Jinling University attaches great importance to this event. Several long banners were hung at the door with the names of all the participating authors written on them. Many people were also arranged to greet them at the door, including President Qu Jinyue.

.

Yu Dong and others arrived first, and Qu Jinyue led a group of teachers and students to welcome them very enthusiastically.

"Yu Dong, Yu Hua, Bi Feiyu... welcome you all to our Jinling University."

Because of the relationship between Yu Dong and Cheng Liye, as well as Wu Changxin's knowledge of life, Jinling University and Jin Yi now have quite frequent contacts.

Yu Dong shook hands with Qu Jinyue and said with a smile: "Principal Qu is too polite. The protagonists this time are still Clezio and his friends. We are all in Jinling, so there is no need to be so grand with us."

Qu Jinyue laughed, waved her hand and said: "Cleczio and the others are guests from afar, so we should pay more attention to them. And you are all the leading literary figures in the country, so you should pay more attention to us."

Although Yu Dong, Yu Hua, Bi Feiyu, and Mo Yan were not thin-skinned, Qu Jinyue's words still made them a little embarrassed to praise them.

A few people said a few polite words and then blended into the group. Clezio and the others would be arriving soon.

About five or six minutes later, the car carrying Clezio and Alice Munro stopped at the gate of Jinling University.

After picking up Clezio and Monro, everyone walked slowly towards the school. The fog had dispersed a lot at this time, but it was still hazy. The sun in the sky was covered with a layer of white gauze, and it looked listless.

Jin Yue had no intention of taking them outside to chat.

Everyone went to the lounge to sit for a while, and then started rushing to the school auditorium at 9:50.

The auditorium of Jinling University has a long history and was completed and used in the early Republic of China.

The auditorium is located to the south of the West Building, not far from the administrative building where they rest.

As soon as everyone walked to the door of the auditorium, Clezio was attracted by the auditorium in front of him. He looked at the door of the auditorium with a little envy, "Is this the auditorium of your school?"

Shen Changhe, chairman of the literature department, smiled and said: "Yes, Mr. Clezio, do you have any questions?"

Clezio shook his head, "No, I just like this kind of building very much. It looks like a temple."

"Your feeling is correct. The exterior of the auditorium is modeled on the style of a traditional temple. The two floors above ground are all made of brick and wood structures." Shen Changhe pointed to the top of the auditorium and introduced: "The main house is on the top of a Chinese-style Daxie mountain.

It is surrounded by six hard-mounted penthouses."

Clezio nodded: "I am very happy to be able to participate in an event in such a building today. In fact, before coming to Jinling, I had countless suspicions about Jinling. And the auditorium in front of me exactly fits my expectations.

guess."

He turned to look at Yu Dong and Yu Hua, "YU and the others should know me and know that I prefer this type of architecture. I have always believed that civilization should have diversity, and traditional things can often be more diverse. Unfortunately, as time goes by, buildings all over the world look more and more alike.”

In fact, Shen Changhe and the others all know what Clézio likes. After all, the School of Liberal Arts at Jinling University has a group that specializes in studying Clézio, and Clézio has expressed this view in his works more than once. .

"Then you should like Yu Dong's house very much." Shen Changhe said with a smile.

Clezio looked at Yu Dong with some surprise: "Why do you say that?"

Yu Dong smiled and explained: "The style of my house is relatively traditional. After I finish here, I will take you to see it."

"I am very excited."

Alice Munro said from the side: "Me too."

Yu Dong smiled, pointed at the door and said, "Let's go in first."

The interior of the auditorium is very different from the exterior, and has a bit of a Western feel. This is not surprising at all. After all, this auditorium was originally donated by an American foundation.

The auditorium can accommodate thousands of people, and when Yu Dong and others entered, it was almost full.

Yu Dong glanced at the audience and saw Gu Qian first, and then Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou wore a hat and kept a low profile. The main reason was that Yu Dong knew he was coming, so he still recognized him through the hat.

As soon as they appeared in the auditorium, applause broke out, but the students were quite restrained and did not do any other actions except applauding.
Chapter completed!
