Magellan Jun soul dies, Lapu-Lapu cows are all broken, in

You are dust, dust.

(You are dust, and to dust you shall return.)-in the old testament Genesis, Chapter 3, section 17

In Cebu City, Bristol Bay on the other side of the isthmus, seemingly ordinary lies a small island-Mactan Island.

On business terms, it means that the only international airport in the region; the visitors, it means that small island located on the East coast of the coral Coast Resort Hotel and; on politicians and economists, it means that the ASEAN meeting of Asian countries wrestling; but it seems to me, is Stephen · Zweig in the Magellan biography of a greatly in dimensioning of exclamation points, attachment 1521, April 27, the day that has just persuaded Cebu island chiefs converting Catholic of Magellan, ambitions and boarded the Mactan, hope the same native convinced here, but huabutouji moving up the sword, the most valiant Centurion Lapu-Lapu will dagger penetrated the chest Magellan, great Navigator die slowly in the unwilling, "Victoria", he fled to the West and the following year returned to Spain, empirical ground sphere that human history thus overwritten.

486 years after setting foot on the land, the famous battle had no traces and only descendants of the ancient battlefield sites put up two monument, commemorating the Magellan and Lapu-Lapu.

History always like mocking create its human, the monument are however 100 meters, the air seems to be some embarrassment, Lapu-Lapu unwilling to face up to the old adversary, who turned left hand holding the knife with shielded right hand, in the sunlight confidently display strong tanned and winner's pride. Magellan's soul is safely in his dome secluded meditation with "still take pity on home water, miles off the boat", pleased with the Philippines became the Eastern hemisphere's largest Catholic countries. A life and death and the damned is adjacent with worship, the King in the world should be rare. This ask the locals, but has received affirmative answer without hesitation: Magellan to Filipinos brings faith and Gospel, had to admire; Lapu is the wave of the colonial victory over Western intruders in the first person in Asia.

Look up proud Warrior Lapu-Lapu, thinking he had a calm after the glory MTI Akers of Busta, or even to another investment communities, bloody carnage? or in the dense rainforests lush wild in missing? unfortunately that Spain had humiliatingly and go to the fleet, all of it is annihilation in shihai.

Here the King cannot help but let people read up Chibi pride moment zhoulang, the "party, Jingzhou, downstream under jiangling and East also, volume, the lu, banners short blank, shai wine Riverside, wielding a spear, Minoo also boasted an element?"

When the expedition across the ocean of Magellan fleet, five boat in only flagship "Victoria", returned to Spain, but it's enough to give strong support to Copernicus to finish his run on celestial bodies, in Magellan died 1980 contained in 1601, Italy were Matteo Ricci to Beijing to big Ming tribute God image and universal figure Chi, Chinese people the first know the system Earth theory, unfortunately a Xu guangqi and Lee's vision of algae, mingshenzong nor its ancestor Zhu di of courage and financial ...

These are backed by the character referred to, and those little Magellan's sailors? in to every period of history do more or less the note later, everyone has their own horn: Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Overnight accommodation for two monuments of several hundred meters away from Mactan Shangri-La resort.

Sleep heard of Magellan and Lapu voice of sword-blow, a surprise jump up, lift the curtain, the beach under the stars and to silence the how? a dawn screeching the skyline, echoing the Starlight was flared. I sleep, go to the beach to see the sunrise. Light waves lapping the rock sound more uncontaminated beaches surprisingly quiet, Pavilion is a familiar figure, mother also come to see the sunrise. We sit in a booth, lived out of breath, look at the Oriental world Misty haze and ocean surface waves waving little dragon scales. The Sun finally completely jumped out of the sea, long to express a deep breath, I just preemptively to be open, mother: "question was making me after my ashes scattered in the sea, clean. "I cannot help but startled by, then smile and should be, who will expect a mother in this beautiful morning in the sea about life and death of the righteousness, but who is not the final destination? so why is denied. "The cover will change from the who, and the world has not remained unchanged since its users and the concept, matter to me are endless. But how much? "in the rapidly changing era, are nowhere will matter I return a, not eternal, everlasting has been so. The Zen of Chibi ODE, so interpretation seems to have profound a layer.

Chat, a nameless bird flapping Leng Leng and puncturing, across the sea to, as "geese have sky shadow sink of cold water".

Whenever life.

C'est la vie.
