Principal Wu asked me: "Did you live on this floor before? Which room was it?"
I smiled and answered him: "Three zero seven."
He immediately took us to the door of Room 307. The door was open. He knocked on the door and greeted the students inside with a smile, "Hello, classmates."
Of course the students knew him, and they immediately became excited and stood up to greet him and the school leaders.
Secretary Wu entered the dormitory and said to them: "Students, let me introduce to you one of your senior brothers. He also lived in this dormitory before."
Immediately, he pointed at me, "This is our school's honorary professor, master's tutor, and mayor of the Shangjiang Municipal People's Government. Your senior brother Feng Xiao."
His introduction made me extremely excited, but I hid this excitement in my heart and immediately greeted them with a smile, "Hello, classmates, hello, junior fellow students."
At this moment, I was really excited because I saw the reflection of myself in their faces.
The students in the dormitory suddenly became a little restrained, but a few of them still greeted me, "Hello, Mayor Feng."
They didn't call me "teacher" or "senior brother", and I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart: like most Chinese, they value official positions more seriously.
We briefly chatted for a few words and then left. At this time, I realized that I was actually very vain in my heart, and Secretary Wu's arrangement today was entirely to satisfy my vanity.
Of course, he had good intentions.
But today I am really excited. Secretary Wu’s arrangement today makes me truly feel proud of returning home in glory.
In fact, it’s not surprising that I feel this way. Since ancient times, China has had the saying of returning to one’s hometown after falling leaves, and returning home in rich clothes. Especially after people reach a certain age, this feeling will become stronger. They all want to return to their hometown to shine after achieving certain achievements, and there is a kind of love and vanity.
This means that people have a psychological need to be respected and envied in their hearts. This is actually understandable. After all, people live for their face and face.
Of course, I know why Secretary Wu is so kind to me. In addition to the friendship between us, he should value my background more. Also, I played a role in him being able to reach this point. This can be regarded as
His repayment to me, including his promise to make Shangjiang People's Hospital a medical university teaching hospital, is actually for this reason. In the final analysis, it is a manifestation of private use of public power.
The problem is, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using public power for private purposes, because I need him to do it. Besides, situations like this are very common now, and I’m not doing it for personal purposes.
At noon, the Medical University was treating guests to dinner, and Secretary Wu specially called the director of the Graduate Studies Office. Of course I knew what he was calling him for, and then I said to Secretary Wu: "Then I'll call the organ and piano too."
let's eat together?"
Of course he wouldn't object.
Guanqin arrived soon, and she greeted the school leaders and the group of people I brought with her generously. But at this time, I noticed that there was something strange in the way Mayor Zhu looked at me.
I didn't explain anything to her because I didn't think it was necessary.
Before eating, I had a brief exchange with the director of the Graduate Studies Office. He said: "Mayor Feng, don't worry, we will handle your matter as soon as possible. We will send someone to collect the relevant information at that time.
Come to your place and ask you to sign."
Guan Qin heard this and said, "Just leave it to me when the time comes. I'll take it to Mayor Feng for his signature."
She suddenly changed her address to me today. I felt a little strange, so I immediately looked at her. She smiled and said to me, "You are the mayor, aren't you?"
I understood somewhat: after all, the situation today is different. There are my subordinates here, so she called me like this.
I drank a lot of wine at noon, which was necessary and I couldn't refuse.
When we left, I found Mayor Zhu looking at me with the same look as before. I still pretended not to see it, but her look in her eyes suddenly reminded me of Zhu Danlai: I have to contact her right away.
Already.
I haven't contacted Zhu Dan for a long time recently, and from our last phone call, I also felt that she was dissatisfied with me. Although I have no idea of marrying her, I already have some feelings for her.
Of course I know it in my heart. And she must also have feelings for me. This is not because I knew it after hearing what she said to me, but because I completely felt it. So, I feel very guilty and very sad.
I blame myself because I feel that I have let down her feelings for me.
After lunch, I asked the driver to take me home, and then told him to pick me up at home tomorrow. While I was in the car, I sent Zhu Dan a text message: I want to see you. Right away.
As a result, she called me after I got home, "I was taking a nap just now. Where are you?"
I asked her hurriedly: "I just went home. I'll be right over."
