What caused a shock was the news published by Shanghai Ta Kung Pao -- Zhang Taiyan, a master of Chinese studies, was invited by the Nanhua government to inspect and give lectures in Nanhua.

He was accompanied by Xu Wei and several other well-known scholars from the former Guangfu Society, who formed a grand southbound team.

When the news broke, public opinion was sensational. Zhang Taiyan is an academic master, and even he went to Nanhua, which shows that Nanhua must have some charm to attract him.

"It's funny." In the Shanghai Commercial Press, a handsome man put down the newspaper and couldn't help but look at the huge picture in the newspaper again: a passenger ship full of passengers departed from Shanghai Port, carrying not only Zhang Taiyan and other celebrities, but also thousands of workers recruited by the Meihua Company, who had dreams, as if the ocean behind the ship contained new power.

Didi!

A car stopped at the door of the Commercial Press, and a woman in a white dress got out of the car, she had a pair of dreamy blue eyes, and her black hair was coiled high, revealing a delicate and fair face, slightly raised, looking a little proud.

She looked at the plaque in the printing house, her chest heaving slightly, a little nervous.

"Is this it? Surname? She turned back to the carriage and spoke.

"Of course." Song Meiling smiled and stuck out her head, "Call me when you're done, and I'll send someone to pick you up." Good luck. ”

After speaking, Song Meiling drilled back and told the driver to drive.

Watching the car go away, Edith turned around, took a deep breath, stood on tiptoe, and walked into the printing house in a graceful manner.

Seeing a clean and fair-skinned foreign woman come in, the staff of the printing house were a little surprised.

"Trouble, I'll find Mr. Hu Shi." Edith asked. Before coming to Shanghai, she had already learned Chinese, and although she didn't speak it very well, the staff could still tell the difference.

It turned out that she was looking for Mr. Hu upstairs, and the staff nodded, a little curious about the blue eyes of this foreign woman, but they didn't dare to look at each other. Immediately shrank back.

"Mr. Hu is inside, you can go in!" The young staff member took Edith to the door of Hu Shi's office and went downstairs, not forgetting to look twice.

Edith walked in. Seeing a man sitting at his desk, the sunlight shone in through the windowsill behind the man, and slowly the familiar figure in her mind coincided with the man in front of her.

"Hu—" Edith couldn't help but say.

"Huh?" Hu Shi raised his head, his eyes collided with the blue emotional eyes, and his heart was hit hard, and a fierce electric current surged all over his body.

"Edith, why are you?" Hu Shi stood up excitedly. Striding straight over, the distance in front of Edith was stopped by a step.

"Hu, it's really you, that's great!" Edith couldn't help but throw herself into Hu Shi's arms, hugging the man who had made her miss for six years.

Hu Shi trembled, hesitated, and then took Edith in his arms.

Edith's full name is Edith? Clifford? Williams, (at a very large time.) Williams is also translated as Willians), whose father was a professor of geology at Cornell University.

In 1913, a beautiful moment. Hu Shih, a young Chinese student, lives in Professor Williams' home, and as soon as he enters, he sees a warm smile like sunshine that he will never forget.

The erudite Edith was proud, she looked at the polite and gentle Chinese man in front of her with some pride and curiosity, and smiled gently: "Hello, I'm Edith." I'll do my best to help you get acquainted with life in the United States. ”

Thus began the relationship between the two, and Edith's intellectuality, independence, rationality, and erudition deeply attracted Hu Shi, and at the same time profoundly influenced this young Chinese who had just arrived in the United States.

In subsequent interactions, Hu Shi was deeply impressed by Edith's style and talent, and wrote in his diary: "The lady has a high level of vision. It is not an ordinary woman's shoulders and backs, and there are many women I have seen, and they can really have thoughts, knowledge, courage, and enthusiasm in one body. ”

It is difficult for lovers to become married, and although the two have a heart-to-heart relationship and are the only ones who can resonate with each other spiritually, they still have to separate after graduation. Only a few letters can be relied on every year to sustenance lovesickness.

Edith's appearance made Hu Shi unable to help himself, holding this warm body, his heart tightly together, as if two souls were resonating and trembling.

