Chapter 2145 give a speech
"LONG, thank you for accepting our invitation to Waseda University. I, including all the teachers and students of our school, sincerely welcome you for your arrival." The bald Chief Takayasu of Okushima held Chen Kangjie's hand and said politely and sincerely.
"Hello, Chief Takayasu Okushima, thank you very much for your invitation, thank you teachers and classmates. I am very honored to be able to visit Waseda University." Chen Kangjie did not take any measures, but instead acted as a junior who was a junior who was the last to go to school.
Chen Kangjie respects Okushima, a legal scholar who is kind to China.
After greeting the main management team of Waseda University at the school gate, accompanied by Chen Kangjie and the others walked towards the campus in a mighty manner.
While walking, Oshima Xiaokang introduced the situation on campus to Chen Kangjie. However, this kind of introduction can only be at a rough level and stage. With Oshima Xiaokang's introduction, Chen Kangjie can only take a quick look at all the campus with a century-old history.
Don’t think that you will not be disturbed by entering the campus. In fact, the crowd that welcomes Chen Kangjie is like a shadow, endless. However, fans have been replaced by students from Waseda University.
On both sides of the humanistic road, no one waved or shouted to Chen Kangjie at all times. Even if the students of the school did not block the road, they were still three layers inside and three layers outside. In order to see Chen Kangjie clearly, some students even climbed onto the big trees by the roadside.
So Chen Kangjie had to interact with the hospitality Waseda University students along the way, so he naturally didn't listen to the introduction of Director Takayasu Okushima.
"Is that statue the founder of Waseda University Shigeon Okuma?" Chen Kangjie pointed to a statue erected in the green area in front of him and asked Takayasu Oshima.
"Yes, Mr. Shige Nobuo Okuma is not only a two-term Prime Minister, but also Waseda University was founded by him. Although the first president of our school was Eima Okuma, in the hearts of our Waseda people, Mr. Shige Nobuo Okuma is always the first." Takayasu Okuma said.
"Can I present a bouquet of flowers to Mr. Shigeon Okuma and express my respect. I appreciate the purpose of building the school by Mr. Shigeon Okuma, "preserving academic independence, effectively using academics, and creating model citizens" that I really appreciate the purpose of building the school." Chen Kangjie put forward a request that was not arranged in advance.
Although Shigenobu Okuma was a Japanese, it is undeniable that as an important politician, reformer and patriot in the Meiji Restoration period, he had many respectable advantages and charms. Just looking at the purpose of building the school he proposed, it can be seen that he is an educator with far-reaching thoughts and strategic vision.
For such a person, even if he is a Japanese, Chen Kangjie should give him a considerable degree of respect. Moreover, this is also an important means for Chen Kangjie to bring closer relationships with local teachers and students.
Although Chen Kangjie's request was abrupt, Takayasu Okushima could not object. The visitors respecting the founder of their school is actually equivalent to respecting and appreciating their institution.
So, accompanied by Takayasu Oshima and under the witness of many reporters, Chen Kangjie visited the statue of Shigeshino Okuma and gave a bouquet of flowers and bowed three times.
In fact, Chen Kangjie thought about doing this before coming, so he asked Liu Deyi to prepare a bouquet of flowers.
Leaving the statue of Shigeshino Okuma, moving further forward is the most famous Okuma Lecture Hall at Waseda University, which is also the place where Chen Kangjie will give a speech today.
After his death on January 10, 1922, Okuma Shigenobu started a series of constructions to commemorate him. The first decision and most famous one was the Okuma Lecture Hall, which was one of his unfinished dreams during his lifetime.
There are 1,435 auditoriums on the third floor, and 382 auditorium on the second floor on the first floor. On the left side of the lecture hall, there is a bell tower about seventh floor high. The height of this bell tower is about 38 meters, determined by Shigeshinobu Okuma. The bell on the tower crosses the Panama Canal from Maryland. It is the first Japanese bell made of four different sounds. This bell rings 6 times a day, and its bell is the same as that of Westminster Temple in England.
The roof of the Okuma Lecture Hall uses oval lighting glass. These lighting glasses represent the sun, the moon, and the nine planets, respectively, and mainly symbolize the "world integration" inside and outside the lecture hall. Due to the impact of the Kanto earthquake, it took about five years to finally hold the opening ceremony on October 20, 1927. In April 1999, in accordance with the Tokyo Capital Landscape Ordinance, which aims to protect Tokyo's history and culture, the Okuma Lecture Hall was listed as the No. 1 historical building in Tokyo, and the No. 2 was the old library.
