that touch of blue

Chapter 11

The University of Tokyo is the first national university founded in Japan and one of the earliest universities in Asia. It is recognized as the highest institution in Japan and a world-renowned university in Asia.Its predecessors were Tokyo Kaisei School and Tokyo Medical School founded in the Meiji period.The most famous one is the law school, which is the oldest and most prestigious school in Dongda.

Zhanlan stands at the University of Tokyo in Bunkyo District, Tokyo. This is the place where father and mother sway their youth and sweat, and this is the place where father and mother's love is witnessed.Zhanlan smiled slightly, and stepped into the campus. There are green grass, luxuriant trees, clear water in the pool, and elegant environment. It is not an exaggeration to use such words to describe it.The campus buildings of Dongda University are mostly dark brown, surrounded by green shade, patchwork and unpretentious. Living and studying in such a quiet and simple environment, can teachers and students not focus on profound knowledge and create impressive achievements?But for tourists, the lush tree-lined avenues, the solemn and elegant school buildings, and the students coming and going in a hurry will also make people feel envious and happy.

Walking into the main entrance, you can see dozens of ginkgo trees with a circumference of 3 meters and a height of more than 10 meters lined up on both sides.It is said that these trees were planted more than 100 years ago by the new chief executive Hamao in order to create "a solemn and solemn atmosphere that makes thousands of people stand upright as soon as they step into the main gate". In 1948, when the University of Tokyo selected the school campus, the ginkgo leaf pattern drawn by Professor Hoshino Shoichi jumped to the top of the list among the many applied pattern works, so it was adopted.Later, this pattern was widely used in publications and student ID cards of the University of Tokyo.The otherworldly beauty that ginkgo trees bring to the campus is very fascinating.

At the end of the ginkgo tree is the tall and majestic Yasuda lecture hall.This is the place where the University of Tokyo holds important gatherings.On the four sides of the top of the six-story main building, there are four large white clocks inlaid. Against the background of the dark brown walls, it is particularly eye-catching. Its outer wall is somewhat peeled off due to weathering.There are more than 100 years of cultural accumulation here... that is, since the Meiji era, China's "Zhuzi Neo-Confucianism" has been abandoned and Western European "Mathematics-physics" has been adopted.Its pointer drives the pulse of the University of Tokyo, day after day, year after year, leaving deep traces in the history of Japanese education. From 1968 to 1969, students from the University of Tokyo and Nihon University launched a nationwide student movement, and on January 1969, 1, an offensive and defensive battle broke out with the police in Yasuda Lecture Hall, and many students were arrested.This is a well-known event in contemporary Japanese history.

On the south side of Yasuda Lecture Hall is the famous "Xinzi Pond". The shape of the pond is very similar to the word "Xin", so its official name is "Yudeyuan Xinzi Pond".The Japanese writer Natsume Soseki described it in the novel "Sanshiro", so people also call it "Sanshiro Pond".There are very old tortoises in Sansi Langchi. They float leisurely on the water, stretch their necks and look up at the sky. It is easy to think of ancient philosophers.Standing on the 40-meter-high hill next to the pool, you can watch the entire Tokyo city and the beautiful and magnificent Mount Fuji.

Sansilang Pond, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has beautiful scenery, is adjacent to the university comprehensive library in the west.Walking into the library, teachers and students can feel a ubiquitous rigorous academic atmosphere.The University of Tokyo has a total collection of more than 660 million volumes, including more than 300 million volumes in Western languages, which are distributed in more than 60 academic departments, research institutes, and libraries and data centers of relevant departments.The comprehensive library has a collection of nearly 100 million books and nearly 4 periodicals, and the school orders nearly 20 new books every year.The library of Dongda University has an open-shelf reading room and a free reading room, which are not only open to current students, but also open to the public. Graduates can come in and relive student life as long as they hold an admission card or a graduation certificate.For the students of Dongda University who study hard, the library of Dongda University is an important post in their growth process.

My mother once mentioned the "May Festival" held by the University of Tokyo. The "May Festival" is a large-scale comprehensive event held by the University of Tokyo in the middle of May every year. "May Festival" is called "Great Garden Fair".In the beginning, the scale was not large, and the main purpose was to strengthen academic exchanges and good relations between various departments.The scale of the original "Great Garden Fair" was that beer companies provided advertising beer, and university teachers and students gathered on the sports field to "cheers" with beer.Later, the scale was gradually expanded, and some facilities of the school were opened to the general public, and various activities were carried out.Since 1936, it has been officially called "May Festival".During this period, the normally quiet campus in Hong Kong suddenly became colorful and bustling.From the ginkgo tree road between the main gate of the school and the Yasuda lecture hall to the front of the general library, there are various restaurants.The research rooms of each academic department display unique and unique exhibits.In the Yasuda Lecture Hall, the University of Tokyo student bands, jazz bands, rock bands, and ethnic bands held various concerts, screening venues, and drama venues were crowded with people, and the scene was grand...

Whenever my mother mentioned it, my father always hugged her happily. They met again at the "May Festival" that year, and they got acquainted and fell in love.University students and professors saw this young girl wandering alone in the university campus, the dv in her hand was constantly filming something, black ponytail, blue eyes, small lips, delicate face, Simple dress, you have to praise her as the classic work of the creator.

