case-in-case

C University has a history of more than 800 years. It is a research-oriented academy federal university located in London, England. Although the university itself is public, it is composed of private academies enjoying a high degree of autonomy. The academies have their own management framework and recruit students. and schedule of courses and activities.

C University recruits students from all over the world, so the students of C University come from different countries and have different races.

In 2003, Jiang Jingtong was 20 years old and had been studying at C University for a year.

Jiang Jingtong's father died in a traffic accident when he was nine years old, and his mother died of illness when he was 11 years old.Although his parents are gone, Jiang Jingtong still has an older brother Jiang Jingyu.

Jiang Jingyu is 13 years older than Jiang Jingtong, because his mother repeatedly told Jiang Jingyu to take good care of his younger brother when she was dying. Jiang Jingyu agreed to his mother, so after his mother passed away, Jiang Jingtong fully realized what it means to be an elder brother like a father--being a brother is like being a father I love you as much as I do——Jiang Jingyu loves Jiang Jingtong so much that he almost loves him to the sky——If you want the wind, if you want rain, you want it, if you want the stars, you don’t want the moon. ——It’s completely a brother-in-law.

Later, Jiang Jingyu married Ye Anan, and there was one more person who loved Jiang Jingtong. Now Jiang Jingtong realized what it means to be like a mother.

Ye Anan is the youngest child of the Ye family. She has been loved and cared for by her family since she was a child. When she was with Jiang Jingyu, Jiang Jingyu loved her very much. Therefore, Ye An'an almost concocted the love of her father and brother and Jiang Jingyu for Jiang Jingtong.

Jiang Jingtong is also very good, just being hurt and pampered like this is not bad, the test scores are the first in the family, and he is excellent in mathematics, physics, chemistry and language - of course, this is due to the Jiang family's super good genes and super high IQ is high, even if the parents who have passed away are not counted, his brother Jiang Jingyu is also an outstanding elite talent.

Because of his excellent academic performance, Jiang Jingtong took the time to learn calligraphy and martial arts, which made a group of scumbags in the school who were still studying books desperately jealous!

Jiang Jingyu is in favor of Jiang Jingtong's learning of calligraphy, because to practice calligraphy, one must eliminate distracting thoughts, concentrate one's mind, forget everything, and apply strokes through scientific fingering, arm, wrist, and body techniques.

Moreover, practicing calligraphy requires full devotion, single-mindedness, elimination of distracting thoughts, and writing one's own feelings on paper with a soft brush, so that people can enter a relaxed and comfortable state, which is very beneficial to physical and mental health. It is also a good precipitation for the impetuousness of young people.

Calligraphy is the quintessence of China, and Jiang Jingyu himself loves it very much, so Jiang Jingyu believes that learning calligraphy for his younger brother will help him cultivate his temperament and self-cultivation; Ye Anan will not object, Ye Anan's father, Mr. Ye is a calligraphy fanatic, Mr. The thin gold body in one hand is silver hook iron painting comparable to that of calligraphy masters.

However, for Jiang Jingtong's learning of martial arts, Ye An'an has some complaints - learning martial arts requires hard work, and Ye An'an is reluctant to let his smooth and slippery child suffer hardships, what should he do if he bumps into it?

However, Jiang Jingyu supported his younger brother because he was worried that Jiang Jingtong spent too much time studying and lacked exercise, which would be bad for his health. It would be good for Jiang Jingtong to learn some martial arts to strengthen his body, so Jiang Jingtong went again with the support of his brother and the slight worry of his sister-in-law. Learned martial arts.

Later, Jiang Jingyu's son Jiang Jianhui was born!

Jiang Jingtong likes the chubby Jiang Jianhui very much, because with Jiang Jianhui, he is finally not the youngest in the family.

Jiang Jingtong's treatment of Jiang Jianhui is completely a copy of Jiang Jingyu and Ye An'an's self - almost spoiled - even Jiang Jingyu's own father wants to educate his son occasionally, and Jiang Jingtong protects him like something.

Originally, Jiang Jingtong thought that his life would continue like this forever. Having a brother, sister-in-law and nephew, life is so beautiful!

Until, China joins WTO!

China officially became a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) on December 2001, 12, and its foreign economic exchanges have been fully opened and deepened day by day.

