"Huang Yi, Chairman Huang, you're finally back, it's really good!"

With two excited shouts, I saw two young students wearing glasses running out of the house rented by the Chinese Students Association in Brighton, they looked very embarrassed, not only their clothes were tattered, but one of them had a red head. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

They ran up to Huang Yi and said, "Chairman Huang, where have you gone? Why have you only come back now, and I've been paged several times, isn't it inconvenient to reply? Or is there something else at the consulate that you need your help with, can you help us talk?"

Huang Yi said: "Okay guys, aren't those guys coming again? Look at your appearance, don't you, as Chinese, have you not had this consciousness when you join this organization?"

Hearing Huang Yi say this, the two young students were a little stunned, but then they saw Zhou Ming standing next to Huang Yi, so they immediately asked: "Chairman Huang, who is this, is this someone from our consulate who came to help us solve the matter?"

Being asked by them like this, Huang Yi was suddenly a little confused, he turned his head to look at Zhou Ming, hesitated and didn't know how to answer, Zhou Ming smiled and took the initiative to stand up to help him answer: "I'm sorry classmates, the answer may disappoint you a little, because I am not from the consulate, but you can tell me your questions, maybe I can help you." ”

The two young students were disappointed with Zhou Ming's answer, but they still said: "Thank you very much, I think we can solve the problem by ourselves, and seeing that you are so young, you should also come to Brighton to study, if you encounter any trouble, you can always come to us." ”

After saying that, they wanted to say something to Huang Yi, but at this time, Huang Yi first lectured them: "What kind of attitude do you have? Do you know who this is? He is a teacher Zhou Ming from China, he came to study at Harvard with the finance class of the National People's Congress, it was Consul General Cheng Jun of the New York Consulate who personally went to pick him up at the airport, and the US president personally authorized him. ”

Huang Yi's words made them a little confused, and they asked in a daze: "Chairman Huang, which Zhou Ming are you talking about?"

This rhetorical question made Huang Yi even more angry, and he said loudly: "Of course, I often mention to you the teacher Zhou Ming, can there be other teacher Zhou Ming?"

Although Huang Yi's words were very reprimanding, they made the eyes of the two young students light up, and one of them looked at Zhou Ming in surprise and said: "Teacher Zhou Ming, are you the hero who single-handedly stopped the United States from planning a financial war in North Russia for nearly half a century? We have heard of you for a long time, but I didn't expect to see you here, we all worship you!"

Another said: "I heard Chairman Huang Yi say that when you came, our consul general personally went to the airport to pick you up, and the US president gave you the authorization?

Saying that, the two young students were about to shake hands with Zhou Ming, but when they stretched out their hands, they found that their hands were dirty, and when they hesitated, Zhou Ming took the initiative to hold their hands first, smiled and said to them, "I'm also very happy to meet you." ”

Although it was just an attitude, being able to shake hands with Zhou Ming was still Zhou Ming's indifference to their dirty hands, which made them very moved, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

In this regard, Zhou Ming still smiled and said: "Okay, I think now we can find a place to sit for a while, and then talk carefully about what is going on here, such as in your association." ”

Then Zhou Ming couldn't help but take them into the room of the Chinese Students Association in Brighton, but when they walked into the room, they found that it was worse than they imagined: the tables and chairs were crooked, the things in the drawers and some documents were thrown everywhere, as if they had been robbed, and the walls and chairs in the room were splashed with paint, and even a lot of this paint flowed to the ground, and the air was filled with a pungent smell.

Looking at the situation in the room, Huang Yi and the two young students felt very embarrassed, and Huang Yi also suggested to Zhou Ming: "Teacher Zhou, why don't we go outside and find a place to sit down." ”

"It's okay, I don't think the door is quite clean. ”

Zhou Ming said and pulled a chair next to him that was not stained with paint and sat down, and Huang Yi and the two young students saw that Zhou Ming did this, so they had to find a few pieces of paper to wipe the chair, and then put something on it and sat on it.

After everyone sat down, Zhou Ming spoke first: "Since everyone has sat down, then who do I need to tell me what is going on here." ”

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he looked at Huang Yi and the others, but they all lowered their heads, as if they were a little embarrassed, so Zhou Ming had no choice but to name them: "Classmate Huang Yi, isn't it convenient to tell me? ”

Huang Yi, who was named by Zhou Ming, was stunned for a while, he hesitated for a while before finally making up his mind and said: "Teacher Zhou, in fact, there is nothing convenient and inconvenient, this is also every student who comes to Brighton to study abroad, we will tell him, and if he is in trouble, we will try our best to help him, but Mr. Zhou, you ...... Let's be a little embarrassed to speak. ”

Zhou Ming just smiled at this, didn't say anything, and listened to him quietly.

