Foreign students at the end of the 80s, in the eyes of the Chinese people, were like giant pandas and golden snub-nosed monkeys.

When Jiang Xun brought Yasuko Zeguchi, a foreign student from Dongying, and Macron, a visiting scholar at Peking University in the United States, to the dormitory, a group of people in the dormitory were gathering together to play chess.

When guests come to the door, the Chinese habit is to clean up first.

But no matter how much you clean up, the dormitory is still a mess, "We came here to invite you to Peking University as a guest." "Macron said it very solemnly, and the invitation he sent was very formal.

Oh, Jiang Xun hesitated, he looked outside the dormitory, he had already surrounded the inner and outer three floors, and looked at these foreigners like they were looking at rare animals, but when they saw Sawaguchi Yasuko, someone's eyes were straight and they couldn't move away.

"When did Jiang Xun make a bunch of foreign friends?"

"Is that woman a Chinese or a foreigner, Dongying?"

"Alas, isn't this famous, Chinese college students know Xunzi, and foreign college students also know Xunzi......"

……

"Then you have to go, you have to go for everything." Seeing Jiang Xun's hesitation, He Bing immediately agreed for him, and he whispered in Jiang Xun's ear, "This is a major matter of friendship between China and foreign countries, and we can't fall behind." ”

"Can I count if I say it?" Jiang Xun also responded in a low voice.

At this time, there are people in the international student office who are in charge of contacting foreign students, and there are also rules for visiting international students......

"Tomorrow is my birthday, and I want to invite Caifang, Li Fulin and Qingnu to Peking University to attend my birthday together." Macron speaks fluent Chinese.

Oh, Jiang Xun only learned that the people from the Peking University Retention Office also came together, and a Canadian student with the Chinese name Dashan went to the girls' dormitory to find Chen Wei and Gong Li.

"We'll see you tomorrow at Peking University." Yasuko Sawaguchi didn't speak Chinese so fluently, and before leaving, she stretched out her hand and invited again.

"See you at Peking University." With his little soft hand in his hand, Jiang Xun agreed happily.

He wore two braces when acting, and later he got used to talking about it, took off one and kept one, and when he took off all the braces after the play, he had half a month to talk badly.

Jiang Xun didn't speak well, but in the eyes of Sawaguchi Yasuko, this was dedication to art, and she looked at Jiang Xun more enthusiastically.

The dishes in the student cafeteria can also be full, but the people who stayed in the office did not let the family eat here, and sent them out of the building.

But as soon as he turned his head, he almost hit a human wall, and the male classmates in the dormitory building all tilted their heads and looked into the distance.

There is no poetry in the distance, only a beautiful shadow.

"Xunzi, when did you meet so many foreigners?" A senior brother of the eighth or sixth level has a look of envy, these days, knowing foreigners not only has face on his face, but also can buy things that ordinary people can't buy.

"I just met, I can testify, our family Xunzi really hasn't dealt with foreigners," He Bing snatched the conversation, "These are all audiences, the audience of the Mulberry Ping Chronicle." ”

"They invited you to Peking University?" Hu Jun's face was serious, although the Chinese opera brand was very loud, but the Peking University brand was harder.

"Hmm." Jiang Xun agreed, squeezed through the crowd, and returned to the dormitory, the millet porridge was cold, "snoring", he took a sip and took another bite of the steamed bun......

……

Jiang Xun received a telephone call from the staff who stayed in the office in the afternoon, reminding him of the issues that should be paid attention to in international exchanges, saying what should be said and not saying what should not be said, and reminding himself at all times......

Well, it seems to be very grand and formal.

Gong Li and Chen Wei also received a call, and the three of them discussed together, this Comrade Macron is going to have a birthday tomorrow, should I prepare a birthday gift?

The next day, the staff from the office came and took them to Peking University.

Gong Li looked at the cake that Jiang Xun was carrying, and then looked at the words on it, and Chen Wei couldn't lift his waist with a smile.

On the cake is a big word "Shou", and there is a line in English wishing you a happy birthday.

A foreigner, longevity, how do you look at it, how can you not match, besides, how old is this Macron, at most in his twenties, but now Comrade Jiang Xun wants to congratulate people on his birthday!

The car drove to the west gate of Peking University, and the international students lived in the spoon garden on the edge of the west gate.

"Hello, Gong Li, hello, Chen Wei...... Hello, Jiang Xun. Seeing Jiang Xun, Gong Li and Chen Wei, Macron was very happy, and he stopped practicing Tai Chi, so he greeted him with a smile.

"This is the ...... of the mountain," he said, introducing other international students around him, "from Canada......

Oh, Jiang Xun held Dashan's hand, at this year's North Platform New Year's Day party, he performed a sketch, this future Chinese did not know, at that time his identity was a comedian.

Macron looked at the cake in his hand and enthusiastically let them into his dormitory, he lived on the fourth floor of Building 4, and the other international students lived in Building 123, Italy, France, East Germany, Romania, South Asia, and the Soviet Union...... Oh, and one more from Ethiopia......

