There are not many illiterates in China today, but there are many art illiteracy." Do our children have to be painters or artists? Of course not. Even so, we still place hope on our children that they can meet, discover, touch and have beauty in life.

This is my original intention to insist on taking my children to see art museums, because art is a very beautiful carrier that can change our lives from the inside out.

song Art Museum

The "Pine Art Museum" located near the Capital Airport is an "old house renovation" project that has transformed from a racecourse into an art gallery. With a building area of more than 2,000 square meters and a courtyard of 33 acres and 199 pine trees with their own characteristics, the Pine Art Museum is quiet and unique. There are no tight buildings in the big courtyard, but white buildings with simple geometric shapes. Looking up, there are blue sky and white clouds, and looking down, there are green grass and grass. What we are brushing against are well-arranged crooked pine trees.

In a trance, I broke into a Chinese painting. It has the highest realm of Chinese painting-blank space.

song Art Museum

When going to the Song Art Museum, to see an exhibition is one aspect, and on the other hand, to discover: the simpler and more concise it is, the more inclusive it is.

The current exhibition in the museum is called "Invisible in Color" and brings together selected works by 13 artists from different eras. Concepts, pop, calligraphy, and light are all inspirations for the creation in the exhibition, outlining the evolution of abstract painting over the past century from a subjective perspective.

song Art Museum

These abstract arts have the feeling of "Mount Tai" dancing on paper on weekdays. The dazzling color collocation and the unrestrained imagination are related. We slow down and discuss it with our children bravely, openly and respectfully.

We bring our children here not for awe, but for closeness. Our education already has too many standard answers and authoritative knowledge. Let viewing paintings become a game of the most basic senses and knowledge.

song Art Museum

There is a "small black room" in the museum that is very oppressive. White graphics are used in the exhibition to allow people's vision to accept the light again and step into the colorful world.

song Art Museum

"This cosmetics is much bigger than mom's? Why?" Tai Shan showed a particularly surprised expression.

"Maybe it's for giants." I babbled.

"Giant, is he a giant like Ultraman?"

I was speechless: "No, Ultraman can't be used because they don't show their faces."

At the other end of the art museum, there is a cafe with a window that looks like a picture scroll. When you are tired of watching the exhibition, you order a cup of bitter water to recover your blood, sit on the sofa, and you will have a small world of its own.

The Art Museum closes at 6 p.m.. Winter in Beijing gets dark very early, and the sun has reached the horizon at 5:30. The Pine Art Museum also lights up the first light band on this green space. The blue sky, the warmth of the foundation, and the contrast between cold and warm is itself a strong painting art.

After leaving the art museum, we drove the "Lightning Autobot" and sped on the road covered with gold leaves on both sides. Suddenly, I put on the brake and ran to the front of the car. There was blue and orange light above my head, and the car's eyes emitted warm stars. Isn't this also a beautiful picture of the contrast between warm and cold?

I am reminded of the classic saying by August Rodin: "The world is not short of beauty, but of a pair of eyes that discover beauty." Think about how much beauty you would miss in this world without aesthetics.

Various life in the vegetable market

I slept until I woke up naturally and prepared to leave for Tianjin. As soon as we arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, the big screen of the "Lightning Autobot" displayed the words "Insufficient Battery" and prompted that there was still 50 kilometers of mileage. Then it displayed an intelligent display of the type and number of surrounding charging piles, and provided dynamic navigation. Give efficient routes and relieve a lot of burden on my own mind, which is not very smart.

It feels like playing a Pokemon go capture game, with the charging pile being the elf waiting to be captured.

"Lightning Autobots" are technologically armed to the teeth. After finding the electric pile, I tried to play with the advanced fully automatic parking system and solved various complex parking problems faced by the "yellow driver"(novice) with one click. The steering wheel automatically dialed quickly, and a plate slipped into the parking space. In an instant, I felt like I was in a big American movie. This skill made Tai Shan so happy that he couldn't wait to try it.

I remember how bad it was to move to the warehouse when I used to test my driver's license. If you had this skill at that time, why would you take the test of moving warehouse and reversing the car? Even children can use it.

In the past, staff would do it for refueling, and charging was self-service. The curious baby "Taishan" couldn't wait to get the stun gun as soon as he got off the car, integrating the previous refueling method into a charging method.

Every subsequent charge,"Mount Tai" did it himself. The "Little Prince of Charging" was born because of this.

