Staff tourism of PSI-CN in 2014

Author: Mark Ma
It was too hot in June because of the summer sun. However, PSI-CN staff paid a visit to Zhuhai City for two days on June 14th. It was an exciting day for all of us!
Early in the morning, everyone dressed beautifully and took something good to eat and play. We talked to each other happily in the company atrium. Before the travel bus arrived we had been too eager and we thought the bus was too late to come. Then we got on the bus and started our travel. The young lady in the front of the bus was our guide this time. She was very humorous and nice. She told us something important and introduced the schedule. This beautiful girl sang a famous song called Tibetan Plateau, and her wonderful performance led to burst of applause from us. Because of the music, we remembered Yanli who was good at it. So it was her turn. Then, people took turns singing all kinds of songs till we reached the first stop at Sun YatSen's Former Residence.
Dr. Sun YatSen was the forerunner of Chinese modern democratic revolution. This place let us recognize how environment around his was living. We were holding awe and veneration in mind when walking over the home of Dr. Sun YatSen. The home has recreated the life of Dr. Sun and his family members’. The living conditions are vastly different from nowadays in our country, many of them live under deprived conditions which we cannot imagine. But it showed us a dare to refute the old social system. He refused to give up the revolution, as he personally planted the tree in the yard. Although the tree has undergone the rain and is scarred, it still stands to declare their existence.
The scheduled time came. We held the deep memories to the great man in mind, and reached the next place and quickly finished the Chinese food. In the afternoon, we went to the next stop---the Lost City in Zhuhai. Different from the morning activities, the Lost City made us enjoy playing, and feel fully relaxed. There were exciting water sports, cabaret, and clowns. Beach chairs are provided for the tired people to sit on and have a good rest. We had a pleasant afternoon. Finally, we went back to the hotel.
We appreciated the activity in the first day. The next day everyone got up earlier and went downstairs for breakfast. Then we left the hotel in advance, and began the journey of the second day. It rained a bit, but for the climbers, rainy days provide another lasting appeal. When we arrived to Shijingshan Park, we took the cable car until we got to the top of the mountain. Standing on the observation deck at the top of the mountain, we could oversee the whole panorama of Zhuhai . The rainy days gave us a slightly hazy scene. We really felt it seemed to be a fairyland. No wonder the older people also like to climb to the top of the mountain and enjoy the beautiful sight. When we walked down the mountain, we stepped on the fallen leaves, and listened to the singing of cicadas. It was very comfortable. After then we went to see the Zhuhai fisher girl. We wandered on the sweetheart road, and watched the fisher girl. I couldn't help thinking of the aesthetic story of the fisher girl. The most attractive part was the little fish in the shallow stalls. They swam freely, and might be touched when we stretch hands.
The last station was Yuanming New Garden in Zhuhai. We took a picture, to record the style of royal scenery. Our pace became faster and walked into the Garden. We closely admired the layout of the imperial palace, the description of the characters, weapons and the introduction of system. All of these came in our sight and were on our mind. The most beautiful thing was that we walked along a lake. There was a big dragon boat on the lake. The boat would soon started the opera for the ‘emperor's trip’ on the lake, in order to catch up with the opera perform, we drove a small yacht, following after the dragon boat. The lake was reverberated with cheers and laughter.
How time flies! The appoint time for us to get together approached, so we had to leave the palace unwillingly. Although this journey finished, our happiness continued.
