People are comparative, which comes from the yearning for beautiful things in people's common feelings, belonging to the nature of bringing out the mother's womb from birth, wearing not warm yearning for clothes to wear, clothes to wear, yearning for a house to live in, a house to live in a house and yearning to live in a good place in the house, a good place in the house and yearning for a bicycle, a bicycle and yearning for a car, a car and yearning for their own back seat, the back seat and yearning for a special car, the yearning for a special car can make everyone in the world have a car to drive-

Of course, these people are all yearned for by a kind of person, that is, the patient, the patient only yearns for a healthy body, for this desire in the second half of his life, even if he goes to beg for food, it is okay, but unfortunately when the person has this wish, it also means that the person's life time has entered a predictable countdown.

If you know how many seconds you have left in your life from the day you are born, how will you face this life?

This clear answer will leave the vast majority of people in a state of confusion, and if this definite second is exchanged for adulthood, the vast majority of people will throw this idea behind them because they will think, "What if you laugh at 50 steps and 100 steps?"

The difference between living for 50 years and living for 100 years has no meaning in the face of life and death, because everyone has a time to die, the difference is only in a certain sense of superiority brought by comparison, and this is what can satisfy people's vanity, in terms of values, that is, I have gained more than you.

In the three continents of Europe, Asia and the United States, Zheng Jianguo did not know that the entry point he chose had the shadow of hype decades later, and the purpose was also to improve the national comparison psychology of these three countries in order to promote his own research on Helicobacterium.

It's just that Zheng Jianguo still underestimated the traffic attention he brings, as the black Dodge car stopped at the entrance of the waiting hall, through the black window, you can see the glass door with the naked eye, a group of blonde and blue-eyed men and women holding cameras mixed with two cameras arrived at the door, and just when the car door opened, four or five microphones were plugged over: "Wow, it's really Zheng-"

"This is Harvard's secretary of school, Kormit—"

"He's really here to pick up Zheng Jianguo—"

"That's Belinda from Harvard Medical School—"

"Zheng Jianguo, are you going to report to Harvard?"

"We're in the embassy car. ”

Fan Dailin next to him subconsciously muttered, Zheng Jianguo also knew why this group of people gathered around, today is the day of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, and he sat in the embassy's car, although the United States did not make requirements for the color of the embassy's license plate as in memory, but the license plate issued as a national symbol of the Commonwealth of America is also very different from the license plate issued by fifty states (the federal government only issues license plates to the vehicles of its own departments and vehicles owned by foreign diplomats, and the license plates of each state are issued by the states themselves), and it is natural for reporters to recognize them: "Yes, I'm going to Harvard Medical School to report, and if you want to see me in the future, you can only go to Harvard, hehe-"

"Zheng Jianguo, have you seen today's Time Magazine?"

At this time, a voice sounded next to him, a curly-haired female reporter with brown hair and dark eyes and a high nose was holding this Time magazine in her left hand, and she was holding a small interview recorder in her right hand and almost didn't pestle him in the face, and her voice was crisp: "Do you know him?"

"I know, this is the Deputy Prime Minister of our Republic, and he is a very kind old man—"

Glancing over the cover character in Time Magazine, Zheng Jianguo quickly removed the smile on his face, turned around and left after finishing speaking at the female reporter, but he didn't expect this person to chase after him in a few steps, and his voice continued: "I heard that you were harassed when you went through the procedures for studying abroad, and you almost didn't come out, is that so?"

"This is not a problem, but there are some people who want to share my research results by means, but I also dealt with it after reporting it to the above. ”

Zheng Jianguo quickly stopped and spoke, his eyes swept over the Times magazine in her hand, and he quickly said, "Can this weekly magazine give me a souvenir?"

"Huh?"

The female reporter was stunned for a moment, and Zheng Jianguo followed Comitt and the others into the ticket office, and handed the passport in his hand to him, and the latter handed it to Fan Dailin next to him: "Go buy the ticket and reimburse you when you go back." ”

"Zheng, it's been two days since you came here, what do you think is the biggest difference between the United States and your family?"

