After taking a tour bus, Luo Li and the rest got off the bus and went to the hotel. After putting away their luggage, they prepared to walk around East London and the City of London. In the UK, the hierarchy was very strict. All workers and civilians lived in East London, while the rich politicians and those with higher social classes lived in West London. Just like in Beijing, the rich lived in the First and Second Ring Road, while the poor ran outside the Fourth and Fifth Ring Road.
The group first took a taxi to 221 Beck Street, which was Holmes 'home and memorial hall in the novel. It was not that Holmes really lived there, but that he was arranged to live there in the novel. Later, someone bought the building and made it a Holmes memorial hall. Lori and the others paid 15 pounds each and went in after a short while. On the first floor was a souvenir shop that sold all kinds of souvenirs related to Holmes. Peni pestered Wang Zhengguo to buy her things. After a long time, she bought a pipe, a hat, a cloak, a magnifying glass, and so on. Then she went upstairs and went to the study of Holmes and his good friend, Dr. Watson. A lady in an old maid's uniform introduced them to everyone. She went all the way up to the attic, where Sherlock Holmes's tools were placed. It felt old. Luo Li had never read Sherlock Holmes before. She had only watched the movie, so she found it boring. After they came out, they began to take photos. They wanted to post some photos to their friends. When they took photos, there was a security guard in a British blue military uniform outside 221. After taking photos, it was like hiring a security guard for their villa to those who did not know what 221 was.
After visiting Sherlock Holmes, he decided to go to the wax museum. It was said that there were all kinds of wax statues of famous people that looked like real people. Most people couldn't tell if they were wax statues or real people after taking a photo.
When he arrived at the wax museum, he found that there was a long queue outside the door. Wang Zhengguo cursed,"F * ck, so many people are rushing to die. I'm not looking anymore. Let's go somewhere else.”The others didn't object, but it was said that there were wax statues of Cheng Long and Li Bingbing on the second floor. In view of such a powerful team, they gave up.
In the UK, if you asked passersby who Jack Ma or Liu Qiangdong was, most of them wouldn't know. You didn't have to be surprised. This was a fact. But if you ask people who they are, almost everyone knows who they are (just ask for their English names), and some will pose for a photo with you.
The Chinese movies that had the greatest influence overseas were martial arts films. They were supported by a few actors from the previous generation, just like how a few professors supported a university. Bruce Lee, Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, and Zhou Runfa.
Needless to say, Bruce Lee was so popular that everyone in the world knew about him. Decades after his death, he was still talked about with relish. A European martial arts fan could almost recite all the lines in Bruce Lee's movies, and Chan Chan had even played a supporting role in Bruce Lee's movies. Some people said that in the 1970s, the Western countries 'understanding of China was almost completed through two people. One was Mao XX, and the other was Bruce Lee. After all, the reform and opening up was only in 1978. In 1993, the United States specially issued the 20th anniversary of Bruce Lee's death. One of Bruce Lee's favorite songs was When I Am Dead. The song was out of print, but the lyrics could be found on Baidu. The lyricist, Christina Rossitti, and the famous painter, Dante Gabriel Rossitti, were biological siblings. The song that was played at Bruce Lee's funeral was quite a tragic song. It was not recommended to listen to it. After Bruce Lee's death at the age of 33, the only person who supported the Chinese martial arts film industry overseas was Jacky Chan. The first Drunken Fist was popular in Europe and the United States. After that, various movies appeared one after another. The movie stars he worked with became more and more famous, which established his status as an international martial arts superstar. Donnie Yen was able to become popular overseas because of the movie "Ye Wen", which was about Wing Chun. It was also because of this movie that more and more Wing Chun martial arts centers were opened in Tianchao City. It could be said that the movie was a typical example of driving business. Jetli became the cover of Time Magazine in 2002 with Hero. He had participated in many foreign variety shows and once demonstrated Taiji Fist on a foreign show, kicking the table apart. Chowyun Fat was able to become popular overseas because of Director Ang Lee's " Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." This movie was more in-depth and had won many awards. It was impossible to understand it after watching it once. Many foreign film students would be asked to study this movie specifically. The original music in the movie had been used by Olympic figure skiers as background music many times. Remember, you definitely wouldn't understand it after watching it once.
