The Pentium Era - South to North

After coming out of Fubon Financial Holdings in Building 101, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, took Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen to the Taipei National Palace Museum. Like the Shilin Night Market, there were also tourist groups from the mainland. In the gift shop, there were red, white and yellow colors. The three colors of paper tape printed with Emperor Kangxi's imperial handwriting "I understand" are all sold out, and pre-orders were placed two months later.

After coming out of the Forbidden City, five people in a car went to the home of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty.

Seeing a white and gray house among the green trees from a distance, Lin Shuwan and Tan Shuzhen said that this was designed by my brother. Tan Shuzhen praised:

"it's beautiful!"

"It's beautiful. I would say that my little brother's design is the most beautiful in our area." Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, said.

Zhang Chen looked at the villas they passed by and felt a little proud. He didn't expect that the designs he made based on the photos would be better than he expected when put into a real environment.

Zhang Chen chuckled.

After driving the car into the yard, everyone got out of the car and heard the noise outside. Three people, two men and one woman, came out of the villa. The woman was the wife of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, a woman who looked very docile at first glance. Zhang Chen and It was the first time for Tan Shuzhen to see it.

The wife of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, was named Ding Guimin. She told Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen that she was welcome, and then said to Wang Minsheng:

"Minsheng, help me make dessert together."

Wang Minsheng said yes, and Lin Shuwan shouted: "I'll help too."

Ding Guimin patted Lin Shuwan and said, "Awan, what can you do to help her, besides eating."

Lin Shuwan smiled and said: "Okay, then I will help you try the food."

Lin Shuwan took Ding Guimin's arm, and the three of them left.

The two men who came out behind Ding Guimin were one in his fifties, slightly fat, with a crew cut and wearing glasses, and the other was in his forties. Zhang Chen looked familiar, but couldn't figure it out. Who could it be? I thought it was impossible. This was Taipei. How could I have any acquaintances here?

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, introduced them to them. Zhang Chen was shocked. Only then did he realize that the man wearing glasses was the famous Taiwanese director Tsai Ming-liang. The familiar man did not need an introduction. Zhang Chen also remembered that he was Tsai Ming-liang's queen. The male protagonist Li Kangsheng has been seen countless times on the screen, so no wonder he seems familiar.

But because Tsai Ming-liang's films tend to use medium and long shots, rarely close shots, and almost no close-ups, the male and female protagonists in the film are always a little blurry, so I can only feel familiar with Li Kangsheng.

Tsai Ming-liang and Li Kangsheng specially invited them over to have dinner together because when Han Emperor Liu Bang was in mainland China, he heard Zhang Chen say that he liked his films such as "Young Nezha" and "What Time is It Over There".

"I heard that the designer who designed this house is here. Even if Emperor Liu doesn't invite him, I want to come and have a look." Cai Mingliang said to Zhang Chen with a smile.

Everyone went into the villa and sat down on the sofa in the living room. Zhang Chen and Tsai Mingliang chatted enthusiastically, ranging from "Young Nezha" and "What Time Is It Over There" to "The River", "Face" and "Long Live Love" , Zhang Chen knew every one of Tsai Ming-liang’s works like a treasure. Both Tsai Ming-liang and Li Kangsheng were surprised. Tsai Ming-liang asked:

"Mr. Zhang is so familiar with me. Where did you see it?"

Zhang Chen said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I bought pirated discs. I want to watch them. Unfortunately, there are no public releases in mainland China. I want to buy genuine ones, but there is no place to buy them."

Tsai Ming-liang laughed: "It doesn't matter, there are still people piracy, which shows that our films still have some value."

Tsai Ming-liang told Zhang Chen that the latest film he collaborated with Li Kangsheng is "Outing" and is preparing to participate in the Venice Film Festival in August this year. When the DVD comes out, he will ask Liu Bang, the great ancestor of Han Dynasty, to bring a copy to Zhang Chen .

Zhang Chen quickly said: "Thank you, this way I don't have to buy pirated discs."

Everyone laughed.

Lin Shuwan came over and invited everyone to come to the restaurant for dinner. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much. Zhang Chen felt that the Taiwanese food made by Ding Guimin was even better than that of Xinye Restaurant.

Zhang Chen told Ding Guimin his thoughts.

Ding Guimin smiled and said thank you, thank you, but what I cooked is not Taiwanese cuisine, but Baijia cuisine.

"Baijia cuisine? Which cuisine does this belong to?"

Zhang Chen asked, but before Ding Guimin could speak, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, said: "The military dependents village system."

Tsai Ming-liang, Li Kangsheng, Wang Minsheng, and Lin Shuwan all laughed.

Liu Bang and Zhang Chen, the founders of the Han Dynasty, explained that Ding Guimin, like him, grew up in a military military village. In the military military villages, there were people from Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong, and Guangxi. There are no people from any province, and their children all visit each other and eat together, so their tastes are mixed, and they eat a "hundreds of dishes".

Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen understood that it turned out to be such a delicious dish.

Han Emperor Liu Bang and Ding Guimin introduced Zhang Chen's Tuxiangyuan Hotel, and introduced Zhang Chen's "Riverside Oil Painting Gallery" to Cai Mingliang and Li Kangsheng. They were all very interested after hearing this. Zhang Chen invited them to the mainland. They They all say that if you have the chance, you must go.

Lin Shuwan and Ding Guimin said: "You are the one who should go to the mainland the most. Brother Liu took Minsheng and I to the mainland. Why is it you who have never been to the mainland?"

