341. On the plane
As Lee Byung-hun said, seven days later, on April 17, 2008, Lee Jun-hyuk decided to fly back to South Korea to celebrate Jung so-yeon's birthday.
However, unlike the speculation of the media and Sun Xiyu, Lee Jun-hyuk has actually passed his graduation thesis this time. Not a master's thesis, but a doctor's thesis! Now, he only needs to wait until the end of August to defend his dissertation, and he will be able to get a Ph.D. in economics from Columbia University.
In this regard, Lee Jun-hyuk's mentor was also very surprised.
At the beginning, after his supervisor learned that Lee Jun Hyuk was going to give up his doctorate and wanted to take the graduation exam for his master's degree, she felt that it was a pity, so she secretly changed the requirements and topics of Lee Jun Hyuk's graduation thesis to that of a doctoral graduate. Of course, he didn't want to embarrass Lee Jun-hyuk, but figured out a way to stimulate Lee Jun-hyuk to stay in the university for another year, so that he could conquer the area involved in the doctorate. After all, there are many people who can get a doctorate in the United States in three years, and according to the supervisor's understanding of Li Junhyuk, he thinks that Li Junhe can also get a doctorate within three years.
What he didn't expect was that his topic was indeed difficult for Li Junhe, but it was only for a short period of time, and it only took three months for Li Junhe to conquer the fields he had not been involved in before, and in the two weeks after returning to the United States, he quickly integrated these knowledge points day and night through reference materials and discussions with his mentor.
Then on April 16, Lee Jun-hyuk's graduation thesis was completed. The content of his dissertation, in the eyes of the time, is a rare masterpiece, and every argument in it is wonderful and direct, after receiving Lee Jun-hyuk's dissertation. The three economics professors at Columbia University gathered together, but they didn't find anything wrong with Lee Jun-hyuk's paper. In this way, Lee Jun-hyuk's graduation thesis is undoubtedly straightforward.
On the morning of April 17, a tired figure appeared at New York's Kennedy Airport, this person was Lee Jun-hyuk. During the two weeks in the United States, Lee Jun-hyuk almost grew up in a teaching and research room at Columbia's graduation university, sleeping only two hours a day, and the three meals were just a random response, even on the phone. They were all turned off by him. So, when the thesis is completed, because of the mental relaxation, the physical exhaustion immediately springs up.
Fortunately, during the 12 hours on the plane, Lee Jun-hyuk had enough time to rest. In this way, he doesn't have to worry about when he arrives in Korea. I don't have the spirit to celebrate Jung so-yeon's birthday.
Lee Jun-hyuk will be flying on Korean Air's Airbus A380 airliner. It is a giant airliner developed by the French company Airbus. It is also the passenger aircraft with the highest passenger capacity in the world, and is known as the "giant in the sky". And in this airliner, its first class cabin is arguably one of the most comfortable in the world. And what Lee Jun-hyuk ordered was a first-class ticket.
Boarding the plane through the special passage of Guò, Lee Jun-hyuk was shocked by the strange atmosphere in the first-class cabin. But after taking a closer look around, he didn't find anything. Shaking his head, he secretly sighed if his spirit was too tired and led to hallucinations. I found a seat and sat down.
Because he came early, after Lee Jun-hyuk boarded the plane, there was still some time before take-off. And the number of people boarding in first class is not very large, so in addition to the two people waiting at the entrance of the cabin, the other two flight attendants are not very busy right now.
"Excuse me, are you Lee Jun-hyuk?" Not long after Lee Jun Hyuk sat down, the two flight attendants in the cabin who had nothing to do walked up to Lee Jun Hyuk and asked in a low voice.
"I'm Lee Jun-hyuk, what's the matter?" Hearing the flight attendant's words, Lee Jun-hyuk didn't think much about it and replied directly.
"It's true! It's true! Hearing Lee Jun-hyuk's words, the two flight attendants cheered excitedly. If it weren't for the restrictions of their status, maybe they would have danced hand in hand.
"Ah, I'm sorry to bother you, may we take a picture with you?" After being excited for a while, seeing Li Junhyuk looking at him in surprise, the two flight attendants asked in a low voice.
"Group photo? With me? Are you sure? Hearing the flight attendant's words, Lee Jun-hyuk asked in even more surprise.
"You're Lee Jun-hyuk who starred in "The Chaser", we just wanted to take a photo with you!" Hearing Lee Jun-hyuk's words, the two of them confirmed.
"Oh, okay then." Very crisply, Lee Jun-hyuk stood up, put his hands behind his back, stood up straight, and then waited for the two flight attendants to take a group photo.
"Thank you, Lee Jun-hyuk, I wonder if we can put this photo on Facebook?" After taking several photos in a row, the two put down the camera contentedly, but after thanking them, the two asked expectantly.
"Whatever it takes, I don't care much about this." Hearing the words of the two people, Lee Jun Hyuk smiled slightly, and then said.
If Kim Jung-hyun was here, let alone let the two of them post any Facebook, even if it was to take pictures, she would stop it, because Lee Jun-hyuk's current state is not too good, he hasn't rested much for two weeks, and now the dark circles under his eyes are still hanging on his eyes, and he is dressed too casually, and he is still wearing the same old black sneakers, sweatpants, and long-sleeved shirts. Dressed in black, it has nothing to do with fashion at all. To sum up, Lee Jun-hyuk is not the image that a star should have at all. Therefore, if you are any star, in such a state, you will politely refuse the request of the flight attendant, and Lee Jun-hyuk, a freak, will not care about his current image so much.
Think about it, in Lee Jun-hyuk's concept, as long as his clothes are clean and neat and he is not rude outside, that's fine, as for other celebrity images or something, he has never cared.
But it was his indifference this time that caused him great trouble after 12 hours......
After the plane took off, Lee Jun-hyuk fell into a deep sleep, until 5 hours later, a shock of the plane woke Lee Jun-hyuk up.
Asked for a glass of soda, Lee Jun-hyuk stretched a big lazy waist, felt much better, and found a novel on the bookshelf at the front of the cabin and read it.
The novel Lee Jun Hyuk read is Zweig's famous novel "The Beheaded Queen", which tells the story of Queen Marie of Louis XVI of France. The saga of Antoinette's life.
"They are just ordinary ordinary people, they are neither cruel nor evil. On the contrary, like most people, he has the basic quality of being kind and friendly. Born in an ordinary era, they may still be universally respected. Sadly, none of them possessed the outstanding ability to cope with the turmoil and chaos and to live tenaciously and steadfastly in the midst of dramatic history. They are destined to die an extraordinary death. This is Zweig's comment on Louis XVI and Queen Mary. It is also the best interpretation of Louis XVI and Queen Mary in this book.
Three hours later, Lee Jun-hyuk closed the book, thinking about Zweig's interpretation of the two men, and then took out his notebook with a frown and began to write on it.
At the beginning, his speed was not fast, and after writing a word, he often had to think about it for a while before continuing to write down the next word, but as he wrote more and more, his speed became faster and faster, and after half an hour, looking at the content of the whole two pages, Li Junhyuk breathed a long sigh of relief.
After asking for a glass of soda again, Lee Jun-hyuk began to look at what he had just written seriously, sketching on it from time to time, like a teacher grading homework for students, and after a while, he streamlined the content he had written before.
After carefully sorting out the above content, Lee Jun-hyuk re-transcribed it on a new page. After thinking about it, I wrote the words "vivalavida" on the top of this text. Those who are familiar with the Spanish language know that this word means both "long live life". (To be continued......)