As the four of them stopped, another reporter took a tape recorder to a few people and asked, Zheng Jianguo smiled at the clicks that sounded from time to time: "The biggest difference is that I didn't have so many reporters when I was in China, and after coming to the United States, I found that you were really too curious about me, but I believe that this is because of the curiosity that you don't understand each other, you will laugh at my English is not good?"

"No, I'm not going to laugh at your English. ”

The reporter who spoke shook his hairy head, pinched the tape recorder in his hand, looked at the companions next to him, and continued to speak: "Because the Chinese I can speak until now is only your name, are the clothes you wear uniforms?"

"This is not, I chose it myself, but what can be revealed is that the money is issued by the state. ”

Zheng Jianguo said a little slowly, but he also knew that communicating with people was the fastest way to learn English, but fortunately, he stumbled to speak, and no reporter said that your English was too bad, which gave him a certain amount of encouragement from the side, which gave him the confidence to say it in the face of flashing lights and reporters: "I have no problem with English, right?"

"Well, except for a few words - but we'll correct ourselves when we listen to them. ”

A reporter said quickly, and someone next to him said, "Zheng, are you willing to talk about your future study plan and research plan?"

"Learning is a happy study, a study, and a happy study. ”

Zheng Jianguo spoke, Fan Dailin in the distance had already raised the ticket in his hand, and then the reporter next to him also followed his gaze, knowing that this person who entered the waiting hall was not accessible to himself and others, and a reporter quickly said: "Zheng, according to my understanding, someone has discovered Helicobium before you, do you still think that you are the first person to discover Helicobacter?"

"The discovery of Helicobacter is not of great significance, but the significance of finding out the pathogenicity is even more important. ”

Fan Dailin walked into the distance and said, but after finishing speaking, Zheng Jianguo turned his head to look at the young reporter who asked him about his study plan earlier, this is a girl with light freckles on her nose and eyelids, and even seems to him to have the same childishness as himself: "If you are really curious about how I study, you can make a track record of me, such as Zheng Jianguo's medical career at Harvard University?" Okay, Mr. and Mrs. reporters, I should enter the waiting hall, let's separate here!"

After smiling and finishing his record, Zheng Jianguo took the ticket and documents from Fan Dailin's hand and went to the ticket gate to line up, a person waiting for the ticket inspection in front of him turned his head to look, then turned back and turned back, looking at the few people behind him and a large number of reporters with a confused face, and then took the ticket and documents into the entrance and looked back at these people step by step.

It was Zheng Jianguo's turn to take the ticket and passport and start checking the ticket, the reporters stopped pestering, including Zhao Liangliang, and the five people entered the waiting hall smoothly, and soon boarded the plane to Boston, and it took less than an hour to arrive at home for a day and a night, and when they got on the two cars that came to pick up the airport and went to the medical school in downtown Boston to go through the procedures, after Comitt talked about where to live, Fan Dailin opened his mouth with a smile: " Zheng, if you don't mind, you can come to my place for dinner, so that you don't have any extra expenses, and you can also live in the house over there, where I share a rented place with a few friends, who are now interning at the city hospital—"

"But, right now, my subsidy hasn't arrived—"

Zheng Jianguo looked at Fan Dailin, whose face was full of enthusiasm, hesitated a little, he could hear that this teaching assistant lived with her friends, if not, it could be confirmed that it was her friends of the opposite sex, and such a statement was likely to be a group of women-people?

Considering that although he is only seventeen years old now, he knows that his current attention will inevitably attract a lot of reporters and even paparazzi, and then remembering that the paparazzi are specifically eyeing celebrities, Zheng Jianguo looked at the high-nosed and dark brown eyes of Kormit next to him, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind: "Are they also Chinese?"

