After taking a group photo, everyone walked into the school. The students who were watching had mostly dispersed after watching for a while, but there was still a small group of people following behind.
Zhang Zhong looked at the group of people following him, and Qi Lin said sheepishly, "The students in the school are quite enthusiastic, which made Teacher Zhang laugh."
"It's okay. When I saw them, I felt like I saw myself before. But what I didn't expect was that it's National Day and there are so many students in school."
"Haha, the students are still looking forward to Teacher Zhang's arrival. Let's go inside. The north of the school is the teaching area, and the south is mainly the dormitory area. Let's go to the teaching area first."
Arriving in the north, looking at the quaint buildings, Zhang Zhong sighed, "Jinling University is indeed a century-old famous school. Looking at it, I thought I was in the Republic of China a hundred years ago."
Qi Lin pointed to one of the buildings covered with green plants and said, "This is the North Building of our school. It was built in 1917 and has a history of more than a hundred years. It was designed by the famous American architect Bismarck.
Well, back then, Chinese and Western civilizations collided fiercely and continued to merge. Looking at this building now, you can still feel the pulse of that era from its appearance and style."
Looking at the North Building covered with ivy in front of him, Zhang Zhong couldn't help but sigh. Jinling University on Earth also has such a building, which is almost exactly the same.
When Mr. Yu Guangzhong was still alive, he once returned to his alma mater and composed the next song "Telling the Bell" to express his longing for him.
However, Zhang Zhong cannot be used in this poem. His alma mater is Jiangyang University, not Jinling University.
The North Building, of course, has nothing to do with Peking University. It is just the abbreviation of "North Building".
This building is now the administrative building of Jinling University, where Qi Lin and the following teachers work. However, Qi Lin did not take Zhang Zhong in, but walked past the North Building and continued walking forward.
Jinling University is not big, at least the campus in Gulou District is not big, only less than 800 acres.
What is the concept of eight hundred acres? It means that any school can beat the Gulou campus instantly. Take Zhang Zhong's school for example, it is close to two thousand acres, which is three times as big as the Gulou campus and still a fraction.
Yenching University has an area of 7,000 acres, which is close to Jinling University’s Gulou Campus.
Therefore, there was nothing better here. It didn't take long for Qi Lin to take Zhang Zhong for a look around.
After seeing the scenery of the school, Qi Lin took Zhang Zhong to the Jinling University History Museum.
The school history museum of Jinling University is built in the old library of Jinling University.
Walking in from the school history museum, on the walls in the entrance hall and on both sides of the stairs, photo light boxes and color sprays are used to display the planning plans of the two campuses of Gulou and Pukou, the school motto of Jinling University, the school gates, school scenery, and some graduates in different periods.
Take photos, etc.
As soon as people walk in, it is like entering a time tunnel of Jinling University's century-old history.
It's just that Zhang Zhong didn't graduate from Jinling University, so he had less feelings.
He also thought that if Jiangyang University had such a museum, with the motto of Jiangyang University written on the wall and various photos hanging on it, it would bring back memories of the past.
The school history museum has a total of three exhibition halls. The theme of the first exhibition hall is "Century History of the School", the theme of the second exhibition hall is "Jinji University Today", and the theme of the third exhibition hall is "Century of Talents".
After Zhang Zhong visited the three exhibition halls under the introduction of Qi Lin and a group of teachers, Qi Lin took Zhang Zhong to another room.
"This room contains gifts from famous people who have visited our school over the years." Qi Lin introduced.
At a glance, Zhang Zhong saw a wall covered with photos, all of which were group photos. Among them, Zhang Zhong also saw many familiar faces, including those in science, literature, and politics.
To be placed on this wall, of course he is no small figure.
After looking at this wall, Zhang Zhong walked inside again and saw a long glass display cabinet with many various things in it.
"This iris specimen was given to us by Mr. Yang Fan when he visited our school ten years ago." Qi Lin introduced, pointing to an iris specimen on the counter.
Zhang Chong said with a smile, "The iris is our city flower in Jiangyang."
"Well, Mr. Yang Fan's ancestral home is Jiangyang, and he is from the same hometown as Teacher Zhang and Dean Xu."
Zhang nodded and said nothing. Yang Fan is an American, and he has not been in Jiangyang for a few years. Most people don't know that his ancestral home is Jiangyang.
"This book "The Flow of the Same Origin" was given to our school by Mr. Wang Meng twenty years ago, and there is a congratulatory message written by him on the title page." Qi Lin pointed to a book next to him and said.
The book was held open by a stand, revealing the congratulatory message on the title page.
"A hundred years of wind and rain, a hundred years of vicissitudes, a hundred years of cultivating people, and talents emerge in large numbers."
Four words, sixteen characters, vigorous and powerful, indeed Wang Meng's handwriting.
"This pen is..."
Qi Lin introduced Zhang Zhong all the way, which made Zhang Zhong a little embarrassed because he didn't prepare any gifts when he came over.
I touched my pocket and found that apart from my cell phone, I only had the faker pen that I usually carry with me.
Of course, it is impossible to give the mobile phone to Jinling University.
As for this pen, I can’t give it away either.
If he bought this pen himself, then it would be a gift. However, this pen was given to him by Shen Jian. It would not be good for him to give it to others.
But after seeing what happened later, Zhang Zhong finally got inspiration.
Because he saw a painting.
"This "Picture of Rich Residence" was painted on the spot by Master Fang Keyin at the venue. The ink is elegant and magnificent. When Master Fang Keyin painted this painting, I was still there. It was just a cup of tea. This
A three-foot-square painting came out, which is truly astonishing."
This painting is all black ink with some cinnabar, and the process is indeed not too complicated. Fang Keyin has been painting landscapes for decades, so he is certainly very good at painting such a mountain.
When Zhang Zhong saw this painting and listened to Qi Lin's introduction, he had an idea.
However, he didn't rush to say it. He waited until Qi Lin took him through the display cabinets before he said, "I came here empty-handed this time. I'm really sorry. If Principal Qi doesn't mind it, I will also follow Master Fang's example of using ink on the spot.
I present a piece of my humble work."
Qi Lin hurriedly said, "Teacher Zhang, don't worry, it is already our school's honor for you to come to our school."
"Does Principal Qi dislike his incompetence?" Zhang Chong said with a smile.
"Don't dare, don't dare, then I'll send someone to get the pen and ink." Qi Lin said.
Qi Lin's words were polite, but his body was very honest, and the pen and ink seemed to have been prepared a long time ago. He just ordered it and it was delivered within two minutes.
Zhang adjusted the ink again and wrote:
When a stone is struck, there is fire, but when it is not struck, there is no smoke. People only learn to understand, but it is unnatural if they do not learn.
Everything must be done by its own destiny, and it is not me who is worthy of him. Youth must be born early, how can one grow into a young man?
