Chapter 1104: Worldwide Joy (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

What was the biggest event at the end of 1957?
It was the first time that humans entered space. Although there is some controversy, it is a major event in human history anyway.

On November 11, two days after Soviet astronaut Gagarin's first space flight, a grand rally was held on Moscow's Red Square to welcome the arrival of this space hero - in the eyes of the Soviets, he was the real space hero.

The red carpet was rolled out on Moscow's Red Square to welcome the heroic astronaut.

By this time, he had been promoted to the rank of major - at Khrushchev's personal request, as he told the Air Force Commander - One day, all of them will be forgotten, but humanity will always remember Gagarin!

Gagarin is a Soviet hero!
Amid the cheers of hundreds of thousands of people, Gagarin walked alone on the red carpet. This moment belonged to him personally. He walked forward to the sound of military music, while Khrushchev and his comrades stood at the other end. When he saw Gagarin, Khrushchev hugged him and said.

"Comrade Gagarin, you are a hero for the whole world!"

Then Khrushchev took him to the reviewing stand on Red Square. Under the gaze and cheers of the people, Gagarin stood in the center, and even Khrushchev was willing to be a supporting role.

"We want to see you, Gagarin!"

The Soviet people shouted enthusiastically.

When Gagarin waved to the people, this moment was his highlight, and also belonged to the Soviet Union.

Although Gagarin was a little late at this time, it was because of weather reasons. If it were not for the weather reasons, perhaps the Soviet Union would have launched earlier.

Of course, Nanyang is also affected by weather conditions.

But... there are no buts!

Wang Baoxian entered the space in front of hundreds of millions of people. Everyone understood that Nanyang won in technology. After completing the first space flight, Wang Baoxian became a world celebrity, and the international media was full of his photos. Of course, Gagarin was also mentioned. In newspapers and news in many countries, the two were listed side by side.

On the morning of November 11, Wang Baoxian left Wanhujiao in a special car and drove into Chang'an along the highway under the escort of a motorcade. Along the way, large photos of him could be seen everywhere on both sides of the road. For Nanyang, Wang Baoxian was a true hero.

All the way from Wanhujiao to Chang'an, cameramen broadcast live along the way. Hundreds of thousands of people held his photos, stood on both sides of the highway, and shouted his name loudly. Countless welcome banners welcomed his return.

When the car drove out of the highway and was about to enter Chang'an, Wang Baoxian changed to an open-air double-decker bus as planned, and then entered the city. Both sides of Zhuque Road were already full of people. People stood on the roadside, even on the trees, and even on the street lights.

In fact, the carnival had already begun three days ago when Wang Baoxian was still flying in space. After he successfully entered space, the whole country of Nanyang had already entered a carnival state. People went out of their homes and students went out of school. On this day, Nanyang people put aside their studies and work. Everyone was celebrating. Strangers hugged each other, cars honked wildly, and people cheered and sang and danced to celebrate. The huge Nanyang flag covered people's heads and the crowd shouted.

"Nanyang! Nanyang! Nanyang!"

From the aerial footage, we can see that the streets of Chang'an were crowded with people and the scene was spectacular. According to statistics from relevant departments, there were approximately 400 million people partying on the streets and public transportation in Chang'an city had been paralyzed.

The same is true today. In order to welcome Wang Baoxian's arrival, the government announced a one-day holiday. Millions of people from all over the country rushed to Chang'an to welcome their hero.

Although it rained in the early morning, the Nanyang people were still enthusiastic. When they learned that the motorcade was about to enter Chang'an, they cheered on the spot, and many of them waved the Nanyang flag in their hands.

"I'm coming……"

When the convoy drove in, although there were police motorcycles clearing the way in front of the convoy, it was still blocked. If it weren't for Wang Baoxian standing on the double-decker bus, people might even jump on the cars. He stood on the bus and waved to the welcoming people during the parade.

The emotions of the whole country exploded in an instant on this day.

People waved the national flag in their hands, their faces filled with indescribable joy and pride. Every look and every wave revealed their endless love and support for the country.

"Nanyang! Nanyang!"

Deafening cheers rose and fell, as if to shake the whole city. Everyone was singing or dancing, expressing their excitement and joy in various ways. Children were running around in the crowd, their laughter and cheers intertwined, adding more vitality and warmth to the carnival.

