Jiangbei University, once the first institution of higher learning in China, had a very high reputation in Asia and even the world in its early years.
Although many colleges have been split off and become other independent universities, only the two world-famous universities in Kyoto can say that Jiangbei University can hold its own in terms of school strength.
Not only in Jiangbei Province, but even in the minds of most students across the country, the ideal university is Jiangbei University. In everyone's impression, if you can get admitted to Jiangbei University and successfully graduate, you will basically have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life.
At this time, in the Taoyuan Restaurant not far from the south gate of Jiangbei University, several girls were gathering together and discussing something.
"Hey, do you see that boy in the black shirt over there? Since when did Jiang University have such a handsome man?"
"You ask me? I've been to Taoyuan more than a dozen times this semester, and this is the first time I've seen him."
"Hey, which department do you think he is from? How senior is he? He looks a lot like a junior."
"Sister, you will be a senior when next semester starts. Who in this school is not a junior?"
"What's the point of discussing here for a long time? Look at my bravery at the end of my college career and asking for this junior's WeChat account!"
After showing her firm determination, the brave junior shook her newly dyed hair and rushed towards the boy who was sitting in a chair not far away in a daze.
"Hello classmate, I am Li Zihan, a junior in the Accounting Department of the School of Management. Can I add your WeChat account?"
The boy seemed a little surprised. He looked up at this "senior sister" who deliberately found an angle to exude charm. He was a little at a loss and said, "Sorry, I don't use a mobile phone..."
Li Zihan was stunned for a moment, but he still tried to keep the smile on his face, "Classmate, are you kidding me? How come there are still people who don't use mobile phones these days?"
"Ah... I really haven't used my mobile phone. I don't have anyone to contact. And I'm not from your school. I'm waiting for someone here." The boy patted his pocket.
Li Zihan's smile froze a bit on his face. He looked back at the classmates who were waiting for his triumphant return, gritted his teeth, and prepared to risk his face and attack again.
"Senior, what are you doing?"
The voice coming to his ears sounded familiar. Li Zihan turned around and saw a girl with a red high ponytail holding two glasses of watermelon juice in her hands. Her eyes were wandering back and forth between herself and the boy opposite.
"Do you know Jian Xia?" Li Zihan felt bad.
"He is a...distant relative of mine." Su Jianxia put down the watermelon juice and stood between the two of them calmly.
Li Zihan was a little hesitant, "That's it."
"Senior, are you here to ask for WeChat?" Su Jianxia got straight to the point.
Li Zihan was a little embarrassed: "...that's right."
"Then senior sister may be disappointed." Su Jianxia glanced at Wei Ziqi, who had evasive eyes, "My relative is from a small rural area. They are relatively poor and backward, and they don't even have electricity, so they don't even have electricity. I don’t even have a cell phone.”
"He said the same thing just now. I thought it was a joke." Li Zihan was a little surprised. Now that society is developing so fast, there are still such poor places in the country.
Su Jianxia nodded quickly and said: "The land is vast and rich, but there are always some remote areas that cannot be taken care of. And senior sister, look at him, he is as stupid as a piece of wood, and he doesn't look like a city dweller.
Senior sister, you are so good-looking, but you still need to find a serious boyfriend who is of the right family. My relative has nothing but an attractive face, and his face cannot be used as food these days. "
Li Zihan was convinced. She had dated a very handsome man before, but it turned out that he was nothing but good-looking. Not only did she have to spend money to fall in love, but she also had to take care of him like a mother.
Looking at Wei Ziqi who had a blank expression on his face, the two of them were talking like this in front of him, and their eyes were blank. It seemed that they were from a small place and not very smart.
If that's the case, then I'll have something to say when I go back.
"Then, schoolgirl, please take your relatives around for a while. I guess he won't have many chances to go into the city. Let him see the size of our school and so on." Li Zihan said as he walked back.
Su Jianxia waved her hand, "Okay senior."
Seeing Li Zihan chatting with his little sisters and looking this way, Su Jianxia only felt a little funny.
"My eldest young master, someone took notice of you the first time I brought you around the school. I usually stay in the store every day, but I underestimated your charm." Su Jianxia handed the watermelon juice to Wei Ziqi, "Let's go to class with me."
"I didn't say that I would still have classes before." Wei Ziqi was stunned.
