Lisko’s American Life

After dealing with many chores, Lisko and Megan finally boarded the plane for travel.

Megan was full of interest holding the "China Travel Recommendation" album bought from the airport, and asked Lisko's opinion from time to time, "Where shall we go first? The first one to go to the Great Wall? They say that if you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not considered a man. "

Li Sko smiled wryly. He had been in China for so long in his previous life, and he had never been to the famous Great Wall, nor the capital Beijing.

"Then go there."

Sitting on the plane, Lisko was full of emotions. He was a Chinese, and he set foot on the land of China again. He was actually a foreigner. He was trapped in a second-tier city in his previous life, and he didn’t have the time, energy and money to see it. The great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

The flight time from New York to Beijing is generally 13 hours, and Lisko’s cabin is still first class. Lisko earns so much money, and he doesn’t have any need to spend money, so he usually pays more attention to comfort during the trip, so Pick the best cabin.

There are many Chinese in the first class, just a few foreigners mixed in.

On the plane, Megan greeted everyone in her awkward Chinese, which she only knew one sentence. "Great Hao"

"Li Hao,"

Generally, you will get a good response from other Chinese people.

Since China officially joined the WTO in 2001, the economic level has risen sharply, and the living conditions of many Chinese people have become better and better. Some businessmen seized the opportunity to make a fortune and began to pay attention to their own enjoyment. It's nothing to them.

Sitting in the back seat of Lisko was a middle-aged man in his forties. He smiled and watched Megan greet everyone, and responded with the same awkward English from time to time.

He stumbled and greeted Lisko in English.

"China welcomes you" has an irresistible pride in his brows and eyes.

"Thank you." Lisko responded politely in Mandarin.

"I studied in China, so I can speak Mandarin."

Studying in China is naturally an excuse for Lisko to hide his knowledge of Chinese. Otherwise, how can an American who has never been abroad be fluent in Mandarin? Of course, this reason is not too clever. If you check Lisko's experience, you will find that he has been studying in college, and returned to Colorado after a few years in New York after graduation. Fortunately, Lisko usually tells strangers, and no one has the leisure to check one. Have Americans ever been to China to study?

People will only praise you for your fluent Mandarin, and then think about how much effort you have put in to learn Chinese. They may say this as a rare thing after tea, wine and dinner to increase their national pride.

"Hey? Do you know? I met an old American, American, and a foreign devil who can speak Mandarin fluently. Isn't it unusual?"

The middle-aged man is Liu Yang, the boss of a coastal trading company, whose main business is to dump high-quality and cheap Chinese goods to the United States. He went to the United States this time to develop new customers, and everything went well, and he boarded the flight back to China with a good mood.

"Are you going to China to study or work?" He chatted, killing the boring ten-hour journey.

"Go on a trip." Lisko covered Megan, who was tired and asleep, with a blanket. This woman who had never been to China checked various strategies and precautions in the middle of the night yesterday.

Liu Yang summoned the stewardess, ordered two glasses of red wine, handed a glass to Lisko, and the two began to chat across the sofa.

"Travel is good. There are so many beautiful places in China. I am mainly busy with work. When I get older, I can hand over the company to my son, and I can also go see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland by myself." He took a sip of red wine and sighed .

"If you are traveling, I will recommend a few places for you. The Great Wall, the Great Wall must be visited. It has a history of thousands of years. The wisdom and hard work of the ancients are really amazing," Liu Yang enthusiastically introduced to Lisko.

"And my hometown. I am from Zhejiang, China. There is the famous Qiandao Lake in my hometown. There are 1078 islands dotted in the lake, which is the lake with the most islands in the world. The scenery is very beautiful, but it is a pity that I have been working in Guangzhou company, otherwise I will definitely entertain you in my hometown."

Li Ke and Liu Yang talked, drank red wine, and fell asleep during the long journey.

When the plane arrived at Beijing International Airport, Lisko and Megan put on the down jackets they had prepared a long time ago. The winter in Beijing is extremely cold. Although it has not yet reached the level of snowfall, the cold wind is still blowing. Getting out of the cabin still makes people shiver involuntarily.

Lisko went to pick up the checked luggage, and contacted the driver at the hotel to pick him up next to the airport, and the two of them got in the car and rushed to the hotel.

The hotel Lisko booked is the Beijing Hilton Hotel opened by the Hilton Group in Beijing in 1994. It is located in the center of the Lufthansa business district and the diplomatic embassy district in BJ City. It is only a 20-minute drive from Beijing Capital International Airport, and it is easy to travel between major tourist destinations Attractions, large shopping centers and entertainment venues.

Considering the convenience of traveling and going to scenic spots, Lisko chose this hotel. It is located in the center of Chaoyang commercial and diplomatic embassy district in BJ City. It is only a 20-minute drive from Beijing Capital International Airport. It is connected to major tourist attractions including Tiananmen, the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall of China.

Lisko sat in the car, looking at the bustling buildings outside the window, feeling very complicated in his heart, and Megan lay on the window and looked out.

"It's very developed here, not as dilapidated as it is in the news. I think it's more developed than cities in some European countries."

When the car arrived at the hotel, the two of them got out of the car. The bustling and beautifully decorated hotel gate did not look like the Hilton in the United States at all.

Lisko followed the front desk staff to check in. He booked the room by phone early. The night was already dark, and he just wanted to go upstairs and take a hot shower as soon as possible in the cold weather.

The reservation was Hilton's Royal Suite. Lisko entered the room. This suite covers an area of ​​200 square meters. The interior is decorated with crystal lamps and world-renowned brand furniture. It uses the world's avant-garde decoration technology and contains classical Chinese elements. The wooden floors, plush fabrics, and solemn colors in the guest rooms are integrated with each other. The modern conveniences equipped will make you feel at home, and there is also a separate kitchen for private cocktail parties.

Lisko and Megan took a hot couple bath together. Of course, intimate things were inevitable. After washing away the fatigue of the long journey, the stomach began to rebel. Of course, authentic food is indispensable in China.
