Chinese and ethnic Chinese have spread abroad, forming communities with a strong Chinese cultural atmosphere and traditional style, which are Chinatowns. In the United States, there are two places with well-known Chinatowns, one is New York¡¯s Chinatown, and the other is San Francisco¡¯s Chinatown where Zhang Shaoping and others are currently located. In fact, San Francisco¡¯s Chinatown is not a street in the traditional sense, but a criss-crossed block of multiple streets. It is the largest Chinatown outside Asia and the oldest Chinese settlement in North America. Here, you can see a variety of Chinese-style teahouses and restaurants; Chinese-style buildings with green tile roofs, lanterns hanging everywhere on the streets, and even many birdcages; various archways and gates with carved beams and paintings. Showing a strong Chinese style; there are many Oriental faces, wearing Tang suits and cheongsams, speaking familiar Cantonese. All of this made Zhang Shaoping feel as if he had returned home, which was particularly cordial. Tang Shuxuan¡¯s charm was truly incredible. After only a few meetings, he was able to take two girls, Chen Yulian and Hu Mufang, to San Francisco for a walk. Zhang Shaoping had no choice but to follow. However, San Francisco is known as "Little China", and many traditional customs that are no longer popular in Hong Kong, Macao and Mainland China are still spread here, which is an eye-opener for Zhang Shaoping and others, and the trip is worthwhile. I found a teahouse on Grant Street, climbed to the third floor, and looked down from the window to see a unique scenery. "The food in this tea house tastes quite authentic." Everyone sat down and ordered some food. Tang Shuxuan was familiar with the place and introduced this tea house. "That's right. I'm going to have a taste of it later." There are very few authentic Chinese foods overseas, and they are basically catered to the tastes of foreigners. make change. This is the same as Western food entering the mainland. It will be localized to adapt to the local customs and environment. It will probably be called Western food, but it will still sell the taste of Chinese food. After a while, everyone¡¯s meals were delivered to the table one after another, and Zhang Shaoping picked up a small steamed bun. He put it in his mouth and took a bite, chewing: "It's not bad, better than other Chinese restaurants I've eaten in." Star-rated hotels, wealthy dining halls, private dishes. Zhang Shaoping has visited countless places and eaten countless delicacies. He can only say "not bad" from his mouth. It is already very rare. In a foreign country. It is extremely rare to be able to eat authentic hometown dishes. Even if the taste is average, it will become a delicious dish. ¡°You took everyone to San Francisco for no reason, could it be that you were treating us to an authentic Chinese meal?¡± Zhang Shaoping asked after swallowing a small steamed bun. "Why, after coming to San Francisco, don't you think it's worth the trip?" Tang Shuxuan smiled heartily. He said, "When I have nothing to do, I like to go back and forth between San Francisco and Los Angeles to relax. No matter how depressed my mood is, it will get better." Zhang Shaoping was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "That's right. Being able to appreciate the Chinese customs in a foreign country can really relax your mind." Tang Shuxuan joked: "I know that you love A-Lian and will definitely take her around to relax, so I will take it upon myself to make the arrangements for you. You should thank me." Chen Yulian puffed up her cheeks and said, "Sister Tang, you're going to make fun of me! This bad guy is not as good as you think." Zhang Shaoping put his arms around her. Slimming her waist, she exclaimed: "Mei Lian, this is wrong of you. I treat you with all my heart and soul. Isn't that good enough?" Chen Yulian was used to Zhang Shaoping's public intimacy, so she snorted coquettishly and lowered her head to drink tea. , ignore him. When Zhang Shaoping saw this, he felt secretly happy. It's a good thing that a woman is willing to act coquettishly with you in front of others. It means that she takes you seriously to show her closeness. "I said, can you please stop showing affection in front of everyone?" Tang Shuxuan smiled, suddenly changed the topic and asked: "Sheng Zhang, the Asian Studies Association is holding its annual meeting here in San Francisco, you know Right?" Zhang Shaoping didn't know why she mentioned this. He was full of questions, but he didn't forget to answer: "I read the newspaper and knew about this, but I don't know the details." This is an example from