Hu Shi was full of emotion in his heart: it was this American woman who was a few years older than herself who guided herself to become a confident, idealistic, mature and thoughtful man.

Ahem!

After a long time, the two reluctantly let go and calmed down a little. Hu Shi looked out of the door with some weakness, saw that there was no one, quietly, secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and closed the door with his hand.

"Huh. Hu, you're still so cautious and subtle. Edith smiled, a pair of beautiful eyes staring greedily at Hu Shi.

When they met again, the man was more mature and accomplished, and he had become an important figure in the country's intellectual circles.

There was a little more pride in Edith's eyes. Hu Shi's expression just now made her very satisfied, this man still belongs to hers, at least mentally.

"Edith, why are you here?" Hu Shi was surprised.

"I missed you, I couldn't help but come over. Didn't bother you, did you? Edith smiled playfully, undisguised as hot as she saw in her eyes.

This American girl is still so direct and bold, and her enthusiasm is still the same. Hu Shi smiled, looking a little shy. "Huh. I was pleasantly surprised, it felt like a dream. ”

"This time, our whole family came over, and now we're staying at a friend's house."

Edith said with a smile.

"Professor Williams and Mrs. Williams are here too? I'm going to visit them. Hu Shi said.

During the time he lived in Professor Williams' home, he received a lot of help from the Williams family, and every member of the family helped him enthusiastically.

"Hmm. They miss you too. We're all proud of what you've accomplished. Edith looked at Hu Shi with admiration and said in her heart: This man led a vigorous cultural movement, changed the traditions of this thousand-year-old country, made great progress in this country's culture, and he also became the most famous scholar.

Edith has always paid attention to Hu Shi, and she remembers every achievement Hu Shi has made, and shares his achievements from the bottom of her heart.

Hu Shi had a faint smile on his face, and he was a little excited in his heart, the breakthrough of the New Culture Movement is indeed something to be proud of, but there is still a lot to be done. Change is not enough.

Thinking of the situation in this country, a trace of pride in his heart immediately disappeared, and he felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier.

"By the way, you came to Shanghai so suddenly?" Hu Shi asked.

"We were passing through here. After a few days of rest in Shanghai, we continued to take a boat to Nanhua. Edith explained, looking at Hu Shi's haggard face, her heart ached, "Are you okay?" I want to hear about you, I heard, are you sick? ”

"It's a sickness. I took a year off from school. But now it's much better, and I happen to have a friend working here, so I come over to help out when I'm free. ”

Hu Shi's heart warmed, if Edith came a day late, he might have to go to Hangzhou to recuperate. However, the arrival of Edith made Hu Shi's heart a little excited, and made him faintly feel that his formation was about to change.

"I know there's a good café at the corner of the street, let's go sit there!" Hu Shiti said.

"Good!"

Don't complain about it. With so much to talk about, the two had a great day at a nearby café. Intense coffee aroma. The faint warmth that lingers in each other's hearts has not been in their hearts for a long time.

Looking at Hu Shi's mature and gentle face, Edith smiled sweetly. She is in her thirties, well maintained, and still so white and clear. However, he is still unmarried, mainly because no one can touch his soul like him.

"This coffee tastes awesome! I never seem to have drunk it. Edith praised.

"This is the latest popular Sumatran coffee in Shanghai, with a unique taste, I have been here once and I remember it." Hu Shi explained.

"Sumatra? That's Nanhua. I didn't expect there to be such wonderful coffee there. Edith laughed.

Hu Shi felt a little unbelievable that the Williams family was going to South China, and he hesitated. Or asked, "Why do you think you want to go to Nanhua?" ”

"After you left the United States, my dad moved to William University in Los Angeles, and he was very interested in geology, and not long ago William University sent some faculty to South China, and my dad was one of them.

He was also commissioned by an oil company to study a geological project on the island of Sumatra. I followed. I think Nanhua is relatively close to you. ”

Edith said with some emotion, it was not easy to think alone through his Pacific thoughts, and only his academic achievements or the occasional letter could contain her crazy thoughts a little.

He had his life, and she didn't want to mess with him, but when her father, Professor Williams, considered whether or not to go to South China, she immediately exerted a positive influence. Well, even if you meet once!

