Chapter 1： Students expelled from Nanda (1/2)
”Relax, I'm doing very well. Please, mom, don't you know, the weather in Los Angeles is similar to San Francisco, how can it be cold for me?” Wang Yang held the microphone, leaning on the phone booth and looking at the view of the campus outside While pretending to laugh with excitement: ”I saw Robert Zemigis a few days ago. Yes! It is the director of” Forrest Gump ”, he is also an alumnus of the University of South America, and was invited by our principal to come back to lecture . Awesome, I chatted with him for a long time that day, oh, he is very easygoing and a very good person ... ”
It's April, the weather in Los Angeles is warm and pleasant, gradually bidding farewell to the cold winter rain and moving towards the hot summer. The lawns of the School of Film and Television of the University of South Carolina are green. Young students are lying on the green grass, reading books, chatting, and playing with DV cameras.
”Well, I'll go to a crew to help later ... Hey, I'll come as soon as I say, my classmates call me to go, then hang up, bye!”
As soon as he put down the microphone, Wang Yang exhaled for a long time, and his face immediately turned from euphoria to decadence. Looking at the students on the lawn, he couldn't help but scratched his hair and scolded in disappointment: ”Fuck ! ”
He tightened his trench coat, picked up a paper suitcase filled with debris on the ground, and walked out of the school step by step, looking at the beautiful scenery around him from time to time. Dream where to sail, but now, everything is ruined.
Wang Yang is a Chinese. He has immigrated to the United States since his grandfather's generation. His grandfather operated a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown of San Francisco, and then his father took over. The restaurant has been open until today. However, after the efforts of two generations, this ”family business” not only did not grow bigger, but became more and more ruined. I usually did some business of acquaintances in the neighborhood, and it has been on the verge of closing down for many years.
Although Wang Yang grew up in a restaurant, he has no interest in cooking, and he loves movies very much. At the age of 9, after watching ”Paradise Cinema”, he was even more determined to be a director! Well, at that time he thought that the film projector like the old man Efido was the director.
Anyway, since then, he has been moving towards this goal, and he did it. At the age of 18, he entered the University of Film and Television School of South Carolina to study film and television production. Everything is going in a good direction. If that does not happen if.
That happened a week ago, and then he was expelled. In the second semester of freshman, he was expelled.
Thinking about the causes and consequences, Wang Yang sighed helplessly, and his head was so painful that he had finished his bachelor's degree in Nanca University. He could continue to study for a master's degree, or he could find some assistant director's work, accumulate experience and wait for the opportunity to become a director. But as he was expelled from school, the director's dream became farther and farther away from him.
”Hey, isn't that our Chinese guy (Chink)? Where did this go?” A few young men came over the lawn, four men and two women, except one man was black, the others were white. The blond white man with a big smile on his face, with a monkey dancing in his hands, made a strange noise: ”Ping-pang, Ping-pang? Ching-chong, Ching-chong?”
With his strange noise, several other men and women laughed, ridiculed and despised, and looked at Wang Yang disdainfully.
Although Wang Yang is an American, he did n’t know how many times he heard these words since he was young. He likes his yellow skin and black eyes. He likes Chinese characters, likes Chinese food, likes Chinese culture; he has never discriminated against others. He hated racial discrimination, but the reason he was expelled was precisely racial discrimination.
It was a case of injustice. On that day, he encountered a situation like the present. He was insulted and provoked by a black classmate. Even his mother scolded him. It was unbearable. He could n’t control his emotions and beat him with anger.
The black classmate was Terence Ben, and he looked like a tiger, but Wang Yang had learned octagonal boxing from a teacher in Chinatown since childhood. Although he was not good at martial arts, Terence, who only had brute force, did not mind it. While playing Terence, Wang Yang scolded: ”Is this what you want? Fuck!”
It was a coincidence that the phrase ”Fuck-you!” Happened to be heard by a teacher who heard the wind, and that teacher was a black man, Gary Martin.
After the incident, Terence-Ben villain sued and turned the matter upside down, saying that it was Wang Yang who insulted him and then punched him again. Although Wang Yang desperately explained, there were no others on the lawn at that time, no one could testify to him; and Terence-Ben had a black teacher Gary Martin to call him, so the school believed in Terence-Ben, Wang Yang was Expelled from school.
It is ridiculous that he is now surrounded by ”racism”, but no one is just for him.
”Bruce-Lee, what do you want, bananas? Oh, let's eat!” The blonde white man named Matthew smiled a few times and smiled: ”Come on, I know Your favorite!”
The other five young people laughed. They all knew about Wang Yang ’s expulsion, so he came to mock him. It's not that Wang Yang provokes them, it's just that the identity of Asians has become the object of fun for these boring people.
You say ”Nigger” to a black man. When you go to the court, it will definitely be racial discrimination; but if you say ”Chink” or ”Chinaman” to a Chinese, you will rarely be said to be racial discrimination. This is the other side of this highly democratic country that promotes equality.
