Text EP325. Old dormitory building

In order to better visit the major attractions in the capital, and also want to experience more authentic Chinese customs, when booking a hotel online, Shi Xiaolei specifically chose the Tianjing Hotel on East Chang'an Street instead of the Jianguomen Hotel. The China World Hotel on the outer street is considered by many to be the best.

Speaking of which, when Stark paid for the order, he complained, "Why don't you choose the best one when you don't have to pay for it? You don't even know how to take advantage."

Regarding the complaints from his friends, Shi Xiaolei’s answer was...

You know a der.

The facilities may not be as good as the China World Hotel, but when it comes to history, the Tianjing Hotel is a serious century-old hotel.

As early as 1900, before World War I broke out, two Frenchmen opened a bistro to the east of the foreign barracks in Dongjiaomin Lane. They moved to the north of the barracks the next year and officially hung up the signboard of 'Tianjing Hotel' .

In 1903, the hotel moved to the south entrance of Wangfujing on East Chang'an Street, which is the current location of the hotel.

In 1907, the Sino-French Industrial Bank took over the Tianjing Hotel and changed it into a limited company. The period of French operation was the initial glorious period of the Tianjing Hotel. Both the architectural style and the internal facilities were second to none in the capital.

Later, with the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Tianjing Hotel was taken over and managed by the Peiping Government of the Kuomintang Party, and for a time it became a high-end guest house dedicated to hosting US troops.

It wasn't until the liberation of Peiping in 1949 that the fate of Tianjing Hotel took another turn. At that time, Tianjing Hotel, which was affiliated to the State Council's Institutional Affairs Bureau, had an orderly history, high-end and upscale conditions, and was affiliated with the government. The position has become an important place for China’s state affairs and foreign affairs reception.

At that time, Tianjing Hotel was not only famous in business circles, but also gained a high political status.

Later, in 1954 and 1974, thanks to the kind care of the Prime Minister, Tianjing Hotel underwent two expansions, and once became a modern and international landmark building in the capital.

To this day, it remains the preferred venue for important state events and meetings. For example, in September 2000, the Sixth World Cities Summit was held in the Grand Ballroom of Tianjing Hotel. Soon, guests attending the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation were welcomed here. In 2001, the first APEC High-Level Litigation Conference was also held in the grand banquet hall of Tianjing Hotel.

Carrying the dual mission of hotel functionality and special political identity, it also witnesses the changes of the times. I have looked at the five-star restaurants in the capital several times, and the ones like Tianjing Hotel that can win such an honor... I dare not say that there are none, but they are definitely not more than three fingers.

Chinese people who live in China and enjoy peace and tranquility every day may not feel that it is so special, but for compatriots living abroad, Tianjing Hotel with such a background has a different meaning... rare After coming to the capital once, there happened to be a good opportunity to have a room available. From Shi Xiaolei's point of view, how could he miss the opportunity and not come here to check in?

What's more, Tianjing Hotel is right on East Chang'an Street. From here, you can walk for five minutes to reach the heart of the motherland that all Chinese people identify with from the bottom of their souls...

That's right, whether it's the Forbidden City of the old imperial palace, or the Tianzinmen, the main building of the current National Day military parade, or the Great Hall, the National Grand Theater and other historical and cultural attractions, including the famous Wangfujing Commercial Street, where Shi Xiaolei and others settled The Tianjing Hotel is only a stone's throw away and can be reached on foot.

It's just a little far away from the destination of this trip...

Qinghua University is located at the northwest corner of the Fourth Ring Road. From the Tianjing Hotel on the southeast corner of the First Ring Road, even if you don't take a detour and just take the straight and horizontal road, it will be about 17 or 18 kilometers.

Let's say at least half an hour. If you are unlucky and encounter a peak period with heavy traffic, it is possible to spend an hour on the road.

Fortunately, Stark paid for the hotel reservation.

As he said before, "Don't be afraid of spending money, do everything for the best." After receiving a call from Shi Xiaolei, the hotel sent a Cullinan... Walking in the traffic, there was no sign of confusion. The iron dared to stop at random, and we happened to miss the midday rush hour, so the road was quite smooth along the way.

Setting off at about half past one, and a little after two o'clock, Shi Xiaolei and Yixian arrived at Qinghua University, which is located next to the Old Summer Palace.

After completing the visitor registration at the southwest gate and getting a temporary access permit, Shi Xiaolei followed the instructions on the map navigation and drove the car, passing Qinghua Primary School, Puji Courtyard, Xinlin Courtyard... I was still unfamiliar with it after all. After a slight detour, I finally found Shoin-in Temple located next to Sholan-in Temple.

It has to be said that Qinghua is Qinghua. Even the family home for faculty and staff has a scholarly and elegant name.

"This is it." He stopped the car on the road and glanced at the small building on the other side of the green belt. Shi Xiaolei turned around and asked Yixian again: "What is the number of Teacher Chang's house?"

"Unit 2, Building 7, the one on the west side on the fourth floor."

I put my head in front of the navigator and swiped my fingers on the screen twice to expand the current map several times... I found that the path leading to Building 7 was a bit narrow, and I was worried that there would be no place to park and it would be difficult to turn around after driving in. Come out, so Shi Xiaolei had to find a place to park the car on the other side of the road, and was mentally prepared to 'spend a little more effort'.

Fortunately, I was careful when I came out and asked the waiter who helped move the boxes to leave the folding trolley he brought. Otherwise, only two people would be able to move three such large boxes at one time. It's really a bit troublesome.

"Okay, Yixian, lead the way." After tying the box with a rope, Shi Xiaolei raised his head and smiled at Yixian, who was holding the box.

"Um."

The weather was a bit gloomy, there were no old people sitting outside basking in the sun, and the trees on both sides of the alley had lost all their leaves.

Look at the small buildings on both sides...

Shi Xiaolei's eyes showed a hint of confusion.

This is one of the top universities in the country. Why are the dormitories allocated to faculty and staff on campus so old? Even if it can't be luxurious and classy, ​​it should at least be bright and clear with a sense of vitality, right? Why does it look so dusty, like a tube building that hasn't been maintained for several years?

Moreover, with Teacher Chang's status, not only living in a villa, but at least in a duplex apartment, right?

You know, she is one of the few experts on ancient architecture in the country... Even if she has not yet been awarded the title of academician, in terms of professional standards, there is really not much difference between her and the great masters who hold the title of academician.

The more I thought about it, the less I understood. Suddenly, the two of them had arrived at the corridor entrance of Unit 2 of Building 7.