the Association for Asian Studies. At the bank's annual meeting, dozens of topics were discussed, one of which was called "Prospects for China's Reunification." Regarding this topic, many Taiwanese scholars and Chinese-American scholars and experts participated in the discussion. "What do Zhang Sheng think of this discussion?" Zhang Shaoping smiled and said: "I am just a businessman here, what can I think? Could it be that Ms. Tang is also a participant and came here to test my opinions?" Tang Shu Xuan shook his head and said: "The attendees are all well-known scholars and experts. I am just a movie maker, so I am not qualified! I am just a little curious about Zhang Sheng's position." "This is not about stance." Zhang Shaoping stood up, took the teapot, filled everyone's teacups, and said, "As a Chinese, I very much hope for the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. As a businessman, everyone is harmonious. I am happy to see it happen. In short, my attitude is that if there are any conflicts between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, we can sit down and talk about it. " Tang Shuxuan sighed. He said: "Your mentality is quite open-minded!" "We are just common people, and we can't make decisions on these national affairs." Zhang Shaoping responded casually, and thought to himself: "It's almost impossible to argue over these bullshit things." Ten years later, there will be no solution. So what if we can¡¯t see through it? It¡¯s just that people today have different ideas from Zhang Shaoping. They have lived in the shadow of a war between the two world superpowers that could break out at any time since they were young, and they are very concerned about many things. Especially Chinese people over 40 years old have thoughts and feelings about their home and country, and always hope that their country can be unified, prosperous, strong, democratic, and free. In the movies made by Tang Shuxuan, every scene reflects this kind of complex emotions, love, hate, and hatred, which makes people feel deeply after watching them. Tang Shuxuan nodded and said: "It's best if you don't have any prejudices. Today is the last day of the seminar. I will introduce some friends to you tonight. It is necessary for everyone to exchange feelings." Zhang Shaoping knew that attending the meeting Many Taiwanese scholars will be the backbone of the Democratic Party in the future. Now they are pretending to strive for cross-strait reunification, but when they tear off their face, they are more "independent" than anyone else. That kind of people. Zhang Shaoping didn't want to contact him at all, but when he thought that many of the people coming were from the reunification faction, his doubts disappeared a lot. After thinking about it for a while, he agreed and took over the hot potato. ?¡ ?Three years ago, the newspaper captured a picture of Zhou Runfa and Miao Qianlong rekindling their old relationship. Chen Yulian came back from Canada to refute the rumors. When interviewed, she once said: "The person you love most may not be able to become a couple." This sentence was published by the "vindictive" newspapers and media. **The title of Naked Land magazine: "Unfortunately, Chen Yulian was right!" Since Zhou Runfa and Yu Anan suddenly announced their marriage 10 days ago, no one could believe it at first. Yes, there were scandals between these two 6 or 7 years ago. But later, the relationship between Yu Anan and Er Dongsheng was exposed. Zhou Runfa and Chen Yulian also became the golden boy and girl, and the scandal has disappeared. Last year, Zhou Runfa and Yu Anan both announced that they were single again, but no one heard any news about their relationship, so why did they suddenly mention the word "marriage"? But the fact is the fact after all. Zhou Runfa and Yu Anan have begun to make love in public and kiss passionately in the street. so. The media in Hong Kong were shocked and speculated on the union between the two of them with the headline "We are both frustrated in love. We are excited to form a marriage alliance." But regardless of whether the two wanted to wash away the trauma they had suffered, on March 30, they both entered the palace of marriage with everyone's blessings or strange and complicated eyes. The grand wedding of the two was recorded and broadcast live on TVB. Everyone in Hong Kong could see the grace of the two big stars, participate in the happy event of their lives, and send their blessings. Michelle Xue left her name at the guest signature area, and then added Zhang Shaoping's name before giving the gift and entering the hall. This wedding banquet was hosted by both men and