The Bush Sr. and Mrs. Bush's motorcade crossed the river and arrived at Dongxing University in Jiangbei, although the Ministry of Education did not recognize this as a university and only gave it the rank of college, but it was built in full accordance with the standards of a first-class university.

The school park covers an area of nearly 4,000 acres, and the entire design is completely designed by foreign teams, and several well-known architectural design companies in the United States participated in the project.

The campus is beautifully landscaped, with a strong Western Romanesque architectural atmosphere, and a large number of red bricks and stones, which adds to a classical and elegant atmosphere!

The elder Bush and his wife were very surprised, and Bush said to Lin Johnson: "Lin, this university of yours is beautifully built!" Before I arrived, I thought it might be more like a Soviet university, but I didn't expect it to be more like an American campus, and it reminded me of Phillips College, which was my alma mater! ”

Lin Qiangsheng recalled and asked: "That's a high school, one of the richest private high schools in the United States, the students in it are all the children of politicians and the rich, half of the graduating students go to Yale, half go to Harvard, it can be called an aristocratic school, you are going to Yale University!" ”

Bush Sr. laughed and said, "Yes, but I joined the army after graduation and went to Yale after I retired, and I have a great talent for learning!" ”

Barbara also smiled and said, "I can prove it!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "I forgot, Mrs. and Mr. Bush are not only alumni, but also graduated in the same year and got married during college!" ”

The Bushes were very surprised by what Lin Johnson knew about them, and everyone laughed and visited the Dongxing School Park. It is not yet finished, so it looks empty, but the school was the first to build a large gymnasium, and it was in this very modern gymnasium that Bush Sr. gave his speech.

The students entered the school according to each department and class, and the teacher had already publicized the discipline and repeatedly ordered it, this time there was no discussion session, and the students were not allowed to speak freely.

Yan Ling is the class leader of the second clinical class of the medical school, she saw that Lu Na who was the first to be a little absent-minded, and asked with a smile: "Lu Na, are you still thinking about your sweetheart?" Isn't he from Bencheng, has he been contacted? ”

"Nope!" Lu Na shook her head and said with some loss, but her eyes involuntarily looked towards the door of the gymnasium.

Yan Ling is two years older than Lu Na, and she consciously wants to take care of Lu Na like a big sister, and said: "Lu Na, let's ignore that negative man, sister will introduce you to a good one, the first class of study committee members is good, he mentioned you to me a few times, and he is interesting to you!" ”

Lu Na glanced at Yan Ling and said coldly: "I'm not interesting to him, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Yan Ling smiled a little familiarly: "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense, but I think you guys are really suitable!" ”

Lu Na shook her head and said, "It's time to enter!" ”

Yan Ling looked back, and then organized the students to walk into the gymnasium, saying that there are usually many people here, but it is the first time to use it as a lecture venue, but the sound in the venue is really good.

"Today we are fortunate to invite the builder of Dongxing Academy, Mr. Lin Qiangsheng! In addition, Mr. Bush, Vice President of the United States, also visited our hospital! ”

When the host announced the name, Lu Na's eyes widened, her heart fluttered and even she heard it, her two hands grasped the placket, her eyes stared at the field without blinking, how familiar this name is, since she came here, she knew that her sweetheart donated this university, which made her unbelievable, how much he was hiding from himself!

Lin Qiangsheng spoke in applause, Lu Na couldn't hear what he said clearly, her mind was full of him, and when she finally saw him who missed him day and night, her eyes moistened in an instant.

"My purpose in building this university is to hope that students will gain a wealth of knowledge and cultivate a heart that has dreams and is willing to pursue them! You will also become the seeds of knowledge that will blossom and bear fruit in the future, and I sincerely wish that Dongsung University will be proud of you, and at the same time, you will be proud to have studied at this university! Truth-seeking, integrity and independence, this is the motto of Dongxing University! ”

Amid warm applause, Lin Qiangsheng turned around and said, "Next, I would like to invite Mr. Bush, Vice President of the United States, to make a speech!" ”

Bush Sr. smiled and waved to the students, and his slightly humorous style won the warm welcome of the teachers and students present.

