Chapter 782 Columbia University
…
After nearly half an hour, Liu Dong looked left and right. After finally calming down, he did not go back to the antique market. Instead, he took the Tsar Egg to the Mustard Seed Space and drove to Columbia University in upper Manhattan.
For this city that has produced five founding fathers of the United States, nine U.S. Supreme Court justices, 20 living billionaires, 28 Oscar winners, 34 heads of state, and 45 Olympic champions.
, one hundred and one Nobel Prize winners, one of the top three ancient schools in the United States along with Harvard University and the University of Chicago, Liu Dong has also been famous for a long time!
And his best friend Wang Hua, who slept with him in high school, was studying abroad in Colombia's law department!
In addition to attending the Christie's autumn auction this time in New York, what Liu Dong wanted to do most was to visit his brother.
Walking into this world-famous school established in 1754 in accordance with the "King's Charter" issued by King George II of England, the first thing Liu Dong felt was a strong historical atmosphere. Everywhere he looked, it was built in
Ancient buildings from various eras are mixed with ancient trees that have grown for unknown ages.
Walking through the quiet campus, looking at the male and female students holding books, chatting and laughing with each other, and passing by from time to time, Liu Dong deeply felt the ivory tower atmosphere that he once yearned for so much!
Pure, rich, and intoxicating!
"Oh, it's a pity that I don't have a chance to go to university!"
After sighing with regret in his heart, Liu Dong took out his mobile phone!
The campus of Columbia University is so big that he, a stranger here for the first time, couldn't find where Wang Hua was. After all, it was only because of the convenience of his mobile phone.
"Liu Dong?"
"It's me? How about it, Huazi? Are you used to staying in the United States of America?" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Hey. What are you used to? You don't know. This Western food is terrible. I lost ten pounds in just one month after I came here!"
"Haha, I remember when we got together, didn't you say you liked Western food?"
"It was then. This is now. Of course it's okay to eat a meal or two once in a while, but if you eat it for a long time, oh, I'm going to have stomach problems!"
Listening to the complaints of his good friend, Liu Dong smiled and said: "Well, since you are in such pain, it is not easy for brothers to watch. Come out. I will be at the gate of your school and walk around your brother's school with me."
, I’ll treat you to a big dinner tonight!”
"What?"
The sudden loud sound made Liu Dong frown. He quickly took the phone away, pressed his ears, and then scolded: "Hua Zi, are you seeking death? It was so loud suddenly that it almost deafened my ears!"
"
It's a pity that Wang Hua's current concern is not at all about whether Liu Dong's ears are deaf.
"Xiaodong, you said you are in New York now, in front of our school?"
"Well, I'm in New York, at your school, but not at the entrance. But here, hey. I don't know where this place is, but there is a building like a Greek temple in front of me!" Liu
Dong looked around and said.
"Okay. I know where you are! I'm going to find you right now. Don't move!"
"Hey, you...!"
Before Liu Dong finished speaking, a blind tone of "beep" came from the phone!
"You are no longer young, but you still can't change your short temper!"
Shaking his head, Liu Dong put away his phone and sat down on the seat next to him.
After waiting for about seven or eight minutes, Liu Dong saw Wang Hua, wearing a white shirt, rushing over on a half-new bicycle.
"here……!"
Liu Dong stood up and waved, and soon Wang Hua looked happy. After hurried over, he pulled the brake and the bicycle stopped in front of him with a creak.
"Xiaodong, I didn't expect you to be here. I thought you were lying to me!" Wang Hua threw the car aside and strode up with a joyful expression and gave Liu Dong a hug.
"Haha, I never lie to others, you should know this!"
"I know, I know! But when did you come to New York?" Wang Hua asked after letting go of Liu Dong.
"I just came here a few days ago, and I happened to have some things to do! Now that the things are done, I plan to take time to see you, an old classmate, before I leave! ... Your kid is also a returnee now. Tell me, what is it like to be a turtle?
How does it feel?" After patting Wang Hua on the shoulder, Liu Dong smiled.
"Hey, what do you think? You're still in school, but it's just a change of environment! ...Oh, by the way, Xiaodong, come with me!"
Wang Hua's face changed, and he suddenly remembered something. He came up and grabbed Liu Dong's arm, and went to help his bicycle.
"Hey, why are you so impatient? I've just arrived. You won't just welcome me like this, will you?" Liu Dong said quickly.
"I can't explain it to you right now, but you'll know when we get there!... Come on, sit in the back, we don't have much time!"
Seeing that Wang Hua might be really anxious, Liu Dong didn't know the specific reason, but he still said quickly: "I'd better ride the bike, otherwise it will be too slow for you to take me!"
"Okay, come here and I'll give you directions!"