"Seiichiro, why did you come here?" A 20-year-old woman flew into her boyfriend's arms like a butterfly flying among flowers.

"It's off work, I'll pick you up after class." The man smiled gently, and took his girlfriend's heavy satchel.

"Seiichiro, look at that little sister, I think she's so beautiful." The woman pointed to Zhanlan who was taking a picture next to the Xinzi Pond in front of her boyfriend without any hesitation.Seiichiro looked in the direction of his girlfriend's finger, and it happened that Zhanlan turned around to adjust the camera, ready for the next shot.

Seiichiro couldn't help but to sign, not for anything else, just for the girl's azure blue eyes, the rare azure blue eyes.

Seeing that her boyfriend didn't respond to her words, the woman shook her boyfriend's arm in dissatisfaction: "Seiichiro, did you hear me? Isn't that little girl pretty?"

Seiichiro came back to his senses, smiled at his girlfriend apologetically, and when he turned his head again, the girl with blue eyes had disappeared, and the man asked eagerly, "Xiuko, do you know who that girl was just now?" ?”

Xiuzi shook her head: "I don't know. At nine o'clock in the morning, seeing her getting off a Mercedes, most people looked at Dongda with excitement, but she seemed indifferent, just so superficial." With a shallow smile, she smiled and took pictures of every scene in the school. At that time, she felt that the scene was so beautiful, and almost everyone watched her pass by. But she should have finished transferring the school from this look. "

"Oh, so that's how it is." The man replied, still looking at the girl's figure, but to his disappointment, he never saw it again.

At this time, Zhanlan returned to the starting point, standing at the gate of Dongda University, thinking about how to get to Arina Forest Park, although she said that she could take a taxi, but the price was expensive, even though her mother was in Cali I saved a lot of money for her, but I can't spend it indiscriminately.

Zhan Lan looked around while looking for the bus stop, and kept checking the time on her phone.Brother Renzu asked her to arrive at the competition venue before 11:30 p.m., and it is now [-]:[-]. The competition venue and Dongda University are one in the east and the other in the west. If you don’t hurry up, maybe the nagging sheep will start nagging again nagging.

She got on a car with few people, and she asked the driver to make another transfer after getting off the bus. Although there is a subway, the subway also needs to transfer, so it is better to take a look around on the bus scenery.Zhanlan is used to sitting at the back of the car, she likes to look at other people's backs, and doesn't like others to look at her backs.The car was driving on a smooth road, when the phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number.

Zhan Lan picked up the phone, and the other party seemed to be in a vegetable market. There was noise and shouting, and the mother sheep yawned and asked, "Hey, Lanlan...sister, where... are you now?"

"In the car." Zhan Lan said with the phone between her shoulders.

"Hey, a taxi? Then... Sister Lanlan... When will you...arrive?" Akutagawa became more and more confused when he spoke, and he began to slur his speech after yawning. After calling, he said excitedly: "Lanlan, when will you arrive, why don't you ask Atobe to pick you up by car?"

Xiang Ri's arbitrariness made Atobe very dissatisfied: "Xiang Ri, what do you think of me, driver, huh?"

Xiangri hid behind his partner Shinobu, avoiding Atobe's sight, and continued: "Lan Lan, be careful on the road, just call this number when you arrive, and I'll pick you up."

"Oh, good." Zhan Lan felt a little sleepy, and wanted to lose the phone, leaning against the window and squinting for a while.

"Okay, that's it, bye." Xiang Himi's eyes became more and more wrong, and he immediately hung up the phone.

Before she could say that she was on the bus, Zhanlan heard the busy tone of the phone. She had no choice but to close the phone, put it in her backpack, and fell asleep with the backpack leaning against the glass.

Atobe, who drove all his teammates to dinner, was holding a mobile phone, standing under a tree, looking at the girl's phone number in the address book, he frowned, whether to pick her up after repeated deliberation , he still made up his mind to dial the number that he had read silently several times in his heart, but until the voice prompt appeared, the owner of the number still did not answer his call.Atobe's brows are furrowed even more, and they are tangled together. If someone from the support group sees it at this time, there will be a beautiful and crazy girl singing: "Master Atobe's frowning is so beautiful."

Several calls in succession failed to get through, and no one answered even with the mobile phones of Ninzu, Akutagawa, Xiangri and others. Zheng Xiang was sleeping on the bus, so fragrant that the uncle driver couldn't bear to wake her up.Until it was almost at the terminal, the uncle driver gently parked the car on the side of the road, and patted the sleeping girl's shoulder lightly. The girl opened her hazy eyes and looked at the driver with blue eyes, with reddish cheeks, Super cute, the driver uncle thinks so, as cute as my three-year-old daughter.

When she learned that she had been sitting in the station before, Zhanlan stood up with a "chuckle" and rushed to the door of the car. Before getting out of the car, she asked where it was. The driver said "Qingxue" and drove the car away. gone.

Zhan Lan stood on the platform and touched the back of her head, what is the green hole?An acupuncture point in the human body, or a place name?But she had only heard of temples, not blue holes.

Zhanlan caught a girl who was about her age and asked again, and the answer she got was still "Qingxue", Zhanlan was even more confused, but then she thought, never mind, let's look at it first.But the stomach protested to her seriously at this time, she had to feed her stomach first, looking around, there was no one suspected to be a place to eat.
