(Bow thanks to "Book Friend 14016955" and "Book Friend 5827326" for their support!)
A very ordinary Chevrolet sedan was driving on the road 2 to Harvard campus. There were two fat and thin people sitting in the car. The thin man was in a hurry and said to the fat man in anger: "Oh damn fat, I told you to get ready to go early, but you bastard just want to talk to the red-haired little bitch. If you miss it, I will kick you down from the Charles River, I swear!"
The fat man spread his hands out of no way and said, "Hey, I said, "Skinny Monkey, I think your reaction is too excited now. Isn't it just a Harvard University opening ceremony, we go to observe every year, which year is not the same? And now many people above will send people to observe on site, and we rarely need to explore anything."br /Novels>
"God, I really want to kill you, this fat man. Are you pretending to be strippers in your head?"
The thin man said irritably: "I tell you that this Harvard opening ceremony is different from before, because from China, the red China that your grandmother always uses to scare you to sleep, and more than 20 people were sent to Harvard for further study, and the presidential special approval was passed. It is said that these red Chinese people are extremely arrogant and have already fought with Brooke when they come over, and they are the son of the irritable congressman."
"Isn't this true? Why haven't I heard of such a big thing? Brighton didn't react much, either." The fat man cried out.
"Of course you haven't heard of it, because God knows what you are thinking in your head, and it seems that the red Chinese people have used some means, so Brooke didn't make a big fuss back," said the thin man.
The fat man suddenly realized: "So it turns out that this is true. It seems that the red China is indeed the country where Satan lives, otherwise how could they do such a thing?"
The thin man slapped the fat man on the head with dissatisfaction and said, "Okay, fat, don't wail here, so we must go and see this opening ceremony. I have a premonition that it will be very interesting. If we missed this, then our organization can really be disbanded!"
As the thin man said, the fat man stepped on the accelerator hard, and the Chevrolet, which was originally slowly slowly ran up like chicken blood and headed to Harvard campus.
When they arrived at Harvard campus, it was the time for freshmen to enter the venue. When the bell of the Memorial Church rang, all freshmen entered the venue under the corridor of the old students and entered the campus theater. After the students sat down, the freshmen's dean first delivered a welcome speech, and then the pastor of the Memorial Church delivered a prayer.
Looking at these scenes, the fat man gradually lost his curiosity: "Look, it seems that nothing special, it's the same as in previous years."
But the thin man held his camera and scolded: "Damn it, shut up and stand there honestly. Are you going to go on stage if you don't see Principal Lawrence?"
The thin man was cursing here, and a short and fat man walked up to the rostrum. He was Lawrence, the president of this world-famous Harvard University. The thin man hurriedly gave him a close-up.
Lawrence walked onto the stage, and he was not in a hurry to speak, but he sorted out his speech a little before saying, "Hello, students from the 1990s, I am your president, Lawrence. I am very happy to be here with you all this afternoon to attend the opening ceremony of Harvard University. The temperature outside is very low now, but I am sweating hot here. I believe this is all because of everyone's enthusiasm."
"This year we have recruited a total of 1,000 students, from fifty states across the United States, and elites from 43 different countries around the world. You come from different places, and your education, living habits and ways of thinking must be different. But today you have come here and become part of Harvard University. I ask you to regard this place as your home, and other classmates are your brothers and sisters."
Lawrence said: "The pastor said that we are all children of God, and we are all equal before God. I also want to say that on the Harvard campus, you are equal. Whether you were in a luxurious villa in Lexington or in a slum in Zimbabwe in Africa, as long as you stand here today and under our shared Harvard blue sky, we are equal."
"I always say that Harvard only has no surprises, but today I need to tell you an unexpected situation, that is, among all our lovely freshmen, there are twenty-six students from Red China more than this class!"
A stone caused a thousand sensation. When Lawrence said this, the scene suddenly became an uproar, and everyone whispered. Although some of the students already knew the news, it was still surprising to hear the news from the principal.
