After being woken up by his mother, Zhang Muzi stayed quietly in the cabin and stopped complaining, and about half an hour later, the plane landed slowly, taxied smoothly for a while, and stopped on the runway of Seoul Airport.

As the capital of the Republic of China, Seoul is far larger than the Haidu 'Yuanbei', with an area of three or four times larger and a population more than five times larger.

Speaking of which, this is Zhang Muzi's second visit to 'Seoul', but the first time he came, it was just a transit, and he didn't really appreciate the bustling and noisy city.

The traffic jam on the road, which is about two or three times wider than that of Yuanbei City, and the sky obscured by all kinds of huge billboards, he couldn't help but let out a subtle "Ahhh

Hearing his son's admiration, he looked at Zhang Muzi, who had stayed comfortably in Shenluo for a month, and after his grandfather's death, he turned his grief into appetite, and his body had regained his fortune, Li Xiangzhi pointed to the fashionably dressed young men and women outside the car window and said with a smile: "How about son, young people should still wear decent clothes, and live in such a lively metropolis to be happier."

It's a pity that your mouth is too greedy and you can't keep in shape, but it doesn't matter, when you go to college and everyone starts to socialize and have boyfriends and girlfriends, you will naturally know to eat less and exercise more. ”

Seeing the long-lost smile on his mother's face, Zhang Muzi deliberately pursed his lips and said with disdain: "Mom, I don't need that to get a girlfriend, it's okay, I don't pay it now just to be able to study wholeheartedly and be admitted to a good university in the joint entrance examination."

By the way, Mom, have you helped me contact the school, or are you going to 'remediate' classes?"

In the 'Yuantai' and 'Korean Korea', where the Chinese dominate, tutoring has long become a huge industry, especially on the Korean Peninsula, up to the judicial and civil service examinations that can determine the future and fate of a person's life;

Even the intelligence tests that can be used to enter high-quality kindergartens can find corresponding 'tutoring centers', which means that the huge social groups from the age of three to 33 are all potential customers for the 'tutoring industry', so much so that there are even special districts in Seoul that run this business in the form of an industrial chain.

Where, in addition to the various tutoring centers, from the smallest room, which is only two square meters, can barely fit into a single bed, and is dedicated to the accommodation of tutors, to the candidates' cafeteria, which only cooks extremely cheap chicken skin, pig skin, and pasta;

From a cram school hair salon that only trims the simplest flat hair and straight hairstyles, to an exam bookstore that specializes in selling all kinds of test questions, as long as it is needed by cram students, there is everything you need.

In addition to the expensive tuition costs, you can live in Seoul, a city with an impressive price index, for a small amount of money, and of course, just survive.

As the owner of a large-scale 'tutoring center' in Yuantai, Li Xiangzhi is naturally very familiar with the 'business model' of her peers in Seoul, and she doesn't want her son to live in an environment where there is invisible pressure everywhere like raising betta fish in a fish tank, and the food and accommodation conditions are very poor.

But all kinds of accidents followed, so that Zhang Muzi was distracted for two months in the most critical period of the joint entrance examination, and he didn't read a single page of the book.

I was going to find you a better private high school transfer, but I really can't keep up with the class, and then I sign up for a single subject cram school to improve my grades, but now it's March, and it's too late to dredge up the relationship and find a good school transfer, so I can only go directly to the 'all-subject' cram school.

But don't worry too much, I have found a friend who runs a 'tutoring center' in Seoul to take care of you, and you can temporarily live in her house before the joint entrance examination, with food and accommodation..."

"Don't be a mom, it's very inconvenient to live in someone else's house, I'm nineteen years old, I can take care of myself, it's okay to work hard, anyway, I'm ready to endure hardships on the plane." Zhang Muzi didn't know the 'horror' of studying in the Seoul tutoring center, and said in a relaxed tone.

Hearing his son say this, Zhang Hanmin, who sat in the co-pilot's seat and had not spoken since getting into the taxi, said in a tone that knew Zhang Muzi's temperament very well: "You say so now, but after trying, you will definitely not be able to endure that bitterness."

If you transfer to a high school in Seoul, if you live in the school, there will be a special teacher to manage you in class and after school, so we can rest assured, but the 'supplementary education center' in South Korea and North Korea has too many students, as long as you don't make trouble in the classroom, you don't care about other aspects of the students..."

Hearing this, Zhang Muzi showed an expression of sudden realization and interrupted his father's words, "So you want to find a friend to take care of me, right?"