Why does China's entry into the WTO affect Jiang Jingtong's life?

Because after China's accession to the WTO, as foreign trade exchanges have become more frequent, trade frictions and economic disputes have emerged one after another, the requirements for the lawyer industry have become more diverse and complex, and there is an urgent need for high-level talents in related fields.

Jiang Jingyu runs a large-scale law firm. With China's accession to the WTO, many transnational economic disputes and trade cases need to be handled by Jiang Jingyu's law firm. Jiang Jingyu spends a lot of time learning and familiarizing himself with foreign laws. It is also necessary to arrange for its lawyers to do relevant study and training, and to deal with legal issues for domestic companies and explain China's legal process to foreign companies, etc., so that the time spent with family members has dropped sharply!

Jiang Jingtong looked at his elder brother busy with other things, and Ye Anan was worried about Jiang Jingyu's overwork, and Jiang Jianhui complained because his father didn't have time to accompany him, and finally made a cruel decision - he would go abroad to study law and return to China Finally, I have to help my brother!

Jiang Jingtong told Jiang Jingyu of his decision, how could Jiang Jingyu be willing, Jiang Jingtong was taken care of by Jiang Jingyu since he was a child, and he was pampered in life, Jiang Jingyu couldn't bear to let his younger brother study abroad!

Jiang Jingyu is a leader in the domestic lawyer industry. How many large enterprises and companies have hired his law firm to represent cases, and the bigwigs in the political and business circles have to give him a little face. Jiang Jingtong can be a domineering under his wings, right? , at least no one dares to provoke him easily. In foreign countries, Jiang Jingyu consciously does not have this influence!

Moreover, Jiang Jingtong's studies are so good that he can be admitted to the best universities in China. There is really no need to go to a foreign country where he is unfamiliar.

But Jiang Jingtong had a long talk with his brother, he said that his brother and sister-in-law love him so much, he doesn't want to just live under the wings of his brother and sister-in-law, he wants to be his brother's helper, he wants to contribute to this family!

Looking at his younger brother's young and handsome face, Jiang Jingyu knew that his younger brother who had been cared for by him had grown up and had to choose his own path in life!

Finally, Jiang Jingyu nodded, but Ye Anan disagreed!

As the eldest lady of the Ye family, Ye Anan married Jiang Jingyu for seven years, and treated Jiang Jingtong as her own child for seven years. Although Jiang Jianhui came later, Ye Anan's love for Jiang Jingtong was not less than half. , Ye Anan exploded, and almost committed domestic violence against lawyer Jiang Jingyu. Fortunately, Jiang Jingtong stopped him. Jiang Jingtong persuaded Ye Anan to let Jiang Jingyu go.

It took Jiang Jingtong a long time to get Ye Anan to reluctantly agree to his study abroad!

But Ye An'an still said: Tongtong will go abroad to play, if you are not used to it, come back, sister-in-law will arrange for you to go to school, and get you a leisurely job after graduation, don't be like your brother It seems that he was born to work hard!

Jiang Jingtong smiled and agreed!

Then Jiang Jingtong's plan to go abroad was stuck at Jiang Jianhui again!

Jiang Jianhui is already 5 years old. He is very smart. Although he is young, he faintly feels that his uncle is leaving home. When Jiang Jingtong packs his luggage and really leaves, Jiang Jianhui hugs Jiang Jingtong and does not let go. Light, shock and surprise almost made Jiang Jingtong give up his plan to study abroad!

It was Ye An'an who made the decision to take his son off Jiang Jingtong's body and throw him into her husband's arms before bidding farewell to Jiang Jingtong with tears in his eyes!

On the day Jiang Jingtong left, Jiang Jingyu, Ye An'an and Jiang Jianhui didn't go to see him off, because Jiang Jingtong didn't allow them to go. He was afraid of seeing his brother, sister-in-law and beloved nephew, so he couldn't bear to leave home—it was the driver at home. He sent it to the airport!

The moment he boarded the plane, Jiang Jingtong told himself that parting is for growing up and for being able to accompany his family with a better attitude when he comes back. After staying home for so long, Jiang Jingtong almost shed tears at the airport...

A year goes by so quickly!