How long does it take for GAC New Energy's Aion S to be charged once, and how many kilometers can it run once? Before this, my understanding of new energy vehicles still stayed in the concept of running 200 kilometers in several hours.

When the car is connected to the charging gun, the mobile App will display the remaining charging time. It can be 380 kilometers in 40 minutes. It turns out that I can't keep up with the rapid development of technology. Nowadays, new energy vehicles are so capable! Taking advantage of this time, we might as well replenish our energy. Go to a nearby village, have lunch, and visit the local vegetable market.

The vegetable market, the place closest to the fireworks of the world, is also the most authentic face of the city. Whether you are a well-dressed white-collar worker or a housewife working hard for the family here, you will automatically lose your class attribute when you come here. You can appreciate the local customs and customs, or you can bargain with the stall owner like the locals. A tray of food, a ladle of drink, a melon and a vegetable all exude warmth to comfort you and me.

Because he and his grandma had grown some vegetables at home,"Taishan" had a good understanding of most of the vegetables and fruits in the vegetable market. Every time he passed by, he became famous one by one. Although he would mistake garlic for onions, or encounter some people he didn't know at all. If he asked me as his father, I was confused. Therefore, we humbly asked the boss for advice, which not only increased our knowledge, but also strengthened his interpersonal skills.

"Ding-dong!" There was a reminder from the mobile phone that the "Lightning Autobots" had eaten and drank enough (charging completed), and we continued to go to Tianjin. Without the roar of a gasoline engine when it ignites, the new energy vehicle starts very quietly, and it is almost impossible to feel that the car is ready to go.

When you get on the high speed, you can turn on the ADiGO autonomous driving system of the Lightning Autobots. This is the leading L2 autonomous driving technology at the same level. Perhaps this is a bit brain-burning to say. To put it bluntly, you can let yourself fly at high speed. The car will automatically brake, refuel, and turn at a limited speed. It frees your hands at the monotonous high speed and eliminates driving fatigue. It is the car I have always dreamed of owning. At this moment, I feel like I was in the future car in "I, Robot" starring Will Smith in 2004, and more than 10 years later, this became a reality.

"Taishan" looked surprised: "Dad, grandma said you must keep the steering wheel well when driving, otherwise it will be very dangerous. Why did you lose your hand?"

Go back and tell grandma: "Cars can now be driven by Lightning Autobots."

The skeptical Taishan didn't let go of his anxiety until he saw the steering wheel of the "Lightning Autobot" automatically twist around the corner. He leaned closer to my ear and said,"Dad, the Lightning Autobots can drive and can't tell others. This is our little secret."

Cute as you.

The road was speeding smoothly, and the car smelled of sleepiness. You need some music to cheer up."Lightning Autobots" are combined with voice control. You only need to tell it the song name with your mouth, and you can quickly search it and automatically play it.

"Flowers in my heart, I want to take you home

In that late-night bar, who cares if it's real or fake?

Please sway as much as you like and forget the man you like

You are the most charming, you know?"

"The Wild Wolf Disco", which has become popular all over the country, is really popular, and even sleepy people are chased away.

② [Tianjin] It's more than just big hemp flowers

"China has looked at Xi'an in five thousand years, China has seen Beijing in a thousand years, and China has seen Tianjin in a hundred years."

Putting history aside, I think the most down-to-earth feeling of going to Tianjin is "Talking to people here, I always feel like I'm listening to cross talk!"

This time we explored Tianjin's old city and new district in one go:

Look at the world's first Ferris wheel built on a bridge,

Look at the five major roads lined with red bricks and green tiles,

Sit on the soft and red Italian street and have a cup of coffee,

Break into the most beautiful library in Binhai and read through a favorite book,

At the National Oceanic Museum, you will explore it up and down,

It also left an indissoluble bond with the aircraft carrier.

During the two short days of alternating night and day,

Feel the city of Tianjin,

Every breath she takes, every movement she takes,

Tianjin like this.

Love it.

TEDA Aircraft Carrier Theme Park
The first lesson of national defense education [TEDA Aircraft Carrier Park]

Little boys are born with no resistance to aircraft, artillery, ships, and tanks. This may be due to a chemical reaction in some key DNA of men in the theory of evolution and a strong desire to use tools to explore the world. In order to better visit the aircraft carrier park, I specially bought a 3D picture book related to ships to lay a good foundation for seeing aircraft carriers.

"Captain, let's go out to sea!"