"That's right," Zhang Hanmin has always played the role of a strict father in front of his son, and his speech has always been blunt and direct, "You have poor self-control since you were a child, you don't study hard, you are distracted, your grades go up and down, if you don't find someone to take care of you, as soon as we leave, I'm afraid you will soon run to the 'model shop' to take classes." ”

Hearing his father say this, Zhang Muzi thought about it, his eyes lit up and said, "Since you are so worried about me, it is better for you and your mother to move to Seoul."

Anyway, I can't make much money by opening a 'tutoring center', so I just close the door. ”

"I can't make much money!" Zhang Hanmin was born in an old-style intellectual family, although he grew up in an era of great changes, but he still has the unique nobility of the old-style Chinese scholars in his bones, and he was furious by his son's words, "Zhang Muzi, can all the qiē in life be measured by money, um."

When I was in junior high school, my family renovated the first building, and on my days off to help with blisters, I just didn't mention these, just said that your mother and I raised you to such a big age, didn't we all rely on the money earned from cram school?

Now that you have inherited your grandfather's inheritance, and with money, you look down on the efforts of your grandfather, father, and mother, right..."

"Dad, I didn't mean that," Seeing that his father was really angry, Zhang Muzi hurriedly explained: "I said that just now because I really didn't want to live in someone else's house." ”

Seeing that her husband was angry with his son because of an unintentional remark, Li Xiangzhi patted him on the shoulder angrily and funny as a comforter, and changed the topic and said, "Okay, Hermes-Epitek, my son said that it wasn't intentional, don't be angry."

By the way, it's already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and I'm afraid it's evening when I settle down in the hotel, I don't think I'll contact Jona today, and I'll go directly to the cram school tomorrow morning to find her, what do you think?"

"That's it. Zhang Hanmin calmed down his anger and replied to his wife, and after calming down a little, he realized that it was rude to get angry in a taxi, so he smiled apologetically at the driver who looked about the same age as himself, and said in a low voice: "Mr. driver, I just taught my children to yell, I'm sorry." ”

If you are in Yuanbei City, when you hear a customer apologize like this, most taxi drivers will answer heartily, "Well, parents, ah, not all of them." But the driver in Seoul showed an embarrassed expression and continued to drive as if he hadn't heard anything, and the social and cultural differences between Wondae Island and the Korean Peninsula showed signs in this small difference in attitude.

It turned out that although the old government of China was defeated and retreated, and the people who were coerced to the two places of 'Yuantai' and 'Han and North Korea' were all mixed from the inland provinces, and they were generally the same, but 'orange born in Huainan is orange, and born in Huaibei is orange'.

The aborigines of Entai Island are composed of dozens of primitive indigenous tribes, and even suffered resistance from 'cannibals' when 'Himaru' invaded the island.

After the island's recovery, these aborigines, whose parents were still drinking blood in Rumao, were quickly assimilated by the Chinese, and had little impact on the evolution of society.

Although this peninsula has been a Chinese state for thousands of years and has been deeply influenced by Chinese civilization, after all, it has been politically and militarily independent for thousands of years, and has its own language and writing, and has the so-called 'three thousand miles of splendid rivers and mountains', and has its own independent cultural heritage.

In addition, the last dynasty of China, the 'Qing Manchu', was a barbarian who entered the Central Plains, and issued an extremely barbaric and cruel so-called 'hair without head' shaving order, forcing many erudite Confucians who were neither willing to change the 'Chinese clothes' nor want to sit idly by to flee with their families, and the first choice for a group of them was the Korean Peninsula with the reputation of 'Little China'.

Among this group of Confucian scholars, the one with the highest status and the greatest fame is the only master of Confucianism after the "Spring and Autumn Kingdoms", and Zhu Guipu, the descendant of Zhu Xi, who is respected by the world as "Zhu Zi".

After he and a group of fellow believers fled to the 'Han Dynasty' in a desperate and dangerous way, he deeply hated the persecution of the Qing and Manchu courts, despised those Confucian scholars who shaved their hair and served the barbarians, and openly ridiculed them for 'having no face to see their ancestors and ancestors after death', emphasizing the difference from Confucianism in the Central Plains everywhere when studying learning, and even based on the 'study of righteousness and reason' left by Zhu Xi, a separate 'Han Confucianism' system was established.

Its exposition of "the principle of all things is ultimately one, is for the 'Tai Chi' also", "Tai Chi is just a rational word" of the article, in the Korean Peninsula far-reaching influence, so that now the local flags of many cities in the "Han Dynasty" are also selected to be slightly different Tai Chi patterns, when the "Republic of China Games" is held, almost one-third of the entire square is full of "Tai Chi flag" fluttering.

It is precisely in this context that the deep-rooted local culture of the Korean Peninsula has had a profound impact on the Chinese immigrants in the fifties of the last century, and the social and cultural aspects have become very different from those of Wontai Island after decades of evolution.
