    In the next two days, King Simba stole the show. Qin Shiou estimated that he had become the pride of the lynx clan. The fox pretends to be a tiger, and the cat pretends to be a bear. Whenever a bear travels, it will lie on its shoulders or back.  Majestic.

    Unfortunately, Big Bear is too lazy. Apart from playing with tigers, leopards, wolves, and pineapples, he only runs when Qin Shiou and Wei Ni take him to lose weight and exercise. At other times, he will find a place to hide and sleep.

    Qin Shiou didn¡¯t understand, where did this bear get so much sleep?  He used to think that bears were just lazy and would sleep when they had nothing to do.

    But after searching for information on the Internet, he found that Kodiak brown bears are relatively diligent because they have large appetites and need to constantly move around in search of food, otherwise they will starve.

    Therefore, Kodiak brown bears are relatively muscular and very powerful in combat. They are almost invincible in the mountains and forests of North America, such as mountain lions, gray wolves, wild boars, and cheetahs. If you see them, they will only run away.  share.

    At the end of March, the Amsterdam Seafood Expo was about to be held. Butler had already obtained the qualification to participate in the exhibition and asked Qin Shiou to take Wei Ni and the children to the Netherlands.

    Wei Ni shook her head and said that she was not going and that she would just let Qin Shiou go and take a look. She wanted to take care of the child at home. After all, Melon was too small to fly.

    In this way, Qin Shiou had no choice but to travel with two full-time bodyguards, Bird and Nelson, and there was a direct flight from St. John's to Amsterdam, so traveling was actually very convenient.

    Amsterdam is the largest city in the Netherlands, located in the North Holland province of the Netherlands. Its name comes from amstel-dam, a dam located on the Amstel River, which is now the site of Dam Square.

    Before the late 12th century, Amsterdam was just a small fishing village. Later, due to the development of trade, the city became an important port in the world during the Dutch Golden Age.  In that era, Amsterdam was a center of finance and diamonds.

    Now its status is also very important. It is the fourth largest airport in Europe after London, Paris and Frankfurt.

    The plane landed at the airport. As soon as Qin Shiou walked out with his luggage bag, a taxi stopped in front of him. The driver stuck his head out and asked in proficient English: "Hi, friend, where are you going?"

    Qin Shiou reported the name of a hotel, which was the address Butler gave him, saying that he had arranged an itinerary for him.

    When he heard the name of the hotel "Tulip Blossom", the middle-aged driver laughed and said, "I think you must be Chinese, right?"

    Qin Shiou asked: "Does my accent sound Chinese?"

    The middle-aged driver shook his head and said with a smile: "No, most of the tourists from the East who like to stay at the Tulip Hotel are Chinese. Jack Chen, Kung Fu Dragon, once filmed a movie there. The movie is called "  "Who am I?" You should know, right?"

    Qin Shiou nodded and said: "Yes, I know. I have seen this movie. It turned out that it was filmed in Amsterdam? Oh, please forgive me, I was very young when I saw this movie and lacked understanding of the world."

    He watched this movie when he was in elementary school. At that time, he didn¡¯t even know New York and Los Angeles, but he didn¡¯t know Amsterdam.

    After Nelson and Bird got into the car, the driver enthusiastically began to introduce the situation of the movie "Who Am I" in Amsterdam.

    Qin Shiou really didn¡¯t know the relevant situation before. After listening to the driver¡¯s introduction, he learned that Jackie Chan is very famous in Amsterdam, almost on a par with the top Hollywood superstars.

    When filming "Who Am I", the Amsterdam city government gave a lot of preferential treatment. Among them, on October 3, 4 and 5, the city government stipulated that the main road outside the pier would be closed for 6 hours a day, and even the roads outside the municipal building would be closed.  The six-lane expressway was also closed and lent to them for filming.

    The Dutch Navy sent more than 300 officers and soldiers to participate in the performance, including marines, frogmen, military vehicles and multi-purpose fighter aircraft, and only food and drinks were provided without payment.

    After going abroad, Qin Shiou discovered that many things were promoted differently at home than abroad. Jackie Chan's reputation in China was average. Because of the Little Dragon Girl incident and his son's trivial matters, many new generation movie fans did not take him seriously.

    But overseas, Jackie Chan is very famous. Even in Hollywood, he is a very popular actor.  In the city of Amsterdam, Jackie Chan is simply synonymous with Chinese movies and Chinese Kung Fu.

    Tulips are the national flower of the Netherlands. After taxis drive into the city, parks will appear every now and then, with lush tulips growing in them.

    The driver enthusiastically introduced the varieties of these flowers to them, but Qin Shiou couldn't tell them apart. All he saw were golden flowers.Flowers also bloom in early spring, making the city lively.

    The car finally stopped at the entrance of a large hotel that looked older. The doorman helped open the door. Qin Shiou handed him a ten Canadian dollar bill. The doorman immediately smiled and helped carry the luggage upstairs.

    Qin Shiou did not go upstairs directly. He stood in the square in front of the hotel and looked around. It was his first time in the Netherlands and he was still very curious.

    Opposite the hotel are some simple buildings, and on both sides are magnificent high-rise buildings. Qin Shiou was a little strange, so he asked the doorman: "Are those buildings the former residences of celebrities?"

    The doorman said cautiously: "No, sir, that's a lesson from history. This used to be a Jewish residential area. Before World War II, opposite was the Jewish Glorious Church."

    Then, the doorman told Qin Shiou a historical event.

    On May 10, 1940, Germany invaded the Netherlands.  The Germans established a communist regime in Amsterdam and began to persecute the Jews. Although some citizens took great risks to shelter the Jews, more than 100,000 Dutch Jews were eventually imprisoned in concentration camps, and only about 5,000 Dutch Jews survived.  .

    At the end of World War II, communications between Amsterdam and other areas were completely interrupted, and food and fuel were also in extreme shortage.  During the winter, many trees in the city were cut down by citizens for firewood. Jewish houses were demolished first, and later the Glorious Church was demolished. Although the believers tried their best to protect it, most of the wood was still looted.  null.

    After the end of World War II, the Amsterdam city government was deeply ashamed of this, so it preserved this unusable church as a warning, hoping that people could restrain their lust and preserve their conscience.

    The little doorman saw that Qin Shiou was paying attention to the old church and thought he liked this kind of old-school architecture, so he gave him a few attractions to visit.

    Amsterdam has preserved a large number of old buildings. After World War II, the city once fell into a craze for demolition and reconstruction. The pre-war Jewish ghettos were demolished, and some narrow streets, such as Jude Street, were also demolished.

    The large-scale demolition of old buildings angered some citizens and eventually triggered the "New Square Riots."  Later, the citizens' demonstrations achieved results. The demolition and expansion of the streets were stopped, and only the subway would continue to be built underground. This also protected the old buildings and urban style to a large extent.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
