Autumn in Gulongzhong | Hear the Echoes of History

In the gentle autumn breeze, Gulongzhong is as quiet as a poem. The breeze carries the faint scent of chrysanthemums and the fragrance of history. Amidst the verdant mountains, a cottage is hidden in the forest, seemingly the most inconspicuous yet mysterious place in the world. This is the residence of the Crouching Dragon, Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei, a benevolent ruler with great ambitions, accompanied by his generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, walked along the path covered with fallen leaves, entering the depths of this quiet bamboo forest three times. Each time, they were filled with awe and walked with reverence, seeking the legendary wise man to plan the great affairs of the world together. The first time, the door was tightly closed, and only their determined footsteps were left in the autumn wind. The second time, they still did not see him, but their indomitable determination echoed in the bamboo forest, like the whispers of autumn, telling of persistence and longing. Until the third time, at dawn, the door gently opened, and Zhuge Liang finally appeared, his eyes shining with wisdom, as if he could see through everything in the world. At that moment, their eyes met, and without words, they understood each other. Liu Bei's loyalty and perseverance, Zhuge Liang's wisdom and indifference, converged at that moment, like the most brilliant fireworks in autumn, illuminating each other's hearts. From then on, a legendary story flowed slowly in the river of history, telling the tale of "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage," reminding future generations of the gratitude that transcends the mundane and the loyalty and righteousness in the relentless pursuit of ideals.
