There are not many tourists in the entire Asian region, and a few of them look like Japanese. You can tell by listening to the awkward English.

The exhibition hall No. 217 of the Metropolitan Museum is not large, only 200 square meters. It is a glass ceiling above, which adopts natural light.

This is a classical courtyard of the Ming Dynasty called "Mingxuan". The imitation is the spring robe of Suzhou Netshiyuan Palace.

His former generation Sun Dahai made a joke about this name. He always thought it was the Huochun Palace, but he didn't know that it was a Huochun Palace.

The huo is a small house next to the attic, a small study, and the huochun means late spring and the turn of spring and summer. The name of the huochun is derived from Su Shi's "Thank you for the chemical industry and pity loneliness, and still leaves the spring breeze of the peony palace."

The imitation of this courtyard is a cultural exchange activity after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. Both governments attach great importance to it, and many scholars and architectural experts participated in the review, including the famous architect Mr. I.M. Pei.

Mingxuan is the first classical garden work in China to go global. It is said that all building materials were produced in China according to ancient methods and were finally built in the exhibition hall No. 217 of the Metropolitan Museum.

When Sun Dahai, his former generation, came to visit the Metropolitan Museum, because he was with a tour group and the time was tight, he left before he could visit here. This time, Sun Dahai naturally had to come over to take a look.

Although Sun Dahai lives in the courtyard every day and his father Sun Weiguo works in architecture, he is not very interested in classical architecture. After walking around Mingxuan, he did not see any reason.

However, Sun Dahai read an introduction in his previous life and knew that the wood in this yard was all selected from the golden nanmu from Sichuan Province. You should know that this was a wood exclusively for royalty in the past.

Sun Dahai walked into the corridor and touched the pillars painted with red paint with his hand. He was still thinking in his heart, what is the difference between this and ordinary wood?

At this time, a tourist was taking a photo with a camera. He went backwards to select the scene and bumped into Sun Dahai.

...

Gao Ren graduated from the University of International Business and Economics last year and his family provided him with public funding for study abroad through connections. He became a graduate student at the University of Virginia, majoring in business management.

The University of Virginia starts summer vacation at the end of May every year and has to rest until the end of August. Gao Ren goes home for the New Year during the winter vacation, and stays in the United States during the summer vacation, and travels everywhere with a camera alone.

His Tianfu Investment Company has developed very well. Although it was a bit unworthy of its Clivia project last year, he still made a lot of money by relying on the import and export quotas provided to him by his family.

Therefore, he does not have to work hard to earn money during the holidays like other government-sponsored students. Instead, like those American classmates with wealthy families, he usually finds a relaxing but low-paid job when he goes to school, and travels around after the holidays.

Gao Ren has lived in the capital since he was born, but his hometown is Suzhou, although he has never been there.

He heard from his classmates at school that there was a Suzhou garden in the Metropolitan Museum, so when the holiday came, he came with a camera and excitedly.

...

"sorry."

"sorry."

Both of them spoke almost at the same time, and they subconsciously spoke Mandarin Chinese in their native language.

Hey, he is from China!

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"Hello, are you from the mainland?" Sun Dahai asked on his own initiative.

"Yes, my name is Gao Ren, I am from the capital, and I come to study in the United States. Where are you?"

"I am also from the capital, my name is Sun Dahai. This time I am here to visit relatives. Today I have nothing to do, so I came to visit the museum with my friends." Sun Dahai replied casually.

There are only three mainland students in the University of Virginia where Gao Ren is located. The two people, one is a nerd, spend all day in the library and work hard to earn money, and they are all invisible people. Gao Ren speaks English and eats Western food every day, and has been very stifled.

Gao Ren was born into a family of officials. In the past, he always had a cold and cold look, which made his classmates and friends around him feel a sense of distantness.

Now he is alone abroad, and his cultural differences with his new classmates are very different. Although he usually talks and laughs with his classmates, he cannot truly accept their thoughts and lifestyles, so Gao Ren's feeling of loneliness becomes stronger and stronger.

This time Gao Ren chose to travel alone during the holidays because he wanted to relax, change his mindset, and at the same time he had more contact with all aspects of American society.

However, Gao Ren didn't expect to meet a small fellow villager at the Metropolitan Museum.

Unless they are scholars who specialize in research or leaders who go abroad for investigation, few Chinese people will appear here in this era.

The recommended adult entrance fee of $25 is not enforced, but if you don’t pay or pay less, you will be embarrassed to come to America. But if you really pay this money, it will not be a small amount for ordinary Chinese people.

Gao Ren carefully observed Sun Dahai and found that although he was dressed casually, the fabric was very textured, with a combination of tailoring and excellent workmanship. It looked like he could buy it in China.

Moreover, Sun Dahai looks like he is sixteen or seventeen years old. Although he is not very old, he is calm and does not feel restrained in such a magnificent and heavy museum.

He was also very polite when talking to himself, and was rigorous in his intimacy and grasped his sense of proportion well. He looked like he was not from a small family.

Another person (Hu Cheng) stood behind Sun Dahai, without saying anything, and was observing the surrounding situation. He seemed to be a follower or bodyguard.

This must be whose child this family is! I just don’t know which compound it is from.

Gao Ren thought he had touched Sun Dahai's feet, so he treated him as someone of his kind.

"Sun Dahai, you are still in school, how can you get out of this time?"

Gao Ren is also a product of the Chinese education system. He has just left the domestic campus and knows that this time is the time for domestic schools to prepare for the final exams.

"Oh, I was admitted and didn't have to take the exam, so I came out."

"I'm going to be admitted, which university is it?" Gao Ren became interested.

Sun Dahai scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "It's Yingcai Middle School, this newly established middle school."

Oh, it turns out it was the junior high school entrance exam from junior high school to high school!

Like most people who are not familiar with, Gao Ren was frightened by Sun Dahai's appearance and manners, thinking that he was already fifteen or sixteen years old.

This misunderstanding is exactly what Sun Dahaisuo hopes for. He will not explain it, but will deliberately mislead others to think like this. Otherwise, at his age, who would be willing to communicate with a little kid?

"Why are you so interested in Mingxuan here? How good is it to go to Suzhou Netmaster Garden to see the real scene after returning to China? What is the meaning of this copycat version?" Sun Dahai asked in confusion.