He walked to the microphone, the scene fell silent, and the elder Bush looked around at the students with a smile on his face, and said: "Young people, I am sincerely happy to see you enjoying knowledge and happiness here!" So, the title of my talk today is Believe! ”

The United States has made meticulous preparations for this Chinese star, and there is an interpreter standing next to Bush, who is of Chinese American descent, and she will directly translate what Bush said to the students.

Bush said: "It has taken quite a long time for the relations between China and the United States to achieve the current achievements. I still remember that after Nixon's visit to China, the world originally thought that Sino-US relations would develop further, but due to his personal reasons and some factors between China and the United States, our two countries fell into a rather long period of indifference, doubting each other and waiting and seeing!

One day President Carter approached me to represent the United States as ambassador to Britain or to an important country. I proposed to him that I was coming to China when the United States was in the north. There was only one liaison office in Beijing, and Carter was very surprised to learn of my decision, but he was also very happy, so I came to China. ”

He said to the students present: "At that time, I decided to come to China to serve as the director of the liaison office, because I believe that China and the United States will definitely strengthen their ties, China is such an important country, the United States cannot do without China, and the world cannot do without China!" ”

The students listened attentively, and Bush continued: "At that time, I was full of confidence in China, although you were in a chaotic period at that time, and the United States was also in turmoil, because of the political war, the United States had not yet ended the Vietnam War!"

Many of my friends, including some American dignitaries, have asked me to be cautious about interacting with Chinese officials, but after I came here, I found a lot of interesting things: China's top leaders are very active in developing relations with the United States, and have a strong desire for Sino-US friendship. However, I contacted some middle-level officials and found that this is not the case, although they are very much in favor of the development of Sino-US relations on the surface, and on the surface they are very supportive of this decision, but secretly they are disapproving of the development of relations with the United States, and even cold, inconsistent, which makes me very incomprehensible!

However, I still believe that China has a desire to be friendly with the United States, and I find that ordinary Chinese people have the same expectations for a better life as Americans. I rode my bike and walked north. The streets and alleys of Beijing have seen all kinds of north. Beijing people, I am deeply fascinated by this kind of culture, they are also very curious about me, wherever we go, people look at me like a rare animal, see that this foreigner actually has a golden retriever! ”

"Haha" The students laughed, the vice president of the United States is very self-deprecating.

Bush Sr. smiled: "Through guò contact with these ordinary people, I see their urgent desire to be curious about the affairs of the outside world!" Later, until I had the pleasure of coming to China again and visited many northern ones. A place outside of Kyoto.

For the first time, I learned that China has so many unique landscapes, such as your Jiangnan, Northwest and Southwest regions, people in these places can have completely different living habits, and the climate and environment and even the architectural style are completely different from the north, China is so colorful and mysterious! ”

Bush Sr. said to the students: "I was thinking, such a wonderful China, such a mysterious China, why did we know nothing about it before, there was too much estrangement in between!" ”

"Happily, by the time I come back to China, you'll be part of the world family, which is great! Only by engaging can the world understand China, and China can understand the world. When I came to China again in '79, there had been substantial progress in the relationship between China and the United States, and China proposed reform and opening up at that time, which as far as I know, was the first reform started by a socialist country, which was very, very remarkable!

We Americans at first thought that China's policy was exaggerated, but in fact, in the past few years, China has made firm progress under the leadership of the new leader, and you have shown the world that China's reform and opening up is firm and indomitable! ”

Bush Sr. asked, "Do you know the changes that China's policies have brought to the world?" Maybe you don't know it yet, but this means that Chinese, with more than 1 billion people and one-sixth of the world's population, will completely change their lives, which is simply a miracle, and you are experiencing this great miracle! ”

"And for the United States, China's reform and opening up means new challenges, I think there are more opportunities, I fully believe this, because you have a population of more than 1 billion, what a huge market, China will definitely occupy an important position on the world stage in the future, I believe this, the cooperation between China and the United States will be deeper and deeper, the United States is very willing to participate in China's modernization, we are not spectators, but witnesses of miracles, I believe, you will get better and better!"

The students applauded from the bottom of their hearts, and everyone stood up excitedly to applaud Bush Sr.'s speech; today they learned for the first time how foreigners view China, how they view China's reform and opening up, and they are full of confidence in the future.

The vice president of the United States really scratched everyone's itch, and the young students unconsciously became proud. (To be continued.) )
