The school leaders are naturally very proud.
But actually, I still don’t quite understand how comfortable such a university environment would be for a foodie.
"Li, is this only true here, or is it the whole of China?"
It was hard for Henryk to imagine that all schools in China were of this caliber.
What kind of investment would it be, and what kind of courage would it be?
"Well no, at least not the whole of China."
Li Jinglin shook his head.
For Li Jinglin, what is patriotism?
It’s not mindless praise, nor is it belittlement.
Rather, we should be proud of what we have done well and proud of our achievements. We should also speak out about our shortcomings, face the problem squarely, and look at the shortcomings objectively and rationally.
A true Chinese person should hide the Dharma in his heart, have a scale in his chest, and be polite in his mouth.
"Actually, Huaxia University has made great achievements in the construction of canteens, but overall, it is true that it has not been fully implemented."
Li Jinglin spoke seriously.
"In some universities, the canteens are indeed somewhat unsatisfactory, but that is not the overall phenomenon."
"As a top university, Shangyin is naturally one of the best in this area."
"And for some first-class universities, or top schools such as 985 and 211, the canteen and student food are all important things, and they will be done very well. There are even some universities that are better than Shangyin in terms of quality and cheaper."
"besides?!"
have to say.
Henrik was indeed shocked.
This level is not even unique?
Is there anything else that can compare? There are a lot more?
"Well, at least, nationwide, there are nearly a thousand public undergraduate universities. To put it mildly, at least 90% of them are fully qualified."
Li Jinglin nodded.
He pinched his chin and what he said made Henrik feel even more shocked.
"Even if there are some problems, they are usually minor ones, such as price, taste, etc. After all, financial capabilities are still high and low, and taste is still difficult to agree on."
Hear these words.
Henrik let out a long breath.
Looking at Shangyin's cafeteria, I seemed to be imagining what the cafeterias of other Chinese universities would look like and what the prices would be.
"This is my dream place to study. It is full of humanistic care."
Come to your senses.
Henrik and Maggie looked at each other.
Can't help but give a thumbs up.
"With such a comfortable study environment, this level of living welfare, and a professor of your caliber, Li, I can already imagine that perhaps, in a few decades, this place will become a world-class music mecca!"
Hear what Henrik has to say.
Li Jinglin nodded.
No doubt about it.
Culture, economy, science and technology, everything is national strength, and they are all linked to each other.
With development, Li Jinglin has no doubt that China can replace the lighthouse and become the center of the world.
Li Jinglin has no doubt that various music academies in China can become world music centers.
In other words, this is not a matter of doubt or disbelief.
But believe.
“Thank you very much Mr. Henrik for your recognition of our school!”
When the school leaders heard the "Holy Land" evaluation, they went crazy with joy.
These words come from the mouth of an international level musician.
One can imagine.
What a shock it will cause!
"No, no, it was Shangyin who conquered me."
Henrik shook his head repeatedly.
He looked at Yatu who was still shocked next to him.
I couldn't help but sigh.
"I came to China once in the 1990s. It's hard to imagine that it was just over 20 years ago."
Nineties.
Compared with China at that time, it can indeed be said that it was almost an entire era different from what it is today.
When I came to China again and saw that the hardware conditions were enough to crush those top music universities in the world in my mind, it was impossible to say that I was not shocked.
Henrik's interest became more intense.
This is just hardware.
What about academically?
Henrik didn't think that there would be no hard-core content in a music conservatory with Li Jinglin there.
as expected.
When talking about the project, Li Jinglin spoke softly.
“Because there are many differences between the Chinese and Western modes of appreciating music, as well as musical concerns and aesthetic methods, Chinese orchestral music has always wanted to follow our own path.”
"We Chinese people don't like to wear formal clothes. We come to the concert hall and listen to a masterpiece with concentration. It's like observing a whale in the deep sea. After an hour or two, we finally hear the blue whale from the throat. The sound it made was shocking, but short-lived and majestic.”
"I think Western classical markets also have such problems today."
"um, yes."
Henrik nodded.
In fact, many people in China think that Western classical music is difficult to appreciate, and there is no need to belittle oneself, or say that the culture is different.
