Chapter 525: Am I Bringing Shame to My Countrymen?

Suddenly, a spring breeze came overnight, and thousands of pear trees blossomed.

In the heavy snow, the pine and cypress trees in the green belt downstairs of Union Hospital were covered with a layer of silver.

Most of the pedestrians who hurried through the snow had frowns or looked worried.

After all, a hospital is not a good place.

Except for doctors and nurses, most of the people who come here are either sick and hospitalized.

Or their family members are sick and hospitalized, and they can't be happy even if they want to.

Very few people are in the mood to play snowballs and make snowmen like Zhang Qian and Wu Mingshi.

Looking at the snowflakes falling like goose feathers, Luo Xuning suddenly felt a little itchy.

Clay figurines and sculptures seem to be similar, but there are still big differences in specific techniques and details.

"How about making an ice sculpture in the snow to cheer up the first heavy snow in Beijing?"

Once this idea came up, it could never be dispelled.

If he didn't build a snowman and get this done today, Luo Shuning felt that he wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.

Snap!

When Luo Shuning was lost in thought, a loose snowball the size of a fist burst out on the back of his head.

"Hahaha! I said I'm always accurate, I can hit whatever I point at!"

Seven or eight meters away from Luo Shuning, Zhang Qian excitedly showed off her accuracy to Zhao Rui and Wu Mingshi.

"It's time to teach you how to call a snowball fight. If I don't help you get rid of the addiction to snowball fights today, I'm not Zhang!"

Luo Shuning smiled slightly, squatted down, and with a big hand, a snowball the size of a walnut was formed instantly.

With a flick of his arm, the snowball flew out and flew straight to Zhang Qian's forehead!

With a snap, the snowball hit Zhang Qian's forehead squarely. Zhang Qian, who was just proud, suddenly lost her composure.

"Damn it, he dared to sneak attack me, Fatty, Xiao Rui, come together, give him a good beating!"

Zhang Qian called out, Wu Mingshi and Zhao Rui responded instantly, and the three of them immediately launched a counterattack.

Swish! Three snowballs flew towards Luo Shuning from different directions, and Luo Shuning just slightly turned his body to avoid them all.

Yesterday afternoon, when he competed with Jason Douglas, Shi Junjie's bodyguard, Luo Shuning turned on the [Unstoppable] state.

At this moment, the [Unstoppable] state has not ended, and Luo Shuning's abilities in all aspects have been strengthened 10 times.

With 10 times the reaction ability, let alone a few snowballs, even bullets can be avoided.

On the contrary, with the blessing of 10 times the strength and reaction, every snowball thrown by Luo Xuning would not miss, and all landed on Zhang Qian.

"Ahhh! I'm so angry, I'm so angry, you only want to hit me, right!"

"Fatty, cover me! Cover me! Oh my god! How did you cover me!"

"Fatty, you are in the same group with Luo Zi, right? You are the undercover sent by him to my side! You are so big that you can't cover me!"

The snowballs thrown by Luo Xuning are like missiles equipped with tracking and positioning.

No matter how Wu Mingshi and Zhao Rui cover, the snowballs can fall on Zhang Qian from all angles and directions.

"No more fighting, no more fighting, I surrender! I surrender! Surrender to Brother Ning!"

After being hit by snowballs no less than 100 times, Zhang Qian hid behind Wu Mingshi and raised her hands to surrender.

"Hehe, that's more like it. You know what will happen if you provoke me this time."

Luo Shuning patted the snow on his hands and laughed happily.

"Damn it, you practice martial arts just to bully our sister Qian, right?"

Wu Mingshi stood up for Zhang Qian with a distressed look on his face.

Luo Shuning smiled and said, "You are bullying the minority with your numbers, three of you are beating me, I haven't said anything to you yet, you are still right."

"Master is so awesome, I am completely convinced, how come you are so awesome at everything!"

Zhao Rui looked at Luo Shuning with admiration, she was really convinced by Luo Shuning.

Not only is he good at cooking, he is also so good at kung fu, and he can easily beat three people in a snowball fight.

Luo Shuning gave Zhao Rui the feeling that he was omnipotent.

