First, the construction of Yuanmingyuan is meaningless, and the investment will be high, which is not worthwhile at all. In fact, it is not impossible to rebuild Yuanmingyuan, but it has to be rebuilt here. Otherwise, it's not a waste to stay here after the repair. To put it bluntly, Yuanmingyuan is a summer manor used by the Qing emperors. Living here for more than ten days a year does have certain historical value, but if it is rebuilt, the cost is simply too high.
Yuanmingyuan was destroyed by fire for historical reasons. Let's just say that today's Yuanmingyuan is actually in ruins. If you want to rebuild, you have to find experts to restore the design drawings of that year, and you have to find skilled craftsmen to build them according to the construction technology of that year. This manpower, material resources and time are all money. Judging from the fact that Yuanmingyuan covers an area of 3.5 square kilometers, if it is done, it will not be completed by several hundred million yuan, and it will definitely cost tens of billions, which is impossible to count.
Second, the existence of Yuanmingyuan is telling all future generations not to forget national humiliation, so how can the country be rebuilt? If the country wants to rebuild Yuanmingyuan and solicit public opinions online, I am against it. I'm not saying that I don't want to see what the landscape of Yuanmingyuan was like. The existence of Yuanmingyuan doesn't mean that we can appreciate the exquisite architecture of that year, but let's never forget how our happy life came about and what Eight-Nation Alliance did in Beijing.
The existence of Yuanmingyuan is to tell everyone how rampant and arrogant these people are in Beijing. If the Yuanmingyuan is really repaired, the evidence will be gone, and then they can change their country's textbooks and scribble at will.
Finally: I really want to visit Yuanmingyuan when I have the chance, and see what these foreigners did in China and what they left behind.
