[[[cp|w:250|h:190|a:c]]] Civilization cipher

After eleven hours of flight, Lan Xingyi finally set foot on this land that was the first to enter modern civilization. The organizer of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info very thoughtful, Lan Xingyi just got off the plane and someone came to pick her up, the person who came was a thin and tall young man, with a tall straight nose, fair skin, golden curly hair, and he walked very handsomely.

"Hello, Miss Lan Xingyi! I'm Kevin Brain, and I'm so happy to meet you! The Englishman came over warmly and shook hands.

"Hello!" Lan Xingyi also stretched out her hand. Because I have lived in China for a long time, and I have been influenced by the culture of angry youth, I still look arrogant when I go abroad, and my sunglasses have not been taken off, like a queen inspecting her own country, we have 5,000 years of civilization, which of you can compare! The British young man didn't mind very much, and after smiling secretly, he took the trolley case in her hand very enthusiastically, Lan Xingyi politely said thank you, and the two walked out of the terminal side by side.

"It's been a hard journey!" Kevin was speechless.

"The journey went well!" Lan Xingyi said politely, and then turned her head suspiciously and asked. "How did you find me?"

"Ah, it's your mentor, Mr. An Guangsha, who sent me a photo of your ID and briefly described your situation, and it was easy to find it!" Kevin laughed.

"You know?"

"Well, it's an acquaintance, Mr. An came before, and I received it, so it can be regarded as an exchange!"

"Hmm," Lan Xingyi nodded indifferently.

"Miss Lan, do you know your itinerary?" Kevin asked earnestly.

"I don't know! My tutor said everything would be arranged here! ”

"Yes, it's late today, we're staying overnight in London and tomorrow by train to Cambridge!"

"What? Is Cambridge University not in the City of London? Lan Xingyi asked with some surprise.

"No, the University of Cambridge is in the city of Cambridge! Doesn't Miss Lan know? Kevin was also a little surprised, but soon he found out that it was time to give Lan Xingyi a dismount, and he smiled and said: "Our country has always been free and democratic, and the same is true in the development of countries and regions!" Not as highly centralized as your country, where no rights are allowed at the local level except for the central! In your country, the best universities are in the capital, right? ”

"This..."Lan Xingyi was suddenly hit the point, she hesitated for a moment, wanted to deny it and couldn't think of anything to deny it for a while, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she quickly said: "No, the best university in our country is in Hong Kong!" ”

"Ah, the University of Hong Kong, I know!" Kevin replied as if he didn't care. Lan Xingyi suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, Hong Kong was once a British colony, and she wanted to fight for some national dignity just now, and she didn't want to humiliate herself. I couldn't help blushing, a little embarrassed, and I didn't mean to be arrogant just now. In the past few years, the humanistic ideas she has learned on the earth have also sprung up in her heart, the sense of national superiority formed in 5,000 years has been dispersed in a hurry, and the subjects that she is best at debating are a big step behind others as soon as she goes abroad, and the university that represents the level of education alone has lost completely, and her strength will never stop at the lip. This former empire on which the sun never sets is not as bad as it is advertised in its own country, but it is a model for the world with every gesture and foot! Lan Xingyi also stopped talking, consciously took off her sunglasses, and silently followed Kevin. After leaving the airport, Kevin found a nearby hotel to open a room, and then handed the room card to Lan Xingyi. Lan Xingyi was a little puzzled, she didn't answer, but asked nervously, "What should you do if you open a room?" ”

"I'll go home!" Kevin replied lightly.

"Home?"

"Hmm," Kevin nodded earnestly. "I forgot to tell you, I'm from London, and I'm just studying at Cambridge!"

"Oh, that's right!" Lan Xingyi took the room card with confidence, and Kevin helped her move her things up and said, "I'll come to you tomorrow morning, rest well!" "After that, let's go!

Lan Xingyi lay on the bed after dinner and had a lot of thoughts, what she didn't expect was that the first person she met when she came to the UK gave her a good lesson, and she benefited a lot! What kind of country is this, he is a Londoner, equivalent to the capital of his country, with countless discounts and care, how many people dream of it! Why doesn't he cherish it? You must know that London is an imperial city with a sea of people, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, going to study in the remote city of Cambridge is tantamount to a prince being exiled, which is unthinkable in the country! In the country, the highly centralized feudal rule concentrated all resources in one city, bringing more concentrated smog and traffic congestion, and it was just a matter of enjoying yourself, and sometimes the city gate caught fire and affected the pond fish, and even the nearby places could not live in peace! I remember that when I watched a TV program before, an international student who had just returned from London and was ignorant of the world told the host that the traffic conditions in London were relatively good, which was worth learning from the domestic transportation department. Before the words were finished, he was severely reprimanded by the host, who asked the international students very harshly, 'How many half-people are there in London?' ''How many people are there in China?'' 'Say that the root of everything is the large population, and such illogical words are said! Is crowding an excuse? Isn't it something they used to propagate when there is great strength in numbers? Now that I know it's a burden, the more people there are, the more wisdom there is, why did the host suppress the wisdom of the returning international student? There are more than 90 Nobel laureates in the tiny Cambridge, and the more knowledgeable and reactionary Chinese universities are, they actually speak with zero! The more Lan Xingyi thought about it, the more irritable she became, the more tired she became, and finally she doubted whether the place she had chosen was correct, and finally fell asleep in a daze in the middle of the night.

