Pennsylvania, USA.

Anyone who is familiar with the history of Xi’an University knows that it is not only the largest city in Pennsylvania, but also the capital of Xi’an University. The world-famous Declaration of Independence was signed here.

It was just out of political and strategic considerations that after becoming the capital for more than ten years, its position as a political center was replaced by Washington, DC.

However, Philadelphia still had glory for a period of time. It was once one of the most important industrial cities of Xi'an University.

The rise of textile and machinery manufacturing has made Philadelphia the most important economic engine in the eastern part of West China.

It also incubated the world-renowned institution of Pennsylvania.

Unfortunately, after entering the new century, under the influence of progressive thought, this once great city eventually declined.

In fact, Philadelphia can be seen as a microcosm of the development of the entire West University. It once reached its peak and then fell down.

It’s nothing more than that the industry has declined too quickly, making the decline here look more obvious.

Fish Town, it is said to be a town, but in fact the concept is actually different from Huaxia Town. It is a community called Fish Town.

Located in the northeastern district of Philadelphia, it is about three kilometers straight from the city center. This was once a recognized low-income community, but when Xida and Dongda signed an agreement and countless Chinese people flocked to it, it became different.

First, all the roads were renovated, making the transportation connection between here and the city center extremely convenient, and is especially suitable for temporary residence for those working in the city center.

At the same time, the huge old city renovation project began here. That’s right, three years ago, Fish Town was one of the first old city renovation sites, and most of the indigenous houses here were expropriated.

However, in order to make the old city renovation smoothly, the conditions given by Xida official were still very good.

Not only will the indigenous people fully bear the accommodation expenses during the renovation, but after the renovation is completed, they will also return houses with larger living areas in place than before.

There are several sets and several sets of them. The locals feel very satisfied, but they are passed on to China, which makes many ordinary Chinese people speak out for ordinary people like Xida.

What to say, for Chinese people who have heard too many stories of getting rich after getting rich after demolition, the subsidy for Xi’an University is still a bit less interesting.

Isn’t it a basic operation to dismantle a building? There is no need to mention the transition costs during the period? Just solving the inconvenience caused by a temporary residence, no one said that this is a cheating of honest people?

Moreover, the land of Xida is owned by one!

However, for the indigenous people here, I really think the conditions are pretty good. The most important thing is that the official Xida official also promised that before returning the house, the indigenous people here can be completely exempted from property tax.

For the lower-income people who lived here before, this is actually quite attractive.

This means that no matter how long the renovation of the old city lasts, at least they don’t have to worry about being left on the street because they can’t pay property taxes during this period.

It is also said that the Chinese people also promised to build two high-quality schools and at least one high-quality park here in the plan. In addition, the renovation of two highways to the city center is not stupid, and you can know that after the renovation of the old city is completed, the value here will rise directly.

So although Chinese netizens on the Internet feel that it is not worth it for the people here, the contract was signed very smoothly at that time. Almost no one obstructed it.

Of course, some people may have obstructed it, but they were suppressed by understatement.

After all, for those in the white house, this decision can be said to be a bet on all the political future and future political legacy.

No matter how crazy you are, it is impossible for such a small matter to cause problems in the first item. After so many years of dealing with you, Hua Xia’s style of conduct is already familiar with it.

I can trust you for the first time, but if I get cheated this time, I won’t be that easy to talk to next time.

So I was really at the time, and major federal law enforcement agencies all sent people to watch.

Of course, this is the first time that China has created such a big scene in Xida University, so naturally it is necessary to do this well in one breath!

Not only for the sake of face, but also for more than 40 states to discuss infrastructure business with other developed countries in the future.

The instructions received by the construction company are to open up the market even if the first order business is not profitable.

So it is said that the renovation of the old city has almost become the reconstruction of the old city. Countless engineering equipment, along with the employees who are working hard on this land every day.

The renovation, which was originally scheduled to be completed in three years, has been completed in just two years, and Fish Town has completely changed its appearance.

In order to take care of the living habits of the indigenous people, even if it is just a community, it is divided into central areas and marginal areas.

The high-rise buildings in the central area echo the large villa communities around them. In addition, the wide and brand new roads, the unique road green belt system of China, and the brand new schools directly upgraded this previously low-income town into an extremely standard medium- and high-yield community.

In this community alone, housing prices have at least doubled in this year.

A few indigenous people chose to sell their houses and move out after they were rebuilt. The high housing price increase made them unable to afford the property tax they had to pay every year.

But more indigenous people remained. It was not that they had high incomes before, but that the old city renovation over the years, as long as they were not so rigid and were willing to endure such a little hardship, they could really change the class.

This is the case with the Johns family.

Richard John, who had originally barely lived on relief funds, found a job as a small worker at the construction site. The initial salary was actually not too much, but he had to work ten hours or even longer a day, and six days a week. Fortunately, he would pay overtime for more than eight hours and weekends overtime.

This will make about $2,000 a week. And the construction site will directly settle the worker who is not registered locally in cash.

The disadvantage is that insurance is not paid, but the advantage is that taxes are not required. However, this money is much better than what he had lived before. At least it can allow a family of five to live a life of food and clothing.

Especially when the Xida official solved the house problem during this period, and he did not need to pay property tax.

In short, seeing that life has a bright future, Richard John's work harder and diligently.

In this way, a year later, he was attracted by a small foreman sent by China. In addition, he had some welder foundations before.

So he was given a formal contract.

The salary of technical jobs naturally increased. You can earn 2,000 without working overtime every week. If you are willing to work overtime, you can naturally earn more. And after signing the formal contract, you will also have a good insurance.

