A Whole Bunch of Fine Examples

When Li Ye, Wen Leyu, and Fu Yiruo arrived at the University of California, they unexpectedly found over a hundred international students there. More people were still arriving in twos and threes, happily joining the crowd.

So he asked Zhen Rongrong, "There are actually this many international students from the mainland at UC?"

Zhen Rongrong pressed her lips together and said, "Some came rushing over from other schools. Others have already graduated but haven't returned home yet."

.

Before going abroad, Zhen Rongrong had once flown into a rage when Li Ye asked whether she would return, believing that he was questioning the character of an old Party Member like her.

But after arriving in America, she deeply understood why Li Ye had doubted her.

Leaving aside the material gap of skyscrapers, modern cities, and the like, just the many "pioneers" stranded in America before them had already set one shining example after another of "people climbing to higher ground" for later arrivals like Zhen Rongrong.

It was like the harsh environment during World War II. If one out of a hundred people became an informant, then he was a traitor. But if twenty out of a hundred became informants—

How high a moral bottom line could the other eighty possibly still have?

Whether to feast on fine food and beautiful girls, or keep one red heart while gnawing bark, was a question that tested human nature—perhaps even more effectively than chili water.

Take Zhen Rongrong's current situation. The thought, If everyone else refuses to return home, wouldn't I be an idiot if I went back? was definitely not an isolated case.

"Alright, stop thinking about all that nonsense. Hurry up and help unload the stuff, or we won't even make it in time for New Year's Eve dinner."
