Chapter 30: Encountering Xu Zhuxian (Seeking follow-up reading, monthly ticket recommendation ticket)



Song Yi couldn't avoid it, and asked persistently: "Did Tai Xi ask you to call me?"

Li Xianzhen was very naughty, "You are right, I am going to the battle today by order."

Song Yi smiled, "I am ordered to go to war. Are you the lady-in-waiting of Queen Seondeok?"

Li Xianzhen was surprised, "You even know about Queen Seondeok. It seems that you are more familiar with our history than I am. Tae Hee said that your father is a history professor, is that right?"

"My father teaches history at Bianzhou University. He visited Yonsei University as a visiting scholar in the 1980s. At that time, China and South Korea had not yet established diplomatic relations."

"After China and South Korea established diplomatic relations, my parents sent me to study in South Korea, and I chose Yonsei University on my own," Song Yi revealed.

Li Xianzhen knew that there were many Koreans in Bianzhou, "Is Song Yi a Korean?"

Koreans have a complicated attitude towards the Koreans in Bianzhou, just like Chinese people seeing Chinatown when they go abroad. In the 1990s, many people from Bianzhou went to Korea to work, mostly doing manual labor.

At that time, Koreans treated the people from Bianzhou like poor relatives. Later, some people from Bianzhou could not bear the hardship because they often did the most tiring work and received the least salary. Some people from Bianzhou who could not bear it entered the gray industry. The movie "New World" reflects this problem.

"My father is Han and my mother is Korean, but she has never been abroad. She said she has relatives in Gangwon Province. I also asked for her in Korea, but I still have no clue," said Song Yi.

"When Brother Song Yi becomes a big shot, your aunt's relatives will take the initiative to find you and recognize you as your relatives." Li Xianzhen comforted Song Yi.

Song Yi said nothing. He had no blood relationship with his original relatives. He just wanted to fulfill his mother Zhou Shulan's wish. This was also the reason why his father Song Mingzhe was willing to be a visiting scholar at Yonsei University in South Korea in the 1980s.

Song Yi knew that what Li Xianzhen said was right, if Song Yi really became a chaebol in Korea, all his distant relatives in Korea would come to try to establish a relationship with him.

Song Yi and Li Xianzhen agreed to meet at Jonggak Station on Seoul Subway Line 1. The exit of this station is Bosingak.

Song Yi arrived at Jonggak Station first and waited for Lee Hyun Jin at the exit. After a while, Lee Hyun Jin also arrived and greeted Song Yi happily.

Lee Hyun-jin wore a khaki trench coat today, with a beige dress underneath, and her long black hair draped over her shoulders, looking much more gentle than when she was working at the TV station.

"Hyunjin looks very pretty today." Song Yi praised sincerely. Li Xianzhen covered her mouth and laughed, "Really? Thank you for the compliment, Song Yi. My mom even asked me if I was out on a date."

Many citizens of Seoul had gathered in front of Bosingak, and Song Yi and Li Xianzhen followed the crowd. On the way, Li Xianzhen gave Song Yi a brief introduction to the history of Bosingak.

Actually, Bosingak is a bell tower in Seoul. It was originally called Bell Tower, but was later renamed Bosingak in 1895. This bell tower also had a bad fate, and was burned down by fire every time there was unrest. The bronze bell of Bosingak is a replica of the sacred bell of King Seongdeok of the Silla era. The previous bronze bell is permanently collected by the National Museum of Korea.

According to the South Korean Constitution, every president officially takes office at midnight on February 25. According to tradition, the Bosingak bell will also ring 33 times on that day to announce the start of the new president's term.

As a landmark building in Seoul, Bosingak has witnessed important events in Korea's modern history. On August 15, 1945, the Japanese Emperor announced unconditional surrender, and the citizens of Seoul rang the bell at Bosingak to celebrate liberation. August 15 is also Korea's Liberation Day.

