World-class infrastructure maniac

Yin Zhili personally greeted them at the hotel, and the relaxed atmosphere of the entire Chinese exchange group instantly became serious.

After all, he is an international master architect. Yin Zhili had already started designing buildings when they were still learning to speak.

In front of him, the old comrades who are nearly fifty years old have become like young people, not daring to be disrespectful in front of their predecessors.

They thought that the old gentleman was just looking at Lifeng and didn't care about their foils.

Unexpectedly, Yin Zhili and Lufeng greeted each other briefly, and then said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard on the journey, and I, an old guy, will accompany you to talk and talk about the architecture of China and Britain in the past few days. Wait until tomorrow ,The architects participating in this special exchange meeting will come one after another, if they have any impoliteness, please forgive me."

He spoke with a familiar accent.

The Chinese, which is between Mandarin and dialect, kindly narrowed the distance between everyone.

People in the exchange group enter the room to put down their luggage and take a rest.

Mr. Yin Zhili accompanied them, having meals together and chatting after dinner.

Li Feng always stood by his side, not treating himself as a guest from afar.

Instead, as before, he cooperated with Yin Yiqiao and took good care of his teacher.

Compared with the road and bridge branch, the construction branch was more excited to see Yin Zhili.

Their people almost occupy the main field of chatting, from the Chinese building designed by Yin Zhili to the just-award-winning Federal Building.

Yin Zhili can always smile and say: "But I like the design of Beijing Tianfu Center even more, and your Honghu Airport, which was shortlisted for the International Architecture Award."

He can count the works of the Architecture Branch of the Academy of Foreign Affairs in detail, and point out their advantages one by one.

This old man in the UK knows every change in China and every landmark building built by the country.

Even when the representative of the branch of architecture raised confusion and doubts, he was able to speak out the crux of the problem with a smile.

Li Feng sat beside him and helped him make Biluochun.

When he came to the UK, besides bringing the design of the Wuqueshan Bridge, Lufeng only brought some new teas from his hometown for his teacher.

Near ten o'clock, their chatting finally came to an end.

Yin Yiqiao settles down the tired grandfather before slowly sending Lu Feng back to the room.

"Grandpa is very happy today, because you finally came back to see him."

"Of course, it is also due to the exchange group. After all, he is so keen on discussing Chinese architecture."

"Maybe tomorrow morning, he will happily sit at the exchange meeting and listen to you personally tell about China's incredible construction projects."

They chatted all the way, like going back in time.

Li Feng has not left England, they are still in love.

As usual, Yin Yiqiao sent Li Feng home like this, and then the two of them lazily waited until the next day before appearing side by side in front of CE Architects.

But today, the nostalgic atmosphere is always short-lived.

Yin Yiqiao stopped outside the legal room and said, "The schedule for the exchange meeting is [-] days, but the next few days are all arranged by our association for representatives to visit and tour the UK."

"Do you want...to travel alone with me?"

His question was full of temptation.

Li Feng's heart trembled when he heard it under the evening light, and then resolutely refused, "I don't want to."

"Okay." Yin Yiqiao smiled unsurprisingly, "Then I'll go on a trip with you."

Until the door was closed, Lu Feng was thinking about Yin Yiqiao's understanding expression.

It was as if he had anticipated his refusal long ago, and even paved the way for the refusal.

Brother, aren't you angry?

Lu Feng took a bath and went to bed, and when he closed his eyes, Yin Yiqiao had a gentle and indulgent expression.

He thought that Yin Yiqiao would be very disappointed today.

After all, he saw the Leith Library with his own eyes, but he was not as emotional as his senior brother expected.

Li Feng has only returned to China for two and a half years, and his thoughts have completely become hamsters.

Good things, all want to have their own.

He can't wait to hoard the best designs and best ideas and hand them over to the country.

Even if buildings, wherever they are, are treasures of human art, he can't help but think—

How good would it be for such a library to be built in China.

The intensive itinerary of the exchange meeting did not allow Rifeng to have any sentimental time.

The Castle Hotel, which seemed secluded and laid-back last night, was full of voices and flickering lights early in the morning.

The signature board of the Royal Institute of British Architects stands generously at the entrance of the hotel, waiting for the autographs of the architects.

Representatives of the National Institute of Design, while going through the process, checked the materials needed for the meeting.

Lufeng followed the experienced leaders and listened carefully to their requests and instructions.

They come to communicate and represent the image of China.

Wu Yingqi said in a rare way: "No matter what tricky questions the architect asks, you must speak with data, and don't worry about the data leakage of the Wuqueshan Bridge, because only we can build this bridge in the world. "

Only they have the need to build the bridge.

