1980 My Literary Era

Chapter 30 Foreign Student Exchange Dialogue
The director, Xu Gang, never expected that one day he would be blocked in the office by the students. Since the establishment of the Institute, such a bad thing has never happened.

"Okay, okay, be quiet, let's talk one by one."

The classmates expressed their appeals in one go, and Xu Gang's office was full of people's voices. He could only press his hands down and shout loudly.

After a while, everyone calmed down and recommended Jiang Zilong to come out and put forward everyone's demands.

But when he listened to everyone's demands, he felt dumbfounded.

When students actively request to extend the study time, it may happen in the early 80s after the buzzing.

"Okay, I understand, and I also understand everyone's thirst for knowledge. How about this, let's discuss it with some leaders in our office.

You have to understand that this matter is not something we can decide on our own.Our office strives to discuss a result as soon as possible, and then report it to the higher authorities. "

Xu Gang wasn't angry because the students blocked the door recklessly. The institute loved the first batch of students after the institute's restoration.

He understands better why everyone does this, and also to be able to learn better.

The practitioners left Xu Gang's office after he made his statement. They came to make appeals, not to make trouble.

The action in the institute was fast and did not disappoint the students.

The director, Xu Gang, first held a meeting to unify his opinions with the comrades in the institute, and then reported the matter to the directly subordinate leading department - the Cultural Association.

After discussion in the shoe making group D meeting, the trainees agreed to extend the training time.

At the same time, Xu Gang, the director of the school, did not forget to take this opportunity to propose to continue to hold a minority literature creation class, as well as an editorial review class.

After further discussions, the two school applications proposed by Xu Gang were also approved, which became the sixth and seventh phases of the Wenjiao Institute.

So, Jiang is still old and spicy. The students in the fifth period strive for benefits for themselves, but they don't know that the leaders in the institute not only fulfill their needs, but also achieve their own goals.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, the students in the institute did not know what happened in the group D meeting of the Cultural Association. When they learned from the leaders of the institute that the original three-month training period had been extended to half a year, everyone rejoiced.

This not only proves that their solidarity is effective, but also proves that the Association and the Institute of Arts and Sciences value everyone, and that they can continue to study in such a rare environment as the Institute of Arts and Culture.

The next day was Saturday, and the program arranged for the students this weekend was an exchange and dialogue meeting with foreign students.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, the students boarded the No. 18 bus, led by several teachers.

This time everyone is going to Yenching University.

Yenching University is one of the top institutions of higher learning in China, and it is also a major provider of foreign students in domestic universities.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the number of foreign students at Yenching University was relatively small. These students mainly studied Chinese language and history, and they were basically from socialist countries.

In the 60s, the international and domestic situation changed suddenly, and the work of accepting foreign students in our country was interrupted.In the next few years, Yenching University's recruitment of international students in China also temporarily stopped.

After 1972, with the easing of my country's diplomatic environment, the recruitment of international students was restarted, and the scale was gradually expanded, and the types and countries of students were continuously enriched.

In the 80s, there were nearly 200 foreign students at Yenching University.There are not only students from socialist countries, but also students from developed countries in the diplomatic honeymoon period such as the United States, Germany, the Federal Republic of Germany and France.

The exchange meeting was held in a lecture theater at Yenching University. The venue was very simple, similar to most activities in this era. The theme of today's event was written on the blackboard, with a banner hanging above it, and tea on the table. and melons and fruits.

There are more than a dozen foreigners who came to exchange today. The students of the Institute of Literature and Culture began to look for foreigners with blonde hair and blue eyes as soon as they entered the classroom. Unfortunately, there were no people with such characteristics in this group of people. There was only one girl from the United States. The standard of blond hair, but the eyes are brown.

Nearly half of the dozen or so people are from East Asian countries, and the remaining half are from Western Europe, Eastern Europe, the United States and other countries.

Many people in the class saw foreigners for the first time, and they whispered excitedly in private.

In order to facilitate everyone's communication, the seats in the venue were interspersed, and students and foreign students were mixed together. Yenching University also specially provided two English translators.

Sitting next to Lin Weimin was a cute girl from Nihong named Little Black Yoko.

Little Hei Yangzi's Chinese is stumbling, and English is a little better than Chinese. When the teachers of Yenching University and the Institute of Literature were still going through the process on the podium, Lin Weimin had figured out the identity of Little Hei Yangzi.

She is 24 years old and studied at Yokohama City University before studying in China.

In September 1972, Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka visited China, and the governments of the two countries issued a joint statement to normalize diplomatic relations. In 9, the two countries officially decided to exchange students.In this year, 1979 Chinese students were sent to Japan by the government, and the number has been increasing rapidly every year since then, reaching 140 in 1988.

At this time, the number of international students sent by Mr. Ni Hong to China is much smaller. Take Little Black Yoko and his group as an example, there are only 40 students.

There are probably several reasons why these international students choose to come to China.

One is that it is a political family itself. Now that the diplomatic relations between the two countries have been normalized, studying in China is a necessary investment.

The second is to be optimistic about the future development of China, hoping to turn my experience of studying abroad into future wealth.

The third is an opportunist like Little Black Yoko. Her family is poor, and she went to college with a loan.

She originally wanted to find a good job after graduating from university and quickly repay the loan. Little Black Yoko is a girl with goals, and her goals are all well-known domestic companies, such as Panasonic, Sony, and Mitsui.

But Yoko Kuro found sadly that it was not easy to find a satisfactory job with her degree from Yokohama City University. She could not compete with those who graduated from prestigious universities such as Kyoto University and Tokyo University. those.

Just when she was distressed, Little Black Yoko saw the information about the government's recruitment of foreign students sent by the government, and the country sent by the government was still China.

After a brief hesitation, she still decided to seize this opportunity.Not for anything else, just because the announcement mentioned that students who return after studying abroad on public sponsorship can be given priority to work in the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In China, these two departments are equivalent to the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

It only takes two years to study abroad to work in a ministry with a degree from Yokohama City University, which is a good deal no matter what you think.
