Chapter 17 Return to China to make a report, leave without pay!
After visiting Myitkyina, Hanlong took a flight back to Bangkok.
Upon his return to Bangkok, Han Long went to say goodbye to Professor Barbiro.
Barbiro looked at Han Long with regret and said, "Han Long! You finish your research with us! We can give you everything you need to do your research! ”
"Barbiro Senpai! Thank you very much for your reservation! Actually, I'm not willing to leave you! But my home is in Yongcheng, and it's the middle of January 2011, and I've been away from home to Bangkok for more than half a year, and I need to go home to take care of my loved ones! In the future, I will definitely come to visit you in Bangkok often! You have helped me a lot during this time and have benefited me immensely! I really don't know how to thank you! Han Long looked at Barbiro with reverence and reverence.
"Han Long! From now on, you and I will have a master-apprentice relationship! You're not kind to me! You can come to me for anything! If I can do it, I will do it! Come home and say hello to your family on my behalf! Barbiro held Han Long's hand, and he looked at Han Long with kind eyes.
After leaving Barbiro, Han Long went to the hotel where he lived to settle the bill, and he took a taxi to Bangkok International Airport with his luggage and belongings.
At around 1 p.m., Han Long took a flight back to Yongcheng at Bangkok International Airport.
After returning to Yongcheng International Airport, Han Long took a taxi back home.
When she returned home, Ruoxin, Zhencheng, Zunxian, and Yi Fang greeted Hanlong outside the house, and Aunt Ma prepared dinner in the kitchen.
Since they hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, three children, including Zhencheng, Zunxian, and Yifang, pestered Hanlong in the living room and told interesting stories overseas.
Holding Yi Fang, he smiled and said, "Alas! This time, I went overseas to do academic research, mainly in universities and research institutes with some old men with glasses! So I didn't really see anything interesting! I'll take you there later, and then you'll find the interesting stuff for yourselves! Good no good? ”
The children applauded happily, and Zhencheng put his arm around Zunxian's shoulders and said with a smile, "Uncle! Now I'm in the second grade of elementary school! I'm eight years old! My brother and sister are over two years old! In the future, my younger siblings will go to kindergarten! You can take us on an overseas trip next year! Mom said she would like to see it overseas too! ”
Ruoxin smiled and said, "Oops! You children are like monkeys, give you a pole and you will climb up! Your dad has just come back, and you let him rest! Zhencheng! You take your younger siblings to play hide and seek in the yard! Let's talk! ”
Zhencheng happily picked up Yi Fang, and he took Zunxian's hand and went to the yard to play.
After the children left, Ruoxin took Han Long's hand, she looked at Han Long affectionately and said, "Alas! You've been gone for more than half a year! You should have gained a lot this time, right? ”
Han Long smiled and said, "Yes! I really got a lot out of it this time! At least I know more about Southeast Asian culture and customs than ever before! In the future, I can study the treasures left by my grandfather at home with peace of mind! Ruoxin! What's changed in the school lately? ”
Ruoxin thought for a moment and said, "Our history department has not changed much, after I was promoted to professor, my teaching tasks have increased a bit, but I don't have research tasks, so I am quite relaxed." It seems that your physics department has changed a lot, and I heard that your department of life physics has been changed to the Institute of Life Sciences, and your new position seems to be a professor-level researcher. In the future, your institute will only recruit graduate students and doctors, and all the undergraduate majors that your department was responsible for have been abolished! ”
Han Long smiled and said, "Okay! I'll really become an idler in the future! I can concentrate on my grandfather's research! I wanted to strike while the iron was hot and sort out my grandfather's manuscripts before I thought about how to make them public! ”
Ruoxin frowned and said, "Han Long! Your institute has just been established, so you may have to worry a lot about your work! A few days ago, I met Principal Qin, and he asked me, when will you come back? He might want to talk to you about work! Tomorrow, you take the initiative to talk to Principal Qin! ”
......
On the morning of the second day after returning to China, Han Long went to the office of the president of Yongcheng National University to talk with President Qin.
Principal Qin and Han Long were sitting on the sofa in the office drinking tea, and Principal Qin looked at Han Long straight to the point and said, "Han Long! When your grandfather, Professor Keller, was alive, he once told me about his experience and achievements in the study of prehistoric civilizations. You should know that historical issues are not ordinary issues, but major issues involving one nation and one country! For one or two hundred years, our Huahan Kingdom has been invaded and enslaved by Western powers, and we have ceded land and paid them compensation, opened the country unconditionally, and let them exploit our people wantonly! At this stage, our national consciousness and self-confidence are completely destroyed by the enemy, we abandon our history, culture and customs, and we carry out total Westernization! The mainstream Chinese elites believe that the Chinese and the Westerners have the same roots, the Chinese ethnic group comes from the West, the Chinese are the descendants of the ancient Babylonians, and the Chinese culture is a derivative of Western culture, so they want to abolish those things in the Chinese society that do not conform to Western culture, and they even want to abolish Chinese characters! ”
Han Long slapped the table angrily and said, "These bastards are a bunch of foreign slaves without bones and foresight, they only talk nonsense!" ”
Principal Qin glared at Han Long, and he continued to say calmly, "Han Long! You have to be calm about these issues! These intellectual elites who 'turn to the West and deny the East' are not ordinary people! They are the mainstream class of the current society! They control this society! And the result of your grandfather Kim Keller's research is to deny them, to deny the concept that 'the West is the ancestor, and the East is the great-grandson', and to prove the historical outlook and values of 'East before West, East superior and West inferior'! Didn't your grandfather do this against today's mainstream class? So when your grandfather told me these truths, I once advised your grandfather not to publish his research results to the public, and not to offend these scholars! Otherwise, we will definitely be swept away by them! ”
After Han Long calmed down, he said expressionlessly, "Principal Qin! I know it's not easy for you to live in the world! All along, I also want to be a person who pretends to be deaf and dumb, compromises, and wisely protects himself! However, since the death of my grandfather, I have understood a lot of things, I think that this society, this nation needs a group of people who are not afraid of power, are willing to sacrifice themselves, dare to tell the truth, and dare to fight against the sword! Otherwise, we and our descendants will only be slaves and scapegoats to others forever! My blood, courage and wisdom have taught me that I can no longer be a minion and a scapegoat! ”
The two fell into an awkward silence, and after Han Long took a sip of tea, he calmly looked at Principal Qin and said, "Principal Qin! I know you're struggling! So be it! You put me on leave without pay for a while, I want to leave school and concentrate on historical research! ”
Principal Qin wiped his tears and said, "Hanlong! You're a good person! I hope you achieve something! Go and apply to the school's personnel department for leave without pay! I'll give you the go-ahead! If you want to go back to school, come back to me! ”
After the conversation, Han Long went to the university's personnel department to apply for leave without pay, and his leave without pay was completed on the same day.
After dinner in the evening, Ruoxin and Hanlong take a walk on the grass outside the house, and Hanlong tells Ruoxin about what happened during the day.
Ruoxin was surprised and said, "Oh my God! It's so sudden! Aren't you becoming a vagrant? ”
"How is that possible? Isn't it a profession to do historical research? Besides, I am also the general manager of an investment company with hundreds of billions of dollars in assets, how can I wear the hat of a jobless vagrant? Han Long took Ruoxin's hand and smiled.
Ruoxin smiled and said, "Okay! We have so much money that we really shouldn't go to work! Let someone else earn that salary! It's not bad for you to stay at home! In the future, spend more time educating Haozhencheng, Zunxian, and Yifang! The children are good, we have no worries! ”
"Yes!" Han Long looked at the sunset innocently, and they held hands and smiled!