Tianjin Binhai New City is a large-scale parent-child park, which brings together Haichang Ocean World, Fangte Theme Park, and of course the TEDA Aircraft Carrier Theme Park that we are going to. We have visited Ocean World and theme parks many times with "Mount Tai", but this is the first time we have visited a military-related park. I hope to take this as an opportunity to bring our whole family a study of national defense education.

The Kiev in Tianjin is the only Soviet aircraft carrier on display in the world. Even Russia itself does not have it, so it is a little arrogant.

TEDA Aircraft Carrier Theme Park

Winter is the off-season for tourism in Tianjin, and there are few vehicles in the huge parking lot. At this moment,"Taishan" is still thinking about the fun of "Lightning Autobot" automatic parking. Where you can park in with your eyes closed, automatic parking? It made the Lightning Autobots a little embarrassed.

TEDA Aircraft Carrier Theme Park

The staff at the gate will give you a "tourist passport", and you can take an "entry photo" with people traveling with you at the "Immigration Department" at the gate. This is one of the characteristics of the aircraft carrier park and gives you a "tour experience of" entering Russia without going abroad."

TEDA Aircraft Carrier Theme Park

Entering the park, there is a small Red Square style building. On this Russian-style street, many foreign vendors gather, hawking Russian goods with their tongues curled up. "Taishan" was particularly interested in the pronunciation of Russian flicking tongue and drinking. He laughed and followed suit, making the bosses laugh.

TEDA Aircraft Carrier Theme Park

I finally arrived at the core attraction of the aircraft carrier park-the "Kiev". It has a total of four floors, which are deck 5A, deck 3A, and deck 2A. This name is a bit like the level of a domestic hospital. If you are careful, you will find out why there are no four armour? Is there also a superstition that is homophonic?

"Mount Tai" roared excitedly when he saw the giant ship as tall as a building. The book was very bony and the reality was full, giving him a good lesson about proportion.

TEDA Aircraft Carrier Theme Park

One of the highlights of the aircraft carrier visit was the missiles. Facing the ammunition depot full of warehouses, Taishan was particularly excited, because our family watched the entire military parade ceremony this year."Taishan" also remembered the country's most important weapon,"Dongfeng 51" and the ultra-high-speed missile "Dongfeng 17", which has been compared with the torpedoes, anti-ship, and air-to-air missiles in front of us.

"Dad, this is powerful. Dongfeng 17 is still the best."

"Dongfeng 17!"

"What about this?"

"It's still Dongfeng 17!"

Taishan, I want to tell you that 70 years ago, at the founding ceremony in 1949, when there were only 17 celebration planes, Premier Zhou left a sentence that has moved China for decades: If there are not enough planes, we will fly twice. Today, 70 years later, China is already intact, the country is rich and the people are strong, and our plane will no longer have to fly again. Moreover, we have also become a world-class power. In today's motherland, we should stand up and say loudly: "I love you! I am proud of you!"

TEDA Aircraft Carrier Theme Park

This is the first time I saw a round model of a warship. Do I want to have a 360-degree attack?

TEDA Aircraft Carrier Theme Park

Don't think that every day on the aircraft carrier is just facing the steel behemoth and "reflecting on its mistakes". Saunas, cinemas, small stages... are all non-wartime pastimes for navies, and they can enjoy them quite well.

After boarding the deck of the aircraft carrier, the vision immediately widened. It is completely different from the rusty enclosed smell of the several layers inside the ship cabin, the fresh sea breeze rippled flowers on our faces. Submarines and destroyers can be seen nearby, and in the distance is the vast Bohai Sea. On the deck are various ship-borne weapons. It should be noted that these aircraft, missiles, and artillery shells are all transported up from inside the ship cabin through complex transmission mechanisms. The children are running to their heart's content in the wind here.

After visiting the aircraft carrier, our hearts fell and fell. Of course, we like to look at aircraft, artillery, and missiles, which are rare in ordinary days. We think more deeply. Today, China's peace has been bought through hundreds of years of war. With the rapid development of the economy, while people enjoy rich material life, their awareness of national defense is also weakening.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace. This is an experience and lesson since ancient times. "Patriotic education" is not accomplished overnight. When we visit these weapons, it is also a self-growth and baptism.

National Maritime Museum

I think that I have seen a lot of "Mount Tai" in aquariums, large and small, but for the "National Oceanic Museum", which has free tickets, it just stops at a glimpse of the concept of a place for Internet celebrities to check in. I regretted being in it, because half a day was not enough to appreciate the charm of the National Oceanic Museum. It was simply a treasure place of immortals and a science palace worth staying in for a whole day.

