Chapter 215 East Timorese Students

A minibus drove steadily on the road.

Through the windows on both sides, you can see a group of teenagers in the car, lying in front of the window, looking around at the scenery with eyes full of surprise and excitement, and chatting together.

Most of these teenagers have dark complexions, clear pupils, and look like they are mixed yellow and black, with a bit of exotic style.

The language they speak sounds very awkward, neither Chinese, nor common languages such as English and Japanese.

There is no doubt that they come from afar......

In the corner of the last row of seats in the bus, there was a somewhat thin figure, who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, and was quite conspicuous among the teenagers in this car.

He held the curtain of the car window with one hand and looked out at the traffic outside the window, and his eyes flashed with surprise from time to time.

At this time, an electric car passed not far from the passenger car, and the driver of the electric car was a teenage Chinese teenager.

The Chinese boy was driving an electric car, wearing a Bluetooth headset on his ear, with a faint smile on his face, looking very calm.

"Wow! What is this!"

Another teenager sitting next to the thin boy, as if he had discovered something incredible, hurriedly leaned over and stared at the electric car outside the window with wide eyes.

"It's not a bicycle, it's not like a motorcycle, it's amazing! And what's on that man's ear, Timor-Leste doesn't seem to have ......."

“…… This is Huaxia, there are so many interesting things, I really want to go down and see it now......"

He leaned in front of the window, and his face couldn't help but show yearning and itching.

"Well, can you give in?"

He turned his head to look, only to see a thin young man being squeezed close to his seat by him, his face embarrassed.

"Excuse me, haha......" He scratched his head and sat back in his seat.

Just as he was about to say something more, he looked at the thin young man and was suddenly stunned, as if he remembered something.

"Eh, are you Gusmão?"

"I'm Gusmão, do you know me?" said the thin young man, a little strangely.

Another teenager's eyes widened: "You are Xavier Gusmão, the only one in the whole of Timor-Leste who has been admitted to the "Lin Han Scholarship" exceptionally?"

Gusmão nodded a little embarrassedly.

When the young man saw him admit it, he immediately asked, "I've heard of your name a long time ago! Tell me, how did you get admitted to the school?"

Gusmão hesitated: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a perfect score in mathematics and physics......"

When the young man heard this, his eyes immediately went off: "Full marks in mathematics and physics? Are you sure you are doing the test paper of the "Lin Han Scholarship"?"

"It's not too difficult......

The young man made a very exaggerated expression: "It's not too difficult...... I really don't know what to say about you. ”

"I've heard that the difficulty of the exam questions of the "Lin Han Scholarship" is more difficult than many middle school examination papers in China, especially the four science subjects, which is simply a proposition! The scholarship winners of this car have scored more than 80 points in mathematics and science, maybe you are alone. ”

"For example, I just passed the science major, and if I hadn't Chinese passed the exam, I am afraid I would not have been able to get a scholarship...... Oh, by the way, how much do you take in Chinese?"

Gusmão scratched his head: "Uh, Chinese just passed." ”

The young man nodded: "It's good that you passed Chinese, otherwise no matter how high the mathematical estimation is, it is impossible to break the exception of admission." What about your other subjects?"

"Except for science and Chinese, I didn't pass anything else......"

“……”

The teenager in this car is the "Lin Han Scholarship Winner" from Timor-Leste.

After the selection, dozens of junior high school students from all over Timor-Leste finally got the opportunity to study in China's top high schools.

Among these dozens of teenagers, Xavier Gusmão is undoubtedly the youngest.

Since this year's "Lin Han Scholarship" is the first selection, and there is no comprehensive score in the past, the entire selection process is two rounds of examinations, especially the final joint examination, which can be said to be a lifelong examination.

In order to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Gusmão, who had just dropped out of the first year of junior high school, begged his father several times to let him re-enroll and skip directly to the third year of junior high school.

The fifty-eight-year-old poor peasant Gusmang was originally reluctant to pay for his youngest son's education.

But after repeated persuasion from little Gusmão's teacher, he finally decided to take a chance, sent his son back to school, and let him skip the third year of junior high school.