This is already the autumn of Jiang Jingtong's second year studying in the UK.

Autumn in the UK is relatively comfortable except for some humidity, but Jiang Jingtong wrote a paper the day before -- "On the Structural Characteristics of the Anglo-American Law System", and the result was a super-good memory that made him "offer" and "prohibit" when he slept at night. Various terms such as "court organization" kept running in his mind all night, so that when he woke up in the morning, Jiang Jingtong felt a little dizzy.

In fact, schoolwork puts no pressure on Jiang Jingtong. His smart brain, super high intelligence and scientific learning methods allow him to do well in his studies. What Jiang Jingtong is not used to is daily life!

As Jiang Jingtong, who has been carefully raised by Jiang Jingyu and Ye Anan, who can stretch out his hands for tea, open his mouth for meals, have a driver when he goes in and out, and has a nanny at home, he is really not used to campus life in the UK: differences in diet, independent living The inconvenience and the gap in cultural cognition made Jiang Jingtong a little confused when he just arrived in the UK-even sanitation was a problem.

For Jiang Jingtong, who is a bit obsessed with cleanliness and is used to being served by others, tidying up the dormitory is a torture like hell - the school does not allow students such as "cleaning staff" or "nanny" to live in - fortunately, I met other students Later, Jiang Jingtong hired a cleaning staff near the campus to help him wash his clothes and clean the dormitory regularly like other students with good economic conditions in the school.

The hygiene problem has been solved, but you still have to come by yourself to eat and drink tea. Fortunately, Lang Fei, who shares a dormitory with Jiang Jingtong, is also Chinese, and their living habits are quite compatible, unlike other students who share a dormitory with European and American students. , due to differences in culture, diet, and living habits, it is easy to cause friction. Slowly, Jiang Jingtong's study abroad life is on the right track.

Over the past year or so, Jiang Jingtong has made two good friends at school. One is Lang Fei, who is in the same dormitory as the same major, and the other is Ouyang Le, who studies anthropology. ) Jiang Jingtong is different from Lang Fei who is a tough guy on campus (Ouyang Leyu). You can see it in a drama club.

Different from domestic school education, C University attaches great importance to student club activities, and some club activities are also counted into credits.The school gives students a lot of autonomy. From the 9-story activity center specially approved by the school for student club activities, we can see how much the school attaches importance to club activities!

Jiang Jingtong also participated in club activities. The club he chose was the debating club—completely pragmatism, while Lang Fei joined the campus football team—the choice of this kid’s shoes is interest first.

As a century-old prestigious school in the UK, there are about 13-15% of international students on the campus of C University, and Jiang Jingtong is one of the few Chinese among them. His slender body, handsome face, smart brain and temperament bred by a good background make him He has attracted much attention on campus - this is Jiang Jingtong's own opinion.

If you ask his friends, Lang Fei and Ouyang Le agree that: Jiang Jingtong’s popularity is because he first wrote a big word "sword" with a brush in the talent show when he joined the debate club, and wrote a question next to it A small poem shocked foreign students who are rare and strange with calligraphy -- no way, Chinese calligraphy is uniquely charming. For most foreign students, this may be the first time in their lives to see someone write with a brush. It's fresh, but you need to know that calligraphy is a unique landscape of Chinese characters. It is a work of art composed of lines. It needs to use lines of different thickness, shade, and strength to express coordinated colors and moods in order to fully express the image.

Although the foreign students couldn’t understand the characters written by Jiang Jingtong, according to the late French-Chinese artist Mr. Xiong Bingming: “A Westerner can appreciate calligraphy if he doesn’t understand Chinese. We can’t say that he doesn’t Understand calligraphy." Every Chinese character in calligraphy not only expresses shape, sound, and meaning, but also contains a person's strength of character and mind. Every word written by a person flows his soul, his temperament, his desire, his ambition...

Therefore, the beauty of calligraphy, whether elegant, melancholy, vigorous, or delicate, is contained in mountains, rivers and scenery.

