Chapter 132 131 "Today we are the fragrance of peaches and plums, and tomorrow we will be the pillars of society"
Today is Sunday. Fang Minghua specially put on a clean white shirt and blue trousers, and his hair was neatly combed. He did not forget Put a pen in your shirt pocket.
Because today I have to go to Western University to receive my diploma, and at the same time I have to take a group photo with the whole class.
Still carrying a satchel that had turned white and yellow after washing, Fang Minghua hurriedly rushed to Western University on his bicycle. When he walked to the school gate, he met Zhao Hongjun who had just gotten off the bus.
Today, I saw Zhao Hongjun. He changed his usual fashionable young clothes and put on a white shirt and blue trousers, but his curly hair still made him stand out.
"Why don't you drive your Hongqi car?" Fang Minghua joked.
“My dad confiscated it and said that we must be humble and cautious now. What’s the fuss about a Hongqi car that is about to be scrapped?” Zhao Hongjun complained as he walked.
Ouch
As expected, he is a big leader and his political acumen is very high.
Fang Minghua said with a smile: "Your dad is right, I think you should stop dancing from now on. Don't go dancing like ballroom dancing or disco."
"Isn't that true? Is it illegal to dance?!" Zhao Hongjun disagreed.
Fang Minghua smiled and said nothing.
“Hey, Minghua, let me tell you, I went to Shanghai for a meeting not long ago and saw a white car that looked very fashionable! After asking about it, I found out that it was our country and Germany. A car produced by a joint venture."
"Is it called Santana?" Fang Minghua answered with a smile.
“You know too?”
"Nonsense, didn't I go to Shanghai on a business trip some time ago?" Fang Minghua asked.
“Oh, yes. I liked it very much when I saw it. Then when I asked about the price, I was like, wow, 200,000 yuan! I can’t afford it even if I don’t eat or drink for 20 years!”
200,000.
Which idiot suddenly raised the price of a car from 80,000 to 200,000? !
Fang Minghua cursed secretly.
Before he traveled, he read on the Internet that the original price given by Santana was 80,000 yuan, but the price in China was abruptly mentioned at 200,000 yuan!
Otherwise, if we write another book and publish it in Xiangjiang, we can easily buy one and say goodbye to the 28-year-old car.
Here, Zhao Hongjun continued to complain: "With this little salary, what can I do? I really want to quit my job!"
It's the same old tune again!
Fang Minghua didn't know how many times he heard Zhao Hongjun talk about resigning, and his ears were numb. However, he still worked very happily in the Planning Commission. I heard that he had become a deputy division-level cadre for inspection.
Too lazy to pay attention to him.
The two walked and chatted as they walked into Western University. When they arrived at the door of the third floor of the teaching building, students from the correspondence class arrived one after another, and everyone was very excited.
A grand graduation ceremony was held in a lecture theater on the third floor. Professor Yang Dehou, Vice President of Western University, came to the venue to personally award graduation certificates to the students in the correspondence class.
It was Fang Minghua's turn. After he bowed, Principal Yang handed him his graduation certificate with both hands and said with a smile: "Classmate Fang Minghua, congratulations on your successful graduation."
Fang Minghua felt a little ashamed.
To be honest, apart from attending classes seriously at the beginning, there were more and more things to do later on, including frequent business trips and various other things. Going to school became three days of fishing and two days of drying out nets.
This diploma is almost a fake.
After the graduation certificates were awarded, everyone took a group photo in the open space outside the teaching building. Of course, they couldn’t forget to hold each other’s notebooks and write various graduation messages:
“The most beautiful thing in life. One is that our happiness is greater than our misfortune”
“Even if life is like a sigh, let this sound exude fragrance”
"Whoever can't burn can only smoke - this is the theorem." - Ostrovsky
Fang Minghua is not immune to the custom, prepare a notebook, others leave messages for yourself, and you also leave messages for others .
At this time, he saw a girl wearing a blue suspender skirt, a white shirt and short hair standing not far away.
It’s Li Li.
Fang Minghua remembers that when he first saw her reciting poetry at Western University, she seemed to be wearing this outfit. Three years passed quickly.
After thinking for a while, Fang Minghua closed his notebook and walked towards the girl.
"Fang Minghua, congratulations on your graduation." The girl looked at him and smiled.
“Thank you.”
“Have you graduated too?”
"Well, I'm leaving school in July." Li Li replied, and then said: "Fang Minghua, let's just walk around."
Fang Minghua nodded, and the two of them walked around the campus aimlessly. .
The university campus is beautiful at the end of June.
The summer solstice has arrived and everything is in high spirits. The summer trees are sparse, the green cover is like an umbrella, and the increasingly hot sunlight leaks through the layers of branches and leaves.
Not far away, a group of graduates were lining up in a chorus, singing Nie Er's "Graduation Song":
Today we are the fragrance of peaches and plums
Tomorrow we are the pillars of society
Today we are singing together,
Tomorrow we will set off a huge wave of national self-rescue!
The singing voice is loud and clear.
"It's so fast. I graduated in the blink of an eye." Li Li suddenly sighed after seeing all this.
Fang Minghua knew that the girl was not just talking about him, but about herself.
“I’m really reluctant to leave.” The girl said again.
"Where were you assigned after graduation?" Fang Minghua asked with concern.
“I took the postgraduate entrance examination, and I took the postgraduate entrance examination for Professor Xu Yuanchong of Yan University.”
"Xu Yuanchong? That's a famous translator in our country." Fang Minghua was surprised.
"You also know?" This time it was Li Li's turn to be surprised.
Of course I know.
He had read the information of this scholar before traveling through time. He is a professor at Yan University, a translator, and has been a literary translator for more than 80 years. His translations cover Chinese, English, French and other languages. The translations focus on the English translation of ancient Chinese poems, forming a rhyme. Methods and principles of poetry translation On the topic, he is known as "the only person who translates poetry into English and French"
He has translated Tang poetry and Song lyrics, "Laozi", "The Book of Songs", "The Story of the West Chamber" and other Chinese classical literary masterpieces into English and French. His 30 translated poems have been translated into English and French. selected as a teaching material by universities.
In modern terms, he is the hero of cultural export.
Of course, I couldn't say that to the girl in front of me, so I said vaguely: "I have been to Yanjing several times on business, and I heard about this scholar while chatting with the literati in Yanjing."
Li Li was not much surprised.
She has known him for a while, especially during that time, some new words and his erudite knowledge often popped out of his mouth, which made her very interesting.
It’s just, hey
Li Li quickly adjusted her mood and continued: "Professor Xu was transferred to Yanda at the end of last year and immediately recruited the first batch of graduate students. I applied after hearing the news last year, and I was admitted."
"Your English skills are quite good and your literary accomplishment is also high. You are exactly the student that Professor Xu needs." Fang Minghua said.
“Actually, I didn’t plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination. When I was a sophomore in college, the leaders of China Central Radio asked me to work for them after graduation to host English programs and appreciate my voice and spoken language. They're all good, and I'm happy to go."
"The announcer is also good, so you changed your mind in the end?" Fang Minghua said.
"Yes, I changed my mind." Li Li stopped and looked at Fang Minghua: "It's because of you."
