Chapter 239 Chopin in November
Leaving Northern Europe and marching towards the central region, the first stop of Poland, a country that was raging with war.
When I first met Warsaw, Johnson did not expect that this city that had been full of vicissitudes would be so green and full of vitality everywhere. Looking around, it looked full of green, parks, flower beds, lawns, forests...
The entire city is hidden in the sea of green flowers, and it is impossible to see that this is a place that has suffered from war.
This place is a place that witnesses miracles. It has suffered many disasters in history and has been occupied and ruled by aliens many times. World War II has brought devastating blows to the city.
Almost all buildings were destroyed, with ruins everywhere, and the city was almost impossible to see its original appearance. Some Westerners once asserted that Warsaw would not reappear on earth, and there would be no hope for at least 100 years.
The Poles turned this impossible into a possibility. Fortunately, on the eve of World War II, teachers and students from the Department of Architecture of the University of Warsaw made survey and mapping records of the main blocks and important buildings of the old city, and hid the drawings and materials in the cave.
After the war, Warsaw, which was exactly the same as before the war, was built on the ruins in just a few decades, and paid more attention to greening. With their efforts, Warsaw is now like a phoenix reborn and reborn in the fire, becoming a modern city full of green shade.
Slap in the face!
Johnson looked at Yelena who was smiling beside him. The girl had been with her for more than ten days, and it was logical that she should have changed people. However, the 30 or 40 small countries in Europe have different languages, so she might as well wait until the big countries to talk about it.
When you come to Chopin Park in the city center, a white building near the lake is Wajinji Palace, also known as the Water Palace. It was originally the residence of royal officials and is now one of the State Guesthouses.
The decoration was luxuriously decorated. It was once the emperor's palace, which stored 200 paintings, 60 works of art, seventeen clocks and eighty statues. Heavyweights such as Churchill and Roosevelt had lived here.
After settling down, strolling in the park, I have to mention a character when I mentioned Poland: Chopin.
This famous composer and pianist was very patriotic. Although he was persecuted and fled Poland, he still missed his own country, so the Poles loved Chopin very much.
It can be said that in Warsaw, his breath is circulating and everywhere. In order to commemorate the pianist, a free Chopin concert is held every weekend from May to September every year.
The lawn was almost full, and everyone surrounded the statue of Chopin, standing or sitting on the ground, listening to the elegant piano music, casual and lazy. From the concentrated listening and waves of warm applause, you can deeply feel the musical literacy of the Polish people and their great love for Chopin.
Under the soothing piano music, Johnson accidentally stroked it, as if he noticed that Chopin, who was leaning against a willow tree, was also listening carefully, and his posture of concentrating and looking into the distance was full of energy...
The grass in the park is scattered with ancient trees, and the eyes are full of green. Flowers of various colors are dotted, and the fragrance is swaying. When walking, the feeling of leisure arises naturally.
Standing on the other side of the lake, from a distance, the Wajinji Palace and the reflection in the water are integrated, and the leisurely reflection of white clouds is so beautiful.
I was tired of walking, and sat on the lawn, under the blue sky and white clouds, in the clear and transparent environment, and in the graceful notes. Suddenly, a few little squirrels ran by quickly, jumping or jumping on the grass, eating the food given to them by tourists, which was very pleasant.
At noon, I came to the nearby Qchnia artystyczna. The restaurant was built on a high place and had a great view. It looked like a castle. Although it was only one Michelin star, it was better than nothing.
The food is average, but the beer is good. Poles like to drink beer very much. Johnson ordered a glass of the most representative beer in Poland. Take a sip and the taste is very light.
After lunch, I walked on the street and met Jewish monuments several times. Whether holding weapons or bare hands, whether old or young, I looked at death with a look of silence. Brandt, the former Prime Minister of West Germany, once came here to mourn the victims and kneeled down to apologize.
Carriages are often seen on the way to the Old Town Square. The ancient carriages seem to bring the Old Town back to the Middle Ages. Because the palace, also known as the Palace Square, is a pentagonal red building, which was once destroyed, but still cannot shake its historical status in Poland.
Next to it is the famous Holy Cross Church, which is famous for placing the heart of Chopin. When you walk into the church, under the pillar on the far left is the place to hold the heart.
Above the pillar is a statue of Chopin, and under the statue is engraved a line of Polish, meaning: the heart is always in the most cherished place.
Johnson curled his lips and buried a corpse so literary?
He died young in his thirties, and his heart was taken out, put in a brandy bottle, and then sealed here. Although Chopin was diagnosed with tuberculosis, over the years, some people have tried to find out the exact cause of his death from the heart, such as whether he has certain hereditary diseases?
Finally, the researchers examined the container containing the heart and found that the surface of the heart was covered with white fibers. They finally determined that this was a lesion of severe tuberculosis complications.
Lao Xiao can finally rest in peace!
The old town with many buildings is not big, but it is very exquisite, with people coming and going on the streets, and it is very lively. Walking through it, looking at the buildings with great medieval characteristics and listening to the Chopin music whispering on the stone road, it seems that I feel like I am entering the history of Warsaw...
Looking around, this city has its own classic colors, pure white and lively and leaps and turns. The two colors embellish the Poles, streets and cities, making it more unique beauty here.
The square is surrounded by open-air bars, with some wooden chairs placed at will to provide convenience for tourists. Pigeons are the owners here. They don’t care about the number of tourists, but just pace around freely or eat food thrown by tourists.
Sitting on a bench to rest, or drinking coffee and beer under a parasol, feeding pigeons, it feels like Tony Leung.
The sky gradually darkened, and the lights were rising. Against the backdrop of the lights, the entire old city became more charming. At this time, the modern feeling was full of emotion, and the dazzling night view suddenly made Johnson realize that no matter what era, the world that humans yearn for is colorful, and the rich colors are just like the rich world in our hearts.
When the dove no longer symbolizes peace
I've finally been reminded
The square was fed with bald eagles
I use beautiful rhyme
Describes love that has been plundered
Ah, dark clouds began to cover up the darkness of the night
Echoes of funerals in the park are flying all over the sky
I'm in an empty cemetery
I love you when I get old
Play Chopin's nocturne for you
Memorize my dead love
