Chapter 272 Revisiting the Hometown

On August 9, 1925, Lin Zixuan came to the United States. 1?k?a?n?s?hu·

Standing on the deck and looking at the Statue of Liberty in the distance, he was a little nervous.

In fact, even if "The Strange Man of the High Castle" is found out, it's okay. As a writer, it's not illegal to write a science fiction novel, but his plan to change the world will be vain.

US Customs inspects Americans and non-Americans in two channels.

Lin Zixuan carried a suitcase full of clothes with him and two other luggage containing movie films and books at Pearl Buck. He took out the passport signed by the US Embassy in Shanghai and handed it to the inspector.

This time he applied to come to the United States as a businessman.

Under the influence of the Chinese Exclusion Act, it is not easy for Chinese people to apply to the United States and need to pass a strict background review.

Generally speaking, the restrictions on teachers, students, businessmen and tourists are relatively relaxed.

Especially for international students, as long as they have the ********** issued by regular Chinese schools, they have a great chance of obtaining a visa, and the certificates issued by church schools are more valuable.

In terms of time limit, teachers and students can stay for more than half a year, while merchants and tourists can only stay for three months.

If you want to continue to stay in the United States, you need the approval of relevant local departments in the United States, otherwise you will be regarded as an illegal immigrant.

Lin Zixuan didn't bring anything and quickly walked out of the customs office. He was waiting outside for the Pearl Buck couple.??After reading the book 1?ka?n?shu·

It was just a long time to see them come out, which made Lin Zixuan very worried.

I only found out that the book is fine after asking, but the problem lies in the movie film.

Before coming, these copies of the movie were checked by staff from the US Embassy in Shanghai and labeled them to prove that there was no problem with the content of the movie, but it was a license for Lin Zixuan, not the name of Pearl Buck.

Pearl Buck said it helped his friends bring the United States.

The two sides argued for a while, and the customs finally let it go. It was a false alarm.

Lin Zixuan thanked Booker and his wife and said goodbye to them.

Pearl Buck is going to Cornell University in Ithaca, and Lin Zixuan is going to rush to Columbia University in New York.

Anyway, they are all in New York State. The distance is not far, so it is easy to meet.

He was very familiar with the environment near Columbia University, so he found a hotel to settle down and went to school to find his sister.

Originally, as a cultural celebrity in Lin Zixuan, he could get a speech invitation from a foreign university and came to the United States with a glorious appearance, but this time he didn't want to be too arrogant.

Moreover, if you want to get a speech invitation, you need to contact us in advance, and the procedures are relatively complicated.

Some domestic scholars are proud to receive speech invitations from foreign universities. However, they do not know that it was not something that someone else asked him to go, but that he obtained it through his own relationship application. I want to read a book? 1?k?anshu·

In this era, Western society has inherent prejudice against Eastern people.

Of course, scholars at that level of Tagore don't need this.

There is a big gap between Lin Zixuan and Tagore. Even though he can cheat as a time traveler, he still has a long way to go on the road of literature.

Lin Zixuan entered the campus of Columbia University and revisited the old place, which was quite emotional.

Since he traveled through time, five years have passed in a flash.

Thinking about the days when I just traveled through time, I thought that relying on my own level of memory, becoming a great writer is just around the corner. It was too natural and ridiculous.

This world is very big and complex. This era has many limitations, including friends and opponents.

The life of a time traveler is not a game of cheating. You can do whatever you want.

After experiencing the ups and downs of these years, Lin Zixuan understood that he was not a God or a level hero. He was just an ordinary person with some adventures.

The most important thing is to live your own life well, this is to keep yourself alone and help the world when you have the ability.

He didn't tell Lin Xiaoling in advance that he was coming. He wanted to give his sister a surprise, but he didn't want her to worry about her all the time.

When he came to the Journalism Academy, he asked.

There are not many Chinese students at Columbia University, even fewer girls. Perhaps Lin Xiaoling is the only Chinese female students who choose to major in journalism.

Generally speaking, most Chinese women study abroad and study literature and education majors, and also have music or business majors.

For example, Lin Huiyin chose architecture majors more rarely, and there were no girls interested in journalism majors.

Lin Zixuan quickly locked in the classroom where Lin Xiaoling was, and he was waiting quietly under the teaching building.

After not seeing each other for a year, he didn't know what changes had happened to this sister, whether she was originally stubborn and restrained, whether she was really studying hard or just caring about fun.

It is a New York autumn season, and in the evening, the sun sets on the campus lawn.

Lin Zixuan leaned against a tree and looked in the direction of the classroom.

Not long after, the bell rang and the students rushed out of the classroom. He saw a girl from the Eastern Kong who was holding a stack of books, walking while communicating with her classmates.

A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, intellectual and confident, and full of spirit.

Lin Xiaoling looked up inadvertently and saw the familiar figure under the tree, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Although she always says she is doing well every time she writes, she is a foreign country and is alone. She is inevitably homesick. She dreams of all kinds of dreams many times.

Similar scenes.

It was not until I saw my brother wave to her that I realized that this was not a dream.

When brothers and sisters meet, they naturally have to talk carefully.

After Lin Xiaoling was comforted, Lin Zixuan went to see lawyer Peterson the next day.

His affairs in the United States were completed through lawyer Peterson, who is an extremely important person in the United States.

Now lawyer Peterson has opened a law firm with five lawyers under his command, which is no longer the same as when he was working alone, and this is the result of Lin Zixuan's funding.

In order to enable celebrity film companies to enter the US market better, lawyer Peterson is a small shareholder of celebrity film companies.

It was through this legal way that Lin Zixuan funded lawyer Peterson to win over a trustworthy partner in the United States. He knew that cooperation cannot rely solely on friendship, but also on interests.

After several years of cooperation, lawyer Peterson obtained at least $10,000 from Lin Zixuan.

Only when both parties have common interests can such cooperation be firm.

He needs to learn from lawyer Peterson about his income in the United States, including the royalties for books and the film industry.

He also made a little investment in the United States through lawyer Peterson. Even though he didn't know much about the history of the United States during this period, he also heard about some large consortiums and large enterprises in the United States in later generations.

A company that can persist in not going bankrupt for hundreds of years is definitely worth investing in.

However, due to the restrictions on investment in Chinese by the United States, he could only do it in the name of lawyer Peterson.
