The Lugou Bridge Road here leads to Shengli Street. Historical buildings and immovable cultural relics can be seen everywhere, as well as the former sites of various command posts. New military regions have been built on the old land, highlighting Wuhan's status as a thoroughfare connecting nine provinces. The hospital's slogan is "Serving the People's Health" and the banner on the street reads "One Person, the Whole Family's Honor". Walking on the street gives me a full sense of security. The provincial museum is so large that it can accommodate the 800-year history of the Chu State. The name of the Provincial Museum’s history exhibition is “Looking into the Vast Sky of Chu”, which reminds people of the last few lines of this poem: Looking into the vast sky of Chu, the sky is vast. No matter how strong the wind and waves are, it is better than strolling in the garden. I have some free time today. Time flies! The wind blows the masts, the tortoise and snake remain still, and a grand plan begins. A bridge spans the north and the south, turning the natural barrier into a thoroughfare. A calm lake emerges from a high gorge. It is actually the most appropriate word to describe Wuhan. The chime performance at the Provincial Museum is worth seeing, and during the Spring Festival there is a special performance of "Spring Festival Overture". The Hubei Provincial Museum is different from the Hunan Provincial Museum. The Hunan Provincial Museum is light and agile, while the Hubei Provincial Museum gives people a sense of seriousness, like the bronze ware of Zenghouyi and the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue, which exudes a wise and cold light. The transportation is quite convenient, and you can basically get a taxi. It's just a little congested, so taking the subway is just right. The taste is heavy in oil and salt, which may not be very friendly to some of our friends from the south. But I think it's delicious 😋

In a small room, there is a scene of Cixi curtains listening to politics, the scene is very realistic, but the door is locked by a big chain, only a glimpse of the door. In the Forbidden City, the Qing Dynasty dynasty was in constant negotiation. On September 7, 1901, the Qing government was forced to sign the "Xin Chou Treaty" with 11 countries including Russia, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Austria, the West, and the Netherlands. It paid 450 million yuan of indemnity to the countries, and paid off in 39 years. The annual interest rate is 4%, and the principal and interest are more than 980 million. It is guaranteed by customs duties, regular tariffs and salt taxes. The "Xin Chou Treaty" is another extremely serious unequal treaty imposed by imperialism on China, marking China's complete collapse into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.
