2018年5月17日下午，天气阴沉，我们从学校外出，开展了参观卢沟桥和中国抗日战争纪念馆的活动。下午两点，我们抵达了目的地附近，参观了抗日纪念地卢沟桥和抗日战争纪念馆。
卢沟桥有一段很长的历史，有关它的故事中最有名的就是“卢沟桥事件”。因为卢沟桥事件象征了中国人民抗日战争的全面爆发。在卢沟桥上一共有501个石狮子。这些狮子分别呈现出不同的姿势和表情。其中一些狮子的样子很可爱，但是我觉得大多数还是挺吓人的...当我们穿过桥的时候，每个班都有一名同学担任讲解员，向同学们科普卢沟桥的故事。
参观完卢沟桥，我们前往中国抗日战争纪念馆。说心里话，我并不是很喜欢参观纪念馆里的那些战争的缩影，因为抗日战争是一段极其沉痛的历史。战争呈现给大家的往往都是人性中最穷凶极恶的一面。大家在展厅中都很沉默。然而，我还是从中学到了不少东西，也了解了这段悲痛的历史。这次参观的经历让同学们近距离地学习感受了这段悲痛的历史，这足以让我们深刻铭记，当然我们也更真实地感受到了和平时代的美好。希望我们可以永远拥抱和平，也希望我们铭记惨痛的历史，记住这段历史不是为了记住仇恨，而是更加珍惜和平的美好和来之不易。
总之，这真的一次非常有意义的活动也是一场沉淀心灵的旅行。
On May 17 2018, we went on a trip for a whole afternoon to visit the Lugou Bridge and the Memorial site of the Chinese people’s war of resistance against Japanese aggression. We arrived there at 2pm, and started to visit the bridge and the memorial hall.
This bridge has a long history and there are many stories about it. One of the most famous is the Lugou Bridge Incident which is known to the Chinese people as a symbol the outbreak of the chineese people’s war against Japanese aggression. The whole bridge is more than 50 meters long and 15.5 meters wide. On the bridge, there are 501 lions standing on the pillar of two sides. The 501 lions all display with different gestures and facial expressions. Some of them are cute, but I think most of them are grisly. When we crossed the bridge, each class had one student to be a commentator to introduce the stories of the bridge.
After visiting the Lugou Bridge, we moved on to the museum. In fact, I didn’t enjoy the visiting experience of the museum at all, because Anti-Japanese War was a painful experience for the Chinese people. All the students were silent in the exhibition room. I learnt a lot about that period of history from this visit. I hope this can help me study the Chinese history well and understand it more profoundly. I think all of us now know the preciousness of peace and the happiness that human civilization brought to us and which are undoubtedly the most priceless. We should cherish them for our whole lives . Hope we can have a peaceful future.
In my opinion, this activity is very worthy and significant.
