"Well..." Xia Hongjun told him about the process of meeting Song Zhenzhen, but he concealed the details of her sending Anemone.

"Song Zhenzhen is so awesome!" Chen Zhaodi was a little envious.

Xia Hongjun thought she would complain about the frequent meeting between her and Song Zhenzhen at Columbia University, but he didn't expect that he would say this and felt relieved.

"I have a specialty in art. She learns English. You are much better at math." Xia Hongjun said with a smile, and continued to talk about his experience in the United States.

When Xia Hongjun talked about his popular poetry exchanges with foreign teachers and students at Brother School, Chen Zhaodi was not surprised at all.

This is his most powerful thing.

But Chen Zhaodi was extremely surprised when she heard that the boy named Sun Jun left the group privately and stayed in the United States illegally.

"He is stupid? Why do you have to do this? How can you give up your studies? Then the past ten years of study have gone in vain?" Chen Zhaodi really couldn't figure it out.

"How can everyone have their own ambitions to force it? Well, let's not talk about him anymore. Let's go out for dinner and I'm hungry." Xia Hongjun said.

"I'm not hungry... Then I'll accompany you, what do you want to eat?"

"Rice-fried pork!"

I ate the foreign bread that I had been almost vomiting after eating for almost a month.

The two of them were almost inseparable from the rest of the holidays. They went to the classroom together during the day. Chen Zhaodi wandered in the ocean of mathematics. Xia Hongjun carefully wrote his summary of his study abroad. The title was "A Brief View on Improving my country's Cultural Soft Power"

First, the concept of cultural soft power was proposed: a country's comprehensive national strength includes both the "hard power" expressed by economy, science and technology, military strength, etc., as well as the "soft power" reflected by cultural and ideological attraction. Hard power and soft power are still important, but in modern countries, soft power is becoming more prominent than before.

He remembered that the concept of cultural soft power seemed to be proposed by a Harvard University professor named Joseph Nye, Jr., in the early 1990s.

Well... I was still two or three years earlier.

Immediately afterwards, he wrote about the current situation and existing problems of China's cultural soft power, such as improving China's cultural soft power, including national marketing, establishing Confucius Institutes, increasing investment in cultural-related industries, etc....

The final article points out: "Wine is also afraid of deep alleys." Innovating the overseas communication mechanism of Chinese culture, we must not only give full play to the leading role of the government, but also give full play to the unique advantages of social forces, so that social forces can be more and more fully participate in the overseas communication of Chinese culture.

To put it bluntly, as the national strength grows, we need to export culture!

Of course, this cannot be said too bluntly.

In five days, more than 5,000 words were spent, and after repeated modifications, it was finally completed.

"Zhaodi, see how I wrote it? Give me some advice." Xia Hongjun enthusiastically handed the draft to Chen Zhaodi, who was concentrating on the questions next to him.

The girl took it and took a look. She wrote a little messy, but she was used to the sloppy fonts like Xia Hongjun, so she looked at them seriously.

After a while, Chen Zhaodi looked up at Xia Hongjun with admiration: "Red Army, you wrote so well, why can't I write it?"

"Do you have specialized in art... For example, what complex function you are doing now makes me dizzy when I see it." Xia Hongjun touched her hair affectionately.

"Then I'll help you copy it." Chen Zhaodi had no choice but to act as a secretary.

"Okay, I will complete the task of sending it to the Study Abroad Department. You can concentrate on writing novels!" Xia Hongjun stretched.

But the development of the matter was beyond the expectations of the Xia Hongjun.

Time flies, and school starts in a blink of an eye

Just after the second class that morning, Xia Hongjun left the classroom and saw the counselor Jia Shu coming over.

"Xia Hongjun!"

When Xia Hongjun heard the teacher call him, he stopped.

"Do you know Professor Xu Yuanchong of Yan University?" Jia Shu's words made him feel puzzled.

I know him, but they don't know me.

Of course, Xia Hongjun could not say that, so he replied: "I have heard of Professor Xu's name, but I have never seen it before. What's wrong?"

"Professor Xu just called our department director and said he wanted to see you."

See me?

How could Professor Xu know me?

Xia Hongjun suddenly remembered that he had translated several poems in the Book of Songs at Columbia University. Could it be because of this?

But no matter what, it is also a pleasure to meet this great man in the translation industry.

So Xia Hongjun thought that Jia Shu had taken leave, got off the stairs and got off the bicycle and left the school gate, and headed straight for Yan University.

Yan Da often comes, and he is already familiar with the road, but he doesn't know where Professor Xu lives. Just as he was about to pass by, a woman wearing a red dress walked over elegantly.

It's Yang Li.

"Oh, Xia Hongjun! Today is not the day for the poetry club to gather. Why do you come to Yanda University? Find me?"

Too self-indulgent?

"I'll look for Professor Xu Yuanchong."

"Are you looking for him?" Yang Li looked surprised.

"It's not that I'm looking for him, it's that people want to see me."

"Oh...Is it because you translated a few ancient poems at Columbia University?" Yang Li was very quick and immediately thought of this question.

"I don't know very well..." Xia Hongjun replied lightly.

"Okay...it must be, don't pretend, come with me." Yang Li said.

"Why do you go?"

"Take you to see Professor Xu..." Yang Li gave him a blank look.

Walking on the road, Yang Li also told her that her "A Preliminary Talk on the Marriage and Family Views of American Youth" and "Simple Views on Improving my country's Cultural Soft Power" written by Xia Hongjun were both recognized by leaders.

"I heard that the superiors wanted to stop the short-term exchange and study project of college students when they went abroad for exchanges and study because Sun Jun was secretly staying in the United States without returning. Later, because of our sister's high-quality study summary, the superiors gave up this idea: the benefits of students going abroad for short-term study and exchanges outweigh the disadvantages."

After hearing Yang Li's words, Xia Hongjun was completely relieved. He was always worried about how much negative impact Sun Jun's affairs would have. Such a result would be the best.

In the professor's building on the east side of Yan University, Xia Hongjun met Professor Xu Yuanchong.

Professor Xu is almost seventy years old this year, with gray hair but looks energetic. After Xia Hongjun introduced himself, the two soon talked about the translation of poetry.

"Student Xia Hongjun, I have seen you translate the poems in the Book of Songs, and they are very well translated." Professor Xu said with a smile.

Xia Hongjun was humble and said that he wanted many things to ask for advice from you.

"Don't belittle yourself... I have a small suggestion. Can you translate all the excellent chapters in the Book of Songs into English? To introduce them to foreign readers?" Professor Xu suddenly asked a question.

ah?!
Chapter completed!
