I had been looking forward to the day for half a year, since I contacted China Highlights for the first time in this January. They promised I can enjoy the astronomical view with some people who have the same interest with me.
Finally, I came to China. We were told a guy called David Zhou from China Highlights would come to film us, as well as the solar eclipse. My buddies and I agreed to be filmed because we all look nice (no more than joking).
We arrived in Haiyan County, where was thought to be the best place to see the solar eclipse, at 8:00 am. We could arrive much earlier if there were not so many travelers who were sharing the road to Haiyan with us. When it turned to 9:00 something began to happen. We could see the sky was getting darker and darker. It was fortunate that David Zhou found us before we couldn’t see anything in such a wonderful “daytime”. I asked David why the local people didn’t hit their basins because I heard the Chinese would do that when solar eclipse happens. He told me the Chinese people only hit basins when lunar eclipse happens. Excuse me, I hope you do not think my question is stupid.
The sky is getting completely dark in the next 20 minutes. We all couldn’t help crying and jumping. I even heard some people were singing! David Zhou told me he can ask for double wage because he had worked for two days.
Today, David told me he had uploaded what he filmed on their website. I became a little bit unhappy after seeing his work because I only appeared no more than a second! But I admit that he filmed the solar eclipse very well. You can see the film on
