World-class infrastructure maniac

Li Feng originally thought that the time of vacation and rest would be difficult.

Unexpectedly, he could chat with Zotel about the beautiful mountains and rivers in China while making the model of "Shanshui Xiaoyao".

This Australian who is good at Chinese has really never been to China.

He was particularly curious about any of the scenic spots that Lifeng told about.

But what he likes more is not the natural scenery, but the places of interest in China.

Zotel said: "Because when you introduce the scenery, I feel that all lakes and oceans are similar to Australia. But when you introduce Chinese architecture, I can feel the pride between the lines from the speed of your reply. Moreover, you The modal particles and punctuation used are different.”

Li Feng was stunned, and opened the chat history, only to find that the words he used to introduce Chinese architecture were far better than those poor "beautiful mountains and clear waters" and "picturesque scenery".

There are often exclamation points.

The Thousand-step Corridor, Magnolia Board, Jinshui River, and Chengtian Gate of the Forbidden City.

The long moats, fortifications, pavilion barriers, and boundary trenches of the Great Wall.

Palaces, lakes, plains, mountains of the summer resort.

The plaques, couplets, carvings, and steles of Suzhou gardens.

Every ancient Chinese building is the object of Lufeng's keen research.

He described their characteristics, and involuntarily used the analysis method from the architectural perspective, which is of course different from pure praise!

Lufeng smiled and typed, and said: "I made "Shanshui Xiaoyao" precisely because of the insights brought to me by these buildings. The natural scenery may have similarities, but the ancient Chinese architecture is unique. It has inherited thousands of Chinese people. The works of Civilization in [-]. When I describe them, I am indeed more excited."

Even though he is no longer an architect, he can still feel the weight of the Chinese civilization behind him while walking on the road of building the motherland.

As soon as you pick up the pen, you will see flying eaves, hanging corridors, carved beams and painted columns.

I'm afraid he will never be able to change his liking in this life.

The good holiday was turned into the production period of "Shanshui Xiaoyao" by Lufeng.

Shanshui City, which had been put on hold for a long time, finally moved forward a little bit.

After finishing it, Lufeng was about to send it to Zotel, when he suddenly thought of Yin Yiqiao.

He remembers clearly the look of the senior brother saying "I hope I can be the first to see your design" in a light tone.

Such a persistent and proud person drove for 12 hours, walked with him all over Wuque Mountain, and even drew him a sketch of a dragon taking off.

From the beginning to the end, this was the only request made to him.

Lu Feng stared at the beautifully rendered pavilions and corridors in front of him, feeling a little nervous.

It seems that when I was studying in the past, I handed over the design plan to the teacher. Even when I entered the email address, I would repeatedly confirm the narrow and familiar characters.

He just sent an email successfully, and then turned around and sent a WeChat message to his brother.

It should be still early in the morning in Britain, but Yin Yiqiao's video call came within 1 minute.

"Senior Brother." Li Feng connected in surprise, "You haven't slept yet?"

Yin Yiqiao in the camera is wearing a suit and leather shoes, and the shirt has been loosely torn off the bow tie.

His eyes were hazy with an indescribable blur, but also shining brightly.

Obviously not the appearance of just waking up, it is more likely that he stayed up until dawn and had not had time to rest.

However, Yin Yiqiao smiled very softly, and said in a low voice: "Because I can't sleep, I've been thinking why I can't sleep...so I was waiting for you."

He rarely said such things.

A smile smeared his eyebrows and eyes, and every word struck in Lu Feng's heart, releasing a slightly alcoholic fragrance.

The bright morning light outside the window shone on Lu Feng, but because of Yin Yiqiao's smile, he felt that he was in the ambiguous midnight.

He could only see Yin Yiqiao put the phone away in a daze, leaned on the sofa a little lazily, and opened the laptop in front of him.

"I want to see the pavilion you made."

Yin Yiqiao should be really happy, and even rubbed his eyes childishly, "It's better to have a reflection on the lake surface, so as to reflect the beauty of classical architecture with mountains and rivers."

Hearing this, Li Feng became even more nervous.

It's like handing in the homework, and the teacher has to correct it on the spot!

He quickly said, "Aren't you tired? You can watch it later."

"No, I'm not tired."

Yin Yiqiao raised the corners of her lips and looked over with gentle eyes.

He said: "I haven't been this excited for a long time. Because tonight, I attended the awards ceremony at the Leith Library."

