Reading "The Destruction of the Yuanmingyuan"

Everyone knows Yuanmingyuan. It is a world-famous royal garden. It is a collection of world-famous historical sites. It was built by a five-generation emperor for 150 years. It combines ethnic architecture with Western landscape. It is the treasure of Chinese garden art and the essence of architectural art. It also houses the most precious historical relics in the garden. It is the largest museum and art museum in the world and the pride of our Chinese nation.

In 1860, the British and French coalition forces invaded Beijing and broke into the Yuanmingyuan. They plundered and arbitrarily destroyed, and a fire made the essence of the garden art of our country and the essence of architectural art into an ashes.

Seeing the pillars and ruins of the Yuanmingyuan, my eyes seem to have emerged from the various evil scenes when the aggressors destroyed the Yuanmingyuan. It is really hateful! But the reason why Yuanmingyuan was destroyed was because our country was backward and poor at the time. Although China is an ancient civilization with a history of 5,000 years, we first invented compass, papermaking, gunpowder and printing. Because we are too closed and self-sufficient, when other countries are developing rapidly, we China is still in the same place, self-righteous, and feels complacent about the ancestors' inventions. Therefore, when other countries armed with artillery to attack us, our big knives and long bristles can withstand the muskets of others, so they have to watch them. Others plundered, but did not fight back.

From here, I have realized a truth: poverty and backwardness will be beaten. Just as China is now strong, no one dares to deceive us. Therefore, we must study hard now and grow up to serve our motherland and make us The country will always stand proudly in the East of the world.