The hallway of the dormitory was pitch black and very dim. At first glance, it seems to be walking towards a beam of light, and hope is right in front of you.

Macron's dormitory is very simple, but it is very warm, with an ink landscape painting on the wall, what appears to be a map of the world, various books on the shelves, and light bulbs with a sense of age......

Next to the dormitory is a large sink in the bathroom, in which laundry is hung.

There is no air conditioning or washing machine in the dormitory or in the bathroom......

Jiang Xun smiled and handed the cake to Macron, "click", I don't know when, there were a few more reporters in the crowd, all holding cameras and constantly shooting.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the Chinese opera students and foreign students association officially started in a lecture hall of Peking University, with melons, fruits, tea, oh, and coke, which is rare in this era, and a banner was pulled at the scene, and there were still reporters taking pictures.

Originally, it was planned that seven or eight international students would participate, but dozens of international students came to the scene, and Jiang Xun didn't know if all the international students from Beiping City came.

It seems that the international students are very interested in Chinese theater and life in the western part of China.

Gong Li and Chen Wei successively introduced the story of going to Liujiaban in northern Shaanxi to experience life, "You don't know, we are the second batch to arrive in northern Shaanxi, and it was Jiang Xun who drove the carriage to pick us up, and we didn't ......recognize it along the way."

Experience life?

These four words seem to be far away from the life of international students, but they are the western world of China that they imagine.

"Jiang Xun, tell me about it."

Jiang Xun didn't want to write or say it, but the staff also solemnly instructed him that this was an exchange between Chinese and foreign students at best, and a diplomatic move at best, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"Liujiapan, we lived there for a month, where we ate and lived with ordinary villagers, herded sheep together, carried water together, and ...... grass together."

Jiangxun seems to have returned to the Loess Plateau, has the current Loess Plateau turned green? Are Brother Guicai and Sister-in-law Yuying busy harvesting in the field? Did the pillar still beat his mother-in-law? Are dogs still herding sheep?

He missed that land and its people.

"Xintianyou?" Yasuko Sawaguchi looked at Jiang Xun, "Is this a song?" Can you sing it to us? ”

Jiang Xun looked at the staff who stayed in the office, and the other party nodded.

You're on that side of the mountain

I'm looking at it from here

Call my sister, do you hear me

You are the tip of my brother's heart......

The desolate and distant singing, although there are only a few words, although Jiang Xun lowered his voice, it still shocked this group of foreigners!

Macron, Oyama, Yasuko Sawaguchi...... They all applauded warmly, "Comrade Jiang Xun, can I learn to sing Xintianyou with you?" At the sorority, Dashan asked with a smile, "I also want to learn acting from you." ”

Oh, worship me as a teacher?

His master is Jiang Kun!

Jiang Xun smiled and waved his hand, "You are not suitable." ”

The staff who stayed behind hurriedly stopped him with their eyes.

"I've acted in sketches...... Dashan hurriedly expressed himself, "I've also watched your sketches, I like the protagonist and supporting roles very much, I like the Mulberry Ping Chronicle very much, your Li Fulin acted so well......"

The discussion and attention of many international students made Jiang Xun embarrassed, and the stubbornness of Dashan made Jiang Xun even more difficult.

Soon he came back and whispered a few words in Jiang Xun's ear.

Jiang Xun sighed, "We can learn from each other......"

"Learning from each other?" Dashan still didn't seem to understand the vastness and excitement of the Chinese Chinese dialect, and Yasuko Zeguchi smiled and clapped his hands, "Dashan, Jiang Xun-san has already agreed." ”

"Then I'll find a master who is acting," Dashan got up from his seat with a smile, "At noon, Master, I'll invite you to dinner." ”

The cafeteria for foreign students in Spoon Garden has a very high roof, a hall, and the chicken drumsticks in it are very good, and Dashan took the initiative to buy two chicken thighs for his master.

This kid looks very filial!

The cake brought by Jiang Xun was also placed on the table, and he and Gong Li, as well as Yasuko Sawaguchi and Macron, all stood in front of the cake with a table knife, and with a "click", the picture was frozen!

……

Four days later, the newspapers in Beijing reprinted a news from the People's Daily that the drama association between Chinese opera students and foreign students was successfully held......

In the newspaper, Jiang Xun was holding a dinner knife in his hand and smiling brightly, Dashan looked at his master with a smug face, and Yasuko Sawaguchi was smiling and handing him a piece of cake......

However, from this day on, Jiang Xun found that the original peaceful life was broken.

There is only one telephone in their dormitory building, and every time a call comes, the staff on duty will shout in the hallway, "Who's calling from where?"

It was still noon, Jiang Xun had just gone upstairs and returned to the dormitory, and he shouted downstairs, "Jiang Xun from Class 87, a call from the Kongzheng Repertory Troupe——"