The intoxicated man in front of him spoke with a deep accent in every sentence, expressing his love for the Leith Library.

He said: "It's just a very small municipal commendation, but what makes me happy is that everyone and every media are using the most beautiful words in British history to praise it."

"Xiaofeng, it's really beautiful."

Yin Yiqiao raised her hand to support her cheek, and said in a low voice as if sighing, "Because it was your design."

With a light tap of his index finger, he opened the new modeling of "Shanshui Xiaoyao", his eyes reflected the pavilions and verandas of the lake and water. "Like this building, it deserves all the praise."

Yin Yiqiao was so drunk that he could close his eyes and fall asleep immediately, but when he saw this pavilion, he cheered up.

He carefully looked at Lu Feng's new work, but he couldn't continue his heartfelt admiration.

Instead, he slowly frowned, not at all as relaxed and comfortable as when he praised Lu Feng just now.

In the quiet room, Yin Yiqiao's serious voice sounded again.

"There is a calculation error in your flying beam. If it is designed according to the current size, the force on the roof of the porch will crush the porch column."

Li Feng: "...Okay."

"Moreover, it should be a pavilion on the lake next to the civic center, so when you design, you must consider the unity of the overall style. The current shape is too retro, and it completely loses the modernity of the original "Shanshui Xiaoyao"."

Li Feng: "Well, I'll change..."

Yin Yiqiao's criticism immediately put Lu Feng in a serious position.

It is easy for him to recall the past when he was severely corrected by his senior in modeling mistakes in CE Architects.

2 minutes ago, Yin Yiqiao drunkenly praised the building of Lu Feng as the most beautiful building.

At this time, he still criticized him mercilessly for not caring enough, and put forward his professional views as an architect.

Maybe drunk people are often delirious and obsessed with expressing their thoughts, showing the stubbornness and seriousness in their characters.

Yin Yiqiao didn't intend to show mercy to Lu Feng's mistakes at all, and stretched out his index finger to lightly touch every question, with a serious expression as if Lu Feng was standing beside him.

While listening carefully, Li Feng took out his sketchbook and wrote down the questions.

I swear that I will debug well next time, and I will never dare to send it to my brother casually.

Architect Yin Yiqiao is not as considerate as senior brother Yin Yiqiao.

After being drunk, he picked out countless mistakes and omissions in the pavilions and corridors, and reiterated the meaning that "Shanshui Xiaoyao" should have expressed.

"What you want to do is not a set of antique buildings, but a modern creation with the advantages of traditional buildings."

If you don't look at Yin Yiqiao's tired and sleepy expression, but only listen to his voice, Lu Feng would think that you are in a classroom and accepting lectures from Yin Da Architect.

"I hope you don't forget your original intention because of your busy work or obsessed with designing bridges."

Li Feng nodded quickly, and continued to reassure, "I will definitely think about it next time before I make a move."

Instead of being distracted by modeling while chatting with Zotel like now.

He analyzed too many ancient buildings with foreign friends. Even the pavilions and corridors in "Shanshui Xiaoyao" carried the shadow of traditional Suzhou gardens, making mistakes that modern architecture should not have.

Yin Yiqiao was very satisfied with his assurance, and his eyes finally restrained their sharpness.

"Well, that's about it."

He reached out to close the laptop, "I'm going to sleep. When I wake up, I'll go to the association and help you arrange your trip to the UK."

Li Feng was not surprised that Yin Yiqiao was in charge of this work.

He asked softly: "Brother, is it the teacher's intention to invite us to come to England for exchange?"

Yin Yiqiao was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed softly, "Grandpa meant it, but he only made a simple proposal to the council, and it was unanimously approved by the council."

He understands Lu Feng's worries, the desire to gain international recognition, but not wanting any clinging relationship, is clearly printed on Lu Feng's face.

However, Yin Yiqiao admired his grandfather's ability to act and the influence represented by the name "Yin Zhili".

Yin Yiqiao said seriously: "You will never know how much the architects are looking forward to your arrival, and you have also underestimated the interest of the Royal Institute of British Architects in Chinese architecture."

"You have gathered the eyes of the whole world."

Speaking of this, Yin Yiqiao's complex expression showed a trace of unwillingness.

He closed his eyes and sighed as if unwilling to admit it: "At least... the bridge is.

The Royal Institute of Architects is busy finalizing the itinerary of the exchange meeting.

However, there are so many architects who want to attend this time, the number is completely beyond their expectations.