Because in fact, nowadays, it is increasingly difficult for Western listeners to appreciate classical music.
Times are changing after all.
"Moreover, we believe that Western classical music, or Chinese classical music, is both elegant, but it should be elegant, not elegant."
"Our Shangyin School adheres to the principle of advancing with the times. Currently, among the best majors, in addition to composition and music performance, there are also musicology research that integrates Eastern and Western music, as well as modern digital technology. Media arts, recording arts.”
“Actually, serious music plays a large part in modern people’s lives, but it’s just hard to realize.”
Li Jinglin began to talk to Yatu and Henrik.
Many concepts and development directions are clear and clear.
It can be seen that a very rigorous and systematic structure is visible.
"I think that in the new era, the track of serious music must combine the impact of music on emotions and the psychology of music, break through tradition, and serve people better."
"For example, in shopping malls, restaurants, clubs, hotels, leisure venues, or even at home."
"It can be in games, TV series, movies, animations, or even long and short videos, etc."
"In this way, serious music can be everywhere, and with its truly profound and ingenious artistic sense, it can subconsciously increase people's experience, integrate with life, and bring about beautiful emotional fluctuations."
"Although it seems to have faded and become a little transparent, in fact, I think this can be said to be a new life of serious music."
Henrik listened to Li Jinglin's words.
He couldn't help but nod his head repeatedly.
In fact, Westerners have made considerable efforts to remedy the situation after Western classical music gradually declined.
For example, popularization.
The proportion in TV series, movies, animations, and games is quite large, and it is very successful.
Rather, it is indeed progress in this regard.
Although the content of Hollywood movies is often criticized, Hollywood has surpassed China in terms of the proportion of investment in music, and it attaches great importance to it. With music, it has really won a considerable number of fans.
This is especially true for music in games. It can even be said that games have a greater influence on the youth group than movies and television.
"Well, it's true that serious music can have different survival soils."
"Oh, mentioning this, I think of "The Witcher 3" that you once collaborated with Poland on, Li."
Henrik laughed.
"You don't even know that our neighbor's children love this game very much. I can often hear them playing the original soundtrack of "The Witcher 3" for sale."
Speaking of which.
Henrik suddenly chuckled.
Deepen cooperation.
Of course it can be of a commercial nature!
Immediately.
Henrik looked at Li Jinglin and asked.
"We in France are also a major and influential game company."
"Li, do you want to do some cooperation? Let me introduce you to Ubisoft."
"."
Li Jinglin was stunned.
Then he suddenly covered his face.
wipe!
Ubisoft!
Didn’t my friend, Lao Ma, just switch from Jackass to Ubisoft?
And then, you invited yourself?
I said, did I forget something?
I always felt like I had forgotten something, but I never remembered it.
as expected.
What the hell is Ubisoft?
"Speaking of which, my friend who I met at Jackass switched jobs to Ubisoft, and he also invited me here before."
Li Jinglin patted his forehead again.
"It's just that I forgot"
"Hahaha!"
Henrik was stunned for a moment.
He laughed immediately.
"Li, if you have a chance this time, don't forget it!"
"Okay okay"
Li Jinglin smiled and nodded.
Then he continued to wait for Henryk to visit.
Next.
Under the leadership of Li Jinglin and the school leaders, Henryk visited the school's piano room, theater, living area, etc. in detail.
Moreover, some key academic projects are also introduced.
Chatting, walking around, and eating, the time passed slowly.
Stay until evening.
The students also ended their day of study, and many of them gathered in the grand theater under the organization of the teacher.
Waiting for Henrik's speech.
Although, this speech is not mandatory.
However, it still attracted a large number of students.
After all, this was no dry speech.
Although there are not many repertoires, it can still be said that there is a small concert by Henrik.
This has caused a sudden increase in the pressure on teachers to organize their work, and they are very overwhelmed.
However, despite the excitement, the order was very good. It can be seen that he is very disciplined and has high quality.
Wait until everything is ready.
Henrik officially met with the students in the form of a concert.
Although he is very old, the gradual deterioration of his body functions has caused Henryk's physical strength to decline significantly.
