The fact that Reagan and his wife, Nancy, took the initiative to walk down the steps in front of the White House and go up to shake hands with Yasuhiro Nakasone shows how much face this prime minister has, and not what his successors will be like twenty years later.

Today's close to China and South Korea has a great impact on the entire Southeast Asian region, but it is just a matter of severing diplomatic relations with Taiwan, China. Britain, France, and other countries are also looking at Yueben as equals, and even the United States does not dare to regard Yueben as a little brother who is called at will, because this down-and-out little brother has already developed.

Of course, perhaps the United States is treating this little brother of its own as a fat pig to be slaughtered, serving it with good food and drink before slaughtering.

The moment Reagan and Yasuhiro Nakasone shook hands, a flash light lit up, and Wang Zijun also applauded gently along with the other guests.

The two leaders exchanged a few words of greeting, and then entered the White House together, and Wang Zijun and they could only follow behind.

The furnishings in the state banquet hall are obviously deliberately imitating the taste of the French court, but painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, although Wang Zijun is not a professional art appraisal master, he can also smell the smell of American raw beef on these exquisite oil paintings, tables and chairs, tableware, chandeliers, etc.

There were more than 180 people attending the banquet today, and there were only about 80 female guests.

There are twenty round tables in the dining room, and the tableware on the table is golden, and Wang Zijun doesn't know if it's real gold, but he can tell that the plates are porcelain, but the glaze on them is golden.

The seating of the guests was arranged by today's hostess, the president's wife, Nancy, and Wang Zijun's table was composed of several celebrities in the arts and entertainment circles, both in person and American.

After everyone was seated, Reagan raised his glass and said, "Warmly welcome His Excellency Yasuhiro Nakasone, and let us toast to the friendship between the United States and the United States!" ”

"Cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses in unison, and Wang Zijun and Lin Qingxia were very embarrassed in the middle. So far, he has not understood why the Americans invited him to dinner, but asked the Chinese to accompany him.

Wang Zijun didn't raise his glass, took a sip of wine casually and sat down.

There were eight people sitting at his table, Lin Qingxia and Audrey Hepburn on the left and right. Next to Lin Qingxia are two middle-aged people, and next to Hepburn is an old man, a woman in her 30s; And Wang Zijun is directly opposite, is an old woman.

After clinking glasses, the guys at the table began to talk in Chinese. Although Wang Zijun is not very proficient in the Chinese language, he can basically understand their conversation.

Two middle-aged young people themselves visited with Prime Minister Saimoto, one is called Nishikawa Yakumo, and the other is called Yokota Yuki. These two guys are obviously right-wingers, and the content of the conversation made Wang Zijun quite unhappy.

The old man here is an American-American, named Isamu Noguchi, a world-class sculptor and designer. The woman in her 30s is called Kazue Nakata, who has lived in the United States for a long time, but is still a natural. The last old woman's name was Yamashita Kyoko, and she was an American-American writer, and she didn't say a word after she was served, but just listened all the time.

The whole table is naturally the most famous with Wang Zijun and Audrey Hepburn, no matter which line they are, they all know them.

Regarding Wang Zijun's attitude, Nishikawa Yakumo and Yokota Yue were disdainful, and there was quite a taste of provocative contempt in their eyes. Isamu Noguchi is peaceful and kind, not looking down or looking down; Kazue Nakata is obviously a fan of Audrey Hepburn, and has been pulling Audrey Hepburn to talk since the table.

As for the old woman Kyoko Yamashita, she is keeping her distance from everyone.

"Noguchi-senpai, did you hear that you are going to design a large park for Sapporo City?" Nishikawa Yakumo asked the old man respectfully.

Noguchi smiled kindly, "There was an invitation from Ben's side, but I haven't officially agreed yet." ”

Yokota said, "It would be a great honor if Sapporo could invite Noguchi seniors, and I ask the seniors not to refuse." ”

"When people are old, they don't have enough energy, and I'm afraid I won't be able to complete too ambitious engineering designs." Isamu Noguchi said with a slight shake of his head.

Nishikawa Yakumo said with a smile: "Noguchi-senpai is in the prime of life, how can he not have enough energy. ”

Isamu Noguchi smiled and didn't speak again.

Wang Zijun saw that he ignored him, and he didn't bother to deal with others, helping Lin Qingxia and Audrey Hepburn cut food, and the three of them were comfortable talking and laughing.

Who knew that it didn't take long for Noguchi Yong to suddenly ask in a Chinese with a Hunan accent: "Mr. Wang, hello, do you know Master Yue Lun?" ”

Wang Zijun was taken aback by this sudden inquiry, he didn't expect this old man to actually know Chinese. He thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, old man, I don't know any Master Yue Lun. ”

"Alas, it seems that I will not be able to find him in this life." Noguchi sighed.