"Isn't Mr. Williams busy with the project in Dubai? He also wants to participate in the exchange meeting."

"Not only him, but also Mr. Wade. He came back from the United States and asked us to give him the Chinese exchange tour."

"Uh..." The staff who were in contact, inserted the topic, "Now there are more than 100 architects who hope to participate in the China exchange group, so... how big should we use the venue instead?"

When the directors decided to send an invitation letter to China National Design Institute, most of them were full of doubts.

Most of the well-known modern landmark buildings in China are the works of international architects.

In most people's perception, China's poverty and backwardness are not enough to support the needs of modern architectural art.

They did not expect that the announcement of the participation of the Chinese exchange group would arouse the interest of architects who were usually too lazy to participate in the exchange.

Even well-known British newspapers and magazines are applying to them for the right to interview for the exchange meeting.

"Could it be because of this report?"

The staff took the newspaper on the table casually, and a bridge design hovering over the mountain suddenly appeared in the mountains.

"It is said that in the explanatory works of the Chinese exchange group, there is this strangely shaped Panshan Bridge!"

It didn't take long for the Wuqueshan Bridge's winding mountain concept to be spread from home to abroad.

The British media people are full of unprecedented interest in the bridge that will be built in the icy and snowy mountains at an altitude of [-].

Such a bridge winding mountains, extremely thrilling.

With their usual exaggerated mood, they expounded their views on the design of the Wuqueshan Bridge, and instinctively raised many questions.

How bad is the building environment?

Can workers be invited into the mountain?

How high is the maintenance cost of bridge expressway?

These issues are far more attractive than simple design.

They have heard too many distant legends of China, and they can't wait to arrive at the exchange site of the Architects Association immediately, raise their long mirrors and short cannons, and take pictures of the answers to these questions.

Perhaps, ordinary people in the UK don't understand how scary such a bridge is.

However, this report gave the most perfect localization explanation very intimately.

It said: "The altitude of Wuque Mountain is more than 3000 meters, three times higher than the highest peak in Britain! We have to suspect that even if China builds a bridge here, no one will dare to pass through it!"

The highest peak in the UK has successfully become a reference for the distant Wuque Mountain.

Even ordinary people who don't understand architecture can feel the horror of building a bridge in Wuque Mountain from the mountains around them.

After reading this report, the staff of the association immediately had the same thoughts as it——

What did the people who designed this bridge think?

Does China really have the conditions and the ability to build this bridge?

Even if it is completed...does anyone really dare to cross the bridge?

Questions from British newspapers intensified along with the trip of the Chinese exchange group.

And when they arrive at the airport, rush to the top.

The major media are all on social networking sites, excitedly announcing the time of tomorrow's exchange meeting, and listing the representative works involved in the China exchange group in advance.

An exchange meeting immediately attracted the attention of the whole world.

Countless people who don't care about China at all also want to know what is an intelligent road congestion diversion project and what is a landmark worthy of China's pride.

Oh, and that unbelievable Qushuiwan Bridge that is so cheap that people doubt its quality!

And the dazzling bridge hovering over the peak of 3000 meters above sea level!

Mr. Garcia, a trustee of the Royal Institute of British Architects, is staring frowningly at the arrival gate at Heathrow Airport.

There were countless tourists coming out of it, and whenever he saw the black-haired and black-eyed team, he would ask urgent questions.

"Yin, is it over there?"

"No."

"And over there? They get together and it feels a lot like being in England for the first time."

Yin Yiqiao followed him with his eyes, only to find that it was just a group of high school-looking black-haired students carrying schoolbags, listening to their slightly dark-skinned elders explaining the precautions for traveling in the UK.

"Mr. Garcia, if my junior brother comes out, he will call me."

Yin Yiqiao had no choice but to stop Director Garcia's curiosity indifferently, "You don't have to wait here with me."

"That won't work." Garcia refused decisively, "Compared with your bridges, Yin Zhili's students, I want to know how they do intelligent dredging projects. I have to catch them before they are surrounded by architects." Before, ask the mayor, whether to sell it, and how to sell it?"

Yin Yiqiao understood his eagerness.

But he felt that Garcia must not understand China.

A truly successful congestion relief plan, in addition to relying on the intelligent system, the most important thing is to prevent ordinary people from occupying the streets, and to dispatch traffic police within 15 minutes to maintain normal traffic order.

