Chapter Seventy-Three: BCC Television
The students in the square are studying diligently, most of them are normal ages, but there are also some young people in their twenties or even thirties, although they are not young, but they also have dreams, Liu Lang's parents looked at these people and fell into deep thought, as if recalling their past.
At this time, a jeep stopped in a corner of the square, the license plate of the car was very different from that of an ordinary car, the license plate of a normal car was blue, and the car was black.
"Diplomatic vehicles?"
Liu Lang knew that the cars with black license plates were all foreign-related vehicles.
The car door opened, and three people came down, two men and one woman, two men carrying a video camera, they set up the camera, facing the city tower in the distance, and another woman, about thirty-two or thirteen years old, she stood in front of the camera with a microphone.
"Are you ready?"
A videographer asked the woman.
“OK!”
The woman gestured, and the camera immediately activated.
As we all know, in February this year, Prime Minister Thatchel announced in the National Assembly that the return of Hong Kong Island needs to be cautious and should not be fully accepted according to the requirements of the Chinese leaders.
We have reason to doubt that China can govern Hong Kong Island well, whether it can make Hong Kong Island achieve a smooth transition, in our opinion, China's own internal education problems have not been solved, talent is a big problem, now there is still a month before China's annual college entrance examination, many students are studying diligently, but their learning environment is very bad, can only be reviewed with the help of street lamps on the street, and the education received in the university is also worrying, in this educational environment can cultivate outstanding talents is also questionable, if there is not a sound talent training mechanismMore than a decade later, whether this huge bloated country will be able to manage itself is a big question......... ”
As she spoke, the hostess took the camera to shoot the students sitting on the floor, as if to confirm her claim.
The other party spoke English, and I am afraid that few people in the entire square could understand it, but Liu Lang really listened to it without missing a word.
Liu Lang's English level in his previous life was also level four, of course, level four English level is "can't understand and speak" In this life, Liu Lang began to teach himself English when he was at home, even if there are not many English books in this era, but there are still the most ordinary Chinese-English dictionaries in Xinhua Bookstore, he let his father buy back a copy, and in half a year, he memorized all the dictionaries with a strong memory, and the vocabulary is there, plus Liu Lang's grammar foundation in his previous life, as long as he practices for a short time, Liu Lang is confident that his English level will definitely not be lower than those English majors, and now, every word the other party says, he listens to it in his ears, and he understands it completely。
"BCC?BCC Radio in the UK?"
Liu Lang remembered this British TV station.
In the past, BCC was known for producing excellent documentaries in China, many of which were absolutely world-class, and their contributions to the natural sciences were obvious to all, but in the same way, the station's coverage of politics was also known as China's black China.
In their mouths, as long as they are on the side with China, they will spare no effort to black, and the goods made in China are called inferior goods by them, and the Chinese travel abroad are said to be of low quality.
Maybe they have a point, but don't forget, there are two sides to everything, China also has good products, and China also has excellent talents, but they can't see these excellent sides at all, just for the sake of black.
No, these guys are getting dark here again.
This year is 1983, and Liu Lang knows that this period of time should be the most intense time for the negotiations between China and Britain on the issue of the return of Hong Kong Island, and the two sides are at loggerheads on the issue of how to deal with the matter after the return.
In Britain's view, the practice of Hong Kong Island is the so-called "democratic system," which is fundamentally different from the way Chinese mainland governs the country, plus they have all kinds of ulterior motives, so they have been fiddling with right and wrong on this issue, hoping to prevent China from recovering Hong Kong Island on time; of course, the Chinese leaders will not back down, and the sovereignty issue cannot be retreated; in the end, it should be Deng Gong who creatively proposed the method of "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong" to solve this problem, and finally the two sides signed the "Sino-British Joint Declaration" at the end of August 4 , ending a debate that had lasted for years.
However, in '83, this statement had not yet been signed, and these blackmen questioned China's education here in order to gain a favorable side for Britain.
If Liu Lang didn't understand, forget it, but now, he didn't want their conspiracy to succeed.
Liu Lang couldn't help but walk towards the group.
The camera was directed at a shirtless young man, who was stunned for a moment, unable to understand what he was saying.
"As you can see, these students are in rags, their lives are not guaranteed, and how can they enjoy the right to education that they have won?
The hostess was in the dark again in front of the camera.
"Damn, this can be black too?"
Liu Lang was so angry that he almost laughed.
Now it is about to enter June, the temperature in the capital is up to 267 degrees, and now the temperature in the square is also about 20 degrees, and the average person only wears a thin cloth shirt, this young man was running in the square just now, covered in sweat, taking off his clothes and taking advantage of the cold, but when he came to the mouth of these people, it became ragged.
"It doesn't seem like you're judging people in other people's homes, is that not in keeping with your so-called gentlemanly manners?"
Liu Lang came to the front and asked directly in English.
"You...... Huh, a kid?"
Several Britons were stunned.
It's rare for a child to be able to speak English.
In the early eighties, there were very few people who could speak English, except for the older generation who had stayed in school, because English classes did not begin to be widely studied throughout the country until '84, that is to say, even if they were college students, few people understood them, except for those who were professional students of the Foreign Affairs Academy, let alone this kid who seemed to be only four or five years old.
"You can actually speak English? It's amazing, it's amazing!"
The hostess looked surprised, and at the same time her hand touched Liu Lang's chubby little face.
"Don't mess around!"
Liu Lang blocked with his hand.
"Hehe, it's quite grumpy, is your dad British or mom British?"
The hostess asked again, in her eyes, only children whose family members were British could speak English.