Chen Kangjie's speech today was in the lecture hall on the third floor. When they walked along the quaint steps, except for the two rows of seats left in the middle of the front, the rest were already full.
From the moment Chen Kangjie stepped into the side door, there was a long-lasting applause in the lecture hall. The students from various academies did not despise Chen Kangjie because he was not old or from China. While they applauded enthusiastically, their eyes were burning towards Chen Kangjie, which was equivalent to paying attention to him.
To their welcome, Chen Kangjie took a bow and thanked him. After the three parties waved and bowed respectively at the left middle, Chen Kangjie sat down in a position on the podium under the greeting of Xiaokang of Oshima.
At this time, in addition to placing two chairs on the side, a podium was placed in the middle, and the front of the podium was engraved with the Peugeot of Waseda University.
After Chen Kangjie sat down and communicated with him for a few words, Chief Takayao Oshima walked to the front and back of the podium and said to the audience: "Students and teachers, please calm down. Today, we are honored to invite famous writers, musicians, film directors and outstanding athletes LONG to our school for a speech. I believe that the students and teachers here are familiar with LONG. He has won countless international awards, so let us all welcome LONG with warm applause." Oshimao Oshima first gave a complimentary introduction to Chen Kangjie before invited him to the stage.
Amid a storm of applause, Chen Kangjie stood up from his chair. After he bowed to Kokang Oshima, he walked to the center of the podium.
Faced with everyone's warm applause, Chen Kangjie seemed calm while being proud.
Now Chen Kangjie is no longer the one who has never seen much of the world, nor is he who cannot be put on the table. Although this is a world-class and famous higher education institution, Chen Kangjie is not frightened and does not feel inferior. So many students are willing to come here to welcome him and listen to his speeches, which itself shows that he has the strength and reputation.
But being confident is one thing, and showing it is another.
Chen Kangjie still bowed to the audience humbly, then walked to the podium and turned the microphone up. Chen Kangjie was more than 20 centimeters taller than Oshima Xiaokang, so the microphone height of Oshima Xiaokang's microphone was not suitable for Chen Kangjie.
When Chen Kangjie adjusted the microphone, the more than a thousand people below immediately became quiet. Each of them was full of expectations to see what insightful content Chen Kangjie would say in this solemn and sacred place.
The reporters on the scene also prepared their own work tools and were ready to capture Chen Kangjie's possible highlights at any time.
"Hello, all the students, teachers, today I am very happy and honored to come to the famous Waseda University with respect. Here, I would like to first thank President Takayasu Oshima for your invitation, thank you for your tolerance and appreciation." Chen Kangjie paused for a few seconds, then he supported both sides of the podium and said jokingly.
Chen Kangjie adheres to his usual style and does not have any manuscripts in his hand, so he is completely a speech that is out of the way.
Some teachers in the audience frowned when Chen Kangjie didn't use manuscripts. They felt that Chen Kangjie seemed to be a little bitch and did not respect their status as Waseda University. You should know that even if the US president comes here to give a speech, it is still a manuscript, reflecting a formality and rigor.
No wonder they did not understand Chen Kangjie's evil memory. In fact, what Chen Kangjie was going to talk about had already been written in his mind, and he could blurt out without reading any manuscripts.
"In a sense, we can regard Waseda University as a microcosm of China-Japan relations. Why do we say so? In history, from ancient times to the present, our two Eastern countries have had deep interactions. Not only are our two countries wearing water and facing each other across the sea, but also, culturally speaking, we are both Eastern cultures. Our interactions can be traced back to 57 AD. From that time to today more than a thousand years later, our interactions with each other have never been interrupted.
Before the Meiji Restoration, Japan sent people to China almost every once in a while to study our culture, political system, science and technology, calendar and sports activities, etc. After the Meiji Restoration, with the rise and development of Japan, more and more Chinese people traveled to Japan. In your university, many revolutionary pioneers and benevolent people in our country have studied, Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Song Jiaoren, Liao Chengzhi, He Xiangning, Liao Zhongkai, etc. They are not only your outstanding alumni."
"Of course, not all of our interactions are friendly and friendly, and there are also conflicts, boycotts, even conflicts and wars. Speaking of these, I am quite heavy and sad. I will never forget the past and the next thing. Whether it is the friendship and support, or the hostility and killing of the past, whether it is me or you, I should remember it carefully."
"When we look at the past from the perspective of history, we will find that in the history of China, there has never been a built-in armed force to Japan. Even during the Yuan Empire, the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty conquered Europe, but never set foot on the Japanese mainland."