Before dawn the next day, Lan Xingyi woke up, turned over a few times and never fell asleep again, and finally survived until dawn, dressed up and hurriedly went down to eat breakfast. Kevin came over just after eating, there was a positive touch in the elevator, Kevin greeted with a smile, Lan Xingyi seemed to be a little in good spirits, Kevin smiled: "Miss Lan, didn't you sleep well?" ”

"Ah, it's okay!" Lan Xingyi said lightly.

"If I offended Your Excellency by speaking yesterday, I hope there will be a lot of Haihan!" Kevin also felt that his words yesterday were a bit heavy, and he was afraid of affecting Lan Xingyi's mood today, so he quickly apologized.

"No, you're right!" Lan Xingyi said very seriously.

"We are limited to academic exchanges, and I have no intention of hurting you!" Kevin explained.

"I know what you mean, though, but how do you know that our country is highly centralized and university-level?" In order to ease the atmosphere, Lan Xingyi had to ask some professional questions casually.

"Haha, I'm from the Faculty of Humanities at Cambridge University, and my main direction is the history of oriental civilization, I've studied all these things, otherwise I wouldn't have been arranged to come and receive you!" Kevin laughed.

"We?" Lan Xingyi was a little surprised.

"Ah, I mean you and your teacher!" Kevin hurriedly explained. "I listened to him a lot of things, I learned a lot from him, I used to only stay in theoretical research, but after coming into contact with your teacher, I felt that I might have touched the core of Eastern civilization! That's why I'm very happy to host you humanities scholars from the East, and if you have any difficulties, just tell me, I'll be happy to help! ”

"Free?"

"It's free!" The two laughed and came to the room where Lan Xingyi lived. Lan Xingyi had already packed up everything before eating, so the two of them moved onto the elevator again without much effort and came to the front desk, and soon Kevin completed the formalities and pulled Lan Xingyi's things out of the hotel.

"Take the subway, right?" Kevin asked in a consultative tone.

"You decide!"

"Okay, come with me!" Kevin led Lan Xingyi into the subway station, Lan Xingyi was curious about everything, and looked left and right all the way. After entering the station, Kevin went to buy a ticket, but in fact, no one checked the ticket, and soon the two of them got on the subway. There were quite a lot of people in the subway, and the two of them had to stand.

"Your teacher, how are you now?" Kevin politely said.

"Well, it's okay!" Lan Xingyi also said politely that although it was not as embarrassing as last night, there were still some knots between her and Kevin after all.

"Your teacher is a respected scholar with a deep insight into human nature, and he is not easy to make irrational judgments with a hot head, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time!" Kevin sighed with some regret.

"Oh? Do you know so much? ”

"Hmm," Kevin smiled. "The translator who came with him told me that your teacher used to study Russian, and you had to bring a translator to the cultural exchange meeting, so it used to be two people! Later, when I heard that you had cut your research expenses, I thought I wouldn't be able to come, but this time I was fortunate to have you who understand humanities and speak English fluently! ”

"Hehe" Lan Xingyi smiled knowingly. "I've also heard others talk about my teacher, saying that there is a conflict between the viewpoint and the relevant departments, so he is academically excluded, do you know why?"

"Me?" Kevin was startled at first, then thought about it for a while and said, "I still don't want to tell you, there is a suspicion of sowing discord!" ”

"Oh" Lan Xingyi nodded quickly, and with her ingenuity, she could roughly guess what it was. At this time, the subway stopped when it arrived, and everyone walked out of the door. Kevin was startled at first, and then smashed his head with his fist in great annoyance, and then said helplessly to Lan Xingyi: "Alas, I miscalculated again, get out of the car!" ”

"We're not there yet!" Lan Xingyi said puzzled.

"The subway workers are on strike, and we can only sit here!"

"Huh? Striked? Lan Xingyi said in surprise, because she had never seen this kind of situation on her landing, and she couldn't help but rejoice.

"Yes, subway workers are demanding reasonable labor remuneration from the government, what? Haven't you seen it? ”

"Nope!" Lan Xingyi shook her head suspiciously, and reluctantly followed Kevin to the outside of the subway station wrapped in the crowd. The people who got off the subway also had different expressions, but they were not as angry as they imagined. Lan Xingyi was a little incomprehensible, she turned her head and asked Kevin, "Aren't these people in a hurry to get to work?" ”

"Natural and man-made disasters, no one can do anything!" Kevin said lightly.