Lufeng nodded obediently, and said with a puzzled expression: "Wuyuan, it's just an exchange of ideas. The geographical environment of each bridge is different, and the architects don't care much about data..."

Unexpectedly, Courtyard Wu was very insistent, "No! You must use data. I heard that you had educated Stephen Lyant until he was speechless. I saw him just now, so you must use data!"

Li Feng suddenly understood Wu Yingqi's worry.

"Wu Yuan, are you afraid that if I say the wrong thing, the news reports will say that we are aggressive?"

Wu Yingqi was taken aback, and sighed, "I'm not afraid that you may say something wrong, but I am afraid that what you say may not meet the reporter's wishes. The media will be present throughout this exchange meeting."

"Foreign media dare to report anything."

Uncontrolled "freedom of the press", Wu Yingqi can only control his own spokesperson to maintain objectivity and rationality.

If Li Feng uses data, no matter how distorted the perception of media people, there will always be reports that conform to the facts, and use data to refute all false fabrications.

But Lifeng didn't use the data, and talked about the greatness and extraordinaryness of China as he did to Leonte. They were really moved by what they heard.

But for the foreign media present, they don't understand China, or even the construction of bridges, so they may not be as considerate as Leonte.

It is better to throw out the data and speak with the facts.

As a result, the much-anticipated exchange meeting became extremely exciting from the very beginning.

The first representative sent by the Chinese exchange group, Lufeng, clicked on the explanation PPT, and listed three sets of data on Wuqueshan.

altitude above sea level.

The length of the bridge.

The temperature in the mountains.

Before the architects were ready, they felt the cold wind in Wuque Mountain, the hypoxic altitude, and the unbelievable Wuque Mountain Bridge.

It turns out that the media reports really did not exaggerate.

The Chinese actually intend to build the world's tallest bridge at an unimaginable poster height and a distance of 3000 meters!

The architects in the audience, who should be familiar with the law, suddenly found this young man who calmly explained the data strange.

However, the unrealistic data he told was as unbelievable as he became a bridge engineer.

The architects thought that the Chinese would say emotionally: "It is not easy for us, what a hard work, what a genius, and we came up with this plan."

In fact, he was stunned by a bunch of data, and felt that every word of Lifeng was saying: "You can see this mountain, Chinese engineering is such a challenge to the limit, only we can do it."

In the process of Lifeng's narration, there are always intense flashes.

The architects concentrated on analyzing the possibility of building the Wuqueshan Bridge, while the media people were horrified and surprised, and only took pictures of the data and sent them to social media.

Once the concept for the Wuqueshan Bridge was completed, the architects immediately jumped at the chance to ask questions.

In the face of polite questions from everyone, Lufeng can accurately give the calculations of the construction group and the research institute, and answer their confusion.

Suddenly, someone said: "Data are just data. No matter how you explain this bridge, I just feel a pile of barren wasteland, eroding the natural mountains."

The man had a calm expression and a gentle and calm tone, but he instantly attracted the attention of countless media.

Moranis Klim, the engineer who won the highest international bridge award this year.

He is also the most versatile architect in the Royal Institute of British Architects.

He can build a bridge over a beautiful and rushing river valley, and he can also repair a roof as thin as a cicada's wing over a spacious and majestic stadium.

His dedication to art has made him arrogant.

Even in the face of everyone's surprised eyes, he said firmly: "Whether your bridge can be successfully built is still unknown."

His doubt made the scene a little dull.

Because countless architects are amazed by these data. It can be called a miracle to build a unique winding bridge on such a dangerous mountain.

However, for Kerim who has a weird temper, the idea of ​​a miracle obviously cannot convince him.

Li Feng stood on the stage, and everyone was waiting for his answer.

He can say that the bridge can certainly be built successfully, because Chinese engineering technology has far exceeded the imagination of those present.

He can also say that the Wuqueshan Bridge we designed has the best construction team in the world, which guarantees its success.

Unfortunately, any language pales in front of data.

Lifeng can prove that the Wuqueshan Bridge can be built, but before it is actually built, there will always be similar doubts.

He remembered Wu Yingqi's exhortation and said sincerely: "Then we welcome you very much. You can come to China in person when the Wuqueshan Bridge is completed. Only in this way can you feel that everything I said is true. .”

Faced with the invitation, Kerim shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't think I can wait until that day." The sarcasm in his words was fully revealed.

Li Feng was also quite rude, and replied directly: "If you can't even wait for four or five years, I can only feel sorry for you, your short and hasty life."

