On the first day after the holiday, which was the May Fourth Youth Day, Kyoto University held a "Speech Contest to Commemorate the 90th Anniversary of the May Fourth Movement", and Sun Qimiao successfully entered the finals.
The theme of her speech was "The Spirit of the Rule of Law and the Responsibility of Youth - Looking at the Mission of Contemporary Legal Professionals from the Perspective of the May Fourth Movement."
Sun Qimiao stood on the podium in the auditorium of the Law Building, wearing a navy blue suit that she had bought specially for her return home this time. The Peking University emblem on her chest sparkled under the light.
The cover of the New Youth magazine in 1919 was projected on the big screen behind her, and the table of contents of the latest issue of China Legal Science in 2009 was displayed next to it.
"Ninety years ago," she said in a clear and firm voice, "our predecessors shouted in the streets, 'Fight for national sovereignty abroad and punish traitors at home.' Today—" she held up the Legal Daily of the day, with the front page reporting the latest developments of the South China Sea arbitration case, "we lawyers must use the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea to defend national rights and interests in international courts."
"Yunxi, my whole body goes numb after hearing this!" Guo Xinyue excitedly grabbed Jian Yunxi's arm. Jian Yunxi's eyes were also filled with tears. Two scenes echoed in her mind.
On one side is the turbulent storm of history, on the other side is the gentleness and tenderness of youth.
The "Give Me Back Qingdao" banner flying on the streets of Qingdao in 1919 overlaps with the photo she and Lu Yang took at the May Fourth Square during the summer vacation of 2007.
From the corner of his eye, Jian Yunxi saw Professor Xu nodding slightly on the jury panel. The words quoted by Sun Qimiao were exactly what Professor Xu repeatedly emphasized in the previous lecture - "A legal professional's patriotism is to write every agency statement as a love letter to the motherland."
Jian Yunxi didn't wait until the final award ceremony, she rushed to Tsinghua University.
Unlike the free and open speeches at Peking University, the campus of Tsinghua University is filled with solemn and rigorous May Fourth propaganda posters.
Lu Yang is responsible for organizing the "May Fourth Spirit in Code" themed programming marathon.
Following Lu Yang's instructions, Jian Yunxi found his temporary work area, the blue tent on the lawn in front of the School of Computer Science.
There was a banner hanging in front of the tent, with the words "Commemorating the 90th Anniversary of the May Fourth Movement - Writing a Youth Manifesto of the New Era with Algorithms" printed on it. Next to it was a small whiteboard with the rules of the activity written on it: participating teams must complete the development of a program that embodies the spirit of "science" and "democracy" within 12 hours.
Lu Yang was standing in front of the whiteboard and talking to a leader-like person. Jian Yunxi felt that Lu Yang was in high spirits at the moment, and she couldn't help but take out her cell phone to take a picture of him.
Lu Yang and his team built an OCR recognition system. Although Jian Yunxi didn't understand it, she subconsciously thought it was very powerful because the leader opposite Lu Yang kept nodding his head and even patted Lu Yang on the shoulder before leaving.
A few more girls came forward with their cell phones and said something, and Lu Yang shook his head.
When he turned around, he saw Jian Yunxi standing outside on the lawn, looking at him and smiling. His expression changed from smile to ecstasy.
"Yunxi, when did you come?" Lu Yang took two steps at a time and crossed the lawn. A few strands of his hair were soaked with sweat, and the cuffs of his white shirt were rolled up to his elbows. Jian Yunxi suddenly thought of a word: sexy.
"Lu Yang, you look really good in a white shirt!"
Jian Yunxi had only seen him wearing a shirt a few times. He usually liked to wear comfortable T-shirts and sweatshirts, so most of his clothes were sports brands.
Lu Yang was stunned when he heard this, and reached out to rub Jian Yunxi's hair: "Do you like it? If you like it, I will wear it every day in the future."
"No!" Jian Yunxi pretended to be angry and looked at him: "Because he is too handsome, only I can see him!"
Lu Yang was secretly delighted, but pretended to be calm on the surface. He coughed and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll take you to our group's tent. Wait for me and I'll take you to dinner later."
In the tent, Cao Shuchen was typing on the keyboard intently. Wang Pu and Shi Dongdong were sitting beside him drinking soda in a very ungraceful manner. When they saw Jian Yunxi coming in, they got so flustered that they almost spilled the soda.
Jian Yunxi was amused by their funny appearance and couldn't stop laughing: "You guys do your work, I'm not here to supervise you."
"Well, I'll go take a look outside." After Wang Pu said that, he pulled Shi Dongdong away, leaving Cao Shuchen alone still fighting against the code.
Jian Yunxi looked at the code running on the computer and couldn't understand it at all, but she could see the difference of this program.
"Hey, why does a little man always appear?"
Lu Yang was stunned: "Yunxi, you are such a treasure. You discovered this."
It turns out that this little man is an Easter egg that Lu Yang secretly added to the program. Every time their system recognizes keywords such as "democracy" and "science", the cartoon man will pop up to remind them that they have gained something.
Jian Yunxi felt a little embarrassed by the compliments, but anyone could tell if they looked carefully.
"Lu Yang, come and see!" Cao Shuchen's voice rang out.
Lu Yang took a closer look and found that a complete handwritten declaration from the May Fourth Movement period was identified.
"Hey, Gu Weijun!" Jian Yunxi suddenly found three big words popping up on Lu Yang's computer screen: Gu Weijun is "China's youngest diplomat."
"This is done by scanning his signature to retrieve the document behind it." As he spoke, the computer beeped and a scanned copy of Gu Weijun's "On the Shandong Issue" in 1919 appeared on the screen.
Jian Yunxi suddenly pointed at the edge of the screen and said, "This 'May Fourth Movement' stamp...why does it look like it was just put on?" The bright ink was incompatible with the yellowed file.
Seeing that Jian Yunxi was very interested, Lu Yang patiently explained, "This is the AR special effect we made. When you scan the keywords, a dynamic seal will appear..." He tapped the keyboard a few times, and the seal suddenly turned into a group of flying pigeons, forming the words "90th Anniversary".
