At 8 a.m. on June 16, 1975, Captain Wu and I gathered all the students of the Asian class for a meeting in our specialized classroom.

At this time, the classroom has already set up desks, chairs, lecterns, bookcases, etc.

After everyone sat down, I stood on the podium and called everyone according to the roster, and we had all 45 students left!

At this time, everyone wants to straighten their waists like elementary school students, sit straight with their hands flat on the table, and keep their eyes on the podium and blackboard, waiting for me to speak to everyone!

In pure English, I said, "Students! Yesterday morning, a very unfortunate thing happened, we lost four of our classmates who had just met! At first, maybe everyone didn't know that there would be such a serious tragedy! However, this tragedy did happen! Therefore, if we want to survive in this very special environment, we must learn to be disciplined, obey superiors, and respect others as soon as possible! At the same time, maintain a peaceful, equal and friendly attitude, and create normal, harmonious and friendly interpersonal relationships in small circles, classes and teams! Only then can we survive here and begin our studies, training, and daily lives! At the same time, we will surely gain new freedom and happiness because of this! ”

Everyone applauded in agreement!

Then, I read out the "Daily Schedule" for the Asian class, which I agreed with Chris yesterday afternoon, and it reads as follows:

Morning: 7:30-8:30 jogging, doing exercises and breakfast on the deck;

From 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., General Jefferson and Major Chris will tell us about the mission, philosophy and discipline of the CIA.

9:30-11:30 self-study in the classroom;

11:30-12:30 lunch;

Afternoon: 1:00-2:30 rest;

2:30-4:30 free time;

4:30-6:00 military salute and queue, physical exercise and combat training;

6:00-10:00 Dinner and free time;

Closed after 10:00 pm.

After the reading, Captain Wu and I posted the printed "Daily Schedule" on the wall of the classroom, and distributed notebooks and stationery to everyone.

When I had done all this, I stood up at the podium and said, "Students! Each of us has equal rights in terms of personality, rights and duties! Because, everyone should play their due role in the Asian class and become a real member of the Asian class! Captain Wu and I were ordered to serve in the class, which is the right given to us by the military order! But this right does not reflect your wishes! So now we give you the opportunity to show your willingness! For the sake of administrative convenience, we need to divide the Asian class into three groups! 13 Vietnamese students and other students are the first group, 16 Taiwanese boys and Japanese students are the second group, and 15 Taiwanese girls are the third group! Now, each of your groups should elect the chairman and deputy leaders of the group through democratic elections, and the election method is that the group members recommend and nominate candidates for the team leader and deputy station leader, and the candidates make campaign speeches, and then the team members vote on the candidates by secret ballot! All right! Many people know better than I do about the election, and now, let's go into breakout groups, nominate them, make speeches, and vote on them. ”

Then, everyone began to sit in three discussion groups in the classroom and have a lively discussion!

At this time, the classroom was back to laughter!

Before the end of class at noon, each group elected the chairman and deputy leader of each group through heated discussion and voting.

The first group leader is Chen Jiafu, Ah Fu; The deputy team leader is Du Wentao, which is expected.

The second group leader is a Japanese student Inoue Gang, and the information in the roster reflects that he is a doctoral student in economics, male, 21 years old, 1.70 meters tall, descended from a famous official; the deputy group leader is Wang Ziwen, a high school student, male, 14 years old, 1.72 meters tall, a person from the southwest of the mainland who came to Taiwan.

The leader of the third group is Di Lina, a high school graduate, female, 18 years old, 1.75 meters tall, a Taiwanese military family.

However, when the two girls in the third group, Xue Meifeng and Wei Kexin, ran for the deputy leader, the number of votes was the same after several votes, so they invited me to judge them on the candidate for the deputy leader.

I said, "It's easy! Xue Meifeng, Wei Kexin, the two of you, just let Xian give it to the other party! ”

Xue Meifeng smiled and said, "Squad leader! I won't let Xian? I just want to be this deputy team leader! ”

Wei Kexin said: "Squad leader! She can't! I won't give her a virtuous one! ”

I said, "Okay! So, bet your luck on the two of you! Decide the winner with a paper scissors hammer! Three powers, two systems! ”

Then, everyone gathered to see the excitement of Xue Meifeng and Wei Kexin!

