Spring in Hannover seems to come later than elsewhere, just as the late autumn is a slow winter, and the seasons change with a twist. Experts say it's due to the influence of the North Sea and Baltic Sea monsoons, but Zhuo Yang believes it's the city's nostalgia for time.

It's already March, and the snow on the roadside and the oak trees is still stubbornly there, but it looks mottled and cluttered, and they seem to be trying to laugh at the early spring sun, but they can't stop the calmness of the sun.

Zhuo Yang likes to let the sunlight shine on his body at will through the glass of the large floor-to-ceiling window in such an early morning. Set up a small table by the window, put a tea set, boil boiling water to brew a new tea, and then lie on the rocking chair, while drinking the sweet rhyme of tea, while bearing the gentle and comfortable touch of the warm sun on the body, in such a satisfying comfort, so people have a sense of inertia of worry and fear.

The team didn't have to train in the morning, and there was nothing to do in school today, so it was originally a very leisurely morning, and playing the piano was gone, but Zhuo Yang had to rush to the peninsula.

An official from the Department of Culture of the German Foreign Ministry and Counselor Zhang of the Chinese Consulate in Lower Saxony made an appointment with Zhuo Yang to meet and discuss in detail. It has to do with Beverly Deng, who is far away in South Africa.

Beverly followed the crew of the famous director Jean Jacques to shoot in South Africa, and the filming of the film went smoothly and was completed a few days ago. After that, there was a lot of post-production, dubbing, soundtrack, editing, compositing, etc., which was no easier and time-consuming than shooting, but it had nothing to do with Beverly.

Originally, the crew of "Butterfly" packed their bags and prepared to leave, but they suddenly received a notice: Please stay for a while, Nelson Mandela, the father of the nation and former president of South Africa, will meet the crew of "Butterfly" at a certain time.

Mandela doesn't need to be introduced, no matter how controversial the evaluation is, there is no doubt that his influence is huge. So Jean Jacques and his crew stayed in Cape Town for the time being, waiting for Mandela's call. Because he is not in good health when he is older, all of Mandela's public activities must be carried out when his physical condition allows, so everyone has to wait. And such a heavyweight old man is also worth waiting for.

The public appearance of any influential politician is not as simple as it seems, either to show a presence or to send a political signal. We don't know exactly why Mandela met with a film crew from France, but everyone knows that Mandela and Jean Jacques have known each other for a long time, and the famous director and leader of the African independence movement are also old friends.

Mandela also has the duty and responsibility to support South Africa's bid to host the 2010 World Cup, even though South Africa does not have any serious competitors.

Finally received a notice that he could meet, Jean Jacques visited Mandela's mansion with a carefully selected group of eight crew members in accordance with the number of people given by the South African government, and Beverly Deng, the second female lead in "Butterfly", was among them, and she and the heroine Audrey Tatu were named by Mandela's staff to be present.

The interview process was the same, and the three cameras deployed by the on-site TV station were larger than the filming array. Mandela shook hands with each member of the crew of "Butterfly" cordially, and when they arrived at Beverly, they had a relationship with Zhuo Yang. Beverly is currently just a newcomer stepping on the edge of the entertainment industry, and her fame mainly comes from the identity of Zhuo Yang's girlfriend.

- "I love watching Zhuo Yang play, I'm a fan of him, and I'm looking forward to coming to South Africa in 2010 for the World Cup. ”

Whatever the purpose of Mandela's public appearance, it was clear that the phrase was building momentum for South Africa's bid to host the 2010 World Cup. As a public figure with great influence in the world, Zhuo Yang has to respond to both public and private, politeness and rules.

That's why the German and Chinese diplomatic departments came to Zhuo Yang.

Nelson Mandela is a political leader who can influence the world, and Zhuo Yang is also a well-known public figure, so the response must not be nonsense, not as polite as a family routine, and even must be carefully worded, so as not to send a misleading signal to the outside world.

For example, welcome the Honourable Mr. Mandela to China.

This sentence is okay with others in private, but with Zhuo Yang's identity and Mandela's political status, it is easy to misunderstand.

Mandela wondered if this was an unofficial invitation from the Chinese government to visit Zhuo Yang; The current South African government will consider whether the Chinese government has any new moves on its policy towards Africa; Some anti-government tribes in South Africa wonder if this is a sign that the Chinese government is unhappy with us.

Another example: many of my friends in Germany say that South Africa is a beautiful country, and they love it even though it's far away.

There is no problem with this sentence, but combined with the identities of both sides and the current situation, it may make the South African government and the Football Association misunderstand that this is the German side said that it can conditionally support South Africa's bid to host the 2010 World Cup. You know, the German Football Association has not decided whether to support South Africa or Egypt.

When it comes to politics, it's always going to be troublesome.

The Cultural Counsellor of the Department of Culture of the German Foreign Ministry and the Chinese Consulate in Lower Saxony came to teach Zhuo Yang what to say and what not to say.

This is a common sense, but also a very normal phenomenon, both China and the West, there is nothing surprising, political prudence and hypocrisy, as well as esoteric and sensitive, has always been the case. Zhuo Yang is not a rebellious and stubborn person, just listen to people's persuasion if you don't understand.

- Thank you very much Mr. Nelson Mandela for the compliments he has given me, which will be the motivation for me to continue my efforts. Mr. Mandela was a very respected elder and I enjoyed reading many of his writings. South Africa is a beautiful country and I think it would be an honour for me to be able to play in the World Cup there.

After that, in front of the camera of German national television, Zhuo Yang made a very polite and formal response to Mandela, and presented Mr. Mandela with a Madiburg No. 18 jersey on behalf of the Madiburg club, which not only represents Zhuo Yang's number, but also wishes Mandela, who was born in 1918, a healthy and long life.

.

"Zhuo Yang, if you encounter any difficulties in life and study in Germany, you can come to the consulate to find us, or you can come to me directly."

"Hehe, definitely. Hey, Counselor Zhang, why don't you stay and have a light meal before leaving......"

Politely sending off the more polite Counselor Zhang, Zhuo Yang ran to the balcony of Uncle Scum's office and watched with interest the icebreaker that rumbled slowly in the canal.

It's time for Beverly to come back!