Traffic control has been implemented at the intersections around Bosingak, and vehicles are prohibited from passing. Although it is already winter, many citizens still came to the event site wearing Korean traditional costumes to participate in the bell ringing ceremony.

Li Xianzhen reminded Song Yi, "Brother Song Yi, you have to follow me closely. There are so many people here today, don't get lost."

Song Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm not a child, do you want to hold my hand so that I won't get lost?"

Li Xianzhen blushed at Song Yi's joke, "That's not what I meant. If we get separated, it will be hard to meet again. There are too many people, the signal is not good, and there are performances on the scene. Whether it's shouting or calling, you may not be able to hear it."

Song Yi then noticed a little girl wearing a Korean dress next to him. The little girl was pretty, with round eyes, a high nose, a small mouth, and a chubby face, a little baby fat.

The little girl walked a little fast and called out to the parents behind her, "Oh mom, can you please walk a little faster, or the performance of the unnies will be over."

Song Yi shook his head. He was just another star chaser. Song Yi had no good feelings towards the fanatical fans of the Korean Wave. Later, Lehua and Yixin in mainland China also learned this trick, cultivating traffic stars and making money from young fans. You can't say a bad word about their idols, otherwise they will cyberbully you in a minute.

The girl's mother should be behind her. She waved calmly, "Xu Zhuxian, slow down. There are a lot of people here today. Be careful not to fall. It's very dangerous."

Song Yi was slightly stunned when he heard this familiar name. Was it a coincidence? He and his friends just went out for a walk and they could run into the youngest member of the future girl group Girls' Generation, Seohyun? Seohyun's real name is Seo Juhyun, and Seohyun is her stage name. She is from Seoul, just like Yoona. It is normal for Seo Juhyun's mother to bring her daughter to Bosingak to participate in the New Year's bell ringing ceremony.

As the youngest member of Girls' Generation, Seohyun has never had any dating experience. Her youthful interactions with Jung Yong-hwa on the show simply melted the hearts of fans. The song "Ping Yu Song" produced by Jung Yong-hwa for Seohyun was also very touching. The two also made a romantic appointment for their tenth anniversary before the end of the show.

Song Yi observed the little girl again and found that she looked similar to the photo of her when she participated in the SM Entertainment audition, except that her face was chubby and she looked a little fatter. However, it can be seen that the nine-year-old Xu Zhuxian is already a beauty.

Song Yi asked Li Xianzhen, "Is there a girl group performing on stage today?"

Lee Hyun-jin recalled the program list previewed today, "It seems that there is a girl group preparing to perform, called SES. But who is interested in watching the girl group's performance? I still want to listen to Seo Taiji sing."

When Song Yi heard this, he immediately understood that Xu Zhuxian was obviously coming for SES. SES was the first generation girl group launched by SM Entertainment in 1997. The members were Choi Seung-hee (Sea), Yoo Jin (Eugene) and Yoo Soo-young (Shoo), so the group was named SES. Another first generation girl group of the same period was Fin.KL where Lee Hyo-ri was. Another important member of the group, Sung Yu-ri, later transformed into a famous actress.

In fact, SES was already very popular in Korea at that time, having released three albums and five Japanese EPs, and will become the spokesperson for the Japan-Korea World Cup next year. However, in Lee Hyun-jin's eyes, girl groups are still looked down upon, and they are not worthy of being in the upper class.

The Korean entertainment industry is like this, the contempt chain has always existed, and the status division is very strict. Movie actor > TV actor > singer > host > idol > gagman (comedian). If Yang Di went to the Korean entertainment industry, he would be at the end of the contempt chain.

Of course, there are also differences between movie actors, and Chungmuro ​​actors are undoubtedly at the top of the pyramid of the Korean entertainment industry. They have won box office acclaim with their outstanding acting skills, and have also won the Blue Dragon Award, the Daejong Award, and the Baeksang Arts Awards. Chungmuro ​​is undoubtedly synonymous with the Korean film and cultural world.

