Chen Bo took Alyssa to Philadelphia on the East Coast in a low-key manner, and was accustomed to hearing about New York, Los Angeles, and China. People in cities like Surbandon will feel very unfamiliar with this name at first glance.

You may immediately think of the Philadelphia Orchestra, the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers, or the movie Once Upon a Time in Philadelphia starring Tom Hanks.

In fact, Philadelphia is the fourth largest metropolitan area in the United States, after New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, 160 kilometers north of New York and 220 kilometers south of Washington. In 1787, the U.S. military held a federal convention here, issued the world-famous Declaration of Independence, until 1800, when Washington was established, it was the location of the capital, which was like the Ying Tianfu of the Ming Dynasty.

After putting his luggage in the apartment he had rented in advance, Chen Bo immediately went to Penn to go through the enrollment procedures. It's not Pennsylvania, it's a private Pennsylvania university, it's not a state, and Wharton is just one of Penn's 12 research schools.

Universities in the United States are basically walled, and taxis can be used to walk around the campus and blend in with the city. But if you are not careful, you may also run to Drexel University, which is nicknamed "Drag" by international students next door.

After going around for a long time, I asked a few young people who didn't know whether it was a junior sister or a senior brother, and finally found a red cylindrical teaching building where Wharton was.

Chen Bo hastily went through the relevant procedures among the freshmen who came to report, and by the way, he got a booklet about the history of the school.

I don't know if I don't know it, but I'm really shocked when I see it, Benjamin Franklin is the founder of Penn on the $100 face value. That's right, the old man who learned in elementary school nature class to catch lightning with a kite, who invented the lightning rod, who led the independent revolution, who was the first ambassador to France, who was a philosopher, a physicist, an inventor, and another cattle man who opened a hanging, may have also crossed over.

The world's first computer, Eniac, was born at this university, and although it was the size of four houses, it has since made a great leap into the information age.

Passing by the School of Architecture, Chen Bo suddenly found that there were Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin on the honorary alumni and photos on the wall, which really didn't expect that he could meet acquaintances in such a corner, I don't know if the two of them got married here at that time, and whether they left any moving poems.

As for Xu Zhimo, it is impossible for him to appear here, because he studied with Clark and Columbia, and later transferred to Cambridge, before writing the famous chapter "Farewell to Cambridge".

The Wharton School of Business, where Chen Bo wants to study, was founded in 1881 and is the first business school in the world. Although it is 141 years later than the history of Penn in 1740, it is also a few years earlier than Penn Animal Hospital, which is no one, but there is no way, the history of the school is written like TMD.

"I'll take you somewhere good?" Chen Bo walked, watched, and visited, and Alyssa jumped in front of him coldly.

"Huh? How I had a sense of foreboding. ”

"Just come with me." Alyssa couldn't help but say, leading the way in front, as if she was familiar with the place.

After going around and around, I walked to the door of the stadium after a few detours, and there is no game now, so come here to dry my hair? Chen Boxin said, besides, the rough men in the stadiums in the United States play the game of rugby, which is not what people like me who pursue gorgeous skills.

"Look at the other side!" Alyssa stretched out her hand and pointed to the red house across the stadium to see a sign that read "Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology."

"Anthropology? What's so nice about this, how nice it would be for us to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York another day. Chen Bo wondered if it could be that the alumni of the medical school had made a bunch of skeletons and corpses soaked in formalin for an exhibition, thinking of this made him sick to his stomach, how could he be interested.

"If you really think so, you're very wrong." Alyssa deliberately sold a pass, mysteriously.

Anyway, it's already at the door, and there is no charge, so just go in and have a look.

After entering, I found that there was a cave, and as for the skeletons and corpses, I really didn't see them, but there were a lot of old objects unearthed.

This is the Huaxia Pavilion!

Damn, it's actually the Guanyin wood carving of the Song Dynasty!

No way! It was actually the head of the Buddha in the Tang Dynasty.

"Hey, this is actually the Six Horses of Zhaoling?" The large broken stone reliefs in the glass display case are two vigorous horses, apparently broken and then put together as a whole.

"It's Salu Zi and Fist Mao!" Alyssa nodded and said, "Sa Luzi was killed by an arrow in the battle between Li Shimin and Wang Shichong in the first battle of Bishan, and it is also the only accompanying portrait among the six horses, and it is also the most legendary, artistic and well-preserved story. Fist Mao is the conquest of Liu Heimin when the body fell to the ground with 19 arrows and died, plus Teller, Qinghu, Shivachi, and Baihowu are Li Shimin's favorite six horses, following him to conquer the south and the north to lay down the immortal achievements, in order to commemorate the artwork jointly completed by Yan Liben and Yan Lide, standing on both sides of the Zhaoling altar. ”

"Well, but their names are very weird, unlike the Red Rabbit and Lu in the Three Kingdoms, is it because the old Li family has Xianbei blood?" Chen Bo asked, like a student who humbly asks for advice.