Although this means he has to start paying taxes, having a stable job with good income and good insurance also means that the Johns family has moved from low-income people to the middle class threshold.

After the renovation of the old city was completed, they moved into their new home. Now Richard John, who is confident, can afford the property tax on the new house, so he naturally stayed here naturally.

Yes, after the renovation of the old city was completed, Richard did not lose his job, and in fact he now has more work. There are still many places in Philadelphia that need to be built.

Even if Philadelphia is renovated, there will be the entire Pennsylvania! The benefits of large land and sparse population are extremely obvious when the economy begins to recover.

The most important thing is that as a model project, the teaching environment of the two public schools in New Fish Town is good, and it is said that some of the elite teaching concepts of China have been introduced, and teachers are selected from the best, and half of them are specially hired from China.

This is already the best middle class school district in Philadelphia. It also has free education. Of course, besides books, this thing still costs money to buy. The school calls it knowledge payment.

Now Richard John's two children are in elementary school, and one child has already entered junior high school.

What made him feel most proud was his eldest son. The final exam scores he had just experienced ranked sixth in the whole year and won the honorary title of outstanding school-level scores. Not only that, the school stipulates that the top ten in the grade can be exempted from book fees and club activities, and the school will bear the fees.

Yes, under the deliberate guidance of teachers, the new school no longer uses sports performance to evaluate whether a person is excellent.

Instead, we look at the cultural course grades, and even if we have good grades, we will run a separate class.

Various awards of the school are also evaluated based on grades. And according to the latest regulations, although the situation outside the state has not been determined yet, the role of recommendation letters in state universities, such as Penn University, has been reduced, and the focus is on SAT and ACT

Results.

Among them, SAT will become the threshold for registration qualifications for universities in the state. If the scores do not meet the standards, no matter how outstanding other aspects are, they are not qualified to participate in the admission assessment.

Only when the SAT score is met can he be eligible to take the entrance examination organized by various universities. It is probably equivalent to the Chinese-style college entrance examination. Originally, Richard John also felt that it would be difficult for children to adapt to this change, but what he did not expect was that his children adapted quite quickly.

Especially his eldest son, Thomas John.

Although this name is very ordinary, Richard John thinks his eldest son may become a great scientist in the future. This is what the eldest son's Classroom Teacher said when he talks to him.

In the original words of ClassroomTeacher, Thomas has the hope of becoming a scientist like Professor Joe.

The Chinese name is a bit sensible, but he knows it but it doesn't read it very well. Unlike his eldest son, he scored 92 points in the midterm Chinese exam this time, and it was also the highest score in the whole grade.

When the parent-teacher meeting was held today, the teacher once again named Thomas, which made Richard feel happy and happy, so today's dinner was also particularly rich. There were six plates of exquisite dishes on the table. These were specially packaged from Chinese restaurants near the community.

Nowadays, this kind of fried meal is popular in the entire community. Chinese people always have a way to cook ordinary ingredients that are delicious, and not particularly expensive.

At least Richard's income can always afford to eat a few times a month, but it is much cheaper than nearby French restaurants.

There are more flavors.

As usual, after thanking the Lord for giving the family food, the little guys quickly started to move.

Richard and his wife watched the children happily feast on their children, and then slowly ate the food. Their chopsticks were not as good as those used by the three little guys at home.

So I eat slowly than the children.

It is also a consensus among many people in the whole town that using chopsticks should be used when eating Chinese food. This is a more civilized way of eating.

"Dad, can I go to bed later today?" Just as Richard enjoyed the warm family atmosphere, his eldest son Thomas suddenly made a request.

"Can I ask why, my child? Although tomorrow is Saturday, I know that the competition class will also have classes on Saturday." Richard looked at Thomas and asked gently.

It's not a ruthless request, it's just an occasional late sleep. If there is a suitable reason, he will agree.

He was not as good as Thomas when he was as old as he was. So he could understand that he wanted to go out for a party with his classmates on weekends.

Moreover, the security situation in Fish Town is very good now, so he doesn't need to worry about anything at all.

"Tonight at 9 o'clock in the evening, China will broadcast a manned moon landing to the world. I want to see it. And our teacher said that Professor Qiao Yu is one of the hosts of manned moon landing. Maybe he will also be interviewed during the live broadcast."

Thomas said excitedly.

It wasn't for going out to play? Richard was a little wrong, but he nodded quickly and replied, "Okay, but not more than twelve o'clock."

"Thank you dad!" Thomas said excitedly.

Richard shook his head slightly.

He knew that Thomas regarded Qiao Yu as his idol, but he really didn't expect Thomas to like Qiao Yu so much.

He was even excited to see it on TV. This made him feel a little weird.

But Richard didn't think much about it. He didn't understand so many big principles. If he had many prejudices against Chinese people in the past,

But now he no longer thinks that way, and even thinks that China is pretty good.

After all, the arrival of Chinese people has really changed his life and allowed him to live with more dignity.

"Don't thank me, this is what you deserve. And your reason is very legitimate! Come on, be a scientist in the future."

Richard encouraged him, and the three little guys excitedly discussed the topic of manned moon landing.

"Brother, is the moon you just mentioned that we can see every night?"

"Of course, it's that moon. The teacher said it is 300,000 kilometers away from the earth, so it's a very cool thing to be able to go up! But this time it's different. Human beings will build a scientific research base on it for the first time! This is the beginning of human civilization moving towards the universe!"

"Human civilization? Why isn't it Chinese civilization?"