"Is that so?" Hu Shi was slightly surprised.

"Recently, South China has become a hot topic, and you can often encounter advertisements for South China, and many people have emigrated to South China, including workers and scholars. It feels like Europeans are running to New York non-stop. ”

Hu Shi said with a smile. When they were in New York, the two had a year of unforgettable lives.

"My trip will be exciting, please tell me that the scenery is beautiful, maybe I can write a column or go to school to teach for a while in South China." Edith laughed.

"Or you can go too! Just take it as a trip, or accompany me, you're on vacation anyway. Edith looked forward to it, and a pair of beautiful eyes revealed a strong reluctance to make Hu Shi's heart soften, and he nodded homeopathically.

"It's great that we can be together again, at least enough time for us to discuss each other's concerns. You know, in just a few years, the world has completely changed. ”

Edith excitedly.

Spiritually, the two have a lot of resonance, she likes this way of discussing with Hu Shi very much, beyond **, beyond marriage, faintly, there is a kind of breathtaking power.

The sunset and dusk shroud the whole city with a hazy beauty, which makes people feel enchanted, like the twilight path of Cornell University's campus.

"Oops! I forgot to inform Ms. Song, she may be waiting for me. Edith was suddenly surprised.

The two returned to the Commercial Press, and sure enough, they saw a magnificent car parked at the door.

"Let me introduce you to Ms. Soong Mei Ling, who is an admirable woman with a high level of achievement in business and social philanthropy. This is my friend Mr. Hu Shih, who is a great talent. ”

Edith smiled and looked at Hu Shi with some pride.

"Hello, Mr. Hu! I've always wanted to get to know you! I didn't expect you to be Edith's friend, it's great. ”

Song Meiling smiled, her eyes fell on Edith's slightly flushed face, and then looked at Hu Shi, whose face was a little restrained, thoughtfully.

"Hello, Miss Song. I've heard your name too, and you're a representative of the new woman. Hu Shi smiled.

Looking at the radiant Song Meiling, he was secretly vigilant in his heart, because this woman was not simple, and his friend in the Commercial Press also told Hu Shi that this Song Meiling was still one of the behind-the-scenes bosses of the Commercial Press, and she had a very strong strength in the poster industry.

The news that others dare not report, her "Ta Kung Pao" is brazenly and fearlessly reported, even the government or the Shanghai Youth Gang have not been criticized by her newspaper.

And this woman is still alive and well, not half a hair has fallen out, in Shanghai, she is a character!

Hu Shi is a scholar, not a nerd, and seeing that Song Meiling and the Williams family are friendly, he immediately thought that this woman should be able to have a close relationship with Nanhua.

"In the evening, we will pick up the wind and wash the dust for Professor Williams's family, Mr. Hu, get in the car!" Song Meiling's tone had a momentum that could not be refused, and she didn't wait for Hu Shi to refuse after she finished speaking, and sat in the car, and the demeanor of a strong woman was undoubtedly revealed.

At William Manor, Hu Shi met the Williams couple, and everyone greeted them.

"Song, this place is so beautiful, like a dream palace." Edith visited William's Gardens and said excitedly. Hu Shi followed by him, and he had always paid attention to spiritual enjoyment, and he had to agree with Edith's words.

"The house is my friend's. They went to Nanhua, they were empty, and I hope you are satisfied. Hehe, there are enough rooms here, you can choose at will, and you can tell the housekeeper if you have something. Song Meiling said.

"It's a shame. I would like to thank the hosts. Edith regretted.

"It doesn't matter. When you go to South China, you will soon be able to meet them, they are very generous people. Song Meiling said with a smile. After showing Edith around, she went home, leaving Hu Shi as the Williams family.

Without Song Meiling's light bulb, Edith and the two felt much more relaxed, and when they passed the dance hall downstairs, Edith asked with a smile: "Hu, don't you invite me to dance?" ”

"Of course."

Wine, music, and the small but fine library in the manor made for a few wonderful days for Hu Shi and William's family.

A qiē is so beautiful that people can't extricate themselves.

A few days later, the Williams family set off from Shanghai and went to the South Seas, with an extra distinguished guest on board.
