Lin Zixuan stood on the deck, looking at the gradually distant China, and felt a lot of emotion.

This is his third time to go to the United States.

Once he went to study abroad, but he had not traveled through time. Once he went to sue, he was full of confidence. This time he wanted to change the world with his own strength.

A struggle between one person and the whole world...

Lin Zixuan smiled mockingly. He felt that it was too fantasy and no one believed it if he said it.

He felt like Don Quixote, who was addicted to the knight novels and fantasized about being able to be a hero and save the people, which was ultimately just a joke.

But when he travels to this era, he always has to do something.

He has self-knowledge.

In later generations, he was just a little man who graduated from a school and found a stable job and was a waste of time. Not to mention killing people, he would take a detour even when he saw the crime scene.

So he dared not go to the battlefield, nor would he be a general or commander, because he did not have the determination.

Both generals and commanders need strong wills of heroes. One of their decisions may involve the survival of tens of thousands of people. Who will sacrifice and who will survive are all in the thoughts of these people.

Lin Zixuan asked himself that he could not do this, and he could not kill decisively.

Even in business, he is very tolerant, just the difference between making more and making less, and he is not short of money.

This is a character he developed in later generations. It is not easy to change. After all, he is just a small person and accidentally traveled to this era, that's all.

He knew that he could not do those big things, and the result of his intrigue with those politicians might be sacrificed.

He wants to keep himself safe and do what he can do.

But in this changing era, watching this country be bullied by the great powers, watching the politicians fighting for power and profit, and watching countless young people bleed and sacrificed, all of these touched him.

What he will do in the end.

He wants to change the world in his own way and change the world in the way of a time traveler.

Perhaps this is just his wishful thinking. In fact, nothing can be changed. Using a book to change the world is so unreliable, just like the war between Don Quixote and Windmill. It is just a fantasy.

But Lin Zixuan still decided to implement this plan and take on this adventure.

He was not respected for himself to become a knight or a hero. Even if he changed the world, no one would know the role he played in it.

He just loves his country. It's enough to have this reason.

Before boarding the boat, he discussed with Pearl Bucks that because his luggage contained films that were easily damaged, he did not want to be taken apart and inspected, so he put his luggage at Pearl Bucks to avoid being investigated.

Due to the recent xenophobic incidents in China, the relationship between China and the United States is relatively tense, and Americans will never be friendly to Chinese people, and may even make things difficult for them on purpose.

Lin Zixuan’s request is reasonable.

This was a simple task. The Booker and his wife agreed without thinking too much, and they did not think that they needed to go to the United States to engage in illegal activities as Lin Zixuan.

Most of the foreigners on this cruise ship, and most of the foreigners think that their situation in China is very dangerous and they have to return to their country to live for a while and wait for the situation in China to stabilize.

Just like the Spanish Remas, he was already discussing with Lin Zixuan about transferring his cinema.

He felt that China would have a full-scale war in the future, and there would be a war between the warlords of the north and the south.

This refers to the Northern Expedition initiated by the Guangzhou National Government, so he planned to retire and return to Spain.

However, the cinema run by Remas is estimated at millions of silver dollars. Lin Zixuan needs to raise all the funds and introduce foreign capital.

These things will be considered after he returns to China.

After more than two years of writing, Pearl Buck felt his own shortcomings, and this time he returned to the United States to study in British literature.

She has become a little famous in the American literary world. She also graduated from Macon Women's College in Virginia and is easily admitted to Cornell University to pursue a graduate degree.

Lin Zixuan feels that his education is too low, and most of the people who have returned from studying in the West have a doctoral title.

I just don’t know how many of these people’s doctoral titles come from Pheasant University, but I don’t know these in the Chinese education community. When I see that they are doctoral titles returned from studying abroad in the West, they will be valued.

In fact, they are just a group of ignorant guys.

Although Lin Zixuan didn’t learn much knowledge, Columbia University in the United States has a strong brand, alumni, and is well-known in China, so he still has to choose a prestigious university when going to school.

He is preparing to have time to study in literature. After all, he is all a family and his education should be improved.

Pearl Buck has a strong social ability, which may be related to her origin in a missionary family.

She often gathers with some foreigners on the deck or in the first-class halls and rooms, drinks and chats. Lin Zixuan will also participate when she is bored and listen to the latest news in the United States.

Once, they talked about heroes.

Pearl Buck has some understanding of Chinese history and mentions many ancient Chinese heroes, but they are not recognized by Americans.

There are differences in Chinese and foreigners' perceptions of heroes.

The Chinese heroes are full of responsibility. According to the Confucian standards, they must "help the world with both sides", and according to the routine of martial arts novels, they are "the greatest hero is to serve the country and the people."

This has set a mark for Chinese heroes from the starting point to discard personal honors and disgraces, gains and losses, and devote themselves to the country and the people.

Western heroes are full of personal heroism and hedonism, and they advocate adventure and personal struggle.

For example, the early Knight Literature and the later Superhero series.

Lin Zixuan agrees with this view. Taking the traditional Chinese hero Sun Wukong as an example, at the beginning, Sun Wukong was not afraid of the earth and dared to make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace. At this stage, Sun Wukong was in line with the heroic image recognized by Westerners.

But later, Sun Wukong accompanied Tang Seng to the West to obtain the scriptures and realized the enlightenment and converted to Buddhism. This was a Chinese-style hero.

Chinese-style heroes always have to put the overall situation first, so Yue Fei was killed by the court and "Water Margin" was successfully recruited.

Lin Zixuan couldn't get rid of this model. He didn't want to be a hero, but he still wanted to go to the United States to try to change history. This may be the influence of Confucian culture on the Chinese.

He is a Chinese, this is a Chinese choice.

In this discussion about heroes, they also mentioned the novel "Robinson Crusoe".

In the eyes of foreigners, Robinson's adventurous spirit of lone rafts and oceans, heroic dreams, daring to act, and independent world is the best interpretation of personal heroism.

Robinson represents the spirit of adventure and conquest of the Westerners.
