A few minutes before 18 o'clock, Dong Qiangqiang stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby of the teaching building with a bag of fruit, and the image of the just-concluded orientation meeting flashed through his mind.
There is a long table made of three tables on the podium. On the large blackboard that can be moved up and down, there are five characters "Welcome New Students" written in chalk in neither Song or italics. There is not even a simple banner. Compared with The welcome party in Hanover was really simple.
"Hello everyone! I am the host of today's orientation meeting, Zheng Chunhua, the president of the Student Union of Trier University. I would like to warmly welcome the new students on behalf of the Student Union today."
There was sparse applause from the audience, and Dong Dong drummed enthusiastically, but after just a few drums, he heard someone not far behind him whispering: "Flattery."
He turned around when he heard the sound, and saw Wang Yun staring at him provocatively, his eyes full of dissatisfaction and hostility. After rolling his eyes hugely, he waved enthusiastically towards Zheng Chunhua on the stage.
Dong Qiangqiang was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned his attention to the podium again.
"Today's lecture has a total of 3 topics, and the total duration will not exceed half an hour. There will be free communication time after all topics. Everyone has the opportunity to ask questions, so don't worry if you didn't write it down or didn't understand." She After a pause, "Since everyone has to spend an important period of their lives here. As an 'old student' who has studied and lived here for several years, we would like to share some experiences with you, hoping that these experiences can help Everyone here can solve practical difficulties, or help everyone take as few detours as possible. Of course, each of us has limited abilities, so we sincerely hope that all the students here can join the student union, help each other, unite and share success Give your experience to others, as the saying goes, when everyone adds fuel, the flames will rise."
"Let me share with you the first topic: safety." In the eyes of everyone who was slightly surprised, Zheng Chunhua started the topic slowly, "We have traveled thousands of miles to study in Germany. There is no doubt that everyone wants to Graduate earlier, but the process (schooling) can take at least two years, and at most five or six years or even longer. In this short period of time, everyone will face various problems other than study. Although you get a diploma It is important to everyone, but what is more important is not your academic performance, but whether you can graduate safely in the end."
The audience was completely silent, and everyone was listening attentively.
"Some students graduated halfway through college, and others may have graduated after college. They think, 'I am already an adult, and I know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.' Some even have no experience in domestic high schools. I came out right after I finished my studies and have been studying and living under the care of the school and my parents. However, the environment here is different from that at home. When you stay here long enough, you will know that Germany is not 100% safe. Here it will be All kinds of unexpected accidents happen. Some people unfortunately drowned on the eve of graduation, some had terrible accidents while driving, some went astray and became addicted to drugs, and some were defrauded of money and goods because of greed. If these are still For example, there is another invisible group that is a bit huge, that is, those students who have fallen into self-doubt and are under tremendous pressure because they have repeatedly failed in exams. Many of them suffer from depression in varying degrees. Students, depression is a disease. , although it is invisible and intangible, it is a stumbling block that many students studying in Germany will encounter. We sincerely hope that every student can stay away from various diseases, and sincerely hope that the students will always be safe. Safety also includes psychological safety. At the same time, you should cherish, love and discipline yourself, and stay away from all illegal and disciplinary behaviors. When you feel that your personal safety is threatened by others or your life is in danger, please call the police as soon as possible. The police phone number is 110, just like in China. , the first aid and fire alarm number is 112. If you encounter a problem that does not require police treatment but that you cannot solve independently, you can contact the student union as soon as possible. Our phone number and email address can now be told to everyone."
She stood up, turned around and wrote her contact information on the blackboard, and the other two people sitting on the stage did the same. There was a small whisper from the audience.
…
Dong Qiangqiang was still thinking about the scene just now when he heard someone calling his name from behind.
He originally planned to leave after the lecture, but Zheng Chunhua asked him to wait for her. Dong Qiangqiang guessed that the other party most likely had something to say, thinking it was related to the exemption of classes, so he stayed.
He turned his head when he heard the sound and saw Zheng Chunhua waving the helmet in his hand towards him and walking quickly towards him with light steps. The band-aid on her cheek had gone, but her cheek was still a pale red. The light green Adidas sportswear she wore during the lecture changed back to the red motorcycle suit she wore in the morning, and her hair returned to the ponytail from just now.
Before Zheng Chunhua could say anything after approaching, Dong Qiangqiang had already handed over the fruit in his hand: "You should eat more fruits in autumn, (injury) will heal quickly."
He didn't ask the other person what he wanted to say, he waited for the other person to take the initiative to speak.
"Thank you." Zheng Chunhua took the fruit with a smile, pointed to the door, and motioned Dong Qiangqiang to go out, "What do you think?"
"I didn't expect you to be the president of the student union." Dong Qiangqiang told the truth.
"Don't you know anyone here?" Zheng Chunhua asked.
"How did you know?" Dong Qiangqiang was a little surprised. He didn't say a few words to the other party.
"If you had friends here, they would ask you to come to me before going to the office." Zheng Chunhua smiled, "That way you won't have any misunderstandings with Wang Yun."