"Well, yes, there are two, Serena Young and Rebecca Chen, and two Kashana Bora and Sara King. ”

Fan Dailin looked at Cormit and Belinda next to her with a slender brow, she wanted to open her mouth to remind this new medical student not to talk about ethnic and national topics, which is a relatively easy content to attract attacks in the current United States, but just when this hesitation flashed in her mind, she saw Zheng Jianguo nod and said: "That's not bad, my spoken English is a big problem, they are medical staff, I can ask them for help if I need to- Mr. Comitt Secretary, can I advance the subsidy in advance? I didn't bring a penny with me all the way, otherwise I would have to consider accepting Mr. Fan's relief. ”

"Oh, Zheng Jianguo, this is not relief, this is help. ”

Fan Dailin subconsciously stroked the long hair next to her ear and said, and then said: "Relief is of the nature of charity, which will give people the impression that you are a vulnerable group, and your use of words can easily exacerbate-"

"I'm sorry, but that's why I asked you earlier if those are Chinese friends. ”

Zheng Jianguo blinked and knew that there seemed to be a problem with his previous wording, and Belinda next to him said with a smile on his face: "Zheng, the money can advance half of your subsidy, but do you confirm that you want to give up the housing provided by the school and choose to share a house with Fan? As far as I know, the place where they live is two blocks away from the school——"

"Then you can think of the exercise on the back and forth as exercise, right?"

Thinking of his study and life in school in the past year, Zheng Jianguo also knew that it was time to add exercise to his study and life this year, Belinda saw that he had made up his mind, so he nodded and looked at Fan Dailin next to him, and said: "That's fine, I remember that Serena Yang and Sara King are still studying very hard, but, Fan, you should not only pay attention to supervising Zheng's study, but also pay attention to helping him integrate into the study and life of our college, thank you." ”

"Belinda, you are too polite, this is my job, I will help Zheng integrate into the life of the academy as soon as possible. ”

Fan Dailin didn't expect that her whimsical suggestion would be adopted by Zheng Jianguo so quickly, and she smiled at Belinda and took over the responsibility of taking care of the goods, just thinking about the strong and shining thought in her heart, and after Zheng Jianguo got a subsidy of six hundred dollars before going to the finance room, she took him out of the square campus surrounded by five white marble buildings, looked at him with a slightly curious look and said: " These buildings haven't been renovated in a long time, so they look dirty, and of course they're actually dirty, and that's the teaching center in Building E—"

Five tall buildings full of historical vicissitudes, Zheng Jianguo's mind flashed the history of the United States, which is very different from the vicissitudes of the appearance of these buildings, and the history of more than 200 years is much younger than the ancient buildings that are hundreds of years old in his memory, so he understands that these should be American-style antique buildings, but this is America.

Memories and realities collided in his mind, Zheng Jianguo followed Fan Dailin to the parking lot outside the building, and watched her arrive in front of a black Plymouth car, Fan Dailin pointed to an earthy yellow building behind him: "If you choose to live in the school, you will live in that ugly Fandi building with other freshman medical students." ”

The building is a brick building, but the original yellow on it has been washed away by time, and now it looks like a spoonful of coffee has become more black than yellow, Zheng Jianguo glanced at the same dirty E Building Teaching Center in the distance, and the color on it seemed to be washed away with half a salp of water for two packs of cold powder, of course, his curiosity was not on these, but on the car in front of him: "You are driving to and from work now?"

"Yes, I always commute by car now. ”

Hearing about his work, Fan Dailin shrugged her shoulders a little freely, looked at Zheng Jianguo, who got into the car and closed the door, pointed to the seat behind him and said: "There are seat belts over there, and those who sit in the passenger seat need to buckle their seat belts, otherwise they will be fined sixty dollars if they are caught by the police." ”

A pair of dark eyes watched Zheng Jianguo accurately find the seat belt and pull it off, Fan Dailin suddenly had the illusion that he was not the first time to buckle the seat belt, and then remembered the confident speech and behavior of this "prodigy" who was obviously completely different from the memory when communicating with reporters, and couldn't help but be impressed: "This car cost me most of my savings, and I decided to buy it just to avoid sometimes having to crowd the bus——"

"Isn't it good to squeeze the bus?"

Zheng Jianguo asked with a curious face, Fan Dailin did not answer his question, but skillfully drove out of the parking lot, only to see her look at the huge traffic roundabout left and right, and quickly stepped on the accelerator to speed up the car to catch up with a gray bus in front, and then said without squinting: "Look-"

Subconsciously turning his head to look at the bus driving next to him, Zheng Jianguo looked through the window at the faces with white teeth that could still be seen clearly, but quickly understood: "Okay-"
