✨ Under the gleam of the Big Dipper, legends of heroes like Geshu Han echo through the ages. Standing guard in the dead of night, sword in hand, they defended the land we now call home. 🏹
In Lintao County, nestled in northwest China’s Gansu Province, a relic of such legends still stands—a section of the Great Wall built by the State of Qin over 2,000 years ago. 🌄 Though it may now appear as mere earth banks, to the locals, it’s a priceless treasure linking them to their rich heritage.
Yang Xin, a dedicated legislative liaison officer, is on a mission. 🚶♂️ He’s gathering feedback on a draft amendment to the Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics, aiming to give ancient sites like Lintao’s Great Wall the protection they deserve.
Among those eager to share their thoughts is Zhao Qinghua, a passionate Chinese language teacher who grew up in the shadow of the Great Wall. 💬 \"This wall isn't just stones and earth; it's a storybook of our ancestors,\" Zhao expresses with a sparkle in his eye. \"We need to preserve it so future generations can feel the same connection we do.\" 🌟
Zhao suggests involving more young people in preservation efforts. \"Let's organize community events and educational programs! 🎓 If we make heritage protection fun and engaging, more people will join the cause.\" His enthusiasm is infectious, and Yang Xin nods thoughtfully, considering how these ideas could shape the new legislation.
The spirit of guardians like Geshu Han lives on in modern champions like Zhao and Yang. 🛡️ As they work together, there's hope that the ancient walls of Lintao will continue to stand strong for another 2,000 years, whispering tales of courage and unity to all who visit. 🌐
What are your thoughts on preserving our shared heritage? How can we all become guardians of history? 🤔
