The semester time is the same for all universities in the United States, and the winter and summer vacations are also very short, generally ranging from one week to three weeks.

In the past, USC students must still be in class, but this time, with the light of the Los Angeles Olympics, they helped to leave for the summer vacation a few months in advance.

Because this was the first time that the Olympics were hosted privately, it was all about saving money, and the athletes from all over the world were not staying in hotels, but in student housing at the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Southern California.

In a dormitory TV room at USC Business School, girls from the Chinese women's volleyball team are watching a Chinese TV station in the United States. They finished their game yesterday and won their third consecutive title with a 3-0 victory over the United States in the final.

It's not like 20 years later, when athletes can move freely after playing, and if they don't want to stay in a foreign country, they can just say hello and fly back to China. At this time, the management of Chinese athletes is very strict, not only do they have to report when they go out, but they can't run around at will even after the competition, and they have to wait for the team leader to arrange for them to return to China.

The Chinese channel played "Shanghai Beach", and when this movie was made, Wang Zijun and Zhao Yazhidu were not yet 20 years old, and the men and women were young and young. The main audience of this Chinese channel is Chinese in the United States, and it is impossible for them to self-shoot Chinese TV series, so they basically buy dramas from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and other places.

It has been several years since this "Shanghai Tang" entered the United States, and it is the fifth rebroadcast at this time, and it still has good ratings - because of English subtitles, as Wang Zijun becomes more and more famous, many Americans who want to watch Wang Zijun's old films also come to watch it.

However, the girls of the women's volleyball team watched "Shanghai Tang" for the first time, and all kinds of TV series introduced by mainland TV stations must not contain suspected eroticism, violence and other content. "Shanghai Tang" is not only violent, but also the protagonist is also an underworld, which must not be broadcast.

"Xu Wenqiang is so handsome!"

"Zhao Yazhi is so beautiful."

"How can Feng Jingyao be like this!"

“……”

There are all kinds of discussions in the TV room from time to time, and the girls of the women's volleyball team, who were still fighting fiercely on the field yesterday, are no different from ordinary people at this time.

"Waves, waves. Thousands of miles of rivers and seas, a little starlight ......"

Just when everyone was watching TV and was fascinated, the theme song suddenly sounded, and team member Lang Ping was surprised: "So fast, why did you finish another episode?" ”

"It's almost nine o'clock." Captain Zhang Rongfang looked at his watch and said, "Let's go to bed early later, don't see 12 o'clock like last night, the coach will curse again when he knows." ”

Speaking of coaches, several girls stuck out their tongues.

Zhou Xiaolan picked up the newspaper in the TV room that I don't know who threw it, pointed to the photo of Wang Zijun on it and said, "Look, Xu Wenqiang is in the headlines." ”

"What Xu Wenqiang, that's Wang Zijun, a Hong Kong star, "The Legend of Xiang Shuai" is played by him." Liang Yan said.

Li Yanjun said: "I remember that he seems to be from Taiwan, and "Childhood" is what he sang. ”

"Obviously from Hong Kong, I heard that he is still a very famous director." Liang Yan retorted.

Hou Yuzhu was puzzled: "Then how can he be so famous in the United States." ”

"Hey, do you think the woman next to Wang Zijun looks like Xu Xian?" Su Huijuan, who had not spoken, pointed to Lin Qingxia's photo and said.

The team members gathered around to look at it and said strangely: "It's really a bit like it." ”

It's a pity that everyone discussed for a long time, and none of them knew English, so they didn't know what this newspaper said.

Just as they were talking, the Chinese news was transferred on the TV: "...... On August 5, President Ronald Reagan hosted a banquet for Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone at the White House, and the famous Chinese director Mr. Wang Zijun and his wife Lin Qingxia and movie star Audrey Hepburn were also invited.

At the State Banquet at the White House, it is said that two members of the mission said that they had insulted China, and Wang Zijun was indignant and splashed his face with red wine, and the two sides fought in the White House......"

This Chinese station didn't know where to buy the influence, but it actually broadcast the clips of the conflict that day, and even Yokota Knot was pushed onto the table by Wang Zijun with the help of force, and the steak was added to the glasses.

The girls of the women's volleyball team who were attracted by the news were dumbfounded, and they fought in front of the President of the United States at the White House state dinner, so it was the same as making trouble at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

"Wang Zijun is so famous, even the president of the United States invited him to dinner." Zhou Xiaolan exclaimed, they are all busy playing games these days, and they don't know the lively news that Reagan personally hosted Wang Zijun some time ago.

"I didn't expect him to be quite patriotic, what a seed! If you want me to say, you don't have to be polite with Xiao Yue. "It's a Northeast girl who said this.

"You can't say that, now that China has established diplomatic relations for more than ten years, everyone should put aside their old suspicions and work together. Most of them are quite friendly. These words represent the thinking of a large part of the people on the mainland now, and they are naturally influenced by the Sino-Chinese friendship propagated by the political axe.

In many cases, the likes and dislikes between the people of two countries are affected by various factors. For example, in the eighties, Chinese mainland was accepted by most countries in Western Europe, the United States, and Asia, and the Chinese began to become more popular in foreign countries.

Of course, this welcome comes with a complex element of curiosity, pity, and so on.

