Chapter 360: AUB's Students
It is not without reason that AUB is the most famous school in the Middle East, they gather well-known experts and scholars from all over the world, even Nobel laureates, and often invite leaders, financial giants and the like to give academic lectures.
In addition to other disciplines, there is one major that is the best among all universities in the world------ and that is Chinese.
AUB offers four language courses: English, Arabic, French and Chinese, among which Chinese is definitely the best Chinese language course offered by all universities in the world in recent years.
In fact, more than 90% of Libanon's small goods come from Han, and over the years, more and more Libanon believes that the future world leader will be Han, which is why AUB attaches great importance to Chinese language courses.
Well, Zhang Wei said that there is a big gap between the rich and the poor in Lebanon. With the exception of the established capitalists, almost all of the newly wealthy classes in Lebanon got rich through economic and trade dealings with the Han state.
Don't think that all the people here are poor! Don't look at Beirut's perennial war, but it's really a model of 'poor poor and rich dead'! When they come to AUB by car, they pass by Beirut's famous attraction 'Pigeon Rock, where apartments with sea views cost more than $4 million and are in short supply!
There are rich people everywhere, and wherever the rich go to live, it is like being in heaven.
Ahem, but as an aside, when Yang Meng went to 'Pigeon Rock', he really couldn't imagine that this world-famous tourist attraction would be like this: reefs, beaches, sea viewsγγγγγγ Beauty is really beautiful, and you can definitely take photos that can be used in photography exhibitions. What does it mean that this Nima sewage is discharged directly into the sea from here?
On one side is the sea of white clouds, and on the other side is the stinking yellow soup. It's a stark contrast----- and the locals are already out of sight!
The people of Lebanen have a strong smell of perfume on both men and women, Yang Meng has always thought that it is to cover up the body odor on their bodies, but now it feels like it is to make himself unable to smell the smell of the sea?
In fact, it is not to blame the people of Lebanon for not cherishing it, after all, after many years of war, the whole country has been bombed! Now Beirut, as the capital of Lebanon, has no running water, and there is a power outage every night! What kind of sewerage facilities are mentioned? Just pour it into the sea.
However, AUB is a rare and clean place, and I feel that this place has not been affected by the war, maybe many people on both sides of the war also graduated from here?
Yang Meng was now pulled by Zhang Wei to the door of a teaching hall, where several scholar-like people were already waiting. Seeing Yang Meng get out of the car, they shook hands with Yang Meng affectionately one by one. These people all know Chinese, and some people speak Mandarin more standard than Yang Meng.
"Dr. Yang, we are very happy to hear that Zhang Wei said that you will come to explain the situation to our students. Your Han peacekeepers are our friends in Libanen, and you are our AUB's friends!" said a woman in a long robe, "I'm Mia Tarim, a professor in the Chinese Department of the AUB. These are my colleaguesγγγγγγ β
Yang Meng had a good greeting with them, looking at their enthusiastic appearance, Yang Meng was really embarrassed to tell them that you were fooled!
He glanced at Zhang Wei, hey, this guy is chatting with a few young students, and he is also there to distribute 'White Rabbit' toffee to everyone. Yang Meng guessed that he was explaining the difference between 'White Rabbit' and 'Big White Free' to that girl, no need to ask, this girl was the girl he said last time he brought him 'Big White Free' toffee.
Well, I have to say that the Lebanen girl is indeed very beautiful, she looks similar to a Uyghur girl, although her complexion is dark, but she has big eyes and thick eyebrows.
Meidi is very!
The group of old professors told Yang Meng that an open class was arranged for him.
Yang Meng was dumbfounded, would he give a fart lesson?
Looking at the group of enthusiastic old professors, Yang Meng didn't know what to say.
"Zhang Wei, you kid owe it to clean up, right!" As soon as the old professors left, Yang Meng grabbed Zhang Wei's ears and wanted to beat him.
"Brother Yang, Brother Yang, pay attention to the image!" Zhang Wei wailed: "I'm doing this for your good." How many girls will pay attention to you when you go up?"
Yang Meng's eyes widened: "Go to the side! You just sold me for your own show!"
Zhang Wei stretched out his little thumb: "I'm just a little bit of light, the most important thing is to establish your tall image, isn't it?"
"Let me go up to give a lecture, or what kind of open class, what do you want me to say?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.
Zhang Wei shrugged: "What do you tell them? Just talk about the situation in China." Let me tell you that our country is famous for its security, and because of the war, what they want most is security, so you can tell them what a safe country looks like. Come on, come on, instead of worrying about those, let's get to know my classmates first. They're looking forward to getting to know you!"
