Chapter 206: Super Distant Relatives

There is no direct flight from Shanghai to Berlin, and you have to make a transfer on the way, so Su Changqing chose Amsterdam.

Having travelled to Europe for a lifetime, he knew that the Netherlands and Germany were the first five Schengen countries, which were easier to get to each other, and that a transfer to Berlin in Amsterdam was the shortest and cheaper.

The plane took off from Shanghai at 9 a.m. and arrived in Amsterdam at 10 p.m. Beijing time, but because of the time difference of 7 hours, it was only 3 p.m. and the sun was shining.

Su Changqing didn't plan to stay here, and then flew to Berlin at five o'clock.

After a day on the plane, he didn't sit down and rest, dragging his suitcases around the mall inside the airport.

Then I heard someone shouting behind me: "Mr. Su, Mr. Su!"

It was really surprising to hear human voices in the noisy bird song on the airport radio, and when I turned around, I saw a woman also dragging a suitcase and walking quickly.

Dressed in a black suit, the camel-colored coat worn over the coat matched the titanium blonde hair, and the gray-blue eyes were as clear as the lake.

Melulan Dora, the first secretary of culture at the U.S. Embassy.

"Mr. Su, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

Melulan Dora looked a little excited, and her face was slightly red.

It's true that I haven't seen each other for a long time, the two had dinner before the filming of "Moving Maze" started, and they didn't talk very happily, Su Changqing didn't listen to her advice, and continued to shoot a film that was obviously a little anti-American.

After the Taiwan Strait crisis, "Moving Labyrinth" received special support in China, and it began to be released on August 1, and Su Changqing also said a lot of anti-war and anti-intervention words in Asia in an interview with CCTV, and the two have not been in contact since.

Su Changqing greeted him and hugged Melulan Dora politely.

Melulan Dora had a refreshing fragrance similar to grass, and Su Changqing felt like she was holding a sika deer.

"Why are you here, transferred to Europe?"

Embassies usually have a rotation system, and the staff changes places after a period of time.

"Why are you here, where are you going?"

In any case, it is too rare to meet old acquaintances in a foreign land thousands of miles away, and both of them are very happy.

Melulan Dora's breath was still a little short: "I'm going to Germany for private matters, I don't seem to have talked to you, I'm German, and my grandmother still lives in Berlin." ”

It turned out to be Germanic descent, no wonder the hair was so blonde.

Meluran Dora said she had just flown in from Beijing, and two days later her grandmother would turn 85 and her children and grandchildren would come back from all over the world to celebrate her.

Knowing that Su Changqing was also going to Berlin, Melulan Dora, as a cultural official, certainly knew that the Berlin International Film Festival was about to open: "Your "The Undertaker" is going to participate in the Berlin Film Festival?"

After the filming of "Moving Labyrinth" started, Su Changqing did not contact Melulan Dora, but he had close contacts with Hollywood, especially David Landau, after all, the next step is to enter the North American market, and there is no reason to ruin the relationship that he has worked so hard to build.

David Landau attaches great importance to the Chinese market, and every year there are films released in the mainland, and his "Titanic" has entered the late stage and will be introduced into China in the future.

Apparently he informed Melulan Dora about Su Changqing's filming of "The Undertaker" in Japan, and the embassy's cultural officials had to escort Hollywood's distribution work, and they kept in touch.

Su Changqing said that he wrote the screenplay for Takeshi Kitano "Thief Family", which was exhibited in this film, and Melulan Dora said: "So Mr. Su came to Berlin for the Silver Bear Award." ”

As soon as he checked the flight, the two were really on the same plane, Su Changqing regretted it a little, he had already known that he had set off from Beijing, and he could tease the canary for more than ten hours all the way.

There were still two hours before the plane took off, Su Changqing went to the café to buy two cups of coffee, and the two found a corner to sit down and chat.

Melulan Dora was not reserved when she was in Beijing, and perhaps on a psychological level, she would be considered a temporary resignation after leaving Beijing.

She inquired in detail about the plot of "Thief Family", and Su Changqing talked about "The Undertaker" again, and in the end she was really surprised: "Your two dramas are very different from the previous films, full of compassion and humanistic care, I didn't expect my heart to be so complex and delicate." ”

This kind of compliment tastes weird, and the implication is that I thought you were a violent and bloodthirsty plasma director.

Then it was all nonsense, Su Changqing very politely sent blessings to her grandmother, and Melulan Dora sighed after thanking: "The reason why I learned Chinese was originally influenced by my grandmother, otherwise I should work in the United States or Europe now, and it is unlikely that I will go to China." ”

Seeing that Su Changqing was interested, she told her grandmother's story.

Her grandmother, a Hungarian-German mother, attended a military school as a young man and joined the German Army after completing her studies.

In the thirties, China bought a large number of German arms, and my grandmother lived in China for more than two years with a military delegation, experienced several major battles, and learned Chinese.

After the outbreak of World War II, my grandmother returned home and continued to serve until the end of World War II.

Melulan Dora's grandfather was German-American, who joined the U.S. Army during World War II and also participated in the Normandy landings.

"Your grandfather captured your grandmother alive?"

Melulan Dora smiled: "That's not true, but later my grandfather fell in love with my grandmother when he was stationed in Germany and gave birth to four children including my father." ”

"Because my grandmother lived in China and knew Chinese, I became interested in China. ”

"Not only that, but my grandmother told me that her ancestors had moved to Europe from China, and that she was of Chinese descent. ”

Su Changqing was a little surprised, and looked Meilulan Dora up and down: "I can't see that you have Chinese ancestry." ”

Melulan Dora drew a circle with her finger in front of her: "That was a long time ago, you may not know that the Hungarians are the descendants of the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu are the descendants of the Xia Dynasty, and they also belong to the descendants of Yan and Huang." ”

Su Changqing understood that this was more than a thousand years ago.

There are two magical so-called Oriental peoples in Europe, one is the Turks, and the Turkic blood may be less than one-tenth left, but they say every day that they are Turkic descendants, and their hometown is in the Qilian Mountains, which is a bit shameless.

The other is a Hungarian, said to be of Hun descent.

During the Han Dynasty, the Huns were crippled by Huo Quai, just like the Turks of the Tang Dynasty later, they could only run all the way west, and they ran to Europe.

The Xiongnu disappeared from Chinese history, but they set off a bloody storm in Europe.

They recuperated on the Black Sea coast for a while, and then sent a war message to the Europeans, who were even more barbaric and backward at that time: "The land that has been trampled by the iron hooves of the Huns will not grow a single grass." ”

And then it was bloodied in Europe.

The whip of God of the Xiongnu Empire was very ferocious, and this was the first large-scale intimate contact between the yellow race in Europe.

However, it was not long before the Xiongnu Empire collapsed, and the Huns were integrated into the white Europeans.

According to the "Historical Records", the ancestors of the Xiongnu were descendants of the Xia Dynasty, called Chunwei, and they were indeed descendants of Yan and Huang.

Scholars have studied the characteristics of the Hungarians such as playing suona, cutting paper and speaking at the end of their speech, and speculated that they originated in Shaanxi, and Hungarian historians really went to Shaanxi to find their roots.

In 04, thousands of Hungarians asked the government to recognize them as Huns, but historically the Huns were really in debt in Europe, and the government was unwilling to bear this pot again, and the application was rejected by the Hungarian parliament.

"So everyone is on their own. ”

This relative also knew too far, and Su Changqing didn't know what to say except this.

"Well," Melulan Dora touched her chest, as if proud, "so I have dragon blood too." ”

Two hours later, the two descendants of the dragon stepped on a plane to Berlin.
