Chapter 20: If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero
At this point, I thought there would be an explanation. Unexpectedly, the director dropped this sentence without saying a single word.
I was so anxious that I only left one sentence: "It's written in the notice that the report is on the 13th. Isn't it time yet? Why are you in a hurry? Send a representative to come over tomorrow morning and we will notify you then."
After coming out, everyone was thinking about who to represent.
At the beginning of this matter, some of them also thought about finding people in the same situation to go to the admissions office to ask questions, but because they were weak and weak, they still couldn't get together. In the end, it was Lin Xiaoyun's group of relatives and friends, as well as the classmates of relatives and friends who made the most of their efforts.
function to bring everyone together.
Therefore, everyone unanimously elected Lin Xiaoyun to be this representative.
It was decided happily.
Suddenly someone turned his head and said: "Hey, no, since we will report tomorrow and we know we are going to the National People's Congress, why come to Beijing Normal University? We can go there now to inquire about the situation?"
As soon as this was said, everyone unanimously agreed.
So, the enthusiastic young people took the trouble to walk to the National People's Congress in Haidian Street.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at No. 39 Haidian Road, they were dumbfounded.
It turned out that there were soldiers in military uniforms standing at the gate of the National People's University, carrying Type 56 semi-automatic rifles on their backs. Two bars blocked the road in front of the gate. All the people going in and out were the same soldiers.
Lin Xiaoyun stepped forward to ask and received a surprising answer.
"This is where the troops are stationed. The National People's Congress was disbanded seven years ago, and the troops were stationed at that time."
When I asked other questions, the sentry ignored them and just urged them to leave.
The students' wish to report in advance was once again frustrated, and the only hope fell on Lin Xiaoyun.
On the same day, Lin Xiaoyun went to the Admissions Office of Beijing Normal University alone. Many classmates were worried and followed her, but in the end they all stood outside the Admissions Office and did not dare to go in.
After a while, she came out.
"Let's go to Chongwenmen Hotel, where a teacher is waiting for us."
In a flurry of excitement, everyone rushed to their destination. Chongwenmen was quite far away, right next to Peking Station. When they arrived by bus, it was already an hour later.
According to the address given by the director, Lin Xiaoyun and her classmates found the hotel.
But no one is allowed in the hotel.
On the street outside the hotel door, stood a teacher with an elegant temperament, wearing myopia glasses and a scholarly demeanor.
"Are you Teacher Hu?" Lin Xiaoyun asked.
"Yes, I am." Teacher Hu nodded, with a smile on his face, and glanced at the seventeen classmates: "You are all students of Renmin University. Now, as the deputy director of the Philosophy Department, I will speak to you on behalf of the school."
Everyone stood in silence.
Teacher Hu suddenly became very serious, his face was very calm, and he said proudly: "That's it, Renmin University of China was dissolved in 1970 and resumed this year. It first enrolled students in the name of Beijing Normal University, and enrolled three students in total.
One hundred and forty students in the major will temporarily study at Beijing Normal University after enrolling, but will soon move back to Renmin University."
"Ah? So that's it." When the truth came out, Lin Xiaoyun couldn't laugh or cry.
Everyone was also shocked.
At the end, Teacher Hu glanced at the students and said solemnly: "What you have received are admission notices from Beijing Normal University, but they are actually students from Renmin University. Please consider it carefully and tell me clearly whether you agree."
, or don’t agree? Everyone has to answer.”
Do we still need to consider this? There was no need to even think about it, everyone answered in unison.
"I agree, of course I agree."
"There's nothing else to consider. Just go to college."
"It's great, I can finally go to college."
Everyone was very happy, and some even cried with joy. Teacher Hu saw it and was very excited: "I already know about your affairs. Some people came here early on the 10th and never gave up. This is good.
Only with a strong will can you succeed in learning."
