Chapter Seventy-Five: Photographs

At this time, it was the rush hour for work, and soon there were countless bicycle armies and pedestrians on the road, some of them hurried to work, but there were also a large number of people who didn't even care about going to work, and they were blocked on the street, surrounded by Chen Dahe and Oss five or six meters away, looking at the two curiously.

To be precise, he was curious to watch Oss, and Chen Dahe was just in passing.

Oss took a good photo, looked back, and found that there were so many people surrounding him, and there were more people coming one after another, he was suddenly startled, held the camera tightly in his arms, and approached Chen Dahe with a little anxiety, "Chen, what's going on, what are they going to do?"

Chen Dahe was also a little confused, first signaled to Oss to be restless, then looked around, and wanted to step forward to ask what was going on, normally speaking, since Oss officially agreed to enter the country for an interview, there should be no more trouble, what are these people doing here?

He took a step forward, and Oss took a step forward, and the crowd in front of them immediately took several steps back, as if they were hiding something.

Chen Dahe looked at the crowd, looked at Oss behind him, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, as if he remembered something, but he didn't catch it.

Taking another step forward, the group also retreated en masse, but still tightly surrounded and did not disperse.

Wait, Chen Dahe noticed a detail, when he moved just now, those people didn't move, but when Oss moved, they hurriedly retreated, were they afraid of Os?

"Os, you stand here first and don't move," Chen Dahe dropped a sentence, ignoring Os's inquiring eyes, and walked up directly.

Sure enough, no one backed down this time.

"Comrade, what are you doing here?" Chen Dahe stepped forward and asked.

"Look at foreigners," said a young man in his twenties who looked like a worker, with a little curiosity, "I have never seen a foreigner, so I came to see if it really looked different from us, and did the people over there look like that?"

"Yes, what a strange look, the eyes are blue, the hair is yellow, and the skin is frighteningly white, isn't there something sick?" A forty or fifty-year-old aunt looked at Oss without turning her eyes, obviously talking to Chen Dahe, but she didn't look at him.

Chen Dahe sweated wildly, it turned out to be like this, and then I remembered that when I was in elementary school in my last life, there was no content in the ideological and moral class that foreign guests were not allowed to watch, and later I was still laughing, what did foreign guests have to watch, and it was specially written into the textbook, but I didn't expect that there would really be such a thing.

He turned back to Oss and smiled wryly, "Os, they're welcoming you. ”

"Huh?" Oss looked at him in amazement, "Welcome to me? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Yes, I'm pretty sure," Chen Dahe nodded, "Okay, relax, although the way of expression is a little strange, they are very welcoming, aren't they." ”

"Well, well," Oss said after seeing that these people were indeed just gathered there, showing no malicious tendencies, and shrugged, "Your way of welcoming you is really unique, the last time I came to Guangzhou, I only did some indoor interviews in your government building, and I didn't appear in a public place, so I didn't encounter this kind of situation, which surprised me a little. ”

Chen Dahe also laughed, looked at the people around him, and suddenly remembered an old photo that he had seen many times in his previous life, when Pier Cardin visited China for the first time, he also caused a sensation on the streets of the capital, he walked in the middle of a group of Chinese workers in blue overalls, wearing a long black woolen coat, a scarf around his neck at random, and the people on both sides and behind him moved with his footsteps, attracting everyone's attention.

Chen Dahe looked at Os, who was wearing a white T-shirt on the top, blue jeans on the bottom, and white sneakers, and said with a smile, "Os, I have a good idea,"

"What?" Oss had a sense of foreboding.

Chen Dahe pointed to the crowd around him, "How about taking a photo with them?"

"Uh," Oss turned his neck a little stiffly and looked around, "I don't think it's a good idea. ”

"No, of course it's a good idea, maybe it will go down in history," Chen Dahe laughed, "You can't be scared, right? You said you were a war correspondent before." ”

"Don't provoke me, it's useless," Oss laughed, "and I don't think it's going down in history." ”

"Why not?" Chen Dahe raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you making history now, after many years, the first American journalist to go to China to conduct interviews, wouldn't it be more meaningful to add another photo like this?" ”

Oss tilted his head for a moment, then said, "Well, you convinced me, now, you need to convince them." ”

"It's very simple, look at me," Chen Dahe finished speaking, and walked towards the crowd.

"Comrades," Chen Dahe shouted, while pulling out a small notebook from his trouser pocket, which was the temporary work card that the comrade from the United Front Work Department had given him in the morning.

Holding his temporary work card high in the air and shaking it at everyone," I am a staff member of the United Front Work Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and I have accompanied this comrade reporter who has come all the way from the United States to understand our country and introduce my country to the world.

When the words fell, there was silence on the scene, and just as Chen Dahe wanted to say a few more words, the young worker who was asked earlier shouted, "Take a photo with foreigners? There is such a good thing? You didn't lie to us, did you?"

Well, Chen Dahe was full of black lines, and he thought they didn't want to, because he couldn't believe that good things would fall on his head, no wonder, taking photos these days is not cheap, let alone taking photos with foreign guests, it's strange that they don't agree.

"Of course it's true," Chen Dahe pointed at Oss and said, "The foreign guests are also there, and the cameras are also there, so why lie to you." ”

"That's good, that's good," the aunt who was worried about Os's illness was also full of excitement, and she wasn't even afraid of illness, "You say, how do you shoot it?"

Everyone else agreed, and none of them were unwilling, so dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Chen Dahe, waiting for his instructions.

Chen Dahe looked around and pushed forward with both hands, "In this way, everyone listen to my command and take ten steps back together." ”

The people of these years were indeed forbidden, and with the number of reports in the mouth of Chen Dahe, they retreated in unison, occupying almost half of the street.

"Os, come here," Chen Dahe turned around and beckoned to Os, who had been standing in place, "Give me the camera, your camera is better, just use your shot, you stand among them." ”

Oss smiled bitterly and took off the camera and handed it over, "Okay Chen, but will you use this?"

Chen Dahe pouted, "Isn't it just a camera, what's ......?"

After fiddling with it twice, he decisively handed it back to Oss, "I won't use it, teach it." ”

Later generations used full-autofocus SLR cameras, this kind of complex operation of the reflex camera has never been seen, of course, ask for help, do not understand to ask is a good child.

Oss consciously adjusted the angle and focus, then walked to the middle of the crowd, turned to face Chen Dahe, the corners of his mouth hooked, smiling, surrounded by many citizens in gray-blue clothes.

Chen Dahe's body bent slightly, and he made an artificial shutter according to Oss's teaching, and with a click, this moment was fixed and became a rare and precious image.
