"Ireland"

I love England and I love Ireland too. As the base of Protestantism, there are only two purely Catholic countries in the entire Western and Northern Europe, one is Belgium, and the other is Ireland with its unique style (Britain, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden and Iceland are all Protestant countries, while the Netherlands, like Germany, is half Catholic and half Catholic. Protestant.) "The Wind Blows the Wheat Waves" tells the story of the unyielding resistance and bloody rage of the Irish Republican Army, which was ruled by England for seven hundred years at the beginning of the twentieth century, against the British Empire. Compared with Scotland's soul-stirring "Braveheart" of England, "The Wind Blows the Wheat Waves" has a gentler and softer lens and narrative, but Ireland and Scotland are still the same in their demanding and pursuit of freedom and equality. I am amazed that the awakening of civil rights in Ireland a hundred years ago is more thorough than in some countries now. There are still many similarities in Scotland. For example, the Celtics, the totem team of Catholics all over the world, are inextricably linked with Ireland. PS: After Ireland became independent from the British Empire, the Commonwealth countries in India, Southeast Asia and Africa also became independent. The lives of republican heroes have never been sacrificed in vain, and I would say that it was their blood that awakened the free world...

Both radical nationalism and eclectic conservatism have their own reasons to defend their ideals, but they insist on uncompromising, what is torn apart, and what is sacrificed. Master skill, concise and steady, smooth and calm. The grass is silent, the breeze is blowing, the people are gone, and the hatred is still there.

    When the protagonist is submerged in a group of people and the color recognition is similar, it is not clear whether it is a person who promotes development or a group of people. If a group of people is in chaos, then the final death will be weakened.