Wang Hua, who knew Liu Dong well, immediately gave up his seat and got into the back seat of the car.
"Sit tight, let's go!"
With Liu Dong's strength, even if he is carrying a living person weighing 70 to 80 kilograms, he can pedal the bicycle very fast. If the speed is not too fast, which is a bit shocking, Liu Dong can pedal the bicycle as fast as a motorcycle.
!
"Hey, Hua Zi, where do you want me to go with you in such a hurry?"
Taking advantage of some free time, Liu Dong asked quickly.
"In the gymnasium of our school, today the foreigners and kiddos from the Columbia Judo Club, and the Korean stickmen from the Taekwondo Club challenged our martial arts club! We don't have enough manpower, and it just so happens that you are here to help us control the place, and by the way, take care of the unruly ones.
Knowing that the sky is high and the earth is high, the devils and sticks who slander our Chinese Kung Fu!" Wang Hua said loudly.
Being a high school classmate with Liu Dong, he naturally knew that his good brother had kung fu skills. When they were bullied by gangsters outside school, Liu Dong basically stood up for them.
"I'm here to see you emotionally. I haven't reaped the benefits, so I have to fight for you first?"
"Hey, good brother! I'm in the wrong this time. When it's all over, I'll treat you to a big dinner! Hey, turn left and go around the square and you'll be there!"
Under Wang Hua's guidance, Liu Dong parked his bicycle at the door of the Columbia University Gymnasium, then followed Wang Hua up the steps, pushed open the pop-up door, entered a compartment, and then opened the door on the left side of the compartment.
The huge noise rushed directly into my ears!
At this moment, in the stadium, which is about the size of four basketball courts, in addition to the gates on the front and rear sides, the stepped seats on the left and right sides are already filled with people watching the excitement.
A layer of soft cushions has been laid on the solid wood floor in the center of the venue. Surrounding this layer of soft cushions, the crowd sitting on the edge of the venue is divided into three waves. People practicing taekwondo and judo are easy to recognize. They are all dressed in white.
Similar to Xiaofu, the one with the big pancake face is a Korean stickman, and the one with the same height as a three-inch boy is undoubtedly a little Japanese.
And the one wearing a long black double-breasted gown with the Chinese character ‘武’ embroidered on the back must be the martial arts club that Wang Hua mentioned!
However, there are not only Chinese in this martial arts club, but also Chinese, white and black men. However, compared to Taekwondo and Judo, the number of white men and black men is still smaller.
This also shows the influence of the three fighting techniques abroad.
In fact, Chinese Kung Fu’s current achievements abroad are thanks to Bruce Lee. If he hadn’t spread Jeet Kune Do through movies, there would not have been so many practitioners of Chinese Kung Fu abroad!
"Huh, luckily we arrived in time and haven't started yet!" Wang Hua breathed a sigh of relief after noticing the situation in the field.
"Come on, Xiaodong!"
With that said, Wang Hua pulled Liu Dong, and the two of them ran towards the place where the martial arts club was.
"Brother Hua, you are here, the president is looking for you!"
Just as the two of them were approaching, a young man who saw Wang Hua quickly came up to him and said.
"I know, Dechao, please take care of my brother first, and I'll go find the president!... Xiaodong, wait here now, I'll be back in a minute!" Wang Hua quickly squeezed in after comforting Liu Dong.
of people.
"Brother, you are Brother Hua's friend. Why haven't I seen you at Columbia University before?" Mao Dechao came over and looked Liu Dong up and down, and asked suspiciously.
Generally, Chinese students studying at Columbia hold a freshman party every year to welcome new students from China, so they all know each other, and even if they don't know each other, they all have impressions, but Liu Dong was obviously too unfamiliar to Mao Dechao.
"I'm not a student at Columbia University. This time I came here because I was captured by that guy Wang Hua!"
In a foreign country where he was unfamiliar with his life, Liu Dong still felt quite friendly when he heard the native language and saw his compatriots. Although they did not know each other, the same language and the same skin color gave the two people a natural feeling of closeness.
.
"You also know Kung Fu?"
After Mao Dechao looked Liu Dong up and down, looking at his tall and strong appearance, his eyes lit up and he said happily.
"I know a little bit!" Liu Dong nodded.
"Great! Hey, buddy, what kind of kung fu do you know, Jeet Kune Do or Wing Chun?"
Also because of Bruce Lee's relationship, these two Kung Fu are the most popular Chinese martial arts among all Chinese Kung Fu except Tai Chi.
"No, I have practiced a little bit of Bajiquan and Mantis Quan!"
“I’ve never heard of Bajiquan or Mantis Fist!”
Seeing the other party thinking hard, Liu Dong couldn't help but frowned. He had never heard of the two famous boxing techniques. It seemed that this guy had just joined the martial arts club!
