Lanai does not have direct flights, and you need to take an inter-island flight at Honolulu International Airport on Oahu, or take a boat from Maui, and Zhang Ran and others chose to fly.

After more than 30 minutes of flight, the plane landed at Lanai Airport.

Getting off the plane, Zhang Ran turned around and looked and found that the airport was very small, like a train station.

However, Zhang Jingchu was awakened in full eyes. From Los Angeles, where the weather has been gloomy recently, to the sunny Hawaii, it was like entering another world, and her whole mood suddenly became clear. Zhang Jingchu closed her eyes, opened her arms, and said with pleasure: "The weather is so good, the sun is so good!"

Zhang Ran also smiled: "At this time, you should recite a poem, which is beneficial to the country's life and death! Ah, no! You read it wrongly, it should be, Ah, Hawaii, Hawaii, you are really Hawaii!"

Zhang Jingchu couldn't help but say, "What is your name as poetry?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man came up and greeted him respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Zhang! I am Joseph, the tour guide of the Four Seasons Resort. Welcome you to Lanai Island. Please go here!"

When Zhang Ran and the others heard that Joseph was the tour guide, they followed him out of the airport and boarded the bus waiting outside the airport.

After the car started, Joseph enthusiastically introduced the attractions and history of Lanai Island to Zhang Ran and others.

Lanai was uninhabited before the 16th century and was a mysterious place. Legend has it that this was originally the garden of the gods, but due to disputes between the priests, the garden of the gods turned into scorched earth. In 1922, James Dole bought Lanai and began to plant tropical fruits. Among them, the most pineapple was the most, and the area of ​​the pineapple garden reached 19,000 acres in its heyday. Lanai also became the most important pineapple planting and exporting place in the world. For most of the 20th century, Lanai was called "pineapple island".

However, after 1980, Lanai's pineapple farm failed in competition with the cheap laborers of pineapple farms in other countries around the world, and Dole began to move pineapple cultivation to cheaper Southeast Asia. In 1985, billionaire David Murdoch bought Lanai from Dole, a poor company, and became the owner of the new island for tourism development.

After introducing the history of Lanai, Joseph vividly talked about the wedding that made Lanai famous all the world: "Bill took out all the cars on the island, helicopters and 250 rooms in the Four Seasons Resort. The whole wedding cost one million US dollars. The wedding ceremony was on the 12th hole of the Four Seasons Resort Golf Course. At that time, Bill wore a pair of black wide-leg pants and a white evening jacket. The Melinda wedding dress cost more than $10,000, designed by Victoria Glenn of Seattle. There were at least six billionaires on the wedding list. In order to highlight the privacy, the surrounding area of ​​the wedding banquet was surrounded by cordons made of gold, and Melinda was surprised to find that a jewelry store on the island was only open to her for the whole morning."

Zhang Jingchu went to Lanai Island this time and was most concerned about whether the island was suitable for a wedding location. Now when she heard Joseph talk about Bill Gates' wedding, she couldn't help asking: "Are there many people going to the island to get married?"

Joseph nodded repeatedly: "Many, and every year there are many people going to the island to get married. Khorop Beach, Polyhuya Beach, resorts, etc. There are so many places suitable for getting married. After Bill got married on Lanai, he gave Murdoch a new inspiration, which is to prepare for a billionaire wedding, which is a hot spot in the island's economy."

Zhang Ran was looking at the view outside the window. He found that many houses on the roadside had signs hanging on them, with various protest words saying "Lanai No windmills", "Murdoch is a hateful businessman". Zhang Ran was a little curious and pointed to the slogans and asked, "What's the matter with these slogans?"

Joseph looked a little embarrassed, but he still explained: "After taking over Lanai Island, Murdoch shifted the focus of economic development to tourism. At the beginning, Murdoch showed extraordinary vision and did a good job of management. However, the economic crisis in 2008 caused him to lose a lot of money. As a result, the island's population declined, the store collapsed, the community maintenance plummeted, and the island's economy almost collapsed. Murdoch planned to build a wind farm on Lanai Island and sell the electricity to Oahu, the main island of Hawaii, to generate income for Lanai Island. However, this move was strongly opposed by the residents of the island, and everyone posted various slogans to protest."

Zhang Ran suddenly remembered that Lanai Island was bought by the Oracle Ceo Larry Ellison at a high price in the last life. It should have been in the past two years. It seemed that it had spent $5.6 billion. It should be that David Murdoch could not continue to operate it, so he sold it. He couldn't help but ask: "What should Murdoch plan to do?"

Joseph sighed slightly and said helplessly: "I heard that Mr. Murdoch lost interest in Lanai after the economic recovery plan was blocked and planned to sell it. I don't know if it is true."

Zhang Ran thought to himself, it is true, the buyer is Larry Ellison of Oracle.

Not long after, Zhang Ran and the others successfully settled in the Four Seasons Resort in Khorop Bay. The rooms were placed along the scattered mountains in different locations facing the sea. The entire wall was filled with floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors. When Zhang Jingchu opened the closet and was about to hang clothes, she found a small bag of local dried flowers tied on the hanger, exuding a faint fragrance. No wonder there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the room.

After hanging up his clothes, Zhang Jingchu came to the glass window, stretched out, looked at the garden downstairs, and then looked at the blue sea in the distance. She felt warm in her heart and said comfortably: "The scenery here is really beautiful, with blue sea and blue sky, and it feels like the world is very wide. If you don't pull the curtains at night, you should be able to see large tracts of stars!"

