Chapter 248: Being a Guest

This chapter is subtitled: NY of NY

……………………………

"It's Sunday, May 22, 1920, at eleven a.m. ET."

"The above is the hourly time of New York Public Radio. Next up is the Sunday Guest Talk......"

"Hello listeners, I'm your host, Adam. Last week's guest was the greatest scientist of the twentieth century, Mr. Albert Einstein. Today's guest of honor for our listeners, Mr. Einstein's good friend and most admired contemporary writer, our 'NY of NY' ......"

"Mr. Neo-Yuan!"

"Hello, Mr. Host. Hello listeners in front of the radio. ”

Mr. Yuan...... I'm sorry, but I should call you Dr. Yuan right now. I would also like to congratulate you on earning your Ph.D. from NYU. ”

"Hahaha...... Mr. Host, you are so polite. Please call me Neo, and I'll call you Adam. ”

"It's my pleasure. Then Neo, welcome to our show. My audience and I have a lot of questions for you. ”

"Adam, everyone knows my greatest strength, and that is honesty. So feel free to ask. ”

"Neo, then I'll ask. One of the things that I and my listeners are most curious about is how do you come back from the dead? ”

"Adam, coming back from the dead is an exaggeration. I was only the son of an ordinary Chinese squire, not the son of the carpenter of Nazareth. Didn't the famous expert at the Presbyterian Church in New York also say that I was just in a state of shock because of a lung infection, and I looked like I was dead. ”

"Neo, that's not what I'm asking. I want to ask you how you were able to recover so quickly from this acute tuberculosis and the last sepsis? ”

"Adam, I've said this many times. My two escapes from death all relied on our Seris Medicine! I know that the American people have some bad impressions of us Chinese, and an honest gentleman like me certainly does not deny that my motherland is indeed lagging behind modern civilization. But...... Ladies and gentlemen, you must also know that our Chinese civilization has thousands of years of inheritance......"

"NEO, DO YOU MEAN YOUR 'ZHONG YI'?"

"ADAM, YOUR PRONUNCIATION IS VERY STANDARD, IT'S 'ZHONG YI'! Medicine, like other sciences, relies on the transmission of experience, so what other civilization in the world today has thousands of years of continuous civilization records? I don't think anyone can deny it, and only we ...... China."

"Listeners, you must know that the ancient Greeks and Romans, the source of Western civilization, called us Seris. Come to think of it, our ancestors' experience in medicine has been passed down to the present day, and even though it is not as 'scientific' as Western medicine, it must have its strengths......"

"And the proof of this is our population of 40,000. We Seris are lagging behind in modern civilization, but why do we still have the largest population in the world? Isn't the answer the result of Seris's medicine? ”

"And I myself am another living proof!"

"NEO, YOU ONCE SAID THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO RECOVER FROM SEPSIS WITH A TONIC CALLED 'U JIA PI', AND THIS TIME THE TUBERCULOSIS IS THE SAME."

"Adam, that's right. However, please also pay attention to the audience, there are too many profiteers in the United States now, if you want to drink the real 'Y JIA PI', please look for the trademark "Baisui Mountain", and it is best to go to the designated store to buy it. ”

"Neo, I was about to say this. Many listeners and friends reported that they insisted on taking 'U Jia Pi' from 'Baisuishan', and their physical condition did not seem to have improved much. Why is that? ”

"Adam, you said 'hold on,' the question is how long have they held out?" U JIA PI' has only been on the market for half a year, so what kind of persistence is half a year? ”

"I'm sorry, I'm not accusing these friends of lying. And this is the biggest difference between Seris medicine and Western medicine, your Western medicine pays attention to the medicine to eliminate the disease, so that the patient's symptoms disappear even if it is cured. Our goal in Seris Medicine is to remove the root cause of the disease, not the symptoms but the cause. So the natural effect is slow......"

"Let me tell you a story about the famous doctor of Seris two thousand years ago, he had three brothers, and someone asked him, which of your three brothers has the highest medical skills?"

He said that my eldest brother treated the disease and eradicated the root of the disease before others became ill, making it difficult for his medical skills to be recognized, so he was not famous. My second brother was cured at the beginning of the illness and the patient was cured when he did not feel pain, so that everyone thought that the second brother was only very good at curing minor diseases. And I was treated when the condition was very serious, the patient was in great pain, and the patient's family was anxious. At this point, they saw that I was bleeding and having surgery, so I became famous......"

"I'll use this story to answer everyone's questions."

"Neo, you Seris have ancient wisdom."

"Adam, thank you. As we say, the old man in the house is immortal...... That old man is a family heirloom. It is a treasure that there is an ancient civilization like ours in the world today. ”

"Neo, the next question that everyone is concerned about, will you stay in the United States? I heard that Professor John Bates Clark has extended an invitation to you to become a lecturer in the Department of Economics at Columbia University. Is there such a thing? ”

"Adam, there is such a thing. Professor Clark, oh, and Professor Mitchell extended such an invitation to me a few days ago. Actually, we at NYU also want me to stay on and teach. I am very grateful for their kindness and care, but I declined ......"

"I've been away from my country, my hometown, my family for a long time, and I can't wait to meet them......"

"Moreover, we Seris have an old saying that a son does not dislike having an ugly mother, just as man's best friend does not dislike the poverty of the family. Although my country is a bit backward compared to the United States, that is not a reason why I do not love my country. When I go back, I want to pass on what I have learned from America to my fellow citizens, so that my country can keep up with the pace of civilization. ”

"I think you and your audience friends are understandable......"