Could it be that Yue Lun is a good friend of Isamu Noguchi? Wang Zijun thought a little maliciously, but asked in his mouth: "Who is Master Yue Lun in the mouth of the old gentleman?" Maybe I can help keep an eye on it. ”

"He was a great sculptor and one of the founders of modern sculpture in China. Unfortunately, I've been missing him for forty years. Isamu Noguchi said with some regret, "We used to be friends, but because of the war between China and China, there were conflicts, and we finally broke up." Over the years, whenever I met a Chinese, I would inquire about his whereabouts, but unfortunately he seemed to have evaporated from the world. The last thing he said to me was that he was going to throw down his carving knife and join the army, and maybe, maybe he was already dead on the battlefield. ”

When the old man said this, the regret and nostalgia on his face made Wang Zijun interested in their previous affairs, and he couldn't help but ask: "Old man, can you tell me the story between you?" ”

"It's been years, I want to think about it." Noguchi Yumichi.

The content of Noguchi Yong's story surprised Wang Zijun, it turned out that this old guy was actually the ex-husband of the famous Li Xianglan (the one who sang "Night Fragrance").

Isamu Noguchi was born in Los Angeles, his father was a poet, and his mother was an American writer, so he was actually a mixed-race American. This gentleman first studied medicine, and later fell in love with sculpture, so he went to France to worship the idol Brancusi as a teacher. And Yue Lun, as he spoke, was also studying in France at that time, and his mentor was Bourdel, the first French sculptor at that time.

Yue Lun was very talented and capable, and at that time he set up his own sculpture studio in France, and his works also won awards at the Salon Exhibition. The two met at the salon exhibition, and because their ideas and artistic tendencies were Oriental, they hit it off at first sight and chatted very happily.

Later, Yue Lun returned to China, and Noguchi traveled to the Soviet Union and China, and finally studied ink painting and Chinese gardening with Qi Baishi in Beijing. Noguchi Yong's Chinese was also learned with Qi Baishi at that time, so he had a Hunan accent.

Wang Zijun's mouth couldn't help but open wide when he listened, this guy is not only Li Xianglan's ex-husband, but also a disciple of Master Qi Baishi.

"After I said goodbye to Master Qi, I returned to my father's style of studying Zen in the garden, and my thinking was also influenced by Zen Buddhism. When I met my brother-in-law again, he rebuked me for militarism and asked me to work with him on a large-scale exhibition of anti-war sculptures. I refused, I think art should not be mixed with political and military struggles, that would be impure. He thought I was supporting the war, and in the end I broke up, and that was the last time I saw him. Noguchi said with a self-deprecating smile, "At that time, my country was full of fanatical militaristic thinking, and I came to the United States again to stay away from politics and war. I thought I could stay out of it, but I didn't expect to get involved. Because I am half of my ancestry, I ended up under house arrest in a forced detention center by the American political axe......"

Wang Zijun was silent, he didn't know what to say.

Isamu Noguchi was already an international sculptor and designer at this time, and he was very famous in Yumoto. Seeing that Master Isamu Noguchi had been chatting with a Chinese for so long, and that he was still in Chinese that he did not understand, Nishikawa Yakumo said to Yokota Yuki beside him in a rather depressed language: "Today is a state banquet for Prime Minister Yoshimoto, how could President Reagan invite this idiot Chinese?" ”

"Who knows?" Yokota said, "This Wang Zike is an anti-Japanese element, and his "Bloody Lonely City" deliberately scandalizes us and ourselves. It is sad that so many ignorant young people regard him as an idol. ”

Nishikawa Yakumo said: "I think that his films should have been banned from entering the country, otherwise those stupid citizens would never have realized this." ”

"yes, especially those bastard traitors!" Yokota Yu gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that last year, there were more than 50 veterans who went to Nanjing, China to confess, which is simply unreasonable. These filthy Chinese animals, it would be better to die more......"

The conversation between the two was so quiet that even the other people at the table couldn't hear it clearly. However, due to special reasons, Wang Zijun is now deaf and clear-sighted, but he hears clearly.

Wang Zijun shook the red wine in the cup, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and suddenly raised his hand to spill the wine in the cup, and poured Yokota Yu's face with a split face.

"Yaga!" Yokota Yuki was suddenly attacked, and almost reflexively stood up and yelled, and then the entire banquet hall looked over.

Seeing the red wine on Yokota's face, his eyes couldn't be opened, and everyone knew that there was an accident, and the entire banquet hall suddenly fell silent. The other people at the same table also looked at Wang Zijun in surprise, wondering why he made such an astonishing move.

Yokota was still wiping the wine on his face, and Nishikawa Yakumo pointed at Wang Zijun angrily and said, "Yaga, you are so presumptuous at the president's banquet, and you don't take the dignity of the United States and the political axe in your eyes at all. Mr. President, I propose to expel this fellow who does not know the deceitful manners immediately......"
