大武汉一日｜武汉又一面墙成热门！好多人赶去拍照

 

　这面墙里藏着许多人的记忆

市民游客在《汉口里码头》墙画前拍照。

　　最近，你可能在网上刷到了武汉一个很火的墙，老汉口码头、戏台子、早点摊等10多个的老汉口日常生活场景，在这面长达25米的墙上生动还原，栩栩如生。这就是汉口里码头牌坊前的巨型墙画，它勾起了许多武汉人的回忆，引得许多市民游客纷纷赶来拍照。

　　“太像了！”“感觉跟我小时候见到的一模一样！”每当看到网友的这些评论，我的内心既欣喜又自豪，因为我正是这个创作团队“超级画咖”中的一员。

　　市民游客在《汉口里码头》墙画前拍照。

　　我是湖北孝感人，10多年前来到武汉上大学后，便留在这座城市，成为了一名新武汉人。2017年开始，因为一些机缘巧合我开始接触壁画，又了解到城市文化景观大壁画，于是开始了在这座城市的创作。武汉街头巷尾、热门景点、企业园区等地方，都留下了我的画作：吉庆街百年老店系列壁画《立中堂》和《汪玉霞》、东湖绿道的《鲤遇东湖》、武汉动物园的熊猫馆……粗略算下来，我在武汉创作的壁画有300余幅了。

 

　其实每一次创作壁画，都是一次深入了解武汉的机会。这次《汉口里码头》墙画，为了最大程度地还原老汉口的历史场景，我们就跟着新加坡艺术家叶耀宗老师，一起查阅了许多武汉的老照片，还请来了研究武汉历史小有名气的博主“擂拱子的老特”。他们从地点位置、时间断代，以及老行当、店铺幌子等细节，给出了不少参考意见。

　　比如戏台，刚开始我们画的是在一个空旷的地方，但“擂拱子的老特”觉得这个戏台一般不单独存在，而是在一个特定的场景里，所以后来我们就将它设计在一个茶馆里，不少人边喝茶边听戏，这样浓浓的生活气息就具象化了。

　游客仿佛也融入画中，在茶馆与大家一起听戏。

　　当然，《汉口里码头》吸引这么多游客来拍照，还有一个原因就是场景的巧妙融合，走上阶梯，在墙画旁拍照，犹如融进了画中，人画一体，虚实难辨。其实，在这方面，我们也花了很多心思，运用了“透视”的感觉去作画，在下笔之前，我们就将自己也设计进这幅画中，和那些场景融为一体，我们甚至会自己拉个板凳，摆个造型，感受一下，然后再去动笔。这样反复调整，才使得大家拍照时有了“人在画中”的感觉。

　　未来，我们还会为这座城市带来了更多的精彩作品，敬请期待！如果大家还没有见过这面最新的墙，欢迎前往，它就位于武汉市硚口区园博园汉口里牌坊前（地铁7号线园博园站B2口，出站即到），无需门票哦。

This one will cost more but I think it will be a game changer. Unmanned cargo drones. The cargo pilots are going to be out of job soon.

I find this quite hard to believe is not staged. Because drone regulations are, understandably, very tough in PRC, for security reasons. Recalled that someone staying in PRC last time told me he had to drive 2 hours out of the city in order to get to an area where flying was permitted.

For drone delivery, it is a separate arrangement from hobbyists

CNN says its XI having a kinda witch hunt among his own hand picked folks.

But chinese media commentators been saying for a while its due to internal politics, not initiated BY Xi. Instead, its initiated AGAINST Xi by others in the system 🤔.

Yet holding the exact same words on a piece of plain white paper would most likely get anyone into serious trouble.

Stalin undertook such an exercise and purged a large portion of the professional military leadership and the Soviet military was reeling from the loss of leadership when Germany launched Operation Barbarossa. It took some time for the Soviets to regain their footing before pushing the Germans back. With no invaders on Chinese territory, perhaps Xi feels the risk of losing any military competence through purges is outweighed by the danger of an uprising of his generals.

Russia lost experienced generals with war experience.

China and Singapore is the same. 

Paper generals, and PLA is worse with fat cats guarding their turf of private businesses due to underfunding in the 80s and 90s

Not Xi per se... but interesting look at the fall of Yaoming.

How can one man fight an entire culture and system of doing things🤔
