732 welcome home

"It's early."

"morning."

"Good morning."

"Have you had breakfast?"

"Do you go out to buy groceries?"

Cantonese is mixed with English and Mandarin is mixed with dialect. A palm-sized area is like a melting pot, integrating the different regional cultures of mainland China, intertwining and shuttleing into the American cultural context, and finally blending into a unique phenomenon in the international metropolis of New York, and forming a unique living environment:

Chinatown.

Chinatown located in Lower Manhattan/city is the largest gathering place for foreign Chinese in the entire North American continent and even the world. Its unique living habits retain the cultural characteristics of China, and it also opens its arms and integrates into the different characteristics of the surrounding communities, which is enough to make people dazzling and overwhelmed.

Next door is Little Italy, and the area where gypsies gather is south, and just a few blocks northwest is Little Tokyo and Korea City. In addition, the East Village where all the art creators and freelancers gather, all kinds of people on the streets become more and more diverse.

"Sen Lu, Mr. Xu and I are going to the park for a few rounds this afternoon. Are you here?"

Lu Jiayan was cleaning the cigarette butts at the door of the shop, and a familiar figure could be seen across the street and walked over happily. In addition to their busy daily life, they often gathered in a street park at the junction of Chinatown and Little Italy to relax.

The park has no official name, it is called a park. In fact, it is a palm-sized green area between busy streets. Four chessboard tables and two mahjong tables are placed. There is also a basketball court next to it, with a total of three venues. Not only are the residents nearby often relaxing here, but the children also wander here every day.

Occasionally, Lu Jiayan would go there to play chess. He didn't have many friends because his daily life was in a busy and fixed routine. He lived in New York for more than 20 years, and his neighbors were familiar with him. He could count his true close friends with one hand, and they were all chess friends.

It is said that he lives in New York, but in fact, for Lu Jiayan, there is not much difference from life in China - just like now, the dialogues are all in Chinese, and Chinese with different dialect accents are far easier and more familiar than English, and everyone's accent has never changed.

"Oh, David, doesn't it mean that tomorrow? I'll purchase the goods this morning and take stock in the afternoon, and there's no time." Lu Jiayan stood up straight and raised a question in confusion.

Standing opposite the street was Lu Jiayan's chess friend Chen Weiguo. However, when he arrived in the United States, in order to adapt to life here, he asked others to call his English name, "David", but the neighbors around him were not proficient in English, and the pronunciation was not "david" in English, but still "David" in Chinese. Over time, people forgot his original name and regarded "David" as his Chinese name.

Chen Weiguo didn't come over, but stood across the street and said loudly, "Tomorrow, it was said that the Overseas Chinese Federation temporarily organized an event to organize popular science... What kind of football is here, it's not football, anyway, it's just football. It's said that a Chinese coach is coming to the game. If you are interested, I hope we can organize it together and cheer for him. After all, if he can develop, we will all benefit, right?"

football.

Lu Jiayan's movements paused for a moment, but he was unable to respond.

Chen Weiguo didn't notice the abnormality, and still said in a nagging manner, "Look at it this afternoon, come here if you can catch up. Mr. Xu disliked me for not his opponent. You should come here to kill his majesty."

Lu Jiayan calmed down his emotions and nodded absent-mindedly, but he didn't know when Chen Weiguo turned around and left, and stood there a little absent-minded.

Wow.

Clang clang.

Ha ha.

A trivial sound came from across the street. Lu Jiayan, who was about to turn around and enter the store, looked over according to the sound and saw some of the words on the big red banner at a glance, "...Aqi-Lu Rong returned to his hometown..."

Although I didn't see the full picture of the banner, the handwriting of just a few words is enough, and Lu Jiayan didn't know what it felt like:

Archie-Lu?

What the hell is this?

At first glance, I knew that it was the people who joined the fun without knowing the situation. They didn't even know Lu Yiqi's full name. They just looked at the media's heavy and bold font, "coach-archie", and then they thought it was the name.

Green Bay Packers defeated the Minnesota Vikings strongly to enter the second round of division, and their next opponent was the defending champion New York Giants, which also became the big news that caused a sensation in the entire New York.

Although the expected showdown of "Arizona Cardinals vs. New York Giants" has not been staged as scheduled, the news media will never lack gimmicks-

Lu Yiqi, who was born in Flushing, New York, is about to return to his hometown in North America and face the native New York giants in front of his "country elders". This is another highlight. Countless New York media have begun to promote this focus duel. The "New York Times" even published "Welcome Home" as the title on the headlines of the sports page, triggering a hot discussion frenzy on social networks.

For the New York Times, this special report is not intended to attract gimmicks, but to start planning early.

Just when everyone's attention was about Kurt Warner's possible return to New York to play against his old club to end the grudge, the New York Times was ready: If the Green Bay Packers beat the Minnesota Vikings, that would be another story.

In this special report, the "New York Times" deeply analyzed Lu Yiqi's career trajectory-

Obviously, for a minority living in North America, rugby is not their first choice in life, but Lu Yiqi still chose rugby as a career, which also destined Lu Yiqi's career was full of ups and downs.

From high school to college, Lu Yiqi was unable to receive any football trial invitation from New York University; from university to become a coach, Lu Yiqi was completely isolated from the sight of many New York universities, so Lu Yiqi went to the Philadelphia Eagles, who were mortal enemy of the New York Giants in the same area.

Now, as a young coach who has created countless history and written countless miracles, Lu Yiqi is about to return to New York. Whether it is the brand of the Philadelphia Eagles or the bloodline of the Green Bay Packers, this has made Lu Yiqi stand on the "opposite" of the New York Giants. Obviously, New York fans are looking forward to the Giants' final victory; and Lu Yiqi's growth in New York further makes this relationship burst into dramatic effects.

In this regard, the New York Times keenly grasped the dramatic effect and presented a special report with ups and downs to the general public, attracting countless attention.
