Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 903 The era of studying abroad is coming
Han Li felt bad when he heard that Principal Wen was looking for him, but he had to go. He could only put the pile of books related to his thesis in the teaching and research office first, drank a cup of cold tea to cool off the heat on his body, and then walked towards Principal Wen's office. He knocked on the door and went in after getting permission.

"Principal Wen, you are looking for me."

"Han Li is here. Please take a seat. After the meeting yesterday, your advisor Professor Zhang** said that your English level is very good in listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation. If it weren't for some conditions and thesis restrictions, she would have been able to issue you a graduation certificate this year."

Han Li was stunned when he heard this. The main reason why he chose to take the postgraduate entrance examination was that he would have free time and could slack off every day. Moreover, according to the current teaching regulations, he would be able to graduate in two years at most after becoming a postgraduate student.

Two years, plus the first half of this spring semester, Han Li will only need two and a half years at most to start working.

When the time comes, he will ask Mr. Liu to help him get assigned to a retirement home, and then he can start a lazy life with a cup of tea, a newspaper, and a whole day of leisure.

Those classmates who entered university with Han Li will need to study for another year or even two years before graduating. The key point is that their diplomas after graduation are not as high as his, and the levels they are assigned are far lower than his. Just thinking about this gap in comparison is very comfortable.

However, Han Li did not expect that because of his carelessness, he was discovered by Teacher Niu when he was reading a German document. After a series of operations by Principal Wen that he did not understand, he was now forced to become a substitute teacher for two classes and have the title of teaching assistant.

Although it has only been half a year, and more than four months have passed now, no one knows how he got through this period of time.

So when Principal Wen brought up this topic, Han Li immediately felt that the other party was determined to set a trap for him, so he quickly spoke.

"This is all thanks to you, President Wen, and Professor Zhang. I still have a lot to learn. I am still confused about the history, culture, social system, and background of English-speaking countries. Now I don't know how to write a paper."

Han Li said that President Wen certainly knew these things. If graduate students in the Foreign Languages ​​Department wanted to get a diploma, they not only had to be able to listen, speak, read, write and translate, but also had to collect literature, write papers, and take defenses, as well as practice teaching students, which Han Li is currently doing.

This paper is the most difficult to write. Once you have selected a country, you need to collect a large amount of literature and information, organize them into written language that you want to express, and hand them over to your supervisor. Once your supervisor is satisfied, he or she will call together several professors of the same level to ask you to defend some of the contents and viewpoints in this paper. A written record will be kept throughout the process for easy reference and to ensure fairness.

(At this stage, there is no rigid requirement in China that graduate theses must be published in certain heavyweight newspapers and journals. Of course, if you can publish it, it will enhance your own and your school's reputation, which will be more helpful for you to get your diploma.)
After Han Li finished speaking, Principal Wen smiled faintly, took out a document from the drawer and handed it over.

"This is the training opportunity at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that I promised you last time. This training will be held in the Friendship Hall on the fourth floor of the Beijing Hotel on West Chang'an Avenue. It will start on November 1st and there will be two sessions, each lasting half a month. You can choose any one of them after arranging your time.

It is better to consult people than to read thousands of books. The teachers in this training are all foreign friends. While you are receiving training, you can also learn some things related to your thesis from them.

This opportunity, which was very precious in the eyes of others, represented an unknown trouble in Han Li's eyes. If not handled properly, it might turn into a big trouble, so he asked reluctantly.

"Thank you, Principal Wen, for giving me this opportunity, but what is this training about? If it's knowledge that I already understand, then you should give this precious spot to someone else." Principal Wen had expected Han Li to say this, because of many contacts and Han Li's teaching performance during this period, he had already figured out the other party's personality, so he pointed at Han Li with his finger and said with a smile.

"Han Li, your idea is a bit of a closed-door idea. What you learn from books is shallow. If you don't personally participate in some things, you will have no idea how big the gap is between what you learn from books. If you find out that it is wrong when you use it one day, it will be too late to regret it.

Moreover, the content of this training is some basic knowledge and basic rules of foreign etiquette, including some national customs, taboos, international practices, protocol order, meetings and talks, banquet arrangements, dress requirements, appearance, foreign affairs discipline, etc.

These things may sound particularly empty, but none of them are useless. Not only can you learn some knowledge about how to deal with the corresponding situations, but you can also learn about relevant historical materials from the side of these things, which will be of great benefit to your thesis. "

Han Li walked out of Principal Wen's office with a stiff smile, turned several corners before rubbing his face hard with both hands, and finally let out a long breath.

“That won’t do. Although Principal Wen means well, if I continue to follow his lead, I won’t have a peaceful life for the next two years. I might even be forced to stay at Yanda to teach.

This kind of life of preparing lessons and giving lectures day and night, struggling on the podium, is not what I want. I have to think of a way to interrupt this rhythm, and it can't be too obvious, but this is not easy to do."

It turned out that Han Li had just learned in Principal Wen's office that according to statistics, less than 100 people can study abroad each year, and less than people go to developed countries like Britain, Germany, and the United States for further studies.

Therefore, on June 6 this year, “that person” pointed out on the issue of sending overseas students: “I am in favor of increasing the number of overseas students. All units should tighten up a little. It is most important to send talents abroad and bring back knowledge. We should send thousands of them, not just ten or eight at a time.”

Out of absolute trust in "that person", most universities have been preparing for this event since that day, and have been doing their best to bring up teachers and students who meet the requirements, pass the review, and are excellent in their schools.

Universities with the necessary conditions, such as Yanda, Huaqing, Fudan, and Jinling, have prepared courses similar to those provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for teachers and students who meet the requirements. Schools with slightly weaker conditions have added foreign language courses for excellent and qualified teachers and students.

It can be imagined that after this condition was officially announced, the country's history of studying abroad immediately entered a new era.

(At this time, the country does not allow studying abroad at one's own expense, even if the other party is a returned overseas Chinese or a family member of an overseas Chinese.)
While Han Li was thinking about how to maintain his poor life, Mr. Liu and his group had already started packing their luggage in Beidai H, especially Mr. Song, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Hou and Mr. Li who were the most active.

If they had not had to follow the main force back, they would have returned to Sijiu City some time ago.

After cleaning the streets today, Shanghai Hao Hongmin's mother received another handwritten letter from Hao Jianghe, sent by a Hong Kong backpacker.
　PS: Sorry, my son finished his high school entrance exam today, and many of his classmates’ parents are Mao Sui’s classmates and friends, so we had a small gathering of about ten family members. We drank a little too much, so there is only one chapter today~~~~
