The students in the square are studying diligently. Most of them are of normal age, but there are also some young people in their twenties or even thirties. Although they are no longer young, they still have dreams. Liu Lang's parents looked at
These people were lost in thought and seemed to be recalling their past.
At this time, a jeep stopped in a corner of the square. The license plate of the car was very different from that of ordinary cars. The license plate of ordinary cars was blue, but this car was black.
"Diplomatic vehicle?"
Liu Lang knew that cars with black license plates were foreign-related vehicles.
The car door opened, and three people got out, two men and one woman. The two men were carrying a camera. They set the camera up and faced the tower in the distance. The other woman, about thirty-two or thirteen years old,
She stood in front of the camera with a microphone.
"Are you ready?"
a cameraman asked the woman.
"OK!"
The woman made a gesture and the camera immediately started.
"This is BCC Channel 5 Rudy Shirley reporting for you in the Chinese capital. As we all know, in February this year Prime Minister Thacher announced in Congress that the return of Hong Kong Island needs to be cautious and should not follow the requirements of Chinese leaders.
Fully accepted, Prime Minister Thacher put forward the British proposal that perhaps Hong Kong Island should be governed in the same way as West Singapore, but the Chinese representative vetoed this proposal.
We have reason to doubt whether China can govern Hong Kong Island well and enable Hong Kong Island to achieve a smooth transition. In our view, China's own internal education problems have not yet been solved. Talent is a big problem. Now China is only one year away from
There is still one month left for the college entrance examination. Many students are studying diligently, but the environment in which they study is
The environment is so bad that you can only study with the help of street lights on the street, and the education you receive in college is also worrying. It is doubtful whether excellent talents can be cultivated in this educational environment. Without a sound talent training mechanism
"Whether this huge and bloated country can manage itself well after more than ten years is a big question..."
As the female host spoke, she pointed the camera at the students sitting on the floor and filmed them, as if to confirm her statement.
The other party spoke in English, and probably not many people in the entire square could understand it, but Liu Lang really listened and didn't miss a word.
Liu Lang's English proficiency in his previous life was also above CET-4. Of course, CET-4 is the level of "can't understand or speak", but at least he has some foundation. In this life, Liu Lang started to learn English by himself when he was at home. Even though this
There were not many English books in that era, but Xinhua Bookstore still had the most common Chinese-English dictionary. He bought one for his father.
With this book, he memorized all the dictionaries in half a year with his strong memory, and he has a good vocabulary. Coupled with Liu Lang's grammar foundation in his previous life, with a short period of practice, Liu Lang is confident that his English proficiency will never be better than that of Liu Lang.
Those English major students were inferior, but now, he heard every word and every word the other party said, and he completely understood it.
"BCC? British BCC radio station?"
Liu Lang thought of this British TV station.
In its previous life, the BCC TV station was well-known in the country for producing excellent documentaries. Many of the documentaries introducing nature were absolutely world-class. Their contributions to natural science were obvious to all, but similarly, this TV station was not as good at reporting on politics.
It is also known as Black China by Chinese people.
In their words, as long as they have anything to do with China, they will spare no effort to criticize it. Products made in China are called inferior goods by them, and Chinese people traveling abroad are said to be of low quality.
Maybe what they say makes sense, but don't forget that everything has two sides. China also has good products and excellent talents, but they can't see these excellent sides at all. They are just black for the sake of being black.
No, these guys are getting dirty here again.
This year is 1983. Liu Lang knew that this period should be the most intense time for China and Britain to negotiate the return of Hong Kong Island. The two sides were at loggerheads over how to govern Hong Kong Island after its return.
From the British perspective, Hong Kong Island implements a so-called "democracy", which is fundamentally different from the way mainland China governs the country. In addition, they have various ulterior motives, so they have been discussing this issue.
Playing tricks in the hope of preventing China from regaining Hong Kong Island on time.
However, the Chinese leaders would not give in, nor could they give in on the issue of sovereignty. In the end, it was Deng Gong who creatively proposed the method of "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong" to solve this problem. In the end, the two sides signed the "Sino-British" Agreement at the end of 1984.
.Joint Statement" ended this debate that lasted for several years.
However, in 1983, this statement had not yet been signed, and these gangsters were here again questioning China's education, with the purpose of gaining an advantage for Britain.
If Liu Lang doesn't understand, forget it, but now, he doesn't want their conspiracy to succeed.
Liu Lang couldn't help but walked towards the group of people.
The camera was shooting at a shirtless young man. The young man was stunned for a moment and couldn't understand what the other person was saying.
"As you can see, these students are in ragged clothes and their lives are not guaranteed. How can they enjoy the educational rights they have won? It's worrying, it's worrying!"
The female host was rude to the camera again.
"Damn it, can this be black?"
Liu Lang was so angry that he almost laughed.
June is about to enter. The highest temperature in the capital has reached 26 or 7 degrees. Now the temperature in the square is around 20 degrees. Most people only wear a thin cloth shirt. This young man was jogging in the square just now.
, covered with sweat, he took off his clothes and was enjoying the cool air, but when he came to the mouth of these people, he was in rags.
"You are judging other people's homes. It seems that this is inconsistent with your so-called gentlemanly behavior, right?"
Liu Lang approached and directly questioned him in English.
"You... um? Have a kid?"
Several British people were stunned for a moment.
It's so rare that a child can speak English.
In the early 1980s, apart from those of the older generation who had studied abroad, there were really not many people who could speak English, because English classes did not begin to be widely taught across the country until 1984. In other words, even
Not many college students understand it, except those major students from the China Foreign Affairs University, let alone this child who looks to be only four or five years old.
"You can actually speak English? It's amazing, it's amazing!"
The female host looked surprised, and at the same time she touched Liu Lang's chubby little face.
"Don't touch!"
Liu Lang blocked it with his hand.
"Haha, you have quite a temper. Is your father British or your mother British?"
The female host asked again. In her eyes, only children whose family members are British can speak English.
