Autumn in Krasnoyarsk.

🍂Krasnoyarsk is a very artistic city on the banks of the Yenisei River. It doesn't have a strong Soviet flavor, and compared to Abakan or Kyzyl, it's more lively, with many Russians also coming here for tourism. In 1897, Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov was exiled to a small town near here for organizing a strike, spending three happy years. After the exile, he changed his name to Lenin, became the most steadfast Bolshevik, adhered to the revolutionary defeatist stance, and seized power in Russia in 1917. 🍂The center of Krasnoyarsk is a theater, with nine Muses carved on the walls and a statue of Apollo holding a seven-stringed lyre in front. Children run back and forth playing in front of the fountain. There are five or six such theaters in Krasnoyarsk, showing the Russian people's pursuit of art. 🍂A thick fog rose over the Yenisei River, obscuring the water, and the opposite bank seemed like a place for immortals. A woman received news of her husband's death, took off her shoes, stepped barefoot into the water, sat on the ground, and cried intermittently, while passersby looked indifferent. I also saw a wife waving a victory flag to welcome her husband at the airport, and the two embraced each other warmly. Slavs are known for enduring great losses, and these seem to be just episodes in life for Russians, with no one caring. Or perhaps it's a unique Slavic surface calm, with turmoil inside, I don't know. 🍂The park is on an island in the river, a few miles from the city, yet it's a completely natural environment, with birds singing everywhere and piles of dead wood. Especially when I went in the morning, there were hardly any people. Such places are hard to find in China. 🍂There was originally a Lenin Museum by the river, which was converted into a postmodern art museum. The subway under construction passes through Lenin Square, and the huge Lenin statue is inaccessible. The history of the Slavs is a history of migration, with the earliest Russian chronicles describing them as "fragmented and displaced." If there's no victory, there's only death, that's reality.