It's just that although Little Gusmão is talented, his foundation is too poor after all.

And the second round of exam papers is even more difficult than many high school exam papers in China, so he only took a strange result of "science is against the sky, and liberal arts are all collapsed".

According to Lin Han's meaning, the examination papers for the scholarship selection are basically set up in accordance with the domestic high school entrance examination model, and a total of nine homework courses are examined.

Although the score is the same, the core of the examination lies in Chinese, so the differentiation of subjects other than Chinese is quite low, and the passing score is not difficult to get, but it is difficult to get a high score.

Especially in science, the vast majority of people who take the exam will pass the level.

Candidates like Gusmão, who scored a perfect score in mathematics and physics, and close to a perfect score in chemistry and biology, did not even expect the questioners in advance.

And after skipping grades many times in elementary school and junior high school, he is not yet twelve years old this year.

Fortunately, the staff of the "Lin Han Scholarship Foundation" discovered the talent of Little Gusmão in time, and after discussion, the Foundation and the Ministry of Education of Timor-Leste unanimously decided to give Little Gusmão "exceptional admission" treatment.

Old Gusman, who was originally angry and disappointed, was overjoyed when he learned about it, and spread the news throughout the village that day, running from house to house to show off.

And little Gusmão finally got his wish and became the first batch of "Lin Han Scholarship Winners" in Timor-Leste, taking the first plane in his life to the fertile land of the East of his dreams......

There is no doubt that as long as they go through the most arduous three years of hard work, these teenagers who have won the "Lin Han Scholarship" will completely change their lives.

When they return home, their families will be lifted out of chronic poverty, and they themselves will become the top figures in Timor-Leste.

Due to the students carrying a car, the bus driver did not dare to drive fast, and it took a while for the car to finally approach the destination - Qinglin County Senior High School.

In the distance, there was already a warm voice.

A Timorese Chinese teacher stood up from his seat, held a bullhorn in his hand, and said loudly: "Students, we are about to arrive at Qinglin County Middle School. ”

Hearing this, the East Timorese teenagers in the car were all excited, and there was a little noise in the carriage.

"It's time to get off!"

"Huaxia!Huaxia!Huaxia......"

"Be quiet. ”

The Chinese teacher clapped his hands, and then continued: "Qinglin County Senior High School is one of the best high schools in China. The number of people who are admitted to prestigious universities from here is hundreds of them every year. ”

"Here, you don't have to worry about hunger, cold, or hard work with your family to make ends meet. There are the best teachers here, and the only thing you need to do is work hard to acquire knowledge......"

"The moment you step into the campus, the past is behind you, and the future is in your hands......"

As the bus slowly stopped, the sound outside the window became more and more enthusiastic, and many students and teachers in Qinglin County were already standing at the school gate to welcome them.

All the East Timorese teenagers in the car heard and witnessed it, and there seemed to be a surge of blood in their chests.

"Get off, classmates!"

……

Next to the gate of Qinglin County Middle School, Lin Han wore a pair of sunglasses and stood with Vice Principal Wu Xiang, chatting and chatting.

"I was going to follow you in two days, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself today. Principal Wu Xiang said with a smile on his face.

Lin Han leaned on the car and said with a smile: "I thought I was also found in this car, but it turned out to be a scholarship matter, which made me so excited." ”

"How many scholarship winners did the school accept?"

Wu Xiang said: "There are 16 people in total, ranking first in the country. ”

Due to the very backward educational conditions in Timor-Leste, all the top high schools in China are not particularly willing to accept East Timorese students.

Like Hengshui Middle School and the like, it only accepted a few, and this was after Wu Xiang ran several times and lobbied in person.

Only a high school in Qinglin County, which is at the bottom of the top 100 schools, will be very enthusiastic about this matter because of the lack of international exchanges.

In addition, it is Lin Han's alma mater, so he got 16 places in one go, and he can open a small international student class.

Of course, no matter how backward Timor-Leste is, it is also an "international exchange", and it is obviously not a grade of domestic exchange.

