In the spring of 2003, the SARS virus spread in China, and the epidemic also made Li Wei and his party in the UK understand.
When the epidemic was released, the international students were nervous and panicked. Li Wei also called home many times to confirm the health of his family members, and repeatedly advised them not to enter and leave crowded places.
Ordinary people as long as they don't enter the places where infection is easy, but her second brother is a medical worker. Once an epidemic occurs, the medical worker rushes to the front line to get close to these patients. Li Wei is very worried about her second brother's current situation and checks with her second brother every two days to see if he is healthy.
"Wei, don't worry, I'll be fine. You have to take care of yourself when you are outside." Li Jianbo said to Li Wei in the video. Although he has been working for two consecutive days and has not rested much, he is still exhausted in front of the camera. Try to make himself look good, he doesn't want his sister to worry about him.
After turning off the video, Li Wei yawned. Here, Qiu Ci asked: "Your second brother is a doctor?"
"Yeah, so I don't worry about him the most." It was difficult for her to have such a big event.
Regarding the epidemic situation in Daqi, she also appeared on a large scale, but at that time she was just a little Li 嫔 in Zhaoyang Hall. When the epidemic broke out, the Emperor Xian sent half of the people from the Taiyuan Hospital to patrol everywhere, and at the same time increased the construction of the Hui Medical Department. It's a pity that the ancient system and outdated medical technology eventually caused tens of thousands of people to die from the epidemic, which brought a great shock to the dynasty.
With the development of the times to this step, Li Wei firmly believes that this threshold will pass smoothly.
Gradually it was early summer, and there was an art festival in Edinburgh every summer. My colleagues thought about getting tickets for a certain musical and came to ask them if they would go.
Qiu Ci liked to have fun and agreed, but Li Wei was not interested. Qiu Ci encouraged her: "Go, go, there won't be such an opportunity next year. It's fun for everyone to act together."
Li Wei finally agreed: "Okay."
By the time the art festival opened, the domestic epidemic had been brought under control, and Li Wei's hanging heart was let go, and he went to Edinburgh with his companions in peace.
Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and a world-famous cultural city.
There are ancient castles, Holyrood Palace, and St Giles Cathedral. An ancient city full of literary and artistic atmosphere. Walking past those ancient buildings seems to bring people back to the distant Middle Ages.
Coupled with the holding of the art festival, this ancient city is even more lively.
It is also the first time that Li Wei has watched a musical performance. This is not the same as watching opera. She is not familiar with the story she is performing, and there are some things she can't understand in the lyrics, but it does not hinder their viewing. For those who love art For people, this is a carnival.
During the two-hour performance, with thunderous applause or laughter from time to time, emotions were easily moved. The performance ended successfully. All the cast and crew came to the curtain call. Many audience members below have stood up and applauded warmly.
Qiu Ci said to Li Wei on the side: "It's really interesting."
Edinburgh is also a summer resort. Even in such a hot August, the temperature here is only ten degrees Celsius, and you can't feel the shadow of summer.
After watching the performance, everyone came out together, and some people said they would visit St Giles Cathedral.
Li Wei didn't have much interest in these church-like buildings, but he was dragged away by his companions. Many tourists gathered in the square outside the cathedral. Li Wei aimed at the lens and slowly adjusted the focus and aperture. At this time, a group of guards in formal wear passed by and she quickly pressed the button.
Then she wanted to shoot from another angle, but because of the crowd, she almost ran into a person who was also shooting, and she quickly apologized to that person in English.
The man smiled back and waved to Li Wei.
When the two of them looked at each other, they were a little bit astonished. The young man opposite had the same East Asian face, but saw that he was wearing a white sweater, carrying a bag, and keeping short hair. Familiar with each other, but Li Wei couldn't remember where he had met.
It happened that Qiu Ci was urging her not far away: "Li Wei, come on!"
Li Wei agreed, smiled apologetically at the man, turned around and left. The man suddenly came over and grabbed Li Wei's arm, looked at Li Wei in surprise, and asked: "Are you Li Wei?"
Speaking in Chinese, who are also Chinese? Li Wei looked at him more and more surprised, and asked: "I'm familiar with you, but I can't figure out who you are. Do we know him?"
"Are you really Li Wei from Grade Three and Four of Chengnan Middle School?"
"You are..." Li Wei remembered, and she said with surprise and joy: "Oh, you are Lin Haishu, God, how come I met you here."
"Well, I've been in the UK since last month, and I didn't expect you to be here." The joy on the young man's face was even greater than that of Li Wei. The classmates who had been a teenager did not expect to meet in a foreign country. They will be ten years away soon.
Qiu Ci was still urging Li Wei, and Li Wei had to say to Lin Haishu in a hurry: "I'm in Westminster, leave a phone call for you. If you don't leave, we can make an appointment to visit London."
Lin Haishu took out a ballpoint pen and stretched out his palm. Li Wei lowered his head and hurriedly wrote down his contact information on his palm. This hurried farewell to Lin Haishu.
Lin Haishu looked at the figure of the former girl leaving, still feeling like she was in a dream. He glanced at the series of English words on his palm, she was really here.
"Have you met anyone?" Qiu Ci asked with a smile.
Li Wei replied, "Well, a high school classmate."
Qiu Ci said in amazement: "God, this world is too small, you can encounter it by chance."
"There is nothing wrong. Sometimes fate is so wonderful."
Although Li Wei left Lin Haishu's contact information, she never thought that Lin Haishu could really find her. When Lin Haishu stood outside their dormitory door, Li Wei was taken aback: "How did you find this place?"
"According to the address you gave me, and then ask a few more people to find it." Lin Haishu glanced inward, there are still people inside.
This is the dormitory where two girls live. It seems inconvenient for Lin Haishu to go in and sit. Li Wei went into the room and took a knitted sweater. He carried his bag and said to Qiu Ci, "I'll go out."
Qiu Ci smiled and greeted Lin Haishu: "Hello, I am Li Wei's colleague, and now her classmate."
Lin Haishu was a little shy and greeted Qiu Ci, and Li Wei said, "The inside is too narrow to be convenient. Please go in and sit down. Let's go down."
