“Promote the spirit of public safety and social harmony
Awarded to:
Ronald Lee"
"Is this what the commander-in-chief awarded you?" Aunt Karen touched the wooden gilded certificate that Ronald brought back, feeling very happy, "Why is it called public safety and social harmony?"
"Because I filmed 'Break Dance' to unite all ethnic groups, and then participated in the publicity activities of the Grand Commander." Ronald pointed to the small words on the certificate and read it to his aunt:
"For your excellent directing work, you have witnessed the unity of the people of all ethnic groups in America and set a good example for young people.
Thank you for investing your pursuit of film art, as well as the creativity, concentration, time and energy shown in it, into the campaign against youth drunk driving..."
"This is a photo of myself and the president and his wife during the awards ceremony." Ronald took out another photo taken by the White House reporter.
Aunt Karen took the photo and became even more excited. In the photo, Ronald looked like a talented person, standing with the chief executive and his wife, with both hands holding one side of the certificate.
"You have to put one here with me." Aunt Karen looked at the photo again and again.
"This is for you. I specifically asked them to develop two copies." Ronald sent several photos to his aunt. After the interview was completed, Ronald did not return to Los Angeles with the others.
When I arrived in New York, I met my aunt and shared my happiness.
"I'm really proud of you, Ronnie." Aunt Karen patted Ronald's hand, very pleased, "Wait a minute, I have something important to give to you."
As she spoke, her aunt went to the bedroom, took out a small wooden box from the cupboard, and handed it to Ronald.
"This is a relic left by your parents. Originally, my sister said that she would give it to you after you graduate from college. Now you have been commended by the commander-in-chief. This is an honor that many college graduates do not get. I think you
What you have done has exceeded your mother's expectations for you, so now it is officially handed over to you."
"My parents' relics?" Ronald was a little confused. He couldn't remember the past things clearly.
"My sister said it's mainly some relics from your father. I haven't opened them and looked at them. Now they belong to you."
Ronald opened the wooden box and inside there were several yellowed black and white photos and a notebook.
"This is this?" Ronald looked at the photos. The top photo was of his father and mother, as well as his aunt and her husband Steve. His father and Steve were comrades in the Marine Corps.
The two married two sisters from the Parker family respectively.
Then there was a black and white photo, which showed an American soldier who looked a bit like himself and his father. He was posing with a propeller fighter. There were words on the back, which read 1944, London, Britain, James
·plum.
Ronald counted the time. Could it be that this was his grandfather? It seemed that he had been in the military for generations.
The last photo is older, and the image on it is a bit dim. There is also a young soldier in the photo, and behind him is an ancient biplane. On the back of the photo is 1918, with the words "Paris" and his signature.
It's Gilbert Lee.
Is this my great-grandfather? Why does my family come from a family of pilots? Only my father has not become one.
Ronald opened the notebook again, which contained some family history recorded by his father. It turned out that the Li family was from the New England region in northeastern America.
Great-grandfather Gilbert once had a PhD in electrical engineering from Yale University. After the outbreak of World War I, he joined the Volunteer Air Force. After shooting down two enemy planes over China and saving his own wingman, he was shot down by the Germans and died in the line of duty.
.Leaving only his wife and son in New England.
My grandfather, James, was also a college student at Yale University. After the outbreak of World War II, he joined the Air Force and flew P47 fighter jets. During the escort operation to bomb Germany, he covered his own bombers. He was shot down and disappeared in the Atlantic Ocean.
He was not married, but had a girlfriend in Britain who was pregnant with his posthumous son, Ronald's father, Charles.
When it came to my father's generation, I was sent back to America by my mother's side of the family. Because I was not recognized by the family as a formal member, I didn't go to college or inherit the family tradition and become a pilot. Instead, I joined the Navy.
Team.
Although he changed from a pilot to a fourth-class soldier with his feet in the mud, he also broke the Li family's curse of sacrificing their lives on the battlefield. Finally, he returned home to reunite with his family and raised Ronald. Until he met
Got into a traffic accident...
"It turns out that my ancestors were quite wealthy." Ronald knew that getting a doctorate degree in 1915 was of great value.
He understood how his parents felt about keeping these things and waiting for him to graduate from college before giving them to him. His ancestors were rich and then their family fell into decline. Also in his father's generation, they definitely wanted to graduate from college and find a good job.
Let yourself know the excellent history of your ancestors later.
If you have the chance, you should go to New England and look for it. In previous generations, the Chinese thought that they did not necessarily have to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, but they always had to recognize where their ancestors were.
"Hey, what is this?" Ronald put his father's relics back into the box and touched a metal object in his hand.
When I took it out, I found it was an old-fashioned brass key.
"Is this the key to my parents' home in New England that was confiscated and auctioned by the bank?" Ronald lost the point and threw the key back into the box.
"Aunt, I'd better keep this relic with you. I'm afraid it will be lost after taking it away." Ronald, his aunt and Donna had a reunion dinner and then went to rest.