The status of boy bands is often higher than that of girl bands, because the status of Korean girl bands is really very low, and some girl bands from small companies even have to rely on skirting the line to attract fans. No wonder some people say that girl bands are actually puppets of chaebols.

At this time, Song Yi clearly felt that the flow of people was even greater. Song Yi was squeezed down from time to time, and Song Yi pulled Li Xianzhen to the side to avoid being tripped by the crowd. In such a crowded place, once a stampede occurred, the consequences would be disastrous.

Xu Zhuxian and her mother were squeezed away by the crowd. The little girl was obviously a little panicked, "Oh mom, oh mom, where are you?"

Xu Zhuxian stood in the crowd and refused to move, but the people behind her wanted to squeeze forward to watch the performance. However, she was not tall enough, less than 1.4 meters, and she looked around in the crowd, looking for her mother, and was almost tripped by the crowd several times.

Song Yi couldn't stand it any longer, so he squeezed to the center of the crowd and said to Xu Zhuxian, "Xu Zhuxian, don't stand there stupidly. There are more and more people behind you. There is a stone bench on the side of the road. If you stand on it, your mother will be able to see you."

Xu Zhuxian looked at Song Yi with a vigilant look on her face. She was just young, not stupid. What if she followed Song Yi to the corner and Song Yi took her away? She still wanted to wait for her mother to come and meet her.

Seeing that Xu Zhuxian refused to move, Song Yi became anxious and looked around, and finally saw Xu Zhuxian's mother. He waved to Xu's mother and shouted, "Xu Zhuxian's mother, your daughter is here."

Seeing Song Yi's movements and voices, Xu's mother struggled to get closer to Song Yi. After a few minutes, Xu Zhuxian finally reunited with her mother.

Song Yi looked at the crowds that were coming one after another and said to Mother Xu, "There are so many people now. It's too dangerous to walk in the middle. If you get squeezed down by accident, you won't be able to get up for a long time."

"How about I lead the way and you follow behind, and we'll go to the roadside to meet my friends first." Song Yi suggested.

Mother Xu took a look at Song Yi. Her first impression of him was that he didn't look like a bad person. She was a little scared now, so she followed Song Yi forward.

Li Xianzhen was not idle at this time. She stood on the stone bench and acted as a temporary safety officer, calling on everyone not to squeeze and walk forward slowly. Li Xianzhen also noticed Song Yi and called Song Yi and the others to join her.

Standing on a high place, Li Xianzhen clearly saw Song Yi's move to protect Xu Zhuxian. She explained to Xu's mother the dangerous situation Xu Zhuxian was in. If Song Yi did not come to rescue and protect Xu Zhuxian with the strength of an adult man, Xu Zhuxian would most likely be knocked down by the crowd behind.

Mother Xu looked at the crowd behind her and took a deep breath, knowing that what Li Xianzhen said was the truth. Mother Xu shook hands with Song Yi and Li Xianzhen, thanking them again and again.

Mother Xu said to Li Xianzhen: "Ms. Li, you and your boyfriend are great. Thank you. I am proud of your parents for raising such excellent children."

Li Xianzhen was embarrassed now, "Auntie, you misunderstood. He is not my boyfriend. I was asked by my good friend to bring her boyfriend to Bosingak to participate in the bell ringing ceremony."

Mother Xu was stunned for a moment, wondering if young people in Korea are having so much fun now? A girl actually asked her best friend to accompany her boyfriend out for fun?

Xu Zhuxian looked at Song Yi and Li Xianzhen, and then focused her eyes on Song Yi. She pursed her lips, as if she wanted to remember Song Yi's face in her heart.

Xu Zhuxian thought to herself, "Although this brother Song Yi is a very nice person and helped me when we first met. But he has a girlfriend, and he actually dated other girls alone. He seems very philandering. It's true that the more handsome a man is, the less reliable he is." Obviously, Song Yi left a very deep first impression on Xu Zhuxian.
