In the old movie Yuanmingyuan, people have a good impression of Yuanmingyuan. In fact, although only broken walls is left in Yuanmingyuan, it is not difficult to imagine its beauty from the exquisite carvings on it. Although it is a sad and regrettable thing that Yuanmingyuan was burned down, there has always been a great controversy about whether Yuanmingyuan should be restored, and this topic has gradually been pushed to the forefront with the attention of more and more people. It was also when people discussed the topic of restoring Yuanmingyuan that a rich man named Xu Wenrong proposed to spend huge sums of money to rebuild Yuanmingyuan.
The name Xu Wenrong may not be familiar to everyone, but when it comes to Hengdian, everyone will have an impression. Because many movies and TV series are shot in Hengdian, Hengdian has become the shooting base, and Xu Wenrong is the director of Hengdian, and his financial resources can be imagined. Xu Wenrong's road to entrepreneurship is not smooth sailing. When I was a child, the family conditions were very difficult and I suffered a lot. I have been struggling on my own. Many things have happened, and middle-aged Xu Wenrong has finally achieved great success.
The original Hengdian was not used for filming, but suitable for the growth of silkworms. Xu Wenrong realized this, so he led the villagers to get rich together, vigorously developed sericulture, and established a factory specializing in silkworm production. The result is far better than Xu Wenrong's expectation. In the first year alone, Xu Wenrong earned his capital back and earned tens of thousands more. And in the next two years, business got better and better, and in the third year, it earned more than 300 thousand. In this way, Xu Wenrong's road to entrepreneurship began to take shape.
Xu Wenrong, who made a little money, immediately started to develop other industries, feeling a little like a duck to water. Xu Wenrong has established many factories, such as textile mills, knitting mills and wood carving factories. There are almost a dozen piecemeal factories. In this way, the initiative of most industries in Hengdian is in the hands of Xu Wenrong.
With the development of Hengdian, in 20 14 years, Hengdian Scenic Area received more than120,000 visitors, only a little less than the Forbidden City at that time. In 2004, a film crew suggested that Xu Wenrong build a shooting base for Yuanmingyuan. At that time, Xu Wenrong actually had the idea of rebuilding Yuanmingyuan. As he grew older, he suffered a lot when he was young. Now he is finally rich and wants to leave something for his younger generation. Since he has extra funds, he might as well rebuild the Yuanmingyuan and leave a rich spiritual wealth to future generations.
After careful consideration, in 2006, Xu Wenrong made up his mind to rebuild Yuanmingyuan in Hengdian. Once this decision was made public, it received attention and discussion from all walks of life. Some people say that it is a good thing to see the grandeur of Yuanmingyuan again, but more people think that the historical significance of Yuanmingyuan itself is special and should not be restored. In addition, many professionals and experts who study history have also raised objections to the reconstruction of Yuanmingyuan.
At that time, Xu Wenrong was scolded a lot during its industrial transformation, but now the reconstruction of Yuanmingyuan has pushed Xu Wenrong to the forefront. In fact, besides the historical significance of Yuanmingyuan itself, Xu Wenrong's own financial resources are also a big problem. Although Xu Wenrong is the director of Hengdian, Yuanmingyuan is, after all, an extremely luxurious royal garden built by the Qing royal family for several years, and its exquisiteness is definitely beyond the reach of modern technology. Even if it can be copied, the money spent is certainly not so simple to afford. Although there is a great opposition in the society, it has not stopped Xu Wenrong's determination to rebuild Yuanmingyuan one by one. So it cost 30 billion people to start building in Hengdian, covering a total area of about 6,000 mu. I have to admit that this reconstruction is undoubtedly a big project, with as many as 126 construction drawings.
The reconstruction of Yuanmingyuan has been going on for seven years. It can be said that the rebuilt Yuanmingyuan was built with doubts and abuse. After all, people are still full of infinite curiosity about this reconstructed big garden with more than 100 gardens. After the completion, although Xu Wenrong did not own shares, by 20 16, the total income of the new Yuanmingyuan reached 63 1 100 million, and the consumption level of China was still surprisingly high.
With an investment of 30 billion yuan, Xu Wenrong earned 63 1 billion. This wave of operation has left spiritual culture and rich funds for future generations. Although it was unpopular at first, Xu Wenrong finally won. But in fact, even if the newly-built Yuanmingyuan fails to achieve good results in the end, Xu Wenrong will not regret it. Rebuilding Yuanmingyuan may be a great wish of Xu Wenrong. Since his wish can be realized through his own efforts, there is naturally nothing special in his heart.
So up to now, what happened to the rebuilt Yuanmingyuan? In addition to some imitated buildings, many modern buildings have been added, and the humanization has been greatly improved. There are not a few tourists visiting here every year. In this way, the final result of the once controversial reconstruction of Yuanmingyuan has also achieved a relatively satisfactory outcome. The reputation of this rebuilt Yuanmingyuan today can have today's achievements, which is actually not bad.
Although the reconstructed Yuanmingyuan can't perfectly restore the exquisiteness of the old Yuanmingyuan, it can at least let the world have a deeper understanding of Yuanmingyuan. The newly-built Yuanmingyuan is now open to all tourists, with countless entertainment facilities. It is more appropriate to position the newly-built Yuanmingyuan as a large-scale entertainment facility.
Perhaps the original intention of rebuilding Yuanmingyuan in Xu Wenrong is to commemorate it, so the entertainment nature accounts for a relatively large proportion. But entertainment belongs to entertainment, and we also need to take history seriously. That tragic history can't be forgotten. In modern China, the backwardness of the feudal system and the long-term closed-door policy led to various irreparable situations, and the efforts and courage of our predecessors won us a better life today. It also caused a lot of regrets.
The fall of Yuanmingyuan certainly makes us feel sorry, but its historical significance and traces are indelible. We are lucky to live in an era of peace and prosperity, and we are lucky not to have experienced foreign aggression. But being prepared for danger in times of peace and immediate stability does not mean that life in the future will be the same as it is now. This epidemic is a war without smoke. No one knows what will happen in the future. It is the unknown future that forces us to keep working hard.
People are running all their lives. If you stop, you lose. From individuals to countries, no one has the right to rest. No one wants the example of Yuanmingyuan to be staged again. What we can do today is to live a good life and work hard. One person's strength is small, but China has always been a united family. If we unite the strength of many people, we will create even greater miracles.
