Chen Lin saw that Bush's father was flipping through the comics, and hurriedly introduced the characteristics of this comic book, which integrated many traditional Chinese Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhist cultures, and there were many Chinese stories of gods and ghosts.

After hearing this, Bush nodded again and again, and gradually became interested, and he understood what Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism were.

Influenced by Bush Sr., the Bush family has been interested in Chinese culture since childhood. Speaking of which, the "love and sorrow" between the Bush family and China has been completely established in the interaction of nearly 40 years, and some people even say that in addition to the well-known "western cowboy gene," the Bush family also has a Chinese complex called "second-sequence DNA."

If you are walking in the 1975 Bei*jing Hutong, you may collide with a few "foreigners" who pedal bicycles because they can't dodge and have a lot of fun, and you can't help but wonder a little about these strange tourists: "Where did the 'flying immortals' come from?" What are you wandering around, where to go back and forth! Of course, you don't know that at least two of them will enter the White House in the future, maybe the one who was slashed at by you is George W. Bush, and you have won the jackpot once.

In 1974, American politics was in turmoil by the Watergate scandal. The elder Bush, who was bent on staying away from the "nest of right and wrong," unexpectedly chose to go to China, which had not yet restored relations, to become the director of the liaison office in China. Later, the elder Bush described this "wonderful time" in his "China Diary": When I first came to China to go out in a luxury Chrysler car, I fell in love with bicycles in less than a month.

In the summer of the following year, the "duo" of the elder Bush and his wife was expanded into a "bicycle team" by the three Bush brothers and sisters who came to visit their relatives. They drove slowly across Chang'an Avenue.

This "Beijing Summer Story" has become one of the most precious treasures of the Bush family, so much so that Bush Sr. and Bush Jr., who came to attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics more than 30 years later, bluntly said that "I feel like I am going home."

A comic book containing Chinese culture evoked memories of Father Bush, who pulled Chen Lin to sit down on a small wooden bench in the courtyard.

Chen Lin was a loyal listener, mainly because Bush's father was talking.

"My trip to China in 1975 was a very pleasant experience. It's really great. I still remember how weird people thought I was. At that time, there was not much contact with the West. Suddenly, they saw an American riding a bicycle between them. They were surprised. ”

Dad talked to Chen Lin about his first Chinese memory.

In addition to unforgettable memories of cycling, Daddy can't part with Chinese food, and his favorite is Bei*Beijing roast duck, which is crispy and has an endless aftertaste.

Their family's favorite five-course meal at the Bei*Beijing Restaurant: Bei*Beijing roast duck, salt-and-pepper prawns, Bei*Beijing-style lamb chops, dry-fried shredded beef, and dry-roasted green beans. Daddy dubbed the five-course "Bush menu."

Speaking of happiness, Bush's father actually began to speak "American-style Beijing dialect", and he recited a song of Li Bai's "Silent Night Thoughts" with great interest in his unique American accent.

Bright moonlight in front of the bed,

It is suspected to be frost on the ground.

Raise your head to look at the bright moon,

Bow your head and think of your hometown.

At the end, Dad also joked: "The moon in China is brighter than the moon in the United States!" ”。

"Daddy, you're the one." Chen Lin unconsciously changed his name to Daddy, and he gave a thumbs up.

Daddy Bush laughed, and at this time, two little loli ran over and interrupted the chat.

"Brother Jason. The comics are so beautiful, but there are some places we can't read? The two little Loli both stared at a pair of big royal blue eyes and asked their big brother Chen Lin.

"What don't you understand? Tell my brother. Chen Lin touched the little girl's golden hair and smiled. He understands very well that the "Grim Reaper" comics are incomprehensible to 9 or 10-year-olds.

"This Death Sister is very beautiful, why is she so powerful?"

"Hehe, this sister of death is an angel sent by God, of course she is beautiful and powerful."

Chen Lin smiled and used angels as a metaphor for death, of course the female Grim Reaper in the comics is beautiful, and their prototypes are from the company's two beauties, Lin Zhiling and Fan Bingbing.

