I, strive for the prosperity of the motherland! 【system】

At the Hunchun port, on our side, the hall is spacious, bright, clean and tidy, and the staff are very efficient.

When we got to the Russian side, it had become a tin shed with very simple facilities, even a bit shabby.

Taking photos is not allowed at the port, so everyone put away their phones.

Some tourists who travel abroad for the first time can only look around curiously.

The staff at the port on the Russian side are indeed very efficient. They check passports, verify information, and stamp documents slowly.

Su Xing and several other girls thought they were quickly transferred to the Russian side at the domestic port, but when they arrived here, they were stuck for quite a long time.

Zhang Caifeng didn't dare to speak or look around, she was extremely nervous.

After waiting for a while, they finally came out of the tin shed and got on the transit bus on the Russian side.

Zhang Caifeng looked out of the car window and saw many Russian soldiers holding guns. She felt tense again after just relaxing a little.

Su Xing was sitting next to Zhang Caifeng. He noticed her strangeness and whispered to comfort her, "The ports will be more strict in checking. Don't be nervous. The car should be leaving soon."

Zhang Caifeng nodded, "Yeah."

She didn't even dare to say "hmm" too loudly.

Many members of Gao Yang's family are in the army. She is not nervous in a place like this. She is even a little excited, looking at the Russian soldiers outside with curiosity.

Pei Shiqi was closing her eyes to rest. She would have to sit in the car for several hours soon, so she had to take a rest.

The destination of their outbound trip is Vladivostok, the largest city in Russia's Far East, but we Chinese prefer to call this city "Vladivostok".

When Chinese people talk about this city, they feel a little complicated because it was once our country's territory.

It was ceded to Russia in 1860 under the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing and was renamed "Vladivostok" by Russia, meaning "Rule of the East".

The Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing was an unequal treaty that Tsarist Russia forced the Qing government to sign during the Second Opium War. The treaty ceded all areas east of the Ussuri River, including Vladivostok, to Russia.

This time they came here, in addition to vacationing, they also wanted to see this former Chinese territory.

The history of humiliation should be remembered, not to perpetuate hatred, but to warn future generations not to forget the lesson that those who lag behind will be beaten, to make the nation stronger through struggle, and to prevent historical tragedies from repeating themselves.

Remembering the pain of the past is to gather the strength to move forward and to turn humiliation into motivation for progress. This is the best way to remember history.

After passing the Hunchun Port, you will not reach Vladivostok immediately. It will take another four or five hours to drive there.

The girls waited on the transit bus for a while and the bus finally started.

Zhang Caifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after the car left the port, there were no people around.

The climate here is obviously similar to that of Yanji and surrounding areas in China, and they are all black soil, but when you look around in China, you can only see neat fields and a scene of a bumper harvest.

On the Russian side, there are wastelands everywhere.

Many domestic tourists in the car sighed.

Especially for older tourists, they really can't bear to see such fertile black soil being wasted.

Several tourists started talking in low voices.

“People here don’t farm…”

"Well, they have a small population, only about 100 million people, but their land area is almost twice as large as ours, so they don't have that many people farming."

"What a pity..."

"I heard that fruits and vegetables are very expensive here. With so much land lying idle, why don't you plant some?"

"There is no other country in the world where people love and are good at farming like us Chinese do."

Zhang Caifeng couldn't help but sigh. Her family was from the countryside and she had done farm work with her family when she was a child. Now, looking at these large tracts of wasteland, she felt it was a pity.

The car continued to move forward, passing some small towns and villages along the way.

Some villages have been deserted and abandoned houses can be seen everywhere.

The windows and doors of some houses have been removed.

The tour guide was sitting not far away from Su Xing, Gao Yang and the other four girls.

"The wooden windows and doors of abandoned houses are often removed and used for fires," he said.

Pei Shiqi asked, "Are you lighting the fireplace?"

Tour guide: "...it's just to make a fire, keep warm and cook."

Pei Shiqi's face rarely showed a look of confusion for a moment.

The bus drove for about two hours and stopped in the town of Slavyanka.

The tour guide said, "This is the supply station. The car will stop here for about half an hour. Everyone, hurry up and go to the bathroom. If you are hungry or thirsty, you can also buy food and drinks, but don't walk too far."

Everyone agreed and lined up to get off the bus.

Su Xing and the other four girls lined up and went to the bathroom first.

The bathroom here was also very simple, and Pei Shiqi came out with a frown on her face.

It is already past five in the evening, and it will take at least two and a half hours to drive to Vladivostok.

Gao Yang said, "Let's buy some food and drinks. It will be seven or eight o'clock when we get there."

Su Xing nodded, "Okay."

Pei Shiqi and Zhang Caifeng naturally had no objections.

The four of them went to the supermarket and bought some bucket noodles, sausages and drinks for a simple meal.

While eating, Zhang Caifeng looked at the local Russian residents curiously.

She whispered, "This is the first time I've seen so many foreigners at once..."

Gao Yang said: "Sister (Boundary), now we are foreigners."

Zhang Caifeng: "Uh...?"

Only then did she realize that they were already abroad.

The tourists nearby couldn't help laughing when they heard their conversation.

After the rest, everyone got in the car and continued their journey.

The car drove for more than two hours and finally arrived in Vladivostok.

Most of the tourists on this bus were traveling in a group and were staying in hotels booked by the tour group.

Pei Shiqi booked a five-star hotel, which is the only five-star hotel in Vladivostok and has the best accommodation and the most complete facilities.

She booked two sea view rooms.

She knew that the price of this hotel was too expensive for Zhang Caifeng, and for Gao Yang, he had to grit his teeth to afford to stay there.

However, since she was the one who organized the trip, she planned to bear this part of the expenses.

The bus arrived at the hotel of Su Xing, Pei Shiqi and others first, and they got off first.

The tour guide helped them take the suitcases out of the luggage compartment.

He told them: "Please be safe these days. If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time. I will call you the day before you return home and tell you the departure time in the morning. I wish you a good time in the next few days."

Pei Shiqi said: "Okay, thank you."

Su Xing and several other girls also thanked the tour guide and said goodbye.

The tour guide got on the bus and it drove away.
