Chapter 118: If you come, you will be safe

"Professor Bu Dasheng, Mrs. Bu Dasheng, please be seated." At this time, the housekeeper invited a white couple to sit at Li Kangping's table.

Professor Bu Dasheng has a thin face and wears round glasses. Mrs. Budasheng wore a pale green dress and a large round hat decorated with flowers.

Li Kangping and Sophie were observing the middle-aged couple at the same table, and Bu Dasheng and his wife were also looking at the young man and woman.

Dr. Lee.

"Miss Sophie Buffalo."

"Professor Budasheng."

"Mrs. Bu Dasheng."

The four of them reported to their homes and shook hands with each other.

"Dr. Lee, I swear I've seen you, in the newspapers. That's right, you are the 'Father of Television', Dr. Lee, who invented live TV! Mrs. Bu Dasheng said excitedly.

"Live TV, what a great invention." "Of course, my knowledge of live television is very limited, and I have just returned from China, and I regret missing the sensational TV performance in New York. ”

"The more grand TV performance will be held in California, and if Professor Bu Dasheng is boarding a ship from California to China, maybe you can see the TV performance in California. Beautiful Sophie, she will be live from New York to Hollywood. Li Kangping held Sophie's hand and stroked it gently.

"I was turned into an electrical signal by Dr. Lee, and I seem to have mastered the superpower of teleporting thousands of miles." Sophie laughed.

"I want to have that superpower, too." Mrs. Bu Dasheng said enviously.

The four of them talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was relatively harmonious.

The host walked onto the stage and said, "Thank you to the Rockefeller Foundation for hosting this party, thank you Mr. Kingston and Mrs. Kingston for your hospitality, and thank you all for coming!" We are honored to have Mr. George Kent, the State Senator of New York, and now, Senator Kent, and Mrs. Kent. ”

Senator George Kent is tall, burly, and personable, and he has a typical politician's face, handsome, steady, and always smiling.

Senator Kent took his wife's hand and walked to the front of the stage, where he held his hand and his wife's hand aloft, and the audience burst into applause.

Immediately, Mrs. Kent returned to her seat, and Senator Kent stepped up the steps and moved to the center of the stage.

Senator Kent said in an unhurried voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much. Today is a happy day for my wife and me, as we get together with old friends, meet new people, and participate in the celebration of a young man's first communion service. At the same time, we would like to thank this child's family for their outstanding contributions to the state. ”

In an instant, Senator Kent took a check from the pocket of his suit vest? Show the audience: "This check in my hand is for the State University of New York?" It was an important donation and was signed by Christopher Fred Kingston. This check is signed by his parents for approval? We should get to know them. ”

Senator Kent made a gesture of please: "Rogge? Erin, and Christopher? Please stand and let everyone know you. ”

Kingston's family of three stood up? In fact, everyone present knows this family of three? It is a necessary ritual.

"Everyone, please join me in expressing our sincerest respect to this great family of New Yorkers!" Senator Kent led the applause, and the audience applauded.

Senator Kent raised his voice: "Mr. Christopher Fred Kingston's donor will be used to build the State University of New York branch in Buffalo?" Once again, let us thank Mr. Christopher Fred Kingston with a round of applause! ”

The State University of New York is not a university? It is a huge education and scientific research system.

The State University of New York has campuses in various cities in New York State, and with the generous support of Christopher Fred Kingston, the State University of New York will be built into a more beautiful and advanced state.

Mr. Christopher Fred Kingston, an 11-year-old boy who had just attended the first communion service.

Thanks to this boy for his help? Sophie's hometown in Buffalo has been breathed with new life.

The party goes on, and it's time for the presentations? To be exact, it was a medical scientist speaking session.

Are all of these medical scientists related to Peking Union Medical College? They are either medical scientists who have returned to Peking Union Medical College for vacation and debriefing, or medical scientists who are about to go to Peking Union Medical College.

"We want to establish a higher medical institution in China that embodies Western values and medical standards? This is Peking Union Medical College. In order to build Peking Union Medical College? The Rockefeller Foundation invested $7.5 million--- and this is just the initial construction. In 1918? The construction of the new campus of Peking Union Medical College was completed, and in the following years, the Rockefeller Foundation invested millions of dollars, which made Peking Union Medical College grow at a rapid pace. It is no exaggeration to say that the current Peking Union Medical College is not inferior to the State University of New York in clinical medicine. ”

"We have made statistics and estimates that if we want to have one doctor for every 1,000 people in China's 400 million people, it will take more than a century to achieve this goal, even if all medical schools in China are overloaded with enrollment. The only way to solve the health problems of China's many poor people is to build effective grassroots health organizations that carry out public health work in both urban and rural areas. ”

"The mission of the medical school is to train high-quality medical talents to lead and guide the development of these grassroots work. Therefore, Peking Union Medical College adheres to the system of emphasizing quality over quantity, and eliminating unqualified students without being soft-hearted. Peking Union Medical College admits only 25 students each year, and the duration of study is 8 years, and each student has 10 beds for study and internship. As I said earlier, Peking Union Medical College is very strong in clinical medical education. Now, we hope to be able to develop basic medical education and research at Peking Union Medical College......"

