Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 635 For the Confused
July is the hottest month in New York.

Because it was outside, in order to avoid the high temperature, the speech did not start until four o'clock in the afternoon.

But even so, the sun was still scorching hot, and many people below took the leaflets sent to them by Columbia and folded them into small hats and put them on their heads.

Americans are generally not afraid of tanning, but they are still afraid of heat.

It was the same on and off the stage, there was no shelter, so Zhang Zhong felt hot and sun-dried even standing on the stage, but he was not delicate and could bear it.

Besides, Ludinger who is next to him also basks in the sun even if he is not old, it's no big deal.

Before Zhang Zhong started his speech, Lüdinger took the stage and said a few words, probably talking about the Chinese Writers Association's visit to Columbia University.

Bureaucratic talk happens everywhere, and Columbia University is no exception.

Lüdinger highly praised the performance of the Chinese Writers Association in the previous seminar, showing the demeanor and heritage of a big country. At the same time, he sincerely hoped that Columbia University and the Chinese Writers Association could establish a long-term friendship, and they could have more in-depth and frequent exchanges in the future. Carry out literary and artistic exchanges, promote each other, and achieve each other.

This in-depth communication with the Huaxia Writers Association also made him personally feel the artistic influence from the far east...

Lüdinger spoke in front, while Zhang Zhong stood behind and flipped through a pile of cards.

There are one hundred cards in total, and each card has a question on it.

More than an hour ago, Ludinger sent someone to draw a hundred people who came earlier, and gave them cards, asking them to write down the questions they wanted to ask pz.

Zhang Zhong asked Lüdinger to do this. The speech was decided in a hurry, and Zhang Zhong hadn't thought about what to say. In this case, it's better to see what the listeners want to hear.

Zhang Chong looked at the card, and there was everything written on it.

Ask Zhang when the new book will be released.

Ask Zhang Chong when "The Code of Shanghe Tu during the Qingming Festival" will be released as a separate edition.

I asked Zhang Zhong if he signed a sale today...

However, there are also serious people looking for Zhang Zhong to solve their doubts, and the most involved is the confusion about the future.

This part of the problem should come from some young people-students who have just graduated or are about to graduate, or some hard-working people who are facing choices in society.

Looking at these questions, Zhang Zhong thought for a while and knew what to say today.

At this moment, Lüdinger had almost finished what he wanted to say. He smiled and turned to the side, and the camera shot directly to Zhang Zhong behind him.

"Next, please pz come up and tell everyone."

Seeing that the camera was facing his head, Zhang Zhong smiled and waved at the camera, and suddenly there was a burst of cheers.

Most of them came here for Zhang Zhong. After so long in the sun, they finally saw him. Of course they were very excited.

Zhang Zhong walked forward, nodded to Lüdinger, and then the two changed positions, Zhang Zhong stood in front of the microphone.

"good afternoon everyone."

When Zhang Zhong’s voice wafted through the loudspeaker on the campus of Columbia University, the cheers stopped immediately, and the audience below didn’t even want to miss any word that came out of Zhang Zhong’s mouth.

"The weather is good today, sunny and cloudless. If I have a glass of iced Coke in hand, I think I will be happier." Zhang Zhong started his speech with the weather, and then he smiled and said to Lüdinger , "Of course, I'm not implying anything to Principal Lüdinger."

Ludinger's figure appeared on the big screen, and the president of Columbia University shrugged his shoulders cooperatively.

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

Indeed, the weather is too hot.

But Zhang Zhong's joke brought them a bit of coolness.

There were also countless bullet screens floating on Parker's mobile phone.

[I really want to go to the scene. 】

[I haven't heard pz's speech yet. 】

[He has given speeches several times. 】

[I know, but they are all in Chinese. I searched online last time, and they were all raw meat. My Chinese is too bad to understand. 】

[I have cooked meat. 】

[Brother, give me a resource. 】

[Pz's spoken English is also amazing. 】

[Standard British pronunciation, it sounds comfortable. 】

[Nonsense, he is someone who has written books in English. 】

[I know, I just didn't know that his spoken English is so good. 】

……

Zhang Chong couldn't see the barrage in the live broadcast room, so he took out the card he had just flipped through, and continued, "I asked Principal Lüdinger to help me do a simple questionnaire, and the subject of the questionnaire is what do you want to ask me?" , or what do you want to get out of today's speech. I am doing this survey because I want to know what I can give you, I want as many people as possible to not go home after a few hours in the sun I feel like I'm getting nothing out of this trip other than wasting your precious time."

"Because there are too many questions, I won't read them one by one, but I found that some people are facing the same problem. They seem to be standing at a fork in the road of life, unable to make a choice. Such questions suddenly reminded me of In the past, people always had to make countless choices in their life. When waking up in the morning, they had to choose what clothes to wear today, and then what kind of breakfast to eat, and what means of transportation to choose to travel...Of course, we have to mention today The choices I have made have a slightly greater impact on my life than the ones I just listed. For example, which university to choose when applying for university, what major to study in the future, and what job to do after graduation. I have also faced these choices However, when I think about it now, I still have fresh memories of every time I faced a decision.”

Although there are uncertainties in the random checks, there are still scientific basis to be found. The most mentioned in the card is the choice of the future, and there are indeed more people facing such doubts at the scene.

Hearing Zhang Zhong talk about this issue, they all felt something.

In fact, Parker also faced a choice.

His current career is all related to Huaxia, so he has the idea of ​​working in Huaxia for a long time and even settling there in the future.

But such a decision is not easy, because his friends, family, all relationships are in the United States.

If he goes to Huaxia, it means that these relationships will gradually go away from him.He is about to re-establish interpersonal relationships in Huaxia.

The inability to let go of the past and the confusion about the future made him unable to make this decision.

He had no time to pay attention to the barrage, but listened attentively to the speech of pz on the stage.

"The confusion and firmness, cowardice and bravery at that time were always in the middle of the night, when there was no one, cruising wantonly between the sea of ​​​​heart and mind. Many years ago, I stood at the fork in life and watched many people choose the kind of life that everyone expects. My life, looking at the scene of that life, I watched it for a long, long time..."