"It is influenced by the Turks, these are all Dawan horses from the Western Regions, so the names have Turkic transliteration characteristics, and Sa Lu Zi means the purple horses of the brave." Alyssa explained.

"I've been to the Forest of Steles Museum, and the four horses have been badly damaged, so I only know that these two horses have been lost overseas, but I didn't expect them to be in the Penn Museum." Chen Bo touched the short beard on his chin and sighed, it was all tears when he said too much, what about the cultural relics that flowed out, not to mention these two divine horses, any one thrown out of the Western Museum is a treasure level, this group of robbers who call themselves civilized people!

"Lu Qinzhai, a cultural relics dealer in the Republic of China, sold them out of customs, and the four horses were intercepted, but the two horses were broken up and shipped to the United States, where they were collected by Penn for $125,000."

"Then Lu Qinzhai is not a big traitor?"

He was an antiquities dealer and antique dealer, but he also organized research on cultural relics and funded Lin Yutang's invention of the Chinese typewriter. At the same time, he also funded the Xinhai Revolution, and donated a lot of money during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Alyssa pursed her lips, "The Red House in the Parc Monceau in Paris was built by him, but there are not many artifacts now, only old furniture." ”

"Tell me, what the hell is the purpose. You wouldn't have brought me here for no reason, and you wouldn't have told me about it for no reason, and you're from Oklahoma State University, so how could you be so familiar with Penn? Chen Bo said coldly, all this seems to be a game that has already been laid out, just waiting for him to drill in.

"It's simple, I'm specially trained, and I know how to get around with a glance at the map. As for this museum, it is because I accompanied the experts in China to ask Penn for these two horses. If there is any purpose, it is just to make you not forget the motherland behind you. "An exotic half-breed gives him a lesson in patriotic education, which may sound a little funny, but it is real.

"You'd better not play any tricks, I don't like being taken away very much." There was a chill in Chen Bo's words, this feeling was really not good, and the lack of initiative always made him feel insecure.

Although Alyssa actually didn't say anything, these two horses quietly planted a seed in Chen Bo's heart.

Don't look at this museum as a university-level, but there are a lot of good things, and the North American continent can have a fart history, and the Indians are very little left.

All the collections here are poured from other places I don't know how to use it, even the mummies of ancient Egypt can be found here, the cultural treasures of the Babylonian Dynasty are the most, the exhibition hall of Mesopotamian civilization is also the largest, and there are many unearthed cultural relics that are not explained in writing, but are quietly placed in glass display cases waiting for people to interpret their mysteries.

These crystallization of the wisdom and art of ancient human beings left their homeland and went into exile after a few years. If you are backward, you will have to be beaten, and no matter how good things are, you will not be able to keep them, and only if you are strong enough can you not be coveted, this is an eternal truth.

With a sense of depression, he ended his visit to Penn and began to officially return to his six-month student days.

After a simple disguise, sneakers and denim shorts, a hoodie with black glasses frames, Chen Bo has become a standard young college student, and foreigners have face blindness when they look at Asians, it would be great if they could recognize him.

It's not wrong to keep a low profile, and you can always avoid unnecessary trouble, which has become a habit he has maintained for a long time.

"Today is the first class of the semester, but we also have a new classmate, this is a transfer student from Huaxia." Ms. Lisa from the Academic Affairs Office brought Chen Bo to her class and said to the students. Only a few people had indifference in their eyes, and the others clapped their hands unsurprisingly, and there were already obvious Asian faces among the thirty-four people in the class.

"Vincent, tell me about yourself."

Chen Bo smiled and nodded, and walked up to the podium in front of him, "Thank you for your sparse applause, I'll pretend that this is a welcome to me." It seems that the opening remarks of the talk show amused a lot of people.

"My Chinese name is Chen Bo, Chen is my father's surname, and Bo describes the high tide in Chinese. His English name is Vincent, majoring in computer science in China. I like English football, and I also know a little bit of Chinese kung fu, and I hope to learn together and become friends in the future. Chen Bo said that he came up with a trick of the white crane with bright wings and the black tiger digging out his heart, Europe and the United States all grew up watching Bruce Lee, and solidified that all Chinese people knew kung fu, and they could see this point, so he simply put the next one first, anyway, he was not afraid of anyone in the fight.

Most Chinese are introverted, even if they are the second generation who have integrated into American life, they don't want to show themselves too much, as if they are ostriches forbearance, so this national treatment can't even be compared with blacks, Chen Bo did the opposite, he came to learn knowledge and culture, which is not contradictory.
