Chapter 174 The President's Father II

Seeing that Bush's father was flipping through the comics, Chen Lin quickly introduced the characteristics of this comic book. The comics incorporate many traditional Chinese Confucian, Taoist, and Buddhist cultures, and there are many Chinese gods and ghosts stories.

After hearing this, Mr. Bush nodded repeatedly and gradually became interested. He could understand what Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are.

Influenced by Bush, the Bush family has been interested in Chinese culture since childhood. Speaking of which, the "love and sorrow" between the Bush family and China was completely established in the past 40 years of interaction. Some people even say that the Bush family is not only well-known.

In addition to the "Western Cowboy Gene", there is also a Chinese complex called "second sequence DNA".

If you are taking a walk in the Beijing Hutong in 1975, you may be happy with a few "foreigners" on bicycles because they can't dodge. You can't help but be a little disgusted by these strange tourists.

: "Where did the 'Flying Fairy from the Sky'? What are you wandering around, wherever you go!" Of course, you don't know that at least two of them will enter the White House in the United States, maybe you will be ripped away by you

The one who saw it was Bush, you won the first prize.

In 1974, the American political arena was being messed up by the "Watergate Incident". Bush, who was determined to stay away from the "right and wrong nest", unexpectedly chose China, which had not yet recovered its relations, to be the director of the China Liaison Office. Later, Bush was in the "

This "wonderful time" is described in "The Legend of China": I just came to China to go out and rode a luxury Chrysler sedan, but I fell in love with a bicycle in less than a month. The kind of people who ride a bicycle to observe the ordinary Chinese people up close

The feeling of life is really cool. Even the strong wind and sandy weather unique to Yanjing cannot stop the enthusiasm for travel.

The next summer, the "double group" of the old Bush couple was expanded into a "bike team" by the three Bush brothers and sisters who came to visit their relatives. They drove slowly across Chang'an Street.

This "Yanjing Summer Story" has become one of the most precious treasures of the Bush family, so that more than 30 years later, Bush and Bush, who came to participate in the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, both said bluntly, "I feel like I'm going home."

”.

A comic book that originally contained Chinese culture evoked the memories of Mr. Bush. He talked about his surname Dazeng and pulled Chen Lin to sit down on the small wooden stool in the yard.

Chen Lin is a loyal listener, mainly because of Mr. Bush's words.

"My trip to China in 1975 was a great experience. It was really great. I still remember how strange people thought I was. People didn't have much contact with the West at that time. Suddenly, they saw an American in

They were surprised by the bikes between them.”

My father talked to Chen Lin about his first Chinese memory.

In addition to the unforgettable bicycle memories, my father cannot give up but also Chinese delicacies. His favorite is Beijing Roast Duck, which is crispy and savored endlessly.

Their family likes to eat the five dishes at the Beijing Hotel: Bei*Beijing Roast Duck, Salt Prawns, Bei*Beijing-style lamb chops, dry-fried shredded beef, and dried roasted green beans. My father jokingly called these five dishes "

Bush Menu”.

Speaking of the joy, Mr. Bush actually started to speak "American Yanjing dialect" and was very interested in reciting a song by Li Bai in his unique American accent.

The moonlight in front of the bed,

It is suspected that it is frost on the ground.

Looking up at the bright moon,

I bow my head and think of my hometown.

Finally, my father joked: "The moon in China is brighter than the moon in the United States!"

"Dad, you are this." Chen Lin changed his words to Dad without realizing it, and he gave a thumbs up.

Dad Bush smiled, and at this time the two little loli came over to interrupt their chat.

"Brother Jason, the comics are so beautiful, but we can't understand some places?" Both little loli were staring at their big royal blue eyes and asked their elder brother Chen Lin.

"Where are you not able to understand? Tell me brother." Chen Lin touched the little girl's blonde hair and said with a smile. He understood that the "Death" comics are very good. For 9 and 10-year-old children, there are some things that cannot be understood.

"This sister of Death is very beautiful. Why is she so powerful?"

"Haha, this sister of Death is an angel sent by God. Of course she is beautiful and powerful."

Chen Lin smiled and used an angel to describe the god of death. The girl surnamed Death in the comics is of course beautiful. Their prototype comes from the two beauties of the company, Lin Zhiling and Fan * Bingbing.