But the narrative and emotional expression have been honed over so many years.
All I can say is that it is outrageous.
Even Li Jinglin, who was backstage, couldn't help but admire him. He was indeed one of the best performers in the world.
Emotional expression and narrative.
This thing.
Or, like Li Jinglin, he is a genius with a delicate mind, who can quickly realize the golden coordination ratio between emotion and life, philosophy and technique, and turn it into musical notes.
Or, you have to be like Henrik.
To experience the ups and downs of life for decades, walk the road for decades, and hone the understanding of violin playing for decades.
Live performance.
and watch from the video.
It's completely different.
Henrik raised his bow and drew a short note.
It will be like magic, making people feel a strong emotional contagion.
It seems that he is not playing the piano.
Rather, it is like a kind old man slowly telling the story of his life.
After decades of turbulence, it has returned to the ordinary, with joy, anger, sorrow, and the pain of love and separation.
Such a shock to the soul.
It is really difficult to describe it in words.
Stay until the show is over.
The students burst into applause.
Full of enthusiasm, the entire venue is filled, and the warm-toned lighting makes people feel warmer.
"Students, I feel your enthusiasm."
Henrik smiled and waved to the students.
The translator on the side was translating for the students seriously.
"Oh oh oh!"
As soon as the translator finished speaking, the students started calling eagerly.
in cheers.
The translator finally felt the meaning of his own existence with tears in his eyes.
these two days.
Most of his work was cut off by Li Jinglin.
Didn't show any sense of existence at all.
The only thing that can be done.
It was to translate some of Henrik's words for his leaders.
It can only be said that people are tough and tough.
nowadays.
Listen to the cheers of the students.
The translator's face was red and full of energy.
"Thank you to Shangyin for inviting me to see so many energetic children."
Henrik smiled slightly.
"To be honest, I envy you very much. I envy you that you can study and live in such an excellent school with such excellent teachers."
"For example, my good friend, Mr. Li Jinglin."
"Oooo!!"
After translating, Li Jinglin stood up and bowed slightly.
The students suddenly became more excited.
Good guy!
Sure enough, it's you, Li Jinglin!
"I'm impressed by Brother Lin's connections."
“Keep up the good work and try to invite a few more NB restaurants next time.”
The students calmed down after a brief fever and waited quietly for Henrik to continue his speech.
After saying a few words briefly.
Henrik laughed and talked about the joint school with Shangyin.
"I am honored that I can jointly run a school with Mr. Li Jinglin for graduate students majoring in violin."
“Perhaps, next, my alma mater, the National Conservatory of Music in Paris, will also have some cooperation with Shangyin.”
"Of course, this is a very official statement."
Speaking of which.
Henrik suddenly shrugged.
The whole style of speaking suddenly changed.
"Of course, the school will naturally supervise these matters."
"As for me, what I want to say is..."
"Chinese music, like Chinese food, is different from the West, but it is very profound and very attractive to me."
Immediately.
Henrik suddenly looked at a student in the first row.
He asked with a smile.
"Do you like fried shrimp with cashew nuts?"
Before the translator could open his mouth to translate.
The student who knew French and was asked the question in the audience understood Henrik's question directly.
Open your mouth and answer.
"like!"
In fact, the students haven’t eaten either.
But then.
Henryk's words directly blinded the eyes of the translator and school leaders.
"Haha, I like it too!"
Henrik stretched out his thumb and said a word that no one expected in pure Chinese.
"Bullshit! Bullshit!"
It's almost as good as saying that the university prepares dishes. It's either stupid or bad.
Is there a possibility that it is just an example?
When something goes wrong, we can resist, we can supervise, and we can oppose.
But don’t kill them all with one blow, and don’t go straight to the point of saying “universities all use pre-made dishes”.
It's really not necessary.
Most university cafeterias, anyway, give me the feeling that they are doing charity. Compared with the food I eat in social work, university cafeterias are like heaven.
Seeing a large group of people making noise online, I was speechless.
Boycotting is good, but demonizing is not.
Anyway, I personally think that the cost performance and quality of Chinese university cafeterias are top notch, that’s all.
