Chapter 445 Flag Raising and Military Parade
After securing a good viewing spot, Li Qin and Xu Damao chatted while waiting for time to pass.
There is still some time before the flag-raising ceremony.
However, if you wait until almost the right time to arrive, there won't be any good seats left.
While the two were waiting, more and more people arrived at Tiananmen Square.
As time went by, more and more people gathered there.
Soon, the once relatively spacious area was filled with people.
This is where the advantage of Li Qin and Xu Damao arriving early became apparent.
Compared to the crowds of others, the two of them not only had a good standing position, but were also in the front row, so they didn't have to worry about their view being blocked.
Li Qin noticed that most of the people around him had similar expressions on their faces and in their eyes;
Excitement and reverence!
Influenced by the emotions of these people, Li Qin couldn't help but feel a little agitated as well.
As the eastern sky gradually turned a pale white, the sound of orderly footsteps suddenly drifted from afar.
The previously noisy scene instantly fell silent.
Everyone present tacitly fell silent, craning their necks to look in the direction from which the footsteps were coming.
Even Li Qin was no exception.
Amidst the cold wind and a light morning mist, two imposing squads of flag-bearing warriors emerged from the city tower.
With their heads held high and chests out, they marched with powerful, orderly steps, escorting the bright red flag straight toward the flagpole.
At that moment, all eyes in Tiananmen Square were fixed on the red flag that was about to be raised, and everyone stood at attention.
As the majestic march played, the red flag slowly rose amidst the singing.
At that moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on that flag.
This may look like just a flag, but it carries endless suffering and the dreams and hopes of countless people.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and every heartbeat resonated in sync with the raising of the flag.
As the sun rises in the east, the red flag is also raised to the top and flutters in the wind.
At this moment, all the waiting and anticipation transformed into boundless pride and joy.
"Even though we're from completely different worlds, I never expected that hearing this similar melody and the same flag would make me lose control of my emotions."
Upon seeing this scene, Li Qin suddenly realized that his eyes had unknowingly become moist.
Li Qin couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
A hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes.
Although everything was almost exactly the same, Li Qin knew that this world was not the world he originally knew.
No matter how much success he achieves or how much wealth he acquires in this world, deep down he always feels a slight sense of detachment from it.
There is a lack of a sense of belonging.
But just now, he suddenly had a strange feeling that this world was the world he had always known.
Unfortunately, the last illusion was just that—an illusion.
Even so, Li Qin still wished in his heart that this newly established country would prosper.
In the future, may we face challenges without fear, forge ahead bravely, and write our own glorious chapter.
Li Qin had no doubt about this.
Coming to his senses, Li Qin subconsciously glanced at the people around him and found that everyone's expression was very complicated.
Even Xu Damao, who was standing next to him, was the same.
At this moment, Xu Damao's impetuousness had lessened, and his composure had increased.
It is clear that the flag-raising ceremony is not only a visual feast, but also a spiritual baptism.
Anyone with a normal set of values will feel something after seeing this.
Normally, people will gradually return home after the flag-raising ceremony.
But today is different.
After the flag-raising ceremony ended, no one rushed to leave. Instead, they remained in place, as if waiting for something.
In fact, what everyone is waiting for is the upcoming military parade.
Although it wasn't a grand military parade, it was still very appealing to the Chinese people.
Li Qin was also very interested in this matter. Before his time travel, he had watched military parades many times through the internet, television, and other means.
That time had a great impact on Li Qin, and he really wanted to see the military parade.
But after he finished reading it, he was filled with emotion once again.
Although at this time, neither equipment nor other aspects can compare with those of decades later, there is one thing that remains unchanged.
That is the spirit and temperament of those soldiers.
By the time the military parade was over, it was already past ten or nearly eleven o'clock.
The people around gradually began to disperse.
At this moment, a glint of light flashed in Li Qin's eyes;
"It's time to get down to business."
Li Qin turned to Xu Damao beside him and said:
"Da Mao, you can ride your bicycle back by yourself later. I have something to do, so I'll leave first. I might not be back at the courtyard house until tonight." Li Qin had already mentioned this before, so Xu Da Mao didn't react much when he heard it, and just nodded slightly.
"Then take care of yourself."
Li Qin nodded, and then, under Xu Damao's gaze, slowly walked in one direction.
Soon, Li Qin's figure had blended into the surrounding crowd.
Only after Li Qin's figure was completely out of sight did Xu Damao slowly walk towards where the bicycle was parked.
At first, Xu Damao was indeed somewhat disappointed because he couldn't go back with Li Qin.
However, when Xu Damao saw Li Qin's nearly new bicycle, the disappointment on Xu Damao's face gradually disappeared.
Instead, they were filled with excitement and anticipation.
Xu Damao took out the key that Li Qin had given him earlier, unlocked the bicycle, and then rode the bicycle slowly towards the courtyard house with a happy expression.
Meanwhile, in a secluded corner not far away, a figure quietly watched Xu Damao ride away on his bicycle.
This person was Li Qin.
Li Qin had naturally left in front of Xu Damao, but just to be on the safe side, he secretly cast a confusion spell on himself.
Then he followed not far behind Xu Damao.
One reason was to ensure Xu Damao's safety, and the other was to ensure that the other party could successfully retrieve the bicycle.
Xu Damao has now left on his bicycle, and Li Qin is now off to do what he had planned long ago.
Li Qin turned and walked forward.
Because he had already been encased in a Confusion Charm, even if he did something unusual, it would be subconsciously ignored by those around him.
However, this effect is not absolute.
According to the knowledge passed down through generations, some people with extremely strong spirits can possess extraordinary magical power even without mastering it.
It can still resist the effects of the Confusion Charm to a certain extent.
China has never lacked people with strong will and spirit.
Today is a special day, and people who have survived endless wars can be seen everywhere in Beijing.
Or perhaps someone who has retired from the covert front.
These people are all exceptionally devout and incredibly strong-willed.
So after walking for a while, Li Qin finally found an alleyway where no one had been.
He turned and went inside.