Ding Guimin told them that she was afraid to go. When she said this, she looked a little sad.

Tan Shuzhen asked her why, and Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, explained for her that she was actually from Jixi, Anhui, next door to you, which should not be far from Hangzhou. She knew that there were many relatives in her hometown in Jixi, but her parents died early. , passed away before the lifting of martial law. She didn’t even know where her ancestral home was in Jixi. She would probably be sad all the way back.

The words of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, made everyone feel close to each other. Tsai Ming-liang said, "It's similar to me. I know that I was born in Malaysia and am half Malay, but I can't speak a word of Malay. My hometown is long gone." It became a foreign land.

Tan Shuzhen and Ding Guimin said, in fact, you can search backwards. Sister-in-law, please tell me the names and ages of your parents, and I can ask someone to go to the local TV station to broadcast the missing persons notice. Your relatives must still remember your parents. They will watch When it arrives, we will contact you in turn.

Ding Guimin's eyes lit up, and Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, said, yes, this is a good method. You can ask them to contact me. I ran over to have a look and everyone met. If it is true, many situations can be corrected.

Ding Guimin immediately found a pen and paper and wrote the names and ages of her parents on the paper. She also found an old photo of her parents and gave it to Tan Shuzhen, who carefully put it in her bag.

When sending Zhang Chen and the four of them back to the hotel, Han Emperor Liu Bang and Zhang Chen said, it's a pity that Hou Hsiao-hsien is not in Taiwan, otherwise I can introduce you to meet them. The most regrettable thing about Han Emperor Liu Bang was that he directed "The Murders of the Boys on Guling Street" , Edward Yang of "The Story of Time" and "Yi Yi".

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Zhang Chen said that he had the best relationship with Yang Dechang. Unfortunately, he died of colon cancer in the seventh year of his life.

"How come I don't know anything about this person you're talking about?" Tan Shuzhen asked.

"Not surprising, his movies have never been released in mainland China, but you must know his wife." Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen said.

Tan Shuzhen asked who it was.

"Cai Qin." Zhang Chen said.

"That Tsai Qin who sings?"

Zhang Chen is right.

Tan Shuzhen took a breath of air and asked Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty: "Brother Liu, how come you know all these people?"

Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, said with a smile: "Taiwan is only as big as Taiwan."

This sentence sounded easy to say, but then, Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen immediately saw the power of this sentence.

The next day, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, drove to pick them up. They walked on the Suhua-Gao Highway again. They passed Yilan again, went to see Xiaohu, and then went to Hualien and Taitung. They left Taitung and continued southward. Go to Kenting, the southernmost city in Taiwan, and then start walking north from Kenting to Kaohsiung, and then take the Zhongshan Expressway to Tainan.

From Tainan I went to Chiayi and Yunlin, then from Yunlin to Nantou, Changhua, and finally to Wang Minsheng’s home in Taichung.

Starting from Taichung, they went to Miaoli and Hsinchu, and finally returned to Taipei. They spent a total of six days walking around Taiwan Island. Wherever they went, they were received by friends of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, and asked Zhang Chen I and Tan Shuzhen felt that Taiwan was indeed so small. It was so small that Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, seemed to have friends and brothers in every township and village.

They stayed in Taipei for one night and flew directly from Taipei Taoyuan Airport to Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou the next day. Yao Fen and Xiang Nan were waiting for them at the airport. When Xiang Nan saw them, he asked others to take Yao Fen's car. She pulled Zhang Chen into her car, started the car, and took him directly to Yongcheng instead of returning to downtown Hangzhou.

The car passed Binjiang and drove towards Zhuantang. Zhang Chen asked Xiang Nan, "Why are you dragging me to Yongcheng?"

Xiang Nan told him that it was still a matter on the construction site. Uncle, please help me go and take a look. I have been anxious to death in the past few days when you have been away.

"Are you going to act again?" Zhang Chen asked.

Xiang Nan is right. We have reached a critical period. I don't want to delay the time due to rework. Delay of one project will affect the whole project.

Zhang Chen said yes, and he was thinking that this visit to 101 gave him a lot of inspiration. He happened to want to make some local adjustments to Yongcheng Center. Isn't Yongcheng Center just a miniature version of the 101 building.

At the same time, he can also use this time in the hotel to draw the second draft of the renderings of the Banmutian Hotel upstairs in the dynamic zone.

Zhang Chen told Xiang Nan that he was going to make some fine-tuning of Yongcheng Center, and Xiang Nan agreed.

Zhang Chen continued: "Then I will stay in Yongcheng for a few days."

"Great!" Xiang Nan shouted. After a while, Xiang Nan asked, "Uncle, if you haven't been back for so long, aren't you afraid that Xixi will forget your father?"

Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment, and then joked: "Her mother has been away for a longer time. Zhang Xiangbei has never even met her, so let her forget all the people in her family."

Xiang Nan giggled.

Zhang Chen thought about it and asked, "Xiang Nan, have you called Xiaohu?"

Xiang Nan's face turned slightly red and she looked a little shy, and she said, "No."

What she was thinking was that if she called Xiaohu at this time, she was afraid that he would misunderstand her.

Zhang Chen said: "No matter what, Xiaohu is also your friend, and Fubon Financial Holdings also sponsors your troupe every year. As the leader of the troupe, when such a big thing happens, you are responsible for both public and private matters." You should call Xiaohu to express your condolences."

Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, and felt that what Zhang Chen said made sense. She nodded and said, I will call him later.
