586 [Looks like he's going to bleed heavily!]
The University of Hong Kong, formerly known as the Hong Kong College of Western Medicine, was also the place where Mr. Sun Yat-sen once studied medicine, and presided over the groundbreaking ceremony of the university on March 16, 1910.
However, the actual registration of the school was on March 30 of the following year, and the official opening was not until 1912.
In the 40s, the Japanese invaders rebelled, and the University of Hong Kong suspended classes, until August 3, 1948, when the school order was rebuilt and the structure was transformed, and it entered a golden period of rapid development.
Therefore, the day of the celebration of the University of Hong Kong is usually held in August, and it has been 30 years since 48 years, and the last time the celebration was 68 years.
Unexpectedly, after ten years of going around and around, I was invited to participate as an outstanding alumnus.
"The school attaches great importance to the 30th anniversary celebration this time, and has invited many outstanding alumni to attend, in addition to you, Sir Chow, Stanley Ho, Eileen Cheung, Kan Yuewei ......."
The 30th anniversary celebration of the school is naturally not ordinary, Director Huang said the names of many well-known people.
"Zhang Ailing, didn't she graduate?"
Huo Yaowen remembered that when she chatted with Zhang Ailing before, she mentioned that she was studying at the University of Hong Kong, but the other party said that the school was closed during the war in 42 years and she was transferred back to Shanghai St. John's University to study, but she didn't expect the school to count her.
"Hehe, I didn't graduate, but I also studied at HKU, didn't I?" Director Huang smiled on the other end of the phone.
"Okay, next month, the third of the month, right?"
Director Huang said: "Yes, you should be able to receive the invitation letter in two days, and I want to notify you in advance when I call this time." ”
"Okay, I'll go then. ”
Huo Yaowen chatted with Director Huang for a few more words, and put down the microphone casually.
"What's wrong with Yaowen?" Gu Long glanced back at Huo Yaowen while playing cards.
Fok Yaowen got up and walked to the mahjong table and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that HKU invited me to participate in the 30th anniversary celebration next month." ”
"The anniversary of the University of Hong Kong? I remember that the University of Hong Kong seems to have been established for many years? Why is it only 30 years?" Chen Fan frowned, when he came to Hong Kong, the University of Hong Kong was already there, and after so many years, it has not been 30 years.
Fok Yiu-man explained: "It has been more than 30 years, the construction of HKU started in 1910, and strictly 1910 is considered the date of its establishment, but later the school reconstruction and reform was in 48 years. ”
"That's right. Chen Fan nodded while playing a card casually, figuring out how the thirtieth anniversary came about.
As he was talking, suddenly the ancient dragon on the opposite side shouted happily: "Hu!"
Chen Fan looked at the cards, and immediately became annoyed: "How did I beat out 70,000, isn't this a self-fire!"
Huo Yaowen looked at his annoyed appearance, laughed, turned around and asked, "You guys ate here at night, I asked Mother Zhang to cook a lot of good dishes." ”
Gu Hong, who had been watching mahjong on the side, said: "Mr. Huo, I won't eat it, and I will go back in the evening." ”
"Hey, I said Lao Gu, today is the honorary president of the association, it's hard for you to refuse. Gu Long heard that Gu Hong was leaving, and immediately blew his beard and glared, he lived with his wife and children in Taiwan for half a year, and he had already been suffocated, and when he came back to Hong Kong, he naturally wanted to find more people to play with.
Huo Yaowen followed and said: "Yes, President Gu, since I came, how can I miss you, it just so happens that I haven't been to the association much in the past two years, and you will talk to me about the development of the association at dinner later, otherwise if outsiders ask, I don't know if the honorary president doesn't know, wouldn't it be a shame." ”
"That'...... Okay then, I'll call back later. Gu Hong thought about it, and it happened that he had something he wanted to discuss with Huo Yaowen, so he nodded and agreed.
……
At about six o'clock in the evening, a group of people ran back to the mahjong table to fight.
Zhang's mother made everyone a cup of tea to relieve hangover.
Huo Yaowen sat on the sofa watching TV with a teacup, and Gu Hong came over and sat down when he saw this, "Mr. Huo." ”
"Is there something wrong with President Gu?" Huo Yaowen glanced at him.
"It's not a big deal, it's in the association. ”
Gu Hong hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Mr. Huo, you also know that the association has been cooperating with your Egyptian book dealer company in the past few years to help publish the books of the association members overseas. ”
Huo Yaowen responded: "Well, I heard that the sales seem to be quite good, and there are not only Chinese readers in the United States, but also many ghosts who like to read it, and they have all published English versions." ”
Gu Hong complimented: "Yes." It's all up to Mr. Huo to help. ”
"Where, where, where ......," Huo Yaowen shook his head and said modestly.