Next to them, there was a Chinese shouting: "One, two, three, guess boxing!" ”！

In the end, in the cheers and applause, Wei Kexin won!

In this way, Wei Kexin became the deputy leader of the third group, she is a high school graduate, thirteen years old, 1.68 meters tall, and a Taiwanese military family.

In the afternoon, in Jefferson's office, I briefed Jefferson on the situation and results of the morning meeting.

Jefferson was very happy when he heard my debriefing!

Jefferson said, "Jack! Attaboy! You've already started to get into character! You have a very deep understanding of our democratic spirit and the principle of fair competition! You must remember that a free society, democratic spirit and fair competition are the three cornerstones of our world! In the future, you follow me and do a good job, I will definitely let you make a big difference in the secret service industry! ”

I realized that I had passed Jefferson's first test for me!

At the same time, I feel that he is a very good instructor!

......

In the days that followed, we repeated the exact same life process every day according to the schedule!

In the morning during the school day, Jefferson and Chris talked to us about the CIA's mission, philosophy, and discipline, giving us many examples and very enlightening stories to make sense of these abstractions and dogmas!

Therefore, not only do we understand these things, but also, our brains are almost whitewashed by them!

......

In terms of physical fitness and skill training, Jefferson and Chris brought us two sergeants, Second Lieutenant Steve, Elishen, and Cliff, as our coaches in military salutes, military postures, queues, physical exercises, and martial arts.

Through the guidance of the coaches and the hard training of the students, the military quality of the students of the Asian class has been improved as a whole!

Soon after, the Asian class is no longer the sparse and la-la-la it used to be!

The Asian squad looks like it is already an Allied combat team, and they are full of vitality, enthusiasm and combat effectiveness!

In terms of physical fitness, they can complete a variety of difficult and dangerous movements, and in terms of grappling and fighting skills, everyone has basically understood the basic fighting styles and routines of Europe and the United States!

Steve is a very interesting instructor, and when he is not training, he often allows our students to perform martial arts and martial arts in the training hall, and practice against each other!

Xiaoda and Xiaoming are in the cinema in Hong Kong City, and they have watched almost all of Bruce Lee's kung fu movies!

Therefore, the two of them imitated Bruce Lee's martial arts moves and routines to perform kung fu and sparring for everyone!

Their performance won the applause of all the students and instructors!

Xiaoda and Xiaoming have been nicknamed "Kung Fu Boy" since then!

Japanese students such as Inoue Gang, Matsui Shizuna, Kameda Yuji, and Okamura Taro performed judo, as well as assassination performances such as Japanese sword and gun skills.

Because, except for them, all of our students are Chinese.

Therefore, when they finished their performance, they did not get so much applause, and of course, everyone applauded and applauded, which was done for polite reasons!

Through learning, training and entertainment together, the students of the Asian class have increased their understanding, communication and friendship with each other, and everyone feels more relaxed and happy!

To be honest, I didn't like what was done here, and how many people in this Asian class were! Because, I haven't forgotten the mission of the mainland agent! However, in order to adapt to the environment and survive, I must integrate into this collective and become an ordinary member of them, I think Xiaoda, Xiaoming and Du Wentao, they should feel the same as me!

Since the team leader at that time, Inoue often came to me to report and chat with me when he had nothing to do.

Inoue said, "Jack! I heard the students in the class say, are you Chinese? ”

I said, "Yes! I am a Chinese who fled from the mainland! ”

Inoue said, "Oh! I didn't expect you to have such a tragic experience! You must still miss your hometown so much, right?! ”

I said, "Yes! I grew up there and finished my childhood education! I turned out to be a very traditional redneck! I don't like my life, my work, or the people and things I've met because of it! ”

Inoue said, "Oh! So do I! I feel that Westerners are too flamboyant and superficial! ”

I said, "Actually! I didn't think about it, why don't I like Western things?! I just feel that my original ideas and practices are out of place with them! They love dreams, hilarity, and self-existence! And I, on the other hand, like to be quiet, to think, to read, to do business, and to enjoy life and happiness with my family and myself! I don't like to be noisy and fanciful! ”

