intellectual norms

A week passed, and the academic speech forum came to an end.

On the last day, Xia Xiaoli went to the mini program to grab the tickets as soon as the tickets were issued, but she didn't get it. This afternoon is the "star field". Two star designers from Columbia University and Hongda University gave keynote speeches and academic exchanges respectively. beg.

Of course, he was not willing to watch the live broadcast on the Internet outside, so he finally asked Qiao Yu for help. Of course, Teacher Qiao arranged a seat in the middle for Xia Xiaoli with ease. There was an extra row of seats reserved for guests. Some guests did not show up temporarily, and the extra vacancies were released to students on the same day.

Xia Xiaoli went earlier this time. What he didn't know was that during the week, those experts and scholars who conquered the students with their on-site charm on the podium had an in-depth background investigation by the students behind their backs.

When you admire a person, you always want to find out his past and present lives, and students are no exception to their respected teachers.

Especially the two who received the most attention, they all knew that Qiao Yu's alma mater was Columbia University, but he and Lin Zhihua used to be classmates?

Although Qiao Yu only studied in the Department of Architecture for more than two years and then transferred to the bridge, he was still in the same compound. Later, he went to the same school to study for a Ph.D., and stayed at the same school to teach together.

I found out that there is still such a relationship. After the information was confirmed, it became a hot topic on Hongda’s intranet. These days, people who kowtow CP are everywhere, not only celebrities can kowtow, but also classmates around them. Such handsome two Of course the teacher can knock too!

No one among the students knew that the two were once lovers, and only found out that they were once classmates, and a few photos of the two of them when they were students together on the Internet, and they were already crazy.

There are many boys in the College of Construction and Engineering. Originally, the trend of knocking on this niche CP was limited to a few girls in the college, but soon this trend spread to the entire Hongda University and to other schools. It was so dark.

The photos of Columbia College students, the two captured in the same frame on the Hongda campus at the moment, and even the passing eyes on and off the stage, every trace of clues can be intercepted from the video, proving that there is a relationship between them. Unusual", "Sparks".

Some people even saw Lin Zhihua frequently going in and out of the design building with their own eyes. They said that they made a special trip to find Qiao Yu. They saw the two chatting in the corridors, downstairs, and various places. Their expressions and body movements were not ordinary.

There is even an ironclad proof given by the master—the works of the two of them in the exhibition hall, one is called Bridge of Uselessness, and the other is called Place of No Name.

The students firmly concluded that Lin Zhihua traveled all the way here because of Qiao Yu, they SZD!

After Xia Xiaoli sat down now, she heard the students behind her talking about all of these.

He was dumbfounded.

Is this still the pure world a week ago?What did Brother Qiao do to be matched by so many people?

Kowtow your head ah what match?Didn't you see Brother Qiao's cold face every time he faced Lin Zhihua?

You just hit it hard!

I'm so angry, but I still can't stand up and defend myself. I feel that the more I explain, the more I can't explain clearly. Xia Xiaoli just waited so angrily for Lin Zhihua's speech to start.

There was thunderous applause. Lin Zhihua was a man who was free and unrestrained like a ronin when he was working. When he came on stage, he looked like a star in a black suit and gold glasses. He actually gave a speech in Chinese, with an ABC accent that was a bit strange and cute. The students in the audience thought he was even more Interesting.

The theme he talked about was "Oriental Zen in Geometric Architecture". When Xia Xiaoli saw this title, she remembered the book written by Lin Zhihua that she saw when she and Qiao Yu visited the city library a few months ago. The theme this time is similar to that This book is in the same vein.

This is also Lin Zhihua's research direction in recent years, deconstructing art from the West, and gradually approaching traditional oriental aesthetics.

The way of speech is also very interesting. He quoted a lot of Tang poems and Song Ci, Li Bai, Xin Qiji, Du Mu, Wang Wei... A Tang poem corresponds to the essence of architectural aesthetics he wants to talk about. Those buildings that are obviously geometric structures are actually interpreted Out of the remote and deep meaning.

Xia Xiaoli had to admire that traditional culture and modern architecture were integrated under Lin Zhihua's explanation.

Up to this live broadcast, the number of people watching online at the same time on a single platform has exceeded 30. Xia Xiaoli took a sneak peek at the live broadcast and was really surprised.

The speech was perfect and successful. When the last topic was finished, the audience once again gave warm applause.

Lin Zhihua bowed deeply, then stood up, and when the applause faded away, he picked up the microphone again and said, "Thank you all, and I would like to say a few words of heart to you at the end."

"I am a Chinese American who was born and raised in the United States. Since my father's generation, I have rarely been in China. Up to now, this is the second time I have come back."

"When I was a child, my parents asked me to recite poems. I never took it seriously. In fact, when I was in college, I didn't know much Chinese. The traditional oriental culture seemed to me to be ancient and backward. Until later, I started to see things differently because of one person."

"He taught me many poems, and told me their meaning and artistic conception. A quatrain, just [-] characters, can be written in a myriad of ways, and can also express my heart. Because of him, I began to understand ancient China. The architecture of Buddhism, Taoism, Zen, Taiji Yin and Yang, five elements and eight trigrams, read the notes of ancient Chinese craftsmen, the more I understand, the more I realize that this is a grand and endless world, I am deeply attracted by these.”

"That person has brought me a lot of influence. When we were classmates, colleagues, and now, when we are separated by tens of thousands of kilometers and belong to two ends of the earth, he still influences me. I think I He will influence me for the rest of my life."

"Perhaps you have guessed that the person who has influenced me the most is the next speaker, my classmate, alumni, colleague, and lover—Qiao Yu."

After Lin Zhihua finished speaking, he turned slightly to the back of the podium and made a gesture of please come to the stage with one hand.

After a moment of silence, the audience boiled for a moment, and the heat wave was about to break through the ceiling.

Xia Xiaoli's heart was beating wildly in the hustle and bustle of the room. Lin Zhihua's last long statement sounded more like a confession of affection, "lover", he used this word openly.

Although this word can be interpreted into a broader meaning under the background of the situation, Xia Xiaoli believes that this is Lin Zhihua's deliberate trick, using such intimate words that can be explained in any way, so that the spectators can Endless interpretation of his relationship with Qiao Yu.

Even after this passage, looking back at Lin Zhihua's entire speech, it was more like a romantic love letter to Qiao Yu.

Warm.Ambiguous.to.die.

Xia Xiaoli felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, she wished she could rush into the backstage and carry brother Qiao away, don't share the stage with him, don't say a word to him, in this out of control scene, even if Qiao Yu looked at Lin Zhihua coldly, she would be interpreted as "" The spark of love".

He wanted to tell Qiao Yu that that person was kidnapping you.

The people on the stage hadn't left yet, Lin Zhihua stood tall and tall, quietly looking in the direction of the backstage, Xia Xiaoli's heart was beating like a drum, Qiao Yu was going to give a speech next, he couldn't avoid it, he would definitely come up.

Sure enough, Qiao Yu's tall figure slowly appeared from behind.

He didn't seem to be affected by the warm atmosphere at the scene at all. He turned a blind eye to the inexplicable and crazy cheers from the audience, and turned a deaf ear to the inexplicable and crazy cheers from the audience. He was different from the kindness and humor he used to give speeches on the stage, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. Yingtian's enthusiasm can't melt away.

He took the microphone with one hand, put the other hand into his trouser pocket, and stood quietly on the stage, looking down at the jubilant crowd below, as if he was out of it.

Until the smile on Lin Zhihua's face gradually faded.

Until all the incited jubilation gradually faded away.
