After a two-hour flight, Wu Tong arrived safely at Beijing Capital International Airport at 4:30 p.m. After sending a message home to let her know she had landed safely, she left Terminal 3 and was met by Professor Li, who was waiting for her.
"Teacher Li!" Wu Tong smiled and waved, pushing his suitcase forward quickly. "Happy New Year! Please pick me up on New Year's Eve!"
"Happy New Year! We finally meet again, Wu Tong!" Li Yisheng smiled brightly as he stepped forward and took the suitcase from Wu Tong. "What's the problem? In a few years, you might not even have the chance to take me in!"
This was to wish Wu Tong success and some people rushed to pick her up at the airport.
"Thank you, Teacher Li, for your kind words. No matter what, I am still your student!"
As he spoke, Li Yishen led Wu Tong to find his car. It was a stable and majestic black color with a typical Volkswagen logo. As for what series it was, please forgive her for having little knowledge of cars and only recognizing a few common logos.
"I'll take you to the school first to get familiar with it, and then take you out for dinner." On the way back, Li Yishen and Wu Tong discussed the arrangements.
Traffic flow is a rare experience in a capital city on holiday. A journey of over 30 kilometers took only about 30 minutes to complete.
"This is the iconic gate of Peking University." Li Yisheng deliberately entered the school through the main gate and introduced it to Wu Tong. "This was once a plaque inscribed by Mr. Yuanpei. After our school moved to Yanyuan, in 1952, at the request of the Student Union, the chairman personally wrote it to Peking University and enlarged it to create the current plaque!"
The glorious history of Peking University begins from the moment you step through this door. It is a glory that is difficult to describe in a short time. School will start in September, and Wu Tong will also become a Peking University student. The sense of identity and belonging should be cultivated from now on.
Wu Tong looked out of the car window and saw a classical three-door vermilion-painted palace building facing east and west. It had a simple, solemn and elegant style, and a strong national atmosphere filled the air.
Wu Tong really liked what a Peking University president said about two years later, regarding a special case: "You are a Peking University student. If you see an elderly person fall, go and help him. If he tries to blackmail you, the Peking University Law School will provide you with legal aid. If you lose the case, Peking University will compensate you!"
Such protection and dominance, she once sighed in her memory, thinking that being a student of this school would be very reassuring! Now, she was about to officially become a student of this school, today, she would enter this holy place she had longed for to study.
Looking at the four big words "BJ University" with gold strokes on a blue background, a slight smile crossed her lips. Her efforts were worth it. By entering Kyoto University, she had awakened her past life memories and taken the first small step towards change.
Wu Tong was quite happy to finally enter this school she had never dared to dream of attending. Li Yisheng took Wu Tong to the Shaoyuan Graduate Student Dormitory. "This is the Shaoyuan Doctoral Dormitory that Teacher Zhou applied for you!"
The university doesn't start that early, but Wu Tong had communicated in advance, and the school had arranged Wu Tong's accommodation before the holiday. Mr. Zhou from the Admissions Office was very impressed by his greatest achievement this year and specially helped Wu Tong apply for a good accommodation.
The doctoral student dormitory can be said to be the best student dormitory in Peking University. This area is for outstanding direct doctoral students to live in single rooms. The rooms are not big, but they have private bathrooms and convenient living facilities.
The public kitchen is equipped with some simple appliances such as refrigerators and microwaves. It is not easy for graduate students to apply for dormitories here.
"Thank you teachers for your hard work!" Wu Tong was very grateful.
When she didn't know, the teachers were silently worrying so much about her. It was really troublesome!
"Haha... You're outstanding enough to impress Teacher Zhou. You should thank yourself for choosing Peking University. We, Peking University students who came a step ahead, must let you experience the humanistic spirit of Peking University!" Fearing that Wu Tong might feel psychologically burdened, Li Yisheng explained with a smile: "Otherwise, Teacher Zhou would have no chance to worry about you even if he wanted to!"
Although the cooked duck cannot escape, identifying with Kyoto University from the heart and doing it reluctantly are two completely different results. As university teachers, they are very clear about this.
For students like Wu Tong, they naturally hope that their children can have a stronger sense of belonging to Peking University.
In the dormitory, there was a single bed placed in the middle, with a bookshelf and desk next to it. The bedding and sheets were all standard. Wu Tong took a quick look and found that all the rest conditions were met. She didn't see anything she needed to buy.
After getting to know the place and helping Wu Tong put his luggage into the dormitory, Li Yishen took Wu Tong to eat first. They didn't go to any other place specifically, but to Shaoyuan Canteen, so that Wu Tong could get familiar with the place where they usually ate.
"Kyoto University hasn't officially reopened yet, so most faculty and students are on vacation. However, to accommodate students who remain on campus, most campus cafeterias were closed or operated on a rotating basis during the Spring Festival. Now, they're mostly open, providing meals for those who remain. There's plenty of choice, so there's no need to worry about food.
Let's go to Shaoyuan Restaurant now. It's a good choice for a bite to eat and it's closest to the dormitory building!"
The cafeteria at Kyoto University is quite reliable. The food isn't exceptional, but it's pretty good for a university cafeteria. Shaoyuan Restaurant, in particular, is a popular spot for graduates to gather for dinners and thank-you dinners, and it's truly delicious.

After dinner, Wu Tong took out two boxes of tea prepared at home and handed them over with a smile.
"Teacher Li, this is Shenzhou Maojian tea, a specialty of our province. It's produced not far from my home, in Shenzhou City next door. My uncle went to the production area to get it. Let me give it to you. What's the difference between it and the tea here in Shangjing?"
Shenzhou Maojian is still very famous in the Central Plains Province. Most of the people who entertain guests there use Maojian tea, but the grade of tea used varies from family to family.
Jinyuan has many friends and some high-quality old customers to maintain. Every year, during the tea picking season, he will go to the tea producing area to buy a lot of high-quality Maojian tea. He has made a friend in the tea producing area. His family is from Xihe and runs a tea plantation.
"Enjoy your drink later. I'll bring some back for you when I go home. My uncle goes to the production area every year, so the quality and authenticity of the source are guaranteed. It's absolutely authentic!"
This time, thinking about Wu Tong going to Beijing, the professor took great care of him. The whole family was grateful. It was the Chinese New Year, so we wanted to prepare some New Year gifts for the teachers.
Other things were difficult to take, and since the tea was also very elegant, I specially packed some special Maojian tea for Wu Tong to keep as a gift to her teacher. As a newcomer, Wu Tong didn't know much about the local customs, so it was not easy to go directly to Professor Li's door, so I didn't bother to be polite and presented it to him in person.
"Teacher has received your kindness. Don't be so polite next time!" Li Yishen scolded, but he accepted the gift after all. It was the New Year's day and it was a token of the child's kindness. Later he asked his wife to prepare some convenient meals and send them to the child. If he was hungry while studying, it would be enough to fill his stomach. Children of this age are still growing!
The boy in his family is only two or three years younger than Wu Tong. He has entered a period of rapid growth and development in the past two years. When he comes home, he is like a hungry wolf and wants to stuff everything into his mouth.
