The call was from Laura. Lin Xiaoguang answered the call and heard a voice coming from inside: "Congratulations, you have passed the thesis defense and examination. You are now a master's degree from the University of Hong Kong."
It has been more than twenty days since the defense and examination, which is really slow.
He waited until the flowers were almost withered, but fortunately he still passed. Otherwise, he would have to go back to school, study for another semester, then take the exam and defend, and see the faces of the professors on the defense committee again.
"Thank you!" He thanked her sincerely. He was still very grateful to Laura for her guidance over the past year and a half.
Laura smiled and did not refuse the thank you. She just smiled and said: "When will you come over to get your graduation certificate and bachelor's degree certificate? In addition, don't you plan to take photos with your teachers and classmates as a souvenir?
"
"Of course, the year and a half I spent at HKU will be an indelible memory in my life. Of course I have to take pictures."

He finished speaking affectionately, and then said: "As for graduation certificates and bachelor's degree certificates, I have time to come over at any time. I just don't know when the school board will be free?"
"Tomorrow, you can go there at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Okay, thank you, Professor."
"Well, a year and a half has passed by so fast. Time flies like an arrow." Laura sighed, and then said: "Before you go to study in the United States, remember to ask me for a letter of recommendation so that I can identify which school you want to go to.
Don’t forget to choose which professor to study under and write you a targeted recommendation letter.”
I have to say that compared to the gang of politicians in the Hong Kong government who have no bottom line, the British professors in the school are much more upright. The former is a conspiracy, while the latter is an honest conspiracy.
When you study under me, in addition to studying academics, you will have to come into contact with my religion and ideological culture. This is a long-term process of immersion, both active and passive. Of course, it is also brainwashing, but the method must be much gentler.
Laura came with a conspiracy, but she did not compromise on academics at all and gave him a lot of guidance.
In fact, Laura does not think that this is brainwashing. In her opinion, it is just instilling universal values into a person who has gone astray, so that he can correct his mistakes and return to the right path. This is a kind and selfless act.
It is the most noble ideal of a teacher, just like a mother treats a prodigal son.
Lin Xiaoguang also sees it this way.
Laura didn't have any dark thoughts in her heart, because she had made this her lifelong creed.
But he is also the same. The three views have long been formed. In his understanding, the Western system is adhered to by Western intellectuals, played wantonly by the capitalists in the upper-class business world, and maintained by politicians in the political world as vested interests.
In this order, only the people at the bottom are deceived and fooled, and they are wrong.
He also insisted on his own path and walked on it without hesitation. At the same time, he firmly believed that this path was the right one.
This is what is meant by the saying that people of different ways do not work together.
Putting aside everything else, he was very grateful to Laura and respected her academically.
"Okay, I'll remember it, thank you Professor."
After hanging up the phone, in the house on Pok Fu Lam Road, Laura sighed, feeling a little regretful.
For a full year and a half, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and after-school hours, all the class time added up to a total of 2,340 hours. In the end, it still failed to affect this young man at all, which shows how determined he is.
It was so firm that she couldn't believe it.
She could never imagine why a young man from such a backward country had such a firm belief in him?
A few years ago, she learned that the people who fled south to Hong Kong had their beliefs shattered one by one. How thorough and determined they were in changing their appearance at that time, how thorough and determined he persisted today.
It's incredible how powerful that set of thoughts is. No matter whether he is poor or rich, it can't affect him.
Douglas walked in quietly at some point, leaning on a cane, and hummed: "He is just a stubborn brat. If it weren't for your persistence, he would never graduate this time."
Laura heard her husband's voice, looked back at him, and said: "Let politics be politics and academics be academics. Isn't it true that he is not good at academics?"
"Hmph!" Douglas also refuted this point in the room, but he still felt dissatisfied: "The University of Hong Kong is a place where the Hong Kong government cultivates talents for itself. From this point of view, in his current situation, he has not reached the level of employment of the Hong Kong government at all.
standard."
Hearing this, Laura smiled: "As far as I know, the top management of the Hong Kong government are all British, but there is no Chinese. Only at the lower levels, such as the police force, are Chinese. What you want to say about the employment standards of the Hong Kong government,
Are you referring to the Hong Kong police who bully citizens and commit corruption and bribery? Is this how the Hong Kong government employs people?"
Upon hearing this, Douglas was immediately speechless.
If the police force hadn't been so bad, would the Hong Kong government have set up the Independent Commission Against Corruption? But why is the police force so bad? It's not because the police force works from top to bottom. The white ghosts at the top and middle levels of the police force are greedier than the other. The people below are just trying to feed the ones above.
We can exploit the citizens with all our strength.
He looked embarrassed, but didn't want to admit defeat. He thought for a moment and said directly: "I am a trustee of the University of Hong Kong. I am in charge of my political affairs. I cannot comment on the affairs of the police force, but I still have a say in the school."
of."
"Today's students are so shameless. They don't stay in school properly. They demonstrate all day long, disrupt traffic order, hinder the police from performing their official duties, and affect the lives of Hong Kong citizens. What is this called? This is called not doing their job properly and looking down on the police force and the Hong Kong government.
For nothing, it smeares the image of the Hong Kong government and Hong Kong."
"God told me that these students are hopeless and will be finished sooner or later."
Speaking of this matter, Douglas suddenly became excited. He remembered something and said directly: "And you, a student, are not a good person. Qinhuai Industrial, where he works, has set up the Zhao Hanqing Foundation. Isn't this an obvious move against Tokyo?"
"Chang'an International, who was behind the scenes, was even more uneasy and sued the Ryukyu authorities and police, but involved the High Court and the police force to uncover the 707 incident."
"Because of this, the school directors criticized him a lot. If it hadn't been for the academic degree committee's repeated insistence, he would never have graduated."
When Laura heard this, she suddenly had some understanding of recent events. After thinking about it, she immediately retorted: "No, he is an employee of Huarun. The major shareholder of Qinhuai Industrial is Changan International. The company's actions cannot represent him."
, you can’t offend him because of this, he is a good young man and he is innocent.”
"innocent?"
Douglas suddenly laughed: "Who knows what role Hua Run played in this matter? Although it is rumored that he voted the only dissenting vote, who knows whether he was acting for the public?"
Laura is an academic and is not very good at these things. Now she talked about another matter: "The High Court does not intend to accept the case of Zhao Hanqing and open a trial?"
"Absolutely impossible, London will not offend Tokyo."
"Then do you think the Tokyo District Court will accept this lawsuit?"
"Tokyo's attitude towards the Diaoyu Islands is very clear, so it is impossible to slap itself in the face. It is even more impossible to accept this lawsuit, and it has received support from Washington."
"Then will the Ryukyu authorities and police plead guilty, admit the violations during the arrest, and compensate the victims?"
"Maybe, maybe not. I'm not a Ryukyu police officer. I don't know."
