Love reshapes life

Yiping carefully inquired about the details of the Japanese teacher.Surnamed Zhang, first name Daoxian, Suzhou native, 28 years old this year, studied in Japan in the early years, and taught in our school after returning, proficient in five foreign languages: English, Russian, French, German, and Japanese.He not only taught Japanese, but also taught English and German.He has no real estate in Shanghai, only a single apartment assigned to him by the school, so it is not difficult to find his place.

He didn't have class this afternoon. I heard that he was rather homely. If he didn't have class, he would spend most of his time in the apartment reading.Yiping knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered, instead a middle-aged woman came out from next door.Seeing Yiping's students dressed up, she asked, "Is this classmate looking for Teacher Zhang?"

Yiping saw that the fabric of this woman's clothing was not very good, but it was well matched and her hair was combed meticulously.I just don't know if it's the teacher or the teacher's family.Yiping felt a little embarrassed when she saw her curious eyes. In such an era where the old and the new are changing, it seems that everything a woman does is out of date.She suddenly realized that a female student should not come to the male teacher's dormitory alone.However, if she shyly shrinks back at this time, it seems that there is no 300 taels of silver here, she can only look directly at her inquiring eyes, and respond openly: "Mr. Zhang is not in the office. I have something urgent to report to him. I heard he is in the apartment. So I came to look for him, but he didn't seem to be there."

Seeing Yiping's frankness, the woman didn't want to show too obvious probing eyes, and said: "He is probably sleeping in the house, you have to knock behind the window of his bedroom, maybe he can hear it. But you have to go around just go later"

Yiping saw that it looked like a three-story row house. There were about 10 households in this row, and there was a window next to the door, but according to the woman, the window at the back of the house was the bedroom window.Yiping saw that the doors of many houses were open, and some came to see the excitement. She suddenly felt that she was really a bit reckless this time, and she smiled to cover up her embarrassment and said, "Since Teacher Zhang is sleeping, I'd better not disturb her. No I'm sorry to bother you all." After saying that, he saluted and was about to leave.The door of Mr. Zhang's house opened suddenly. His hair was still a little messy, and he was wearing a somewhat whitish gown to check the situation in front of the door.He seemed to have heard the conversation between Yiping and the middle-aged woman, and asked Yiping tentatively: "The classmate is here to find me."

Yiping wasn't sure if he still remembered her, she looked at the ignorant teacher Zhang with some hesitation, and looked at the crowd watching the excitement around, and nodded.Fortunately, this person was not as dull as he thought just now, he seemed to understand Yiping's situation, he said wait a moment, and then closed the door, as if to clean himself up.The people on the side slowly retreated into the room.

In less than half a minute, he put on a coat and combed all his hair back. He looked like a standard literati, and wearing glasses made him even more dignified.

He led Yiping to a stone table in a bamboo grove, and the people coming and going here were more open-minded.Ask Yiping: "Is this classmate the female classmate who appeared in the book-burning event to stop the riot that day?"

Yiping blushed a little, saying that it seemed impossible to stop it, but instead caused a mess all over her body. She herself still doesn't know whether what she did that day was right or wrong.

She replied in a low voice: "That is indeed the female classmate who shot that day."

He smiled and said to Yiping: "Actually, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you, my classmate. It was you who came forward to avoid a greater bloody disaster. It is a pity that you did not leave your name that day."

Yiping suddenly felt that he should be a very popular teacher, and what he said made people feel very comfortable.Yiping unconsciously said shyly: "My name is Lu Yiping. I heard that the students who initiated the book burning activity were arrested by the patrol room on charges of attempted murder."

Zhang Daoxian looked at Yiping, but didn't answer, his encouraging eyes seemed to want to hear her continue.Yiping had no choice but to tell the purpose of her trip: "I heard that you are very familiar with the Japanese students that day. I wonder if you can convince them not to pursue it."

Zhang Daoxian had a strange smile on his mouth, which made Yiping a little unpredictable.He asked Yiping, "Don't you think they were convicted?"

Yiping opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer.

"They besieged those Japanese students and tried to burn them to death in public. They did commit the crime of attempted murder. Don't you think they should be responsible for their actions? Or should they be punished just because they are in the Republic of China instead of Japan? Forgive?"

Yiping took a deep breath and sighed, "Did you get bullied when you were studying in Japan?"

Zhang Daoxian finally couldn't hold back the smile on his face when he heard a word from her god.

