Chapter 3 New Arrival in Korea
Republic of Korea (Korean: ???? ), referred to as South Korea. Located in Northeast Asia, it is an emerging developed country. The constitutional territory covers the entire Korean Peninsula and its affiliated islands, and the actual territory accounts for about 4/9 of the total area of the Korean Peninsula. Located in the northeast of the Asian continent in the south of the Korean Peninsula, it is surrounded by the sea on the east, south and west, covering an area of 99,600 square kilometers, and the coastline of the peninsula is about 17,000 kilometers (including the island coastline). Since the 60s, the South Korean government has implemented an "export-oriented" economic development strategy, which has promoted the rapid development of its own economy, and in just a few decades, it has transformed from one of the poorest and most backward countries in the world to a moderately developed country, creating the "Han River Miracle" that has attracted the attention of the world's world.
Seoul (it should not have been renamed Seoul yet, it still uses Seoul, and it was not renamed Seoul until January 05.) Here, so as not to bother, even if it was changed early, the meaning is the same anyway) is the largest city in South Korea, an international metropolis, and at the same time the capital of South Korea. The city's buildings are both ancient and modern, ranging from old Joseon palaces such as Gyeongbokgung Palace to cutting-edge cultural complexes. In addition, shopping streets such as Myeongdong and Apgujeong-dong and a variety of performance facilities are also famous in the world.
Sightseeing spots in Seoul include the five ancient palaces and Jongmyo temples of the Joseon Dynasty, the Seoul Senaeunkai Cup Stadium (02 Seunjeeh Cup), 63 Building, Hangang, Namsan Mountain, Bukhansan National Park, Daehakro, Insadong, etc., and famous shopping spots such as Itaewon, Myeongdong, Apotjeong, Namdaemun, Dongdaemun, etc. Seoul Amusement Park, Everland, Caribbean Bay, Korean Folk Village, Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, Namhansan Fortress and other attractions in the suburbs of Seoul are also worth seeing.
Seoul has a temperate monsoon climate. The average annual temperature is about 11.8°C, and the four seasons are distinct. Spring and autumn have little rain and a warm climate, which is suitable for tourism. In summer (June ~ mid-September), the average monthly temperature is 20°C-27°C. Winter (December ~ February) is slightly cooler than in other cities at the same latitude. (The average monthly temperature is -5°C~0°C).
It was still relatively cold in South Korea in early spring, so Feng Ziyi stepped out of the airport, gathered his thin clothes, put a baseball cap on his head, and watched the novel landscape around him. Incheon International Airport, which has just been opened for a year, is surrounded by Koreans with black hair and black eyes like him, which makes Feng Ziyi speechless and scolded Bos in his heart.
How far is South Korea from Hong Kong? If you are found by your mother, South Korea, which is a big fart, really wants to find a better place to hide. What's more, the angel fund in charge of my mother is the largest shareholder of SBS, one of the three major TV stations in South Korea, and my mother is the chairman of the TV station, and has business dealings with companies such as Samsung, Hyundai and LG.
But now is not the time to think about this, because you have to fill your stomach first, and find the ATM to withdraw cash, otherwise you will not be able to move an inch without money.
"My mom, you're so ruthless." Looking at the English displayed on the ATM, it actually prompted that the credit card had been discontinued, and Feng Zixi could only stand there and cry without tears. Needless to say? This credit card is a personal supplementary card given to him by his esteemed mother Aina, which is valid worldwide, and it is guaranteed by the fund company, and it will definitely not be deactivated because of lack of funds. Then the only explanation is that Ms. Aina, who flew from New York to Los Angeles, found that her son had run away again. After asking to no avail, he decided to cut off his financial resources, and look at this unwell-behaved child, where else can he run?
In fact, if Aina is not angry, as long as she calms down, after Feng Zixi takes the money from the credit card, she can naturally find out where her son is getting the money from the bank, and she can find someone logically soon. But Aina was so angry that her son dared to avoid her and not meet her, and after a round of questioning of the tight-lipped Bosch to no avail, she asked the bank to freeze the use of the supplementary card. This also made it so that Aina really couldn't find where Feng Zixi went in a short period of time. …,
In the bag he was holding, in addition to his passport, there was only more than 100 US dollars in change prepared by Bose, and he didn't even have a change of clothes. took out all the belongings on his body, Feng Zixi was the most sad, a handful of erhu with him, a passport, and the cash prepared by Bosch, which added up to less than two hundred dollars in cash in his pocket. The other is masks, sunglasses and the word LA printed on them, and the baseball caps of the Los Angeles Dodgers, these are all Feng Zixi's existing family wealth, which is really poor.
Just as Feng Zixi was hesitating, he interrupted his train of thought in a sweet voice that was not very proficient in Korean: "Sir, this sir." Can you let it go? I'm going to use this machine. ”
Looking up, because it was the backlight, Feng Ziyi didn't see the appearance of the person clearly, but it must be a young girl, which was heard from her voice. "Oh, Sorry, please. (In the future, Korean and English will be replaced by Chinese writing) "The girl's Korean is obviously not too good, but fortunately, Feng Zixi's Korean is good, at least she can listen and speak." This is also when Aina started her Korean business, there was an extra Korean translator by her side, and Feng Ziyi took the time to learn from it.
Feng Zixi stood up, still having a headache about what to do. There is a family company in South Korea, and it is very easy for him to call himself the second young master of the Feng family, and he wants to get help. But the price was to be captured by his mother, Feng Zixi would not do such a stupid thing. But now there is no money, with South Korea's high consumption, 200 US dollars, the exchange is only about 200,000 won (according to the query, on October 22, 2002, 1 US dollar was exchanged for 1243.50 won, reaching the highest value at that time. However, for the sake of convenience, one dollar is exchanged for 1,200 won, which is no longer calculated according to the exchange rate at the time), and it is not enough to rent a house, let alone live here, or buy a ticket again and leave.
