Tong Ziru couldn't believe it, I heard him say that he was from Linxi and went to school in Linxi, but he didn't expect him to be here.

It wasn't until the secretary announced the start of the conference that her eyes shifted, and she noticed that the banner in the hall read: "2016-2017 Linxi Academy of Fine Arts Exchange Student Return Conference to New Zealand." ”

It seems that he is one of these exchange students, he can be an exchange student, his grades are among the best, there are only a few places in the school, he is really good.

It would be nice if I could be so good, I used to be at the top of my grade in Auckland, but since I came to Linxi, I have repeatedly hit a wall, and I feel like I am overconfident......

Tong Ziru sighed in his heart, and didn't have the heart to listen to the teachers read out the students' results. About half an hour later, Yu Chengyi came to the stage to speak as a student representative, and she came back to her senses.

Although he did not smile, he looked in high spirits, his long legs walked quickly, and he took two or three steps to the podium, and he did not take the speech.

His long bangs covered his eyebrows, his emaciated face was so angular, and his voice was very loud. "Hello teachers and students, I am Yu Chengyi, the student representative of this event, and I am honored to stand here and speak. For the past year, I and four other students have been exchange students in Visual Communication Design at Massey University in New Zealand for a year. My second degree is in Visual Communication Design, and I studied calligraphy and fine arts in secondary school, so this experience in New Zealand has been very rewarding. I learned a lot not only academically, but also in all aspects of life.

The first is the language aspect. We put a lot of effort into it, because we were worried about the language barrier, so we practiced our English skills by watching English dramas or English movies and the English 6 test before leaving, and took a small notebook to study and record at the same time. I was the only one of the five of us who passed IELTS, so I was the "translator" in charge. Over time, we will have no problem with the language after following the local customs, but due to the great cultural differences between China and New Zealand, we must also learn from time to time.

Secondly, we needed to rent a house, but fortunately, there was a senior at the school who was very enthusiastic and helped us contact the landlord. Daily life requires exercising our self-care skills and interpersonal communication, and we learn to be polite to people of different skin colors. After returning to China, the obvious improvement is that we can cook, and we go out to develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and laboriously in an all-round way, and I think this is also a gain for us.

The main thing is that in terms of learning, we have learned to learn to express. The classroom atmosphere abroad is completely different from that at home. First, they are very encouraging people to learn, so we can often see grandpas or aunts in the class, and they take great care of us; second, we Chinese students are used to the teacher's indoctrination education during class, and we don't like to think about problems by ourselves, even if there are questions, in order not to disturb the teacher's progress, etc., we will ask them after class, but in foreign classrooms, we will raise questions and discuss them together, because everyone is willing to express their opinions, and the discussion will be very intense, for example, about the arrangement and illustration of a LOGO communication, everyone will discuss for a long time because of disagreement。 New Zealand also has a deep cultural heritage. Māori Mandarin is the native Māori culture of New Zealand, which is very simple and beautiful. They also incorporate this element in their learning design.

On behalf of the school, I also participated in the new exchange activities of the Sasha Cultural Society in Auckland, I met many calligraphy lovers, and also let me see some people's calligraphy attainments, I admire it, I think I have learned a lot, all in all, thank the school for giving me this opportunity to go outside to see, I will work harder in the future. Reality is the first thing we should learn when we come out of school, society is not as simple as we think. I think this event can be regarded as a life experience that I learned from entering the society in advance, and I am done with my speech, thank you!"

He bowed heartily to the teachers and students in the audience, and there were bursts of applause from the audience, and Tong Ziru also applauded, she knew that what he had just said about seeing some people's calligraphy attainments alluded to her, because when he said that, his eyes inadvertently looked at her, that is, the east of the third row.

When the conference ended, Yu Chengyi immediately stopped her and asked her to stay.

"Tina, long time no see, remember me?" he bent down slightly, his head slightly lowered to her.

Tong Ziru nodded, "Of course I do." I'm sorry, I lost my phone in Auckland before, and I can't get it on my Facebook account in China, so I'm sorry all the time. ”

"It's okay, fortunately, we meet again, we will be alumni in the future, feel free to contact!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, this scene was seen by many classmates, and many people were a little strange, how could Yu Chengyi, who has always been arrogant, take the initiative to talk to a girl, or that foreign girl, it seems that they have known each other for a long time?

It looks like they're looking at each other a little sweet, and there's a lyric that quiet looking at each other is like a confession, probably this is the scene.

Hearing someone discuss this matter between classes, Tian Tian was a little indignant in her heart, thinking that she took the initiative to pursue Yu Chengyi, but she didn't expect him to refuse to say in front of the public: You are not the type I like. This made her really lose face. She wondered what kind of ability this child's character could attract so many boys.

Thinking of this, Tian Tian hated it.