"And you, classmate Lin Xiaoyun, you found your classmates and organized everyone to go to the admissions office of Beijing Normal University to proactively solve the problem instead of just waiting for death. This is good. You should take the initiative in learning."
Lin Xiaoyun lowered her head and pursed her lips with a smile. She was very ashamed of the praise and shook her head: "Teacher Hu, it was actually my younger brother and sister who came up with the idea."
"I know."
Teacher Hu smiled even more: "Your family is amazing. People from the northern Qing Dynasty can live together. I think it is the only one in the country."
This matter ends here.
After the successful report, these seventeen Renmin University students all wanted to treat Comrade Lin Xiaoguang, the organizer behind the scenes, to a meal.
However, Lin Xiaoguang did not regard himself as a hero. Seeing that they were admitted to school, he retired and returned to the guest house and dormitory 404 of the English class of the Humanities Department of Tsinghua University.
As for Lin Xiaoyun, she has more important things to do.
After the report, she thought of another question: "We have found the organization now, but the other students on the train don't know where to report. Tsinghua and Peking University have reception desks at Beiping Station, and there are seniors working there.
Only we at the National People’s Congress have not. As the first class of students to resume school, our current tasks..."
Before she could say anything, the students were thinking fast and blurted out in an instant: "There must be a reception desk."
So, my cousin went to welcome the new students of grade 77 as a new student.
Yang Lan reported earlier. Peking University reported on the 9th. School will start on the 12th. She has already started classes. Yes, there is no military training.
These days, except for military school students, all college students across the country do not need military training. It will take several years before military training will be implemented on a pilot basis in some universities, and college students will be happy for several more years.
Lin Xiaoguang also escaped.
Lin Xiaoyun was welcoming new students, Yang Lan was in class, and Lin Xiaoguang still had a day and a half to spare. Taking this opportunity, he decisively called out his father and uncle and asked them to visit Peking.
The three adults have been busy with their cousin's affairs since the past few days, so they don't have the mood or time to travel.
It wasn't until the matter was resolved and enrollment was normal that I finally felt relieved.
In the afternoon, we took photos in front of Tiananmen Square, then went to the Forbidden City Museum, Revolutionary History Museum, and Military Museum. After that, we went to the Temple of Heaven, the Temple of Earth, Longtan, and Yuyuantan. In the morning, we went to Beihai, Shichahai, Houhai, Xiangshan, and Mingshi.
After lunch in Sanling, we stopped by the Old Summer Palace and the Summer Palace next to Qingbei for a walk.
It wasn't until the afternoon that I finally found time to take a bus out of the city to Juyongguan and Badaling.
Standing on the Great Wall, looking at the rolling mountains below and the winding Great Wall in the distance, Lin Boping frowned and thought deeply, looking like he was bitter and resentful.
Lin Xiaoguang was very curious, so he asked directly.
Lin Boping replied thoughtfully: "The Great Wall is a military defense project. You see, the terrain in the north is very steep. Militaryly, it is very disadvantageous to attack from here. Three times the force will be fatal, but the south can rely on the city, walls, barriers, pavilions, and signs.
The stacks support and defend each other. I have to admire the wisdom of the ancients."
I thought my uncle was dissatisfied with seeing too many tourists, but he was really thinking about this. He is such an upright soldier. Lin Xiaoguang couldn't laugh or cry.
"Uncle, what are you thinking about?"
Yang Wenyong was high-spirited, raised his head to look at the setting sun at a forty-five-degree angle, and began to recite a poem: "Wow! The moon is shining brightly in the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty is close. The people who have marched thousands of miles have not returned, but the flying generals of the Dragon City are here, and they will not teach Hu Ma to cross the Yin Mountains."
Lin Xiaoguang was speechless and asked again: "Dad, where are you?"
"You don't have to be a hero to visit the Great Wall. I didn't expect that such a day would happen to me. I didn't expect that! I didn't expect that!"
Lin Xiaoguang suddenly felt that his father was so uneducated.
