[comprehensive] life journey

Chapter 9

After coming to the United States, Bai Xiuzhu discovered how serious the discrimination against Chinese people was in this era.Although the United States has fought the Civil War, the discrimination against people of color has not improved much, and because of China's weakness.Therefore, almost all Western powers regard China as their back garden.

Chinese studying in the United States are often treated unequally, and campus violence incidents among American students are also very frequent. Bai Xiuzhu, who learned about these things, now has a faint headache.But faced with her own choice, she now has only one path, and that is to move forward hard and use her own strength to conquer this group of racially discriminatory Americans.

Bai Xiuzhu arrived in the United States at the end of April, two or three months before the next school start.Originally, this period of time was for Bai Xiuzhu to adapt to the language and environment, but after thinking about it for a long time, she finally decided to attend school during this period.

The school that Bai Xiuzhu will enter in a few months is St. John's Girls' High School in New York, which can be said to be a branch of St. John's University in Shanghai.Since she was about to attend this school, Mr. Carey had already helped Bai Xiuzhu get the school pass and class attendance pass in advance.

The current St. John's High School is a separate school for boys and girls. Knowing the conservative nature of the Chinese, Mr. Carey chose St. John's Girls' High School. Of course, the reason for choosing this school also includes the excellent teaching quality of this school.

Today, Bai Xiuzhu is going to visit her school in the next few years. Because Bai Xiuzhu wants to go quietly, she did not choose to bring the driver and servant with her at home. After all, it is too ostentatious to go to school like this .Coupled with the fact that a group of people are not familiar with the place of life, it is obviously not beneficial to do so hastily.

Because after arriving here, only Bai Xiuzhu is left as the master of the Bai family, so even if they want to refute Bai Xiuzhu's words, no one can really stop her actions.

Bai Xiuzhu, who shocked the people brought by her family when she sang bad faces, went to school very easily. She kept observing the city of New York along the way. She found that even in this era, New York has already Changing the appearance of an international metropolis, the streets with people coming and going make the city full of vigor. Even though she has memories of hundreds of years later, she has to admit the modernization of New York.

The new house of Bai's family is very close to St. John's Middle School. Bai Xiuzhu only walked for 15 minutes to get there. Bai Xiuzhu was stopped in front of a gate that looked like a church.A very nice white old man stopped her.

"Oh, little girl from the east, do you have a certificate? If not, I don't think you can go in!" With a kind smile on his face, the old man spoke to Bai Xiuzhu without any discrimination.

"Of course, this is my certificate." Bai Xiuzhu took out her lecture certificate, "So, sir, can I go in?"

The old man looked carefully, "Of course, such a cute oriental girl is very welcome to our school. I have to say, you are really very beautiful."

"Thank you." Bai Xiuzhu, who knew the bold personality of the Americans, would not take such compliments as disrespect, but she just didn't know if the girls at home would be frightened by the enthusiasm of the Americans.

"Then, I'll go in first." Bai Xiuzhu shrugged, said goodbye to the old man and entered the campus.

After entering, I found that Covenant School really deserves to be a church school. This kind of religious atmosphere and long-standing tradition are lacking in the United States with a short history.The lush deciduous avenue may become a harvest color in autumn. The pointed towers, arches, colorful stained glass, pointed rib vaults, flying buttresses, and slender beam columns create an A sense of light and slender flying... This is the romance of Gothic architecture, mixed with the mystery of religion in the romance, a special charm attracts everyone's attention.

Bai Xiuzhu walked in slowly, looking at the Gothic buildings, she couldn't imagine that this was where she would go to class in the future, in such a mysterious place...

But the bell after class confirmed that this is indeed the place for class. Bai Xiuzhu stopped a white girl with her fairly fluent English.

"Hi, excuse me, can I ask you a question?" Bai Xiuzhu asked a little shyly, she really didn't do such things often.

"Yes." The girl was obviously very curious about Bai Xiuzhu's appearance, her big green eyes were staring at Bai Xiuzhu's face without blinking.

"I want to go to the principal's office, can you take me there? Or, if you don't have time, you can point me in the direction."

"It's okay, I'll take you there." The girl was very enthusiastic, and she took the initiative to take Bai Xiuzhu to the principal's office herself.

......