Yu Chengyi and Tong Ziru chatted for a while after coming out of the moral lecture hall, chatting while walking around the campus, and then he realized what she had experienced in the past few months.

"You're such a brave and smart girl. If you dare to come to a foreign country alone before the age of 20, can your parents rest assured?"

Tong Ziru didn't want to talk more about her family with others, and when others asked, she just said simply: foreigners are very independent. I was a strong self-care student since I was a child, and my mother had to take care of my younger brother and was busy with work, so she didn't have time to take care of me.

That being said, a girl is still a little worried, seeing his strong appearance, Yu Chengyi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. In most families in China, a girl who is not held in the palm of her parents' hands will go with other classmates even if she wants to study abroad, and some parents will accompany her.

Yu Chengyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and after the two separated, he stretched out his right hand along the way to play with the hair on his forehead, and returned to the dormitory with his head down.

After returning to the dormitory, his roommate Cen Jing was just about to speak, when he saw him looking thoughtful.

"What's the matter?" Cen Jing asked him.

"No, I was just thinking that I shouldn't listen to my parents and go to the UK to study design, I still have to do what I love. He sat down and rubbed his hands in his hair.

"Hey, why did you get so fast? Didn't you say you were going to England at the end of the year, why did it change again, could it be ...... Because of Lin Mengyao?" Cen Jing's words were a little ridiculous, and he asked with his arms around his neck.

Yu Chengyi only chatted more with Cen Jing, and he had a pretentious attitude on weekdays, and Cen Jing almost knew about him.

"Don't talk about irrelevant people, I just want to take care of my grandparents and develop my art profession and do what I want to do. ”

Cen Jing glanced at him, and followed his meaning, "Look, as long as you don't regret it, but since you have always wanted to stick to your dreams and take care of your grandparents, after all, your parents are not very in Linxi now, so stay if you want." ”

Yu Chengyi scratched his head and did not respond.

......

Time passed like this, Tong Ziru's life is still very peaceful, she spends most of her time studying every day, and if she doesn't have classes, she will go to Starlight Art School to teach.

The school has a calligraphy association, and Yu Chengyi is also the chairman of the calligraphy association, under his recommendation, Tong Ziru also joined the association, and her daily life is also rich, in addition to going to the calligraphy and painting club, she will also go to the calligraphy association to help.

On this day, she went to the calligraphy association to participate in the exchange meeting as usual, and today the teacher took everyone to appreciate ink painting and cursive writing. When talking about Zhang Xu's cursive writing, Mr. Li said: "Zhang Xu once said, 'I saw the princess fighting for the road, and got the meaning of penmanship. Later, I saw Gongsun's sword dance, and I got the gods. It can be seen that he is a calligrapher of the bold and dashing school, he often writes books after getting drunk, and some people call him crazy, and it can be seen from his works that he is a very vulgar person, and he is not informal. ”

Tong Ziru frowned slightly, seeing that the other classmates did not raise objections, she instead raised her hand to signal the teacher to stop, "Teacher Li, I'm sorry I want to interrupt you." Students in foreign classes often interrupt their teachers to express their opinions, and I feel compelled to say so. Personally, I think your evaluation of Zhang Xu is not very accurate, as far as I know, Zhang Xu is a very meticulous person, although he writes wild grass, but the chapter is very standardized, I have checked the information, he can always inspire the inspiration of writing in daily life because of some small things. Just like writers writing to find inspiration, there is a word in China, I can't remember it, it probably means that there are more feelings, I don't know if you can understand it. ”

Some classmates rushed to answer, "Touching the scene, right?"

"Yes, that's what it means!" she replied with a smile.

Teacher Li was not annoyed by Tong Ziru's words, but became interested, "Oh? Here's an example. ”

"Well, I suddenly remembered Tang Yin, who I learned some time ago, and he had a poem 'Others laugh at me for being too crazy, and I laugh at others who can't see through it.'" Probably Zhang Xu's wild grass also has this meaning. ”

"Zhang Xu is a grass saint, and what you said makes sense. Artists are lonely, many times his works need to be carefully pondered, we can continue to discuss in a while, now look at the following Chinese paintings. ”

Tong Ziru still wanted to ask again, but the teacher changed the topic, from before to now, she is still the student who asks questions and the teacher at any time and even "scolds each other". She is still the confident childlike character of the past.

Chinese culture is broad and profound, and it may really be impossible to talk about it for a while.

Yu Chengyi, who was sitting next to her, whispered softly beside her, "You are the first student to have a disagreement with Teacher Li, you are right, I also think she speaks differently." ”

Tong Ziru raised the corners of her mouth slightly, thinking that it seems that many people are not as profound as her in studying calligraphy, maybe she can really win the grand prize in this Lanyu competition.
