Literary Master 1983

Chapter 27 Study Abroad Handbook
"We will fight back!" Yu Qie said, "I will not let anyone who has bullied me go."

Yu Minhong didn't want to cause trouble: "Forget it? Anyway, you are not injured... There are only two of us, but they have a group of people. If you run fast, I will be the one who gets beaten."

"Yu Minhong, can't you get any more people? Find some more!"

Yu Minhong was an ordinary person in the school, with no charisma. He said bitterly, "There are so many people in the Spanish department, but why should they help us?"

"You are wrong. We are not asking others to help us, but asking them to help us spontaneously!"

"What are you going to do? I just don't know." Yu Minhong said.

The May Fourth Literary Society is large in number and powerful, and Yu Minhong is simply recruiting helpers from the Spanish Department. It just so happens that many of these helpers also like literature. If a conflict arises, it would be good if these people don't turn around and beat up Yu Minhong.

However, he soon saw how Yu Qie did it.

Under his supervision, Yu Qie wrote a "Study Abroad Handbook", which was like a meticulous and detailed essay, aiming to cover all the students' behaviors from thinking mode, work, research... Of course, Yu Qi couldn't finish it, so he only listed the outline.

"Yu Qie, do you know all this?" Yu Minhong asked in surprise.

"Of course I can't know everything, but it's enough to make people think I know. At least I know this..." Yu Qi's finger stopped on a title "How to get a visa, how to make foreign friends".

Yu Qie said, “I really know this.”

Get a visa and make foreign friends?
Yu Minhong's eyes widened, he was indeed interested.

Why did Yu Minhong from the Spanish Department come to call for help? Why did he have to be from the Spanish Department?
Because people in the Spanish department are the most enthusiastic and willing to study abroad.

The Spanish Department of Yanda Class of 80 is full of talented people. In the future, billionaires, angel investors, backbone figures in the translation industry, etc. will emerge from here.

Yu Minhong is one of them, and he will become the founder of an education group.

However, in 1983, all of them had only one common desire, which was to go out, to a foreign country, especially to the United States.

Hispanic languages ​​refer to all Western languages, including English, German, French, Arabic... Among them, the vast majority of people choose English, and they love America more than Americans do.

Yu Minhong said: "I do want to go abroad, I want to make some foreign friends, once I go abroad, everything will be fine... But Yu Qie, how can you know?"

Yu Qie wrote down the content of "studying abroad, getting a visa, and communicating with foreign friends". He called this section the "Runxue Outline".

"What is Run?"

“It means to run.”

Yu Minhong watched Yu Qie write on it:

"When you make friends with foreigners and receive a gift, you must open it immediately, which can show how much you love the gift given by your friend..."

"The visa officer doesn't like you to express your admiration for the United States too much. You should first express that you love your motherland very much. You are one of the few people in this country who has the living standards of a developed country. You have no reason to stay in the United States, but in fact you have done everything you can to stay in the United States..."

"Talking about popular American literature will help you find real friends... Just like an American who has a Chinese name, can play table tennis and likes Shaolin Temple, he may not necessarily love Chinese culture, but when he talks to you about Lu Xun and how to give gifts to leaders, it means he is a real China expert..."

Yu Minhong watched Yu Qie write these contents in fascination, "I feel that America is much more attractive than the May Fourth Literary Society. The Statue of Liberty is much more attractive than Chinese poetry."

Yu Qie looked at him strangely, and said with a look that was not sure whether it was sadness or teasing: "Most people don't really like literature, they just like wearing 'jeans'."

"What does it mean to wear jeans?"

"Because jeans are uncomfortable to wear, but they attract attention. Yu Minhong, you can use these things to attract more people, and find a few agents to let them wander between the May Fourth Literary Society and my speech, and then join us at the right time."

Yu Qie's writing had convinced Yu Minhong. He said, "I'll go find my roommates. There's a very influential person there. They will definitely be able to do it."

Yu Minhong returned to the dormitory and found the person he admired the most, a classmate named Wang Qiang. This person spoke English very well, was full of confidence in people and things, and was the biggest celebrity and class monitor in their Spanish department.

Yu Minhong previously thought that the person he admired most was his friend named Wang Qiang. He admired this person to the extent that he wanted to imitate him.

"Wang Qiang, I met a new friend these days. He is an economics student who writes novels... What happened was very bizarre, and I was beaten, but I just want to tell you this, he wrote this..."

Yu Minhong took out the text. "That friend called it the 'Runxue Manual'."

"What is 'Run'?" My friend Wang Qiang asked the same question.

Yu Minhong replied: "It means run. He wants us to run, escape from here."

Wang Qiang became interested. He took it and looked at it. He was nonchalant at first, then frowned, and then became excited. "This is what I want. This is what I want to see! Who is your friend? I want to meet him, too!"

"His name is Yu Qie. He will give a speech by the Weiming Lake tomorrow and asked us to invite more people to attend."

"How many people do you want to call?" Wang Qiang asked.

"You can call as many as you want." Yu Minhong gritted his teeth and said, "We still need a few more agents. Find a chance to come."

"I am the shill!"

Yu Minhong had never seen Wang Qiang lose his composure like this before. From that moment on, the person he imitated in his heart was no longer Wang Qiang, but the new friend named Yu Qie.

He fantasized that he was as omniscient as Yu Qie, full of confidence in the future and aggressive enough to not give in to anyone.

This fantasy alone made Yu Minhong so excited that he almost trembled.

Yu Minhong lay in bed, reading the words written by Yu Qie with a flashlight, and was unwilling to go to sleep for a long time.

Wang Qiang came over and called him: "Yu Minhong, you don't want to sleep? You have to go to the Weiming Lake to attend a lecture tomorrow."

"Shall I take another look?"

Wang Qiang shook his head: "Spending more time with your friend will be more effective than learning by rote for your entire life!"

Yes, Wang Qiang is right!

Yu Minhong put down the manuscript, but he cared less about Wang Qiang. Instead, he felt that he and Wang Qiang were already in the position of Yu Qi's follower, and they were equal to each other in this sense.

So, on the second day of the first month after Yu Qie entered Yanjing University, Yu Qie gave a lecture by the Weiming Lake.
