Chapter 448 Everyone gathers
The weather is still very cold.
On February 21st, a flight from the United States landed with a huge roar that seemed to instantly dispel the cold air in Berlin.
The Chinese people had been waiting for a long time. Liu Zhigu's eyes quickly searched among the passengers who were pouring out. Chen Qi held a sign in his hand and said with a smile: "Director Liu, you don't recognize them. Who are you looking at?"
"I don't recognize it, but they do. Is your sign in vain?"
"Hey, are they those?"
Chen Qi looked in the direction he pointed, and saw five foreigners coming out. They also searched around and found this place. They strode over decisively and said, "It must be it!"
"Be prepared to welcome us, and pay attention to your manners!"
A few people quickly arranged their clothes, and while they were talking, the five foreigners had already walked closer. The leader was a blond woman in her 50s. She took a look, and without any politeness, she looked very enthusiastic when she came up: "They are ours."
Are you friends from China? The crew of "Life is Beautiful"?"
"Yes, you are Ms. Shadra?"
Liu Zhigu deduced based on her age, and sure enough, the other party smiled and nodded, and the four people behind him also followed her, with the same cordiality and enthusiasm, as if they were old friends they hadn't seen for many years.
"How many people came in total?"
"There are two more British friends and a Dutch friend who have already arrived first!"
"We can't wait to meet them!"
Everyone got in the car and returned to the hotel in the city.
At the hotel entrance and lobby, Shadra was surprised to find that there were many reporters lurking here. They swarmed around and wanted to put the camera into their mouth, saying random things.
"Sorry, sorry, I won't be interviewed today!"
"Please give way!"
Xiao Mo and Xiao Yang blocked the reporters and protected everyone into the elevator. Shadra said: "It seems that something terrible happened here to make them so crazy. Your publicity is very successful!"
"Thanks to the help of the Japanese, they protested on the red carpet and asked us to withdraw from the film festival!" Chen Qi said with a smile.
"oh!"
Shadra was stunned for a moment, then understood, and laughed, suddenly speaking in Shandong Mandarin: "I remember a Chinese saying, it seems to be called a blessing in disguise?"
“Haha, yes, yes, your Chinese is very good!”
"Of course, I studied in Yantai."
Going upstairs, a bearded British uncle had been waiting for a long time. He recognized her and opened his arms: "Look who this is? Our little Shadra!"
"Uncle Ron?"
"Oh my god, it's really you!"
Shadra ran over excitedly and hugged him: "Except for your beard, nothing has changed. Last year, I founded a mutual aid group to look for my lost friends. I was still wondering where you would be, but I didn't expect you to be there."
We meet again here!”
There are currently eight people here, namely:
Professor at Shanghai International Studies University, Briton, Bai Lishi.
British former pilot, Ron Bridge.
Scott, a former employee of Shell Oil Company's Shanghai branch.
Former American military doctor, Raymond.
Reynold, former captain of the USS Wake.
Former manager of Dodge Motor Company in China, Mackenzie.
Wife of Citibank Chairman, Shadra.
Former British Olympic champion, Eric Liddell's daughter, now Canadian, Patricia.
Some of them were fellow prisoners from the concentration camps back then. Seeing each other after 40 years, they couldn't hold back their tears. They chatted for a while before Shadra pulled away and asked, "Is there anyone else who hasn't arrived yet?"
"There's another one arriving tonight!"
"Which one?"
"Sarah Imas, a Chinese housewife."
Shadra responded with a look of suspicion.
"She is Jewish and her father is a refugee from Shanghai." Chen Qi further explained.
"oh?"
Shadra raised her eyebrows and gave a thumbs up: "Chen, you are very smart, very smart!"

During World War II, Japan wanted to support the Jews in reviving their country in Northeast China. However, after 1940, as the war situation changed and Mustache became dissatisfied, Japan also began to harm the Jews.
The rich were taken to various concentration camps, while the ordinary were put into quarantine areas.
In the 1980s, the Soviet Union was still there, the international situation was complex, and Jews had not yet controlled mainstream public opinion. But the 1990s were different.
In the 1990s, people all over the world were suddenly flooded with the message that "Jews are smart and intelligent and can make money, but they are being persecuted and everyone feels sorry for the Jews." This shows that they have begun to control the tools of public opinion.
Not to mention future generations, the value of the mustache is increasing day by day.
"Life Is Beautiful" doesn't have much content about Jews. It only gives a few shots of the quarantine area, but this element is very necessary. Just like this Salaimas, she is not a celebrity, and her experience is not worth mentioning, but she appears
It's very necessary in Berlin.
Chen Qi tried his best to find her.
She is of Chinese nationality. She was married three times in China and gave birth to three children. After China established diplomatic relations with Israel, she took her children back with her. However, she came back in her later years and published a book to teach people how to raise children, just like that kind of success.
It’s like chicken soup for the soul.
Fortunately, she is Chinese. If she were overseas, Chen Qi would not want to mess with her.
It's easy now, just give her a few hundred dollars and she'll come.
So far, a total of 9 people have gathered!
…………
That night.
The streets in the film festival activity area were brightly lit, busy with traffic, and tall and strong Germans were coming and going, making Chen Qi and Gong Xue among them particularly conspicuous.
Chen Qi is 178cm tall. He always thought he was quite tall. Now he thinks 180+ is better. However, he tilted his head and looked at his 163cm sister and laughed: "You are so small!"
"Why are you convulsing again?"
Gong Xue was not surprised by his nervousness and didn't want to pay attention to it. She pointed at a store and said: "Go and have a look over there!"
"That's the one selling film festival souvenirs. Who do you want to give it to?"
"Can't I give it to myself? Let's go!"
She dragged Chen Qi in. It was a small shop that sold albums, cards, books, posters, etc. from the film festival. Gong Xue picked out a few postcards and an English book.
"You are interested in English books? I can't even read them!"
"Study, it would be embarrassing to be with you without knowing English. Besides, I often go out and have to communicate. Hey, what do you think of my current English level?"
"It's not bad, practice your speaking more."
"Are you so depressed?" Gong Xue gave him a blank look.
"You understand it as soon as you hear it, and you still have the nerve to criticize me!"
"That's what I learned from you!"
The two of them were always in a very tight environment when they came to Berlin. The premiere was tomorrow, but they came out to go shopping.
Walking out of the store, Gong Xue held a book in one hand and held his arm in the other, asking: "Archie, are you stressed?"
"Call honey!"
"Dear Archie, are you stressed?"
"It's great, but I can't show it. Anyone can show it, but I can't."
"Actually, sometimes I..."
Gong Xue paused and said: "Sometimes I really feel that you are putting a burden on yourself, even though you obviously don't have to do those things."
"Do you feel sorry for me?"
"Well, if I don't feel sorry for you, who will feel sorry for you?"
"It's nothing. I have to leave something behind when I come to the human world. I don't know anything else. I only know some literary and artistic works, so let's do it."
