問題詳情

On a grassy field near some famous monuments in Washington, D.C., there are two walls ofpolished black stone. The two walls meet to form a “V” at a height of 10 feet. Carved on the frontof the walls are 57,939 names. They are the names of all the Americans who died in the VietnamWar, or who remain missing. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial was built to honor the men andwomen who served in the Vietnam War. The loss of American lives in Vietnam first occurred in 1959 and ended in 1975. In 1979, a group of Vietnam veterans decided that those who died in thewar should have a monument. The question of how the monument would look was decided by anational competition. A huge number of designs were submitted and the winner was Maya Ying Lin,a 21-year-old architecture student at Yale University.Maya Ying Lin wanted her design to be a kind of park—a quiet, protected place. She chosepolished black granite for the walls. Its mirror-like surface reflects the images of the surroundingtrees, lawns, and monuments. Every day, thousands of visitors walk alongside the memorial andread the names. Among the visitors are friends and relatives of the dead or missing. On a bright day,the monument’s polished surface not only shows the names of the dead, but also reflects the facesof those who remember them.
