The Bush and his wife's convoy crossed the river and came to Dongxing University in Jiangbei. Although the Ministry of Education did not recognize it as a university and only gave it a college level, the construction was completely in line with the standards of a first-class university.

The school covers an area of ​​nearly 4,000 acres, and the entire design has completely hired a foreign team and several well-known American architectural design companies participated in the project.

The campus has beautiful scenery, a strong Western Romanesque architectural atmosphere, and a large number of red bricks and stones are used, which adds a classic and elegant atmosphere!

The old Bush and his wife were very surprised. Bush said to Lin Johnson: "Lin, your university is beautifully built! Before I came, I thought this place might be more like a Soviet university, but I didn't expect it to be more like an American-style campus. It reminds me more of Phillips College, which is my alma mater!"

Lin Johnson recalled and asked, "That's a high school, one of the richest private high schools in the United States. The students attend the school are all politicians and rich children. Half of the graduates go to Yale and half to Harvard. It can be called a noble school. You are the one who goes to Yale!"

Bush Sr. laughed and said, "Yes, but I joined the army after graduation and went to Yale after retirement. I have a lot of talent for learning!"

Barbara also smiled and said, "I can prove this!"

Lin Johnson smiled and said, "I forgot that Mrs. Bush is not only an alumni, but also graduated from the same year and became husband and wife during college!"

The Bush and his wife were very surprised at what Johnson Lin knew about them. They visited Dongxing Academy while everyone was joking. The construction of this place has not been completed yet, so it looks very empty, but the school took the lead in building a large gymnasium. Bush's speech was held in this very modern gymnasium.

The students entered the venue according to each department and class. The teacher had already promoted the discipline and repeatedly said that there was no discussion this time, so the students were not allowed to speak at will.

Yan Ling is the class monitor of the second clinical class of the Medical School. When she saw Lu Na at the beginning, she was a little absent-minded and asked with a smile: "Lu Na, are you still thinking about your sweetheart? Isn't he from Bincheng? Have you contacted me?"

"No!" Lu Na shook her head and said with some loss, but her eyes were unrestrained to look at the door of the gymnasium.

Yan Ling is two years older than Luna. She consciously takes care of Luna like her elder sister and said, "Luna, let's ignore that unfaithful man. I will introduce you to a good one. The first class of study committee members is good. He mentioned you a few times to me and is interesting to you!"

Lu Na glanced at Yan Ling and said coldly: "I'm boring to him, don't talk nonsense!"

Yan Ling smiled quite familiarly and said, "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense, but I think you are really suitable!"

Luna shook her head and said, "I'm going to enter!"

Yan Ling looked back and then organized her classmates to walk into the gymnasium. It was said that many people usually came here, but it was the first time to use it as a speech venue, but the sound in the venue was really good.

"Today we were lucky enough to invite Mr. Johnson Lin, the builder of East Star Academy! In addition, US Vice President Mr. Bush also visited our hospital!"

When the host announced his name, Luna opened her eyes wide, and even heard the sound of her heart thumping. Her hands grabbed her clothes tightly and stared at the scene without blinking. How familiar is this name. Since she came here, she knew that her sweetheart had donated the construction of this university. This made her unable to believe how much he had hidden from her!

Lin Qiangsheng spoke in applause. Lu Na could no longer hear what he said. His figure was all over his mind. Finally, she saw him missing him day and night, and her eyes became wet in an instant.

"The purpose of my construction of this university is to hope that students can gain rich knowledge here and cultivate a heart that has dreams and is willing to pursue their dreams! You will also become the seeds of knowledge and bear fruit in the future. I sincerely wish Dongxing University will be proud of you, and you will also be proud of your studies in this university! Seeking truth, being honest and independent is the motto of Dongxing University!"

Amid the warm applause, Lin Johnson turned around and said, "Next, please invite Mr. Bush to speak!"

Bush Sr. smiled and waved to the students. His slightly humorous style won the warm welcome from the teachers and students present.

He walked to the microphone and the scene became quiet. Bush looked around the students with a smile and said, "Young people, I am sincerely happy to see you enjoying knowledge and happiness here! Then, the title of my speech today is called Believe!"

