Travel with music | Burning of the Old Summer Palace, Old Summer Palace Museum

🎶Travel with music. Lyrics of the song "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace": Who destroyed your prestige? Who caused the fire to spread and the hatred to reach the sky? Who doesn't feel anger and sorrow? How much blood and sweat have been shed to build it, and I have built it with my heart and soul, hoping that it will be passed down through the ages. I didn't expect to end up like this, bringing disgrace to my country and my family. The fire filled the garden with blood and flesh. I died for you because I wanted to protect you. I hope the shock of the fire will make my descendants remember it. You will realize why you were bullied and why you were bullied. Use this fire as a reminder to bring up old grievances and why you were bullied.

🌈On October 13, 2023, the Old Summer Palace Museum was officially unveiled. The "Inheritance and Watching—Old Summer Palace Cultural Relics Protection Achievements Exhibition" was held at the same time, with 7 stone pillars, 5 animal heads, and more than 230 pieces (sets) of cultural relics on display.

👉Looking at the line drawing of this beautiful garden, you can imagine the beautiful scene at that time. There is only one sentence, why did the "burning of the Old Summer Palace" happen...

👍Now we have such good cultural relics protected by us, and built such a large museum, just to let us remember history.