Jiang Jingtong has won the true biography of Mr. Ye, and his pen is as free as a dragon, and he is extremely chic. After writing, he throws away the brush handsomely, and hangs up the big "sword" character. With this as the background, he dances a set of gossip Tai Chi swords--that's right , is the Eight Diagrams Tai Chi Sword - the kind we often see a group of grandparents dancing in the park - but Jiang Jingtong is young and handsome, with graceful gestures, firmness and softness, and amazed everyone for a while. The foreign alumni from the past are amazed by the mysterious, ancient and beautiful Chinese Kung Fu, not to mention the gleaming Longquan sword and the background of the word "sword" painted on silver hooks and iron, which complement each other and add charm!

And this kind of Jiang Jingtong exudes his own beauty, yes, it is beauty, beauty beyond gender: oval face, bright eyes, delicate skin, a white dress makes him exude a soft light, if the foreign students If you are familiar with Chinese poetry, you will describe him like this--Pianpianjia, who looks like a light cloud covering the moon, and walks like a flowing wind returning to snow.

Appreciation of beauty has no borders. The foreign students were amazed by the beauty of Jiang Jingtong, the beauty of calligraphy, and the beauty of sword dance, and were deeply shocked!

I don’t know which good student used DV to record Jiang Jingtong’s talent show in a small group of clubs, and uploaded it to the campus forum. Nickname - Oriental Beauty!

Jiang Jingtong: Khan, you've overplayed it!

In fact, this talent show was because Jiang Jingtong wanted to join the debating club, and one of the conditions for recruiting members of the debating club is the need for a personal talent show-Jiang Jingtong didn't understand why joining the debating club required a talent show, but he had no choice but to prepare The talent that needs to be displayed--however, Jiang Jingtong is incomplete in singing, has never learned dancing, and he feels a little silly in reciting. After thinking about what he is good at, he combined calligraphy with the Eight Diagrams and Tai Chi sword for physical exercise. How could he know this? What a great effect—especially after knowing in hindsight that as long as he pays a membership fee of 700 pounds, the talent show is just a formality, and he will definitely be admitted.

Jiang Jingtong really doesn't want to be in the limelight, he just wants to read quietly, but the development of some things is not transferred by people's subjective will--Britain is a poetic, romantic, and dramatic country, where countless Poets, writers, artists, the most famous four tragedies and comedies of Shakespeare, even the people of our country are familiar with it. The Qing of the River!

Yes, you read that right, male, male, female, female!

This made Lang Fei and Ouyang Le feel a little comforted in their hearts!

Tsk, isn't it just knowing calligraphy and playing "sword"?We are tired of seeing it in China, what is so strange--every time I think of this, Lang Fei beats his chest and stamps his feet. If he knew that Chinese martial arts are so marketable and Chinese calligraphy is so attractive, why did he learn Taekwondo? I hate myself why I don't bother to learn calligraphy because I think it's easy to get my hands dirty!

Lang Fei and Ouyang Le both agreed that calligraphy and Chinese martial arts are the perfect tools for pretending to be aggressive!

They jointly gave Jiang Jingtong a nickname - "Swordsman".

Jiang Jingtong didn't let go of the two bad friends either. He unilaterally decided that he, Lang Fei and Ouyang Le were in a group. The name of their group was - The Three Musketeers of China, which made Lang Fei and Ouyang Le roll their eyes so much. But shouldn't good friends love and kill each other like this?

In the afternoon, Ouyang Le said that there will be a dance in the activity center tonight.

Jiang Jingtong doesn't really want to participate. He likes to read, write, and drink tea quietly. He doesn't like to participate in social activities such as dance parties, especially as a campus celebrity. Every time he attends dance parties, some beauties or handsome guys will come out and confess --Jiang Jingtong feels that he is here to study, not to make friends or make friends!

But socializing is a part of British campus culture, and you need to be familiar with their habits when dealing with European and American people, so Jiang Jingtong decided to attend despite his reluctance, not to mention that Ouyang Le warned him that he was one of the organizers of the dance, It is necessary for Jiang Jingtong, the "Oriental beauty", to come out to everyone to "admire", if he dares not come, we will break up the relationship!

Having known each other for more than a year, Jiang Jingtong has gotten used to Ouyang Le's threat of breaking up the relationship, but he thinks it's good to go to the ball for a while: to divert his attention, relax his brain, so that those legal terms in his mind don't keep disturbing his sleep Not bad!