"Oh my God! How could this happen? In the past, Harvard had a quota restriction on receiving foreign students? Even if it wasn't, Harvard had never had a precedent for accepting so many students from a country at once. It would be fine if it was a Commonwealth country, but why could these Chinese people come in so many at once? There must be conspiracy here. Principal Lawrence just said that everyone is equal, it's just a lie!"
The students below were talking at a glance and I, expressing their dissatisfaction, and the students standing next to Zhou Ming and the others were even more overwhelming, and they even pointed their hands at their faces.
Principal Lawrence stood on the rostrum calmly, and let the students below continue shouting excitedly. After a while, he raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
Although the students below expressed dissatisfaction with the news, the principal was the principal or the old principal of Harvard for nearly thirty years. His prestige was beyond doubt, so the dissatisfaction of these students quickly calmed down.
Lawrence was very satisfied with the effect. He continued: "The situation this time must be a bit special, but please believe that these Chinese students are all excellent and meet the admission requirements of the school. Then we will invite the representative of Chinese students to come to the stage and ask him to be the representative of our new student at the opening ceremony of Harvard University. Let me tell you a few words and welcome you with applause."
As Lawrence finished speaking, applause rang out below. Amid the applause, the fat man who had been paying attention to the opening ceremony excitedly clapped his hands: "This is great. The old guy Lawrence clearly did it on purpose. Now those Chinese people are the bison running in the front and there is no way back at all."
The thin man nodded and said, "It's true. Who can pass Harvard's entrance exam is not an elite? Now Lawrence only picks out the names of those red Chinese people, which is clearly to make people oppose him. It seems that there is a bit of insider information about these red Chinese people coming to Harvard. Otherwise, with Lawrence's always dead face, how could he play such a clever trick today?"
"It is very unscientific for those stupid Chinese to come to Harvard. There is a closed and barbaric country. Can you tell me whether one or two are clear, and you still have to go to Harvard?"
The fat man laughed unscrupulously, but the thin man frowned and subconsciously pointed the camera in his hand at the area where the 26 Chinese students in the crowd were located, because he had a strong feeling, as if these Chinese students would give some different surprises.
"Teacher, why is this happening? We asked the student union before, didn't we say that the new student representatives are Americans? Why did we suddenly call our names? We were not prepared at all!"
Chen Shu said with great concern that other financial students also looked like they were silent, only Zhou Ming was still calm. Zhou Ming said to everyone: "Actually everyone is the same, and don't you think Principal Lawrence gave us this opportunity, but it was our opportunity? Look at the surroundings, everyone looks down on us, and they all think that our arrival is an insult to them. If there is no opportunity for the new student representative to speak this time, then we will always be an alien."
At the end of Zhou Ming's words, he asked again: "Did you forget the class meeting I held for you a week ago?"
Faced with Zhou Ming's retort, all the students in the financial class suddenly fell into silence. The reason was very simple. Every word Zhou Ming said at that class meeting was deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.
At this time, Zhou Ming's tone softened again and then said: "Students, our motherland is very poor and backward. As Chinese, we will be bullied abroad. I believe you have seen the previous events. Anyone who jumped out can insult and beat us at will. The American police will only help them and not help us."
"So now we are here at Harvard. We are here to study abroad. Isn't it just to revitalize the motherland and let our compatriots hold their heads up and will not be bullied at all? So now, just let us go to power as new students, will we retreat? How can we change ourselves and our motherland in this way? Our change is to start from today, and we still have many tasks!" Zhou Ming said.
The students in the financial class are all elites selected from the country. They naturally understand the truths that Zhou Ming said, but they understand in their hearts that one thing is one aspect, and whether they can accept it is the other aspect.
"Don't worry, since Principal Lawrence has given us this opportunity, I have to seize it. This time, I will be the representative of Harvard's freshman."
Zhou Ming left a sentence and then walked towards the rostrum.
Zhou Ming's standing attracted everyone's attention, but because everyone was watching Zhou Ming, almost no one noticed that behind Zhou Ming, those financial students who were at a loss, who had been at a loss suddenly became firm after Zhou Ming's words, as if they had made up their minds suddenly.