Then Chen Lin explained a few small questions to the two little loli. After getting the answer, the little loli ran away with satisfaction.

"Jason, who is the author of this comic book? It's really interesting." Dad Bush turned on the comic when he heard Chen Lin explain to his child.

"Dad, this comic was created by me and a few friends. I opened a company and the company has a comic studio. This is our first work and has not been launched yet." Chen Lin replied,

By the way, he introduced his career to Mr. Bush and opened a small company in China.

When Mr. Bush heard that it was Chen Lin's work, he suddenly felt that the comic was extraordinary. He admired young talents like Chen Lin. When he heard that the comic was not yet available, he took the initiative to ask if Chen Lin was in the United States.

Is it necessary for him to introduce several publishers to him for the publishing plan?

"Dad, you see, this comic book has English versions. Of course, I am ready to publish it in the United States. It would be great to have your dad help you." Chen Lin was overjoyed. He never expected to give the comic book to his dad and gave it back to him.

There are such unexpected gains.

"Okay, your aunt Laura works in the library and knows many publishers. I'll ask her to introduce several big publishers to you later." Dad Bush nodded and smiled.

Chen Lin was very happy and was about to thank his father, but Yu Yu's voice came over, "Dad, why are you talking about so happy?"

Chen Lin looked back and Yu Yu and Laura brought some fruit salads over.

At this time, Mr. Bush spoke first. He told his wife Laura about Chen Lin's publication of comics in the United States. Laura nodded and agreed after hearing this, saying that she would definitely help with this.

Yu Yu became happy after understanding it. She kissed Dad Bush on the face of Daddy Laura to express her gratitude to Daddy and Mom.

The Bush couple were amused by her kiss.

Next, Yu Yu and Laura also joined the chat topic. The four of them were chatting while eating fruits. As for the two little loli, they seemed to be completely attracted by comic books, and they couldn't even call them, sitting on the grass with relish.

Watch.

During the chat, Laura mentioned the early childhood education program that she worked with Yu Yu a few years ago. This program advocates preschool education for young children aged 3 to 4.

Laura has always been very enthusiastic about this educational charity event.

After hearing this, Chen Lin felt thoughtful. The so-called early childhood education plan simply means kindergartens in big cities in later generations.

Chen Lin also introduced the situation of children's education in China to Laura. In China, children aged 3 to 4 have a more serious lack of education. Especially for the vast majority of rural children, they only count 1-10 before going to school, and they don't know what singing and dancing.

Even though 13 years of preschool education is still a luxury for many rural families, the tuition fees for kindergartens in cities are too expensive to afford.

In addition, he also introduced that China has a large population. In 1998, 48 million were in poverty. Among the 48 million people, 10% of them were children, then 4.8 million children would be out of school and they could not even enjoy basic education.

Stop talking about preschool education.

After listening to Chen Lin's introduction, Laura sighed, which further aroused her determination to do something for the children.

At this time, Yu Yu proposed to set up a foundation to do what she can for out-of-school children in China and the United States. Her idea was approved by the Bush and his wife.

As a husband, of course he had to support his wife's suggestion, and he had to support him with actions. Chen Lin suggested that the couple donate one million US dollars to make the foundation's start-up capital.

Laura was so happy that she heard this.

Laura's mom, don't be anxious to be happy. What else is there to be happy?

When Chen Lin saw the comic book in Bush's father's hand, he had an idea and proposed a comic book called "Sunshine Hope Project" - "Death" is sold in China and the United States. He took out a dollar or equivalent for every time he sold a book.

The exchange rate of RMB is used as a donation from the foundation, specifically to help out-of-school children in China and the United States, so that children can go to school to study.

As soon as he said this proposal, even Mr. Bush applauded and praised him. Laura's mother was naturally very happy.

Laura was moved by Chen Lin's proposal for this "Sunshine Hope Project". She was already planning to offer a powerful publisher, and she was even taking the initiative to help Chen Lin and his wife consider how to promote this comic book.

There is a dollar of donation for every book sold, and one million copies is one million dollars. Isn’t ten million copies a million dollars? Is this a matter to be discussed with Alina and Jason later. (Unfinished