Tip: Tickets are reserved by official number. Make sure to make reservations in advance, otherwise there may be no tickets on that day.

National Maritime Museum

Entering the hall, the ceiling in the space gives people a feeling of squeezing the abdominal wall, as if they have entered the belly of a large ancient creature.

National Maritime Museum

"Dad, what boat is this? Is it also an aircraft carrier?" Tai Shan still remembers the USS Kiev aircraft carrier he had just visited.

Visiting the National Oceanic Museum is a continuation of the Aircraft Carrier Park. Here, we learned that this huge wooden boat that was restored was a blessing ship during the Song and Yuan Dynasties: it was a large merchant ship that could enter the sea. It was powered by sails, controlled by rudder, and its cargo was hidden in the cabin, allowing it to traverse the world. In the prosperous Citong City during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, which is now Quanzhou, there were busy figures.

In terms of momentum and scale, there are several magnificent scenes like Zheng He's voyages to the Western Ocean.

The National Oceanic Museum is the first in China's history. Its status is comparable to that of the Palace Museum and can be called the "Forbidden City on the Sea." It is similar to the Maritime Museum where we traditionally visit, but it is more from west to east, outlining the cultural scene of Chinese civilization in which the yellow civilization on land and blue civilization on the sea have complemented each other for more than 2000 years... It may be difficult for the 4-year-old "Mount Tai" to say it is difficult to understand, but since the beginning of its design, the museum has considered the experience of the old, middle and young, and has also set up an interesting children's museum, becoming a place for indulgence and fun that "Mount Tai" has been reluctant to leave.

Walking out of the museum, there is a large hydrophilic viewing platform on the first floor. The glow of the sunset can highlight this magnificent structure. The sea breeze makes people think a lot. I walked for an hour, but the earth walked for 4.5 billion years. If you still remember the movie "Interstellar", then you must be familiar with a classic line: "The thing I am most afraid of is time."

Time can be expanded, folded, and embodied, but it cannot be reversed. Therefore, in my opinion, the true value of the museum is a "wormhole" in the vast sea of earth's history. When we come to the museum, it is like passing through a "wormhole", and we use the shortest time to interact with the earth's past 4.6 billion years. Every mirror in the past is connected instantly. The exhibits look at us like cranes gazing at childhood. At this moment, one breath we take may be worth the life of this species in the history of earth.

As the museum closed at 6 o'clock, we walked out of the museum and came to the water-friendly platform on one side. The huge mosaic lake surface perfectly alternates between reflections and reality, making it difficult to tell the boundaries. Even people who don't like photography will take off when they see such a beautiful scenery.

Children are always children, and adults feel that those inconspicuous things will become treasures in their hands. The pebbles beside the hydrophilic platform became raw materials for stacking and cutting 2D houses in the hands of "Tai Shan".

I think this is the most precious talent of children. They not only release their imagination from painting on pen and paper, but also find answers in nature.

In the first two days of coming to Tianjin,"Tai Shan" learned to draw sycamore trees in art classes. Most of the golden color in autumn in Chengdu comes from ginkgo and poplar trees. Mount Tai, which has never seen sycamore trees, has been clamoring to see sycamore trees. Wutong planted seeds in his little head, and we didn't have time to solve the answer for him.

Driving the "Lightning Autobots" slowly drove through the five major roads, a golden fallen leaf fell on the front windshield. It was actually a sycamore leaf! The sycamore trees on both sides of the Fifth Avenue Road were already golden, and their leaves began to fall. An autumn wind blew over, and countless dead leaves rustled gracefully, dancing like leaf rain in the sky.

Parking the car, we came to Min Yuan Square, the center of the Five Main Roads. The sycamore leaves all over the ground made "Mount Tai" overjoyed. The sycamore leaves in our paintings finally shone into reality.

"Mom, can I collect a sycamore leaf?"

"Sure, as long as it falls on the ground, it will do."

In the process of getting along with nature, children behave more or less destructive. They step into the green lawn, pick delicate flowers, and step on the little ants moving to death. In fact, most of the behaviors are caused by curiosity. As long as parents are more patient and tell them carefully, they will realize the equality of life and you will find that they are more loving than adults.

If you want to quickly browse the five major roads, the best way is to take a carriage in front of Minyuan Square. Outside Minyuan Square, you can hear Tianjin Mandarin shouting from afar: "Take a carriage, 80 yuan per person, children under 1 meter free."

