In mid-May, at noon on a weekend, at the entrance of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, groups of young men and women come in and out from time to time. The golden sunlight shines from the blue sky, slanting on the ancient Gothic buildings, making the campus solemn and solemn and full of romantic atmosphere.

A taxi drove from the street corner and stopped on the side of the road. The door opened. A beautiful young woman with a slim figure walked down. She was wearing a white suspender skirt and sunglasses, holding a note in her hand. She entered the campus and inquired all the way, looking for the address on the note.

After walking a few hundred meters away, he arrived at a student apartment. The young woman walked in, went up to the fifth floor, came to the door of a dormitory, knocked on the door gently, waited for a while, but no one answered, as if no one was inside.

Disappointed, the beautiful young woman turned around and went downstairs to the registration portal on the first floor. She looked inside, the black aunt who was dozing off on a leather chair, smiled, tapped the window lightly, and said fluently in English: "Hello, I want to find a training official from China, one of which is Wang Siyu."

The black aunt suddenly woke up, opened the window, and said lazily: "Oh, are you here to find the king? They have an event today and volunteered in the community. They will not be able to come back late. Please come over tonight, my child."

"Can you wait on it?" The young woman took off her sunglasses and showed a bright smile on her face. She was very friendly. She stretched out her white and tender fingers and pointed upstairs.

But the black aunt waved her hand and shook her head and said, "No, no, absolutely not, this is not in line with the rules!"

The young woman was a little disappointed and frowned and said, "I am Wang's sister. I came from New York. Can you do a favor?"

The black aunt hesitated for a moment, took out the pen and paper, handed it out of the window, and said kindly: "Oh, my child, write your name on it and take the ID to see. Are you also an international student? Wang's sister? I didn't hear him mention it. Wang is great, I like him very much!"

The young woman smiled sweetly, showed her ID, and then picked up her pen and wrote Ning Lu in English in the registration box. She returned the pen and paper. She followed the black aunt and slowly went upstairs, but sighed secretly. Unexpectedly, her brother-in-law would work so hard that she didn't even have time to rest on the weekend.

The black aunt took out a bunch of keys, opened the door, walked into the room, pointed to the room on the west side, and said with a very fast speed: "This is Wang's bedroom. He also has a roommate, a fat man. It is said that he snored a lot, which made Wang feel very troubled. His bed is the one near the window!"

"Thank you." Ning Lu smiled slightly, exchanged a few greetings with the black aunt, closed the door, sat on the sofa in the living room for a while, took out her cell phone, made a call, tried several times, but still didn't make a dial, she sighed, got up and entered the bedroom.

The house is not big, only a dozen square meters, and the furnishings inside are very simple. In addition to two beds, there are two vertical wardrobes, a computer, and a few pieces of clothing hanging on the clothespin by the window. Such accommodation conditions are really simple, and they are even worse than those of second-rate institutions in China.

Ning Lu walked to the bed, took off the dried clothes, found the iron, ironed the clothes, put them back in Wang Siyu's closet, leaned against the bed, picked up a collection of Mark Twain's novels, and looked through them.

After more than ten minutes, I threw the novel next to me, picked up a diary on the bedside table, and opened it casually, but I saw the title page saying: "I will go abroad tomorrow. The three-month training time is not short. You must cherish this rare opportunity and learn more from the Americans. In order to enhance the effect, you must write diaries frequently in the future and write down the insights during the training process. Wang Siyu, May 3rd night."

Ning Lu smiled and turned the second page again, but she saw it saying: "I finally boarded the plane. This is United Airlines' UA858. I feel very disappointed. Where did these fat air aunts choose? Could it be that those blonde and blue-eyed and tall American flight attendants can only appear in Hollywood blockbusters?"

"The services they provide are also very casual. Just as I was writing, the two aunts actually pushed the food truck and started chatting with laughter. This service attitude is really unreasonable, but this may be the difference between cultures. In their philosophy, customers are not God, and they are not God. Everyone is equal. Well, I can only understand this way!"

Ning Lu frowned slightly, blocked her eyes with her hands, felt that the light was a little dazzling, so she walked to the window, pulled up the lilac curtains, returned to the bed, picked up the diary, read it carefully, and soon became immersed in it.

After more than ten hours of flight, I finally arrived at my destination safely. After lunch, due to the jet lag, everyone felt a little uncomfortable and mostly rested in the dormitory. I was better off and decided to go around the surroundings first to get familiar with the surrounding environment.

After going out, I was disappointed again. On the nearby streets, the traffic congestion was very serious. Cars often turn around in violation of regulations, and pedestrians grab red lights. Many streets were piled with garbage bags, and cigarette butts were seen everywhere. It seems that it is not too much to describe the appearance of the city by using dirty and messy appearance.