"Sir, are you in any trouble and need help?" The sweet voice sounded again. But this girl's Korean is really bad enough, if it weren't for Feng Ziyi's Korean conversation skills, I really couldn't understand what the other party was saying so awkwardly.
"You're not Korean? You can speak English, and I'm not Korean. ”
Feng Zixi's English was obviously understandable to the other party, and the girl jumped up happily, with a childish smile on her face, and seemed to be defenseless against this strange and handsome big brother. Unintentionally, he asked in English, "I was observing you just now, and I noticed that your eyes are a little blue, are you a half-blood?" Are mixed-race children looking like this box office? I'm Korean, but I've lived in the United States since I was a child, so I don't know much about Korean, how can your Korean be so good? Better than me, is it that one of your parents is Korean, or that you are studying in Korea? ”
Speaking as fast as a machine gun, even if Feng Zixi heard it clearly, he didn't know how to answer and react, so he could only stand there in a daze, waiting for the girl to finish.
"OPPA, why don't you speak, don't you like me, then I'll just go." The girl is only about twelve or thirteen years old, and she doesn't understand any scheming, so she says whatever comes to mind. Looking at this beautiful big brother, he didn't react to what he said, and thought that he was hated, so he turned around and was about to leave in frustration.
"Wait a minute." Seeing the girl turn to leave, Feng Zixi reacted, grabbed the girl's arm with one hand, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry!" You asked so many questions at once, and I didn't know which one to answer you, so I didn't react for a while, and I didn't seem to like you. What's more, you look so cute, and you are the first person I met in Korea, which can be regarded as a kind of fate. ”…,
"Hee-hee, really?" The girl's face is like a June day, and she changes when she says it. It was still pitiful just now, but in the blink of an eye, it was like a blooming sunshine, and the hearty Da Lang laughed, and the smiling eyes of the moon made Feng Zixi remember it deeply. "It turns out that OPPA doesn't dislike Stephanie, so Stephanie is relieved." After speaking, he patted his small chest like the ground.
"Your name is Stephanie! Stephanie (a sign of honor), a great name, suits you perfectly. ”
"Huh! My Korean name is Hwang Mi-young, I was born in Los Angeles, California, USA, and I came back to Korea with Abba and Ernie to visit relatives. Pretty OPPA, you haven't introduced yourself yet? Abba said it was rude. Huang Meiying accused very seriously.
Feng Zixi heard Huang Meiying say that she was beautiful several times, and she couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, and black lines appeared on her forehead. Now being accused by such a small girl, she slapped her forehead with her hand and asked the sky speechlessly!
"Stephanie! OPPA is called handsome and handsome, not pretty, you will have to remember it later. ”
"Is that so?" Huang Meiying bit her little finger and used her not too much knowledge to understand. But the queen still shook his head and said: "Ernie said that being good-looking is beautiful, and OPPA is good-looking, isn't it beautiful?" ”
Feng Zixi had a feeling of wanting to hit the wall, but looking at Huang Meiying's serious appearance, she could only shrug her shoulders helplessly, forget it, don't worry so much about a little girl. Counting up, Feng Ziyi is very handsome, compared with which white-faced students and beautiful men, because of the relationship between martial arts, he is more masculine.
Moreover, because he has lived in high society for a long time and is mixed in the crew, he wears a mask on everything he does, he looks more loyal and easy to attract favor. Huang Meiying is a little girl who feels close to Feng Zixi because of his appearance.
"OPPA's name is Feng Zixi, a Chinese-American mixed-race, Canadian-Chinese. Like you, I just came to South Korea from Los Angeles. ”
"Yay! It turns out that OPPA and I are fellow villagers, and Stephanie is so happy! Huang Meiying jumped up happily again, grabbed Feng Zixi's arm, and kept talking about things in Los Angeles, and her defense against Feng Zixi had been reduced to zero.
How can this little girl always act stupid, a bit four-dimensional. Didn't you hear what you said before, why are you in the same country? But Huang Meiying's trust in herself is really speechless, I don't know how her parents taught her, why she is so defenseless against strangers, aren't you afraid of being unladylike?
"Stephanie! Why are you the only one here? What about your parents? Are they so relieved to let you be here alone? Feng Zixi felt that he really shouldn't be with this stupid girl, otherwise he would be discovered, and he would think that he was a strange Shu millet who abducted and trafficked people.
"Stephanie doesn't have a mom anymore, mom has left Stephanie, don't want Stephanie anymore." Huang Meiying suddenly squatted on the ground and cried, so that the crowd around the airport couldn't help but cast their eyes on Feng Ziyi's side, as if they were blaming him, how could he make such a cute little girl cry, and let Feng Zixi feel like sitting on the tip of a needle for the first time.
"Uh" Feng Zixi knew that he had said the wrong thing, and Huang Meiying's mother must have died. It must be very sad to lose your mother's love at such a young age. Compared with the love of not only my mother, but also the pampering of my father, many aunts, grandparents, and grandparents, it is really happier than the girl in front of me who lost her mother.
Although her mother is not with Stephanie, it does not mean that she has left Stephanie. She will always be there for you. I hope you can be happy forever and be a carefree girl. Feng Zixi coaxed her younger brothers and sisters, hugged Huang Meiying in her arms, and gently comforted the heart of this painful girl.