Then Chen Lin explained a few small questions to the two little Lori, and the little Lori ran away satisfied after getting the answer.

"Jason, who is the author of this comic book? It's funny. Father Bush picked up the cartoon again while listening to Chen Lin's explanation to the child.

"Daddy. I co-created this comic with a few friends, and I started a company with a comic studio, which was our first work. Not yet available. Chen Lin replied that he told Father Bush about his profession and the opening of a small company in China.

When Bush Dad heard that it was actually Chen Lin's own work, he immediately felt that the cartoon in his hand was not ordinary. He admires young talents like Chen Lin. As soon as he heard that the comics had not yet been released, he took the initiative to ask Chen Lin if he had any plans to publish them in the United States, and whether he needed to introduce a few publishers to him.

"Daddy, you see my comic book is in English. Of course, I'm ready to publish in the U.S., and it's great to have your help with my dad. Chen Lin was overjoyed, he never imagined that there would be such an unexpected gain in sending comic books to his father.

"Okay, your Aunt Laura works in the library and knows a lot of publishers, and I'll ask her to introduce you to a few big publishers later." Daddy Bush nodded and smiled.

Chen Lin was very happy, and was about to thank his father, when Yu Yu's voice came, "Dad, what are you talking about so happy?"

Chen Lin looked back, and Yu Yu and Laura came over with some fruit salad.

At this time, Bush's father spoke first, and he told his wife Laura that Chen Lin was going to publish cartoons in the United States.

Yu Yu also became happy after hearing this, and she kissed Bush's father and Laura's mother on the face to express her gratitude to her father.

The Bushes were amused by the gesture of her light kiss.

Next, Yu Yu and Laura also joined the topic of chatting, and the four of them chatted while eating fruit, as for the two little Lori, they seemed to be completely attracted by the comic books, and they couldn't call over, sitting on the grass and watching with relish.

During the chat, Laura brought up the early childhood education program she worked on with Yu Yu a few years ago. The plan advocates pre-school education for children between the ages of 3 and 4.

Laura has always been enthusiastic about this educational charity activity.

After hearing this, Chen Lin thought in his heart, the so-called early childhood education plan is simply equivalent to a kindergarten in a big city in the future.

Chen Lin also introduced Laura to the situation of children's education in China, the lack of education for children aged 3 to 4 in China is more serious, especially the majority of rural children, before going to school will only count 1-10, what singing and dancing do not know, even in 2013 preschool education for many rural families is still a luxury, kindergarten tuition in the city is too expensive, can not afford to go to.

In addition, he introduced that Chinese have a large population, 48 million people were in poverty in 98 years, and if 10% of the 48 million people were children, then 4.8 million children were out of school, and they could not even enjoy basic education, let alone preschool education.

After listening to Chen Lin's introduction, Laura sighed, which aroused her determination to do something for the children.

At this time, Yu Yu proposed to simply establish a foundation to do what she could for out-of-school children in China and the United States, and her idea won the approval of the Bushes.

As a husband, of course, he should support his wife's suggestion, and he should support it with actions, Chen Lin proposed that the two of them donate one million US dollars to make the foundation's start-up capital.

Laura was glad to hear this.

Laura's mother, don't be in a hurry to be happy, what else is there to be happy about?

When Chen Lin saw the comic book in Bush's father's hand, he was inspired to propose a "Sunshine Hope Project" -- for every copy of the "Grim Reaper" comic book sold in China and the United States, one dollar or equivalent renminbi will be used as a donation for the foundation, which will be specially used to help out-of-school children in China and the United States, so that the children can go to school.

As soon as he made this proposal, even Father Bush applauded. And Laura's mother was naturally overjoyed.

Laura was tempted by Chen Lin's proposal for the "Sunshine Hope Project", she was already thinking about which powerful publisher to offer, and she had even taken the initiative to help Chen Lin and his wife think about how to promote the comic book.

For every book sold, there is a donations of one dollar, and a million copies are a million dollars, and ten million copies are not ten million dollars. I'll have to discuss this matter with Alina and Jason later. (To be continued......)
