Today, I am fortunate to embark on a cultural journey across time and space under the leadership of Diana, starting from the glorious civilization of ancient Egypt, as if taking a time machine and shuttled through history and art around the world. Diana, a teacher from Beijing, is so personable and knowledgeable that the whole British Museum is her &quot;home&quot;. She knows everything about the exhibits, like walking in her back garden, every detail is handcuffed. Her explanations are thorough, professional and interesting, and people can not help but lament her deep knowledge and expression. At first, I was worried that the three-hour tour would be too long, but soon found that the worry was completely redundant. Every minute is full of surprises and gains, time flies, and finally I feel that I have not finished! If I have the opportunity, I will not hesitate to sign up for a ten-hour or even longer in-depth tour. What impressed me more was the strong &quot;Beijing Gene&quot; on Diana&#39;s teacher. Her hearty atmosphere and humor made the entire explanation process both cordial and vivid, completely breaking the stereotype of traditional museum tours. When I listened to her, I often stared at the exhibits intently, and I couldn&#39;t help but smile. It felt like listening to Song Dandan&#39;s story - fun but thought-provoking. As a museum lover, I always thought that a good narrator could make a museum look new. And Diana was the kind of person who could make a museum &quot;live&quot;.
