  Chapter 70 Returning to China

   "I can't believe that my subordinates didn't come to hold a farewell ceremony outside the hotel." Dennis packed his bags and said to Tommy next to him with some disappointment.

  Outside the hotel, there were only a few scattered local black people looking at them, and some American tourists who were attracted by the TV program kept pressing the shutter on the high school students who had appeared on the TV before.

  It was not until they arrived at the airport and were about to board the plane to bid farewell to the country that they saw a team of policemen in neat uniforms and neatly marching on both sides of the aisle, and the simple aisle was rarely paved with a red carpet symbolizing grandeur.

This country has been with them crazy, watching their wayward governor, prime minister, home secretary, defense secretary, police chief, etc., standing in front of the plane, wearing the most solemn clothes they can put on, with serious expressions He looked at these high school students who were about to return home.

  The high school students looked at each other, Governor Allen Lewis spoke slowly at this time:

"Thank you, young leaders from the United States, me and the officials of our country. I am here at this moment. I don't want to say goodbye to you in a hypocritical way. We are here to tell you very seriously. We speak from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you all, because you have given this country the opportunity to grow again. Yes, growth, the so-called growth, is to face up to one's own incompetence and cowardice, to ignore those hypocritical praises, and to be ridiculed and humiliated again and again. Crush dignity, but glue it together again and again until it grows stronger each time, St. Vincent and the Grenadas will live up to what you have done for it, and we will use this growth to be reborn."

"At the same time, we also hope that former cabinet officials will come to this country to take a look at it again in their spare time in the future and witness its changes. No matter when, you are the most honored guests of this country. Your names and this summer will be honored. Recorded in the history of St. Vincent, it is our best memory with everyone, and we decided to seal this memory. St. Vincent will not open this kind of activity in the future. We want to be like a real country full of vitality and continuous efforts Struggling, instead of using absurdity and role-playing to continue to sensationalize, I think you don't want to see this country really become a clown."

"Maybe 20 million is just an insignificant amount to young people who may be worth hundreds of millions in the future, but it is the most important nourishment for this country to usher in a new life. We will build hospitals, schools, libraries, Cherish this hard-won funds, and finally, the Governor of St. Vincent and all the members of the new cabinet, thank you for everything you have done for this country, thank you.” The 70-year-old governor finished speaking, and took the officials around him, seriously Take a bow to these high school students.

"Oops, I forgot to prepare a speech." David muttered in a low voice, and then said to Tommy next to him: "I leave it to you, Tommy, so that our group of leaders who have left office don't sound like a clown."

  Hearing David's words, and seeing that the other high school students didn't intend to speak, but looked at him, Tommy took a deep breath and took a step forward:

"For those of us high school students, there seem to be many ways to grow up. Maybe a comfort from a friend, maybe a broken relationship, or just you and your companions trying to get a bottle of whiskey and then drunk into a stupid bird, can make yourself in the world. Afterwards, I feel that I have grown up, but this summer camp is different, at least for me, it is very different. It made me understand that real growth is self-knowledge and introspection. Every time I make a decision, I keep reminding myself, I am not a real leader, but a clown who came here to gain honor. Time and time again, I used difficult and embarrassing self-examination to strengthen my heart, and let me and these companions around me understand that maybe We are not the leaders of a country in the true sense, and we may continue to repeat the boring and dull life after we return to the country, but I, each of us, at least know one thing, that is, we will not be the clown of fate for the rest of our lives."

   "I am very happy and honored to be able to learn to truly grow in St. Vincent. Please allow me and my companions to pay tribute to this country and everyone who accompanied us to play willfully."

One after another high school students carried their bags and shook hands with Prime Minister Madouf and others, and then boarded the plane. Tommy was last in line. The Governor held Tommy's hand, and said with a childish low voice, "Say hello to him for me. "

   "Who?" Tommy asked puzzled.

  The governor blinked: "A person who will be as grateful to you as I am."

  …

  During the entire voyage, Tommy Hawke never figured out who the governor was talking about.

