Chapter 825 National Day of Mourning Chapter 826 National Mourning!(2/3)
"Today, for me, is an extremely sad day! From the discovery of canned food, we, the DreamWorks and the canned food, have been snuggling and supporting each other for so long, and have become best friends. We are affecting the canned food. Let it go from a bad horse to the king of the land horses now, and canned food is also affecting us, and affecting every American who likes it."
"Today, the can left us. It left with a smile. In heaven, it can still run, still raise its huge tail and cheer us on!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, a few months ago, from here. The economic crisis has put us in the abyss of despair. Today, facing the corpse of a horse and the canned food, you tell me. Are you still afraid!?"
"We are not afraid!"
"We are not afraid!"
"We're going to stand up!"
"We're going to run like cans!"
The people shouted loudly. The sound was deafening and never dispersed for a long time.
History will always remember this day. December 15, 1929. On this day, a horse will leave the world forever, but its spirit will always intensify those in trouble.
History will always remember this place. On December 15, 1929, in New York, in which countless people merged into a whole. Because of a horse, they found the direction to move forward again and saw the light of the world again!
The parade lasted until five o'clock in the afternoon. Finally, the canned body was carried to the hotel where we stayed.
There, a prepared high-end wooden coffin was placed at the entrance of the hotel, which was delivered by the owner of a coffin shop in New York City.
"Mr. Corleon, I originally wanted to keep this coffin for myself. I have kept this coffin for a full forty years. Now, I give it to cans. I hope the cans can sleep and underground." The owner of the coffin shop, an old man in his seventies, grabbed my hand tightly, and his voice choked.
I agreed to its request. Then I personally led the DreamWorks to put the canned body in the coffin, and put it in the golden trophy, as well as its saddle during its lifetime, and its favorite toy.
Above the coffin, a red dragon banner from DreamWorks is covered with, which means that cans are always part of DreamWorks and an inseparable part!
On the evening of the 15th, US President Herbert Hoover held a press conference in the name of the president of the federal government, and almost all American media were invited to attend.
At the reception, Hoover announced several decisions he made on behalf of the federal government in a deep voice.
"First, rename the Roosevelt Racecourse in New York City to the Can Racecourse, and this name will be passed down forever! At the same time, in the can Racecourse, a huge canned bronze statue is built to represent our memory of cans. At the same time, in places where cans have raced, in Los Angeles, Washington, etc., we must always remember this cute horse!"
"Second, the federal government will hold a state funeral for canned food on the 17th! On the day of the state funeral, U.S. federal government officials and representatives of state will collectively attend the canned funeral, and the United States will lower the flag to the bottom of the mourning!"
"Third, the central square in downtown New York was renamed Canned Square and a special memorial was established. Santia, Los Angeles, was renamed Canned Town!"
"Fourth, the U.S. Supreme Court will accept the lawsuit filed by DreamWorks for the Rockefeller Consortium, and will impose heavy penalties on the Rockefeller Consortium's actions!"
The four decisions made by Hoover on behalf of the federal government immediately caused an uproar and warm welcome as soon as they were announced.
The Roosevelt Racecourse was renamed as a canned racecourse, which was expected, because it had been decided before. Bronze statues were erected all over the country. This is obviously a great honor. You must know that generally speaking, only those who are respected by the whole American nation can have this qualification.
The treatment of the state funeral site is beyond anyone's imagination. You must know that there are only a few people holding state funerals per share, which represents the highest national honor, that is, those who are called national heroes rarely receive such honors, let alone a horse! They also have to raise the national flag to mourn. Such honors are really too heavy.
The third decision was to rename Santia Town to Canned Town. It was also incredible.
The last one is even more exciting
These decisions made by Hoover on behalf of the federal government may seem a bit unruly to some people, but they have been warmly welcomed by the public.
In the eyes of the public, canned food is fully qualified to enjoy these treatments and deserve it!
After Hoover announced a few decisions, I also made some decisions on behalf of DreamWorks.