Zhang Ran walked behind Zhang Jingchu, hugged her waist, and whispered in her ear: "Yes, if you like to see the stars, we will go to the beach to see the stars that night!"

Zhang Jingchu turned her head and smiled and said, "Okay, but let's go to the beach now!"

Zhang Ran knew that she wanted to see if the beach was suitable for a wedding location, and chuckled: "I'm yours long ago, so I can't escape. You're so anxious!"

"Let's do it!" Zhang Jingchu gave Zhang Ran a blank look and said seriously, "You can make arrangements early by setting up the location!"

Seeing her say this, Zhang Ran said, "Okay, let's go and have a look!"

Because he was going to the beach to have a Hawaiian flavor, Zhang Ran changed into a plaid short-sleeved shirt, paired with big shorts, and a pair of flip-flops on his feet; Zhang Jingchu changed into a one-piece swimsuit and put on a bohemian dress outside.

After coming out of the room, Zhang Ran and his friends knocked on the door of their assistant, called them, and went to the hotel shop together. Zhang Ran bought a straw hat for everyone, and then walked towards Khlop Beach together. After walking for about five minutes, they arrived at Khlop Beach.

It is off-season now, and Lanai Island itself is a private island, with relatively few tourists, so the entire beach is also extremely empty, with only a few kittens and a few windsurfing enthusiasts surfing in the sea.

Zhang Ran said to his assistants and asked them to play by themselves, while he and Zhang Jingchu took off their shoes and took them in their hands, and began to stroll on the beach, enjoying the whirlwind of the sea breeze.

Zhang Jingchu's long skirt is just at her ankle. The corner of the skirt dances in the sea breeze, making it look very lively. From a distance, it looks like a bohemian girl dancing on the beach.

The sea water on this beach is very clear, and it is cool when it passes through your feet, like a gentle touch of a lover, which is particularly comfortable; the sand is also thin and soft, and walking on the beach with barefoot feet, the feeling is very wonderful, like stepping on a white street stall, in a soft place, fine sand overflows from the fingers, it feels itchy.

Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu walked hand in hand, and neither of them spoke to each other. They just walked quietly, walking on the quiet beach, allowing the clear sea to slap their legs from time to time, and behind them were two lines of shallow footprints.

After they walked past, the waves rolled ashore and the footprints gradually faded until they finally disappeared completely.

Walking on the quiet beach, enjoying the sunshine and enjoying the blowing of the sea breeze, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu felt peaceful inside, and their whole mood was completely relaxed.

After strolling for a while, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu came to a sun umbrella with two beach chairs, and sat on the chair and spoke softly. Khurop Beach is beautiful, but in Zhang Jingchu's opinion, it was not as good as she imagined. She felt that the beach should be whiter and the sea water should be bluer. The place where she hoped to get married was a particularly dreamy place.

When Zhang Ran heard Zhang Jingchu say this, he said: "Hawaii lacks nothing but beaches, and you will definitely find the right one."

At this moment, Zhang Jingchu seemed to have discovered something, and nodded at Zhang Ran and signaled behind him.

Zhang Ran turned his head and saw a young girl sitting on the sun lounger next to her, about 20 years old. The girl was wearing a red bikini and a square scarf around her waist. Her long black hair looked a little messy in the sea breeze, and her bright red lips were particularly attractive in the sun. The girl's eyes were big. At this moment, she was looking at herself with an excited and entangled look, as if she wanted to say hello, but she was a little hesitant.

When Zhang Ran saw the girl looking at her, he knew that she had been recognized. He smiled at the girl and said gently: "Hello!"

When the girl saw Zhang Ran greeting her, she looked surprised and hurriedly replied in Chinese: "Hello!"

Zhang Ran was stunned. The girl spoke Chinese well and her words were quite standard, so she asked in Chinese: "You can speak Chinese?"

The girl saw Zhang Ran’s face full of shock and chuckled: “Yes, my father is from the Demon City, and my mother is from the American. I have lived in Peking and the Demon City. Almost two years, oh, it was actually a year and a half, and I only returned to the United States at the beginning of this year.”

Only then did Zhang Ran realize that the girl is mixed-race, but the girl looks more Westernized and dark. If she didn't say it herself, Zhang Ran thought she was a Latino! Zhang Ran's impression of ABC was actually not very good. Most of the ABCs he met in the past few years when he first arrived in the United States were very strange. It is rare to see a few who have a good impression of China and a few who have a good impression of mainlanders. These people are excluded by mainstream society in the United States, and are often ashamed of their own bloodlines and want to peel off their yellow skins. In order to gain the recognition of white people, they especially like to say bad things about China and want to gain the recognition of the white men by belittling China and belittle their race.

In fact, this kind of person is the most ridiculous. If you look down on your own race, who will really look down on you!

However, with the development of China's economy in recent years, Chinese people who immigrate overseas are more confident in their culture. Most of them insist on speaking Chinese to their children at home. When the summer vacation comes, a large number of parents try every means to send their children back to China to receive the influence of Chinese culture.

The girl in front of you is obviously not the kind of abc that you say he is Chinese, and it feels like he has suffered a lot of insults. This made Zhang Ran have a good impression of the girl, and he smiled and said, "I'll know, I'm Zhang Ran, this is my wife Zhang Jingchu!"

When Zhang Jingchu heard that the girl was Chinese, she smiled and said, "Hello!"
