Catching the Wind

Just like when I came to New York, the journey back was to take a train to San Francisco on the West Coast, and then take a ship back along the Pacific Northern Line.

This route does not take a particularly long time, and generally about three weeks is more than enough. Even if the Panama Canal is opened in the future, it will take a lot more time to board the ship from New York to Tianjin entirely by sea.

But Li Yu definitely didn't spend three weeks just staring at the sea. He had a lot to do.

The open sea with rolling waves was very conducive to writing the second and third parts of "Star Wars".

The main trilogy and prequel trilogy of Star Wars are the most famous.

Historically, when the second installment of the Star Wars series was filmed, Lucas was no longer the director.

The director of the second part was replaced by Irwin Kershner, but it was he who made the most exciting part of the Star Wars main trilogy, "Star Wars Episode II: The Empire Strikes Back."

I won’t go into details about the plot of Star Wars, but there are several famous places in the second part, such as the famous father joke. When the villain Darth Vader said "I am your father" to the protagonist Skywalker,

It's really shocking.

This kind of foreshadowing will definitely make people want to stop. If I stop here again, I am afraid that many readers in Europe and America will cross the Pacific to find him.

Fortunately, Li Yu had enough time to continue writing the third part of Star Wars on the ship.

Of course, it is still a running account written by a primary school student, and Li Yu mainly writes about the plot.

If you want to form an excellent science fiction novel, you have to rely on the talented Lu Bicheng.

Even if you don’t remember the plot of the third movie, you must still remember the scene in the movie where Princess Leia is wearing a very sexy lingerie and is locked up as a maid by an alien monster.

I have to say that Kelly Fisher has a really good figure...

The plot of the third part unfolds very quickly, and the fact that Princess Leia and Skywalker are brother and sister has become a super joke.

Sometimes there are father jokes, and now there are brother and sister jokes. The protagonist Skywalker is really "lucky".

But in the end, Darth Vader suddenly returned to his father, and at the critical moment he rescued Luke Skywalker, even at the risk of his own life, and his image was suddenly erected. This became the biggest challenge in writing the prequel trilogy in the future.

introduction.

After all, the mask is not taken off until the end, and there are so many stories hidden in the body, so there are many places to unfold.

Anyway, in the main trilogy, the poor protagonist Skywalker has lost both his lover and his father, while Han Solo has embraced the beautiful woman.

After finishing writing in one breath, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He had been afraid of writing essays since he was a child. If it weren't for the long journey and nothing to do, it would really make him depressed.

Sierra Xie Yuxi can't wait to see the follow-up content. Li Yu said with a smile: "It's still very rough now and can't be called a science fiction work at all."

Xie Yuxi didn't take it seriously: "It's enough to be able to see the direction of the story."

There was no other way, so Li Yu asked her to review the manuscript first.

Even if it is just a synopsis of the story, the charm of an excellent masterpiece that far exceeds the current level of science fiction cannot be concealed. Xie Yuxi said it was wonderful after watching it.

Li Yu hurriedly said to her: "You must remember to keep it secret. It hasn't been released yet."

Xie Yuxi raised his hand: "I swear to Buddha that I will not reveal a word."

Li Yu asked her: "Don't Americans believe in Protestant Christianity?"

Xie Yuxi said matter-of-factly: "Do as the Romans do. Don't all Chinese people believe in Buddha?"

Li Yu said: "It's hard to say. There are still people who believe in the Jade Emperor, the God of Wealth, the God of Earth, the longevity star, and Wenquxing."

"Are they all gods?" Xie Yuxi asked.

"Yes," Li Yu said, "it seems that you still need to continue to study Chinese culture in depth."

Xie Yuxi asked: "Christianity has only one god, why are there so many gods in China?"

Li Yu said: "China does not raise idle gods. The gods here are worshiped with incense, so the gods have to prove themselves useful."

Although Xie Yuxi has learned a lot of Chinese culture from her grandmother since she was a child, because her whole family believes in Christianity, she has not been involved in religion.

Xie Yuxi continued to ask: "Gods are gods to begin with, why do they need to prove that they are useful?"

Li Yu laughed loudly: "Chinese people only worship gods when they have needs. They worship at different times. Those who want to study worship Wenquxing, those who want children worship Guanyin, those who want wealth worship the God of Wealth.

Those who practice martial arts and worship the Martial Saint are all different."

Xie Yuxi suddenly realized: "So that's what happened! It's nothing like Christianity."

"There are so many different places," Li Yu said. "You grew up in Singapore, Nanyang, and there are still many differences from mainland China."

After the ship docked in Yokohama, Japan for replenishment, it sailed again to Tanggu Port in Tianjin.

Because Li Yu has done a lot of things in the United States this time, and has also obtained the qualification of a foreign academician of the Royal Society, plus many patents, domestic newspapers have already reported wildly.

As another little fan of Li Yu, Shi Liangcai always paid attention to the news on the other side of the ocean. Even if the information was not smooth, he would try every means to learn about American reports from the Times.

In later generations, it was easy to get news, but at the beginning of the 20th century, it really tested a reporter's level and communication skills.

This time Li Yu is completely blessed because he already has the position of foreign academician.

When the ship arrived at the port, Tianjin Customs Department Tang Shaoyi personally came with people to greet Li Yu.

