03 Aurora Light Chen Muwu
When he was in Fengtian, Chen Muwu revealed to Zhang Shaoshuai that he would move schools in Stockholm, and he also got the wool of this son-in-law.
Because of the limited level of education, Chen Muwu plans to recruit some of the previous students from high school and university graduates in the Swedish school.
Zhang Gongzi is now at this age, it is the heart of a teenager who is unwilling to admit defeat, and when he is interested in going to Northeastern University one day, thinking of this incident, he will definitely tell the students in the school to prepare well, get a good score in the selection examination, and add glory to Northeastern University by the way.
Since he had already told Shaoshuai Zhang about this matter in advance, Chen Muwu felt that he had to tell his alma mater even more, although he himself had not studied here for a day, but after all, there was still a bond between the two.
Just like Oppenheimer said, Chen Muwu planned to get off the bus halfway and go to the school to revisit his hometown, which can be regarded as a return to his hometown.
By the way, you can also publicize the fact that you are running a school in Europe, and urge and encourage the students to win the first place in the exam when the time comes.
But the problem is that two people carry too much luggage.
There is no light load on a long journey, Chen Muwu has long considered this, so before he left the UK, he had already considered this problem and streamlined the luggage he carried with him as much as possible.
But I couldn't stand the friends and physics colleagues I met at the stops along the way, and my attitude towards me was very enthusiastic.
So starting from Paris, Chen Muwu has been receiving gifts all the way, and his luggage has become more and more.
When he arrived in Mukden, Zhang Shaoshuai, who hated to see him late, was even more generous and sent a lot of Northeast specialties such as ginseng and deer antlers.
Chen Muwu's luggage had almost doubled, but fortunately, he was accompanied by an Oppenheimer.
Every time luggage is moved up and down from the train, there is an increased risk of loss or damage.
Therefore, Chen Muwu could only give up the plan to get off the train from Yanshan and return to his alma mater to visit, but instead wrote a letter to his teacher informing him of the selection of international students, and put it into the mailbox of the port on the platform.
The Gyeongbong Railway is the Gyeongbong Railway, and the Jinpu Railway is the Jinpu Railway, although they are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Communications of the People's Republic of China, but they belong to different railway bureaus.
What's more, the Jingbong Railway has been completely controlled by the Bong Department, and every year they pocket most of the oil and water on the railway, and do not allocate funds to the Ministry of Communications at all, which is basically an independent operation.
The Ministry of Communications has no choice but to treat the symptoms and counteract by prohibiting Beijing, Fengjin, and Pupu from running intermodal trains.
Therefore, Fengtian could not buy train tickets on Jinpu Road, and could only buy them at Shaojing or Tianyi Station.
Fortunately, Tianyu is also within the sphere of influence of the Feng department, and it is one of Zhang Dashuai's nests in the Guannei.
Zhang Shaoshuai also bought a ticket for Chen Muwu on Jinpu Road, but he still needed him to transfer at Tianyi Station, pick up the ticket sent to him by others here, and change to a new southbound train by the way.
Since Zhang Shaoshuai had already arranged the itinerary for him, Chen Muwu didn't ask what day the ticket was bought.
He took it for granted that in order to continue the journey, the arrival and departure times of the two trains should be as close as possible.
But as soon as he got off the train, Chen Muwu saw someone on the platform holding a sign to pick up the station.
The big block Chinese characters written with a brush on the sign are not "Mr. Chen", what else can it be?
It's just that the person holding the sign was a bit beyond Chen Muwu's expectations, he originally thought that this person, as a young talent under Zhang Shaoshuai, should be wearing a straight Fengjun uniform.
But unexpectedly, the person who came to pick up the station was a middle-aged man wearing a suit and tie, and a pair of-framed glasses on his nose, dressed in a polite manner.
Chen Muwu secretly praised in his heart, Zhang Shaoshuai has a heart.
He was probably afraid that sending a soldier in military uniform would frighten him, and that writing his full name would cause unexpected and unnecessary trouble on the platform, so he let this person wear civilian clothes.
Because Tianyu is not the terminus of this train, there is very limited time left for two people to get off the train.
In a panic, he moved the luggage out of the carriage, leaving Oppenheimer there to count and look at the luggage, and Chen Muwu walked quickly towards the young man holding the sign.
The middle-aged man was still looking around, and it wasn't until Chen Muwu walked in front of him and pointed to the name on the sign that he came back to his senses.
After confirming each other's identities, and after some careful exchanges and inquiries, Chen Muwu roughly understood the ins and outs of this matter in his heart.
