In the 21st century, there is still a lot of literature that records this history. In almost all the literature, the American people have welcomed students from the Qing Empire.
Obviously, it's all beautification of art. The real fact is that these children from the mysterious and ancient empire in the far east just arrived in San Francisco and were surrounded by Americans. Of course, this "onlooking" was not well-intentioned.
If the people under the rule of the Qing government at this time were foolish, the quality of Americans was also very good, especially in California, where it was even Mexico's territory 20 years ago, and in the 1848 US-Mexico War The United States took half of Mexico's territory, and the California area then became US territory.
Prior to 1848, San Francisco was not called San Francisco, but Eva Buena, also known as San Francisco. Before 1848, there were even more than 800 people in the entire area of San Francisco. Within three months, the population here had skyrocketed to 25,000 people, a significant portion of which were Chinese trafficked here to mine.
The United States is an immigrant country. If the original Americans were all rundowns, criminals, and adventurers who could not survive in Europe, then California is also the same. Because of the westward movement of the United States, there are many opportunities on the East Coast. The Americans came to the west and participated in the vigorous westward movement. Don't think that these people are of high quality. Perhaps they are dressed like gentlemen and ladies. In fact, they are almost the same as those criminals who just arrived in the American continent a century ago. .
Before Mike brought the carriage, Li Mu used this time to spread some knowledge about San Francisco to the Yan family.
The effect was still obvious. After Li Mu finished speaking, the anxiety that the Yan family originally looked at the foreigners around them quickly disappeared, and replaced by disdain and contempt.
Although the Yan family had a low social status in the Qing Empire as slaves, they always worked in the royal palace, and they were honest duty members. They had never worked as criminals. From a psychological point of view, These "criminals" in Li Mu's mouth still have advantages.
This is a problem of understanding the world. Prior to the Yan family ’s impression, the foreigners in China were all “foreign adults”. They belonged to the privileged class. They were the masters who even the Qing empire officials must be careful to serve. When faced with foreigners, the Yan family who was slaves naturally lowered their heads psychologically, feeling inferior and uneasy from the heart.
It's different now. After Li Mu exposed the old man of these foreigners, Yan's family immediately had the concept of "foreigners."
This concept is actually true. The Chinese world has a tradition of "parents are not far away." In general, unless the hometown suffers from natural disasters and human disasters, and life is not secure, the Chinese will not leave their hometowns. In the Chinese ideology, "people leave The concept of "village" is deeply rooted in people's hearts, but as long as there is still a little way, people will not leave their hometown to enter the world. Since these foreigners in front of them are all poor people who have left their hometown, they are nothing extraordinary.
The change in thought must be reflected in the action, so Mike was a little surprised to return with the two carriages.
"What's wrong with them? What magic did you do to them?" Of course Mike could feel it. Don't just leave for such a short time, everyone in the Yan family looked at him without much awe and even compassion. The composition of this place really surprised Mike.
If Mike is set according to Li Mu's theory, then Mike is also a "poor man."
Think about it, Mike is an American who is living in the Far East, and the United States is an immigration country. This means that Mike was unsatisfied in Europe first, and then came to the United States from Europe. As a result, he still did not make a fool in the United States. Went to the Far East-
How miserable this is, it's almost going to circle the earth!
Li Mu did not explain. After Mike took the initiative to help Li Mu open the carriage door, Li Mu was able to get on the car.
No way, who makes Li Mu a Mike's creditor? There is no such thing as "the debt is the grandfather". People are still very simple, debt repayment is justified, and he can't be a grandson honestly.
Mike followed Li Mu on the same carriage, and there was Chu Xue.
Chu Xue's current status is Li Mu's personal maid. Since she is "close", she must be a bit "close", and it is only a basic requirement to stay in step.
When the car door is closed, the inside of the car and the noisy car are suddenly two worlds. Although the noise outside still comes in continuously through the car with poor sound insulation, but it is in a closed, narrow space. There was still a lot of security, at least Li Mu clearly heard Chu Xue's breath.
"We're going to the Golden Mountain Hotel first. This is the place where the Young Children's Overseas Development Bureau is scheduled to rest. Take a break at the Golden Mountain Hotel. Then we take the train to Springfield in New England. It will be our long journey. The last stop— "In the carriage, Mike was busy introducing the next itinerary, but Li Mu's mind was not on it.
When Li Mu was sitting in the carriage, a total of 30 foreign students were lined up on the pier. Old man Chen was communicating with an official from the Foreign Affairs Bureau of a young child who appeared to have arrived in San Francisco earlier. On the opposite side, several Americans who looked like journalists were busy, and they were going to take a few photos to use as promotional materials for the next period.
Children have no fear of the new camera. They have taken photos when they boarded the ship in Shanghai, and now they are just curious.
Yan Shun's performance is still very good. Although it is an impostor, Yan Shun is not very restrained. What other children do, he also does, and because of his tall body, Yan Shun always stands at the end of the team. In a row, this made Yan Shun look like everyone else.
Soon, the children lined up in a neat line on the dock under the direction of the photographer, taking their first group photo when they arrived in the American continent.
This was the long-awaited carriage finally coming by, and the children boarded the car one after another. At this time, Yan Shun was diligently looking for Li Mu.
Li Mu had long been ready, pushed the car door and probed out half of the body to make a quiet gesture for Yan Shun, after watching Yan Shun also got into the carriage, he was relieved.
It seems that all children are gentlemen, with the exception of little fat men.
When Li Mu boarded the carriage, the fat man was kicking and kicking Lao Zheng, and Li Mu finally knew how many people the fat man's followers had. That was a team of more than forty people, almost out of the ocean. There are even more officials.
The fat man has a special identity, and the old man did not dare to neglect. He has prepared a carriage for the fat man.
But Fatty's servants are not under the protection of the Young Children's Foreign Trade Bureau, so there is only one carriage, and it is obvious that there is no one in the Fatty's team who speaks English, so Fatty is a little worried.
"Hey, fat man, would you like to go with me?" Li Mu pulled the door of the car door and invited the little fat man.
The fat man ran over quickly, pulled the car door and got in.
"What did you call me just now? You, a rebellious dog thing, I have to let you know that Lord Ma has three eyes today—" The fat man's first sentence made Li Mu's urge to get out of the car.
This is nothing special.
