Just today, September 9, 2022, London Bridge fell!
Queen Elizabeth, who once supported the British royal family with her thin body, left.
In fact, many friends have similar doubts. Why is the death of a 96-year-old man reported all over the world? Because in our experience, it seems that the death of a country's leader will cause a great sensation all over the world like Elizabeth II. It can be described in one sentence, that is, those who witness history have become history after all!
First of all, for those British people who are immersed in the afterglow of the empire, Queen Elizabeth is the only bridge connecting the most moderns in Britain. The Queen is not only a 96-year-old man, but also a witness to many important history. She witnessed the Second World War.
She witnessed the air battle between Britain and Germany over London, she experienced the Normandy landing, and she witnessed the demise of fascism!
She was a participant in the cold war. She witnessed the glory and destruction of the Soviet Union. She is also an agent of Britain, from the empire where the sun never sets to today when the earth rotates. Queen Elizabeth is a tunnel in the eyes of English gentlemen.
One end of the tunnel is connected with the present, and the other end is connected with the great and brilliant Victorian era!
Nowadays, more and more British people no longer have reverence for the royal family, especially after his disappointing son Charles married Diana, a century beauty, more and more British people are in favor of abolishing the royal family, and the British royal family is increasingly unable to brush out the sense of existence in Britain.
Resettlement houses have become the only reason for the British to keep the royal family. Queen Elizabeth shouldered the glory of the whole royal family with her thin body.
With the embodiment of charm and wisdom in people's minds, the queen died and was replaced by Prince Charles, who was famous in the street.
The historical event of the Queen's death may well mark the end of the British royal family.
Similarly, for many ordinary people, the queen is not a deity on high, but a person with flesh and blood. In fact, many people know that the Queen is still a fan. Like many British people, the Queen has a special love for football.
1966, the Queen of the World Cup in England visited the stadium to unveil the tournament. Maybe it was inspired by the queen. A blue team called European China won the World Cup only once in history, and British captain Moore also took over the Rimet Gold Cup from the Queen.
The queen doesn't watch the ball like a dragon. She knows the ball and she has her own team.
On February 15, 2007, the Queen invited Wenger and Arsenal to Buckingham Palace. What an honor it is.
This also proves to the world that the Queen of England, like many of us, is a gun fan. Maybe when watching the ball, the queen will curse Tottenham Hotspur.
Fabregas of Arsenal said, "The Queen knows the ball very well. She really knows me." . In 2022, the English women's football team won the European Cup. The queen was overjoyed and wrote down her experience on social media. The lines are full of pride in the British women's football team.
For us in China, the Queen is also a friend of us in China. Considering her age of 96, it is not too much to call her an old friend.
The Queen witnessed the whole process of the new China from weak to powerful now, witnessed China's defeat of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression with millet and rifles, witnessed the China people's victory in the war of liberation under the leadership of the Party, witnessed the newborn China's victory in the powerful American army, witnessed her victory in the royal army in North Korea, witnessed the victory of the new China's foreign war, and witnessed the process of the British aircraft carrier from scratch and the new Chinese aircraft carrier from scratch.
The Queen also visited China and was full of praise for the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. She is also the 1 British head of state to visit China in 5,000 years.
At that time, the chief designer of another century old man who was present gave her a cordial banquet. Elizabeth II brought a letter from Elizabeth I to Emperor Wanli of China, and she also returned the gilded lion that Eight-Nation Alliance had taken away.
It should be said that the death of the Queen is not only the death of a century old man, but also the end of an era. The legend of a portrait from oil painting to digital photo, a movie from silent film to 4k HD is over, and a legend that has experienced, witnessed and participated in countless times has finally become history!
Finally, I hope you don't mock Prince Charles who has been on the bench for 70 years. Perhaps the last thing he wants is to take over, because it means the death of his mother. Similarly, Charles may be happier than many of us, not because he is king of England, but because his mother has been with him for 74 years and his father has been with him for 70 years.