So taking advantage of this opportunity, Qinglin County Middle School can be said to have made a big splash, and even showed its face in CCTV news, which made the leaders of the school and the Education Bureau very excited.

Lin Han nodded slightly: "How does the school plan to arrange these 16 students?"

"I've arranged this in advance, and sixteen people will be spread out to transfer classes, and each of them will have a few special tables. ”

Lin Han was a little strange: "Specialized tablemates?"

Wu Xiang said with a smile: "It is to arrange some outgoing and popular students around them as much as possible, so that they can integrate into the learning atmosphere here as soon as possible, and of course, let them communicate more in Chinese." ”

The two chatted for a while, and then he asked, "By the way, what are you doing at school today?"

Lin Han said: "You must already know about the Qingnan Development Zone, right?"

Wu Xiang nodded: "Secretary Guo has already told the principal that it is said that before the Party Congress, the development zone plan will be officially announced." ”

"During this time, is the school ready to move?"

The development of Qingnan Development Zone is the most important part of the construction of Yunzhou's economy, and it is also the core step to change the economic pattern of the entire East China region.

As long as the innate advantages of Yunzhou City are fully explored, and it is built into a radiation center comparable to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the future Hanbei region will be a strong geographical foundation to hold up Vientiane.

As the most powerful prestigious school in Hanbei, the relocation of Qinglin County Middle School is the top priority of the Qingnan Development Zone plan.

As long as the county middle school moves there, the Qingnan Development Zone will immediately gain the advantage of educational conditions, adding a fire to the development of the development zone.

When choosing a place to settle down, local young people must consider the educational environment of their future children. Such an educational advantage will inevitably have a decisive impact on population mobility.

The fiery school districts all over China are the best examples.

Wu Xiang shook his head slowly: "I haven't decided yet, and it is estimated that I will not move over in the near future...... After all, you also know that with such a scale in the county, relocation is not a trivial matter, not to mention that the funding has not yet come down. ”

Lin Han thought for a while: "I donated 30 million to my alma mater, what do you think? After all, Secretary Guo is also a supporter of the plan, and the funds allocated by the county cannot be delayed for too long. ”

"Thirty million!"

Lin Han nodded: "I hope to be able to build all aspects of Yunzhou, including education, of course." There is no doubt about the advantages of Qingnan Development Zone in the future, and the school will inevitably have more abundant resources when it moves there. ”

"Today's China, political, economic, military, cultural, educational, and so on, are all on the road of reform. After the Party Congress is held, the trend of the general environment will only become more obvious. ”

"In the past ten years, the model represented by Hengshui Middle School has become a new star in the field of Chinese education. In the future, I hope that my alma mater can lead the way. Lin Han said slowly.

"Timor-Leste is just the beginning, and there will be more students from other countries to exchange with Qinglin County Middle School in the future. Qinglin County High School itself will gradually face the world and become a famous institution like 'Eton College'. ”

Eton College is located in London, England, on the banks of the River Thames in Buckinghamshire, across the bank of Windsor Palace, with a history of 500 years, and is one of the top secondary schools in the world.

It has produced 20 British prime ministers, the poet Shelley, the economist John Maynard Keynes and other celebrities......

Including the "man at the top of the food chain" Bell Grylls, who also graduated from this school.

Wu Xiang groaned: "I'll talk to President Liu later, with your donation, it shouldn't be a big problem." ”

"Then please teacher. ”

At the gate of the school, teachers and students greeted each other, and there were many local media nearby, and the scene was quite lively.

As soon as a dozen East Timorese teenagers got off the bus, they couldn't help but look around with infinite longing.

Cars and electric vehicles at the school gate, drones taking pictures in the sky, electronic display screens towering near the gate, and various mobile phones in people's hands...... All this seemed to them to be so novel.

"Gusmão, look at that man...... Doesn't that sound familiar?"

"Huh?"

Xavier Gusmão turned his head when he heard the sound, but only saw a man wearing sunglasses, laughing with passers-by, and boarding a car......
