Zhu Wencong invited Wei Zanting and Gu Lianping to the coffee shop to talk things over. Seeing fellow countrymen in a foreign country really brought tears to the eyes.

Zhu Wencong has always told himself in his heart that he is not fighting alone, and that more compatriots will fight side by side with him in the future.

It's a pity that I have never seen anyone of the same age. They are all a group of old men who are half dead, and their ideas cannot keep up with the times.

This resulted in Zhu Wencong having to reuse white elites to make decisions for himself, which will become the biggest hidden danger in the future.

Su Yanqing smiled happily. She could see more compatriots, and even a foreign country was her homeland.

"Why did your elders arrange for you to study in the United States?" Zhu Wenchong was very curious about this.

"My father studied mechanics and studied at Yale University with Mr. Rong Hong. After graduation, Mr. Rong Hong returned to China and my father settled in Boston.

Due to family business matters, my father had to rush back and lived in Hong Kong for a long time.

My father hoped that I would succeed in my studies at California College and then take charge of some of the family's businesses in San Francisco.

Speaking of which, I have a certain connection with you, sir, and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce will recruit a large number of cotton processing manufacturers..." Wei Zanting said in detail.

Zhu Wencong took a deep breath. With this statement, his father revealed his strong family background. International students are really not ordinary people!

I never expected that overseas Chinese would go so far. I thought they would only fight among themselves and never get out of their comfort zone.

The people are so outstanding, but it’s a pity that the official government is just a bunch of excuses, and it’s really hard to help.

The Japanese country on the other side has been very successful. As long as those overseas students come back, they will definitely reach high positions!

"Rong Hong? Yale University?" Su Yanqing was stunned for a moment. She had never heard of it.

"Master Rong Hong is a man with great ambitions. He wants to use his knowledge to transform the Qing Dynasty." Wei Zanting admired.

"But I prefer Mr. Huang Kuan! He not only graduated from Mengsong School with Mr. Rong Hong, but also went to England to study medicine.

He was the first doctor of medicine from the University of Edinburgh in the Qing Dynasty. I communicated with him when I was in Xiangjiang!" Gu Lianping has a star-chasing eye.

Zhu Wencong quickly sorted out his memory, and quickly found the information of these two big guys in the depths of his mind.

Rong Hong, Huang Kuan, and Huang Sheng arrived in New York on April 12, 1847, and studied at Monson Preparatory School in Massachusetts.

After graduating from the preparatory school in 1850, he was admitted to Yale College. In 1852, Rong Hong became a naturalized American and graduated from Yale University with honors in 1854.

Rong Hong returned to China after graduation. He was full of passion and fighting spirit and wanted to rebuild the Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, the official did not recognize the turtles.

Disappointed, Rong Hong pinned his hopes on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. He believed that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement would definitely recreate the Qing Dynasty.

Hong Rengan, the spokesman for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, fully accepted Rong Hong's seven suggestions. The result was that the brothers were busy enjoying heaven and earth, and the reform matters were slowed down!

If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom really listened to the advice and established a modern army, military system, efficient government offices, Western education system, etc., then there would be no way for the Qing Dynasty to survive.

The Western powers didn't even have to think twice, they just kicked away the dear Qing Dynasty and gave the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom a bear hug.

It can only be said that under the excellent matching mechanism, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Qing Dynasty were like a pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes, and did not seize the opportunity to enter a new era.

Disappointed again, Rong Hong sought refuge with Zeng Guofan, and then relied on this towering tree to reveal Rong Hong's abilities.

Huang Kuan went to England to study medicine at the University of Edinburgh in 1850, and was awarded a doctorate in medicine in August 1855.

After two years of internship in the hospital until he obtained his doctorate in 1857, Huang Kuan immediately returned to Xiangjiang and has been working in the local hospital.

"He plans to follow Mr. Huang Kuan's example and go to England after graduation to study for a doctorate in medicine from the University of Edinburgh." Wei Zanting pointed at Gu Lianping.

Su Yanqing had an expression of admiration on her face. It was the first time she discovered that overseas Chinese people have such strong learning ability, which is no weaker than that of Confucian scholars.

Gu Lianping scratched his head, he was not actually that strong, he just had a higher innate advantage than others.

"The family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine. It was a family of imperial doctors in the Ming Dynasty. In the early Qing Dynasty, the family fell into decline and moved from the north to the south.

Alas! I finally found my home in Xiangshan. Thanks to the protection of foreigners, my family began to switch from traditional Chinese medicine to Western medicine.

When I was eleven or twelve years old, I was fortunate enough to help a white couple. With their support and encouragement, I embarked on the path of Western learning.

With my eldest brother and the others supporting my family, I can safely follow my godfather and godmother to the United States and England." Gu Lianping said about his life experience.

"Are they adventurers?" Zhu Wencong guessed. Adventurers are a popular industry these days and they travel all over the world.

Gu Lianping nodded. They are a couple who love to explore unknown geography. They have set foot in all the glaciers, deserts, and rainforests.

It was precisely because of their adventurous spirit that Gu Lianping made up his mind to leave his homeland and go to study in the West.

"Then you are going to England?" Zhu Wencong felt pity.

"Yes! My godfather and godmother are from England. Because they are old, they plan to return to England to retire.

I want to help them recuperate while studying there. After all, their health was very bad when they were young.

Half a lifetime of sailing and wandering, coupled with the miasma of the wilderness, made their bodies extremely weak.

Western medicine cannot cure their diseases, only Chinese medicine can slowly restore the body." Gu Lianping was very anxious.

Zhu Wencong had a look of helplessness on his face and wanted very much to persuade him to stay, but unfortunately Dongfang's filial piety was irresistible.

That couple had obviously helped Gu Lianping's family. Every drop of kindness is repaid by a spring. This is the spirit that has always been passed down in the East.

Looking at Gu Lianping's family background, only foreigners in the world dare to protect it, and everyone else is afraid of being implicated.

As for why their family is being hunted all the time, it is probably because they are determined to tolerate both masters and would rather die than surrender.

"It's okay! I will go to England to find you in the future! Remember to leave me an address!" Zhu Wencong patted Gu Lianping on the shoulder.

Gu Lianping glanced at Zhu Wencong and thought he would cheer him up, but he didn't expect that he would go to England.

It is extremely difficult for Easterners to take root in the United States. England is not only a Western country, but also the center of the world!

"By the way! Do you know any other international students?" Zhu Wenchong looked left and right.

"I know one or two! But they are in universities on the east coast!

It seems that there are only two of us here on the West Coast. After all, the university conditions in the United States are not very good.

If I had the power to choose, I would like to study in England, the most powerful country with the best education.

In addition, I followed the missionaries from England since I was a child. He taught me many things and opened my eyes to the world." Wezanting looked grateful.

"Missionary?" Zhu Wencong remembered that the missionaries of this period were really great, traveling thousands of miles to the East to spread advanced knowledge.

"Mr. Zhu, do you believe in the Lord?" Wei Zanting suddenly asked.