For this time, the US side made careful preparations. A translator stood beside Bush, who was a Chinese American, and she translated what Bush said directly to the students.

Bush said: "It took a long time for the relationship between China and the United States to achieve the current achievements. I still remember that after Nixon visited China, people originally thought that China-US relations would develop further, but due to his personal reasons and some factors between China and the United States, our two countries fell into a long period of indifference, doubting each other and waiting and watching!

One day, President Carter came to me and hoped to represent the United States as the British ambassador or an ambassador of an important country. I asked him that I would come to China. At that time, the United States was in Beijing. There was only one liaison office. Carter was very surprised when he learned about my decision, but he was also very happy, so I came to China."

He said vividly to the students present: "At that time, I decided to come to China to serve as the director of the liaison office because I believe that China and the United States will definitely strengthen their ties. China is such an important country. The United States cannot be without China, and the world cannot be without China!"

The students listened carefully, and Bush continued: "At that time, I was full of confidence in China. Although you were in a chaotic period at that time, the United States was also chaotic because of the political war. At that time, the United States had not yet ended the Vietnam War!

Many friends, including some American politicians, have made me cautiously interact with Chinese officials, but after I came here, I discovered many interesting things. The Chinese upper-level leaders are very active in developing relations with the United States and have a strong desire for friendship between China and the United States. However, I contacted some middle-level officials and found that this was not the case. Although they highly agree with the development of Sino-US relations on the surface and support this decision on the surface, they secretly disagree with the development of relations with the United States, and are even cold and inconsistent, which makes me very confused!

However, I still believe that China has a desire for a friendly life with the United States. I found that the ordinary Chinese people have the same expectations for a better life as Americans. I rode my bicycle and wandered in the streets and alleys of Beijing. I saw all kinds of Beijingers. I was deeply fascinated by such culture. They were also very curious about me. Whenever we went there, people looked at me like a rare animal, and saw that this foreigner actually had golden retrievers!”

"Haha" the students all laughed, and the US vice president knew how to laugh at himself.

Bush Old Bush smiled and said, "By contacting these ordinary people, I saw their urgent desire to curiously explore external affairs! Later, until I was lucky enough to come to China again and visited many places outside Beijing.

For the first time I learned that China actually has so many unique scenery, such as your Jiangnan, northwest, and southwest regions. People in these places can have completely different living habits, and the climate environment and even architectural styles are completely different from those in the north. China is so colorful and so mysterious!”

Bush Sr. said to the students: "I was wondering, such a wonderful China, such a mysterious China, why did we know nothing about him before? There was a long gap between them!"

"Happily, when I come to China again, you have joined the world family. This is great! Only by contacting can the world understand China, and China can understand the world. When I came to China again in 1979, the relationship between China and the United States had made substantial progress. China proposed reform and opening up at that time. As far as I know, this is the first reform started by a socialist country, which is very, very amazing!

We Americans initially believed that China's policies were exaggerated. In fact, it was not the case. Over the past few years, China has been moving forward firmly under the leadership of the new leader. You have shown the world that China's reform and opening up is firm and unyielding at the same time!"

Bush asked: "Do you know what changes China's policies have brought to the world? Maybe you don't know yet. This means that Chinese people with more than 1 billion people, one-sixth of the world's population, will completely change their lives. This is simply a miracle. You are experiencing this great miracle!"

"For the United States, China's reform and opening up means new challenges. I think there are more opportunities. I fully believe this because you have a population of more than 1 billion. What a huge market. China will definitely occupy an important position on the world stage in the future. I believe that this will lead to deeper cooperation between China and the United States. The United States is willing to participate in China's modernization transformation. We are not bystanders, but witnesses of miracles. I believe that you will get better and better!"

The students applauded from the bottom of their hearts, and everyone stood up excitedly to cheer for Bush's speech. Today, they learned for the first time how foreigners view China and how they view China's reform and opening up, and they were full of confidence in the future.

The US vice president did scratch everyone's itch, and the young students unconsciously became proud. (To be continued.)
