Leave Xi'an, 107 express send us to Lanzhou, the second leg of our trip, the famous Silk Road, another historic city, just like Qinhuangdao as she is a long narrow city. Lanzhou, north Baita Mountain, south Wuquan Shan, the mother river of Chinese nation is divided into north and south two and a half the city and quietly flowing from her, this time the Yellow River flows through the Loess Plateau have not yet, but it has become a veritable the Yellow River, and turbid yellow waters of raising generation after generation, the sons and daughters, the Yellow River from here northward Shui, the flow in Ningxia, the flow of the Loess Plateau, the flow of Hukou Waterfall. As compared with the Hukou Waterfall, where the Yellow River, Wen Jing seem a lot, river or on behalf of people of Chinese descent orange, but she had not been high loess slope, compared with the Hukou, and she but a lot of purity.

Riverbank Road, green corridor, that is, the construction of Riverside Park along the side of the river, we first came to the Yellow River Bridge No. 1 - Zhongshan Bridge, it is because she is the first one crossing the Yellow River Bridge, which is named after. This bridge is of steel components, unique characteristics, the Department in 1907 in China and Germany by a commercial contractor, the Americans and the Germans over Takaramoto Rohe for technical guidance, the Qing government to spend more than 30 million, two silver base. Was originally called "Yellow River in Lanzhou Iron Bridge." In 1942 to commemorate the founding father Sun Yat-sen was renamed "Zhongshan Bridge." We passed iron bridge across the Yellow River, came to the river's north shore, boarded Baita Mountain, to pay their last respects Buddhism relics left here.

Baita Department to commemorate a Tibetan lama Sakya built, he is an audience with Genghis Khan of Mongolia on the way to go through when the illness passed away in Lanzhou. Baita existing Department of the reconstruction during the period 1450-1456. Baita as Miyan Shi pagoda, seven octahedral, high about 17 meters apart from each face Buddha, but also a variety of instruments used in carving and Buddhist flags. As the tower, pass white-pulp, a distance, like white jade brick structure in general, hence the name White Tower. Shi Ji on the mountain and along the way although not see fine spring day, but getting into the eyes of Lanzhou City King, for which OK elegance.

Backtrack and back, and then back to the south bank of the Yellow River to pay their last respects "The Yellow River Mother statue," This is for Modern, April 30, 1986 carved out. Sculpture by the "mother" embrace "baby" form, in my view, she symbolizes the vast land of China was formerly the ancient matriarchal society, also a symbol of one's own doctrine of Confucius and Mencius, Daxing since the Chinese nation for 2000 years, has been suppressed women and that repentance, with the thought of Western civilization into the mother's position in society again gaining momentum. An air of the natural harmony of the Yellow River Mother statue, sit in on the waves of the Yellow River, carrying young babies, a slight laugh, revealed the mother's infinite vision of the future and hope.

Side in the Yellow River Mother, I am Concerned for a long time, where to start. British state-owned female secretary of state, female prime minister, and even Hong Kong and Taiwan also have female directors, female vice president, overview of the Chinese mainland, shoulder Tiaotai Liang, women rarely gone, as Lin Mao Feng angle. In many parts of southern Fujian coast, women also remains can not be on the table, I went to go home several times, never with my aunt at the same table meals, a small cousin of my hardware will be able to invite and serve, she said: "The Our family is usually the case. " These words, mercilessly hurt my heart, the economically developed coastal cities like this, let alone the inland provinces, this is a culture of desolation. China earth mothers, when an equal footing with men? China on the earth that day comes, when complete, sculptures, statues of the actual content of the Yellow River be considered the mother to be fully reflected.

Huaizhe such a heavy heart, I am down the ladder, went to the Yellow River An Pang, hazy on the floodplain, or a desolate, deserted whether this pace of modern disappeared? I thought: "should be so, as they should be!"