It was almost noon. The group took the subway to Celestial City in London. Like all big cities, London had traffic jams. It was faster to take the subway than to take a taxi. London's Celestial City was not as big as Manchester, but it was not small either. It was located in the Soho district in central London. Like Manchester's Celestial City, it was full of Celestial supermarkets, Chinese restaurants, travel agencies, currency exchanges, hairdressing, casinos, and other facilities. When they entered the city, there was a tall Chinese-style archway on the main street that was about 800 meters long. On it were four big words,"Hua Fu, London". Luo Li and the others first saw a stall selling grilled cold noodles and all kinds of kebabs outside a Chinese restaurant. Since they were in a foreign country, of course they had to try the grilled cold noodles. Gao Yi said that everyone could order whatever they wanted and he would treat them. Luo Li ordered a plate of grilled cold noodles and nothing else. Lisa didn't know much about Chinese food, so she followed Luo Li and ordered a plate of grilled cold noodles. Peni pestered Wang Zhengguo and ordered a few kebabs of almost everything on the menu. Luo Li said that they couldn't eat so much. Wang Zhengguo waved his hand and said,"Nothing. As long as she's happy."
The stall's grilled cold noodles were teppanyaki style. The boss was frying the pancakes while chatting with Luo Li and the others. Luo Li only introduced them as students who were traveling to London. The boss used a full northeastern accent to express that he had been running a stall here for two years and planned to earn enough money to go home and live a stable life with his wife. Luo Li felt that it was not easy for the other party and was moved by the spirit of the other party using the future as motivation. She ordered a few more skewers.
Of course, they were not full just by eating grilled cold noodles and skewers. The few of them carried small bowls and skewers and strolled around in Tianchao City. It was no different from Tianchao City in Manchester City. They had already eaten all kinds of restaurants. Suddenly, they saw a unique small restaurant called Big Pot Rice. Hearing its name was like hearing about that period of history. Luo Li thought of the high school history textbook about the cultural community and the big pot rice eaten during the XXX period. She led her head into the restaurant. An ancient atmosphere assaulted her, as if she had traveled back to the 1950s. The old tables and stools, the old newspapers hanging on the wall, and even the only dim light all revealed the stunning moment of the era.
After reading these newspapers carefully, they found that they were actually cultural relics. Some of the newspapers were published in 1958, and there were all kinds of MZD sayings hanging on the wall or pasted on the table. They sat around the table and looked at the menu to order food. Luo Li had just finished her grilled cold noodles and skewers and wanted to eat some vegetables, so she asked for a bowl of cucumber dipped in sauce. Lisa copied Luo Li's cooking as before, and Gao Yi ordered a bowl of spicy diced pork rice. Wang Zhengguo should have expected it. First, he threw the skewers and grilled cold noodles that he hadn't finished before into the trash can. Then, he ordered a bunch of dishes.
After the dishes were served, Lisa took out a knife and fork that she had prepared beforehand from her bag. Luo Li ignored her and continued to eat by herself.
While eating, Luo Li asked the waiter what attractions were worth visiting around here. The waiter introduced the "Big Dog Square","London Eye", and "Big Ben". He even specially persuaded the London Eye to be seen at night. It was very beautiful when it was lit up. Luo Li searched on the map but did not find Big Dog Square. She searched on Baidu and found out that Big Dog Square was the common name of Trafalgar Square among the Chinese people. This was because the people who came to the UK a long time ago were Hong Kong people and Cantonese people who spoke Cantonese. At that time, Hong Kong was a British colony, and there was a famous lion statue in Trafalgar Square. Because the pronunciation of lion in Cantonese was awkward, it was simply called Big Dog Square. After locating the location, they found that it was only a nine-minute walk from the Big Dog Square to the London Eye, which was only 14 minutes away. Therefore, after dinner, everyone decided to stroll over.
