Chapter 71 International Student Exchange Programs
With a slight jolt, the plane finally stopped at the capital airport.
Lin Hong and Sun Wu walked in front, while Feng Wan and the others followed behind them.
Unlike the crowded train station, the airport is much better, although there are a little more people when you first step out of the plane, but once you enter the passage, it is much more empty.
"Xiao Wu, I have already contacted your father before getting on the plane, they should come to pick you up, you wait a minute, you pay attention." Feng Wan said to Sun Wu.
"Auntie, I can't guarantee that I'll recognize my dad when I see him." Sun Wu said helplessly, "When I followed my grandfather back to Shuanghe Village, I seemed to be only four or five years old. ”
Feng Wan obviously didn't expect this situation, and comforted: "It's okay, if you don't meet them at the airport, go to Auntie's first, and then Auntie will call your father when you go back." ”
However, their worries were obviously unnecessary, and as soon as they left the airport, Lin Hong saw a man in military uniform, holding aloft an A4-sized white card with two big characters "Sun Wu" written on it with an ink pen.
Beside the man, there was a woman and a little girl with a good look.
Lin Hong pulled Sun Wu, who was still looking around, and said, "Wuzi, is that your father over there?" ”
Sun Wu looked in the direction of his finger, and the vague impression in his mind gradually overlapped with the man over there, and his face suddenly showed joy: "It's my dad, auntie, my dad is over there!" ”
After talking to Feng Wan, Sun Wu immediately ran to the front, shouting as he ran: "Dad, Dad, I'm here!" ”
Sun Wu was not a sentimental person, when he saw his father, who had not seen him for many years, he only had the joy and excitement of reuniting with his relatives after parting with his relatives, so he ran to his father and immediately hugged him.
His father picked him up and punched him on the spot, laughed, and put him down.
Feng Wan took Lin Hong's hand and walked over.
"Hello, you are Sun Wu's father, Mr. Sun Guodong, I'm Feng Wan, and I communicated with you on the phone before." Feng Wan said hello first.
"Hello, hello, this time it was so troublesome, thank you so much for taking care of my son along the way!"
After shaking hands with him, Feng Wan and Sun Guodong's wife introduced themselves to each other, and in the end, even Sun Wu's sister Sun Xiaoxiao did not miss it.
Lin Hong has been observing how his mother contacts and talks with them. He found that his mother had a lot to learn from in this regard, and there was usually a special momentum on her body, but at this moment this momentum disappeared invisibly, and he only felt that she was very close and friendly. This can be seen from the useful expressions on the faces of Sun Wu's father.
"Xiaohong, come and say hello to Uncle Sun." In the end, Sun Wan beckoned to Lin Hong, who had been staying behind him and did not speak.
Lin Hong stepped forward and said politely, "Uncle Sun, aunt, hello!" ”
"Dad, this is Hongzi, my good brother!" Sun Wu emphasized on the side.
"Xiaohong, you're okay!" Sun Guodong let out a hearty smile and responded enthusiastically.
From him, Lin Hong saw the shadow of the master, the two of them had similar outlines, but his figure was much taller than the master.
While they were talking, people began to come out of an exit passage next to them.
At this time, some students who were bored staying next to them to rest immediately stood up one after another at the teacher's beckoning and lifted out all the things they were holding.
After they appeared, there was a brief commotion, which attracted Lin Hong's attention.
Lin Hong looked at it curiously, and found that the red silk slogans they were holding in their hands were all English phrases or sentences.
The general meaning of the above is that the Beijing S welcomes friends from the United States to China for study and exchange.
At this time, he saw a large group of foreigners coming out of the exit passage.
This is the capital airport, and it is very common for foreigners to appear, but it is relatively rare to see so many at once. So the appearance of these foreigners caused a small commotion, and everyone speculated about what they were doing in China.
Some people who knew English guessed their purpose through the banners in the hands of the students who picked them up outside.
"Wow, so many foreigners!"
The adults were still standing here and greeting, and Sun Wudong, who was bored on the side, also saw this scene and couldn't help but say in surprise.
Feng Wan and their conversation were interrupted by Sun Wu's voice, and they all looked over there.
"What's so strange about this, old hat!"
Sun Wu was observing those people curiously with wide eyes, but a slight voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
He glanced back, and it was exactly what his cheap sister Sun Xiaoxiao said. He didn't expect this little girl to be silent for a long time, but the words she said were so ugly.
Sun Wu didn't care about her in general, anyway, the coming days were long, and there was time to clean her up, and he continued to look back at the excitement.
After Feng Wan took a look, she already knew exactly what was going on, so she introduced: "This is the students and teachers in S welcoming exchange students from the United States. ”
"Oh? Could it be the international student exchange program that circulated in the school a while ago? Sun Guodong's eldest son is already in high school, so he also knows something about this plan.
The "International Student Exchange Program" began after the Second World War, and its main purpose is to strengthen exchanges between different countries in the world, enhance understanding, cultural and academic exchanges between countries, and promote friendly exchanges between countries.
International exchange students are sent to the country of their choice as exchange students, and they study in a local high school for one year, where they attend a local school, make new friends, study prescribed subjects, and participate in school club activities.
China is not yet a full member of the program, but the matter is on the agenda, and the two countries have reached a tentative agreement on the issue.
Feng Wan nodded: "As one of the best key high schools in Beijing, Beijing S Middle School was selected as the first batch of pilot high schools. The American students they are welcoming are also the first batch of international exchange students to come to China. The list of domestic visitors to the United States has not yet been finalized, because there is no previous experience in this area, so I am more cautious in selecting people. ”
Sun Guodong nodded, because of his son's affairs, he is also very concerned about this plan, and he is actively moving around for a while, hoping to make his son an international exchange student, after all, this is equivalent to a rare opportunity to study abroad.
A few people on their side are standing here, and they are quite conspicuous, so soon someone on the side of S also noticed this.
When one of the government greeting representatives saw Feng Wan, there was a look of surprise on his face, and then he walked over with two people.