"Huh? That's it? ”

"What else? Subway workers can fight for their reasonable labor treatment, and the leaders of other companies will understand, and they are not sabotage! ”

"How do you know they're fighting for fair labor treatment?" Lan Xingyi asked rhetorically.

"This time they are protesting against the government's pension reform plan, these workers work hard all day and night, only have enough to make ends meet, if they want to extend their working years and deduct what little pension income they have, it will be the most unfair thing, no wonder they say they have had enough!"

"That's right!" Lan Xingyi felt that Kevin had explained clearly in this regard, so she had to change the subject. "What do you mean when you said you miscalculated?"

"Ah, I know they are striking today, or they habitually choose to travel on the subway, what a miscalculation!"

"You know they're on strike today?" Lan Xingyi was even more surprised. "Isn't this a secret?"

"What's so secret about this?" Kevin asked rhetorically, a little incomprehensible.

"If the time of the strike is revealed in advance, then the strike can still be stopped?"

"What's not to do? Revealing the date of the strike in advance shows that these workers are responsible! ”

"Huh? Charge? Wouldn't those who plotted the strike be secretly executed? ”

"Grass and human life? The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights hangs there! The more Kevin explained, the more confused he became, feeling that Lan Xingyi was simply unreasonable. As they were talking, the two had already left the subway entrance, and the outside of the subway station was already crowded, and some striking people waved various colored flags to demonstrate on the street. The crowd of marchers was peaceful and orderly, there was no anger on their faces, and some even showed joy on their faces, which shows the maturity of a people! Not far away are the police and the chengguan team, the people who marched saw that the police and the chengguan team did not turn around and run, did not run up to chase and fight, and the people who maintained order did not worry about the escalation of violence, which is a strange thing!

"Kevin, you guys are on strike like this all day long, aren't you afraid of affecting the efficiency of society?" Lan Xingyi couldn't help but ask again.

"If you sacrifice fairness in the minds of the people for the sake of so-called efficiency, it is the least worthwhile thing! We are a developed country, and what developed countries need to do is to distribute the wealth of society fairly! As long as people's wishes are satisfied, their efficiency will increase exponentially, as long as the enthusiasm of the people is not dampened, we will always be a developed country, and our innovation vitality will always be the most reliable guarantee of efficiency! On the contrary, if the workers, teachers, engineers and scientists are allowed to do their jobs, they will be like the walking dead, and their efficiency will be reduced exponentially! Especially when it comes to inventions, there is a world of difference between the efficiency of a positive and a negative work attitude! ”

"But if you keep striking like this, you won't be able to finish your job!" Lan Xingyi innocently reminded.

"So what? We have a perfect welfare system and pension system, what are we afraid of, our housing prices will not be speculated! Kevin was asked a little helplessly.

"These people don't go to work, but march in the streets, and the police don't care?"

"What do the police have to do, they haven't broken the law, this is a way for the people to make reasonable demands, there is no need to be so violent! If it were in China, a strike would definitely smash all the Japanese cars to pieces, right? Kevin laughed at Lan Xingyi.

"Haha" Lan Xingyi had no choice but to laugh. "You're saying they just strike?"

"Yes, we who study humanities know that everyone will encounter some unsatisfactory things in their work, and everyone has some grievances that have nowhere to spread, so they can alleviate this grievance by going on strike and marching, and the state organs must know the truth that the mouth of the people is better than the defense of Sichuan!"

"The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, you know this?" Lan Xingyi asked in surprise.

"I told you, I'm a graduate student in the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Cambridge, if I don't understand anything, how can the University of Cambridge admit me?" Kevin explained with some disdain.

"Can you spell Daddy?" Lan Xingyi said with a smile.

"Daddy? What does it mean to spell daddy? ”

"Even if you don't know anything, if your father is the president of Cambridge University, or a high-ranking official in the city of Cambridge, you can go in without the consent of Cambridge University!" Lan Xingyi explained with great difficulty.

"That will affect my credit!" Kevin said in surprise.

"Does it affect the amount of credit cards?"

"Haha, yes!" Kevin reacted for a moment and then smiled. "If I'm dating a beautiful woman and I don't have enough credit when I pay for it, that's a terrible thing!"

"What do we do next? The car is gone! ”

"It's not far from the train station, let's walk there!" Kevin suggested, Lan Xingyi nodded, and the two of them walked through the sparse crowd of marchers towards the train station. These marchers maintained a very civilized posture from beginning to end, and did not loot everywhere they went, and it is not known whether it was because their families were rich and did not need to rob, or because they did not have a hobby of looting at all.

When they arrived at the train station, Kevin quickly bought train tickets and the two entered the station. The train sped through the idyllic English countryside towards the city of Cambridge.
