The origin of less than cheap:

Less than Lian is like a young hero in the legends of many countries. There are at least seven or eight versions of his legend. Generally speaking, foreign enemies invaded and tried to destroy the city of Brussels with explosives. At the critical moment, the five-year-old child was dishonest and used his quick wits to douse the fuse with urine, saving people and the city. As time goes by, people no longer care about the version of that year, but they still can't remember Lian's deeds.

? This "child who urinates" is called Lian Xiao and is made of bronze. It was built by the Belgian sculptor Duquesnoy in 16 19. The statue is about 53 cm high. This five-year-old child is called "the first citizen of Brussels" by the people of Brussels, and it has a history of nearly 400 years.

In fact, as early as 16 19 years ago, the stone spring of "little love god peeing" was built, and now it is smaller than Lian's "peeing" position. The earliest historical record of "the child who peed" can be as early as 200 years, which can be traced back to 1452.

Cheap experience:

? Lian Xiao has been facing various "survival crises" since its birth. He witnessed the destruction of Brussels by foreign enemies and the looting of two world wars, but he was not as honest as he was, but he did what he had to do.

1695, in order to conquer Belgium, King Louis XIV of France shelled Brussels for three days in a row, and the whole city was in flames, and the fate of not finding cheap goods began.

1747, the French army stationed in Brussels dismantled and sealed the statue of Lian Xiao, which was the first disaster that Lian Xiao suffered.

187 1 year, a French tramp smashed the statue of Lian Xiao and was sentenced to hard labor for life.

1965, Lian Xiao was destroyed, and Lian Xiao's body was thrown into the canal around Brussels, leaving only one foot in the whole statue. The Belgian government restored it for the second time.

After the poor statue of Lian Xiao was stolen and destroyed again and again, the Brussels municipal authorities finally decided to send it to the municipal museum for collection. To this day, Lian Xiao's real body is still in the museum, and we see that the statue in the city center is a replica of Lian Xiao.

Today, Lian Xiao's fame spread all over the world. He is not only a symbol of Brussels, but also an important representative of Belgium. It is deeply loved by people all over the world. Whenever there are various anniversaries and important events, Lian Xiao will get clothes from different countries and organizations to celebrate. It is said that he has the largest personal wardrobe in the world, which contains more than 800 sets of clothes with different styles.
