109

Kiki and Fang Xionan enjoyed their stay in Beijing for 6 days, with daily routines that almost never changed. Every morning, they wake up and prepare to go out, with the main goal of shopping with the system points owned by Kiki.

They explore various state-owned stores, factories and stations that provide Kiki with a variety of products from home and abroad. Kiki even managed to get some antiques such as jewelry, household appliances, and retro clothes. They also enjoy delicious local food at state restaurants along the way.

Hahaha Kiki almost died of pleasure.

Kiki and Fang Xionan lived their days in Beijing with great zeal. Every morning, they wake up and immediately get ready to explore this historically rich city. One of the places they visited was Tiananmen Square, an icon in modern Chinese history. They take pictures in front of the large statue of Mao Zedong and admire the architecture and monuments around it.

In the middle of their visit, Kiki sees a miniature statue of Mao Statue being sold in a gift shop near Tiananmen Square. He was drawn to the statue and approached it.

Kiki asked the seller, "How much does this miniature statue cost?"

The seller replied, "It costs 50 cents, Mr. House."

It is said to be expensive, because people today are more concerned with buying food when compared to buying paintings that you cannot eat.

Most people will assume you are wasting money if you buy it. So 50 cents to buy a painting is really considered expensive this year.

Not a stingy Kiki, but this year's street painters, are the ones who can afford to bear but actually these 50 cents aren't expensive at all. However, few people want to buy it.

Though the price in the 70s, different from the price that applies in 2020. If we refer to inflation and price changes over the years, then we can assume that the prices of such art goods will be much higher in 2020.

Kiki was a little surprised at the price that was quite expensive for the size of the miniature statue, but she liked the details very much and decided to buy it.

After purchasing the miniature statue of Mao Statue, Kiki and Fang Xionan continued their visit to the Great Wall of China.

Kiki and Fang Xionan walked down the Great Wall of China, looking at each perfectly arranged stone and brooding over the long history attached to it. They felt such a powerful ancient aura around them, and it made their experience even more special.

After ascending the hill, the open landscape overlooks them with an unforgettable landscape beauty. They could see the approaching green mountains, and the blue sky that stretched over them provided a perfect contrast.

Kiki and Fang Xionan sat for a moment on the wall. They feel small under such a wide horizon, and remain silent for a while, only to enjoy the silence and beauty that exists.

"This place is so beautiful" Kiki said with sparkling eyes. "There really are no words to describe it."

Fang Xionan agreed, "Yes, this is a sight we will never forget. I'm so grateful to be able to experience this with you."

Kiki could not help but be curious and was interested in knowing more about Fang Xionan's past experiences, in a world invaded by zombies. With sparkling eyes, he asked, "Fang Xionan, what can you tell me about the experiences in the past, when the world was attacked by zombies? Did the Great Wall still exist in that era?"

Fang Xionan smiled gently, reminiscing about the past so differently. "Kiki, when I was in those days, the world was indeed in chaos due to zombie attacks. The Great Wall of China still stands, but it is one of the last bastions of defense that protects humans from the threat of zombies. I took part in the effort to defend the Great Wall and tried to save as many people as we could."

Kiki listened with mixed feelings. Fang Xionan was a reincarnated soul from such a dangerous and violent world. Kiki knew that the stories were not always beautiful, but they were an important part of Fang Xionan's life journey.

Fang Xionan continued on with a distant look"We didn't always manage to protect the Great Wall, and many parts of the wall were damaged by zombie attacks. However, the spirit to endure continues to burn, and we never give up."

Fang Xionan pondered with empty eyes, reminiscing about the unforgettable days when the zombies appeared and the world sank into chaos. "Kiki," he said in a trembling voice, "it is a true doomsday. All we think about is how to get food to survive tomorrow."

In silence, he continued, "The horrors that occur are not only the result of zombies, but also human behavior. It was a day where most humans lost all their human instincts. I see children selling their mothers, mothers selling their children, even real fathers kidnapping their own daughters to be wives. The inter-family killing, the selling of relatives, there really was no limit to his cruelty. Only one thing matters: food."

Fang Xionan was silent for a moment, trying to gather back the power in his voice. "At that time, fear was not only because of the zombies that wanted to kill us, but also the fear of our fellow humans. Those were the times where civilization collapsed and there lived only madness and suffering."

Kiki listened with a thumping heart, realizing that Fang Xionan had experienced a horror that was hard to imagine. He felt grateful that they were now living in a more peaceful time, but also increasingly convinced that this story was an inseparable part of Fang Xionan's extraordinary journey.

The atmosphere that had been tense suddenly turned cheerful as Kiki laughed out loud. Fang Xionan looked at him in surprise, "Why are you laughing?"

Kiki replied while still smiling, "Remember when we first met? You eat that much! I wonder how anyone can eat that much."

