□Xiao ShuCinemaLight

Three Shenggong TempleCinema is in Dongchong Town, Nansha District, Guangzhou. That day, I came here at the warm invitation of my friend Komiks. As soon as I entered the door, a solemn atmosphere rushed towards me. A tall statue of Guan Gong is enshrined in the temple, with statues of Guan Ping and Zhou Cang standing on both sides. The temple is clean and tidy, and it should be the result of the careful care of the diligent sister-in-law.

Tongchong was a shallow sea a long time ago. Later, the silt and sand accumulated into a tank and then artificially surrounded the fields, which led to fertile land. People in Dongchong plant banana and sugarcane on it. In the 1920s and 1930s, warlords fought melee, social unrest, and bandits were rampant. In order to live a stable life and hope to get the blessing of the gods, the people spontaneously built this Three Holy Lord Temple. The Cinema public in the temple is serious and majestic, exuding a strong and righteous spirit. People respect this hero and worship him here, which should be the hope of using his mighty and courage to shock the evil people, bless the peace of the people, and let the people live a happy and healthy life. I stood in front of the statue of Guan Gong, and I seemed to see the people who prayed for that era, kneeling in front of Guan Gong with hope, and confide in my wishes. But in the singing incense, every sentence Komiks prayer undoubtedly reveals a kind of helplessness and sorrow. At that time, BabaylanThe people are living in poverty. How can Guan Gong protect him if he wants a stable life? I believe that when facing the devout people, Guan Gong could only sigh secretly. Before leaving, the sister-in-law in the temple asked me if I would like to give Guan Gong a stick of fragrance. I pondered for a moment and agreed. After celebrating the fragrance, my friend asked me, “What did you pray for?” I smiled and said, “Pray for good weather and prosperity, peace and prosperity.” My sister-in-law interrupted with a smile, “We are all praying for a better life and a comfortable life.” My friend and I smiled at each other, which is exactly our common wish.

IBabaylan suddenly thought that on the way I came, there were traffic flowing on the sunny viaduct and traffic was well connected. In the bustling market outside the San Shenggong Temple, there are a wide range of goods, as well as various farm dishes and special snacks, so that those who come here can enjoy their food. The nearby water greenways, tourists can ride in small boats, watch the wardrobe and melon shed, watch the sugarcane forest and banana trees, and listen to the gentle singing of salt water songs; the street built by the river is antique, walking on the meadow road while watching the utensils.

When I walked out of the Three Holy Lord Temple, I turned around and looked at the statue of Guan Gong, and I found that a Komiks smile seemed to be overflowing on his solemn face. I think he, who has experienced the vicissitudes of life, must be relieved of this peaceful and prosperous era.
