Open Traveler: Culture Invasion Parallel Blue Star

Chapter 42 The Land of Broken American Dreams, the Golden Gate Bridge!
Cheng Ping Saburo's brain is running at super high speed.

If you knock an egg on his bald head, it will be cooked in less than 20 seconds.

Mizumido, in every aspect, is not considered to be very good.

But there are really no downsides.

People who don't understand architecture, when they arrive at Mizumido, at most they will sigh that this idea is very good.

After a closer look, I found that there was nothing to see.

But those who understand architecture will feel that it is grandstanding at first glance.

But after a closer look, I have to admire it. It is true that all aspects are combined very well. Although there is no absolute super beauty, there are no shortcomings.

Why do you say it has no bright spots?

For example, when you arrive in Xiangjiang and see the pig cages in the pigeon house, you can think that this is Xiangjiang.

For example, in TV movies, those future cities have a very futuristic feel at first glance.

Such as cyberpunk, such as steampunk.

Architectural style is king.

Without a thoroughly stylized architecture, there is no way to completely shock the human mind.

In the end, Cheng Ping Saburo said without sourness or pain:
"It's like a test paper with answers copied from a textbook, without much human emotion."

Ellent raised an objection: "No, no, no, sacred buildings, religious buildings, what kind of human emotions do you need?"

Lin Xuan didn't let the topic continue but smiled: "Let's go to the second modern landmark building."

"There is also a saying about the American dream in the country of the earth and stars."

Elent came to the spirit: "Can you see the building with the most American dream spirit?"

Lin Xuan shook his head: "Take you to see the holy land where the dream of the United States was broken."

The place where the American dream is broken?
The American dream is a concept put forward by Americans.

Of course, it's nothing more than what the Americans do, everything is here, cooking and so on.

However, in a narrow sense, the American dream refers to the belief that as long as you work hard and unremittingly in the United States, you can get a better life.

That is, people must prosper through their own hard work, courage, creativity, and determination, rather than relying on specific social classes and the assistance of others.

Most of the time, this is a serious daydream.

However, as long as there are many people, there will always be someone who just fits it.

Therefore, this is something that the United States continues to promote, and it is part of its universal value.

The place where the American dream is broken?
This word alone conveys everything to the audience.

Ylennette shook his head: "I also really want to know what the land of broken American dreams looks like."

"Broken, dilapidated? Lifeless?"

Lin Xuan: "Totally the opposite."

"Big and vibrant."

Taking one step forward, the five followed Lin Xuan and arrived at Laojin Mountain in the United States.

"This is the downtown area of ​​Laojinshan, and here is the Golden Gate Bridge."

Smoke rises from the sea.

Amidst the rising mist, a sea-crossing bridge stretched across the sea.

The red support beam is so eye-catching, it can catch everyone's eye at first sight.

Standardized cables with a modern aesthetic.

Elent looked at the bridge: "This bridge, in this scene, is so beautiful."

The beauty of architecture.

The beauty of the scenery.

A perfect combination of the two.

"How can such a dreamy place be the land of broken dreams in the country of America?"

Lin Xuan didn't answer, but looked at the bridge.

Because the crossing time chosen by Lin Xuan is 1 minute before the first jumper from the Golden Gate Bridge jumps into the sea.

It was also when the Golden Gate Bridge was just three months old.

On the bridge, a middle-aged man stood on the edge of the bridge, and then climbed up the fence.

At the scene, everyone was staring at that person.

In the clouds and mist, the middle-aged man who stepped on the tightrope jumped down like a free bird.

"He was the first person to jump into the sea at the Golden Gate Bridge."

"An American veteran from World War I."

"The United States promised him that only one war will save his children from the war, the world will be stable, and his life will be prosperous."

Everyone was still thinking about the figure with the arms outstretched.

His clothes were shabby, his hair was disheveled, and his beard hid his face.

Ellent was silent for a moment and said, "His life is not good?"

Lin Xuan: "The time when he jumped off the bridge was the eve of the outbreak of World War II, and it was also the time when Earth Star Cherry Blossom Kingdom officially invaded Dragon Kingdom."

"The United States provides a large amount of war supplies to the Sakura Country!"

"The United States has clearly failed this veteran."

"Americans always like to say that a famous general once said: Veterans don't die, they just wither."

"Then he personally crushed a parade of World War I veterans demanding grants, killing and injuring hundreds."