The meeting took place at his restaurant in a state-owned restaurant, where Fang Xionan ordered so much food that passersby talked about him seeing piles of bowls and plates, ' he said , it is usually eaten by several men at once.

Kiki was also briefly astonished at the time, but actually Fang had a reason to do it.

Fang Xionan at the end also laughed softly, recalling the moment. "Hahaha, That's because I rarely found food back then"

Kiki nodded in agreement and patted her on the shoulder, "Now I understand. You did what was necessary then to survive."

Fang Xionan smiled and declared, "But now we live in a safe place. No more zombies, and the food is plentiful. We're both lucky to get through all that."

The two of them laughed together, celebrating the difficult past cheerfully, while being grateful for the better life they lead now.

Yes, they are walking together over the Great Wall of China, to witness its beauty.

They spent a few more moments on that hill, letting the beauty of the Great Wall of China seep into their hearts. There was no necessary explanation, because the scene itself already spoke so many words.

 During their visit, they met a street artist who was painting a view of the Great Wall.

Kiki decided to approach the artist and talk to him. "Your painting is beautiful. Did you sell your painting?"

The artist smiled and replied, "Yes, I sold this painting. It costs 100 rupiah, Host."

Kiki considered the price. "Can you give me a little discount? I really like this painting."

Hey, even though it already has an amount of money that can't be counted anymore, Kiki is still bidding.

After a bit of a bargain, they finally agreed with the price of 8O cents, Kiki was happy with this purchase and felt happy to be able to bring home a unique memento from her visit to the Great Wall.

Although the history of street art and independent artists may not have been so popular in the 70s, there are still some artists who sell their work in famous tourist attractions. Kiki and Fang Xionan felt lucky to get impressive souvenirs from their visits to Tiananmen Square and the Great Wall of China.

Fang Xionan suddenly recalled a history he had long forgotten. With a brooding expression, he said, "I remember that in the late '70s, the country would open a university again. But the specific time, I forgot."

Kiki, who once lived a life in the modern world, certainly had knowledge of the history of the country, pretending to be surprised. "really?" he said with awe.

Fang Xionan nodded softly, "Yes, but don't be too loud. I'm afraid someone's listening."

The previous period, known as the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), has resulted in the destruction of many aspects of culture, including the education system. During that time, universities and schools had been closed or destroyed, and many intellectuals were exiled, imprisoned, or forced to work in the countryside. This led to a dramatic decline in education and knowledge levels.

However, in the late 1970s, the Chinese government began to change its course. They realize that education is the key to the progress and development of the country. Therefore, gradually, they reopened universities and other educational institutions that had long been closed. This move was one aspect of the Reformation and Opening period.

This was also the beginning of an era of important intellectual development in China, where many thinkers, scientists, and students began to engage in open discussion, innovation, and the search for science. The universities became centers of creativity and knowledge, which played an important role in the development of modern China.

Thus, the reopening of universities in the late 1970s was a milestone in the course of Chinese education, reflecting the significant changes after the period of political turmoil of the Cultural Revolution.

Therefore, in the lecture there will be mention of this, because this period is able to change the country directly.So Fang xionan still remembered although a bit vague vague.

"Ah so I will study harder and become a student in the first year" said Kiki who smiled.

He was sure, if the year with , things would happen soon.Kiki just need to be ready to be ready to pick her up.

"i'll support you, but I won't go to college, I'm too old for hahaha school"

They both went on to talk about a hopeful future, where they can contribute to the development of their country. It was a conversation that pumped passion and confidence in themselves, given the upcoming journey

After a long conversation that happened to the great wall they both waited for the sunset there.Newly after that to both return home by bicycle.

Don't worry about the dark, Fang had eyes that could see deep in the darkness and the speed he pedaled his bike was faster than a city bus.

As a result half an hour later, Kiki and Fang xionan had already arrived home again.

Kiki was a bit tired but Fang was not so.Tomorrow they would leave Beijing, Kiki would go to qingchen to celebrate the new year while Fang xionan forced to come along.

He wants to know Kiki's relatives.

Therefore Fang xionan had to go to the cross transport station to get some rewards from the system, which now needed to be sent through this transportation.

Not much, there are just electric irons, a fan of color television and radio as well as a cassette player complete with some popular tapes.

This is sent so that, Kiki can wear it at home because the origin of this item can be explained later.

When Fang xionan brought up this idea, of course Kiki wanted to, by the way, he also had

 "Polaroid Instant Camera." The camera allows users to take photos and the results will instantly appear on a special paper known as instant photos. Polaroids have been in production since 1948, and various models have been around for decades, including in the 70s. Polaroid instant cameras were very popular in their time and became an icon in photography.

So when Fang Xionan in the darkness went to take care of these things, Kiki had already entered into dreamland.

He only regained his senses a little when Fang Xionan had already come home and hugged Kiki in his sleep.But Kiki was still continuing her dream until morning came.
