 The 50^th Anniversary of the Military Museum

Once again, my return trip was a speedy one because I had to rush back to Beijing and participate at the Military Museum’s 50th anniversary celebratory event. I attended the event as an honorary member of the Military Museum. I think that if you ever come to Beijing, the Military Museum is definitely a place that you should visit. I’ve seen many types of war related museums before and they all look very much the same to me. However, our own Military Museum is different and it never came across my mind that our museum had such comprehensive exhibits. China has a long-standing history that spans over 5,000 years, and the items on display at the museum include a piece of stone from 5,000 years ago, all the way through to exhibits of modern-day technology and high-tech equipment that were used to put a man into space. That is why I say that this museum is definitely worth visiting. I also feel very honored because the military museum has only appointed two honorary members. One of them is Huang Liwei - the first man from China to travel into space. One of his medals is on display at the museum. The second honorary member is me, and the suit of armor I wore in The Myth is also on display at the museum.

(2009年7月29日)军博建馆50周年活动

又是匆匆的去快快的回，因为要赶回来北京参加军事博物馆开馆50周年的庆典活动。我是以军博的荣誉馆员出席的，我觉得来北京，军事博物馆是一定要参观的一个地方。以前我去过很多关于战争的博物馆，都是大同小异，但是想不到我们自己的军事博物馆的内容是如此丰富。因为我们中国有五千年的悠久历史，所以这里展出的物品是从五千年的一块石头开始演变成今天能够登上太空的高科技，所以真的非常值得参观。我也很荣幸，军博只有两个荣誉馆员，一个就是王立伟，我们中国第一个上太空的人，他把他的一个勋章放在军博展出，一个就是我，而且我的一套在电影《神话》中穿过的盔甲也能够在这里展出。
