the great gatsby

Chapter 50 I'm Chinese

"Wow! So handsome...!"

"I'm Cao! I'm such a man, I'm so moved!"

"I'll choke you! He's so handsome, is there any justice for him!"

"Ah!!! Gatsby, I will be your die-hard fan from now on!"

……

Before Gatsby’s exclusive interview officially started, by chance or people who were waiting to watch it were attracted by Gatsby’s stunning beauty. The video was not deliberately beautified, but because of Gatsby’s real strength. It was too bright. The ray of light happened to hit his face, as if the light had been specially lit to show off Gatsby's smooth skin and sharp facial features. This reached a shocking level. .

You must know that now is not the time when the picture quality was sloppy in the past, and the Internet has become extremely developed. The audience has long been baptized by all kinds of tough guys, beautiful boys, Korean idol groups and other beautiful stars. No matter how handsome the audience is, they can accept it. Got it.

It's just that Gatsby's handsomeness is very characteristic. The boy's handsomeness is good in skin and clear in eyes, but he loses his sophistication and stability;

The middle-aged man's Shuai Shengzai is mature, stable and deep-eyed, but because his skin has long lost its luster, he doesn't have the tender feeling of a teenager;

Gatsby's handsomeness combined the freshness of a young man with the profundity of a middle-aged man. He simply leaned on a chair with a handle, his right hand on the handle, his left hand on the table, his body half-tilted, and his left foot resting on it. On his right foot, his face is slightly sideways facing the camera, and he has a mature and steady look that has experienced the world for a long time. When paired with his tender face, it creates a magical chemical effect that makes people fall in love with him at the first sight - this person He must be a gentleman with a refined and elegant character!

"Mr. Gai, please ask the Chinese audience." Duan Ran's voice came out—he was manipulating the camera, and he was an employee of the NBA Entertainment column, so it was inconvenient to appear in this kind of exclusive interview.

"Hello, Chinese friends, I am Ga Cibi, my surname is Gai, my name is Cibi, and my English name is Ga Cibi." Ga Cibi introduced with a slight smile.

The audience in front of the TV laughed together, they thought that Gatsby was introducing Xiaoshenyang as a model.

"Hey, Gatsby speaks Mandarin very fluently, and he even uses the jokes about Xiao Shenyang so naturally. He seems to be a master of China!"

A large number of students gathered in the dining hall of Guangdong Provincial Institute of Physical Education. This is a physical education college. Most of them are sports students. Most of them like basketball. They often watch NBA news. Some of them love Gatsby. There were also those who criticized Gatsby.

"That's right, looking at Putonghua, I'm afraid I don't use it too often." A student complained.

"Stop talking and listen carefully." Some students said dissatisfiedly, and the dining hall became quiet.

"...Mr. Gai, it is said that you are a third-generation immigrant?" Duan Ran's voice appeared again.

"Yes, my grandfather is a first-generation immigrant. He is a staunch patriot. Oh, this country does not refer to the United States, but our hometown, China. Three generations of my family, including my grandfather and parents, all firmly love Our country, my grandfather helped me get my name, Gatsby is an English name, but it is actually a Chinese name."

Gatsby explained that the Chinese audience in front of the TV were a little moved. It is normal for the first generation of immigrants to love the motherland. It is very rare for the second generation of immigrants to think of the motherland, but it is too much for the third generation of immigrants to still regard China as the motherland. Rare, most three generations have been thoroughly American.

Gatsby's family has always loved the motherland. This kind of love has touched many native Chinese in front of the TV. Now there is no shortage of people who think that everything is good abroad. They always think that everything abroad is good. The awareness is not as good as that of immigrants living in foreign countries.

"Mr. Gai's Mandarin is so good, he must speak it often?" Duan Ran asked.

"Haha, my grandfather asked us to speak Mandarin at home. His original words were as follows: You can speak any language you want outside, but you must speak Mandarin at home!" Gatsby said quite interestingly.

……

In Gatsby's description, the image of a respectable patriotic elder gradually emerges.

"...When I have time, I will definitely go to China to enjoy the great rivers and mountains of our country, go to the Great Wall to be a hero, go to Mount Tai to watch the Fengchan Terrace, go to the Yellow River to listen to the roar of the elder, and go to the top of Huashan to discuss Sword, drink a sip of the Yangtze River, go to the Pearl River and take a cruise down the river, go to Qingcheng Mountain to watch the clouds... There are so many places I want to go!"

Gatsby described his thoughts in an emotional tone. He was not acting. After he was reborn, he could only bid farewell to his previous life. If there were no accidents, he would rarely return to China in this life. After all, Still a sad thing.

"Hmph, after all, he is still an American. No matter how good things he says about China, he is still an American with American citizenship. What's so hard about saying nice things!" Some people said indignantly. .

"Fuck you, Gatsby is a three-generation immigrant. How can he live in the United States without becoming an American citizen? He is in the United States, can speak Mandarin fluently, and has a deep understanding of Chinese culture. Isn't that enough!" Someone scolded.

"Maybe he directed and acted this himself. How can an American be so talented in literature and talk in parallel sentences?" someone else retorted.

"You...!" gasped in Gatsby's defense.

"Okay, okay, let's watch the interview first!" Someone came out to stop him.

"...Mr. Gai, next year is 2010, and the Turkish Men's Basketball World Championship is about to begin. If China wants to invite Mr. Gai to return to China to represent the country in the competition, will Mr. Gai agree?" Duan Ran asked, this is not Duan Ran was laying an ambush, but Gatsby specifically mentioned it before the interview.

This question is difficult to avoid. Jeremy Lin was asked this question in an interview in his previous life. Jeremy Lin said he would consider it at the time, but he was still criticized by some fans as being perfunctory. Ran mentioned this matter and asked Duan Ran to ask this question during the interview.

"Yes! No matter what my identity is, first of all, I am Chinese. This is a fact that I can never change. When the country needs me, there is nothing else to say, even if it means giving up my green card in the United States!" Gaici Bi Yi changed his smiling expression before and said with a serious face.

"Mr. Duan, please help me tell the country that if the country needs it, send me a letter in advance and I will arrange it. Of course, I have to ask you to arrange the domestic affairs."
