Chapter 80 Building 37, Yàn Garden (1) [Tonight 20:…
After Liu Yan and Fan Lili got off the bus, they stood beside their luggage for a long time, staring straight at the high stone wall and the antique West Gate of Yanda University.
"This is Yenching University..." Fan Lili stood blankly and murmured.
"Yes, this is the gate built by classmates of Yenching University in 1926 with funds raised, so it is also called the classmates gate and is the main gate of Yenching University."
"This school gate is quite special..." Fan Lili said with curiosity written all over her face.
Liu Yan continued: "The school gate faces east and west. It is a classical-style building with a solemn and elegant design.
It was a famous scenic spot during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when literati and bachelors from the capital often lingered and sang here.
If you go to the Summer Palace tomorrow and see it, you will know that it is similar to the East Gate of the Summer Palace and has strong national characteristics." Liu Yan introduced to Fan Lili with great interest.
At this moment, a maroon Skoda Rosa bus made in Czechoslovakia passed behind the two people.
Liu Yan held Fan Lili's arm, turned around and continued: "This is the No. 332 bus from Yanjing. It goes from the zoo to the Summer Palace. It passes through Zhongguancun, Haidian, and Yanda along the way. The whole journey costs 2 cents."
Seeing Fan Lili looking at him with doubtful eyes, Liu Yan couldn't help but smile. He knew in his heart what Fan Lili was thinking at this moment...
Along the way, others kept asking questions, but Fan Lili remained silent, but that did not mean that she had no questions or ideas.
Liu Yan stretched out an arm distressedly, pulled Fan Lili into his arms, and kissed her on the forehead: "I know, you have many questions to ask me... Don't worry! Tonight, I will
I told you everything."
Fan Lili hummed and nodded.
In the 1970s, the area around Yenching University was full of old houses and large tracts of farmland and vegetable fields. Compared with the previous life that Liu Yan was familiar with, it was a world of difference.
After the two walked into the west school gate, Liu Yan was dumbfounded. What was going on in front of him? It was so deserted...
He asked the old guard at the gate and found out that after the movement started, the main gate of Yanda was changed to the south gate.
Liu Yan and Fan Lili immediately arrived at the south gate, and immediately saw the three bold Song-style characters "Yixin Station" printed on the red banner.
The horrifying slogans and hurtful slogans of the past ten years disappeared in an instant here.
What is left behind is the sharp-edged artistic calligraphy in front of me, just like the last ten years burned red in the charcoal fire, the mark left by time.
…
Unexpectedly, in this era, South Gate has become the main gate of Yenching University.
Looking at the south wall in front of him, Liu Yan couldn't help but think of what he had heard about Yan University in his previous life:
If the tearing down of the Southern Wall in 1993 meant emancipating the mind, then the reconstruction of the Southern Wall in 2001 was more of an independent act based on the combined action of various complex factors.
From the early 1990s to the beginning of the next century, many universities in China, including Yanda, will experience a process of vigorous development of school-run industries.
By 2001, the revenue from the science and technology industry of Yanjing University-run enterprises will reach 12 billion yuan, nearly twice that of Qinhua University diagonally across the road.
The key is that the combined industrial income of all university-run enterprises in Chinese universities is only 48.3 billion yuan, and Yenching University accounts for a quarter.
…
The two came to Building 37, Yanyuan, at the southernmost end of the Yanjing University campus: "This is the student dormitory of the Department of Economics of Yanjing University." Liu Yan said to Fan Lili.
Yanyuan Garden has been built since the early 1920s by American architect Henry Murphy.
The scenery is stunning, with lakes, towers, carved beams and painted buildings, often juxtaposed with the Summer Palace, Old Summer Palace, etc.
The architectural form in the design plan at that time drew on traditional Chinese styles.
Its basic landscape pattern, such as axis layout, triple composition, geometric green space, etc., is obviously derived from traditional Western university campuses, showing strong American influence.
In the long-term campus construction practice that followed, the unrealistic and inconsistent aspects of the plan were gradually corrected, and Yanyuan was gradually built into a campus landscape treasure that combines Chinese and Western styles, ancient and modern.
There are a total of eighty students in the Class of ’77 in the Department of Economics at Yantai University, mainly boys, with less than twenty girls.
There are government cadres like Liu Yan and Fan Lili, and more of them are educated youth who go to the mountains and countryside, workers in factories and mines, active soldiers, demobilized soldiers, and fresh graduates.
Although there are some married couples, only Liu Yan and Fan Lili were admitted to the same school and department at the same time.
When registering, a counselor smiled and said to them: "The school has taken special circumstances like yours into account. Every Saturday night and Sunday daytime, the school's guest house is open to college students and couples.
At that time, you can check in with your marriage certificate and student ID card.
But you must follow the regulations and take strict contraceptive measures. Pregnancy is not allowed at the university level..."
"A week, just, gave us a day and a night?" Liu Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and then said.
Fan Lili on the side lowered her head with shyness written all over her face.
The tutor smiled and said: "You will know after class. By then, I'm afraid you won't even be able to spare time for this day..."
Liu Yan smiled awkwardly and nodded. He quickly pulled Fan Lili away from the registration area.
Most of the people in the economics department are unmarried, and one couple is an unmarried couple.
The oldest is 36 years old and a father of two children.
The youngest is a girl, 18 years old, who is a recent high school graduate of the 77th class of Yanjing No. 4 Middle School.
…
The dormitory room is not big, with a total of three bunk beds and six students living in each room.
Girls all live on the fifth floor, and boys below the fifth floor.
When Liu Yan walked into the dormitory, he saw a classmate who was an active soldier already in the room. He was reading a book attentively at his desk.
After a while of greetings and self-introductions, we found out that this soldier was from Qin Province and was the first to report to this dormitory.
Liu Yan couldn't help but take a glance and found that he was reading the first volume of "Das Kapital" with a red pencil in his hand.
Several places in the book are marked with red sticks, and some places are also annotated.
Seeing this, Liu Yan couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart:
It seems that this class of college students is completely different from the previous ones. As soon as they registered, they began to race against time to study hard.
Many college students in previous lives seemed to have completed their life mission once they were admitted to college.
From the day I stepped into the campus, I started to relax, not want to make progress, dawdle, and even lie down...
Then, other students also reported and entered the dormitory one after another.
After a while, Liu Yan's bed was the only one left empty in the dormitory.