"First of all, the canned trophy is buried in the cemetery on the back hill of DreamWorks, which will be buried with Lao Gis and others who died in DreamWorks. It will always be a member of DreamWorks."
"Secondly, all box office revenues in the Pentium Age will be set up a special fund called Canned Funds to help protect orphans who live in miserable lives without anyone taking care of them."
"Third, the Lockettree Consortium named its transportation company's largest marina in Los Angeles as a canned dock to commemorate canned food."
"Fourth, Canned Wife. The mare that had been with Canned before is pregnant. After the pony is born, DreamWorks will use the pony as the company's mascot."
These four decisions also received praise from the public.
Especially the last one, when people learned that the canned food had a "post-behind child", many people expressed their concern for this unborn pony.
There is no doubt that this pony will also become one of the most famous horses in the United States.
And December 14th, this day became a national mourning day.
On December 15, all major newspapers in the United States published commentary articles on their front page headlines. On this day, almost a historical record was set: all newspapers in a country and the front page headlines were the same news!
The New York Times' 10 pages are all about canned content. This is a page with an introduction to the life experience of canned food, photos of it since it participated in the competition. Of course, the main content is the last game of canned food and the scenes of people carrying its bodies to parade.
On the front page, there was a huge photo. On the photo, there was the iconic posture of running with its huge tail raised, lowering its head.
That photo was taken so well. In the photo, the most iconic character of canned forward was fully displayed. What is even more shocking is that at the time when the canned run, a ray of sunshine shone on it, and it became more and more sacred and tall!
The title of this article is "A Horse Saved America!"
"On December 14, 1929, Ninety-nine percent of Americans were lying in front of the radio and listening to a horse race, and the remaining one percent were running to the scene to watch it in person. Before, no one would have suspected that this day would be recorded in history forever."
"People walked into the stadium happily, and people were looking forward to watching the short and small racehorse rushing through the victory end again, and once again warming everyone with its running.
"Everyone's wish is fulfilled. Canned food has passed the end, but it has given its own life!"
"Perhaps some people would say that this was a tragic game. The God of War was injected with stimulants and died in the end. Canned food died on the field because it was exhausted. But what I want to say is that this is not a tragedy. On the contrary, canned food saved the United States with its own life! Saving this nation!"
"Since the economic crisis, despair and numbness have always been shrouded on Americans like dark clouds that have never dispersed, making these people live numbly, no different from the walking zombies. Until a bright ray of sunshine appears, until the can appears!"
"This horse that was short and small was called a bad horse before. Its running gave people hope. It allowed people to see that as long as they struggled, everyone had a chance to take off! It ran on its own, revitalizing those who were depressed, and it used its own running to lead the country to glory!"
"President Hoover announced a state funeral for canned food. This is very suitable. This horse is fully qualified to enjoy such treatment! And after suffering, after we shed tears, we have to do the ground, raise our heads and run towards the target like canned food. This is what we can really comfort the canned food!"
"Cans save America! We will always remember it. Remember such a running horse!"
The New York Times' commentary article is filled with passion. It is like a deafening horn, which makes people feel shocked after reading it.
If the New York Times is taking the passionate route, then the Washington Post is taking the warm style.
On the day before its front page, it was also a photo, but this photo is a world of difference from the New York Times photo.
This article published in the Washington Post is not a photo of can running, nor is it a photo of it when it is full of energy, but the moving smile that canned food shows at the end of life!
On the picture, the canned mouth is covered with blood. But its smile is so brilliant, so brilliant that it makes people feel sad.
The title of this comment from The Washington Post is simple: "Let's remember that a horse can laugh!"
"A few days ago, if someone told me a horse, I would definitely think that this person was joking. Because in my opinion, only people can have laughter. Only humans can understand what this expression means!"
"But yesterday, I was deeply shocked! To be precise, the whole American people were shocked! For the first time, we discovered that a horse would smile, and it was so warm and so trembling inside!"
"Can, this elves God has given us, this elves who have inspired us with unstoppable running from the beginning, and even at the last moment of life, have not forgotten to leave us an eternal smile!"