"Cut, what's the matter, I'm just pregnant and it's inconvenient for me to move, otherwise, ten of him wouldn't be my opponent."

Zhang Qian snorted, maintaining the last stubbornness.

"Yes, yes, yes, you are right." Luo Shuning did not argue with her and agreed with a smile.

"Eh? Look, it seems that someone is making a snowman over there, and there is a group of people around."

Xu Kejing, who had been watching the fire from the sidelines for a long time, suddenly pointed to a group of people not far away and shouted in surprise.

Luo Shuning and others looked in the direction of Xu Kejing's finger, and as she said, there was a group of people about 30 to 40 meters away from the snowball fight.

From a distance, you can vaguely see that a tall man is making a snowman in the crowd.

Generally speaking, the snowmen made by ordinary people are all the same, with a big round ball at the bottom as the body of the snowman, and a smaller round ball at the top as the head of the snowman.

Put a hat on the snowman's head, or insert a stick, and insert two sticks into the snowman's body as the snowman's arms, and a minimalist version of the snowman is ready.

But the snowman made by the man in the distance was different from the ones people usually saw.

It was too far away, and the heavy snow blocked the view, so the outline of the work was not clear, but it could be seen that the snowman was about the same size as an adult, and the shape was also normal.

In front of the snowman, the tall man seemed to be outlining the facial contours of the snowman.

"That's a master! Let's go and take a look!"

Zhang Qian always liked to join in the fun, and when she saw that there was fun to join in, she immediately dragged Wu Mingshi to the old man's side.

"Brother, Xiaorui, let's go and take a look too!"

Xu Kejing also looked very interested, and looked at Luo Shuning with hope.

"Let's go, take a look."

Luo Shuning smiled and agreed, and raised his legs to follow Zhang Qian and Wu Mingshi in front of him.

The place where they had just played snowballs was no more than 30 meters away from the place where the tall man was making snowmen, and they arrived in front of him in a few steps.

When Luo Shuning approached, he found that the tall man who was making snowmen was a foreigner with silver-gray curly hair.

The man looked to be in his forties, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a very three-dimensional facial contour.

Two Chinese students, a boy and a girl, stood on the left and right of the man. The two students looked at the foreigner with admiration in their eyes.

In addition to Luo Xuning and Zhang Qian, many passers-by were attracted by the snowman made by the foreigner and stopped to watch.

"Wow! Is this Snow White? It's so similar! It's just like the real one running out of a fairy tale!"

"This look, these facial features, this temperament, so realistic!"

"I am convinced, the skill of making snowmen is definitely the best in the world!"

"Professional, this is too professional!"

"So amazing, this skill must have taken decades of hard work!"

"It's the same snowman, this is the difference between amateurs and professionals!"

The onlookers praised and praised the foreigner's work.

The foreigner seemed to understand the praise of the crowd. When he outlined the face of the snowman, the corners of his mouth showed a confident and satisfied smile.

The foreigner is named David Osborne, a senior professor of the Sculpture Department of the University of Leeds, and is currently doing cultural exchange in China Arts.

David Osborne has only one idol, and that is Henry Moore.

Henry Moore's full name is Henry Spencer Moore, one of the most famous sculptors in the world in the 20th century.

Henry Moore is famous for his large-scale bronze and marble sculptures.

The "Reclining Figure" exhibited in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge shows a highly streamlined and abstract female image, which is a typical representative of Moore's sculptural style.

Henry Moore's representative works include "Reclining Figure", "Family Group Portrait", "King and Queen", etc.

In order to commemorate the establishment of the first nuclear reactor "Chicago Pile-1", Henry Moore specially designed and produced the monument "Nuclear Energy" from 1963 to 1967, which is now erected on the campus of the University of Chicago in the United States.

David Osborne's sculpture style is more realistic, and the sculptures he created are most praised for being "lifelike".

His idol is Henry Moore not because of his skills, but more because of his historical status and fame.

When he was young, David Osborne aspired to become a world-renowned sculptor like Henry Moore.

However, this wish is obviously a bit far away for him.