When I bought the ticket, I murmured: "I have to charge before I am 4 years old." The conductor smiled and said,"That's good. It's a good thing that children are tall."

Not to mention whether I want to sell an extra ticket, this also touches my heart. I am not tall enough and always want to use a baby to make up for it.

The carriages drove slowly, and each carriage was equipped with a guide. Not far away, they said in a leisurely manner: "At the end of the 19th century, the artillery fire of British imperialism shook open the long-closed gate of the Qing government. After the smoke cleared, the unprecedented atmosphere of the times rushed into this ancient country that has been sleeping for thousands of years. As adventurers flocked in, the five major roads also experienced tremendous changes. The nine countries 'concessions are side by side, and the different architectural styles of all countries are concentrated in this palm-sized land. Therefore, the five major roads are also called the Wanguo Architecture Expo Garden."

Shuttling through the five major roads,"Mount Tai" is dazzled by the Western-style buildings in front of them, but it is also attracted by their strange buildings. It keeps asking: "Why is this red? Why is it a ceramic house? Why is this house steeple?" A barrage of questions bombarded me. While listening to the tour guide's explanation, I used my mobile phone to Baidu and translated for "Mount Tai". I was extremely busy. The dark red wooden door is walnut, this is a Baroque column, this is an exterior wall made of broken ceramics... It seems that it is not easy to become an architect.

If the building on Fifth Avenue reaches the protection level, there will be white marble tablets on the wall outside the courtyard at the entrance, which will write what level of protection it belongs to and which celebrity's former residence it belongs to. QR codes will be set on many building numbers. Visitors can then continue to hear the story of this building in depth. The five major roads reflect the historical trajectory of century-old changes in modern China. The ancient courtyard is still here today. Although it has no longer been as thrilling as it used to be, it is also writing a new history.

After a horse-drawn tour, it is also a good choice to enjoy lunch in the long-standing cultural buildings of the Wuda Avenue. We chose a "Jin" restaurant outside Minyuan Square that had a reputation for success. The taste is quite suitable for the family. Most of the dishes are not spicy, and we also enjoy them.

If you think Rome is far away, you might as well go to the Italian style district of Tianjin. Tianjin's Italian Style Street is the only remaining authentic Mediterranean building complex in Asia. At night, when the lights first come on, it feels like you are in a small European town. However, in winter, it is still difficult to understand its style. It is more like a lonely garden, and occasionally one or two people will pass by in a hurry.

Looking at some slightly deserted Western restaurants on both sides of the street, I believe that on a midsummer night, Marco Polo Square must be very lively! People gathered at open-air tables, chatted, chatted, drank beer and chatted until dawn.

Tianjin Night

Different from daytime, Tianjin night is quiet, like a delicate girl standing on a bridge and looking up at the stars in the sky. It is also like a quietly blooming flower, dancing with the wind amidst the melodious music. Don't show off, don't be favored, silently show your beauty in this complicated world.

We didn't go specifically to see the night, but the "Lightning Autobots" were like a quiet gentleman, accompanying us for a stroll in Tianjin, Century Bell, Jiefang Bridge, Tianjin Eye, Dagu Bridge... It was beautiful here, so I slowed down and liked it very much, so I stopped, took a walk in person, and felt it.

There are a total of 30 bridges in Tianjin, each with its own merits. The red oranges at Dagu Bridge at night were particularly eye-catching."Taishan" did not want to go back to the hotel to rest and insisted on playing on the bridge. We found a nearby parking lot that could charge the "Lightning Autobots". After several days of daily training, the little guy was familiar with automatic parking and how to charge. This "little driver" almost drove the car away.

Under the night, the eyebrow lamp of the Lightning Autobots shines blue like Thor's hammer. Electricity can be connected and conducted."Taishan" also learned to draw inferences from one example and placed his Ultraman in front of the eyebrow lamp, solving the problem that each Otter soldier only had enough energy to fight for three minutes.

We arrived at the Dagu Bridge slowly. The wind on the river passed through the bridge gap and cut our faces. Even so,"Tai Shan" is unwilling to leave and wears a small hat. We were jubilant on the bridge. Whenever a car passed by, the bridge would vibrate irregularly. We played and chased in the small waves for 30 minutes until the two fathers had clear snot on their noses before leaving.

I only wish to have a long dream but not wake up. Only by personally experiencing the night in Tianjin can I say that I have a certain understanding of Tianjin. Only by personally experiencing the night in Tianjin will you realize that the night in Tianjin is so charming.