"After seeing this photo, I cried! I never thought that a horse would have such a pure and beautiful heart! It was sent by God to lead us out of our predicament, lead us to discover ourselves, and lead us to learn to laugh like it again!"
"The smile of a horse, this smile is like a blooming flower! So beautiful and so pure!"
"All Americans should remember this smiling face, a horse's smile, generations of Americans should remember this face, a face full of hope and confidence! Because only by remembering this smiling face can we firmly strangle the throat of fate!"
"Cans are immortal! Long live cans!"
The New York Times and the Washington Post are the most influential newspapers in the United States. Although the styles of this report are completely different, they have the same connotation.
Other media have spared no effort in this matter.
The one who responded the most intensely was naturally the newspapers in the west.
Compared with newspapers in the east, newspapers in the west love cans more, because people in the west have always regarded cans as the pride of the west, and there is a deeper feeling here.
After receiving the news of the death of canned food, the Los Angeles Times pulled out all the manuscripts that were originally prepared and made a special issue of canned food.
They spent extreme time asking Los Angeles people for all photos of cans in various ways, preferably some photos that represent the growth of cans and never were published.
This initiative has been issued and immediately received enthusiastic support from all Los Angeles people.
So, Los Angeles photographers, photography enthusiasts, enthusiastic horse racing fans, and people in the racetrack all began to look through a large number of old photos, all trying to find some old photos about cans.
As a result, after reading this, I really found some.
An old man who used to work in a racecourse found a canned food in a photo he undoubtedly took with his friends. This photo is the earliest canned food until now. In the photo, the canned food stood on a piece of grass, basking in the sun with his head raised, and the other horses were sleeping around him. Only he looked peaceful in the sun.
Some people also found photos of the canned food being sold by the horse farmer and suffered a lot after it was sold. In these photos, you can see the canned food being beaten with scarred bodies.
More people found photos of the canned food that they participated in the competition before joining DreamWorks. In these photos, it will never occupy the center. It is squeezed into the corner by many horses, compared with those racing horses that won the victory and were covered with flowers. The canned food is extremely lonely, but there is no numbness or sadness in its eyes, and there is only peace and indifference.
The most common photos that the people gave were photos of the competitions that cans participated in after joining DreamWorks. On those photos, they ran so confidently, so confident and full of hope.
The Los Angeles Times has also made a record. In total, 20 pages, all of which are placed with canned pictures. These collected pictures are arranged in chronological order, and only a small amount of text description is added below each photo.
On the front page, there is a super rough title: "The life of a horse, the life of immortality!"
The last photo of this specially planned pictorial report by the Los Angeles Times is a child holding a canned poster in his hand and smiling at the camera. This photo is the only photo in the entire issue of the newspaper where there is no shadow of canned.
Under this photo, the text is as follows: "December 14 is the birthday of this child from Los Angeles. He is 4 years old this year, as big as a can. When I asked him if he knew what the horse on the poster he was holding was called. He smiled and told me that the horse's name was Hope."
Looking at the explanatory text, who doesn't feel trembling inside?
Yes, for millions of westerners, the name of canned food has long been equated with hope.
In addition to the Los Angeles Times, newspapers such as the Los Angeles Tribune, Citizens, Posts, Hollywood Times and other newspapers have launched end reports on canned food. The media's mood is extremely painful about the passing of canned food, but their reports do not just stay on the pain, but based on this, they call on the people not to let canned foods down and should work hard like canned foods.
If the saddest media were selected among the American media, I am afraid no media would be more painful than Lockettke TV.
After receiving the news that the can was gone, Lockettke TV immediately canceled all entertainment and celebration programs and began to report special films about cans continuously.
Many TV announcers often choked up and couldn't speak when they were broadcasting news about canned food.
After discussions on the board of directors, Lockettke TV also made a decision. This decision was to add the image of canned food based on the original station logo.
In this way, the Lockett TV station's flagship has changed its appearance again.
