"I hear what you mean. Undergraduate education at Tsinghua University is equivalent to junior high school education in Xiangjiang. Junior high school students in Xiangjiang are equivalent to college students in the Mainland. In this way, master's degrees in the Mainland are equivalent to high school students in Xiangjiang. Doctoral degrees in the Mainland are equivalent to those at Xiangjiang University.
For preparatory courses, doctoral supervisors from the Mainland are equivalent to college students in Xiangjiang, right?"
"This is your understanding. If you insist on saying that this is what I mean, then I admit it." Douglas shrugged.
"Three years ago, China sent the first batch of 52 publicly-sponsored international students to the United States. Most of them were young teachers and scholars, and the minimum they received was a master's degree. This year, the Sino-US international student program that is being negotiated, including Tsinghua University,
Undergraduate graduates from several universities in China go to the United States to directly pursue postgraduate education."
Lin Xiaoguang smiled and asked: "Mr. Douglas, is the education in Xiangjiang more developed than that in the United States, and it is three levels higher?"
Why don't you go to heaven?
As a typical Anglo-Saxon, Douglas was obviously not easy to get along with, and even if there were loopholes in what he said, he would not admit it easily.
He put down his civilized stick, put down his top hat, took off his outer coat, and slowly did what he was doing. He waited until he delayed for nearly half a minute before turning around and saying, "I can't handle your affairs with the Americans."
Comment, but now that you want to enter the University of Hong Kong, you need to follow the school’s arrangements, what do you think? Chinese boy.”
"People have to bow their heads under the eaves. I agree with this."
Lin Xiaoguang did not deny it, but changed the subject and said: "There are six things that the Lord hates, and seven things that He hates even in his heart: haughty eyes, lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, and plots
A heart that devises evil plans, feet that are quick to do evil, a false witness who tells lies, a person who sows strife among brothers.”
Douglas's face showed disinterest, and he gradually looked at it seriously.
He smiled inwardly, but continued: "O man, what does the LORD require of you, as he has shown you what is good? But to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God."
He spoke at a leisurely pace, as if he was reciting. When he spoke, he looked at Douglas in the eyes, full of compassion. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on him, giving him a sense of sanctity.
Listening to what he said, Laura's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Mr. Douglas, as a devout Christian, don't you feel ashamed of your words and deeds just now?"
Lin Xiaoguang looked directly at Douglas with warm eyes and a sincere smile.
At this time, before Douglas could speak, Laura asked first: "Qin, have you read the Bible?"
Lin Xiaoguang nodded: "I have learned a lot. I read all kinds of books."
He has indeed read the Bible. Thanks to his lovable ex-girlfriend in his previous life, he has a very good memory in this life, and he remembers the contents of the Bible clearly. Just like the previous paragraph he just said, it comes from Proverbs Chapter 6, 16 of the Bible.
The verses to chapter 19 and the last paragraph come from Micah chapter 6 verse 8 in the Bible.
Laura felt like she had found a treasure, and she was overjoyed and exclaimed: "I never thought that in this era in mainland China, there are still college students reading the Bible."
"Are you a Christian?" she asked with earnestness.
"Sorry, I am an atheist and a Marxist. If people must have religious beliefs, I would rather be a Taoist and go to Zhongnan Mountain to live in seclusion." Lin Xiaoguang shook his head.
"You are really different." Although she was disappointed, Laura was very happy and felt like she had discovered a piece of jade.
Douglas was extremely unhappy when he saw the two of them leaving him aside and chatting happily.
However, Lin Xiaoguang did not make sophistry, but directly defeated him in the field in which he was least skilled, in the religion and Bible that the British were most familiar with. He was not convinced by this, but he was unable to refute.
At that moment, he snorted coldly and said: "Chinese boy, you are not a Christian, you have no right to say this."
After that, he looked at Laura and said: "I have something else to do, so I'm going to the study. Don't disturb me."
Then, Shi Shiran left regardless.
"Ignore him." Laura smiled at Lin Xiaoguang: "He is just a stubborn old man, full of arrogance and prejudice. This is true for Americans, let alone you." She looked at the pendulum clock hanging on the wall.
, looked at him eagerly and said: "It's almost dinner time, I'll ask the Filipino maid to prepare dinner, you can stay and eat."
"Please don't refuse me, okay?"
The old lady was very polite and treated him very well. She would become his mentor in the future. It was really hard for Lin Xiaoguang to refuse, but he still declined. He smiled apologetically and said, "Professor, I'm really sorry. It's New Year's Eve soon.
I was really busy for two days and had no time.”
Laura was startled and suddenly thought of this question.
"Yes, the Spring Festival is a Chinese tradition. I forgot that you have to reunite with your family."
"Professor, next time, next time, okay. In a few days, St. Valentine's Day will be here. I'll come to visit you again on that day. I just hope I won't disturb you." Lin Xiaoguang said with a smile.
"That's fine."
Just like that, Laura sent him out. On the green grass, the two walked side by side. Lin Xiaoguang was slightly behind, walking behind Laura. The old lady had a strong body and looked very much like German Chancellor Merkel.
"I'm very curious about the hermitage in Zhongnan Mountain you mentioned. I hope you can talk to me about it another day." Laura said before leaving.
American sinologist Bill Porter would not go to mainland China until 1989 to visit the hermitage in Mount Zhongnan.
Bill Porter spent many years and traveled to many places, and finally wrote the book "Orchid in the Empty Valley". The book mainly revolves around his search for the hermits living in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, and also provides his own views and opinions on China's hermit culture.
Evaluation: After the publication of this book, it caused a wave of learning about Chinese culture at home and abroad.
To a certain extent, the most curious thing about Western countries is China, whether it is ancient China or modern red China, and Laura is no exception.
"Okay." Lin Xiaoguang smiled and nodded.
He drove away in the car, and Laura stood at the door, watching him go away. She looked at the car thoughtfully.
Returning to the living room, she was shocked to see Douglas sitting on a wicker chair, holding black tea and drinking it leisurely. She couldn't help joking: "Douglas, don't you have something to deal with? Oh my God, the seven deadly sins I just mentioned, lying, are you doing it again?
Guilty."
"I just saw him upset." Douglas snorted: "The Lord will forgive me for a person I don't like."
"He is different from many young people in mainland China today. He is humorous, confident and modest. He is not groveling like many people, nor is he stern and shy like many people. I can see that his heart is very strong and he is indeed excellent.
, isn’t it?”
"I admit this."
"So, dear Douglas, you just took it too far, you know that?"
"I'm a school board director, and I'm not an actor." Douglas hummed.
