**In 1930s Liuzhou, a wide-format realistic oil painting unfolds from left to right, capturing a city in transition. On the far left, the Liu River is shrouded in morning mist. A small steamboat gently approaches the stone dock, where townspeople carrying baskets disembark. Smoke rises from stilt houses by the riverside, and the distant Yufeng Mountain stands quietly in the haze. The scene shifts to a railway construction site, where workers shoulder iron rails, while a steam locomotive, billowing black smoke, waits near the unfinished Liuzhou train station. The station’s Western-style architecture stands tall, with students, workers, and citizens mingling on the platform. The cityscape follows: arcaded buildings line the streets, with shop signs reading "Nanyang Cigarettes" and "Civilization Photo Studio." Rickshaws weave through the crowd; young men in Zhongshan suits, women in qipaos, and elderly men reading newspapers fill the vibrant street. The final segment transitions to a tense military drill ground: soldiers train in neat formations, a simple barracks stands nearby, and a propeller trainer aircraft is being inspected beside parked military trucks. Children watch in awe, while faint traces of smoke in the distance hint at ongoing conflicts. The entire panorama captures the tension between tradition and modernity, peace and unrest. --ar 10:1** - <@1216977675789402202> (fast) -# Create, explore, and organize on [midjourney.com](<https://midjourney.com/imagine?from_discord=1>)
