  －－－－－

  Since the arrival of exchange students from the United States, the international academic exchange program has been widely spread in the school. Previously, only a small number of people knew about it, but now everyone knows. When everyone learned that the list of exchange students going to the United States had not yet been finalized, they immediately became restless and reported this matter to their parents after returning home, expressing their strong desire to go abroad.

  It's not like before, in the past, everyone had a kind of fear towards foreign countries. But after reform and opening up, all sorts of avant-garde and trendy things from abroad gradually began to become popular in China, accompanied by various thoughts and trends. Due to the disparity between technology and national strength, a wave of worshipping foreign things gradually formed domestically, basically everyone's first reaction to foreign things was that they were good, as if even the moon abroad was rounder than the one at home.

  Moreover, this time it is a policy encouraged by the state.

  Some well-informed sources have made it clear that the "International Student Exchange Program" began after World War II, with the main purpose of strengthening exchanges between different countries, enhancing mutual understanding, cultural communication and academic exchange among nations, and promoting friendly exchanges between countries.

  This program has been booming abroad for a long time, and everyone still has the opportunity to choose their favorite country. It's just that China joined this program relatively late, and it hasn't officially become one of them until now, and this time is just a pilot run.

  Exchange students study at a designated school abroad, make new friends, learn required subjects, and participate in school club activities.

  The attraction is really too great, not only can you gain different experiences in a different education system, but also through a year of overseas exchange life, students' abilities in all aspects can be honed and their life experience enriched. Even if nothing else is learned, at least one's foreign language skills can be improved in such an environment, which alone is enough to attract people.

  And this time's initial trial, the national authority is still responsible for all expenses of the school, and the exchange object is surprisingly the United States, which undoubtedly increases the attractiveness of this international exchange.

  As a result, when parents realized that this opportunity was extremely rare and could also bring great benefits to their children, they took action one after another, using their various connections to try to secure a spot.

  Xu Wenjing wasn't very interested in this matter, so she didn't mention it to her parents. However, they eventually found out from other sources and casually asked her about it. Seeing that their daughter wasn't interested, they didn't bring it up again. At their level, they don't want to compete with others for such a quota. If their daughter really wants to go, it would be more convenient to just study abroad directly.

  Xu Wenjing came to school on the second day, and many people were already gossiping around her, wanting to know if she had decided to go or not.

  Among these people, some of them regarded her as a potential competitor. After all, Xu Wenjing was indeed too excellent and seemed to have an extraordinary family background. It's estimated that she would go with 80% probability. When they learned that Xu Wenjing had no interest in it at all, they naturally breathed a sigh of relief. The quota is limited, now it's like having one more quota available.

  Some people are pursuers and admirers of Xu Wenjing, their intention is very clear. If Xu Wenjing decides to go, they will also try their best to strive for it. If not, then there's no need to waste these thoughts. After all, a year is not a short period of time, who knows what will happen in a year?

  Those American students have not been assigned to specific classes yet, but are being led by staff members on a campus tour. After that, they will be placed with Chinese host families based on their individual situations to begin their exchange student journey.

  Jingcheng High School is one of the top high schools in China, with excellent software and hardware conditions. Since its founding in 1907, the campus has undergone several expansions and renovations, resulting in a blend of traditional and modern architecture, making it one of the few model high schools in the country.

  Xu Wenjing still didn't go to class today, but instead accompanied everyone on a tour of the Science Building, Library, Canteen, Laboratory...

  This time I changed translators and although it was still a bit of trouble, communication became relatively smooth.

  In conversation, Cook happened to hear from a student representative that there was an amateur radio enthusiast club in the school, and immediately became interested. For him, it's better to see some student-organized clubs or organizations than to see how good the school's equipment is.

  Under his strong request, everyone had no choice but to change their original route and head towards the club instead.

  This wireless amateur club, led by a physics teacher and formed spontaneously by students, had all its equipment brought from the students' homes, with the school only lending them an abandoned small office. At this time, the relevant leaders of the school were considering disbanding the club, worrying that it would affect the students' studies and exam scores, but unexpectedly, it came in handy at this moment.

  Cook is a seasoned ham, with related technology being very familiar. When he saw the radio in S, he directly sat on the radio and started operating it. The performance of this radio was not bad, and the antenna effect was barely acceptable. Cook made calls to several hams far away in the United States in front of everyone.

  When he saw the QSL cards and some contest records on the wall of the room, he praised the club members. On the spot, two exchange students from the United States proposed to join this club because they were also hams and had obtained their own callsigns.

  Unfortunately, among all the club members, only Xu Wenjing has her own independent call sign, while others use the club's collective call sign in their daily lives and have not yet applied for their personal call signs.

  Xu Wenjing was always with them, sometimes as a small reporter for the school news agency, and sometimes as a student representative responsible for receiving guests. However, she didn't communicate much with Cook, partly because she couldn't quite understand his New York accent, and also because there were many students competing to talk to him, and she didn't want to join in the commotion.

  However, as the only amateur radio enthusiast in Club S with his own call sign, Ham was named by Cook to exchange QSL cards as a memento.

  Although she didn't carry cards like Cook, there were a few left in the club activity room, so they signed each other's callsign and various parameters.

  Cook pulled out a small metal box similar to a business card holder from his pocket and said, "My luck seems to be pretty good. I just arrived in the capital city and met two hamster friends. What a great start."

  China has a large population, but the number of hams is relatively small. When he communicates with other countries, he encounters foreign hams more frequently than Chinese ones. However, he finds that this perception needs to be changed as China's ham development seems to be doing well and the younger generation is growing rapidly.

  Xu Wenjing asked casually: "I don't know who was the first ham that Mr. Cook met after coming to China?"

  Cook smiled and replied: "He's still young, look, this is his QSL card."

  "Wow!!" Xu Wenjing couldn't help but exclaim when she saw the card in his hand.
