Chapter 207 Invitation from Kyoto University
"It's been a long time since I've been back to my alma mater. I really miss my junior students." Hou Qingxi couldn't help but sigh with emotion on the way to Kyoto University.
"I think you miss your schoolmates." Lin Tian teased.
"Hey, I miss you all, I miss you all."
"However, I am also curious. After all, you are a top student at Kyoto University. Didn't you have a girlfriend before?"
"Brother Tian, I haven't met the right one. Didn't you have a girlfriend for four years of college?"
"Uh." Lin Tian didn't expect that he was the one who was embarrassed, so he couldn't help but said angrily, "I studied hard in college and made progress every day. What about you? What have you done? Write two songs for me and let me see."
"Uh, what a slip of the tongue, how can I compare with Brother Tian? Look, the school has invited you back to perform for the new students."
"That's right. So you have to work harder and wait until one day the school can invite you back."
"I'd better forget it, I don't have that ambition."
Lin Tian shook his head helplessly and said nothing more.
The car soon arrived at Kyoto University. Someone was greeting Lin Tian and his party. When he got out of the car, he saw that it was Fu Liheng.
"Lin Tian, welcome back to your alma mater."
"Hello, Mr. Fu."
"This is Hou Qingxi. I heard that you are also a graduate of Kyoto University. You are welcome to come back often."
"Professor Fu, I would be happy to come back if I have the chance, haha."
"Lin Tian, let's go in from here first. I'll introduce you to some people in the school."
Fu Liheng said, guiding Lin Tian to a reception room behind the school auditorium. At this time, some people were already sitting in the reception room. Seeing Lin Tian and others coming in, many people stood up to say hello.
Fu Liheng introduced Lin Tian to the leaders of the Chinese Department. After all, Lin Tian graduated from the Chinese Department, and there was also a vice principal of the school.
After some pleasantries, Fu Liheng and others took their seats.
When Lin Tian saw this posture, he thought he had something to say. As expected, Fu Liheng said:
"Lin Tian, all of you here are old alumni and teachers, let's not beat around the bush. We also know that you joined the Literary Association, but you don't want any position. It is said that Chairman Luyao has agreed and is going through the process. What about today? , taking advantage of this opportunity, our relevant departments and school leaders are also here, and we sincerely invite you to serve as a visiting professor in our Chinese Department of Kyoto University."
Seeing that Lin Tian wanted to refuse, Fu Liheng waved his hand and continued, "You did refuse once before. We also understand that your current career focus is not here, but we still very much hope that you can join, not for any other reason, just to bring you The "music" created will be carried forward."
"In addition, considering that you have other careers, the position we invite you to serve is only a visiting professor, but the treatment is no different from that of a full professor. There is no teaching task, only one subject task, which is the theoretical research of "Qu". As for Teaching depends entirely on your time and arrangements.”
Lin Tian didn't expect that he had already refused before, but this time Kyoto University still mentioned the invitation to him, but this time it was obvious that Kyoto University had made preparations, and the conditions proposed were not very good, but they were indeed more in line with his reality. Lin Tian himself was a little moved by the situation.
Seeing that Lin Tian was still thinking, the leader of the Chinese Department also spoke, "Lin Tian, you are also from our Chinese Department. You understand how difficult it is for a new literary form to emerge. I believe it took a lot of time for you to create the song. With great thoughts, you definitely don’t want the music to be just a flash in the pan, because although you have already composed three songs, or it is possible that you will compose some more songs in the future, it is still too few and too slow. Our invitation to you is just I hope you can devote some energy to paying attention to the research and development of the song."
Lin Tian thought about it and realized that these were indeed only good for him and not harmful. After thinking about it, Lin Tian decided:
"Dear leaders and teachers, I am very grateful and understand your interest in me and the music. I won't say any more. I agree to accept your invitation."
"Okay!" Several leaders present finally smiled.
Fu Liheng was also excited, "Lin Tian, welcome, we will be colleagues from now on, and I will have to ask you for more advice in the future."
"Yes, Lin Tian, your poems are so good. If you have the opportunity, you can also guide us."
"And that song, I hope you can study it carefully. That song is so good."
Seeing how polite the professors were, Lin Tian quickly stood up and said, "It's not appropriate to ask for guidance, but we can communicate more with each other."
"Yes, yes, communicate more with each other."
After the business was settled, Lin Tian and others chatted casually. After a while, Kyoto University's new year's welcome party began.
The front part was filled with some performances rehearsed by the freshmen. Near the end of the program, the host introduced:
"Everyone knows that in the past few months this year, we have an incredible graduate from Kyoto University. He has almost dominated the headlines in June, July, and August. Do you know who he is?"
The news that Lin Tian was going to perform was not told to the students in advance. After all, it was a school and they were afraid of causing unnecessary commotion. When the host said this, the teachers and students below instantly became commotion.
"It's not Lin Tian who's coming."
"It's Lin Tian. Lin Tian graduated from Kyoto University."
"I haven't heard of it. It can't be true that Lin Tian is coming."
"The most popular one in the past few months is Lin Tian, who has dominated the hot searches for several months."
Seeing the incredible discussion among the teachers and students, the host suppressed his surprise and excitement and said loudly, "Yes, it is our senior Lin Tian. Today we also specially invited senior Lin Tian to send blessings to our new students. Next, Let us welcome Senior Lin Tian to the stage with warm applause."
"Wow!"
"It's really Lin Tian!"
There was an exclamation in the entire venue, followed by huge and warm applause. Lin Tian, dressed in a white suit, slowly walked onto the stage.
"Senior Lin Tian, welcome."
"Hello host."
"Senior Lin Tian must have returned to his alma mater for the first time since graduation."
"I feel ashamed to say that this is indeed the first time I have returned to my alma mater after graduation, and it is also the first time I have stood on the school auditorium stage since I was in college. I can't help it, I was too undistinguished before."
"Hahahahaha" there was a burst of laughter from below.
"Since this is the first time I have returned to my alma mater after graduation, and it is the first time I have appeared on the school stage in so many years, shouldn't we be given some good performances today?"
"Of course, it is an honor for me to return to the stage of my alma mater."
"Okay, before the performance, looking at so many of our young juniors and juniors, do you have anything to say to them?"
"Well, actually I don't know what to say. I just saw a lot of people liking me. In fact, I'm nothing special. I just read more books, tried more things, and wrote more things when I was in school. Some, of course, are because I am from the Chinese Department, so I also hope that my fellow students will read more, try more, practice more, and integrate knowledge with practice."
