An unforgettable hug
There is a precious photo on my bookshelf, it is not my art photo nor my travel photo, but an ordinary souvenir photo, it is a picture of a kind foreign old man hugging me, whenever I see this photo, the scene of that time comes to my mind.
There is a precious photo on my bookshelf, it is not my art photo nor my travel photo, but an ordinary souvenir photo, it is a picture of a kind foreign old man hugging me, whenever I see this photo, the scene of that time comes to my mind.
It was a winter afternoon, the sun was warm, and the students were quietly studying in class. Suddenly Principal Wang walked into the class and looked around as if looking for someone and then rested his eyes on me. "Wang Ruo Tong, come with me for a moment." I stood up with a bewildered and apprehensive face and followed Principal Wang towards her office. In my heart, I muttered, "School Wang is looking for me, did I do something wrong?!
Entering Wang's office, Wang said with a mysterious and serious expression: "Ruo Tong, you have to accept a difficult and important task, next week the Nobel Prize winner Erwinel will come to visit our school, you will be the student representative to receive the Nobel Prize winner. Time is very tight, only three days to prepare, you have to memorize the lines." My eyes were wide open, my mouth was wide open, and my cheeks were about to fall off. This, is this real? I couldn't believe my ears. This is a pie in the sky, I am simply too lucky. But I was a bit apprehensive, the task was a bit difficult, but then I thought, this opportunity is too rare, I must complete this task.
But it was easier said than done. Three days, three days to memorize two pages of English explanations, how easy it is! There were words that I had never even seen before. But when I thought about the people I dreamed of meeting, it wasn't even difficult, and I had to practice it a dozen times a day.
Soon it was the day when the Nobel Prize winner was coming to school. Until that morning, on the way to school I was still struggling to recite, the more I memorized the more nervous, the more nervous the more mistakes, I was so anxious that tears were coming out of my eyes. Mom encouraged me: "Ruo Tong, don't be afraid, you just need to play out your level! "
At nine o'clock in the morning, teachers and students were lined up neatly in front of the school gate, waiting and watching quietly. At that moment, someone in the crowd said, "Here he is! "I stood on tiptoe and looked forward to seeing an old man approaching. He was a village of a meter or so, with gray hair and somewhat thinning hair. He came over with a smile: "Hello, everyone." That, amiable look, and soft tone, immediately brought us closer.
I rushed forward, greeted him, and introduced our beautiful campus and our science and technology activities to him in fluent English, and the tension I felt a second ago turned into smoke. Time flew by and the event was soon to be over, and we were sad to see this kind old man go. At that moment, this kind old from slowly walked towards me, bent down, slowly gave me a big hug, and said in my ear: "You are great! "My heart was beating out of my chest, I really couldn't believe it, was it true? The Nobel Laureate hugged me. I pinched my arm and well, it was real!
It was my hug with the Nobel Laureate, my closest contact with a scientist, and the experience was one I will never forget. He planted a seed of science in my young mind, and he increased my thirst for scientific knowledge.
