Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately.

What are some great beginnings novels that you would recommend?
I think 'The Hobbit' by J.R.R. Tolkien has a great beginning. It starts with Bilbo Baggins in his comfortable home, and then Gandalf arrives to disrupt his ordinary life and set him on an adventure. It's a really inviting start for readers to enter this fantastical world. Also, 'The Great Gatsby' has a memorable start that gives a sense of mystery and allure about Gatsby himself.

Tongan Tingxi Reservoir
Tingxi Reservoir was located in Shangpu Village, Tingxi Town, northwest of Tongan District. It was located in the downstream section of Tingxi tributary in the Dongxi River basin, only 7 kilometers away from Urban area. It was built in June 1956 and was one of the earliest medium-sized reservoirs in Fujian Province. Tingxi Reservoir integrated flood control, water supply, irrigation, drinking water, and breeding. The rainwater collection area was 100.8 square kilometers (the rainwater collection area above the dam site was 77.4 square kilometers + the rainwater collection area of the water diversion project was 23.4 square kilometers). The total storage capacity was 48.45 million cubic meters, the normal storage capacity was 37.97 million cubic meters, and the dead storage capacity was 340,000 cubic meters. The dam is an earth-rock composite dam with a crest elevation of 75m, a dam height of 44.84m, a crest width of 5m, a dam bottom width of 249.4m, and a wave wall height of 1m. The dam foundation is impervious to water by using two-layer mortar block stone interception wall. There are 6 auxiliary dams in total with a crest elevation of 75m and a total length of 805m. The largest dam is 7.6m high and 3m wide. Spillway is located on the right side of the dam. The gate pier is made of reinforced concrete, and the side wall and bottom plate are made of mortar stone. After expansion, it will adopt the practical weir type. The weir top elevation is 65.66m, 9.34m away from the dam crest, and the net width of the weir is 40m. It is equipped with four steel wire mesh concrete arc gates (each 10m wide and 5m high). The gates adopt the double-purpose opening and closing equipment of the lifting type, hand-operated and electric, and the bucket is used as the energy dissipation type. The water tower was made of reinforced concrete with a column octagonal structure. It was 40.9 meters high and was used for maintenance. The power station behind the dam was built in 1974, with a total installed capacity of 1760 Kilowatts after expansion. On December 14th, 1955, the Tingxi Reservoir broke ground to clear the foundation. During the construction, the human wave tactic was adopted. The migrant workers from Jiaowei, Jinshan, Jinzhai, Liaodong, Hongjian, Baijiao, Xianyou, Anxi, Yongchun, Jinjiang, Nan 'an, Hui' an and other sister counties and cities (led by a deputy county-level cadre), 400 officers and soldiers sent by the garrison 5039 and transport vehicles were all involved. All walks of life and villages in Tongan County worked together to solve the problems of manpower, materials, equipment, food, non-staple food, transportation, migration and relocation. The Tingxi kiln site was located on the left side of the Tingxi Reservoir, which was more than 7 kilometers northwest of Tong 'an County. It extended to the ancient pit and Lingzhai area, covering an area of about 0.5 square kilometers. The kiln site was discovered in 1956 when the Tingxi Reservoir was built. It was identified as the site of a porcelain workshop in the Song Dynasty and was a provincial cultural relic protection unit. Today, Tingxi Reservoir was also a scenic spot for sightseeing and recreation. Here, the trees were shady and the water was glittering. One could enjoy the beautiful and attractive scenery of the mountain area. Moreover, this tourist spot was a combination of cultural relics, archaeology, and scenic sightseeing. The novel "Listening to the Rain in Green Bamboo and Watching the Egrets" is equally wonderful. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

Gangnan reservoir photography
Gangnan Reservoir had many elements suitable for photography. This was an important source of drinking water in the Shijiazhuang, and the surrounding scenery was beautiful. From some of the photographs, one could tell that there were park sceneries here for filming. In autumn, the autumn scenery of Gangnan Reservoir was very unique. Moreover, during the critical period of flood control, it would be very meaningful if the scene of the mechanical and electrical department engineers monitoring the equipment in the reservoir area through the video surveillance system could be filmed. The corners of the mechanical and electrical equipment, the opening and closing room, the power distribution room, and the operation of the equipment could all become unique photographic images. In addition, on July 25th, there were also photographers who took photos of Gangnan Reservoir. If you wanted to take photos while visiting the beach and bathing area of Gangnan Reservoir, you could navigate directly to Cao Huoxing Memorial Hall. After arriving, you could walk up the road to the dam head. Standing at the dam head, you could see the place where you played with water. This was also a suitable place for photography. The car could park on the dam. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
