Chapter 570 Great Depression (10)

On May 4, the Youth Day of the Republic of China. This day is not a national holiday, only high schools and college students participate in related activities. In the afternoon, the presidium of the International Human Rights Organization convened Zhao Tianlin to the junior high school of Shanghai Fudan University Affiliated Middle School where his youngest daughter is located

After picking up his daughter after school, he went straight to the hotel he had booked.

The youngest daughter pulled Zhao Tianlin and said while walking that although they were all children, Zhao Tianlin was still very happy to hear it. He has been running around over the years and has not been spending much time with his family. At this time, he was invited by his alma mater, Harvard University, to go to the United States.

I attended the 140th anniversary of Harvard University. I went there for at least three or four months, and I felt very happy as long as I was by my daughter.

The little girl chattered, suddenly remembering that today was Youth Day, so she asked, "Dad, why is it Youth Day today?"

"Because 11 years ago, the 54 movement broke out in 1919. That was the first time that young students collectively devoted themselves to the action of saving the country and the people." Zhao Tianlin explained to his daughter, but felt a sudden feeling in his heart. 11 years

It wasn't too long before. Zhao Tianlin could even remember going to Northeastern University and asking students to march in an orderly manner so as not to affect the normal lives of citizens. Now 11 years later, everything has changed. That's not a thing

Right and man have changed, but are turned upside down.

The daughter didn't feel her father's mood, and she asked in confusion: "Dad, isn't there a coming-of-age ceremony in our Chinese tradition? Why don't you use that day as Youth Day?"

Zhao Tianlin couldn't help but smile, "Haha, then tell me, what day is the coming-of-age ceremony?"

The little girl only knew about the coming-of-age ceremony, but she didn't know it. After being asked by her father, she simply grabbed her father's arm and said, "Dad, come and listen."

This knowledge was completely difficult for Zhao Tianlin, so he explained it to his daughter. The pre-Qin coming-of-age ceremony was changed with clothing as its biggest feature, and the most special one was the crown and hairpin on the head. Therefore, the men's coming-of-age ceremony was called the "crown ceremony".

Women are called "hair rowing ceremony".

The age for holding the coming-of-age ceremony is fixed at 20 years old, while the woman must determine whether she is allowed to marry or not. The promised wedding ceremony is performed at the age of fifteen, otherwise the wedding ceremony will be performed only at the age of twenty.

The place is held, and the location is chosen in the sacred place of the ancestral temple. The day must be determined by divination. On the day of the ceremony, the host must invite relatives and friends to watch the ceremony before it is formal.

After listening to my father's story, the little girl realized that it was because of the fact that the coming-of-age ceremony in China was a fixed age, but no fixed day. She was afraid that my father would criticize her, so she hurriedly said, "Dad, you are so good at learning."

Zhao Tianlin knew his daughter's little thoughts and didn't want to say anything more. But as an educator, Zhao Tianlin couldn't help but say, "Knowing what you know, but not knowing what you don't know, is knowing."

Maybe the little girl didn't want to say anything about this. Or maybe she saw her mother waiting at the entrance of the hotel, she shouted, "Mom." She dragged Zhao Tianlin to run towards her mother quickly. The whole family met in front of the hotel, happily

We entered the hotel together.

The food was very rich, and it was almost done. Zhao Tianlin told his wife and daughter about his departure to the United States. Mrs. Zhao frowned slightly, "I always feel that Harvard University should not have been established for only 140 years."

"Madam, you're right." Zhao Tianlin nodded in agreement. The predecessor of Harvard University was established in 1636 and was first created by the colonial legislature of the Massachusetts. It was originally named "New Citizen Academy".] In order to commemorate the generous support given to the college in the early days of its establishment, it was founded.

Pastor John Harvard, the school was renamed "Harvard College" in March 1639. In 1780, Harvard College was officially renamed "Harvard University".

Mrs. Zhao already felt that the United States was deliberately promoting Sino-US friendship, and after listening to her husband's introduction, she was even more certain. Mrs. Zhao sighed, "It would be fine if she went to give lectures, it was just a school anniversary. Do you really want to go?"

Zhao Tianlin's daughter looked unhappy at this moment, and grabbed Zhao Tianlin and asked, "Dad, don't go. Should I be with me at home? I want you to pick me up every day."

Zhao Tianlin felt soft, but knew that he could not agree to his daughter's request. He reluctantly smiled and said, "Be good, now you don't have to run on the sea for a month when you go to the United States. You can fly from China to Europe by plane for up to four or five days. From Western Europe to the United States

, at most one week. I won’t stay in the United States this time and I will come back in one month.”

Mrs. Zhao knows that although her husband has left the government, she is unable to rest. As a world-renowned scholar, Zhao Tianlin is an honorary professor at several famous universities in Europe and has to go to Europe for academic exchanges every year for several months. Now China's international status has soared.

, The United States is in an economic crisis again, and the United States naturally hopes to establish closer economic and trade relations with China. Zhao Tianlin just said that the letter was personally handed over to Zhao Tianlin by the consulate of the US Consulate in Shanghai. It can be seen that Harvard University has been with the United States in this matter.

