Chapter 430: Open Day

Mu Yang was resting today. In the dormitory, the inside phone on his desk rang. Mu Yang picked it up and answered it. It was Liu Ru from the office called.

"Muyang, Mr. Cui asked everyone to gather in the conference room and arrange some specific work for the 'open day'."

Mr. Cui, who is in the mouth of Sister Liu, is Director Cui Mingxue, Consul General of the Houston Consulate General.

"Okay, Sister Liu, I'll go there right away."

Mu Yang put down the Arabic text in his hand, put on his clothes and prepared to go to the conference room.

Recently, Mu Yang has been learning Arabic in his spare time. The system has strengthened Mu Yang's mental power and made it easier for him to learn. He can basically remember one book by reading it three or four times. After more than three months of study, Mu Yang has mastered more than 3,000 words and can be understood by some simple newspapers and books.

Although Mu Yang's learning level is already considered a success compared to others, it is still not enough. Listening, speaking, reading and writing, Mu Yang can at most easily read, and others are still lacking. Mu Yang now hopes that the system can give him a language reward.

Arabic is mainly popular in the Middle East and North Africa. It is now the official language of 22 Arab countries and 4 international organizations. Just look?

The number of Arabic as its native speaker exceeds 200 million, and the total number of users worldwide exceeds 400 million. Although Arabic is listed as a minor language in China, it is widely used in the world.

Muyang now masters languages, Japanese, English, German, French, Indian, Malay, and the extension of these languages ​​is enough for Muyang to use in most areas. However, it is still very necessary to learn Arabic. After all, the Arabic region is the most lively area on the earth, and it may not be possible that it will be sent there one day, and it will be a bit late to learn it.

However, learning is endless, and the world's language is very complex. Some experts estimate that the languages ​​around the world can reach 500 to 700. German linguists have found 5651 languages ​​in statistics in 1979.

There are more than 600 million people in the world, more than 20 countries and regions, and more than 250 ethnic groups. Therefore, it is not surprising that more than thousands of languages ​​have appeared.

The world's best-selling Bible is translated into 2197 languages, which shows the complexity of the world's language.

To learn every language in the world, it can only be a delusion.

The Consulate General has been a little busy these days. Because the Consulate General has an "open day" event, it will receive a group of American students to visit the Consulate General. Although the main work is the responsibility of the office and the Education Department, it is the first time that such an event is held and the director attaches great importance to it, so everyone is involved.

Mu Yang came to the conference room and greeted his colleagues, and then went beside Qian Chang. Before Director Cui came, Mu Yang asked Qian Chang in a low voice: "Brother Qian. How did you handle that matter yesterday?"

"It's just the beginning that I communicated with the local Overseas Chinese Association and prepared to ask the victim to file a lawsuit against the medical institution in his personal name. Then our embassy and the Overseas Chinese Association expressed concern to the local government and put pressure on the local government indirectly." Qian Chang said.

"This is the only way to do medical accidents." Mu Yang nodded and said.

Mu Yang has been working for three months. He has been learning quickly and systematically learned local laws, folk customs and some styles of conduct in the United States. Now he can handle consular rescue cases independently.

After all, the staff is limited, and every diplomat must have the ability to handle things independently. There are naturally employees in doing odd jobs, but the real decisions still require diplomats to handle them.

Don’t underestimate Mu Yang, the lowest-level diplomat. The escort is also a serious diplomat. Those with diplomatic rights can represent the consulate, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the country after they go out.

Consul General Cui Mingxue and three deputy consuls came over. Everyone was not talking. President Cui is usually very modest. He said: "According to the requirements of the ministry, in order to make countries around the world understand China better and understand Chinese language, the Consulates General of various places organized an "open day" event. This is the first time this year. We invited students from Brano Middle School in Houston. Some people probably participated in this event this time."

"Our activities will be divided into several parts to explain Chinese culture, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and some Chinese history, Qin Shihuang, Confucius, Genghis Khan and others."

"See the open area of ​​the Consulate General to learn about the situation of the Consulate General."

"Show some Chinese cultural objects, such as paintings, facials, Sun Wukong, etc., so that children can experience Chinese scenery."

"The performance is arranged, mainly opera, and the specific repertoire has not been determined yet, and there is Chinese musical instrument performance."

“Then arrange a lunch and invite the children to have an authentic Chinese meal.”

"This is the general situation. It takes about two and a half hours to send the children after lunch."

Speaking of this, Consul General Cui's expression became more serious. "In fact, the open day activities are not original to our China. Other countries have had this event very early. Our country used to hold some cocktail parties, Spring Festival parties and other activities, and invited local politicians and some Chinese and overseas Chinese to participate."

"But it is essentially different from this 'open day' event. The previous activities were to build relationships. The main purpose of this event was to promote, promote China, promote Chinese culture, and give American children a positive understanding of China."

"Don't think that there are fewer people and a drop in the bucket. What we need to do is to influence every child who comes to visit and let them have a positive understanding of China, rather than relying on one-sided information and guesses to become an inherent understanding of China."

"There are not many people this time, and this is the result of communication with the local government several times. After all, all countries attach great importance to cultural exports. Although they cannot be said to be strictly guarding them, they will definitely not open the door to convenience for us."

"So we have to seize every opportunity, which is also what the embassy and the ministry demanded us. Okay, let's discuss the specific details now."

The meeting lasted for more than an hour, and after the task was arranged, Mu Yang and Qian Chang were responsible for contacting opera performers. Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera were both possible, and there were not many people, only about 1 to 2 people were needed.

Mu Yang and Qian Chang came to the Houston Chinese Association and contacted a Chinese opera performance group. But when Mu Yang saw that there were only six people, all of them were old people, and they also scored different types of operas. There were Peking Opera actors, but they performed with vague faces.

The old man was full of energy. With a "wow" sound, Mu Yang was shocked very much. (To be continued.)
