the great gatsby

Chapter 51 A veritable patriot!
Gatsby's categorical response surprised the audience in front of the TV. These words can't be said casually. If the Cultural and Sports Bureau really sends a letter to Gatsby, Gatsby must answer the call, otherwise He will be notorious in the country and become a villain who can't keep his word.

If Gatsby accepts the call of the Bureau of Culture and Sports and becomes a Chinese citizen, because China does not accept multi-nationality, Gatsby can only give up his American citizenship. This is not the worst thing, the worst thing is that it is likely to offend the United States fans, this may be treason in the eyes of American fans.

When Gatsby categorically stated such a decision, all the audience in front of the TV believed Gatsby's love for the country!
——A three-generation immigrant in a foreign country is willing to give up the nationality of the country of residence for the sake of the motherland, and this nationality is the most powerful country in the world;

——He is willing to risk offending the huge American fan base, and promises to the fans in the motherland that he is willing to fight for the country!

If such people are not true patriots, then who are true patriots?
Are those keyboard warriors who only insult their compatriots as traitors on the keyboard?
Gatsby’s words were not a show. He knew that it would not be easy to become the first naturalized basketball player in China. His own willingness to give up his American citizenship was a decisive factor, but the domestic culture and sports bureau may not have already prepared the naturalization process. Player preparation, because the Basketball Association has no precedent for naturalization, and no one knows how to solve the problem of naturalization.

Another factor is whether Gatsby's naturalization will hinder the growth of young domestic players. This is hard to say, because Gatsby may bring advanced foreign experience to young players, and it may also make young players lose the game. opportunities, lost opportunities for growth.

Regardless of whether it is possible or not, Gatsby must say these words. When he was in China in his previous life, he always looked at what was not pleasing to the eye, but he only knew what was good in the country after he was abroad.

The United States has never been just as democratic and peaceful as they advertise. North America is full of racial discrimination. Even if it is well covered up, Gatsby can still feel it. Moreover, many places in the United States are not peaceful, and shootings often occur case.

Only after going abroad can I understand that there is a very good saying: We were not born in a peaceful world, we were only born in a peaceful country.

Gatsby's words have spread among the fans. Although there are still some scumbags who still say that Gatsby's words are to gain the favor of domestic fans, the general public opinion has been reversed by Gatsby, and the domestic media also Let's work together to speak out for Gatsby. At this time, several international superstars also stepped up at the right time to stand for Gatsby.

Martial arts superstar Li Lianjie said in an interview: "Although I did not directly cooperate with Mr. Gatsby when I was in Hollywood, I did communicate with Mr. Gatsby. Mr. Gatsby has a mellow nature, and I can even see his eyes when he talks about China. He is a true patriot, his nationality is just what he needs to survive in the United States, and his spiritual homeland is our China!"

Chen Long, an even more important martial arts superstar of nationality, also stood up to speak out for Gatsby: "Mr. Gatsby became famous very early, and I have worked with him. He is humble, kind, and a very upright person. He He always asks me a lot about China, and it can be seen that he has a special love for China, and what is especially interesting is that he is particularly interested in spreading Chinese culture, and whenever he has time, he will always promote China to his colleagues."

Two highly respected superstars of nationality came out to speak out for Gatsby. The discussion on whether Gatsby was considered Chinese came to an abrupt end, but the topic of whether Gatsby could be naturalized was fermented. Chinese fans hoped that Chinese basketball could One step further!

In the 2008 BJ Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team led by Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi created the best record No.8 in history. Although 1996 and 2004 were also the top eight in the Olympic Games in history, the Chinese men's basketball team in the 2008 Olympic Games is recognized by everyone. The strongest in history!
Spain, the American Dream Team, Germany, Greece, and Angola. This group is recognized as the death group. The Chinese men's basketball team seems to have little hope. Except for Angola, the other four teams have no chance of winning in terms of strength. Everyone in the Chinese men's basketball team is full of morale. Yao Ming led the Chinese team to beat the American Dream Team and unfortunately lost to Spain.

In the end, they lost to Lithuania. If China had an NBA-level guard at that time, who could mobilize three players with NBA abilities, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi, the Chinese team's achievements would be limitless!

After Gatsby took the video, he stopped paying attention to the domestic situation. He knew that although he was willing to naturalize, things were not that simple. Moreover, the World Championships in Turkey will not start until August 2010, and there is still a lot of time.

In addition to Duan Ran telling him about domestic information, Long Xiaoman has also been giving him information. In order to thank him, he decided to visit Long Xiaoman's school and invite Long Xiaoman to have a meal by the way to thank him .

Long Xiaoman’s university is New York University. The reason why she knows Gatsby very well is that the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University is the school that has produced the most Oscar winners. The college has become one of the top three art schools in the United States.

It is not difficult to understand why Hu Ge wanted to study at New York University, but unfortunately Hu did not pass the language course at New York University.

As a student of New York University, you are naturally proud of your alma mater and have the habit of paying attention to Oscars. Therefore, after Gatsby was nominated for Best Actor, he came into the eyes of New York University students.

Although Tisch School of the Arts is the most famous school of New York University, New York University’s academic achievements are actually very impressive. As of October 2018, the school has a total of 10 Nobel Prize winners (ranked 37 among global universities). 18th, ranking 11th in the United States), more than 30 Pulitzer Prize winners, 19 National Academy of Sciences Medal winners, multiple Abel Prize, Emmy and Tony Award winners.

Long Xiaoman did not go to an art school or a business school, but to a law school. The law school in New York is also extraordinary. The law school of New York University is one of the six best law schools in the United States. These six top law schools are also Known as the "T6" super law school.

Gazibi was astonished. She didn't expect that Long Xiaoman, despite her cute appearance, was also a veritable academic master!
