Hong Kong has no cooperation with Austrian Airlines, and if you want to fly from Hong Kong to Austria, you must transfer from the United Kingdom, so you will have to delay the journey for at least two to three days, not that the plane is slow, but you may not be able to buy a ticket.

Since May 13, 1969, after the organizer of the 14th International Congress of Philosophy, the local co-organizer of Viana, Austria, issued a letter of apology and invitation to the global philosophical community, people from all over the world who love philosophy have enthusiastically signed up, whether it is a world-renowned philosophical master or an ordinary philosophy enthusiast, according to the request of the organizers of the conference, sent their respective lists to the organizers of Vienna.

Originally, the organizers of Vienna only thought that there would be a little more people than in previous years, but after the invitation system was fully opened and changed, more than 30,000 people applied to participate in the philosophical conference.

In the first half month, the organizers received soft letters, but they still insisted on replying to the invitation letter to everyone, but in mid-June, universities around the world gradually closed for holidays, and more people applied to participate.

In the end, there was really no way to do it, and the organization that held the philosophical conference could only issue regulations to those who loved philosophy to participate in the conference through various channels, and they could enter the conference without an invitation letter.

This saved a lot of people from trouble, but it also gave Vienna a headache, that is, there were too many people, not only air traffic problems, but also the hotels with local residents were very crowded.

At this time, Vienna was not the main cultural center of Europe in later generations, the music capital of the world, and it was only 14 years before Austria became an independent country, and Vienna's economic development was not particularly ideal.

Therefore, it has become a problem to accept tens of thousands of philosophical people from all over the world at one time, not to mention the large number of people that the Great Hall prepared earlier, which may not be able to accommodate such a large number of people at this time, these things have been bothering the organizers, after all, the words have been spoken, and it is too difficult to take them back.

However, fortunately, the organizers of this Vienna adopted a private self-financing system, unlike the people invited by the previous sessions, the organizers will subsidize the cost of travel and accommodation, otherwise the travel and accommodation expenses of tens of thousands of people are not a little money can be solved.

......

Britain is not very far from Austria, three or four hours away, Huo Yaowen just took a nap on the plane, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he arrived at Vienna, the golden palace of the later generations.

After the plane landed safely, Zhang Chengyi looked at the airport runway outside through the glass window, and his heart was very excited, there were only two days before the opening of the philosophical conference, and when he was chatting with Professor Luke on the plane, seven or eight people said that they were also here to attend the philosophical conference.

Although none of these people Zhang Chengyi and Professor Luke knew each other, nor were they well-known philosophers, it showed how many people participated in this conference, and seven or eight could be encountered on a single flight, and there were probably more dense flights in the previous row.

In addition to Fok Yiu-man, Anna-Isabel, Professor Luke, Zhang Chengyi, and President Le Pinchun of the University of Hong Kong, there were also five people from the University of Hong Kong, including Mou Zongsan, Tang Junyi, Lao Siguang, Chen Bai, and Zhang Zhi from the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

As a Chinese University that established a philosophy department decades before the University of Hong Kong, the number of philosophy teachers and students is far more than that of the University of Hong Kong, and the five people who came this time are all senior lecturers and professors of philosophy courses at the Chinese University.

The two groups of people came by chance on a plane, but after getting off the plane, the people from the two schools communicated with each other, and then they found a few taxis to go to the hotel together.

Thanks to Professor Luke's fame in the European philosophical community, the accommodation has already been arranged in the southeast of the Vienna Opera House, which is only half an hour away from the opening ceremony, which is relatively convenient.

In a taxi, Huo Yaowen sat in the back seat, next to Anna and Teacher Zhang, and in the front seat was Mu Zongsan, who knew Mou Zongsan Huo Yaowen, and he also bought Mou Zongsan's new book "Mind and Body".

"The Heart and the Body" contains philosophy and Confucianism in the Song and Ming dynasties, with an overall length of more than one million words, which can be said to be an academic masterpiece, but Huo Yaowen has been buying it for more than half a year, and he has not had time to read it until now, mainly because the content is obscure, if you want to read it seriously, there are too many materials that need to be checked, not to mention the part about Confucianism in the Song and Ming dynasties, these Huo Yaowen don't understand at all, and he hasn't learned much in later generations, and he is studying in an English school in this life.

Teacher Zhang and Mou Zongsan chatted about this philosophical conference, while Huo Yaowen and Anna set their sights on a huge European-style palace on the other side.

"That's the Vienna Opera House?" Huo Yaowen looked at this ancient building and couldn't help but ask Anna beside him curiously.

Anna leaned out, approached Huo Yaowen, looked in the direction he pointed, saw the palace-like building on the other side, nodded with a smile: "Well, it is indeed the Royal Opera House in Vienna, it has a history of a full hundred years, I came here with my friends a few years ago to listen to a Beethoven opera "Federio", I have to say that the opera performance in Vienna is indeed great!"

The driver in front of him smiled happily in English: "Haha, this lady is right, our Vienna is one of the birthplaces of opera, and the Vienna Royal Opera House is one of the four major opera houses in the world, and the world-renowned musicians Mozart, Beethoven and others are all from Vienna." ”

The reason why Vienna is called the music capital of the world is because there are countless music masters who have emerged here, not to mention anything else, but the famous Viennese three Haydn, Beethoven, and Mozart, any one of them is like thunder.

Anna smiled lightly and asked the driver, "Mr. Driver, do you know what opera is being performed at the opera house recently?"

The driver replied with a smile: "I don't know today, but the day after tomorrow I know that it is Shakespeare's "The Tempest", and I promised my wife to accompany her to see it." ”

"Storm?" Anna pursed her lips, not knowing what she was thinking.

After another seven or eight minutes, when the driver parked the car outside the St. Depaw's Hotel in Vienna, Professor Luke and the others arrived in the car.

The group entered the hotel and booked six rooms.

Because Anna was the only one who came who was a woman, I booked a separate room for her, and the rest of the people were two people in a room, and they stayed for a few days.

Huo Yaowen and Teacher Zhang were in the same room, and after entering the house, they put down their suitcases, and heard Zhang Chengyi say, "Yaowen, I'll go take a shower first." ”

"Well, teacher, you go first. Huo Yaowen replied casually, while opening the suitcase, taking out some change of clothes from it, and preparing to wait for Zhang Chengyi to wash himself, but suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Walking over and opening the door, I saw Anna standing outside the door, smiling and greeting, "Evan, are you free now?"

"How?"

"I just opened the suitcase and found that I forgot to bring toiletries, the one in the hotel I don't like very much, I want to go out and buy a new set myself. ”

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen didn't think much about it, and nodded directly in agreement: "Okay." ”