Dare to be affectionate, it is not what he imagined at all.
The person who picked up the station was not a soldier under Zhang Shaoshuai at all, but another faction.
The middle-aged man claimed to be a staff member of Nankai University and showed the corresponding documents.
He said that he was entrusted by President Zhang to invite Dr. Chen to visit Nankai University.
As for Chen Muwu's train ticket from Tianyu to the south, there is no need to worry, Zhang Shaoshuai has already sent someone to book a train to Pukou in two days, and Dr. Chen only needs to board the train on time at that time.
As the only railway artery connecting the north and the south in China, tickets on the Jinpu Railway have always been very tight.
Even if he leaves the station now and buys a ticket at the ticket office of Tianyi East Station, Chen Muwu will not be able to buy a train that can go south that day, and maybe it will be in line for half a month.
Although he was eager to return home, in this situation, Chen Muwu could only accept the "kindness" of the middle-aged man and followed him to Nankai University.
The rickshaw pulled by Xiangzi in "Camel Xiangzi" has different names in different places.
In Shaojing, rickshaw is called "foreign car", which is the abbreviation of Toyo car, and Toyo refers to the place where this rickshaw was introduced.
In the sea, because the carriages are painted yellow, they are called "rickshaws".
But in Tianyi, people here prefer to call rickshaws "rubber (car)".
Out of Tianyi East Station, the three of them hired four rubber cars, and the extra one was specially used to pull luggage.
Oppenheimer, the son of a wealthy merchant in New York, came into contact with new gadgets after coming to China.
He was riding a rickshaw for the first time and was curious about the car up and down.
But Oppenheimer was also afraid that his luggage would fall out of such a high carriage, so he stared at it tightly, and did not dare to relax for a moment.
Sitting on the rubber car of Nankai University running to Balitai, Chen Muwu's brain, which was scattered by the bumps of the train, finally reunited together.
He was not in the mood to pay attention to Oppenheimer, who was looking left and right, but began to review the sudden incident today.
Chen Muwu felt that most of the people who "pitted" themselves behind this were still the young marshal Zhang in Fengtian.
For Zhang Gongzi, who is open-eyed, since he can buy a ticket for Jinpu Road two days later a day ago, it should not be a problem to buy it today.
But why did he have to stay in Tianyi for two days, and suddenly went to Nankai University as a guest for some reason?
This has to mention the relationship between Zhang Gongzi and Zhang Boling, who are also teachers and friends.
Although Zhang Gongzi was not a student of the Nankai Department, since he listened to a speech by Mr. Zhang Boling in Mukden when he was a child, he began to teach this old gentleman.
Later, Feng entered the customs and controlled the situation in North China, Zhang Dashuai set his office location in the customs to Tianyi, and Zhang Shaoshuai, who followed his father to travel frequently between the two places, also had more opportunities to meet Zhang Boling.
After that, Northeastern University was founded in Fengtian, and the faculty was very weak, and because of this relationship between the two, many teachers were borrowed from Nankai University.
A large number of people in China already know that Chen Muwu is going to return from the UK this summer, and many people hope to invite Dr. Chen to give lectures there.
Chen Muwu had long expected this situation, so he deliberately wanted to make his itinerary more low-key and hidden.
But after all, there are many teachers from the Nankai Department in Northeastern University, and Zhang Dashuai's welcome to the Swedish crown prince in Mukden has caused a lot of uproar, and someone has already passed this matter on to his old club.
Zhang Boling, who learned that Chen Muwu was going to return to China with the Swedish crown prince, directly slapped the telegram on Zhang Shaoshuai's table, asking him to reveal Dr. Chen's whereabouts to him, and greet him in Tianyu when the time comes.
So there was such a play of Tianyu Station, Mr. Lao Zhang and Mr. Xiao Zhang teamed up to make a game for Chen Muwu, so that he had to go to Nankai University to take a trip.
Zhang Boling, president of Nankai University, not only attaches great importance to education and has opened a school of Nankai Department in Tianyi, but also attaches great importance to sports.
In 1910, in the first National Games, he was the president of the first sports league of the national school teams.
Later, this alliance gradually developed and changed its name to the "All-China Sports Association", and Zhang Boling naturally became the honorary president of the association.
This association was formally established on August 24, 1924 in Qihai, and at the beginning of its establishment, the association made a big joke.
At that time, the Paris International Games had just ended, and before the start of the Games, newspapers from all walks of life in Beijing and Shanghai were promoting and reporting that three tennis players represented China to participate in this grand event.