Lincoln High School’s itinerary is much more boring than St. Vincent’s. The regular summer camp process, visits, trial courses, lectures by university professors and other arrangements quickly made high school students realize the boring reality. Compared with the boring courses at this time Wake up, life in St. Vincent was like a dream.

For example, Gavin Ladd, a professor at the School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, delivered a keynote speech on "Innovation for a Successful Society" at the Summer Summit on stage. Instigated by Dennis a long time ago, he was pulled to study how to use the school TV to watch small movies for free.

Even though Gavin Ladd has been as blunt as possible, even citing their experience in St. Vincent to explain public sector reform, urban management, decentralization, etc., it is clear that these topics are too obscure for high school students. At that time, I didn't think about the problem that Professor Gavin Ladd said at all. The main reason why I was willing to do those things was completely out of the blood and passion of high school students.

  The summer camp with only four days left in Lincoln High School was finally over. The ten members of the CSLS committee sent off other summer camp students and then took a look at each other.

   "CSLS is about to usher in a new group of **** commissioners, right?" Kevin was the first to say to Tommy with a smile, "It's as if you found us in the first issue and were picked out of nowhere."

With a cigarette in his mouth, Tommy looked at the bus that was getting farther and farther away: "I have already applied to the school. The second phase and other follow-up summer camp activities will be arranged by the school to take over. I have already got what I want. I will continue to follow up." There are other social activities arranged, CSLS will still exist in the future, but the committee composed of students should not appear again, just like the simulated life in St. Vincent, it will not reappear."

   "It's a pity that those high school students can't experience the most exciting summer camp activities." Although Catherine said regret in her mouth, her face turned into a flower with a smile.

  Tommy looked at Catherine: "Your expression of regret doesn't look too obvious, Your Lady Queen."

   "If everyone can experience it, how can I show off my uniqueness?" Catherine said proudly: "I have participated, and they can only envy them for a lifetime, which makes me feel even more happy."

"Dude, you and Stephen are now applying for a major in film and television. I guarantee that no famous school will reject it. The co-producer of Nickelodeon's most popular program, this is a real qualification." David Shafer let out a depressed tone: "One Thinking of going back to Georgia and continuing to live a poor life, I can't help but want to go back to St. Vincent, casinos, offshore banks, hemp...there are countless opportunities to make money in that country, but in the end I can only continue to let black classmates Help steal books from the library."

  Stephen lit a cigarette: "I am very happy to spend this happy summer with everyone, although most of the time I am like a fool, acting as Frank's personal nanny."

Several people laughed when they heard what he said. Although Frank has excellent wrestling ability, he has extremely poor self-care ability, which is completely opposite to Steve who lived in a boarding school since he was a child. During this time, Steve reminded Frank how to Take care of yourself in life.

   "I think that in the future, some of us will become writers, some will engage in film art, and then record and film this summer." Tommy Hawk looked at several people and said:

"Before that day comes, all of us must live happily, fall in love, marry, and have children, and then when they reach our age, let them replace us and reproduce this summer on the screen, and we will Holding popcorn, sitting down watching them perform, laughing out loud."

   Several people laughed, Chris nodded: "That's a good idea, it would be even better if the premiere was changed to St. Vincent"

"I have a question." Dennis raised his hand, attracting everyone's attention: "What if Catherine marries me, I mean, what should we do in this situation? It always feels weird to have our two children playing us in emotional scenes." weird."

  Catherine turned her head away, and said with disgust: "Do you think I might marry you? Even if I marry Pam Marvell, I won't marry you. At least Pam knows how to help with wiring during power outages."

"Catherine, I have Carly, and she will come to Lincoln High School next year." Pam looked at Catherine and said solemnly, "I understand your desire to date outstanding boys, but I don't have enough time for you. too much."

   Catherine made a puke motion, and everyone laughed.

"How about we do the last bad thing?" After laughing, Zoe looked at several people: "Let's get a small tattoo, a unique pattern for ten of us, to commemorate the unique CSLS, and commemorate the unique summer. "

  Ten high school students looked at each other and walked out of Lincoln High School in the summer sunshine.
