On the second day, the weather was a little overcast, which made people feel a little depressed.

The students of Huaxia Academy of Arts, all wearing their school uniforms, went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Originally, they were going to go by car, but at Ah Quan's suggestion, the students agreed to walk there, saying that walking was just half an hour's walk and that walking would also help their health.

Their group walked on the streets of the United States wearing Hanfu, and there were many handsome men and beautiful women among them, so their clothes were fluttering for a while, attracting many people to stop and take pictures.

Because it was a bit of a dazzling eye, so much so that a police officer came to ask what was going on. Good, after the police read the relevant vouchers, they let them go, and gave a thumbs up and said "good job!" ”

It's just that their hearts are as heavy as today's weather, so there is no joy on their faces.

Everyone knows what awaits them ahead.

Su Min and Wang Zicheng stood side by side in the square team of the class, holding hands and moving forward.

The classmates in the class were no longer surprised by them like this, so they all focused on walking their own path.

When the museum staff saw them, they were slightly stunned, as if they had never seen such a battle.

But when Ah Quan, who led the team, showed the relevant certificates, the staff didn't say anything and let him go directly.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, founded in 1870 and first opened on February 20, 1872, after several expansions, now covers an area of about 130,000 square meters.

Standing at the door, looking up, there is a feeling of Mount Tai pressing on the top, and then a magnificent feeling comes to the face.

The exhibition hall has three floors, mainly including paintings, sculptures, armor, Asian art, costumes, Egyptian art and other exhibitions.

And because of the large collection of the museum, some of the exhibits are open in different time slots.

Before Ah Quan came to the United States, he made an appointment with a tour guide, and the subsequent tour was arranged by the tour guide in an orderly manner.

They saw the changes in costumes around the world, the ancient Egyptian culture that once stood in ancient China, and the various arts that belonged to the same Asian cultural circle.

Of course, the most important thing for them is to see the cultural relics that belong to China in the Asian art exhibition area.

There are all kinds of Buddha statues, including stone carvings, wood carvings, murals, etc., among which the most shocking is the Yuan Dynasty mural "Medicine Master Sutra Change" from Guangsheng Xia Temple.

During the war, the mural was sold to American businessmen by people with ulterior motives.

When it was sold, the mural was dismembered into hundreds of pieces, and it was later restored by the Metropolitan Museum, where it was housed in the largest exhibition hall in the Chinese Pavilion.

In the center of the painting sits the Medicine Buddha, surrounded by twelve deities, with colorful divine light on their heads, surrounded by clouds and mist.

I don't know if it's because of the passage of time, many of the colors in the painting have faded, and the lines are a little blurred.

Even so, it did not affect the shock of this painting in Su Min's heart.

The face of the Buddha statue is vivid, and the twelve gods will have different postures, as if they are about to come to life.

I don't know what kind of ordeal this mural went through before it came here.

In addition to Buddha statues, there are all kinds of porcelain, jade, calligraphy, paintings, ornaments and so on.

Everyone's heart is extremely heavy, looking at these cultural relics, they seem to be telling their own history, and the people who look at them at this time are the people they once loved.

Every cultural relic is a work of art, and Su Min is naturally a little dazzled.

Her favorite is still those paintings and calligraphy, but she doesn't know that these are only a small part of the tens of thousands on display.

Every time she approached, she felt as if they were calling her, and the sinuous inkblots seemed to speak of the beauty of the writer's words. The Chinese painting outlined by one line seems to tell the great rivers and mountains of the past.

It's just that the former homeland, in that far east......

"Minmin." Wang Zicheng saw that the girl next to him was in a daze again, and couldn't help but remind him.

"Well, it's okay, I'll watch it." Su Min responded to his kindness with a smile, signaling that he was watching and admiring.

Soon, they ended their tour for the day, and Su Min had been pondering.

She somewhat understood why Wang Zicheng would say before that they were beautiful in exile.

At this moment, she really experienced that sad feeling, and she also somewhat understood why Xiao Yilin burst into tears when she saw them.

Perhaps, the reason why Xiao Yilin invited them, in addition to cultural exchanges, he also wanted foreigners to see that China, which was once plundered by them, is standing proudly in the east of the world today.

She also has a deeper understanding of what her school is doing, and the beauty that has been inherited is now on the way back, and she is doing such a thing, and she feels full of gratification.

"Zicheng." On the way back, Su Min, who had not spoken, looked at the people around him and called his name softly.

"They, can they still go home?" Gently, I asked.

Wang Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer her for a while.

After a long time, Su Min felt that the hand holding him tightened. Listen to him whisper in his own ear, "Yes, they will come home when we are truly strong." ”

The wanderer who wanders out has to go home after all, doesn't he?

Even if we're not strong yet......

But one day, they will be brought back to the other side of the ocean by us.

It's just that after returning to the hotel, Su Min fell ill for no reason, and she didn't know what nonsense she was talking in a daze.

Ah Quan and Wang Zicheng were in a hurry because they were going on a goodwill visit to Hamilton College in northern New York State the next day.

In the United States, it is very difficult to see a doctor, and looking at Su Min's appearance, it seems that she can't get up to go to the hospital.

Wen Jing looked at the two anxious people walking around the room.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she looked at Ah Quan and said, "Teacher Su, is that business card still there?" ”

Ah Quan was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered that he was going to find an old friend, so he took out his business card from his coat pocket.

"She just looks like she has a cold, there's no need to trouble people......" Ah Quan looked at Wen Jing with some unconfidence and dialed the phone number, because he was afraid that the other party would refuse.

But Wen Jing couldn't take care of it so much, and the sick girl looked very uncomfortable!

"Hey, hello. Is Mr. Xiao Yilin here? ”

……

The other party asked a simple question, not only promised Wen Jing, but also said that he would come over as soon as possible.

"Looks like you don't have to check with your old friends, you'll know when they come." Wen Jing smiled and returned the business card to Ah Quan, breathing a sigh of relief.

Ah Quan smiled awkwardly, "That's not good, it's already been agreed, and now Quan is reunited as friends." ”

After speaking, he looked at the time, and the hour hand had already pointed to six o'clock in the afternoon, so he panicked and went out, "Minmin, please ask you, what to do tomorrow, you discuss it first!" ”

When he went out, Ah Quan stopped a taxi and didn't know where he went.

"Hey, old friend, I haven't seen you for so many years, how are you doing?"
