Chapter 453 Understand a little

"The plane is still taxiing? Be careful, I'm on this side of the exit. I should be very obvious with my brown windbreaker and red scarf."

"Be careful when picking up your luggage. If you have valuables, be sure to check them on the spot. Although Tianhe Airport will most likely not compensate for damaged luggage, it's always better to know in advance."

There is a sense of responsibility to arrange everything properly, and a sense of caution to make preparations for any unexpected events.

It's just... a pain in the ass, because Gu Lu can't say that there's anything wrong with the other party's instructions. There's too much correct nonsense, and it really feels like he's being long-winded.

Gu Lu put down his phone and waited for the luggage. He stared at the roulette wheel and saw a straight-looking man standing at the luggage exit, blocking each piece of luggage with his hand... That was good.

Judging from his standing posture, he looks like a soldier.

Gu Lu's luggage was naturally also "favored" and was carried out.

The person who picked up the plane just received a call.

"I'm sorry, Brother Li. I was in a hurry yesterday and forgot to print it. I will send it to you by email right away. Please accept it, Brother Li." Tian Xiao's voice and expression seemed to be on a different level. His voice was very positive, but his face was full of Sima.

Gu Lu would sometimes be like this. When he was still sleeping in, Professor Lu would call him. His normal response and sleepy face were also two different levels.

The Pen Spinning King's facial features haven't changed much, but he's gained weight - and as expected, being fat ruins everything, even his advantage of "long fingers" is gone, because his fingers are fat and thick and don't look long at all.

Because the attire was told in advance, Gu Lu recognized the person who picked him up at the airport at a glance.

"Teacher Gu, oh, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still as charming as ever." Tian Xiao went up to greet him first. Gu Lu was a celebrity, so he often appeared on TV. Therefore, it was no problem to spend some time to search for his recent photos.

"I still can't claim to be so elegant, I can only say that I have an outstanding demeanor." Gu Lu joked.

“Hahaha,” Tian Xiaotun recalled the joke that he was becoming more and more shameless, and said, “Yes, yes, you are very outstanding. I fully supported your works last year, “The Four” and “From the New World”. They were both very exciting.”

"Teacher Gu, here are hot drinks. The weather in Seoul is a bit weird." Tian Xiao took out a drink from the bag, which also contained a small piece of bread.

"Do I have to call you teacher?" Gu Lu joked, "Have you ever considered calling me senior?"

"Senior is also very good, then I will call you Senior Gu." Tian Xiao immediately responded.

Gu Lu felt a little tired, because no matter what he said, Tian Xiao always responded in a more humble way. Even if he took the initiative to make a few jokes, it was completely ineffective.

"Then can I start filming?" This made Gu Lu feel a little reserved.

"That's totally fine, Senior Gu. I originally thought I would go back to the hotel to rest, eat something, and then start filming." Tian Xiao said, "It's totally fine to start now."

The car drove to the hotel. Along the way, Gu Lu mentioned something about their student days and wanted to talk about it.

But the response was, "Yeah, I was pretty free back then. But Senior Gu must have worked very hard back then, busy with writing and studying every day. That's why he was so successful. I can't compare to him."

Okay, that puts an end to the conversation.

Arriving at the hotel room, Gu Lu opened the photographic equipment and handed over the time capsule.

"Then I'll tear it open," Tian Xiao asked with a questioning look.

Gu Lu made a gesture of invitation, and the look in his eyes revealed that this thing originally belonged to you.

[Did you win first place in the pen spinning competition?
Did you make a lot of friends in high school?
Have you ever been handsome once in your high school career? ]

"Hahaha, these three questions are really a bit..." He laughed and then he couldn't laugh anymore.

It was the first question that broke Tian Xiao's mood, as he moved his fat and slightly clumsy fingers.

If it were the case, Tian Xiao would have wished that he had not gone to the pen spinning competition—Yes! It would have been better if he had not gone.

In this line of work, he would think, “It was the external environment that didn’t allow it, it was my parents who didn’t agree. If I had gone there at that time, I would definitely have won the championship.”

Now, it's so cruel that I don't even have the qualifications to think like that.

"Well, Senior Gu, how should I cooperate with the filming?" Tian Xiao quickly adjusted his state.

"No need, just the most realistic reaction is fine." Gu Lu responded.

Gu Lu only stayed in Seoul for one day and felt sad when he left.

He knew that Tian Xiao had landed in Seoul, and he didn't know whether society had taught him how to behave. His current mantra was "Everything you do must leave traces, and leaving traces is very important."

March is the day when Zhou Lin steps down as Secretary-General of the Global Model United Nations. The next in line is Bjorn Hampers, a Swedish student studying at the University of Pennsylvania.