However, he did not dispel Garcia's expectations.

As long as this gentleman is not trying to occupy the time of Lifeng, he doesn't want to entangle him at all.

Yin Yiqiao stared intently at the arrival gate of the airport where people were coming and going, and watched off groups of travelers going to England.

Finally, I felt the vibration of the phone in my hand.

He quickly connected, heard a familiar and gentle "Senior Brother", and immediately saw a mighty team.

They have black hair and black eyes, looking around the crowded airport hall.

There was also a tall and slender young man obediently following behind the elder while holding a mobile phone.

Li Feng was wearing a thin sports coat and dragging a simple suitcase.

"We've arrived at the airport. Courtyard Wu is contacting the receptionist arranged by the association. We can..."

He hasn't been able to tell Yin Yiqiao that they can meet at the hotel.

He heard the frequency in tune with the phone right in front of him.

"breeze."

Lu Feng raised his head in surprise, and saw Yin Yiqiao who was right in front of him.

He subconsciously looked at his phone, then at the solemnly dressed senior brother in front of him, and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here?"

This question is kind of silly.

Yin Yiqiao just smiled and didn't answer.

He reached out and took Lifeng's suitcase naturally, pulled Lifeng out of the exchange team, and handed over the rest to Garcia.

The smiling director went up to greet the exchange group.

The smart and capable translators around them have become their main way of communication.

But it will not affect them being enveloped by the meticulous enthusiasm of international friends.

The exchange group followed Garcia to board the bus, and saw Yin Yiqiao sitting next to Lufeng, and had no intention of acting alone.

The people in the courtyard whispered to Wu Yingqi: "I thought those young people would slip away quietly."

"No." Wu Yingqi understood Lufeng's temper, "Since it's a group trip, Lufeng is definitely not willing to part with us."

He looked over the layers of chairs, and could see Yin Yiqiao's back.

"However, his senior brother came here specially just to accompany him on the bus... I really didn't expect it."

The bus started slowly and drove on the ancient streets of London.

Garcia and representatives of the Road Institute are discussing the performance of the intelligent blockage removal project in private.

The translator took on the role of a tour guide, telling the Chinese people who came to the UK about the greatness of this world-class city.

Maybe it's because he hasn't come back for a long time, but when he looked at these British buildings that should be familiar, he actually felt the happiness of ordinary tourists.

They drove across London Bridge and passed Big Ben. The bus seemed to have taken a long detour so that the group of guests who came from afar could visit famous buildings in London.

The vehicle drove out of the bustling and congested urban area, and drove towards the lush green hills.

Li Feng suddenly saw the familiar eaves from a distance, showing gentle curves under the shade of the trees.

His eyes were immediately attracted by it, and after turning a corner, he finally saw its whole picture.

It was the library he designed, located beside a natural and quiet road, and as their bus drove, it displayed its huge body in all directions.

Along the way to the Castle Hotel, you can see the library from a distance.

Li Feng knew that Yin Yiqiao would definitely take him to the Leith Library.

But he never expected that he would take a full look at this design that belonged to him on the way to the hotel.

"This exchange meeting was chosen at the Castle Hotel on the middle of the mountain. There is a viewing platform built near the peak, and it is also the best place to appreciate the Leith Library."

Yin Yiqiao's voice rang out as the Leith Library came into Lufeng's sight.

Lu Feng stared intently at the distant buildings, and asked, "Is this the surprise you gave me?"

Yin Yiqiao said with a smile: "This is indeed a surprise from me, but the surprise you can get is not over yet."

Li Feng thought that the endless surprise was that they visited every angle of Leith Library along the way.

The winding road to the Castle Hotel surrounds this library in the lake valley. No matter how the car drives, Lifeng can see this gentle leaf from the window.

It perfectly presents the idea of ​​Lifeng.

A building with soft curves, located between mountains and rivers, blends into this natural world and becomes a new landscape in nature.

The vehicles drove around the mountain, and even the tired representatives of the National Council found this quiet creation.

They stared at it in amazement, always feeling that its distinctive glazed tiles smudged with a quaint and solemn atmosphere that does not belong to British architecture, but instead showed a different kind of tenderness.

Suddenly, someone asked, "What building is that?"

The doubts of the crowd were uttered by fellow travelers, and they couldn't stop talking.

"I don't know, but I feel like I've seen it somewhere."

"I think I've seen it before, mainly because of the shape of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the side, which impressed me so much!"

