(During the May Day,my friend and i visited The Mausoleum of Huang Di<黄帝陵>,we took train,it was a tiring one,especially on the train-process,you know overcrowded persons,we had to stood all the way,but it was a worthy  one,really.I copied the translation of the instruction from one large board.One tourist thought that i was recording my thoughts then,when i told him the truth,he said he liked to accompany me to finish the copy,so i stood there,writing quickily and explaining something to him the same time.Today,i happened to find it and i put it here to share with all of you.Wish you can one day go there and enjoy youself.Lots of things are awaiting you to see and think.)
