Chapter 541: I Have Conditions
541
Sun Li has a very harmonious relationship with Professor Zhang Qiang's family, as if she is the daughter of two old men.
So she was very casual at Zhang Qiang's house, and would even sneak to the kitchen to steal something from the pot to eat.
"This kid ......" Zhang Qiang glanced at Sun Li and shook her head, her eyes full of love.
After a moment, he looked at Chen Beiming: "Xiaoshan, please come here." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
The two of them politely sat down on the sofa in the living room.
is completely different from their politeness, but Sun Li at this moment doesn't care about her image at all, holding a big bone while crossing her legs on the sofa.
"Elder Zhang, Xiaoshan is here to ask you a few questions today, you must know everything, oh, yes, just like you taught me." Sun Li said.
The old man smiled, but did not answer.
Chen Beiming hurriedly said: "Old Zhang, it's like this, I'm writing a book these days. ”
He was interrupted by Zhang Qiang before he said this: "What kind of clash of civilizations did you talk about in the show a few days ago?" ”
"Yes." Chen Beiming nodded.
"How old are you?" Zhang Qiang suddenly asked without warning.
Yes?
Chen Beiming was stunned for a moment.
Then, after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly replied: "Elder Zhang, I am twenty-two years old today, and I am twenty-one years old. ”
He came here in 1995, when he was nineteen, and now it's 1998, so it's twenty-one.
"Twenty-one?" Zhang Qiang was startled when she heard this age, and Sun Li next to her was also taken aback, she forgot to gnaw on her bones, the two of them looked at each other, their expressions were a little strange, the two of them had long known that Chen Beiming was very young, but he was so young that he was ...... That's scary!
The reason why Zhang Qiang asked Chen Beiming's age was to warn him and let him understand that it was completely out of place to write a book like "The Clash of Civilizations" at his age, but at this moment, he was frightened by Chen Beiming's age and even forgot about it.
"Zhang Lao, I want to write this book, called "The Clash of Civilizations and the Reconstruction of the International Order", the reason why I want to write this book is because I found that many people in our Xia Kingdom have a delusion, everyone seems to think that the 21st century must be a peaceful century, war and conflict must be far away from everyone, Zhang Lao should know, I wrote a book "How far is war from us" before, after the publication of this book, it was very popular, but I found that many people do not take it seriously, everyone still instinctively thinks, The 21st century is certainly still very peaceful, so I want to use this book to tell you why I feel that war is not far away, what are the reasons, and what are the deep-seated roots? This is one of them.
Second, since the end of the Cold War, the old ideological disputes and geopolitical games no longer exist, so I would like to try to answer the question of how the world's political order will change and reorganize in the future international politics. Third, I also hope that I can make my own predictions about the future development of the world, and at least give you a constructive guide. ”
Chen Beiming also expounded the ins and outs of the book "The Clash of Civilizations" and its great political and strategic significance.
After listening to Chen Beiming's statement, Zhang Qiang's brows furrowed tightly, and after a while, he raised his head and asked: "Since you have so much research on civilization, then let me ask you, what do you think of the recent anti-pluralistic trend of thought in the United States and the West, some American and Western experts claim that the United States and the West cannot engage in social and cultural pluralism, otherwise, in the long run, the American and Western culture will be washed to pieces by other cultures, and the final result is the complete disappearance of the American and Western cultures, what do you think of this trend of thought?" ”
Chen Beiming replied calmly: "This is exactly a point of view that I want to expound in this book, I think that in order to achieve unprecedented high-speed development in the future era, all civilizations cannot be closed to themselves, they must be open and integrated, and this is precisely the advantage of our Chinese civilization, throughout human history, we will find that one civilization after another has been submerged in the historical trend, but only the Chinese civilization has been growing vigorously, even if it encounters an invasion of foreign enemies that cannot be lowered, civilization has not been destroyed, the key key, It is because our Chinese civilization has its own unique characteristics, that is, openness and tolerance, as well as strong assimilation ability. And this is the theoretical basis for the rise of our Xia Kingdom and Chinese civilization, and it is also to publicize to the people of the world that the rise of our Xia Kingdom must be a peaceful rise, and will not be like some countries, and its own rise will be the road to the demise of other nations and countries. ”
Zhang Qiang looked at Chen Beiming fixedly for a long time, and then he retracted his gaze and smiled: "Xiaoshan, you are not ambitious!" ”
Theoretically prove the unique charm and advantages of Chinese civilization, and then launch the rise of the Xia Kingdom is definitely a peaceful rise, the world does not have to worry, and there is no such thing as the "Xia State Threat Theory" advocated by some countries, this project is really not a small project, it is too huge.
But there is no doubt that if it is done, it will have a huge impact. In this way, the uniqueness of the Chinese civilization and the rise of the Xia Kingdom will be theoretically proven, which will be of immeasurable merit to both the Xia Kingdom and the whole world.
Hearing Zhang Qiang say that he was not small, Chen Beiming scratched his head, this project is really a bit ambitious, if it wasn't for the system's compulsion, he really didn't have the courage to do this.
Of course, this can't be said, he can't show his stuff.
So he smiled and said: "Although the ambition is not small, but the ability is still a little unable to keep up, no, Zhang Lao, didn't I just come to the door?" I heard that Sister Sun Li said that you are an expert in the field of Chinese civilization studies, so I came to ask you a few questions today. ”
"Do you have a lot of questions?" Zhang Qiang suddenly asked without a head.
"Many, lot, I guess I have to ask for three days and three nights." Chen Beiming hurriedly replied humbly.
"You only have the problem of Chinese civilization?" Zhang Qiang suddenly asked again.
"Of course, there are other problems, the civilization of the United States and the West, the civilization of Saudi Arabia, the civilization of the Red Sea region, there are many things that I still don't understand." Chen Beiming hurriedly said.
Zhang Qiang suddenly smiled like an old fox: "To tell you a good news, I have studied these things, although I have not studied the professional history of civilization, but I know the development and history of all countries in the world and the ins and outs, moreover, I am the only person in Xia Country who has this ability, I understand English, Saudi Chinese, listening, speaking, reading and writing are you can test, I can understand the language of the country, and even the African indigenous language I can barely understand some." ”
When Chen Beiming heard this, his eyes lit up: "Old Zhang, really? Are you so good? ”
He wasn't suspicious, he was just very surprised.
Next to him, Sun Li said proudly: "Of course, you don't want to think about whose teacher he is!" The teacher is not good, can my student have this level? ”
Chen Beiming was overjoyed, and looked at Zhang Qiang with burning eyes: "Elder Zhang, then please be sure to guide me." ”
"It's not impossible to point, but ...... I have conditions. Zhang Qiang replied with a smile.
"Conditions? What conditions? Chen Beiming asked.
"You're going to be my student, and if you're my student, I'll be able to teach you all these things." Zhang Qiang said.
As soon as this sentence came out, Chen Beiming was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Not only him, but even Sun Li was so frightened that her hand loosened, and the big bone fell on the sofa: "Old Zhang, what do you mean?" Am I already your closed disciple? Why are you accepting students again? ”
Zhang Qiang smiled: "The door is a thing, who said that it can't be opened after it's closed?" ”