"Neo, we do understand and feel your patriotism. Can you ask me if you will be a teacher or a public servant when you return to your home country? ”

"Adam, just because I'm interested in politics doesn't mean I'm going to join politics. To tell you the truth, I just received an offer yesterday from a school in my country, which is called 'China Public School', and I have called back to confirm it. In addition, I intend to start a charity school with Mr. Herbert Clark Hoover and his wife. ”

"Neo, this Mr. Hoover you're talking about is the current Secretary of Commerce, right?"

"Adam, that's right. I don't come to praise the United States of America because I am in it, but it is a beacon of democracy that shines with the light of modern civilization. This great country is home to such illustrious figures as the Hoovers. They generously donated huge sums of money to help our people in Seris, and my compatriots and I will always remember them, as well as the ...... of America's help."

"Speaking of America's help, I would also like to thank President Warren Ganlimel Harding and the current Secretary of State, Mr. Charles Evans Hughes. Personally, I make a bold prediction that the Washington Conference they called on will be more important in history than the Versailles Conference, because these two are great statesmen with justice in their hearts, not the politicians who must compete with each other at the Versailles Conference. ”

"Neo, we hope that too. Then the next question is about you. What I and my audience friends want to know is how you managed to write so much, or so many great works, in just a few months? ”

"Adam, I didn't actually write about this in the last few months. The most important tool of a writer is the brain, and you can conceive you all the time if you want to. ”

"For example, A Song of Ice and Fire, I've been working on it for almost a decade since I learned a little bit about ancient English history and Western mythology. I've also written a lot of outlines and drafts, but they're just being published at this point in time. ”

"The same is true of the sci-fi that 'My Friend Mr. Einstein' and 'My Friend Mr. Tesla' like. I've written countless beginnings, countless plots, and countless endings in my head, which means that I've built a lot of parts and just waited for the right opportunity to put them together. ”

"It was my two film scripts that I put a lot of thought into because I had never thought about writing a movie script before I wrote them."

"Neo, speaking of your movie script, we all want to know when "Orphan of Famine" will be released? It's been more than a month since filming started. ”

"Adam, and listeners. It's not because I wrote the script that I'm here to brag about the movie. But "Famine Orphans" is not one of the shoddy productions that take a month or even a few days to make now, but an epoch-making masterpiece, so I implore everyone to give Mr. David Griffith and the film crew some time. I can guarantee that everyone will enjoy an unprecedented audio-visual feast. ”

"Neo, I can't wait for you to say that. But how can you guarantee it? ”

"Adam, let's do it, if someone is not satisfied with it, I will personally pay for his movie ticket back."

"Hahaha...... Listeners and friends, please remember that when "Famine Women" is released, you should keep the movie ticket stub, and if you are not satisfied, you can ask Dr. Yuan for a refund. Okay, let's take a break, after the ad we start answering the calls of our friends......"

"Coca-Cola, drink to death!"

"Ford's new Model T, drive home for a dollar!"

"In that far east, there is a majestic hundred-year-old mountain, and there is a sweet fairy water on the hundred-year-old mountain. The essence of water is the essence of the mountain herbs, and the recipe for 5,000 years has been brewed into 'U JIA PI'. A MOUTHFUL OF 'U JIA PI' EVERY DAY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIND A MIRACLE DOCTOR FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. ”

"Listeners, we're back. Then this is the first phone call......"

"Hello, is it me?"

"This lady, it's you. What do you call it? ”

"Oh oh, you can call me Vivian, can I talk to Dr. Yuan?"

"Hahaha, Neo, it seems that this is a loyal reader of your Chocolate Love. Please......"

"Ainuka, I'm Neo Yuan, and I'm glad to hear from you."

"Hello hello, I'm so happy too! I love your "Chocolate Love" so much!! I've watched it five times!! ”

"Thank you, Vivian. Do you have any questions? ”

"Yes, Dr. Yuan. I have a question for you, do the characters in this book really have archetypes? ”

"Vivian, there is. But they're all back in Europe. ”

"That's a shame! Dr. Yuan, can I ask for a copy of your signed "Chocolate of Love"? ”

"Vivian, of course. Later, you can leave the address at the front desk and I will send it to you. ”

"Thank you, Dr. Yuan, by the way, I would like to ask you about your relationship with Ms. Lillian-Guish......"

"I'm sorry, Vivian. We're on the second call, hello. ”

"Hello, my surname is Andrew. I have a question for Dr. Yuan. ”

"Mr. Andrew, may I ask."

"Dr. Yuan, I am a railway engineer who has just returned from your home country. It has to be said that the situation there is bad. Last year there was a war between the two warlords in the north of your country, and there was a great drought there, which can be called a thousand miles of red land. I'm not discriminating against you yellow people, but do you think you can use your knowledge when you return to a country like you? ”

"Mr. Andrew, thank you for your concern. I don't know if I will be able to use my knowledge when I return to China, and I don't know if I will be able to help my compatriots who have suffered many hardships after returning to China. But no matter where I am on the planet, I know that my motherland is there, and I want to return to my motherland! ”

"Dr. Yuan, although I am not very optimistic, I still wish you success."

"Mr. Andrew, thank you for your blessings. I'll make it, definitely! ”

"It's the third and final call, hello."

"Hello. Dr. Yuan, I have a request. ”

"This young lady, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you."

"Dr. Yuan, I, want, for, you, give birth, child, son!"

"Toot, toot, toot......"

"Neo, so you're leaving New York next month, leaving the United States, is there anything else you'd like to tell our listeners?"

"Listeners, although I am not in New York, a part of my heart is still here, please rest assured that I will continue to publish my work in the United States."

"Listeners, let's thank you for the arrival of NY of NY and wish him a safe journey."

"Thank you, Adam. Thank you, listeners, friends......"

"There will be a date later!"
