Chapter Ninety-Seven: One Earth
Although, in essence, Zhou Nan used to work in Arnhem as a helper for the Germans.
But because of Zhou Nan's fame, and because he didn't do anything to bully the Dutch during his time in Arnhem, he also married a Dutch descendant. So emotionally, the Dutch have a natural sense of closeness to Zhou Nan.
Especially after the dispute between Zhou Nan and Le Monde, Mrs. Hemstra returned to Arnhem last time, and was recognized by many Arnhem residents, and the Dutch regarded Zhou Nan as their own son-in-law.
Even if Audrey's actual identity should be British.
Every time the Dutch media reported on Zhou Nan, they seemed very friendly. From the first World Economic Forum, Zhou Nan sent a discussion about the future of the Netherlands to the Dutch government, and the Dutch government also praised Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan was hospitalized this time, and the Dutch royal family and government also sent letters of condolence, flowers and gifts.
This also made Zhou Nan optimistic about the purpose of his trip to the Netherlands to a certain extent.
In Europe, I don't feel hot in summer, especially when the carriage has a few vents, and the cool wind blows in, which adds a bit of comfort.
Only when passing through Luxembourg came a heavy rain, the vents were closed, and the inside of the carriage became a little stuffy.
Zhou Nan and Etinny finally finalized the script of their speech to Arnhem, and both of them relaxed. "Where's the convoy?"
"It's past the scorching Belgian sun, and it's about to enter the Netherlands." Not very well, so Nord has been nesting in a single sofa specially prepared by him, looking at the scenery outside.
Melissa, who had been bored for a long time, saw Zhou Nan and them put away the information, and immediately became happy. "Jonas, you're done with work, aren't you?"
Zhou Nan nodded with a smile and smiled at Audrey. Audrey glanced at the gramophone in front of the car, and Zhou Nan understood. "Melissa wants to listen to music?"
Melissa nodded, and said like a little adult, "It's boring, I want to listen to music, but I can't disturb your work." ”
Zhou Nan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Melissa is so good, what music do you want to listen to?" ”
"I'll ...... myself," she leaned on the couch to the gramophone, picked out a record and put it in, and in a few moments a symphony of fate began.
Hearing this uplifting music, Zhou Nan also closed his eyes and enjoyed it. In this day and age, who isn't fighting against fate?
He is fortunate to be able to change his fate, but most people can only wait for the verdict of fate.
A few minutes later, the record was finished, and Melissa skillfully switched sides. Everyone didn't feel troublesome, only Zhou Nan felt that this was the most unpleasant time to listen to music.
The record is only three minutes on one side, and six or seven minutes on both sides. A heroic symphony lasts thirty-three minutes, and it takes five discs.
Moreover, the cost of film remains high, and in this day and age, enjoying music is still a relatively luxurious thing.
The convoy arrived at the border between Belgium and the Netherlands, as the two countries were originally one country. It is only because of the contradictions between the German-speaking and French-speaking regions that they are divided into two countries.
But after the separation, the relationship between the two countries has been relatively good, and the border is also like a non-existent one. It's just that a convoy like Zhou Nan still has to stop and check.
The car hadn't stopped, and Feward, who was sitting in the driver's seat, turned around and shouted, "Jonas, there's a welcoming crowd here at the border. ”
Zhou Nan was unable to move, so Etinny leaned over to the window and looked around, then turned around and said, "It looks like a welcome team organized by Dutch university students, and it is still holding a flag." ”
Zhou Nan hadn't decided what to do, so Nord had already said: "College students have always been the mainstream of society, since we are famous, Jonas you still have your own purpose, then when you go to the Netherlands, you should gather momentum." ”
Zhou Nan nodded and said, "Audrey, wait a minute, let's get off together......"
Audrey asked Stephanie to look at her hair and replied, "Of course, this is my home turf." ”
Since the two broke through that relationship, and after Zhou Nan was shot, he lost everyone in front of her, and he was no longer a god-like guardian in Audrey's eyes, but a living person.
The little girl's wings are stiff, and she has learned to tease Zhou Nan, but this has made the hearts of the two people closer, and the relationship is better.
The car stopped, and a large group of young people immediately gathered behind the car, all of them full of vigor and youthful smiles on their faces.
They pulled up two banners, one that read "Jonas, welcome home" and the other that read "One Earth, One Europe".
Just from these two banners, you can already see their attitude.
Audrey tidied up the clothes on her body a little nervously, and from Zhou Nan's left side, she held his hip bone.