As for the first impression, this place is not as good as Yuzhou, nor is it as good as Luoshui. Am I too picky? But no matter what, you should not be superstitious about the United States. You must do your own things well and strive to surpass them as soon as possible!

Well, after visiting New Haven, I finally felt the gap. Like other places in the United States, the government transparency work here is very good. There is a special reception desk and government center in the municipal hall, which can provide good services to citizens. Whether it is a tourist inspection, consultation information, and handling procedures, the staff will patiently explain until they are satisfied.

In addition, their office information can be directly queried online, open and transparent, and accepted supervision from citizens. In addition, citizens can apply to attend various meetings in the city at any time and experience the decision-making process of government affairs in person. This is difficult to achieve in China. It is hard to imagine that when we hold a standing committee meeting, ordinary people can participate, and even interrupt the meeting process and raise our hands to ask questions.

According to staff, in New Haven, all government affairs involving the vital interests of citizens generally hold hearings or consultations before formal decisions or implementation are made to widely listen to the opinions of citizens and relevant stakeholders. Regarding citizens' complaints, zf officials are always extra cautious and dare not slacken at all. This is also something we need to learn.

All localities at all levels in the United States are autonomous, and all officials are elected through democratic elections, including mayors responsible for decision-making and city council members. Respecting public opinion, catering to public opinion, and pleasing the public are the only way to win the trust and support of voters.

The characteristic of American officials is to be charming but not charming. The mayor can shout with the vice president, but dare not offend ordinary people. He tries his best to protect the interests of the majority and ensure that the rights and interests of a few are not violated. This is a very difficult task and sometimes makes their administrative efficiency become insulting, but the people are still satisfied. On the contrary, although the efficiency is high, they are not satisfied with all aspects.

Today's course was very full, from 8 am to 20 pm. In order to strengthen the training effect, the school specially arranged some American students to participate in the training. They were very noisy and self-centered in the classroom, and they liked to show off their personality and interacted well with teachers. However, domestic officials were more steady and refused to express their opinions easily.

Lao Hu made an example, saying that Americans are like monkeys. No matter whether they really understand or not, they will jump up and down and keep yelling. Chinese people are like elephants. Whether they understand or not, they are all stuck in their hearts and refuse to say anything. In fact, there is some truth.

After dinner, Lao Hu went to bed first. His snoring sound was loud, which made people feel broken. He actually had the idea of ​​moving out. However, it would be better to bear it first, otherwise it would cause misunderstanding. This is a colorful world, and we have to resist the temptation. Maybe outside, the CIA people have already set up a trap and are waiting for us to get in. I have to listen to Lao Yu and be more responsible.

Before going abroad, Ning Shuang sent a text message saying that Sister Lulu went to the Juilliard School in New York and was very disappointed. If she also chose to study at Yale University, we might be tasting coffee now? It is not far from New York, but the courses are arranged very tightly, so it is a pity that I can't find time to see her.

Rain on May 8

Finally, it was the weekend, but the weather was not good. It was raining heavily outside. Other students hid in their rooms and played mahjong. I called the country and videoed with Yaoyao again. The little guy was very happy. He sang a few songs in succession, but became a tycoon. He never gave me the chance to chat with Sister Jingqing.

The difference here is too big and life is simple and boring. Yale University may not lack anything, but there are no beauties. Perhaps there are differences in aesthetics. In my opinion, the school beauty in Bob's eyes is terrible. This handsome black man joked yesterday that he wanted to take me to the most lively stripper bar in New Haven, but I sternly rejected it. Outside, he must establish a good image of an official and not slander the country!

The embassy staff called and as expected, they had tried their best, but they still had not contacted the woman. Miaomiao's mother was probably no longer there. Considering Uncle Cai's reminder, it is better not to contact Liao Changqing's family to avoid causing trouble.

When I was shopping with Lao Hu in the afternoon, I found an incomprehensible phenomenon that the price of domestically produced goods here is much lower than that of domestic. Lao Hu was very sensitive to this aspect and he also complained that our export tax rebate policy sometimes became the state paying money to supplement foreign consumers, but domestic people could not enjoy this kind of treatment.

I was tired of walking with Lao Hu, so I went to a cafe to rest. When I was chatting, I found a familiar figure passing by. I chased me out, but he had already gotten into the car and drove away. However, I wrote down his license plate number and believed that he would be found soon.

Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang, I didn’t expect that I could still meet in a foreign country. Should I contact the embassy and try my best to get this former Qingzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary back? I guess there is no chance, this is the United States.

May 10

After a busy day, I really wanted to relax. I found a taxi and went to the best bar Bob said. The stripper's performance was wonderful, but he was not very good at his appearance. While drinking, a black girl came to pick her up and I politely refused. This woman should be suitable for Lao Hu. Lao Hu had a hot fight with the black girl in the class recently and actually wanted to recognize her as her goddaughter. It was really shameless.
