You missed in history class from Housetop works, dot, com, We look into the part time. Editor candid joined today by just Clark is looking rather tone and valley of chlorine from heads stripped the Beijing Olympics for your competed and came away with a what what color muddled they give. When he comes and last green now We like that, although I did they, I couldn't catch up to Michael Phelps. If I tried you that kid is just,

the swim, long, arms long legs short shrunk, smile, although I will say my claim, the famous I from my green metal is that It took one of his toes in my mouth exiles in the lane. Next to him He go I'm playing cloning him in swab immediately afterwards, so we're cool, but am you know. While I was there I, found out, I had seen it. I just heard in a rumor, there are some that there is some sites to see that the rest of the people who are above ground in Beijing, we're going to miss and at that there is in underground city. Somewhere below Beijing son. King all over the place. Trying to find this, you know I'm I'm looking. Garbage cans fer. You know, man holds that kind of thing and I couldn't find it so you in your all, knowing wisdom, you're, you're, quite omniscient, I

wondering if you might be able to tell me if that's factor fictions, I couldn't find any different evidence myself? It's fact awesome, so I the underground city. It is they really sorry that everyone does your dad. I was actually kind of hoping that they might route with honors through their it's about eighteen miles. Total- and I thought maybe you know just just pass through just so. We can see a sort of the name right from the heat of the street. You knew that the underground soon he was there and you knew I was going to Beijing. You didn't tell me to go the underground city, just one more women, appealing your life well, now and have been your added. I have to control your vacation terror. So tell me why. Why is it? a city beneath Beijing. If you really, The story ends in the seventeenth century, with the Roman, olives and deeming dynasty and why is essentially the start of a centuries long border skirmish between China and Russia? Do they have a lot of border yet

de I was amazed who knows there it's really long there are plenty of other countries in the world. The share borders that manage to get along pretty well like the USA and Canada, their habit or the USA in Mexico a time. Russia not so much is always you know, a power struggle for for borders and indifferent out parcels of land and everyone. One in part the other is back and forth. Well. Finally, when communism began to sweep across Eastern year out, everything came to peace, all you would think cell, but again still that was not the case with China and the Soviet Union's pretty surprising everything they be like hey on Communist, your communist. What's to have a picnic, London, what or something like that even help. But now and as we know, the cold war lasted nineteen. Forty seven, ninety ninety one and as

where's the? U S and the Soviet Union went. There were no really physically violent skirmishes. It was worth threats. We talked about the cold war before one of our European Proxy war, yeah both sides for each other using other nations armies which kind of screwed up, but well China and the USSR actually came to physical blow, Andrews, pretty serious and one of the first time that happened, the train attacked a boat load of soviets, and some slack like a literal bootloader dealing with our elder rowboat lie alcohol, the robot loud and about twenty four of them died. While the die The soviets retaliated, and they were a little bit more. How shall I say this down lay ardent with their mission, and eight hundred tunnies died, that's like the Chicago away somewhere brings a knife, you bring a gun,

for one or two years in the hospital you put one of those in the more. The soviets got that, apparently they get a case of a hundred people. Yeah, and only about sixty soviet style, and it was at this. The Chairman MAO said now you know well enough is enough. We need to be prepared, because by Sylvia through using aircraft strikes and Chinese were afraid that missiles might come knives or an all out invasion over the chinese borders so devised a plan for his country just in case of an attack and about, I think, forty sixty percent or space. Just run toward really promotes mountainous regions under the hill friends who the hell yeah because render the hills the ten China is population just kept growing and growing in growing that he had to accommodate the rest. So he decided to the aforementioned underground city assume

again, my arrayed shelter yeah, pretty might only was a really glorified arrayed shelter. It was complete with them the theatre and rollers, getting rank and a barber shop, and it was enforced with things like places to dig well nice is to grow crops that didn't live or that you could grow mushrooms down there near and they were little schoolroom and an beds and separately. Living quarters. For everyone who is really like China just below ground rules and the we're being that people can live down here for up to four months is tough on land to tell her how many people could at home around three hundred thousand, while yeah. That's a lot of peat is a lot of people and the best part of it That time has always been a nation who prizes working time other accomplishing her goal can hear with everyone sand in the pot and that's how the underground city was belt. Men, women annual

they dug out my hand, will you during the cultural revolution, I would imagine right. You said it was nineteen sixty nine that they started, and I was the height of Chairman Mouselike. Let us all work together to step communism in China. Her indeed unites because underneath today, supposedly there's still pictures of Chairman MAO Euro propaganda posters hanging up and not a whole lot is changed, and so you could. Have gone under needs to see the city and you entered through a very secretive port, Yes, Europe is apparent. I try reasons. I understand that I couldn't find it was. There didn't know, I did actually exists, but possibly there were secret entrances throughout the city. I couldn't find one, although I do here that there was this wall in the shop and in florescent, like marker, something that there is a map of this underground city,

had maybe like hold a black laid up to it or something to see it, which, I think is super cool is right in its true fell. It was a secret not so that only the Chinese, but now how to find the underground sitting at the soviet command. They will be completely unawares. They're, just look like the city was deserted, well, actually call, but even with that eighteen miles of all these underground tunnel, then area in all the vessel these and other research resources not being years most of it. Was off today and with the alarm coming from Beijing when they were trying to your speech at the city and get things licking shiny, new, Frau the visitors they and certainly or maybe, purpose flame. I don't know they or down some of the old sites with secret interest as well So now there's even fewer spaces. Waken get underneath this cruel that, explains why I couldn't find my way down. This underground said that, and if you are looking for a chinese talk, I guess no Chinese. I lie down there and how come I don't know

really willingness during her. Well, I hope the day, while the Olympics in Beijing again for years from now, as I plan on going back, for the yellow. This time, I think all the yellow it's better than green, but if it is there I'm gonna go to the underground sitting, which does exist. It passed through it and I'll. Tell you, when my fax during the Olympics than other clamouring and excitement ass people got ready. Thousands of children were named after the Olympics maybe after the Olympics,

Some of them were actually named olympics than others were named after the impact mass gone well beyond, while that someone could fever, and now I reckon I read an article on the onion that Saddam deadly virus outbreak in China actually to stolen brick seeber down now I read but an empty. I read certain guy he's got his whole face tattooed with Elam fake. I never believe something you regret by one September when he said that he didn't regret a humanitarian very forever and I think she will well if you want to learn even more about underground Beijing, you can reason why is bearing underground city beneath taking on has to forced more on this and thousands of other topics.