For example, Singaporeans, when they look at mainlanders, they are a bit like looking at a distant poor relative, enthusiastic and showing off, and very willing to give a little favor to help. Twenty years later, Singapore is known as the vanguard of the United States, and the attitude of a certain Singapore prime minister towards China has simply become a naked hostility of "ciluo".

Why? It's not just that this poor relative is rich.

As an island nation, Singapore naturally has to hug its thighs. As a watchdog in a certain country, you have to show it to your owner, and most of the people in Singapore are Chinese, so you have to avoid suspicion. The reason for avoiding suspicion is very simple: American congressmen are often the most anti-American, and when the US ambassador to China was replaced by a Chinese-American, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is more difficult for the new ambassador to speak than a white person.

As a result, when the [***] virus spread in China, even Taiwan's A-bian showed goodwill to the mainland, but Singapore's prime minister clamored to drive out China.

The girls of the women's volleyball team obviously do not have a deep understanding of politics, most of them have a good impression of themselves, and they have a heated discussion at the beginning about whether Wang Zijun overreacted.

Just as he was talking hotly, the door of the TV room was opened, and Zhang Yipei, the leader of the women's volleyball team, walked in and smiled at everyone: "What are you so happy about?" ”

The team members immediately quieted down, and the captain Zhang Rongfang said, "It's nothing, we're talking about the TV series just now." ”

Zhang Yipei didn't delve into it, she clapped her hands and said: "There is two news to tell you, we will return to China the day after tomorrow, and you will pack your luggage tomorrow." ”

Lang Ping was surprised: "Don't you go with the men's volleyball team?" ”

"Our victory in the game caused a lot of repercussions in China, so we rushed back in advance to make a report." Zhang Yipei said with a smile, "There is also good news, that is, an overseas compatriot likes to watch your game very much, so he gave a souvenir to each member of the women's volleyball team." Come to my room and get whatever you want, and I'll tell you, it's a good thing. ”

Zhang Yipei smiled mysteriously and walked out of the TV room, and the girls of the women's volleyball team were looking forward to going out with her as soon as they heard that there were mysterious souvenirs.

Back at Zhang Yipei's dormitory, as soon as he entered the door, everyone saw more than a dozen delicate small packaging boxes on the table. After signing and registering on the roster, everyone received a small box.

When I opened it, it was a unique brooch by Huang Cancan.

"It can't be real gold, can it?" Li Yanjun stroked the brooch and said.

"Pure gold." Zhang Yipei said.

"Wow!" Everyone exclaimed in unison, there are few people in the mainland who wear pure gold jewelry.

Zhang Rongfang, as the captain, always has a higher consciousness, and hesitated: "We accept expensive gifts privately, don't we violate the rules?" ”

"It's okay, it said above, since it was sent to you by overseas compatriots, everyone can accept it with peace of mind." Zhang Yipei smiled, "Guess who sent it?" ”

"Who?" The girls asked.

Zhang Yipei asked rhetorically: "Who were you talking about just now?" ”

"It can't be Wang Zijun, right?" Zhu Ling said in surprise.

"That's him." Zhang Yipei said, "He is a compatriot from Taiwan, and it is not very convenient for him to come and see everyone, so he taught people to transfer gifts." ”

"Wow, it was sent by Xu Wenqiang, and ......," said a team member, stuffing the box into his pocket and not taking it out again, as if he was afraid of losing it.

When the women's volleyball girl was playing with the gift given by Wang Zijun, Wang Zijun had already flown back to Hong Kong with his wife and children. If you don't go, you can't go, Hong Kong is in a hurry, and the president's daughter here also gives him a headache, and finally threw a few songs and finally sent them away.

Back in Hong Kong, Wang Zijun found that the news here was more excessive than in the United States.

Due to the lag in news, when Wang Zijun returned to Hong Kong, it happened that the news about him at the White House had just heated up in Hong Kong.

Previously, Reagan invited him to a banquet at the White House, which had already made the media in Hong Kong and Taiwan capitalize and close-up, and now there was a storm of him fighting in the White House.

Unlike the more neutral reports in the United States, the news in Hong Kong is almost one-sided towards Wang Zijun, and the vast majority of people believe Wang Zijun's statement that the two said that they did insult China at the White House state dinner.

After this tone was set, the media unanimously approved of Wang Zijun's behavior. Newspapers such as "Ming Pao" and "Gongshang Bao" said that Wang Zi was bold and restrained, and dared to make trouble in front of the US president and Prime Minister. In particular, in the end, I defeated myself with an ancient Chinese song, which was a perfect ending, not only won cleanly, but also greatly increased the morale of the Chinese people and promoted our national demeanor.

However, after praising Wang Zijun's patriotic integrity, "Ta Kung Pao" very tactfully criticized his behavior of pouring alcohol as a bit excessive, and when facing insulting words, we should strive for reason, and we should convince people with reason and morality, and we should not use our hands, especially since that place is still the White House.

Objectively speaking, this article in "Ta Kung Pao" is very reasonable, but it has attracted cynicism from newspapers such as "Industrial and Commercial Daily", "Ming Pao", and "Sing Tao Yuebao", especially "Ming Pao", which has been fighting a pen war with "Ta Kung Pao" for 20 years, and directly sarcastically said: "If it is useful to convince people with reason, why didn't "Ta Kung Pao" tell me about the army of "Ta Kung Pao" when I called back then? ”
