Chapter 548 True Heroism(3/3)
After Lin Chaoyang bowed, he smiled and waved to everyone. Every move he made was met with warm applause and cheers from the audience, as if he was an idol who has captivated all living beings.
Finally, after a few minutes passed, the students' enthusiasm slowly ran out and the atmosphere gradually became quiet.
Next came the question time. The successful speech made the students' enthusiasm to raise their hands and ask questions uncontrollable, giving Lin Chaoyang no chance to breathe.
Originally there was only half an hour of question and answer time, but it was extended to an hour, and the students were still unsatisfied.
"Last question——·Please ask the female student wearing a blue top over there.""
The blond girl in a blue top stood up, feeling a little excited, and asked with a trembling voice: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, your speech is inspiring.
Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, I am Kim Claire, a sophomore majoring in art from Columbia University.
I have no questions, just a request."
"I hope your request is within my ability."
Lin Chaoyang smiled and stretched out his hand to signal her to continue.
Kim Clare said: "The story you just told is very touching and has a thrilling vitality.
It’s the same feeling I had when I read “The Death of Van Gogh”. If possible, could you please write this story into a novel?”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a burst of applause, which obviously touched the hearts of many students.
The story of "Cowboy Ron" was the core of Lin Chaoyang's speech today. It was full of touching power and moved everyone present.
After the applause, Lin Chaoyang said: "This is indeed a very interesting story. Of course I hope to write it out, but it is not something I can have the final say on. You don't think I made this story up, right?"
There was a burst of laughter at the scene.
What Lin Chaoyang tells is a true story, even if the person involved is still alive, so of course he has to ask for his permission.
But his answer was undoubtedly positive, which satisfied all the students present and once again gave Lin Chaoyang the warmest applause.
In today's speech, Lin Chaoyang deeply impressed Columbia University students with his outstanding personality and charm, and gained many fans.
After the speech, these students surrounded him with an enthusiasm far greater than that day at the University of Oklahoma.
Lin Chaoyang signed the books brought by the students while communicating with them.
He also had many faces with yellow skin and black hair in the crowd. These students were more excited than the foreigners when they saw Lin Chaoyang.
This is understandable. It is not easy for these Chinese students to integrate into the mainstream of American society. Almost everyone has experienced the humiliation of leaving their hometown and living under someone else's roof.
Lin Chaoyang is a writer from the motherland. He is so enthusiastically sought after by foreigners. The biggest feeling they feel now is that they are encouraged, proud, and honored.