Su Jianxia forcibly pulled Wei Ziqi to stand up, "You are here, how can you do it without experiencing the classroom life of a modern university? Do you know how difficult it is to get into Jiangsu University? It is your honor to let you attend classes for free. !”
Wei Ziqi was dragged away like a wooden figure, but he still said reluctantly, "Your classes are of no use to me. They sound boring. It's hard for me to appreciate the joy in class. "
"Just listen if you are told. There are so many words!" Su Jian Xia Yi glared.
Wei Ziqi quickly shut his mouth and stopped talking.
Jiangbei University is a century-old university during the Republic of China. Although the campus was renovated many times later, only the main buildings on the campus were renovated. The layout and ecological environment of the school still retain the atmosphere of a university in the Republic of China.
There are criss-crossing stone roads and sycamore trees can be seen everywhere. Although they are not as strong and tall as the ones in Hu Hai's house, they can still achieve the effect of blocking out the sky and the sun. There are patches of shade everywhere.
The sound of cicadas in the forest, the rustling of leaves blowing in the wind, the young lovers riding the tram together laughing and joking together on the road, the students sitting on the benches by the roadside and quietly endorsing books, carrying books from the dormitory to the teaching building for class. young people, and retired old professors painting landscape paintings by the lake.
When these things come together, even Wei Ziqi, who has seen all kinds of things in the world, will feel a little relaxed physically and mentally at this time.
"Why, are you interested in our school?" Su Jianxia asked curiously, seemingly sensing the change in Wei Ziqi.
"It's a bit. The atmosphere of going to school in this era is indeed much better than before." Wei Ziqi nodded: "But I actually came to your school once, in 1920. At that time, he brought students from national universities with him. name."
"A hundred years ago, what was our school like at that time?"
Wei Ziqi looked at several modern teaching buildings in the distance, a little lost, "It's been too long, and I can't remember it. I just remember that there weren't so many tall buildings at that time, they were all white bricks and green tiles." In the flat building, teachers at that time were still called sir.
The etiquette between teachers and students is very important. They must salute and return the salute when they meet after class and on the road.
The classmates are also very supportive and friendly to each other. Some of them have modest ambitions and want to change their family's life through study. Those with lofty ambitions wanted to use their studies to serve the country, but no matter how big or small, everyone had their own goals in learning, so people at that time seemed...more hopeful. "
"It seems that my uncle quite liked that era." Su Jianxia tilted his head, "But the Republic of China period should also be very beautiful. Just watching it in the TV series makes people yearn for it."
Wei Ziqi nodded, "That era was quite romantic. Everyone was working hard to serve the country. Regardless of men or women, everyone was fighting for their lofty ideals.
Although the lives of most people were still very poor, requiring hard work every day to make money, and there were oppression from foreign countries, the small citizens at that time lived in large courtyards and had their own happiness. "
"What was uncle doing at that time?" Su Jianxia suddenly remembered, "That is, in 1937."
Wei Ziqi thought for a while, "I think I am working as a teacher. If I remember correctly, I am at the National Henan University in Kaifeng. I teach history."
"I don't know that you can teach." Su Jianxia was a little surprised, but quickly said "Oh" again, "That's right, there is no one in this world who knows history better than you."
After hesitating for a moment, Su Jianxia still asked: "Uncle, at that time, didn't you take action?"
Wei Ziqi shook his head, "Some things cannot be changed by our actions. The cause and effect are too heavy. This disaster is destined to happen. Otherwise, there would not be the progress and development you see now. Maybe we Just like North Korea next door, it still remains in a feudal society."
Su Jianxia remembered what she had seen on TV before, the real shots of North Korea still stuck in the 1960s and 1970s, and nodded thoughtfully.
"I also tried to avoid some tragedies at the time, but later I discovered that even if I avoided this place, the same thing would still happen in the next place, as if it was God's will.
The power of an individual is still too small, and no one can compete with the way of heaven. "Wei Ziqi looked into the distance with deep eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Maybe it's just like what uncle said, the occurrence of these things has its own rationality." Su Jianxia tilted his head, "It's just that sometimes I feel that that period was too dark, especially now. Compared with my life, it seems like an illusion and unreal.”
Wei Ziqi was silent for a while and said softly: "It is precisely because of the past that the present exists."