As soon as Feward and Etinny got up and down, they opened the carriage and lowered the ladder, and there was immediately a round of applause from below.
Zhou Nan appeared in front of everyone, and the applause became more intense. Zhou Nan showed a gentle smile, stretched out his right hand to wave to everyone, and with the support of Audrey, he staggered down the suspension ladder.
As soon as he got out of the car, Zhou Nan was immediately surrounded by these young people. The two guards who got off the other car were in a hurry, shouting loudly to be calm, while trying their best to protect Zhou Nan from being squeezed by these young people.
After a while, the following calmed down, and Zhou Nan didn't put up any shelf, shaking hands with the team of about forty or fifty people one by one.
This scene is the favorite of the reporters accompanying the team, who keep taking photos from all angles.
These dozens of young people didn't even come together, one from Amsterdam and the other from The Hague, all of them college students on vacation. In this era, only college students are slow and easy to connect, and others have no phone and no organization, so it is not easy to get together.
Since the speech was already ready to arrive in Arnhem, Zhou Nan did not give a long speech here. I just thanked them and took a photo with them, promising to send them to their school.
However, these students were not so easy to dismiss, and they traveled long distances, not just to meet Zhou Nan at the border, but to listen to Zhou Nan's speech.
Everyone knows the experience of the past two months, and the level of Zhou Nan's speech is very high.
However, there are still many people who regret it, because Zhou Nan's arm is still hanging, and it seems that if you want to listen to his flute today, you won't have a chance.
The convoy continued to depart, with two more trucks behind it.
The students are not as particular as Zhou Nan, standing in the back compartment one by one, singing loudly all the way, and Zhou Nan is full of envy.
Although he is still young, his mentality is already old, and he can no longer enjoy such carefree happiness.
Follow the road parallel to the German border and head north.
In the evening, the car finally stopped on the side of the street garden in front of the main house of the Arnhemstra family.
Thousands of Arnhem people spontaneously came to greet them, and the small street garden was crowded with water.
Arnhem City Hall was already ready, not only setting up a simple stage, but also connecting to the radio. Not only the entire square, but also the entire city and the whole country, as long as they tune in to this channel, they can receive Zhou Nan's speech signal.
The main purpose of his visit to the Netherlands was to attend Ian's wedding, but of course, this was only on the surface.
From such a warm welcome from Arnhem City Hall, it can also be known that at this time, no one cares about Ian's wedding, they only care about what Zhou Nan will give today.
But at this time, Zhou Nan naturally did not talk about those heavy realities, but started a relationship with the Dutch.
"When I came to beautiful Europe from 38 years, most of that time was spent in peaceful Arnhem. And here I also had the good fortune of meeting the girl I loved, who became the son-in-law of the Dutchman. So, in my heart, this has become my second home. ”
Zhou Nan beckoned to Audrey behind the stage, although she was a little shy, but after all, she also had experience in performing on stage, and this was also her hometown, so she came to the front of the stage generously and stood by Zhou Nan's side.
When the people of Arnhem saw the pair of beautiful people on the stage, they couldn't help but coax, and the audience also burst into applause of blessings.
"Although Arnhem was still in the stage of German control at that time, I did not come to Holland for the purpose of purity. But I'm always glad that I've never raised my fist or raised my gun against any Dutchman. Dutch, German, Chinese, in my heart, there is only one term, and that is earthling. ”
From his own experience, Zhou Nan took the topic to a higher level. It also pointed out the main topic of today, that is, "one world, one homeland".
"The earth is our common home, we are born, lived, and even died under the same blue sky. The vicissitudes of the sea, the world changes, the only thing that remains unchanged is that this is the only home of human beings. Although we belong to different countries and different peoples, when we look farther, we will find that all wars are meaningless......"
Zhou Nan has always used the concept of universal values to guide the concept of peace for all people in a sensational tone, and used various examples to explain the protection of the earth that human beings should do.
Finally, the perspective shifts from macro to micro, from groups to individuals.
"Instead of destroying our only home, we should come to guard him, to protect him, to protect him, and although we will die, we can leave a better world for our descendants......"
(Postponed on the shelves, my heart is like numbness, this chapter code was a little out of the state at the beginning, but today I feel that nothing has changed.) Yesterday, there was a leader of the alliance, a leader, and today there are four chapters...... I would say that there are no more manuscripts. There are so many people to be grateful for today, and I want to find out one by one. )
