An eye-catching promotional poster is posted in front of the Golden Theater: Director Ying Yunwei, co-starring Yuan Muzhi, Chen Bo'er, Wei Heling, preview of the seventeenth performance of the drama "Roar, China".
Performance time: February 25th, February 26th, February 27th, 6pm to 8pm.
Ticket price: half a yuan for individual seats, one yuan for reserved seats.
This play is adapted from real events. Because the content involves the United States and Britain, it has been banned from being shown in the public concession. The fact that it can be performed in the French Concession is the result of many arguments.
Xu Siqi paused for a long time. He had heard of this play in Japan and thought that when it was performed, he would have to come and see it first.
No. 330 Foch Road is really easy to find, it's in the alley across the street from the Golden Theater.
Xu Siqi reached out and knocked on the door: "Excuse me, does Zheng Zheng live here?"
After coming over for a while, I heard the door creaking. A young man with a mustache opened the door and looked at Xu Siqi in surprise with his mouth open.
Xu Siqi smiled and said, "Why, don't you recognize me?"
The mustache was solemn. In ecstasy, he hugged Xu Siqi and said excitedly: "Siqi? I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Xu Siqi was also very excited. When they were studying in Tianjin, the relationship between the two was the best. Time flies, and it has been five or six years since they last met.
"You are still the same, you haven't changed at all."
"You have also changed... Siqi, what's wrong with your face?"
"Oh, it's a long story..."
"Let's talk after we get inside."
Although the house is not large in size, it has complete environmental facilities, including bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, and a storage room.
It can be seen that Zheng Zheng doesn't clean up much at ordinary times. Books, newspapers and clothes are piled up in a mess everywhere, and the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen sink haven't been washed yet.
After sitting down, he solemnly poured a bowl of hot water for Xu Siqi and said, "I'm sorry, there is no tea at home, so I can only serve the distinguished guests with plain water."
Xu Siqi smiled and said, "When did I become a distinguished guest?"
"If you're not a distinguished guest, are you a lowly guest?" He laughed solemnly.
After making a few jokes, the two seemed to have returned to their youthful days when they didn't know the heights of the world.
"Seriously, are you the only one at home?"
"Well, it's just my brother."
"In all these years in Shanghai, you haven't had a girlfriend?"
"As the saying goes, if one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry. How good it is. It saves money and trouble... By the way, don't just talk about me, Siqi, aren't you studying in Japan? Why..."
"I can't stay in Japan anymore, so I have to come to Shanghai to join you."
"What happened?"
"During the New Year dinner, I had a serious conflict with a senior and was expelled from the school."
"What kind of conflict is it that you are removed from the list?"
"I broke that man's left eye, and I was stabbed myself." Xu Siqi pointed to the scar on his face.
"So serious..." Zheng Zheng frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "I remember that I often fought with people at that time. You always advised me to tolerate everything if I can. There is no need to worry about trivial matters. This time you
Why can't you hold it back?"
Xu Siqi was silent for a while, let out a breath, and said, "He called me a Chinese pig and said that we Chinese are an inferior nation."
"Is that senior Japanese?"
Xu Siqi nodded: "99% of the students on Jianghai Island are Japanese."
He slapped the table solemnly and said: "Siqi, I support you on this matter. The Japanese just deserve to be beaten. They have the nerve to say that others are inferior races, and they don't urinate in the water to look at themselves. They are bow-legged and small.
They are the inferior race!"
Xu Siqi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Actually, I was too impulsive at the time..."
"Not impulsive, not impulsive at all! If it were me, I would twist off his head and use it as a chamber pot!" Zheng Zheng said angrily.
Xu Siqi took a sip of water and said, "Seriously, please help me keep an eye on whether there is a suitable house for rent in the past few days. It's best to be closer to you so that we can take care of each other."
He said solemnly: "Why are you renting a house? Can't you just live here with me?"
"Is it...convenient for you?"
"Convenient. Well, there are two bedrooms, so we can share one each." He stood up solemnly and opened the door of the other bedroom. There was a wooden bed and a high and low cabinet inside.
Xu Siqi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, how much is the rent for you here? Each of us will pay half."
He solemnly put his hands on his hips, looked Xu Siqi up and down, and said with a sullen face: "We haven't seen each other for a few years, do you think you are alienated from me? If I take your money, we will be nothing more than friends!"
"Seriously, these are two different things. Brothers will settle accounts..."
"Okay, okay, you can live here if you like it. If you don't like it, I'll knock you down and settle the accounts with others. I'm not good at math and I can't do calculations!" Zheng Zheng sat down on the sofa and turned his head to the other side angrily.
.
Xu Siqi smiled, took out a cigarette and threw one to Zheng Zheng, and said, "If you say that, then I won't be polite. It's been a long time, so just don't find it annoying."
Zheng Zheng immediately turned his anger into joy and said with a smile: "That's right. What's the relationship between the two of us? We are ferocious, we are classmates and friends since we were young. We are closer than brothers. Why are you being polite to me?"
As he spoke, he glanced at his watch and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. You haven't eaten yet, right? Come on, I'll treat you to a restaurant. Authentic Tianjin cuisine must be as authentic as possible!"
"I just ate."
"Is there something wrong with you? You just ate... Why are you so anxious? You can't wait for me to eat together?"
Xu Siqi sighed: "Brother, your address is wrong. I walked around the street for a long time and I am really hungry..."
Xu Siqi opened the suitcase, took out the letters between the two of them, and threw it on the coffee table: "Read it yourself."
He looked at it solemnly and carefully, couldn't help but burst into laughter, and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you don't know who I am. I forgot to write, maybe I was careless."
Xu Siqi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you are careless, you will cause me to walk a long time in vain..."
The two chatted for a while and asked solemnly: "Siqi, what are your plans for coming to Shanghai this time?"
Xu Siqi said: "Let's take it one step at a time. I want to find a job first... By the way, you said in your letter last time that your company's salary and benefits are good. Are you still recruiting people now?"
"We have no shortage of people there for the time being, but don't worry. With your ability, I guess you can find a job soon... Hey, by the way, Siqi, can you speak Japanese?"
"meeting."
"The day before yesterday, I passed by Sima Road. A new Ito trading company opened near Zhonghua Bookstore. I heard that they were looking for a translator..."