Vintage B & B in Old Hutong

This time when we took our son to Tianjin, we did not stay in a luxurious hotel. Instead, we moved into a private house hidden in an old alley near Wuda Avenue.

This is the only remaining bungalow alley in Tianjin. Although I lived for two days and didn't hear the cries of hawkers or the care of hutongs delivering vegetables to each other in my early years, one noon when I went back to my room to get clothes, I ran into an old man and looked at us. The first sentence I spoke was the ripe Tianjin dialect of "Eat!"

"Taishan" also added: "Eat steamed buns."

I was suddenly pulled back to my childhood and lived in a guest house. At that time, my childhood playmates were all neighborhood children. As long as I said hello, I rushed over immediately. Everything was full of life and humanity.

Such an environment no longer reappears after it was replaced by exquisite buildings made of steel and concrete, and "Mount Tai" cannot be understood. Just like I couldn't understand that my parents had to cut grass and feed cattle every day after school in the countryside. Generations of generations couldn't interfere with each other. However, it is rare to have such an opportunity to "travel", which can also be given to people under 4. My son tells the story of his father and mother when they were young.

"Dad, this house is so old."

"Dad, why doesn't this house have a bathtub?"

"Dad, is there breakfast here?"

I didn't answer directly because these answers would only make a child looking forward to staying in a hotel disappointed.

She just patiently told him: "Dad, my mother slept on this wooden bed when she was a child, and she also leaned on this wooden table to do homework. You can imagine how interesting it would be to go to your parents 'home when they were children."

In fact, it goes without saying that "Taishan" himself can gradually find fun in the old house. The trampoline will make a creaking sound. The connection between the inner and outer houses is a small window. The glass in the kitchen is broken. Mom can reach out and play with rocks, paper, scissors...

Before leaving, I took a family photo. Although I don't know if my son will like this historical resting place in the future, at this moment, there is a retro memory we spent together in front of the red brick and green door.

The older the city is, the more cultural deposits are. This deposit unknowingly seeps into the bone marrow of the villagers and becomes proof that one land and soil supports one people.

Miracle of the New World [Daxing Airport]

"Wow, Daxing Airport is so big!"

"Grandma, did you see it? It's so beautiful."

For Grandma Taishan, who pays close attention to our movements, she started facetime as soon as she got off the plane, and in front of her was Tai Shan's constant praise.

In fact,"Mount Tai" was patronized at Beijing Capital Airport and Nanyuan Airport before. Only this trip to Daxing was activated by the imagination of the airport dome and the dazzling shops. We were also impressed by the first of the seven wonders of the new world. Under the glory of the phoenix spreading its wings, I lamented the prosperity of the motherland.

Beijing Daxing International Airport

Walking into this magnificent single terminal is like entering a white dream space. Looking up, the huge roof lines are soft and capable. In the wide space, eight C-shaped pillars are like towering giant trees, supporting the curved eaves of the entire terminal building; the sun leans in from the top lighting window, and the intertwined light and shadow The beautiful scenery gives the entire airport more transparency. So taking pictures here is not enough for one day.

While lamenting the majesty of Daxing Airport, I remembered some truths that have become more and more profound over the years. "The person who digs a well starts from a three-inch ridge and reaches a depth of ten thousand feet." National identity does not come from birth, nor can it be learned through a "surprise" day after tomorrow. I think the most important part of education is patriotism. This cannot be said to my son by mouth, and he can immediately understand it.

Last year, we were trapped at Osaka Airport for 48 hours due to a typhoon. It was the Chinese Embassy who rescued us immediately; today, we see our motherland completing the Daxing Airport, which stands at the top of the world... Every experience is a small seed, and I am also convinced that these seeds will take root and sprout as my son grows up. Because only those who truly understand patriotism and national pride can achieve true happiness.

There is no standard path in life

When we were preparing to return home at the airport,"Taishan" suddenly wanted to make an origami plane, but we didn't have suitable materials around us. So we thought of a solution together. My son suggested using mineral water to make the fuselage. I took apart the bread box and made wings. He had a great time and finally fell asleep on the plane holding this "new toy" of the earth tide.

In fact, parent-child relationship, what we play is not important, what we play is important is how we play. The most ideal state-we understand what the child understands; we also understand what the child does not understand. At least, we must interact with the child. This long process of searching is for both oneself and children. The starting point for children is the shoulders of their parents. In this way, we will overcome our anxiety and children will never have the same starting line.