βγγγγγγ Yang Meng turned his head, good guy, why are there more and more students watching? Many people are taking photos around Yang Meng's car, Zhang Wei directly pulled Yang Meng over to introduce Yang Meng to everyone, he said Arabic, Yang Meng didn't understand. But looking at the expressions of those classmates, yes, they should brag to themselves!
When Yang Meng was still there thinking about how to educate Zhang Wei, another group of people came over, but these people were different from Zhang Wei's classmates at first glance, they were all white.
One of the girls, who didn't look very old, didn't know what to say to Zhang Wei, and Zhang Wei and her had been arguing, and after arguing for a few minutes, the girl saw Yang Meng looking at her, and after saying something to Yang Meng, she went directly into the auditorium with the rest of the white people.
Yang Meng was confused: "Zhang Wei, what did she tell me?"
Zhang Wei smiled: "She asked you not to think about her, saying that she doesn't look down on you!"
"Poof!" Yang Meng squirted: "Are you funny? What the hell did she say?"
"I didn't tease you, she really said that, that girl's name is Ruth, just like the woman in "Titanic" who played with the feelings of two men. She's a medical student, well, she feels unusually good about herself, and that's the kind of girl who looks at her and thinks she thinks she has thoughts about her!" Zhang Wei explained.
Yang Meng was speechless: "This Nima is still studying medicine, she should take a look at her brain first!"
Zhang Wei said with a smile: "Who said it wasn't? People from the Stars and Stripes came to study abroad, and they were arrogant!"
"What's that?" Yang Meng was stunned: "The Stars and Stripes are studying here?"
Zhang Wei nodded: "This is nothing unusual, the dollar economy here follows the laws of the Stars and Stripes and is very Westernized, so there are many people from Europe and the Stars and Stripes who come here to study, at least more than people from our country." β
Yang Meng nodded: "Our people pay attention to 'safety first', go to a safe place if you want to go, and go to a good place if you want to go." Naturally, there are few such places to study abroad. β
Zhang Wei nodded and said: "There are not many Han people in the entire Libanen, not counting the peacekeeping forces, and there are at most dozens of them, including international students." Now you know why we're so popular, and I want to take a picture with you!"
Yang Meng pouted and said, "Popular? That Ruth just now obviously didn't welcome me." β
Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed: "I said Brother Yang, what are you really comparing with a fool." Haven't you heard of 'three years of stupidity in pregnancy?' That Ruth just gave birth to her third child last year, and she's still being stupid!"
Yang Meng was dumbfounded: "The third child, how old is she now?"
Zhang Wei laughed and said, "Brother Yang, do you think that the Stars and Stripes are all big cities like New Yorkγγγγγγ? I'll just say that, I'm nineteen years old, married for four years and have children. Do you think a normal person can do such a thing?"
After hearing this, Yang Meng first asked, "What is the legal age of marriage in Libanon, and she got married so early?"
Zhang Wei shook his finger: "No, no, no, you misunderstood, she is a native of the Stars and Stripes, and she was also married over there." β
Yang Meng directly turned into a black question mark face: "What's going on?"
Zhang Wei explained: "Ruth is a native of New Hampshire, New Hampshire, Stars and Stripes, and his home can be understood as the kind that lives in the deep mountains and old forests, just like the Evenks in the northeast who maintain the traditional deer breeding lifestyle. Her husband bought a small forest farm for his family, and his parents married their daughter to her husband----- which was legal. Girls can get married at the age of thirteen. Oh, just changed the law to sixteen. β
"What's the difference?" Yang Meng complained: "This Nima is not yet of drinking age, right?"
"That's why you got married, who would get married if you weren't drunk?" Zhang Wei explained: "Her husband is a Lebanon who has taken the nationality of the Stars and Stripes, and he has brought her back when he fled the war in the Stars and Stripes. Going to school here is full of privilege. But if you think about it, it's actually 80,000 US dollars. His husband is older than her father, and he doesn't know what she's proud of. β
Yang Meng laughed and said, "Okay, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds." β
"That's right! Ignore them, those international students from Western countries in this school are very annoying, and they have a sense of superiority. Zhang Wei said.
"What are they studying here? It can't be to learn Chinese, right?" asked Yang Meng in confusion.
Zhang Wei explained: "It's medicine, and AUB's medical department is still very good. And studying medicine here is a shortcut: the West also recognizes their diplomas, and you don't have to study in a medical school in a Western country for that long. You can find a job without saving a third of your study time. β
Yang Meng suddenly realized, and just as he wanted to speak, he saw Professor Tarim walk out: "Doctor Yang, the venue is ready." We can get started. β
"!" Yang Meng slapped his forehead: "It's really coming!"