The government has the same position.

Mrs. Zhao pulled her daughter to her side and advised: "Your father won't come back for a few months this time, so you can study hard at home. When your father comes back, you can show your father the exam results."

After saying this, Zhao Tianlin's daughter dared not make trouble. Zhao Tianlin has always been serious in taking the children's academic performance. Although Mrs. Zhao has been taking care of the children at home over the years, every time Zhao Tianlin inspects the children's learning progress, the little girl is a little

Can't bear it.

On May 6, Zhao Tianlin took his luggage, said goodbye to his family and headed straight to the airport. Zhao Tianlin was really excited along the way. The plane to Europe this time was the latest China's aircraft, and it was the first time to fly on an international route.

.

When he got on the plane, Zhao Tianlin saw that there were many foreigners on the plane. When they heard their tongue rolling sounds, they should be Soviet personnel coming to China. Zhao Tianlin did not talk to them, and took out the documents and read them. As a non-governmental person,

Zhao Tianlin is now famous all over the world as the convener of the presidium of the International Human Rights Organization. European and American governments are very dissatisfied with Zhao Tianlin's job. International Human Rights Organizations have branches in various countries, and each country's branch must submit at least one human rights report every year.

The report is naturally not a praise for the praise, and governments of various countries do not like the content of the report on the human rights situation in their countries. Many of the pro-government media in various countries call members of international human rights organizations 'dung-picking experts', accusing international human rights organizations of just knowing how to go

Describe the worst side of each country.

Zhao Tianlin believes that such reports are very valuable. In this world full of sins, if those crimes are not exposed and noticed by the public, the world will not be able to make progress. Moreover, among all countries, only China and the Soviet Union are truly concerned about it.

The issues in our country will be improved. Other countries will basically not make any improvements. For example, the United States had a question about slave labor two years ago, but it is still the nephew who is still lanterning, as usual.

According to a report by the US branch of the International Human Rights Organization, the United States has far more than slave labor. Because the US law supports the use of child labor in the industrial and agricultural fields, there is no opportunity for legal prosecution. American child labor is not to help the family after school.

The kind of children who are used as laborers are dolls. Since the United States does not adopt an 8-hour working system every day, child labor not only pays only one-quarter of the salary of adults, but also works 8-12 hours a day.

The United States is now in a major economic crisis, and the environment for millions of child laborers in the United States is even worse. The American black-hearted companies do not even pay child labor wages, but just take care of a meal.

After reading the report and looking at the watch, two hours passed. After closing the document, Zhao Tianlin only felt in a bad mood. If he wanted to solve the problem of child labor according to the American political system, it would be impossible for a few decades to solve the problem of child labor.

Zhao Tianlin didn't expect that he was still too optimistic. In He Rui's time and space, after 2030, 100 years now, American laws still allow the use of child labor. The protection of child labor in the United States has not made much progress, and the situation of child labor

Although it has decreased, the squeeze received has not been reduced.

The noise in the cabin was quite loud, and Zhao Tianlin quickly became drowsy. He simply put his earplugs on his eyes and rested. It was not until a cheer that woke Zhao Tianlin up, and Zhao Tianlin realized that he was actually asleep. The Soviets were cheering.

Zhao Tianlin couldn't figure out why these Russians were so excited. The secretary said to him with an excited look: "Professor Zhao, you will be in the Soviet Union in less than two hours."

Zhao Tianlin felt that this time was wrong, so he stopped for more than two hours in the middle of the plane. Before he could ask, the secretary immediately explained: "Professor Zhao, this new aircraft can continue to fly for 7-8 hours. If you don't encounter any special ones,

Bad weather, we can fly for 4,000 kilometers. At this speed, we will arrive in Amsterdam tomorrow."

After pushing his glasses, Zhao Tianlin saw the Soviet personnel talking happily, with a happy look. Zhao Tianlin felt that if these people were happy to be able to go home as soon as possible, it would be completely in line with the super-shelf of China's new aircraft.

The convenience brought by long voyages. You may not be able to go to Amsterdam tomorrow, but you can go to Moscow tomorrow no matter what. Most of the Soviet personnel who are on business trips to China now set off from Moscow.

Zhao Tianlin was about to ask something else, but stopped. Because an idea came up, if this new passenger plane had a range of more than 4,000 kilometers, he could set off from Amsterdam, fly across the Atlantic Ocean, and land directly in New York. After all, American pilots were

He flew across the Atlantic Ocean two years ago, proving that the plane could complete such a job. If so, it would be possible for Zhao Tianlin to travel from Shanghai to the East Coast of the United States within half a month.

Zhao Tianlin couldn't help but feel excited when he thought of going home early. However, after asking the flight attendant, Zhao Tianlin realized that the route between China and the United States has not yet been opened. Even if Chinese planes can really fly across the Atlantic Ocean, they will enter the country illegally after entering US airspace.

Zhao Tianlin sighed after hearing this news. Unfortunately, he had another thought, can he promote this matter? The future personnel exchanges between China and the United States will only increase, and fast commercial flight routes are good for both countries.
