Along our way.
Climbing up the seven hundred of stairs
I finally reached!
The four of us :)
We make it to the peak !
Tour around 諸葛亮's house and I was delighted by what I saw.
All the ancient pot, bed and even the long table were as old as creation.
The ancient wooden door
The hut house
Just for fun and laughters.
They were more than what you see.
From the statuettes, I get to learn and understood the history behind them.
As far as everyone concerned, Zhuge liang was only assented to serve Liu Bei when Liu Bei paid three visits to Zhuge Liang to invite him into becoming his key advisor on the recommendation of Sima Hui and Xu Shu.
Eventually, Zhuge liang was moved by Liu Bei’s sincerity, virtue and morality.
When Liu Bei was being pursued by Cao Cao, Zhuge liang devised a plan to withstand Cao Cao. He also personally traveled to Wu and formed an alliance with Sun Quan, through mediation of Lu Su, and fought together with them against Cao Cao . During this period, Zhuge Liang advised Liu Bei to conquer as much territory in the southland as possible . In this way, Liu Bei had a shelter from which he could build up further campaigns.
From there, it also brought me to understand Zhuge liang 's Southern Campaign as well as the Northern Expeditions.
Our tour guide was explaining to us why Empress Dowager Cixi stamp at the top, instead at the bottom as Empress Dowager wholeheartedly wanted to be on top of everyone.
The local kids having their field trip there too.
The tour brought me closer to Zhuge liang and I start to admire him now.
I'm serious, after understanding so much of his history.
A brief history of him to share:
Zhuge Liang , 諸葛亮 was chancellor during the Three Kingdoms period of China.
He is often recognised as the greatest and most accomplished strategist of his era.
Adding on, he was not only an important military strategist and statesman but he was also an accomplished scholar and inventor.
He was believed to be the inventor of the landmine and a mysterious, efficient automatic transportation device (initially used for grain).
It was described as a "wooden ox and floating horse" (木牛流馬), which is sometimes identified with the wheelbarrow.
Zhuge Liang , 諸葛亮 was more than a hero I found it!
Had our lunch before we set off journey back to our hostel.
The day didn't end after I returned back to my apartment at night.
Over at my block, everyone was busy getting ready to surprise Jinrong as it was his birthday today.
As the clock striked, everyone make their way waiting at his doorstep.
It was rather thrilling I found it.
We ran up and down the block as Jinrong chase after us with the cream, along some screaming.
To our dismay, we were playing too wild that neighbours screamed at us.
It was a madness night of fun and laughters.
Birthday cake for Jinrong.
Busy doing preparation.
Right at the doorstep, geeting ready to surprise Jinrong
The birthday surprise yet to end after blowing the cake, another round of surprise waiting for him.
All the mess in their apartment.
Cream was spotted everywhere in the room.
THE END
OF
THE DAY
