Acai's Sky

Chapter 649: Dragon and Lion Dances and Lantern Festival

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, lantern festival

Across China, people are still discussing the chaotic and turbulent social situation in Japan, as if they were watching a dramatic drama, enjoying the show while discussing it with relish.

But this bustle did not conceal the determination and pride in the hearts of the Chinese people.

In the streets and alleys, after meals, people talked excitedly or with a somewhat sarcastic smile, discussing the tiny country.

However, amidst the laughter and joy, the martyrs' cemeteries across China appear particularly solemn and warm.

The place was crowded with people coming to pay their respects. They set foot on this sacred land with admiration and remembrance for the heroes.

What was different from usual was that their faces did not have the usual solemnity and seriousness, but were instead filled with bright smiles that came from the heart.

They held flowers in their hands and gently placed them in front of the martyrs' tombs, then bowed deeply, as if they were having a conversation with the heroes across time and space.

Behind this smiling memorial is the most sincere consolation to the heroes who once heroically sacrificed their lives for the country and the nation.

Although they are gone, their spirit lives on. If these heroes knew about this and saw the unity and progress of the Chinese people today, they would surely feel immense comfort and pride.

The current situation in Japan is truly deplorable. The most encouraging news is that the Yasukuni Shrine has been blown up.

This place, which once enshrined many war criminals, has always been an indelible pain in the hearts of the Chinese people.

Now, it has finally been reduced to ashes, making countless Chinese people feel relieved, as if they had let out a breath of long-suppressed anger.

Not only that, there is also good news that makes all the Chinese people excited: our great motherland has entered a new era of universal system copies!

In this parallel world full of challenges and opportunities, every Chinese citizen who steps into the copy has unique skills. They move forward bravely, galloping across the land, and writing their own legendary chapter.

Because of this, our country is becoming increasingly prosperous and is striding towards the grand goal of reaching the stars and the sea.

It can be foreseen that China will create more brilliant chapters in the future, stand at the top of the world, and become the focus of everyone's attention!

During this day when the whole nation is commemorating the heroes, the copy system team also took the opportunity to strengthen ideological education.

In a humorous and witty way, they enable the sons and daughters of China to remember history and cherish the memory of the martyrs in a relaxed and happy atmosphere, and jointly write a glorious chapter of the new era.

Taibai Village at Night

The lights are bright and the place is bustling.

A Cai and Lu Yingqi stood on the top floor of the Fairy Tale Hotel, overlooking the dragon and lion dance performances below.

I saw a giant golden dragon dancing in the crowd. Its body was agile and powerful, and every dance brought with it a shocking power.

The dragon head was raised high, and blazing flames spewed out of its mouth, as if to set the entire night sky on fire.

At the same time, several majestic lions were jumping happily.

Their movements were flexible and varied, sometimes jumping high, sometimes rolling on the ground, which drew cheers from the audience.

The colorful silk on the lion's body sparkles under the light, like a gorgeous painting.

The streets are lined with all kinds of lanterns, including big red lanterns, exquisite animal-shaped lanterns, and antique palace lanterns.

These lanterns decorate the entire village with a dreamy beauty, making people feel as if they are in a fairy tale world.

People were dressed in their best clothes, their faces filled with joyful smiles, and children were running around and playing in the crowd, holding colorful balloons and small lanterns in their hands.

The adults gathered in groups of three or five, admiring the lanterns and chatting about family matters.

Many veterans working at the Taibai Village Sanatorium wore neat military uniforms and participated in the lantern parade in high spirits.

Their steps are firm and powerful, as if telling of their past military career.

At the Lantern Festival, veterans carefully made a variety of lanterns.

Some lanterns are themed on military flags, with bright flags shining under the lights; some lanterns are decorated with images of soldiers, so lifelike that people seem to see their heroic figures on the battlefield.

During the parade, veterans also performed wonderful programs.

They sang military songs loudly, and the passionate melodies echoed in every corner of the village; some demonstrated military skills, such as drill performances, grappling and fighting, which drew cheers from the audience.

The entire Lantern Festival was filled with a strong military atmosphere, showcasing the demeanor of veterans and their love for the motherland. In their own way, they added a unique touch to this traditional festival.

Lu Yingqi's eyes widened. She kept her phone live streaming the video. "How's it going, squad leader? Do you regret not coming to Acai's village?"

The squad leader on the other end of the phone had a distorted expression on his face. He bared his teeth and said angrily, "When did you ever tell me you were going to Acai's house?"

The study committee member next to the monitor was even more aggrieved. "She knew that Lu Yingqi and Xiao Xiaoxian went to Ning Acai's house for the New Year, but unfortunately she thought it was just a village and there was nothing to do there."

Lu Yingqi's eyebrows curved, and he pointed the camera at A Cai, "Let's talk, almost all the people in our class who didn't enter the dungeon are here."

Ah Cai smiled brightly at the camera, waving her hands like a cute lucky cat, and enthusiastically greeted her classmates: "Happy New Year! My dear classmates!"

Her voice is clear and pleasant, like a spring breeze, making people feel extremely kind and warm.

"In this new year, I wish you all good health, academic progress, and happiness every day!"

Acai's smile is as bright as the sun, and her blessings are like a spring breeze, filling the hearts of her classmates with joy and hope.

“May our friendship grow stronger and we spend more wonderful times together!”

Acai's eyes revealed sincerity and kindness. She hoped that her classmates could support each other and grow together in the new year.

"Finally, I wish everyone a happy new year and all the best! Let us welcome the Year of the Rabbit, which is full of challenges and opportunities!"

Acai's words are full of power. She believes that in the new year, all her classmates can realize their dreams and create their own glory.

The squad leader smacked his lips and kept making admiring noises: "Oh my, Ah Cai looks like she's completely fine now! Look at her, she's so adorable! Just like a delicate porcelain doll, you can't help but want to reach out and pinch her rosy little face."

"That's right!" The study committee member nearby nodded in agreement, eyes filled with undisguised envy. "Your village is truly capable, even going so far as to invite such a professional dragon and lion dance troupe to perform in the village. It's so festive! It's so lively and exciting. Just thinking about it makes me wish I could join in!"
