Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 456
The members of the "Hunting in the East" group asked the group leader Jin Kefan for a long time, but they didn't find Chou Yinmao. Although they were unwilling, they didn't continue to pester and ask. Instead, they asked about today's Jinling University activities things.

Seeing that they didn't ask about Yu Dong's nickname, Jin Keke was also relieved, and happily shared it with them.

Jin Kefan: 【Today's activity went very smoothly. The teachers were very kind and basically did not avoid the questions we asked. 】

Chen Mobai: 【Did you ask the question too? 】

Jin Kefan: [Yes, I also asked a question. 】

Liu Jinfa: [I thought that the questioners for this kind of event were arranged in advance. 】

Jin Kefan: [Nonsense, our school never does this kind of thing. 】

Young Ronald: [Leader, what question did you ask? 】

Jin Kefan: 【My question is...】

……

After the activities in the morning, the Jinling University officials arranged for Yu Dong and the others to have a simple meal, and took them on a formal tour of the school in the afternoon.

After the visit, when everyone was walking towards the administration building, Shen Changhe suddenly asked, "Ms. Monroe, Mr. Clerzio, after walking around, what do you two think of the scenery of our school?"

Monroe said with a smile: "There is tranquility amidst the noise, and many places reveal a quaint atmosphere, which is very good."

She said it more politely, but Clerzio wanted to be more serious: "I like the scenery of your school very much. Although it is not very big, it is enough for students and teachers. Of course, although I am very happy I like traditional buildings, but I still think that the environment of a school is secondary, and the key is people. When I visited your school, I noticed that most of the students looked positive, with hope in their eyes.”

These words made the teachers at Jinling University feel sweet in their hearts, and Shen Changhe smiled and said, "Thanks to everyone."

Clerzio raised his eyebrows. He had heard the Chinese say "thanks to you" more than once.At first, he couldn't understand it at all, because the matter had nothing to do with him, but after listening to it a lot, he found that this is a Chinese way of expressing gratitude and humility.

Monroe nodded slightly when she heard Clezio's words. Compared with the last time she came to China, she could clearly feel that China is more open and more dynamic than before.

Just like today's weather, China in the past was like a morning, covered in a layer of fog, and it was difficult to see ahead.Now, the sun is out, the sky is clear, and everything becomes very clear.

Looking at the Chinese writers around me, they are completely different from the writers I accompanied back then.

Regardless of their literary accomplishments, their witty conversation alone is impressive.Of course, YU and the others are humorous, easy-going, cheerful and generous, and she has seen it early this year.

Shen Changhe felt that the atmosphere was very good at the moment, so he poked Cheng Liye lightly, and the latter understood it, and said with a smile: "As far as I know, both of you have taught in different places, especially Clezio, The footprints are all over the world. I wonder if you two are interested in becoming an honorary professor in our school?"

Afterwards, Cheng Liye winked at Dong again.

Yu Dong saw Yue Zhang's wink at him, and he understood what it meant, that he wanted him to help say good things in the middle.

Since it was his father-in-law's job, Yu Dong was naturally duty-bound, cleared his throat, and said, "Director Cheng is right, Jinling University has a great relationship with you. As far as I know, their Department of Literature had a special research department a long time ago. Clezio, your group. In the past two years, a special group has also been set up to study your Monroe. I don’t think there are any universities in China that can understand your works better than Jinling University.”

"And you have also seen today that the students of Jinling University like you very much. As honorary professors, if you have time to come to China in the future, you will have a place to stay."

Yu Dong's words moved Clezio and Monroe a little.

After all, they are honorary professors, and they basically have no obligations. Jinling University is also one of the top schools in China. It is of course a good thing for them to be able to serve as honorary professors here.

Seeing the two hesitate, Yu Hua smiled and said, "Don't say anything else, if you two want to come and hang out with us in the future, Jinling University can arrange round-trip air tickets for you."

Yu Hua's words were purely joking, no matter if it was Clezio or Monroe, as long as they wanted to go, someone would make arrangements for them wherever they wanted to go.

But Yu Hua's joke also has another meaning, that is, if Clezio and Monroe come to Jinling University as honorary professors, Yu Dong and Yu Hua will get closer to them in the future.

In the end, Clerzio nodded first, "Personally, I am willing."

Hearing that Clezio agreed, Monroe had no reason to refuse, and nodded, "I am willing too."

After the two agreed, both Shen Changhe and Cheng Liye were overjoyed.

Cheng Liye thanked Clezio and the others while looking at his son-in-law with satisfaction.

After completing the task, Yu Dong also smiled slightly. This wave of Jinling University has made a lot of money. If there are no accidents, both Clezio and Monroe will win the Nobel Prize in Literature in the future.

This means that today Jinling University suddenly accepted two future Nobel Prize winners as honorary professors.

The only pity is that Oates, who was supposed to come, was unable to come due to temporary errands, otherwise, Jinling University would have earned more in this round.

But then again, in their group, including Mo Yan, there are three future Nobel Prize winners in literature, and occasions like this are rare.

Later, after the three of them have won the Nobel Prize for Literature, they will probably look back at today's literary exchange meeting with emotion.

After taking Clezio and Monroe down, Shen Changhe was still a little dissatisfied. When he got to the lounge, he secretly asked Yu Dong and the others for their opinions, asking if they would like to take a position in the Department of Literature.

What he meant was that Yu Dong and the others were brought together and sent to the Department of Literature.

But the invitation for Dong and the others is different from that of Clezio and the others. Yu Dong and the others are close to each other. If they are about to take up a job at Jinling University, it must not be that simple. Usually, they still have to come over to teach students more or less.

So, Yu Dong declined again.

Bi Feiyu also declined, the reason for his refusal was the same as that of Yu Dong, because he had a full-time job at Jinyi, and the work there was almost too busy, so how could he have time to care about Jinling University.

Mo Yan and Yu Hua said that they had nothing to teach. After all, they were not majored in literature. After they came, they had nothing else to do except to be mascots.