His words caused the media to become emotionally charged.

All data and bridges are boring processes. Chinese designers can chat with famous people like Kerim, which is what they want to hear when they are sitting now!

Almost immediately, they tapped on the keyboard, describing Mr. Kerim's problem in unmistakable words.

Then, in Li Feng's answer, he wrote sensationally——

If you don't live to complete the Wuqueshan Bridge, it means your life is short!

Lyant sat silently under the stage, feeling the anger that Kerim had nowhere to vent, and the sudden and enthusiastic carnival of the surrounding media.

He said with emotion: "Your junior brother is still so merciless when speaking."

Yin Yiqiao didn't answer Leant.

He just stared at the stage, looking at Li Feng with a calm expression.

After a simple retaliation against Kerim, Rifeng was not affected by the other party at all, and still answered the questions of other architects politely and calmly.

Li Feng has matured a lot.

The young man who used to stubbornly persuade arrogant questioners on such a stage seems to have restrained his edge and become gentle and harmless.

Yin Yiqiao can always detect changes in Lu Feng.

The confidence in that kind of speech made him no longer need to express his point of view eagerly.

You only need to take out the data calmly, and said slowly: "The curvature and steepness of the Wuqueshan Bridge have been precisely calculated, and the construction will strictly conform to its design, so there is no need to worry about it affecting normal driving. People who drive through it will not have any life-threatening danger."

believe it or not.

After a simple exchange meeting, the news media returned with a full load.

Listening to their chat, Yin Yiqiao could think of the report that night, what would be said about the young Chinese designer's brief confrontation with Kerim.

Sure enough, before seven o'clock in the evening, social networking sites were already buzzing.

On his homepage, Moranis Klim expounded his views in detail, and also attached an attack on the legal style.

Faster than news gossip.

He said: I don't agree with this special exchange at all, what is the meaning of it, China's poor construction engineering situation, there is no outstanding building worth mentioning at all.

He said: The Chinese have never disappointed me in breaking through the lower limit. They even chose to build bridges at an altitude of 3000 meters, inaccessible mountains. Are they trying to build a bridge of heaven?

He said: It is impossible for China to build this bridge. Even if it is built with a lot of manpower and material resources, it will become a pile of ruins built in the mountains sooner or later!

As a renowned bridge engineer and architect, Kerim has many supporters.

He posted such news on his web homepage, and voices of approval soon came.

"Sure enough, when I saw the crooked bridge appearing in the newspaper, I felt something was wrong!"

"I don't know what kind of exchanges the association invited them to, to show the whims of the Chinese people?"

"Professor Kerim, I support your opinion! Ruins, yes, ruins! China has spent huge sums of money to build countless modern garbage, but is unwilling to spend money to help poor people!"

The voice of prejudice has intensified.

Many architects who participated in today's exchange meeting also expressed their views on the Wuqueshan Bridge.

The design scheme, construction difficulty, energy saving and sustainability have all been marked with major question marks.

They even only need to publish the specific data of Wuqueshan, and they will naturally be recognized by more people.

Yin Yiqiao flipped through those remarks.

Even though most people admire the novel design of the Wuqueshan Bridge, they will never admit that the bridge has a meaning until it is completed.

In the field of architecture, there is never a shortage of novel and romantic ideas.

Only when the vision becomes a reality can this group of well-informed Britons be fully convinced.

Yin Yiqiao has been waiting for news from Lufeng.

However, the chat box was blank, and there was no trace of the phone call.

Yin Yiqiao, who was waiting for his younger brother to take the initiative, went out helplessly.

He went to Lawyer and knocked on the door, but got no answer.

So, he had to dial out the phone to see what his junior was up to.

When the phone was connected, there was no trace of frustration or anger in Li Feng's voice.

Instead, he said happily, "I'm looking at the library from the observation deck."

The observation deck of the Castle Hotel is the best place in the UK to watch the Leith Library.

Yin Yiqiao put a lot of thought into making this library beautifully located by the lake.

To convince the government and deal with the owner of the valley, you have to tell the owner of the castle hotel——

The Leith Library will become a new beauty for the hotel, adding new honor to the building.

Then he did it.

Build this unique warm library, and wait until the return of Lifeng.

It's a pity that his favorite junior is not as excited and happy as he imagined.

On the viewing platform at night, only a few street lights are left to illuminate the road for guests.

In the place that is still bustling during the day, at night there is only the thin and tall figure of Li Feng, lying there leisurely and admiring the Leith Library in the night.

The bright moonlight in the sky casts a hazy glow on it.

Closer to the original design of Lifeng——

A leaf falling to the ground quietly blends with nature.