The handover ceremony was very formal.

The handover ceremony for the Secretary-General of the Federation International Model United Nations (WIMUN) opened at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, and was attended by the Assistant Secretary-General for Youth Affairs and other senior officials of the United Nations.

What is this called?
Even if it is just playing house, if the artistic sense is strong enough, then this game of house will become "high-end house wine"!
Zhou Lin was a little reluctant to part with the "fountain pen".

The reason for putting quotation marks is that the pens used by the Model United Nations Secretary-General were all given by the real Secretary-General. They can be said to be tokens of trust similar to dragon head sticks.

Zhou Lin acted very calmly, and the first word she wrote with the pen was "reconciliation". She hugged Bi Yang and handed the pen to him.

"Zhou, can you give me an autograph?" Swedish student Bijan said in English, "You are my sister's idol."

"Really? It's an honor." Zhou Lin thought the other party was just flattering each other commercially.

Bijan said, “It’s true because you are also the first non-American woman to become a WIMUN, which is very groundbreaking.”

"My sister and I watched several of the games. They were so exciting." Bi Yang's added words showed that he was sincere.

"This is the credit of our team. We have prepared sufficient materials." Zhou Lin said, "The signatures will come later. Now this is your stage."

Zhou Lin left the stage, and it was the turn of the new Model United Nations Secretary-General Bi Yang to come on stage and say a few words.

"WFUNA is hosted by the World Federation of United Nations Associations and is organized by official and non-governmental organizations around the world specifically for young people...providing a conference experience of diplomats on the real UN stage..."

Bi Yang has to repeat himself first, first promoting the event, then talking about his feelings about becoming the Secretary-General of the Model United Nations, and finally having a video conference with the current Secretary-General. Zhou Lin also had the above discussion last year.

"Maybe this is my peak..." Zhou Lin looked at Bi Yang on the stage and recalled his past glorious figure.

"If this is my peak, then my life is a bit boring." Zhou Lin changed her mind and then she became distracted.

It was more than an hour after the whole ceremony ended. Swedish student Bijan immediately found Zhou Lin and handed her paper and pen.

"Can you write: I wish Mr. Bi Yang a bright future?" Before Zhou Lin started writing, he saw that the other party was silent, so he asked anyway.

"Yes, of course." Bi Yang nodded hurriedly. Zhou Lin's English level was good enough for her to communicate with outsiders.

After writing it quickly, Zhou Lin signed her name in Chinese, and she did not have an English name. When she was elected last year, someone suggested that she take an English name, but Zhou Lin obviously did not follow this suggestion.

"Zhou, let's go have dinner together. I just became the Secretary General of WIMUN, and I have a lot of things I want to ask you." Bi Yang said in a very sincere and businesslike tone.

"I remember there is a cafeteria in the building. We have it free today, so let's not waste it." Zhou Lin said.

The cafeteria was crowded and noisy, so it was difficult to ask for advice, but since the other party said so, Bi Yang had no choice but to agree.

Zhou Lin shared her experience of the past year without reservation. Since the United Nations itself quite agrees with WIMUN, as the person in charge of the global "Jia Jia Jiu", she has done a lot.

First of all, because developed countries around the world recognize this thing, many of the "topics" submitted by Zhou Lin are helpful for foreign students to understand China.

If you want to win, you must collect more information. The more you check, the better you will understand.

"It's actually possible, Zhou, you're really a genius." Bi Yang felt that his eyes had been opened.

"When I was young, I wanted to let foreign countries know more about my country, so I worked hard to become the secretary-general of WIMUN," Zhou Lin said. "But after I became the secretary-general, I found that the communication power was not as great as I imagined. Strictly speaking, I am a little disappointed with the influence of WIMUN."

Uh - Bi Yang couldn't respond to this.

The two of them ate and chatted, and at the end, Bi Yang asked for Zhou Lin's contact information - email address.

Then the first email Zhou Lin sent to him was: [Sorry, I signed with your name. What’s your sister’s name? I’ll mail another one to you.]
"..." Bi Yang couldn't help scratching his head. The female student who fought three kingdoms alone was too smart. She couldn't hide any of her little thoughts.

That's it, my sister is just a cover...

Zhou Lin is abroad, and Gu Lu is about to leave.

Before going to the Bear Country, Gu Lu watched the opera "Eugene Onegin" performed by the People's Grand Theater. Because the ticket was given to him by the Bear Country ambassador, he sat in the best viewing seat.

Without pretending to be cool or posting on WeChat Moments, Gu Lu could only understand a little bit. Classical music can be heard as pleasant, but this opera - Gu Lu didn't feel it was pleasant...

Where do you understand?

