Instead of sitting at a large round table for the graduates' dinner, the long tables were spliced together to form two rows of large long tables nearly ten meters long.
The students sat four rows across the table, and Zhou Hexuan was also placed among them. Although it was not as luxurious as big fish and meat, the dishes were quite rich and tasted very good. The chef of the Youth Association cooked it.
As soon as Zhou Hexuan picked up the chopsticks, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Students, all look over here and smile!"
Zhou Hexuan immediately turned his head and looked over, but it was young Qian Xuesen who was holding a camera and appeared as a guest photographer. Well, Qian Xuesen's photography skills are also good, and there are many works he took in the graduation commemorative issue.
As for the photos Qian Xuesen took of eating at this time, they are also useful and must be included.
The graduation ceremony of Shanghai Jiao Tong University lasts for three days in total. Various activities are arranged every day, such as baseball games, tennis games, volleyball games, alumni parties, etc. And during these three days, the school also opens laboratories and gymnasiums for free.
, libraries and other places, everyone can have fun as they want. Those who don’t like to play can still spend three days reading in the library.
All the activities held in these three days were organized by the students themselves, and they also relied on advertising sponsorship to solve the cost problem.
After Qian Xuesen finished taking the photo, principal Li Zhaohuan immediately shouted: "Xuesen, sit over here!"
Qian Xuesen put down the camera in his hand, walked over with a smile and said: "Hello principal, hello Mr. Zhou."
With a somewhat showy tone, Li Zhaohuan smiled and said to Zhou Hexuan: "Mr. Zhou, let me introduce it to you. The people we sit here are all the best graduates of Jiaotong University this year. They were also elected to the Chinese Fei Tao Fei Honor.
Members of the society. This is Qian Xuesen, this is Zhang Guangdou, this is Anding Yi, this is Xu Renshou, this is Yuan Xiang, this is Bao Chengzuo, this is Zhuang Huai, and this is Ni Wenjie."
The Fei Tao Fei Honor Society was one of the most important academic groups during the Republic of China. It was founded by J.E., an American professor who was the predecessor of Peiyang University and Tianjin University. It has branches in major universities across the country. Every year, only graduates with excellent academic performance are awarded
A new member of the Phi Tao Phi Honor Society can be elected only with the approval of the vote of all members, even if one vote is missing.
In the past ten years or so, only 2 to 3 graduates of Shanghai Jiao Tong University have been elected to this society every year. But this year's graduates are obviously particularly outstanding, and eight were selected in one breath.
Among these eight people, there is no need to mention Qian Xuesen. Everyone should know his deeds, and the other seven people also have particularly outstanding ones.
For example, Zhang Guangdou, a future water conservancy and hydropower engineering expert, one of the pioneers of water conservancy and hydropower in China, served as vice president of Tsinghua University after the founding of New China, and was an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
Zhang Guangdou, with his sleek and sleek hair, handsome and handsome, is sitting next to Qian Xuesen. They have both obtained the qualifications to study in the United States at Tsinghua University's public expense, and they will go to the United States together in the fall.
The two of them lowered their heads and whispered, and pointed at Zhou Hexuan quietly from time to time, as if they were talking about topics related to Zhou Hexuan.
Although the other people are not that famous, except for those who died young, they will either enter politics or engage in scientific research in the future. For example, Xu Renshou next to Zhang Guangdou is not well-known in the mainland, but he will serve as "Taiwan Railway Management" in the future.
"Director" is equivalent to the Minister of Railways.
Graduates of Shanghai Jiao Tong University during the Republic of China were really valuable.
There was no wine at the graduation dinner, so Zhou Hexuan smiled and raised his glass: "Dear heroes, I would like to drink water instead of wine and give you a toast! I wish you all a bright future, and I also wish China prosperity!"
"cheers!"
The students poured water one after another, and some even scooped the soup into bowls and drank it as wine.
Qian Xuesen suddenly stood up, got a guitar from nowhere, and said, "Mr. Zhou, I really like the song you composed. I am about to graduate today, so I will sing a song called Orchid Grass to cheer everyone up."
Well, Qian Xuesen not only participated in the school's brass band, but was also a well-known brass player.
"I came from the mountains and brought orchid grass. I planted it in the small garden, hoping that the flowers will bloom early..." Qian Xuesen sang softly while playing the guitar, while other students sang along in time.
At this time, the people sitting in front of Zhou Hexuan for dinner were not the scientists printed in the books, but the lively young people. Not only did they have excellent academic performance, but they were also versatile. Just from these students, you can feel the future of China.
Great potential.
This century-old plan is based on education. This is not just talk.
When Qian Xuesen finished singing the song, Xu Renshou suddenly encouraged: "Mr. Zhou, please sing one too!"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhou will sing one too!" Zhang Guangdou immediately agreed, watching the fun was not a big deal.
Principal Li Zhaohuan said with a wicked smile: "Mr. Zhou, it's hard to refuse the kindness of my classmates."
Zhou Hexuan had no choice but to ask Qian Xuesen to borrow the guitar, held it in his arms and said, "Then I will show my shame and sing a song."
"good!"
Although no one has heard the name of the song, in the lively atmosphere, no matter what is sung, they clap their hands first before talking about it.
Zhou Hexuan cleared his throat, strummed the strings and sang a cappella: "Swan geese, in the sky, they line up opposite each other... The sky is vast, where are the geese going, and in my heart is my hometown in the north. Hong geese, return from the north, taking my thoughts with me... Hong geese,
Look to the sky, how far away the sky is. Drink up the wine and fill it up again. I will not return it until I am drunk tonight..."
Yu Peichen and Sun Yongzhen, as Zhou Hexuan's followers, were also sitting at the banquet at this moment.
Sun Yongzhen didn't care how lively the students were. He was eating by himself, glancing around from time to time, always on guard against possible dangers.
Yu Peichen was leaning on the table with her cheek in hand, listening attentively to Zhou Hexuan's singing. This was the first time she saw Zhou Hexuan sing, and it sounded unexpectedly good. Not only that, Zhou Hexuan had a special temperament when he sang.
At this moment, Yu Peichen is not an underground worker, nor is she a secretary. She is completely standing in the perspective of an ordinary woman, appreciating the singing of an outstanding man.
This song is melancholy, ethereal and ethereal, and its style is at least half a century ahead of its time. But it is not rock and roll that is ahead of its time, because this song has some ancient charm, which is more similar to Li Shutong's, and it can be completely adopted by people during the Republic of China period.
Acceptable. In addition, it sings about the feeling of longing, and the students are about to leave, so it is very easy to resonate with everyone.
"Bah bang bang!" The applause was loud.
Li Zhaohuan said with emotion: "Mr. Zhou deserves to be a poet. This is not a song. It is clearly a farewell poem. It's a pity that there is no wine today, otherwise it must be like what the song says. Drink up the wine and then refill it. There will be no more wine tonight.
Don’t stop drunk!”
"Haha, Principal Li made a ridiculous compliment, it's just a humble work." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
Bao Chengzuo, who was also elected to the Fei Tao Fei Honor Society, said: "Mr. Zhou, your song is about the exiled people in the Northeast. Every sentence of your song refers to the grassland. It should be about the semi-occupied Chahar."
?”
"Well... that's right." Zhou Hexuan actually wanted to say: Classmate, you think too much.