The next day, Ronald went out to an apartment in lower Manhattan and rang the doorbell.
"Ronnie", Brooke Shields walked out happily. She had just finished her final exam at Princeton, successfully passed it, and returned to her old house in New York to meet Ronald.
"Let's go, we'll be spotted by reporters again later." Brooke put on her sunglasses and handed the two large suitcases to Ronald.
Ronald put the suitcase into Brooke's Mercedes-Benz, and the driver Dick stepped on the accelerator and drove to JFK Airport.
This time Brooke Shields received an invitation from the organizing committee to attend the opening ceremony of the Los Angeles Olympic Games. Ronald happened to be going back as well, so the two made an appointment to go together.
"How do you plan your summer vacation? Brooke?"
"I accepted a TV movie and went to the Bahamas to film." Brooke took out a map and said, "Just here..."
"TV movie?" Ronald felt that Brooke was devaluing herself by accepting such a movie. "If you want to make a movie, why don't you tell me? There are many studios in Hollywood waiting in line for you to make it."
Although Brooke Shields has taken a break from acting for a year and went to college, her popularity is still very high. As long as she is out and wants to make a movie, many producers will be willing to take a chance.
"I just did it for fun. I used to travel with my mother every year. After I went to college, she and I hadn't been together for a long time, so I wanted to make a movie and travel at the same time. It happened that the movie was shot in the Bahamas.
"
Ronald thought, Brooke was treating filming as a vacation. It seems that she really will not return to the film and television industry after graduating from college?
The two of them avoided the gossip reporters who were waiting at the airport, entered the terminal separately, and finally met again on the plane.
"My experience is that you must wear an eye mask when taking a long-distance flight, otherwise you will be very tired when you arrive." Poji took out a pair of pink eye masks and put them on as soon as she sat down.
When Ronald saw Brooke lying back comfortably, he was about to go to sleep. He stretched out his hand to play with her little finger.
"Hehehe..." Bo Ji was finally teased and laughed, and the two of them clasped their hands and leaned together.
Finally arriving at the Los Angeles Airport, Brooke Shields' face was flushed. She went to the dressing room to change clothes and touch up her makeup.
Ronald went to the baggage carousel to wait for his luggage.
"Ronald!"
Ronald looked back and saw the great director Steven Spielberg on the luggage carousel next to him, also waiting for his luggage.
"Steven, are you back in Los Angeles too?"
"I flew over from the Purple set, and the Olympic organizing committee invited me to attend the opening ceremony." Steven was clean-shaven and smiled uncharacteristically sweetly.
"Let me show you a picture of my son Max," Spielberg said, taking out a picture from his wallet. It showed him, his girlfriend Amy Irving, and a newborn baby."
"Oh, what a beautiful boy. Congratulations, Steven."
"Thank you. I plan to get married to Amy at the end of the year. You must come when you can."
"I will definitely go." Ronald was very curious. This Amy Irving didn't seem to be the most outstanding among the actors. She didn't know how she got tied up with the number one commercial film director in Hollywood.
"Ronnie", Brooke Shields changed her clothes and jumped over. She was wearing a white T-shirt, the edges of her jeans were rolled up, revealing a section of her white legs, and she wore a black hat with white trim on her head.
The straw hats, the styles are well mixed and matched.
"Brooke, this is director Spielberg, and he also wants to attend the opening ceremony."
"Hello, Brooke." Steven looked at Ronald and Brooke, "Let's go out together."
"Okay", Bo Ji graciously agreed.
Ronald nodded to Spielberg. With his cover, the two of them didn't have to go out separately to avoid the doggy photographers.
Ronald and Brooke went to the Marriott Hotel where she was staying, which was closer to the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium where the opening ceremony was held.
After the two had a romantic relationship, Ronald hugged Brooke and suddenly heard a growl in his stomach.
Ronald rubbed his stomach, "I'm a little hungry. Are you hungry? I'm going to buy some burgers."
"Well..." Brooke Shields nodded, threw the pillow over, covered herself, and quickly put on a T-shirt.
Ronald put on his pants, ran to the McDonald's downstairs, and bought two Big Macs. The new Olympic promotion was written on the window: "America gets a gold medal, a free hamburger, a silver medal, and a free bag of potatoes."
bar, bronze medal, and a free cup of Coke."
Although it hasn't started yet, the atmosphere of the Olympic Games is already very strong, and even the waiters are wearing hats with the five-ring logo.
Ronald took the Big Mac, thought about it, and bought two bottles of energy drink Gatorade from the 71 convenience store nearby. They also sponsored the construction of swimming pools for the Olympic Games. In order to save money during this Olympics,
Most of the venues are pre-existing ones, and new ones also have sponsors.
Despite the collective boycott of the Eastern camp, a record-breaking 140 countries were invited to participate in this Olympic Games. Ronald couldn't help but look forward to tomorrow's opening ceremony, where he could also see the teams from his motherland.