As they walked, they came across a shop that sold Chinese cheongsams. Lisa pulled Luo Li to go in and take a look. Luo Li looked at her phone and saw that it was still early, so she agreed to go in together. The three men just stood and chatted while Lisa and Peni picked out clothes to try on. Peni entered the changing room and not long after, she shouted,"Mr. Wang, come in."
"I'm calling you." Luo Li pushed Wang Zhengguo.”
"What's wrong?" Wang Zhengguo quickly replied.。”
"Honey, I don't know how to wear this, this, this dress. Help me."”
The waitress at the side saw this and asked, Do you need my help?"
"No, I don't need your help," cried Penney."I need my dear."”
Wang Zhengguo walked in and heard all kinds of dirty words.
At this moment, Lisa changed into a purple cheongsam and walked out.
Luo Li's first reaction was that there was no reaction and her mind went blank. Then, after confirming that it was Lisa, her head followed the qipao and traveled along the 5,000-year-old Li Sao of China. Perhaps Lisa, who was wearing the qipao, was too powerful. She actually shocked Luo Li to the Zhou Dynasty. What appeared in her mind was the poem "The Dove at the Pass, in the River Continent" from the Book of Songs. A graceful lady is a gentleman's match." Although Luo Li couldn't play the drum, she would definitely be able to if she had a guitar."Guitar music."
Then, he returned to the Han Dynasty after a slight relaxation. He heard Li Yannian's Song of Li Yannian," There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent.”It was estimated that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw Li Sha in front of him, he would also ruthlessly refuse Madam Li to let Li Sha enter the palace.
What flashed in his mind again was Li Bai's ""If we didn't meet at the top of the Jade Mountain, we would meet at the Jade Terrace under the moon."When Li Bai saw Lisa in front of him, he must have raised his goblet to look at the moon."So Noble Consort Yang is not the most beautiful woman in the world.”
After traveling around the Han and Tang Dynasties, his thoughts slowed down and returned to the Qing Dynasty. This time, Cao Xueqin's Dream of the Red Chamber's poem appeared,"When demure, you are like a delicate flower shining on the water, and when you move, you are like a weak willow supporting the wind." If Jia Baoyu saw Lisa in front of him, he would say,"Where is Sister Lisa from? Have you ever studied?”
Lisa, who was wearing a cheongsam, had a little flamboyance, but she also had the introspection of an oriental woman. It could be said that she was a model of the combination of Chinese and Western. Luo Li was stunned and could not extricate herself from it.
" Am I pretty?" Lisa spun around.
This turn brought Luo Li's thoughts back to reality. After the Chinese women finished their turns, they would raise one of their legs to cover their skirts, looking slightly shy. Lisa in front of her was just like a puppet turning mechanically, and her image value dropped by 10%. Sometimes, this was the case when couples were dating. The longer the time, the more their image value would drop. In the end, the other party could only leave first with the excuse that they had something on.
" Very beautiful," Luo Li replied. After all, it was the qipao of China, so it was right to promote cultural exchange.
Lisa was quite happy after hearing that. She turned left and turned around again until Luo Li was dizzy.
At this moment, Gao Yi came over and looked at Lisa.""Turn around, no, turn right. Yes, like this, kick your left leg back and forth. Let me see if it suits you.”
Lisa really kicked him back and forth. Gao Yi quickly squatted down and widened his eyes.
Luo Li sighed at how pure Lisa was. She then kicked Gao Yi, causing him to fall to the ground.
"What are you doing?" Lisa exclaimed.
"He's playing with women," explained Luo Li.
Li Sha didn't understand and looked at Luo Li blankly.
"The left side of the qipao isn't sewn," Luo Li explained.”
Lisa looked at the hem and immediately understood. She walked forward in exasperation and kicked Gao Yi.
After a short while, Wang Zhengguo and Peni had enough of each other. They picked out a dress for Wang Zhengguo to pay for, while Lisa hesitated and couldn't bear to take it off.
"You don't need to buy it here. You can save a lot of money if you buy it on Taobao."”
"What is Taobao?" Lisa asked curiously.”
Luo Li explained,"It's China's ebay, but the stuff is much cheaper than ebay, and the quality is better."”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lisa turned around and went into the changing room to change. Perhaps this was trust.