"This veteran, lives in despair, lives in the deception of the United States."

Veterans don't die, but the general didn't do anything, which is the status quo in the United States.

The old soldier died, jumped to his death from the bridge, fell into the sea, and the waves on the bridge looked like an inconspicuous white flower.

Time flows, time flies, and the sun and the moon alternate.

The scenery in front of the Golden Gate Bridge changes in crazy years.

In the gap, Lin Xuan said: "This Golden Gate Bridge, on one side is Laojinshan City, and on the other side is Jinshan."

"Gold diggers dream of the American dream and come here to pan for gold."

"For nearly 200 years, people have been panning for gold here and walked this road."

"When they walked this road, the No.2 sea jumper was beside them."

A young father, holding a baby girl, walks on the bridge.

Without warning, the baby girl was thrown, and then the man leaped into the sea, so decisively.

Lin Xuan turned to look at the stunned Chengping Saburo: "Does this building lack human emotion?"

"This is the most famous landmark in the United States. It has appeared in American Hollywood movies hundreds of times. Its destruction in the movie represents the broken civilization that Americans think."

"It is not the longest bridge in the country, but it is the most representative building in the country."

Six people, leading the audience, look out on the bridge from here.

Time is still passing, a long-span forward.

The third, the fourth...

3 twenty, 8 ten...

The 460th, the 99th...

The two thousandth jumper!
There are old people, young people, children, and middle-aged people.

They've got women, they've got men, they've got trans people, they've got people of the opposite sex.

They have teachers, soldiers, policemen, hooligans, robbers, clerks, and firefighters.

Some of them had been wandering the streets all day before, as if they had lost their souls.

Some of them came from the far north with expressionless faces.

Some of them are in great pain, and nothing in this world can stop this will to die.

Before any of them came here, the mind was dead, the walking dead.

They are all people who have been abandoned by the American dream. They are the two thousand people who are the most desperate and have the most sense of ritual among the hundreds of millions of people whose American dream has been shattered.

If you see a thousand mice jumping in line from here, people will look numb.

But two thousand people jumped here one by one, and no one could avoid the confusion of thoughts and twitching of the heart.

All kinds of people, fundamentally different, not simple numbers at all.

Some people cried bitterly, while others suddenly crossed the barrier between life and death while laughing loudly.

Some people trembled, while others jumped down resolutely.

Someone waved his clothes in the wind, threw them on the ground, and jumped.

Someone calmly arranged the overcoats, neatly stacking them on the ground, preserving the last decency.

Someone held a pistol and pointed it at the throat. In the end, he didn't have the courage to face the blood dripping, and finally rushed to the blue sea roaring madly.

Someone wrote the last words in his life in a notebook by the bridge, and then fell.

Cars come and go.

No one cares about them.

Only the newspaper media excitedly published the news "The XXX person who fell from the bridge! "

People on the road are still chasing the American dream that they don't know where.

The sea under the road has been flowing regularly since ancient times.

Lin Xuan said: "In 37, the Golden Gate Bridge opened to traffic."

"This represents the greatest bridge-building technology of 80 years ago."

"Here, the Golden Gate Bridge represents the dream road leading to Jinshan, connecting the two sides of poverty and American-style riches."

"But the life in the American country tells them, sorry, daydreams have your part, but the American dream does not."

"This building has such architectural beauty and natural beauty, but it is not famous because of how beautifully it is built, how strong it is, and it breaks any record of architectural miracles."

"The people who jumped off the bridge gave the Golden Gate Bridge warmth."

"Cold to the bone, freezing the temperature of the soul."

"It is the only building in the world of Earth and Star that is world-renowned as a holy place for suicide, and it is the place where the painful American dream was shattered."

[Grass, why did he show us this kind of building, deliberately slandering the American country and the American dream? 】

【What people are willing to show is what they want, can you control it? 】

[I see you as half a million walking. 】

On the barrage, a small number of people who had been punctured by the American dream jumped up to refute.

It's a pity that this is just a history incidental to the architectural theme, and no one really pays attention to their beauty-licking behavior.

The master architect from the United States, Ilund: "The architecture of 80 years ago, with its structure, function, and artistry, I give it 95 points."

"Sorry, let's leave this place quickly, I feel like hell here, only deep despair, no interest in enjoying the scenery at all."