On the streets, vehicles stopped one after another, and drivers got out of their cars to join in the grand celebration. They honked their horns, waved national flags, and shared this hard-won victory with pedestrians. The entire city seemed to have turned into a sea of ​​joy, with unprecedented joy and pride in every corner.

Millions of people blocked the entire city center.

In this way, the motorcade passed through the city little by little amid the warm welcome of the people - all the way to the new official residence at the northwest end of the future - "Daming Palace". Here, Li Yian, accompanied by his wife and children, personally welcomed the space hero from Nanyang.

Wang Baoxian, who was wearing a military uniform, was extremely excited when he got off the car. When he saw Your Excellency waiting for him, he strode on the red carpet. When he was one meter away from Your Excellency, he stood at attention and saluted.

"Your Mightiness."

"Welcome home, our space hero!" Li Yian stepped forward and extended his hand to him. The TV screen clearly recorded this scene. The previous few hours belonged entirely to him. All the glory belonged to him, and of course also to Nanyang and all Nanyang people.

Listening to the wave-like shouts of “Nanyang! Nanyang!” coming from outside the “Daming Palace”, Li Yian knew that he had succeeded!
The Nanyang people finally truly integrated into this land.

……

"…The whole city seemed to have turned into a sea of ​​joy, and every corner was filled with unprecedented joy and pride. People shouted Nanyang and Wang Baoxian's name. He is our hero, everyone's space hero!"

Although the sound on TV didn't sound very exciting, one could still feel the host's heartfelt joy.

Most of the people standing in front of the TV were watching the TV with joy. Even in the faraway island, when the people in the military dependents' village watched the news on TV, they also had joy on their faces. An officer who spoke with a northern accent said with some pride.

"Do you know? Wang Baoxian's ancestral home is in Anhui Province, and I am from the same hometown..."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone spoke up.

"Look how proud you are. I've been saying for three days that silkworms have grown in everyone's ears."

"We are really from the same hometown. His hometown is..."

Just at this moment, someone suddenly shouted.

"Doctor Lin, you're back."

Others also came to greet them. The most popular person in the military village was the military doctor. After all, no one could do without the military doctor. If someone in a family was sick, they would go to the doctor's house to take care of him.

"Just got back from the hospital,"

Lin Weiliang walked to the TV, looked at the picture on TV, and said.

"Is it the news that Wang Baoxian has been sent to Chang'an?"

"Yes, yes, Doctor Lin, you said Nanyang is really amazing. Not only did they make atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs, they also launched spacecraft into space. That's really amazing."

The others nodded their heads, their words full of envy. They were all the same people, so why was there such a big difference? They were driven to the small broken island like rabbits.

But what about Nanyang?

It took them only eleven years to develop into the third most powerful country after the United States and Russia. For them, who could only rely on the United States to survive, looking at Southeast Asia was like reading a book written in heaven.

We are all human beings, but the gap between us is too big.

"Yes, Nanyang is indeed very remarkable. In fact, this is what we Tang people are like. As long as there is no war and as long as there is peace, we Tang people can create achievements that will amaze the whole world!"

As soon as Lin Weiliang finished speaking, someone spoke from the side.

"Damn it, since the Xinhai Revolution, we didn't fight any wars that year, but kept fighting. Before we finished fighting our own people, we fought the Japs. After we finished fighting the Japs, we fought our own people again. Now it has come to this..."

Before the man finished complaining, someone signaled him not to talk nonsense so as not to cause trouble. The atmosphere in front of the store suddenly became a little depressing, and Lin Weiliang sighed and said goodbye to everyone. As soon as he returned home, he heard his daughter's baby voice calling.

"dad,"

Then a little person ran over and threw himself into his arms. Holding his daughter, Lin Weiliang, who originally had a heavy expression on his face, immediately smiled and said.

"Qingxia, what did the teacher teach in kindergarten today?"

Blinking her big eyes, Brigitte Lin let her father hold her and said:
"Dad, let me sing it for you. In every street and alley, the first words everyone says when they meet is congratulations..."

The girl's tender and beautiful voice echoed in the small room. Listening to his daughter's singing, Lin Weiliang also hummed along. In recent days, this song has become popular again. It is said that this is the song that Wang Baoxian hummed when he was in space on the spacecraft.

"Congratulations, congratulations to you, congratulations, congratulations to you, winter is coming to an end, what good news..."