Inoue said, "Oh! It seems that we do have a lot of similarities! Do you like to play Go? ”

I said, "Yes!" However, when you are in an impetuous mood and in a hurry of time, it is not suitable to play Go! If there is a suitable opportunity, I would very much like to play a few games of Go with you! You Japanese people love Go, don't you? ”

Inoue smiled and said, "Yes! Go is an important pastime in Japan! National competitions are held every spring and autumn! Go is a hot topic in our lives! ”

I said, "Good! I love to play chess! However, I don't like to be competitive! I don't really value fame and fortune! I don't think fame and fortune are necessities for work and life! So, it feels like they're nice! ”

Inoue said, "Jack! What do you think of the relationship between Chinese and Japanese? ”

I said, "As an ordinary person, I don't care about this topic!" Relationships aren't that complicated! There are good and bad relationships! The selfish nature of man and the scarcity of natural resources determine the relationship between people! I think there are two ways to get resources, one is for everyone to do business on a level playing field and take what they need! One is plunder and war! You Japanese have done the latter thing to many Asian peoples! You didn't get anything out of it, but you sowed savage and hatred! Good thing it's been decades! A lot of people have forgotten these things! Actually, I chose to forget about it! I don't think I have anything to do with these things! ”

Inoue smiled and said, "Jack! Your answer is full of wisdom! In the future, you can become a university professor! ”

I said, "Actually, there are many wise people!" It's just that it is forced by reality! We are a stream of water that passes through the world, we cannot overcome the stones that stand in front of us, but we can flow through the cracks in the stones! We are all passers-by! We're just passing through, so don't care too much about whether it's hard or smooth, just get through! ”

Inoue said, "Oh! Your life insights are so wonderful! You are a genius philosopher! ”

Later, I used my evening time to play a chessboard game of Go with Inoue, and we both won and lost.

Through talking and playing chess, I became friends with Inoue Gang!

One afternoon, Wei Kexin, Xue Meifeng and several other Taiwanese female students came to discuss with each other, and they wanted to hold a theatrical evening to increase everyone's entertainment and at the same time, enhance the communication and friendship between the students.

I reported their thoughts to Jefferson and Chris.

Jefferson was very sympathetic to the idea and agreed to help with the drinks, food, and refreshments, as well as the venue!

When the time comes, they will also participate in our celebrations.

At 7 o'clock in dinner, Jefferson specially invited Chris, Steve and others to have a party with the 45 students of our Asian class in a small restaurant that can accommodate 50 or 60 people!

The table was filled with Chinese liquor, Japanese rice wine, red wine, whiskey, brandy, and more, as well as a lot of food, snacks, and drinks!

The party was hosted by Wei Kexin and Xue Meifeng.

First of all, Wei Kexin, Di Lina, Xue Meifeng, Song Ailing, An Lili and other beautiful girls sang songs to everyone.

For the first song, they sang the song "Edelweiss" in English!

They sang very well, with a euphemistic and beautiful voice, which made the North Americans present very moved and couldn't help but sing with them!

In the second song, they sang the campus song "Grandma's Penghu Bay" in Chinese.

This is our favorite Chinese song to listen to, and we all sang with them in tears!

Finally, they invited their Japanese friends to the stage and sang the country song "Spring in the North" in Japanese, and everyone sang and applauded together!

Subsequently, Taiwanese boys performed jazz dance, Dieter dance and tango, etc., which received bursts of applause from the audience!

Xiaoming and Xiaoda performed Lee's kung fu for everyone, winning everyone's applause and laughter!

Ah Fu and Ruan Guowu performed poker magic tricks for everyone, and also sang songs in Southeast Asian minor keys, and everyone gave them warm applause!

In short, the students of the Asian class are all versatile!

After the party, Jefferson and the others left first!

After they left, Xiaoda, Ah Fu, and the Taiwanese students packed the remaining dozen bottles of liquor, whiskey, brandy and other liquor, as well as food and other snacks back to the dormitory, and continued to party!

It was a night of real freedom and joy for everyone!