Yin Yiqiao walked over and looked at the beautiful building together with him.

In the caress of the night breeze, Yin Yiqiao didn't mention any cyber attacks, but asked about things he cared more about.

"Are you unhappy?" Yin Yiqiao's voice was gentle, with a touch of loneliness, "Do you not like it?"

"I like it." Li Feng stared at the library in the distance, it was like a piece of art drawn on this mountain range, showing different aesthetics under different light.

"I'm glad too."

He said: "The Leith Library has a warming power, and it also creates a harmonious scene between man and nature in my imagination."

"but……"

Li Feng didn't go on, just showing a hey smile.

Yin Yiqiao couldn't stand his silly expression.

Because every time Lifeng laughed like this, his heart would tremble accordingly, and it was so soft that it couldn't be more soft.

"But what?" Yin Yiqiao asked patiently, with an unprecedented gentle attitude.

Li Feng took a deep breath, he knew that his answer would not be what Yin Yiqiao wanted to know.

But he really wanted to express the deepest love in his heart.

Because, Yin Yiqiao's gaze tolerated him as always, as if as long as he spoke out, he would be understood and recognized.

So, under the gentle gaze of water, he said seriously: "But, I want to tell a story."

"A story you must have never heard, brother."

Yin Yiqiao suddenly smiled and said, "Is there any other story that I haven't heard?"

"En." Li Feng nodded, looking very sure.

Yin Yiqiao knows many traditional Chinese stories.

After all, he is the grandson of Yin Zhili, and he has learned traditional Chinese culture since he was a child.

Classical Chinese, ancient architecture, talking about these things that belong to China, Yin Yiqiao always has a special charm, which makes Lufeng fall in love, and mistakenly thinks that he has found someone who knows China and himself best in a foreign country.

However, Li Feng's sight fell on the Leith Library under the viewing platform.In the night, it can glow sparkling and bright in the moonlight because Yin Yiqiao realized his vision.

Yin Yiqiao, who once understood his architectural philosophy so well, gradually no longer understands him.

Because they grew up in different worlds, even the stories that affect people's lives have different marks.

He said: "The story says that a war reporter came to the front line and found a soldier in the trench reading an old book in the dark night with the faint light of a match."

"He couldn't read, he was just reading the illustrations in the book."

Li Feng smiled, with the loneliness of modern people and speculation about that era.

"Not a great illustration either, just a child reading a book under a chandelier."

There is really nothing special about the illustration of reading a book under the chandelier, but Li Feng said it very seriously.

Yin Yiqiao's attention was attracted by his slightly sad eyebrows.

Instinctively feel that this is a very important story.

Lu Feng continued: "The soldier asked the reporter, have you ever seen an electric light? The reporter said no. Because China was very poor at that time, even if the first arc light was lit in the late Qing Dynasty, there were many people who didn't know it at all. There are still electric lights that light up when you press them in the world, and you may never feel the brightness of the lights in your whole life."

People outside the illustrations are envious of the lights on the illustrations.

Li Feng smiled, and gently talked about the soldier who might not exist at all.

"He said: 'How wonderful! I hope that after the war is won, children can also read under such lights.'"

Yin Yiqiao had a beautiful imagination about the text.

Books written for young children tend to give their protagonists a sonnet-like romance.

He evoked a gentle smile and asked, "So that person's dream has come true, China has become powerful, and now everyone can use electric lights."

Li Feng nodded and said: "The dream has come true, but he can't see it."

"Because he became a light that pointed the way on the night of the war, and died on the eve of liberation in 1947. In just two years, the war will be won, the new China will be established, and our voice will be sent to the world. "

The stories of those distant war years have nothing to do with them at all.

Li Feng lives in a big city with good conditions, and there is no need to remember the story of the war.

However, Lufeng just said softly, "The reporter in the story helped the soldiers see the electric lights in their dreams, and the soldiers won the future of using electric lights for thousands of children living in China."

"Brother, this is just a story, and it may even be fabricated by the author."

"However, in China, there are indeed many such fighters, which exist in the memory of every Chinese."

The cross-river boatman, Wu Hua of the State Council, and tens of thousands of victims sacrificed for their beloved motherland without seeking fame or fortune.

Just to let people on the land of China have a better life.

"How wonderful."

Leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, Lufeng suddenly felt that the lights envied by soldiers were just like the library he had expected.

"I'm delighted that it's being celebrated and recognized in the UK."

"but--"

"If China can also build such a library, I will definitely shed tears."

The author has something to say: "Light" (article written by Wang Yuanjian)

"How wonderful!"