Because someone once told him: "In addition to the essential beauty of dance, what can get high scores is the display of power. The sense of power is not the greater the strength, the better, but the more power that bursts out from stillness to movement and then to the freeze frame, the better. In the freeze frame of Yang Liping's dance, it seems like a vivid peacock is dancing. Teacher Shan Chong's movements and stillness make the figure of "The Goddess of Luo River" as graceful as a startled swan and as graceful as a swimming dragon concrete."

The art of opera seems to have something to do with it, and the actors' exaggerated body movements are all waiting for the moment when the opera will bloom and explode.

When the actor who played Eugene Onegin met Tatiana again after many years, everything had changed. Onegin wanted to pursue Tatiana, who was moved by his true love confession but still refused.

The "pushing and shoving" and "singing" of the two actors in this plot really touched Gu Lu, and he seemed to be able to feel the emotions that were about to erupt from the characters.

"Is this the feeling of power?" Gu Lu murmured to himself.

As a brief introduction, Tatiana is a romantic girl who loves to read romantic novels and is a fan of books. Therefore, she has no resistance to Onegin, a celebrity who comes to St. Petersburg to relax - her confession is rejected by Onegin.

“Wow, wow, wow——” Gu Lu also stood up and applauded.

Because it is a team from the Petrovsky Theater who came to China for cultural exchange, it is different from ordinary performances.

It wasn't the actors' multiple bows (the exact number depended on the audience's calls), but rather it was the Russian Ambassador to China Alexei who took the stage, probably when the audience's applause had slowed down a little.

"Thank you very much for coming to watch this performance." Alexi spoke eloquently, with Chinese translation on the scene.

The audience invited this time, the first few rows are basically the elites of China, such as the editor-in-chief of a certain journal, or a famous curator, and a famous dancer. The back few rows are filled with outstanding students from various universities.

"I remember that it (Eugene Onegin) was first performed at the Moscow Maly Theater in 1879 under the direction of Mr. Rubinstein. More than a hundred years have passed. I swear to God, I am very happy to see that the charm of Eugene Onegin still exists. It is still a typical work of lyric opera."

Wow - the applause from below became even louder.

Then, Alexei explained the background of the opera, trying to show the culture of the bear as much as possible. How should I put it? I don't know who wrote the script, but the explanation was a bit boring. If it wasn't for the current occasion, it would definitely not have won so much applause.

The students who came later all became distracted.

Fortunately, after more than ten minutes, Alexei's explanation ended.

Entering a brief thank you session, "Once again, we also welcome Mr. Peng Jia, Mr. Liao Wangyuan, Ms. Dilinar Abula and Mr. Gu Lu to be here."

Four names were mentioned, two of whom were Chinese officials and one was a dancer.

The remaining Gu Lu is very conspicuous.

“Want to wave?” Gu Lu looked at the people in the same row. When the people on the stage mentioned them, they immediately waved or stood up to signal. So did he need it?

Gu Lu decided to follow suit and stand up as well.

Then the leading actors of the opera came on stage and shared their experiences. One opera singer practiced two sentences in Chinese, "Hello everyone, I am xx", which also made the atmosphere lively.

The leading actors Galina and Varvara, as the leading male and female actors of the Bolshoi Petrovsky Theatre, are worthy of being called artists.

Even so, the two cooperated very well in the final question-and-answer session, which was conducted by students in the back row.

The activity was good overall. At least Maozi put in a lot of effort, which was better than the last time he invited Gu Lu to watch the event.

This comparison does not involve anything else, it is simply about the pros and cons of the event organization.

Finally, the artists went to a banquet at the "White Hat (Russian Embassy)", and Gu Lu was invited.

"Who is this young man?" Galina asked in a low voice from behind.

The two middle-aged men in front were obviously from the Chinese government based on their aura, and the lady’s figure and posture also indicated that she was a “colleague”. The remaining one, Gu Lu, who was too young, attracted the attention of everyone in the troupe.

"The Virgin Mary told me that he is not a simple person." After thinking for a while, Varvara responded cautiously.

Isn't this nonsense? Alexei's attitude clearly showed that he cared too much about the young man.

Later at the table, Varvara and the others realized that this young man was a writer with worldwide fame.

"Mr. Gu Lu is a foreign writer who truly understands the Bear Country." Alexei said this at last.

I have to say, the filter is too deep. Alexei is a fan of Tolstoy's books, so he directly equates understanding Tolstoy with understanding the Russian bear country.

Galina and Varvara couldn't quite understand it, but anyway, there was no harm in making friends.

"There has always been a lot of cultural exchanges between China and the Bear Country. I remember that there was a Chinese dancer in our theater who was very outstanding." Galina found a common topic.