But it was not these three national tennis players who shined at the Games, but a little-known Chen Han Chen.
I don't know who this person is, but I also know who this reporter from various newspapers in Shanghai is, so I thought of going to the newly established Association for the Advancement of Advancement to inquire about the situation.
After all, this association also bears the various responsibilities of the Chinese Olympic Committee.
As a result, the Association didn't know who this person was, and the most authoritative sports organization in the country made a big joke at the beginning of its establishment.
After a while, everyone knew that Chen Han Chen was Chen Muwu.
Therefore, since then, Zhang Boling has been very interested in this young man who can be both civil and military.
He even went to the gate of Nankai University to wait in person, and as soon as they met, he was very enthusiastic about Chen Muwu.
In order to express his welcome to this distinguished guest who returned from studying in the West, Zhang Boling also paid out of his own pocket and specially sent someone to the Cheslin Western Restaurant on William Street at the junction of the German and American concessions to bring a table of Western dishes.
Looking at the food on the table, Chen Muwu couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, but he also expressed his gratitude to Zhang Boling on his face.
I didn't stay much in Tianyi, so I didn't observe any table etiquette, and everyone discussed the schedule of the two days at Nankai University while eating.
Zhang Boling meant to ask Chen Muwu to give a lecture at Nankai University for a day, and then visit and guide the physics department that had just been established for a few years.
Then the next day, I will go back to see how the sports activities of Nankai University are going, and it is best to exchange ideas with the athletes about participating in the World Games.
Although China has been participating in the Far Eastern Games since 1913, China has not attached as much importance to the Olympics as its neighbors, who also participated in the Far Eastern Games.
In the original history, if it weren't for the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics, I wanted the newly established puppet Manchukuo to participate in the Olympics as an "independent country", in an attempt to make this country recognized by the whole world in this way, and China would not have sent Liu Changchun to the ocean alone.
As an aside, it was also Zhang Boling and Zhang Gongzi, the two Zhang family members, who helped Liu Changchun to participate in the competition on behalf of the People's Republic of China and provided him with travel expenses to the United States.
But now it's different.
Because Chen Muwu was like a lonely hero, he participated in the Olympic Games held in Paris alone and won three gold medals in one fell swoop.
After the news spread back to China, a movement fever was set off across the country.
Every athlete has a wish in their hearts, that is, can they win a few gold medals in the World Games like Chen Muwu and win glory for the country.
Young people in universities are of the right age to participate in sports.
As a pioneer of sports in China, Nankai University under his rule was also one of the first universities to train students to participate in sports.
Although Chen Muwu had some small opinions in his heart about being invited to Nankai University without explanation, he agreed with President Zhang's reasonable arrangement.
As a physicist, it is only natural for me to give a lecture to university teachers and students.
Next year will be 27 years, the year after will be 28 years, and in the blink of an eye, it will be the year of the competition.
Chen Muwu also wanted to see if there were any good seedlings here, and whether they could be brought to Europe to train there for the next Olympic Games in 1928.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and Nankai also intends to carry out propaganda.
So Chen Muwu, who returned to China with honor, arrived in Tianyu and visited Nankai University, and the news was published in Tianyi's major Chinese and Western newspapers the next day.
This includes Yishi Bao, the largest Chinese newspaper in Tianyu, that is, the one on which Chen Muwu serialized "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" a few years ago.
Although there are still people who use the pen name Yao Fulan to serialize the sequel to "Condor Heroes" in the newspaper supplement "Puzzle Zong".
But everyone knows each other that this Yao Fulan is not Yao Fulan.
However, the sale is not benevolent, and the general manager of the "Yishi Daily" newspaper still understands the world very well.
After learning the news that Chen Muwu was in Tianyu at this time, he sent someone to Hengli, one of the three major silver buildings in Tianyu, overnight, and spent a lot of money to ask the master in the silver building to order a silver shield-shaped medal with a length of more than one foot, which was inlaid on a square piece of sour branch wood.
The medal is also engraved with the four big characters of "Aurora Light", and there are other small characters below to annotate the two major achievements of Chen Muwu in academic and sports, "the winner of the 24th Robert Prize in Physics", "the best swimmer in the 8th World Games", and "the gift of the Tianyi World Newspaper Museum".
It took a day and a night, and all the masters of Hengli Gold Store worked overtime, and finally made this medal the next night.
After hearing that Chen Muwu would still carry out activities at Nankai University the next day, the general manager of the Yishi Bao Pavilion planned to come to the scene in person and present the medal to Dr. Chen.
