Genius One Second Remember If You Want To Go? The Internet provides you with exciting novels to read.
When school was about to end, Li He was reading a novel in the classroom. He Fang handed him a letter with an English postmark and a Chinese address. It looked like it was sent from the US.
Li He knew that Wang Yu was probably the only one who could do it.
Towards this girl who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Li He felt more awkward.
Li He opened the envelope and read it seriously. His handwriting was beautiful:
Hello, Li He. I have heard from you that I have settled down at Purdue University in the United States. In the past year, I was shocked, surprised, and nervous. I could not care less about homesickness. I also did not know how to write to you and describe my experiences.
I do not know how to show you this poverty gap. We are still a poor country, but the World Bank's real GDP per capita in the US is more than 10,000 USD, and China is only a few hundred RMB. In fact, our per capita income is less than a fraction of the US. A meal for an ordinary person here is more than our annual income. How can I not be afraid of this huge difference?
That kind of shock made every part of my body tremble. If I did not experience it myself, I would not be able to understand it.
To be honest, as a person, I am shaken. No matter how miserable life is in the US, at least you can drive a car and live in a bungalow. This is acceptable for most people.
What about us? There are even people who bring their tobacco pipes to light their cigarettes.
But as a nation, if all of China's students are working generation after generation, this is unacceptable.
This will not be able to give back to China and make China a truly modern country. China has not completed the transition from an agricultural society to a modern society. During this transition, there are too many things that cannot be done with science and technology.
But I want to say that I am still far away from graduation and have more time to think about whether I should stay or leave. I cannot give you an accurate answer now.
I hope you can apply to study in China as soon as possible. Although most people will need to wait until their third or fourth year, I do not have the opportunity to apply. But I believe that with your hard work, you will not have any problems.
According to the newspaper, the TOEFL test will be piloted in China. This way, you do not need to take the test in Hong Kong.
Li He, I hope you can come and see the wider world. I know your family background, and this is also a chance for you to change your fate.
You are a very confident person. It is not confidence in your own destiny, nor is it arrogance. It is confidence in the nation as a whole. You are confident that the society will become better, and you are confident that the country will become stronger.
"Give the Chinese thirty years, and even if they can't beat the United States, they can still trample Britain and France!"
Those should be your exact words. I was infected by your confidence, really.
In the past year, based on what I have seen and heard, I feel that it will be very difficult for us to catch up. 20 years ago, we shouted the slogan of catching up with Britain and America, but what happened? The gap between them grew wider and wider.
But it doesn't matter. It's all because you and I are young and ignorant. Therefore, I hope that you can come out and take a look as well, so that we can improve together.
I'm very sorry if I've caused you trouble before.
I wish you happiness and success in your studies.
After reading the letter, Li He's face was burning hot, as if he had been slapped.
This was clearly a breakup letter. She had done so much foreshadowing just to say the last sentence, 'I'm dumping you.'
Seeing that I'm sincerely looking forward to you going abroad, and you still want to see how hard you work? You're such a lazy person, and you might not even be able to go abroad in your life.
What it meant was, 'I was blind before, and I didn't see the world, so I thought you were good.
Now I've seen the world, a small car, a small house, and I won't listen to your lies anymore. You're just a commoner. Bye bye, stay where you are. '
Although he was unhappy, Li He was not so fragile. He directly folded the letter and put it into the pages of his book. He Fang came over and said, "You have friends in America? I looked at the postmark, it's from America. Your face is pale. What happened? " “
He Fang and Zhao Yongqi took over the maintenance work, and suddenly became little rich women. They ate, dressed, spoke, and obviously had a different aura. Not only was she grateful to Li He, but she also took care of him in school.
Li He exhaled and said, "It's nothing. I have a classmate who went abroad to study. He wrote me a letter. When are you going home? Did you buy the ticket? " “
I'll leave the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, Zhao Yongqi and I will treat you to dinner. You can invite Su Ming too. We'll meet at the Old Li's restaurant at the end of the alley. "He Fang finished speaking and handed a form to Li He." This is the application form for government-sponsored students. There are only 120 students in the whole country. Now the school is screening internally, and we'll officially register with the Education Commission in February. You can try it. "
Li He did not take it, but said directly, "Give it to someone who needs it. I'm only in my second year, and I'm not in a hurry. Besides, I'm not interested in going abroad."
During the school holidays, Li He bought the train tickets for him and Zhang Wanting. He did not want to go anywhere in the winter, so he stayed at home like a bear.
"Classmate Zhang Wanting, have you really thought it through? Don't you want to go home with me to meet your in-laws?" Li He lit a cigarette and sat under the stove, watching Zhang Wanting, who was busy in the kitchen.
Seeing that Li He had lit another cigarette, Zhang Wanting said, "I'm not going. Wait until you graduate. Smoking is bad for your health. Quit! "
Li He answered proudly, "I can't quit. My grandpa smoked, and so did my father. I can't stop smoking."
Zhang Wanting was so angry that she threw the rag in her hand at him. She felt that they had finished all the quarrels in their lives in this small room.
Li He sighed, "I lived a miserable life when I didn't have a wife. Now it's better. "
"Don't talk nonsense with me. If I knew that you were so bad when I first met you, I wouldn't have agreed." Zhang Wanting was so angry that she felt her teeth itch. She seemed to hear the sound of the door opening and footsteps outside. She turned her head and saw Su Ming. She said, "You two can talk in the central room. I can handle the kitchen alone. Mingzi, have you eaten? "
Su Ming's hands were in his sleeves. He was so cold that he was shivering. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sister-in-law, I've eaten. You go do your own things. I have something to talk to you about. "
The two entered the central room, opened the door of the stove, and added some carbon. Su Ming said, "Brother, those Wenzhou guys are all over the street. Damn, it's such a cold day. Why aren't they resting? These people only care about money. As long as you say the word, I'll cut them right away. "
Li He added some water to the teapot and said, "They're making glasses and buttons. What's wrong with you? You have to learn from them. Ordinary people don't have this kind of ruthlessness. Don't look down on them. It's better not to mess with them. Southerners are the most united. Wenzhou, Chaoshan, Hakkas, which one of them is easy to mess with? Remember, it's important to be kind to others. Harmony brings wealth. Don't look down on them. "
Su Ming tilted his body, rubbed his hands and said, "Are they really as rich as you said? That's why I thought you were exaggerating when you said that a button wouldn't earn you a single cent! "
Li He smiled and said, "You haven't heard of it. Nine out of ten Wenzhou guys are businessmen, and one of them is good at accounting. Many of them have been doing business since the early seventies. Besides, they're originally from overseas. Who doesn't have relatives abroad? But they've always been low-key. They do wholesale and retail. Many a little makes a mickle. Don't look down on the knowledge. Try to be friends with them and learn a few tricks. But don't be fooled by them. You're still not smart enough. Help them if you can. By then, you'll have friends all over the world. "
Being ridiculed by Li He, Su Ming shrunk his head and didn't want to say anything. He said unwillingly, "Got it."
The low-key Wenzhou people at this time could only shock the whole of China in a few years. So what if they were Wenzhou people? They were so good at making money. Maybe they were the real economic pioneers in China.