"Tang Daotai, please come and greet me personally." Li Yu cupped his hands and said.

Tang Shaoyi was in a good mood: "I have to come to greet you when you return home, and you are a person who gives us a lot of face."

"Tang Daotai has a great reputation." Li Yu introduced Xie Yuxi again, "This lady is Sierra, Xie Yuxi, from the Carnegie family. Mr. Carnegie invested 8 million US dollars and established a fund to help improve our education."

Tang Shaoyi had generally heard of these big chaebols in the United States, and hurriedly said: "I'm glad to meet you. You have such a broad mind, which is really admirable!"

Xie Yuxi smiled slightly and replied politely: "It is also fulfilling grandpa's wish."

Li Yu said: "In addition, through the efforts of Ambassador Liang Cheng, the United States basically agrees to our sending international students to the United States again."

"Another great thing! Double happiness!" Tang Shaoyi was so excited that she didn't even want to smoke a cigar. "You guys have really accomplished something incredible!"

Li Yu said with a smile: "It's a long way, so you can't go in vain."

Tang Shaoyi looked at Li Yu's head again and said, "You are also very courageous."

Li Yu touched his head and joked: "It looks pretty, doesn't it?"

Tang Shaoyi said: "It looks good, but I'm afraid..."

Li Yu spread his hands: "It's also for convenience, otherwise it will hinder the view."

Tang Shaoyi sighed: "Many recruits in our Beiyang Army have also cut their hair. This is indeed the general trend, but you are still a little too hasty. After a while, when more people, especially the big shots, have their hair cut, you can do it again.

It’s not too late either.”

Li Yu knew that Tang Shaoyi was worried about his own safety, so he said, "Don't worry, Tang Daotai, everything will be fine."

Tang Shaoyi put the cigar back to his mouth, took a deep breath and said, "Even if something happens, I will help you find a solution, and I don't think Marshal Yuan will just sit idly by."

Li Yu handed over his hand again: "Thank you Tang Daotai."

Tang Shaoyi is a relatively decisive person. Anyway, the matter has come to this, so he no longer struggles and thinks about the next step, "You are our benefactor in Beiyang. If you don't cause some trouble, we in Beiyang don't know how to thank you."

Li Yu laughed and said, "Are you so anxious to repay your debt of gratitude?"

Tang Shaoyi also smiled openly: "Such a small thing is not enough to repay. Let's not mention these things for now. I will prepare a small amount of wine in the restaurant to wash away the dust for you."

In order to catch the train, Li Yu continued to the station after dinner and headed to the capital.

Fortunately, Tang Shaoyi bought the ticket early, which saved a lot of trouble.

Li Yu's return to China and the news he brought back were quickly reported by newspapers.

Nowadays, there is a lack of a shining person to boost the nation's self-confidence. Li Yu is full of buffs and is most suitable for being on the front page.

After Xie Yuxi arrives in the capital, she needs to arrange a hotel for her to stay.

Xie Yuxi requested to be closer to the cultural center, so the Beijing Hotel was the most suitable.

This hotel is amazing. It's right at the intersection of East Chang'an Street and Wangfujing Street. It's in a great location. It only takes five or six minutes to walk to Tiananmen Square. You can often see it during military parades.

If we talk about hotels that ordinary people can enter, even a hundred years later, the Beijing Hotel can be regarded as the most prestigious in Beijing, let alone those foreign-funded high-end hotels, whether it is InterContinental, Marriott or Ritz-Carlton, in front of the Beijing Hotel

They are both younger brothers, and they can overlook the Forbidden City from the rooftop of the Beijing Hotel.

It is easy for a rich person to find a five-star hotel in Beijing to hold a meeting, but if you hold a meeting in a Beijing hotel, you can brag about it for a lifetime.

This hotel was completed in 1900, but it was originally located in Dongjiaomin Lane and just moved to its new address in Wangfujing this year.

The hotel was built by the French and is still an ordinary luxury hotel, but its level of luxury ranks among the top in the capital.

In later generations, you can buy a ticket to enter the Forbidden City, but currently it is not so convenient to enter the Forbidden City.

This is convenient for Xie Yuxi. After all, the first thing any foreigner wants to see when coming to China is the Forbidden City.

Standing on the top of the building and looking out, the Forbidden City of more than 700,000 square meters was extremely brilliant. It was the first time for Xie Yuxi to see it with her own eyes, and she couldn't help but sigh: "This is the heart of the mysterious Eastern country! It's so majestic!"

After settling her, Li Yu returned to his residence.

As soon as he entered Dongchang Hutong, Li Yu saw a white cloth hanging on Ronglu's house next to his house.

After entering the house, Uncle Wang, Zhao Qian and others immediately exclaimed: "Sir! You are finally back!"

Li Yu was very friendly when he saw them and said with a smile: "Didn't I send the telegram a long time ago?"

Fengling held the message in her hand and said, "They don't understand this thing at all. I have told you several times, but they just don't believe it. They think I am clairvoyant and have good ears."

Li Yu said: "You should also learn more."

After hearing Li Yu's words, Fengling immediately began to scold the two of them: "Listen, I have said it myself. If you continue to be so uneducated, you will lose the dignity of my imperial master!"
