In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, due to the closed-door policy of the Qing government before, the national economy could not be developed, so it became very poor, so it was bullied by the great powers of various countries. However, at this special time, Columbia University in the United States actually opened a Chinese department in the school for a Chinese, which is really incredible, so who will this person be?
His name is Ding Long, he is a native of Guangzhou, he went to the United States because of his life at the age of eighteen, but after arriving in the United States, because of his low status, he became an entourage in carpentier's family, helping his master run errands every day. Carpentier, a lawyer in the United States, gained great wealth and opened a bank because of the discovery of gold in California, and because he had a lot of wealth, he bought a piece of land to build a city, the city is called Oakland.
But Carpentier had a shortcoming, that is, he was very grumpy, and after every drink, he would go crazy and fight against his servants and retinue, Ding Long was not spared at that time, and he was fired by Carpentier on the spot. When Carpentier woke up drunk and remembered what he had done yesterday, he felt great regret that the servants of the family had left him, and now he was the only one left in the house.
When he walked out the door, he found that Ding Long was still cleaning the yard for him, and Carpentier stepped forward and asked, "They are all gone, why are you still here?" Ding Long replied, "Although your temper is not good, you often beat people when you are drunk, but I, as your servant, cannot just leave you because of this, because this will be looked down upon by others in our country." Carpentier was greatly moved when he heard this, and from then on he did not regard Ding Long as a servant.
Later, Ding Long followed Carpentier's side for many years, the relationship between the two was very good, Ding Long often told the story of China in Carpentier's ear, and slowly he had a deep interest in Chinese culture, and later opened a Chinese department in the school he founded, hoping to let more people understand Chinese culture.
