Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

The movement of the two attracted the attention of the winners who were still waiting to go on stage backstage. Everyone turned around to look at them, and some of them started discussing in a low voice with their classmates while watching them.

"Who are those two?"

"do not know."

"Oh my god, why are they arguing all of a sudden? Are they fighting?"

……

The staff at the scene also noticed something was wrong and rushed over to them immediately.

After Yu Ru slapped Deng Huairou for the second time, she quickly slapped Deng Huairou for the third time. Deng Huairou was hit so hard that she saw stars and fell to the ground, but she was still unwilling to give in. She supported herself on the ground with one hand and tried to stand up, "You bitch, I think you are asking for a beating."

"You are asking for a beating. I tell you, if you say one more word, we will slap you again." Sister Shan pointed at her and threatened.

Deng Huairou was wearing a formal dress with a train. Seeing that she was trying to stand up, Yu Ru quickly squatted down and pulled her train, used the train of her skirt to trip her, and put one foot on her hip and kicked her hard forward.

"what!"

Deng Huairou let out a scream and her body was forced to turn half a circle.

At this time, the two staff members who were guiding the team in the front came. Sister Shan immediately walked up to them and stopped them. "Wait a minute, ladies, the one who was beaten on the ground started the fight first. She deserves to be beaten. Let her be beaten a few more times."

Faced with Sister Shan's obstruction, the two staff members were very anxious. One of them said, "Madam, these two will be speaking on stage later. They are important members of this competition. If something goes wrong if they continue to fight like this, we will not be responsible."

Yu Ru didn't want to make things difficult for the staff, so after slapping Deng Huairou for the fifth time, she stopped.

Next, to prevent any accidents, two staff members stood beside them to prevent them from clashing. They were asked to stand at the left and right positions, with one staff member watching over them.

Yu Ru sat on a chair in the corner, looking down at her phone, while Deng Huairou stood in her place, staring at her fiercely. Her eyes were really unkind, so Sister Shan rolled her eyes at her to express her dissatisfaction, and stood in front of Yu Ru to completely block her with her body.

Deng Huairou raised her hands, crossed her arms, and rolled her eyes. She turned to look at her shoes and cursed in a low voice: "Bitch."

This ceremony did not allow much speaking time for the award winners, as the time allocated was mainly for the gold, silver and bronze medal winners.

Soon, it was the bronze medal winner's turn.

The bronze medalist is a cute, stylish woman wearing a black business suit and a pair of silver high heels. She is a Han Chinese who is studying in China and can speak Mandarin.

After Park Ya-yeon came to the center of the stage to receive the trophy, she bowed to the audience first, then stood up and spoke in not very fluent and standard Mandarin: "Hello, everyone. I am very happy to stand here and share my work with you. I am also honored to receive this trophy. I am also very happy that this city, Jiangcheng, likes my work. The design inspiration of my work this time comes from the traditional ink painting of Han Country, because I want to make this city look mysterious and classical..."

Every time a new winner came on stage, the huge display screen hanging in the center of the stage would display the winners' design works and the design instructions written by the winners themselves. When Park Yayan appeared, the display screen was replaced with her works, which were a group of pictures with ink painting characteristics, all of which were labeled with the Han country label.

These things are invisible to people behind the stage, but they can hear the sounds. Yu Ru heard everything Park Yayan said clearly, and before she could get over the anger she felt when she saw Deng Huairou, she fell into another kind of anger and loss.

It is her loss, and also the loss of culture.

The creative requirements given in this urban innovation design competition are to combine a certain traditional culture, and then innovate on this basis to find a model and image that is more adapted to the development of the modernization process.

The priority here is China's traditional culture, but because the contestants are not limited by nationality or region, and there are foreigners who participate in order to increase their visibility and receive prize money, the designs can also be about the traditional culture of other countries. As long as you tell the story of your own country well and inject new vitality into Jiangcheng, and have a good design, you may win a prize.

This competition is very valuable, with many well-known brands sponsoring it, and local administrative agencies are also paying attention to it. Therefore, there are many contestants, and it is not easy to stand out among so many people from all over the world.

When the list of winners was announced, Yu Ru took a look at the information of other contestants while confirming her own ranking. She just glanced at it roughly, not very carefully, and happened to see Park Yayan from Han Country.

Design is a very complicated job. If you really want to do it well, you must have a strong knowledge base and a profound cultural heritage. To this end, Yu Ru studied the history of many countries. This did not include Han Country, which she originally wanted to study, but this country was too young and reckless, with little history and no richer connotations, so she could not find anything to learn.

That's why she felt strange that a contestant from Han Country could win the bronze medal. If it was anything else, she could understand and imagine it, but when it came to traditional culture, she couldn't think of it. After her investigation, it turned out to be true. Park Yayan's work was a cultural appropriation, and it didn't tell the story of her country at all, but that of China.

On the road of design, there are always many things that make Yu Ru feel sad. She has glimpsed a little truth about this world, and she feels sad for everything. She could have lived simply and happily, but she knows too much and has too much conscience, so she feels pain.

All cultural relics, historical materials and other cultural ecosystems have a guiding role in the survival of a country and the development of civilization. However, most people treat them as worthless and don't care about them. This kind of contempt is not an isolated case, but a considerable number of people hold the attitude of "whoever promotes it owns it". People are only willing to look at the development of a thing from the perspective they can see, and use their narrow thinking to understand the world, but are unwilling to learn more.

Culture, if viewed from a deeper level, is actually closely related to the survival of a country and is secretly rooted in everyone's life. The exchange of science, culture and art knows no borders, but they themselves do have boundaries. After all, there are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests.

Power and money are displayed at the front end, and ideas and concepts are operated at the back end. The vertical integration of the two can achieve a system of capital monopoly. When capital completely occupies everything, it will be the end of the world, and the civilization of a country and even the world will be subverted. It is not difficult to complete such a system. Just destroy the hub connecting civilization, that is, the cultural ecosystem. Stealing cultural relics will destroy culture, destroying culture will lose heritage, and losing heritage will erase history. When history does not exist, the country will lose civilization. When civilization disappears, the country begins to collapse, and disappears in the dust together with the erased history, without even a trace left.

Therefore, it is so important to protect cultural relics and pass on classic skills, because what we need to protect is not a pile of dead things buried for thousands of years, but the future of the country.