Huang Yi sighed and continued: "Teacher Zhou, you know that our association is now called the Brighton Chinese Students Association, but he was not called this name at the beginning of its establishment, he was called the Brighton Chinese Students Mutual Aid Association. ”

"Mutual aid?" Zhou Ming asked with a frown, keenly thinking of something.

Huang Yi nodded and said: "It's mutual assistance, taking the meaning of helping each other, which is expressed in English, but later for some reasons, it can only be changed back to the Brighton Chinese Students Association." ”

Zhou Ming noticed that Huang Yi's help word used here is 'aid' instead of the common 'help', although Zhou Ming knew that aid would be more formal than help in associations, but if it was not necessary, Huang Yi should not specifically emphasize the English expression, because in English idiom, help is just ordinary help, but aid is more of an important support and assistance in a situation.

More importantly, there is nothing wrong with the name of this association, so why remove the word mutual aid in the end?

"The original intention of the establishment of this mutual aid association was the discrimination that we Chinese students in the United States have suffered. Huang Yi said, "In fact, the problem of discrimination is not only in our international students, but also in all parts of the United States. ”

Zhou Ming nodded, and understood what Huang Yi said, just in the few hours he had just gone from the president's building to the academic affairs building, from the black security personnel to the assistant provost and the president, how much he had been discriminated against, this was still in Harvard University, and there were senior intellectuals like the provost and the president who had obtained a doctorate degree, and they still came with the documents signed by the president himself.

But the result is still the same, and you can imagine what the situation of Chinese students will be like in other places.

"I don't know if you've heard that word, Mr. Zhou," Huang Yi pointed to a graffiti on the wall next to him, "The literal translation is Qing worm, the worm of the Qing Dynasty, there have been very representative insulting words in the United States a long time ago, in the eyes of those Americans, whether it is compatriots in Chinatown or us international students, it is the same, as long as we are Chinese." ”

"In fact, it's not the first time that our association has been made like today, they just want to further bully us, and they can't even help the mutual aid association itself, so they talk about mutual aid. Huang Yi said helplessly, and the two classmates next to him lowered their heads.

Although I don't think there will be a country in the world with complete freedom, equality and the rule of law, at least the United States is so professed, does the police not care about this matter?" Zhou Ming asked.

Hearing Zhou Ming's question, Huang Yi immediately smiled bitterly, and the two young students next to him immediately said indignantly: "What kind of bullshit policeman, he is a robber at all!"

Huang Yi said to Zhou Ming: "In fact, as early as when our association still had the word aid, such a thing happened, at that time, the location of the association was still in the center of the Harvard campus, and the founder of the association at that time was still more influential on the Harvard campus, when the first violent incident occurred, the first president of the association chose to call the police. ”

"Results...... It was our association that was forced to cancel the word aid, and there were more and more violent incidents against the association, and there used to be many international students fighting together, but now there are only three of us left, and the association has moved from the very beginning of the campus center to this completely marginal area, and the university asked us to move because we interfered with the normal order on campus. ”

Huang Yi smiled helplessly: "This reason is really irrefutable, pity here, you may be convicted of racial discrimination if you scold a, but it doesn't matter if you scold the Chinese no matter what, as if our status here is worse than that of blacks." ”

Listening to Huang Yi's narration, Zhou Ming felt very heavy and depressed, Zhou Ming never thought that he was an angry youth, in fact, he was a young man in his fifties, and he could not be angry, but when Zhou Ming heard all this Huang Yi said, and saw the tragic situation of the Chinese Students Association in Brighton, he still felt an irrepressible anger in his heart.

Zhou Ming actually understands very well that what Huang Yi said is so simple, but in fact, there must be many things that he can't imagine, such as the first violent incident when it was called a mutual aid association, but the police were forced to change their names, there must be a very humiliating and helpless story in it.

As a result, the violence became more and more rampant and lawless, and the association had no choice but to move out step by step, and finally came to this place almost bordering the factory, and all Chinese students did not dare to come to the association even if they joined.

The status is worse than that of a black man, Zhou Ming knows that Huang Yi is not really comparing status when he says this, he is more of a subservient helplessness.

Zhou Ming thought of this and was about to say something, when he heard a shout from outside: "Hey, my yellow bitch, get out of here!"