Dong Qiangqiang didn't want to talk about this person anymore, even just a few words. He chose silence.
"His behavior today is indeed inappropriate, but he is not a bad person." Zheng Chunhua explained for Wang Yun, "You will know what kind of person he is if you have more contact with him in the future."
Dong Qiangqiang felt strange: Why should she help him? Is this why she asked him to stay?
While they were talking, the two of them walked to the door of the building. Dong Qiangqiang took the lead and pushed open the heavy glass door like a gentleman. An autumn breeze carrying the fresh smell of plants blew in their faces. Outside the door was a stone staircase. The two of them climbed down the stairs and walked slowly along the corridor towards the parking lot.
Unlike BJ, which has almost no autumn, autumn in Germany is pleasant and long. Although it is almost mid-September, the coolness in the evening is not exaggerated, and the physical comfort has not plummeted with the change of seasons.
At this moment, the sky is filled with large swaths of pink and purple sunset, and the setting sun casts its last afterglow on the world. The campus, which was not popular during the day, now looks even more empty and lonely.
"There don't seem to be many people here today, only 15 including me." Dong Qiangqiang found a topic.
"(Domestic students) generally come to Germany to study more in engineering and science, and less in liberal arts. The University of Trier is a liberal arts university, so not many people come to study in Trier every year." Zheng Chunhua looked at the lavender and purple flowers in the distance. The golden-yellow horizon asked leisurely, "That's not what I just said. What I want to know is, compared with what you heard in Hanover, will you take it seriously after listening to it?"
"Generally, welcoming new people is a joyful tone. After all, everyone comes with good expectations." Dong Qiangqiang is not someone who likes to talk about his true thoughts when meeting others for the first time, but Zheng Chunhua's way of dealing with others makes him unconsciously willing to express, "It's rare for someone like you to talk about safety in a serious and sincere way during the first meeting. The examples used are all very shocking, including your own. I personally feel that today's lecture was too serious and not lively enough. ." He said carefully.
"Are you trying to say that I am old-fashioned?" Zheng Chunhua asked with a smile.
"That's not what I meant." Dong Qiangqiang hurriedly defended, "I'm not very good at talking, don't mind."
Zheng Chunhua's beautiful face gradually became solemn under the high light of the setting sun: "Last year, our welcome party was also the traditional one with lanterns and festoons, singing and dancing, dinner after the lecture, and even karaoke after the meal, but that kind of welcome was very superficial. , except for wasting the activity funds donated by students to the student union, there is no meaning. And there have been so many accidents among Chinese students in the past two years, so we will make safety the first theme this year, and we also hope to attract everyone's attention, especially to you These (people) have just come out of China. After all, for international students, academic qualifications are not the most important, safety is."
"Are the students you just talked about in the lecture who were involved in the accident all went to school in Trier? I mean..."
"That's not all." Zheng Chunhua shook her head, "There are also people from nearby universities."
"It's really a pity." Dong Qiangqiang thought of Yu Jianghai for some reason. He suddenly realized that he didn't hate Yu Jianghai that much.
"Who says it isn't?" Zheng Chunhua sighed, with a sigh of relief, "Especially when you see the appearance of these students' gray-haired parents in Germany."
There was a mist in her eyes.
Dong Qiangqiang thought of all the experiences he had experienced after landing in Germany, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings. He had an inexplicable urge to call his parents.
The two of them didn't speak for a while, walking back and forth, dullness controlling the atmosphere.
The setting sun disappeared without knowing when, and the pink-purple sky was replaced by the tablecloth by invisible hands.
The autumn night sky is sparkling, clear and silent. Listening carefully, you can vaguely hear the sporadic sounds of people and cars in the distance.
The parking lot was quickly reached, and the two of them stood in front of a red motorcycle.
Zheng Chunhua asked while putting on her helmet: "Do you remember the other (themes)?"
"The second (topic) is exams, and the third (topic) is life. I have memorized them all." Dong Qiangqiang patted the car seat, "But the amount of information you talked about is too large. I have to digest it carefully. If I’ll ask you if I don’t understand anything.”
Before Dong Qiangqiang finished speaking, a horn sounded in the distance. Zheng Chunhua looked towards the sound and started the motorcycle.
He subconsciously looked at the place where the sound came from and saw a familiar figure, which surprised him, as if he suddenly understood why the other party wanted to leave him to talk.
"You first prepare to talk to the professor about your free class, and we'll talk about other things later." She warned uneasily.
"Okay. Thank you very much for today. I'll treat you to dinner next time." Dong Qiangqiang turned his head and took a step back unconsciously.
"By the way, the position of the Propaganda Director of the Student Union has been vacant for a long time. The old people are very busy. You have just arrived. You can give it a try. You can get to know the classmates here. It may also be helpful to your future study and life. Of course I I’m not forcing you, just think about it first and we’ll discuss it in detail next time we meet.”
Having said that, before Dong Qiangqiang could politely refuse, Zheng Chunhua had already put down the visor of his helmet, and the steel monster neighed, leaving Dong Qiangqiang in a puff of blue smoke.