She said: "I was at work, lying on my desk and fell asleep. Then, come here, I'll be back right away."
I seemed to understand a little bit, "Do you have anything else to do? Record a show?"
She said: "I'll go talk to the producer right away and we can record again tomorrow. It's okay, it's still early for this episode to be broadcast."
Her words made me hesitate, "It won't affect your work, right?"
She said: "It's okay. Laugh, you seem to be drunk, right? I heard your voice is a little unclear?"
I replied: "Yeah. I had a drink with the leaders of the Medical University at noon, and I drank a little too much."
She said: "Then don't drive. Come over here and I'll help you take a shower."
My heart suddenly became excited, "Okay, I'll take a taxi over right away."
So I hurried out, then went to the street and hailed a taxi.
On the way to Zhu Dan's residence, I was very excited, and excitement would make everything in front of me beautiful.
The cars driving on the road in front of us refract the dazzling sunlight from time to time, like flowing colorful crystals. The buildings facing the street are even more colorful and have different styles, some are solemn and elegant, some are simple and ordinary;
They are luxurious and extravagant, but some of them look messy and dilapidated. Especially those buildings that have not yet been opened to the public area. They are of various sizes, shapes and colors, and their planning and layout look disorganized when viewed from a high place. Obviously, this is because of this
The amount of demolition in an area is too large for developers to dare to take action easily.
The provincial capital has put a lot of effort into planning in recent years. Many trees have been planted and many green belts have been designated. The big trees next to the sidewalk in front of me are piercing into the sky and they look very clean.
; There are large clusters of golden stamens hanging from the armpits of the big iron tree in the green belt not far away, like the necklace lily worn on the chest of a beautiful girl; there is also an unknown plant with huge buds on the top.
The tree crown has no branches from top to bottom, like the canopy used by emperors in ancient times for parades, which is very distinctive. These three tall plants are the main species of street trees in our city. At a glance, from near to far, the road in front of you
It turned into a long green channel.
In fact, all cities are similar in their development. Many places became microcosms wrapped in steel and concrete at the beginning. It is difficult to find the unique buildings left by the skilled craftsmen of the past. Among these seemingly majestic and tall buildings,
, the civilization and backwardness of cities are always derived from each other.
Every time we arrive in a city, the first thing we see is the wide airport expressway. When we enter the city, we see towering modern buildings. Without exception, there are traffic jams, turbulent flows of people, and crowds of people. But I can't really see its charm.
To. In my opinion, whether you visit the city's specialty bars or go to their modern cafes, you can only see the prosperity and leisure that the economy has brought to the city, but you cannot understand its essence.
It's like looking at a person. You only look at his clothes and the expensive jewelry on his neck and hands, but you can't see his connotation and upbringing. You can only slowly understand him through his speech and behavior.
The same is true for understanding a city. We cannot look at its appearance, but look at its essence from the subtle things.
I have always felt that no matter which city I go to, I have to see its essence, and the essence of a city is based on culture. When Marco Polo was 17 years old, he followed his father and uncle through the Middle East, which lasted more than four years.
I went to China and traveled in China for 17 years. After returning to China, I wrote a book called "Marco Polo's Travels", which described China's folk culture and even its rich products in detail. Otherwise, it would not have attracted the yearning of countless Westerners.
Eyesight. Many world-famous scenic spots and historic sites in history are indispensable for the contribution of literati and poets in their poems and songs. Obviously literati play an immeasurable role in the prosperity of a place. To understand the essence of a city, you must look at its
Culture, in addition to looking at the poems left by literati that have been sung through the ages, to get a glimpse of the essence of a city. To look at its culture, in addition to looking at the poems that literati have left behind that have been sung through the ages, we must also look at the recuperation and recuperation of the local people here. Only
Only by truly understanding it can we closely grasp the pulse of the city.
In fact, I prefer the former Jiangnan Provincial City because there are many ancient buildings here, and those ancient buildings carry many things of traditional culture. Now, the city has been completely modernized, and many of the ancient buildings have disappeared.
.This is a regrettable thing.
I will never allow Shangjiang to become like this. Now that I am the mayor, I am more able to speak out on urban construction issues. The soul of a city is culture. If I am responsible for the disappearance of the local culture that I preside over,
, this will make me uneasy for the rest of my life. (To be continued)