The atmosphere on the road was awkward for a few seconds, because Bai Xiuzhu didn't know how to strike up a conversation with others. The reservedness of the oriental people is probably most reflected in this aspect, but fortunately, this Caucasian girl has a very cheerful personality.

"What's your name? My name is Natasha Brooke."

"What do you come to our school for? Maybe you will become a student of our school?"

"Are you from that country in the East, China?"

......

A series of questions came out of Natasha's mouth one after another, speaking very fast, with almost no pause in the middle.Bai Xiuzhu had no chance to intervene.Therefore, Bai Xiuzhu could only wait for her to finish speaking before answering.

"Hello, Miss Brooke. My name is Shirley Bai. I'm from China. I may be a member of St. John's High School next."

"Oh, that's really great. Maybe you can call me Natasha if you don't mind, can I call you Shirley?"

"It's my honor at this time." The two girls looked at each other and smiled, perhaps friendship is sometimes so simple.

......

"Here, this is St. John's principal's office." After walking through two Gothic buildings, they came to a very simple building that didn't look like a medieval school. Natasha pointed to the room on the top floor.

"Thank you, Natasha, we will meet again."

"Of course." Natasha gave this friend she just met a hug, and then ran away quickly. Looking at her vivid back, Bai Xiuzhu felt the breath of youth.

......

"Butt button button..." Bai Xiuzhu came to the door of the principal's office, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door of the office.

"Come in." A very friendly male voice sounded.

"Hello, Principal." Bai Xiuzhu pushed the door open and went in, and she saw a middle-aged man wearing a priest's robe, but looked gentle.

"Miss, who are you?" The principal obviously didn't know who Bai Xiuzhu was.

"Principal, I am..." Bai Xiuzhu explained her basic situation, expressed her desire to enter the school as soon as possible, and hoped that the principal would agree.

After listening to Bai Xiuzhu's words, he thought for a while, "Okay, Miss Bai, if this is the case, you will have to take the exam for this school year, and there are about two months left, can you?"

"Of course, sir." Bai Xiuzhu was very excited that she could achieve her wish, "Thank you very much!"

......

Having achieved her goal, Bai Xiuzhu decided to take advantage of the two days before entering school to take a good look at the customs and customs of the [-]th century America. Although the United States in this era should not be open in the future, because it is a new country, she has Inclusiveness that the old country did not have.

Bai Xiuzhu took Xiaolan to wander the streets of the United States unscrupulously, looking at the cosmopolitan New York, admiring the shock brought by the Statue of Liberty...

Time flies, and two years have passed quickly. Bai Xiuzhu has received the admission letter from Harvard Medical School, and it took two years to complete her studies that would have taken five or six years.

She is finally going to enter the world of medicine. Although Bai Xiuzhu has never let go of her love for Chinese medicine in the past two years, she really hasn't gotten started with Western medicine.Harvard's medical school is the most famous medical school in the world, and it is also the most leading place in the world...Bai Xiuzhu was able to enter this school, she proved to all the American girls who called her "yellow monkey" in the previous school , the Chinese are not inferior to anyone!

Two years of high school study shortened the time for Bai Xiuzhu to make friends, but fortunately, the white girl Natasha was always by Bai Xiuzhu's side, and the two of them have become very good friends; she also encountered American girls on campus Violence, but because of the troubled times, Bai Xiuzhu did not give up learning martial arts. In addition, her strength was constantly recovering because of farming, so the pranks of a few girls became the stepping stones of Bai Xiuzhu's famous school. Even if that's not what Bai Xiuzhu wanted.

The two years of living in St. John's gave Bai Xiuzhu a lot of happiness. Although there were also troubles, it is undeniable that she was very happy overall. She traveled in the ocean of knowledge and grew up rapidly here with the expectations of her family.

Bai Xiuzhu turned her head to look at the house she had lived in for two years, sighed, and watched the servants at home cover the house with white cloth, they were about to embark on a new journey, to Boston, where there are countless A city with prestigious universities.

......

Six years later, I'm finally back.

Standing at the port of Shanghai, looking at the land of her own country, Bai Xiuzhu couldn't hold back her tears. After wandering for many years, she finally returned home and finally set foot on this land.

"Xue Lier, what are you looking at?" A blond man walked to Bai Xiuzhu's side, looked in the direction where her eyes were staring, and put the clothes on her body.

"Xiryl, the car is here, let's go in first. Okay?"