In the originally quiet room, there was a lively discussion among the representatives.

Most of them came to London for the first time, but they have the same memory of this library.

Wu Yingqi frowned and looked at it carefully, and quickly remembered.

"Lifeng!" he yelled, sitting in the back of the bus, "Is this your design?"

Wu Yuan's words immediately awakened everyone present.

They are keen to pass on Lifeng's bridge modeling and design, and of course they have all seen the library design drawings he made in England.

But they didn't expect that this library was actually built!

And its designer, who remained unmoved, did not reveal any news, which shocked them and surprised them.

However, the shock came late.

The drowsy bus just now sparked a new enthusiasm for discussion.

Countless pairs of eyes stared at Li Feng, waiting for him to express his emotion.

Li Feng has almost forgotten the process of designing the library.

The only thing with a clear memory is its original design intention.

Lufeng said: "This is indeed my design, but I have not been able to personally participate in its construction. Therefore, it is still the work of CE Architects."

Those words sounded like the modesty of a designer to the people in the State Council.

It's almost like "I just draw the blueprints, CE is the great builder", full of praise for this world's top architectural firm.

But in Yin Yiqiao's ears, it turned into a harsh line of demarcation.

The people around took pictures of it out of curiosity, but Li Feng just looked at it quietly, with a look of regret that Yin Yiqiao couldn't understand.

Yin Yiqiao asked in a low voice: "Are you unhappy? Is it because it was built not in line with your ideas?"

"No, brother." Li Feng replied seriously, "It is more beautiful than my design, and it is more in line with the peaks and valleys of this lake."

However, it is a British building, situated in the soft hinterland of the UK.

Li Feng turned his head and looked at the looming bookshelves of its warm floor-to-ceiling windows and the figures immersed in reading.

"So it belongs to CE, it doesn't belong to me," he said.

Hearing this, Yin Yiqiao frowned his handsome eyebrows.

He thought that Li Feng, who returned to England, would be as happy as he imagined.

Appreciate the library designed by himself happily, and recall his six years of studying in the UK with him.

However, when Li Feng saw this library, he was surprised for a moment, and then returned to his usual calm.

It seems that this beautiful building with black and white lines hand-painted by himself has nothing to do with him no matter how many people praise him.

The bus slowly drove into the castle hotel.

The atmosphere in the car became lively because of Leith Library, but Yin Yiqiao fell silent.

Of course, Lifeng can feel the emotions of his senior brother.

He remembered how his senior brother was so happy and drunk for the Leith Library. In comparison, his calm answer became a bit wolf-hearted.

Lu Feng looked at Yin Yiqiao guiltily, and was about to explain a few words.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure from the opened bus door.

It was an old man in a solemn three-piece suit.

He stood there with his hands behind his back, even though his face was old, he couldn't hide the kindness and soft light all over his body.

In an instant, Li Feng didn't care whether his senior brother would be angry or not. His emotions were blown up like boiling water by the old man who had been waiting for a long time, and excited roars rose in his ears.

He followed the team that got out of the car, staring at the figure of the old man.

When Li Feng stepped out of the bus, he couldn't help but walked over quickly, and then hesitated in Yin Zhili's bright smile.

Li Feng has too much to say.

For a while, I didn't know how to start.

Yin Zhili seemed to understand his hesitation, so he laughed and said, "Xiaofeng, how is my motherland?"

The long-lost meeting, because of Yin Zhili's never-changing gentle attitude, immediately overcomes the unfamiliarity brought about by time.

Li Feng walked up to him slowly, and replied softly: "Teacher, our motherland is very good."

His words even choked up uncontrollably amidst Yin Zhili's gratified smile.

"She's going to get better and better," he said.

The author has something to say: To clarify, I am particularly afraid that readers will hold the view that "Chinese and overseas Chinese are not patriotic if they do not return to China".

Because a country is not an independent entity, China's development cannot be separated from the world. For someone with outstanding achievements like Yin Zhili, staying in the UK will play a greater role than returning to China.

In this article, he was able to break into the Western world with the pride of the Chinese people and have a certain right to speak.

You can also use your own achievements to create opportunities for more outstanding students to go to the highest palace of architecture, and then cultivate people like Lifeng to return to China to contribute.

After the past two years, everyone should be very clear about China's reputation in the world.

When no one speaks for us, we need our own voice even more.

To be strong is not to rest on our laurels, but to make all nations come to court and be used by me.