women, specifically to entertain friends and colleagues in the entertainment industry. Afterwards, it is said that the men and women will serve wine separately and entertain their relatives, neighbors and family friends. "Sister Ling!" Liu Dehua said with a smile. "Hua Zai, where is Fa Zai?" As soon as she entered the hall, Michelle saw Liu Dehua, Lu Liangwei, and Zheng Zeshi as best men. After everyone greeted each other, she asked where Zhou Runfa was. "Uncle Liu, Miss Fang, and Director Wang came just now. Brother Fa is probably greeting the three of them." Liu Dehua pointed to a lounge in the banquet hall and said. "Oh, you guys are busy, I'll go over and take a look." Before I reached the lounge, I saw the door of the lounge suddenly opened. The first person to walk out was Chen Guanzhong, followed by several people carrying cameras and hanging cameras. The people followed and filed out, then turned to take pictures at the door. At this time, Zhou Runfa and Yu Anan walked out accompanied by Shao Yifu, Fang Yihua, and Wang Tianlin. Zhou Runfa is wearing a white shirt and a black suit, and Yu Anan is wearing an antique palace-style wedding dress. Walking together, the man is handsome and the woman is gorgeous, with smiles on her face. They are a perfect match. Seeing this scene, Michelle was confused. TVB recorded the whole process, so she knew it, but why did Chen Guanzhong come to join in the fun? The sharp-eyed Wang Tianlin saw Michelle and said something to a few people. Fang Yihua raised his hand and shouted: "Huiling!" Michelle, hurry up.Stepping forward, Run Run Shaw asked with a smile: "It's just you. Where's Aping?" Michelle followed the excuse they had discussed beforehand and said: "He is handling a merger and acquisition case in the United States, and he can't get out of it for a while. Get out. He asked me to say congratulations to Fa Zai and say sorry. "No one knew whether Michelle's words were true or not, so it was hard to say more. Shao Yifu and the other two said a few words to Zhou Runfa and then went to sit down. At this moment, Michelle said with a smile: "You two talented men and beautiful women have been together for a hundred years. I wish you a son soon!" Zhou Runfa and Yu Anan both had smiles on their faces and said repeatedly: "Thank you! Thank you!" As they did their part today, The male and female protagonists, Zhou Yu and Zhou Yu were not allowed to have a moment of free time. Michelle couldn't talk to them more, so after saying a few words, she turned around and sat down. When she and Chen Guanzhong passed each other, Michelle couldn't help but asked: "Why did you personally lead the team to take pictures?" Chen Guanzhong whispered: "Zhang Sheng said that we need to take pictures to preserve these major events and events in the entertainment industry. , will be used as video material in the future.¡± Michelle was confused, isn¡¯t it just Zhou Runfa and Yu Anan getting married, what kind of big deal is this? She would never have thought that Zhou Runfa would become famous and become an international star in the future, and this video would be extremely precious. In fact, it¡¯s not just the marriage of Zhou Runfa and Yu Anan. For example, at the TV Golden Bell Awards held in Taiwan, Zhang Shaoping also asked Chen Guanzhong to send reporters to videotape the entire event. People today have not realized how valuable these things will become in future generations. Zhang Shaoping has even thought of making these videos into video tapes and DVDs for storage or sale. In the Internet era, these will become exclusive materials for video websites. . At the wedding banquet, Yu Anan was certainly dazzling and unparalleled, but although the other actresses did not steal her limelight, they were still dressed up and looked gorgeous. Just as Mi Xueyang was talking to the people at the table, she suddenly saw Zhong Yanhong looking for her seat. She couldn't help but feel moved, and got up and walked towards her. "Ah Hong!" "MiSister Ling!" Seeing that it was Mi Xue saying hello, Zhong Jinghong hesitated for a moment and then changed her name to "Sister Ling". "Come on, let's go over and sit together." The wedding was celebrated here, but on the other side of the ocean, Zhang Shaoping "exchanged" feelings with the so-called Chinese cultural elites last night and drank a few more glasses of wine , woke up after a night, it was already noon. After getting up, as soon as he entered the living room, Hu Mufang stood up from the sofa and said, "Sheng Zhang, Mr. Hendler called me this morning." "Huh? So soon?" Zhang Shaoping was greatly surprised. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
