Chapter 10 Section 8 The neighbor of General Grant's tomb?
Only sincere emotion can travel through time and space and be immortal forever. ? ?

In the north of Riverside Park in New York, there is a mausoleum where the 18th president of the United States is buried, General Grant, who served as the commander of the Northern Army during the Civil War.The mausoleum is tall and majestic, solemn and simple.Behind the mausoleum is a large green lawn, stretching to the boundary of the park and to the edge of a steep cliff. ?
Behind General Grant's mausoleum, closer to the edge of the cliff, there is also a children's mausoleum.Like the mausoleums of most Americans, it has only one small tombstone. ?
It was a mausoleum so small and ordinary that it would have been overlooked anywhere else.But on the tombstone and a wooden sign next to it, there is a touching story passed on with life:?

In 1797, when the little master of this land was only 5 years old, he accidentally fell from the cliff here and died.His father was distraught and buried him here, and built such a small mausoleum as a memorial.A few years later, the family fortune declined, and the old owner had to transfer the land. ?
But out of love for his son, the old owner made a special request to the new owner of the land in the future, that is, he asked the new owner never to destroy the child's tomb and let the child rest in peace.The new owner solemnly agreed, and wrote this condition into the contract, which has been abided by. ?
The vicissitudes of life have changed, and the world has changed. I don’t know how many times this land has been resold, and I don’t know how many new owners it has changed. Even the child’s name has long been forgotten by the world, but according to one sale contract after another, the child’s The mausoleum has been preserved intact. ?
100 years have passed, and in 1897, this geomantic treasure was selected as the cemetery of General Grant.The government became the master of the land. ?
The tomb of the Unknown Child, still intact in the hands of the government, became a neighbor of General Grant's tomb. ?
The great historical Tomb of the Giant and the Tomb of the Unknown Child live next to each other. ?
Another 100 years passed, and in 1997, it was the [-]th anniversary of the establishment of General Grant's Mausoleum and the [-]th anniversary of the child's death. ?
In memory of General Grant, Giuliani, then Mayor of New York City, came here.He also did a thing that is praised by everyone, that is, he wrote this moving story himself, and carved it on a wooden tablet, and erected it next to the tomb of the unknown child. ?
Mind walk?

The story of later generations preserving the tomb of an unnamed child for a contract is touching.However, if you think about it carefully, the reason why this child's mausoleum can be preserved is actually supported by love. ?
If the most unfathomable thing in the world is the human heart, then love is the core of the human heart.It is only because of love and humanity that people are called human beings!