Although he is talented and has a high level of understanding, he still has a certain gap from the top artists and sculptors like Henry Moore.

Moreover, this gap may require a lifetime of hard work to make up.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

Ten minutes later, David Osborne stopped his hand movements.

The vivid Snow White made of white snow descended on the snow of Beijing Union Hospital.

"This is amazing. This must be a senior professor from the art academy!"

"Oh my god, I watched it from beginning to end. It only took half an hour to build such a realistic snowman. I am completely convinced!"

"Hurry up and take a photo and post it on WeChat Moments or TikTok. It will definitely become popular!"

"This is the first time I have seen someone who can play with snowmen so well. This foreigner is amazing."

After seeing David Osborne's finished work, everyone exclaimed in admiration again.

"This foreigner is quite capable. He is almost catching up with you, Luo Zi."

After seeing David Osborne's finished Snow White, Zhang Qian turned her head to look at Luo Xuning and said something jokingly.

Zhang Qian's voice is always loud, and this time is no exception. She did not avoid anything.

As soon as Zhang Qian finished speaking, David Osborne turned his head to look at her.

Among the voices of praise, Zhang Qian's words just now were particularly harsh. It's no wonder that David Osborne noticed her.

"Zhong Guoren, what did you just say?"

David Osborne questioned Zhang Qian in the poor Mandarin he had just learned in the past six months.

The two students beside him, a boy and a girl, also turned their heads to look at Zhang Qian, looking very unhappy.

"Oh! You can speak Mandarin, not bad, it seems that you will be in our country for a long time!"

Zhang Qian felt like laughing when she saw David Osborne's poor Beijing-style Mandarin.

"Auntie, please be careful with your words. Professor David Osborne is a distinguished guest of the University of Leeds who came to China Arts Exchange and enjoys a certain reputation worldwide."

Before David Osborne said anything, the boy standing on his left, who looked like a student, was unhappy and spoke up for him.

"Eh? Who are you calling auntie, you little brat? Which eye of yours saw that I am your auntie?"

When Zhang Qian heard that the boy actually called her auntie, she was immediately unhappy and her tone became a little unhappy.

Although she was usually careless about dressing up and was too lazy to take care of herself, she was not to the extent of being called auntie by a college student.

It was obvious that the boy was not used to it or because Zhang Qian's words offended the foreigner, so the boy came to save face for the foreigner and find a place.

The girl next to her also said, "Auntie, you can joke around in private.

Say these things in front of Professor David, people will think we are impolite and low-quality, and we will embarrass the Chinese people."

After hearing what the girl said, Zhang Qian was immediately furious and snorted:

"I embarrass the Chinese people? How can you two lick a foreigner and bring honor to the Chinese people?"

"Please be careful with your words. Where did we lick Professor David? We are just correcting your wrong remarks!"

"That's right, no one cares if you brag in private, but if you brag in front of the professor, you are not embarrassed, I am embarrassed for you!"

The boy and the girl were arguing with Zhang Qian.

Some other onlookers said something, some agreed with Zhang Qian and Wu Mingshi, and some thought that the two students did nothing wrong.

"An, Wang, don't bother with them, let's go back to the ward."

David Osborne looked at Luo Shuning and said provocatively:

"Chinese food is OK, but sculptures are far from good."

Luo Shuning originally didn't want to bother with David Osborne, but after hearing his last sentence, he changed his mind.

"Haha, foreign food is not very good, and sculptures are not very good either."

Luo Shuning's eyes shifted from David Osborne's face to his works, with a very disdainful expression on his face.

"Good! That's a great sentence! Why are foreigners so proud of themselves!"

"Isn't it just that the sculptures are better? What's so proud about it!"

"That's right, in our country, if you say that our country is not good, you are mentally ill. If you don't like our country, don't come!"

Luo Shuning's words resonated with many people in the crowd around him.

In the face of national honor and disgrace, everyone is still very united.

David Osborne was not angry after hearing what Luo Shuning said, but asked:

"Oh? Young man, do you want to give me some effective suggestions for my sculpture?"

Luo Shuning said calmly: "Forget about suggestions. If you really let me make suggestions, there are too many. You have to start all over again."