"Mr. Huo was humble. Gu Hong thought about it, and still said: "That's the case, I recently discussed with several directors of the association, and I want to set up a martial arts weekly according to Mr. Huo's Kyushu magazine." ”
"It's also a co-writing?"
"No, no, it's not a co-writer, it's just like an ordinary literary weekly, but it's all based on martial arts, and you know that many writers in the association have average incomes, so I thought about setting up this weekly magazine to make a living for them. ”
"President Gu is really dedicated to the association, this idea is very good, I support it. ”
"Where, Mr. Huo has an overreputation. Gu Hong smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then said: "Weekly, we are already planning, but the association's funds are limited, so we ......."
Hearing that it was a lack of money, Huo Yaowen said with a smile: "Since I am the honorary president of the association, I don't have time to go to the association on weekdays. If you need anything else, I will inform the editor-in-chief Yao of Yaowen Book Publishing House later, where he has a lot of people who have run a weekly magazine, and ask him to seconded some people to your side. ”
"That's great!"
Gu Hong said happily: "Mr. Huo, don't worry, this money is still your investment, and when it is done, I will ask someone to come to you with a share contract." ”
"Okay, you can discuss this matter with Editor-in-Chief Yao. ”
Although Huo Yaowen didn't care about the hundreds of thousands of people who set up a weekly magazine, but Gu Hong said so, he naturally wouldn't push it out.
……
At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, Huo Yaowen woke up from sleep, got up and went outside to take a look, and found that Gu Long and the others had already gone.
Hearing that he was drinking in a nightclub in the middle of the night, Huo Yaowen couldn't cry or laugh, but this was also very in line with Gu Long's temperament.
After Huo Yaowen came out of the bathroom after washing, he sat at the dining table and ate breakfast, drank porridge, ate a fried dough stick, wiped his hands, and then picked up the newspaper delivered this morning.
"IVF – a major medical technology that can change the world!"
Well?
Was IVF successful?
Seeing this title, Huo Yaowen immediately looked down curiously.
"Yesterday evening, at 47 o'clock in 1978, the world's first test-tube baby was born in Oldham City Hospital in the United Kingdom......
This world-changing medical technology was successfully researched by British obstetrician Patrick Stepto and physiologist Robert Edwards, but the first person to put forward this concept was the world-renowned science fiction master Mr. Huo Yaowen, who had predicted ...... science fiction as early as his science fiction creation.
Succeeded so quickly?!
Looking at this news, Huo Yaowen suddenly remembered that when he talked to Robert about IVF a few years ago, although the other party believed that this technology would be successful, I am afraid he would not have thought that it would be realized so soon.
"Click......"
Just as he was thinking, there was a sound of the door opening outside.
Huo Yaowen looked back and saw that Anna walked in with a small satchel, and was immediately surprised: "Didn't you say that you were going to stay at Grandma's for a few days? Why did you come back so soon." ”
"Yesterday I received a call from Director Huang, saying that he invited you to participate in the 30th anniversary celebration. ”
Anna walked into the room, and suddenly there was a fresh smell, "Why do you spray air fresheners well?"
"Oh, yesterday Gulong and they came to the house to play cards, and the smell of smoking was relatively strong, so I asked Zhang's mother to spray a little. ”
Huo Yaowen smiled and said, "I know about the school anniversary. ”
"You got it?"
"Well, Director Huang called me yesterday afternoon. ”
"It seems that Director Huang has found the phone number here. ”
"When the time comes, you will come with me, and you, as a former teacher of HKU, should also go to see the celebration of HKU. ”
"Okay. Anna nodded, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "How much are you going to donate this time?"
"Donate, donate what?"
"School celebration, every school holds this kind of school celebration, someone will donate money. ”
Anna gives an example: "When I was a student at the University of London, a well-known businessman alumnus donated £2 million on the day of the university's anniversary. ”
"That's ......"
Although Huo Yaowen has never participated in the school celebration, he often watched the news in his previous life, how much money a certain rich man donated to his alma mater.
Thinking about such a grand day as the 30th anniversary, I am afraid this step is indispensable, in recent years, there have been no young outstanding alumni of HKU, and he is also the most outstanding one in the past ten years, no wonder Director Huang called Anna yesterday to tell him about it, and found the phone number here to call.
It looks like he's going to bleed profusely.