"I know that they did commit crimes, but they committed crimes in the Republic of China, especially under the special national conditions of Japan's invasion of the Republic of China, but the real reason why they are arrested today is not because This is a crime, but the Japanese want to use it to dampen the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the Chinese people. Is it wrong that I don’t want them to be sentenced for this?” Yiping suddenly said very seriously.

"I thought you didn't want them to be sentenced because of the guilt you said." He paused for five seconds before pursing his lips into a smile, and said narrowly.

Yiping's face was really red this time, well, she really did her best not to want them to be tried mainly because of the few words she said.But why did he have to say it?

Seeing that Yiping was really blushing this time, he slowly said seriously: "I have already persuaded those Japanese students, but they can't make the decision for this matter. The one who really wants to hold them accountable is now the Japanese students. The ambassador to China Shigeru Kawagoe and the forces behind it. Now that the embassy has been attacked by student protests all year round, the Japanese side is quite angry, and this matter is very difficult to resolve.”

"Then, is there no way to stop it now?" Yiping also felt that this matter was very difficult to deal with, but this was after all in the territory of the Chinese people. Ping's heart suddenly became heavy.

"Don't worry too much. I am a classmate with Kaichiro Sadagawa of the embassy. For this matter, we are also trying our best to negotiate with the Japanese side. If Lu students are really concerned about this matter, please wait patiently."

After hearing his words, Yiping finally breathed a sigh of relief.Standing up deliberately, I bowed deeply to him to express my gratitude and to say goodbye.When Yiping turned around, he suddenly asked: "I heard that Yiping's singing is like the sound of nature, I wonder if I'm lucky enough to listen to it?"

Yiping was a little dazed, she didn't seem to sing much?It is true that he has somewhat overlooked the change in his name.But he is such a good person, if he really wants to listen, then of course he can. Yiping looked around and asked awkwardly, "Are you going to sing here?"

Zhang Daoxian showed his playful smile again: "If Yiping doesn't like singing here, you can change to a place you are familiar with."

Seeing that he was not reluctant, Yiping smiled and said, "It's my 18th birthday in two months, and I will hold a birthday party at that time, and I want to formally invite the teacher to the party, and then I will sing my song at the party. The latest song I wrote.” In this era, birthdays are popular, so she didn’t turn 18, but she had to go through the coming-of-age ceremony early.Therefore, the family actually discussed this matter very early, and Ruping and her were only two months apart, if it was only for Yiping and not for Ruping, she would definitely cause trouble again.So we decided to take a middle time to hold a birthday party and hold a coming-of-age ceremony together.She also wanted to take this opportunity to make more classmates, but now that something happened to Lu Zhenhua, she didn't know that the coming-of-age ceremony could not be held smoothly, but it was good to look forward to it.

She asked him, "What song do you like to listen to?" Since she wanted to sing a song for him, it's better to sing one he likes.

He asked: "Can you sing Japanese songs?" It was that strange smile again.

Yiping was a little embarrassed and shook her head.He said: "There is a folk song in Japan called "Sakura Song". The tune is beautiful and the mood is intoxicating. Almost every Japanese girl can sing it. I miss it so much!"

Seeing him yearning, Yiping seems to really have special feelings for Japan, but he is Chinese, especially in today's China, even if he really has special feelings for Japan, it shouldn't be so obvious.But she thought it might mean something else?Could it be that he wanted Yiping to sing this song to arouse the homesickness of the Japanese, and then generate war weariness, thus damaging the morale of the Japanese.Yiping shook her head violently again. Did she think too much? It's not the plot of the novel. The two armies are fighting against each other. Playing and singing homesick songs under the city tower can really shake the army's morale. She thinks this idea is more childish than persuading Japanese students not to pursue it.

She can't figure out the purpose of what he said now, but she thinks that she can think slowly: "Can you still attend your Japanese class now?"

There seemed to be a strange light in his eyes and he asked, "You want to learn Japanese."

"Is it possible?" Yiping felt that maybe learning more Japanese would not be a bad thing, especially with such a peculiar teacher.

"Of course you are welcome. The Japanese class has actually stopped now. If you want to learn, I can teach you alone, free of charge."

Yiping didn't know how to react, she just had a whim, and asked him to teach her Japanese alone, which is not good.

He saw that Yiping seemed a little hesitant, he seemed to understand his concerns, he didn't point it out, but gave her time to go back and think about it.