Professor Weger was a young white man who was sent by the Rockefeller Foundation to teach at Peking Union Medical College in 1918. He spent five years in China, his first return to the United States.

Of course, Professor Wegg must have given a technical debriefing to Foundation management a few days or weeks ago, in a closed environment.

Today's party arranged outdoors is more like a kind of medical science lecture that is not so technical.

Professor Weige not only introduced the power of Peking Union Medical College to Americans who have never been to China, but also used Peking Union Medical College as a foothold to summarize the current medical situation and solutions in China.

The Rockefeller Foundation, it seems like they're really doing it all over the world?

Subsequently, Professor Bu Dasheng gave a speech.

Professor Bu Dasheng, a Canadian, went to Peking Union Medical College in 1919 for his first trip back to the United States.

"After our preliminary investigation, it is possible that there are ancient human remains, or even complete torso......s, in North China," said Professor Bu Dasheng.

Professor Wei Ge suggested that the basic medical strength of Peking Union Medical College should be strengthened.

Professor Bu Dasheng hopes to launch a "project on the archaeology of ancient human remains" in North China.

These projects cost money, which of course was provided by the Rockefeller Foundation.

Listening to the speeches of these medical scientists from Beijing, Li Kangping had mixed feelings.

However, Li Kangping must not let this mixed emotions affect his work, otherwise many of his work in the United States and around the world will not be able to move forward smoothly.

Although Li Kangping is Chinese, Peking Union Medical College has nothing to do with him.

So why did Kingston invite Li Kangping to this party?

Li Kangping doesn't know the specific reason, anyway, if he comes, he will be safe, he should socialize, what should he do.

The medical scientists' presentations ended, and the band played music. For the first dance song, Li Kangping invited Sophie to dance together.

Li Kangping and Sophie danced three dances.

For the rest of the dance music, Li Kangping can choose other dance partners, and so does Sophie.

Li Kangping no longer invites new dance partners, and he exchanges business cards with guests to expand his network.

"Dr. Li, let's talk about it alone." Kingston walked over with a champagne glass.

Immediately, Kingston led Li Kangping into the interior of the main building of the medieval-style castle, and the two walked through the concert hall and the living room in the style of the Restoration to an antique room.

The room is covered with burgundy and dark blue satin, filled with colorful flowers, and in this fragrant and expensive setting, four people sit around a table stacked with small ivory bricks, and a mahjong table stands next to an upright radio.

The radio is playing a live stream of the "Baseball World Series", New York Yankees vs Pittsburgh Pirates.

Well-dressed ladies and gentlemen listen to live radio broadcasts while drawing cards and losing cards and recording scores at the end of a round. This has become a trend in American high society.

"The name of the hypothetical instrument you mentioned last time is too awkward, so I will simply call it 'molecular medicine instrument'." "Dr. Lee, you just heard a lecture from a medical scientist about the development of basic medicine, or the excavation of ancient human remains, and the medical scientists did not give very specific technical details about these scientific projects, but they described the overall concept and the relatively well-developed plan. Regarding 'molecular medicine instruments', I hope you can do the same. ”

"Mr. Kingston, did I tell you that it will take time." Li Kangping explained, and used his spare eyes to scan the radio and mahjong table not far away.

"Yes, it takes time, and I can wait, but please don't keep me waiting, because I never thought I was a very patient person." Mr. Kingston also looked at the radio and mahjong table, and said, "Dr. Lee, have you watched the Baseball World Series live?" You know what, the Baseball World Series is one of the reasons I love this country. ”

"Dr. Lee, I also know that you have a mahjong company in the Bronx--- it is the first and only mahjong company in the United States, Hera brand mahjong, you deserve it, is it?"

"Yes, it's it."

"Unfortunately, your mahjong doesn't seem to be selling well on Long Island, where the inhabitants prefer ivory mahjong. Actually, I am also a mahjong enthusiast, and now, we don't talk about technology and business, we only play mahjong. ”

Kingston and Li Kangping walked to the mahjong table, and the two male mahjong friends got up to give up their seats.

Dr. Lee, the father of television and the owner of Hera Mahjong, also has the title of 'Father of American Mahjong.'" Kingston introduces Li Kangping to the crowd.

"Lady Elizabeth Gordon." She is a middle-aged woman with brown hair.

"Miss Laura Rockefeller." She was a young girl with blond brown hair.

"Good afternoon, ladies." Li Kangping sent greetings and said, "It seems that this is Laizi's play? ”

"Yes, Laizi plays, it's very exciting." Miss Laura Rockefeller expertly throws the dice, randomly determining that the roast in this round is a chicken.
