At 11 am, Li Ge dragged Li Xu to Ewha Womans University.
Ewha Womans University was one of the oldest universities in Korea. It was the first women's university in Korea. It was founded in 1886, and its original name was Ewha Hall.
It was named by Korean Emperor Gojong and Empress Myeongseong to commemorate the wife of Dr. Scranton, who was the first to establish women's education in Korea. In 1948, it was renamed Ewha Womans University.
The university was famous not only because of its long history, but also because after World War II, Korea had nurtured six first ladies and a large number of female politicians, female celebrities, and female businessmen.
The current head of Hyundai Group, Hyun Eun-jin, graduated from Ewha Womans University. She was also the first female leader of a large enterprise in Korean history.
There were many women's movements in Korea's history. Among the women's movements, the one who stood at the forefront and attracted the most attention was Ewha Womans University, which was known as the top women's university in Asia.
At the end of July 2016, Ewha Womans University suddenly established a "Future Life Academy." Compared to other universities in Ewha University, the requirements to enroll in this academy were much lower, and the tuition fees were much more expensive.
This caused dissatisfaction among Ewha Womans University. They felt that this was a way for the university to make money, and it would dilute the value of the other students. Hence, the students and graduates of Ewha University raised a special fund of about 480,000 RMB to carry out protests. During the first protest, the university called for thousands of security guards to seal off the university's main hall and prevent the students from entering for the gathering. They also clashed with the students.
To show solidarity with the students who were confronting the university, thousands of female seniors who had already graduated held banners that said, "Sister is here." They rushed back to the university from all directions to tell the students, "Don't be afraid, we're still here."
At night, they lit up silver protest signs at the entrance of Ewha University and sang to each other to encourage the security guards. At that time, the entire Ewha University was covered in a sea of silver, and not even a drop of water could trickle through.
As more and more people joined in, the conflict between the students and the university gradually heated up. One person gradually became the center of attention: Zhen Weiluo.
Zhen Weiluo was the daughter of Choi Soon-sil, a trusted aide of the former Korean President Jung Yong. She entered Ewha University in 2014 as an equestrian student. Before that, there was no equestrian event in Ewha University's sports program. It was as if it was tailor-made for her.
Zheng Weiluo, a bad student, did not study hard at all after he entered Pear University. He did not attend a single class in his second year. He did not even take the exams and went to Europe to flaunt his wealth. He even mocked the other students in Pear University.
She said that her horse cost one billion won and that the other students were losers. If they had to blame someone, they could only blame their parents for not being capable enough.
In the end, the students of Ewha Womans University were agitated and started to protest. They started to expose Zheng Weiluo's privileges and forced the president to resign.
Ever since Zheng Weiluo was exposed, the protests started by the girls formed a whirlwind that swept through South Korea's political scene. People began to speculate whether Cui Shunshi was using his mother to gain benefits from the various privileges that he had laid out for his daughter.
Later, a reporter from the Korean TV station JTBC found out that Choi Soon-Shik had Prime Minister Kim Jong Un's speech on his computer.
After much research, the public found that Choi Shunshi was able to modify Kim Jong Un's speech, knew about the contents of the secret talks between the Koreas, participated in the appointment and dismissal of the Blue House officials, and knew the contents of the State Council like the back of his hand.
When the scandal of Kim Jong Un's best friend broke out, the public felt that they had been cheated. They were furious and took to the streets to express their dissatisfaction. This was also the direct reason why the former president of South Korea, Kim Jong Un, was ousted.
Of course, Ewha Womans University was also Kim Jong Un's alma mater. It was unknown whether the imprisoned former president of South Korea loved or hated Ewha Womans University.
It was currently a holiday, so there weren't many people going in and out of Ewha Womans University. The two of them stood at the entrance of the university.
Li Ge looked at the time and hesitated. "It's only 11. Why don't we wait for a while before going in?"
Li Xu was convinced. "Which Guapi keeps rushing me? Now you think it's too early? Hurry up and call Zhao Enjing out. We'll go back as soon as we finish. "
Li Ge hesitated. "Erm, Miss Enjing still has classes in the morning and her performance in the afternoon. She shouldn't be done with her classes yet. It's not good to call her now."
Li Xu widened his eyes. "She still has classes in the morning. Why did you call me here so early?"
Li Ge smiled and didn't say anything.
The two of them stood at the entrance of Ewha Womans University and waited for a while. From time to time, the girls who passed by would look at them as if they were looking at a pervert who had barged into a women's bathhouse.
Well, to be precise, it was like they were looking at those perverts who put bottles of water on top of their cars at the entrance of some universities in China.
Li Xu couldn't stand it anymore. "We're standing here like a combination of a fool and a muggle."
Li Ge was silent for two seconds. "Who's the fool?"
Li Xu: "?"
Was that the main point?
"Forget it. Let's go in first and stand at the entrance. They're going to call the police later."
Li Xu took the lead and walked in. Li Ge quickly followed and questioned, "Do you know the way? It'll be very embarrassing if we get lost in there. "
Li Xu replied. "Compared to being embarrassed, I don't want to be treated as a pervert."
The two of them went to the school gate to register first. After registering as tourists, they were allowed to enter. Pear University was a famous tourist destination in Seoul. Tourists were allowed to visit. However, the teaching buildings on campus were not open to visitors during classes.
After entering Ewha University's campus, they saw a wall carved with pear blossoms. Beside the wall is the school motto, and the green pear blossom emblem is placed in the middle of the wall. The Chinese characters for Truth, Kindness, and Beauty are placed in the middle.
The first thing they see is a retro stone Gothic church from afar. Under the cover of the greenery, the cross on top of the church is very eye-catching.
Ewha University also has a special major, Christian Teaching. Maybe the students are holding classes in the church?
"It's so beautiful here!" Li Ge exclaimed. Most of the time, he is sitting in front of his computer and rarely has the chance to see such scenery.
That's right. In terms of campus scenery, no other university in Seoul can compare to Ewha University.
To be honest, Ewha University does not give off the impression of a university at first. The greenery in the campus is not as good as Ewha University's.
There are elegant European-style buildings, modern buildings, and traditional Korean-style pavilions.
Ewha University is not only a pioneer in women's education, but its campus is also a marvel in architecture.
"It's winter now, and the maple trees behind the church are all dead. Otherwise, this place will be red. It's very beautiful." Li Xu explained to Li Ge as he led the way.
"How do you know this place so well?" Li Ge asked.
"I have been here many times in the past."
"Why are you here?" Li Ge asked.
Li Xu looked at Li Ge speechlessly. "Don't worry. I am different from you. I am not here to flirt with girls."
