Chapter 472.
“Is it Cheng Mo-kun?” Morita Hideo opened his arms and walked directly towards Cheng Mo for a big hug.
The fact that two big men embraced each other when they met was evident that the friendship between the two, the teacher and the student, was quite deep.
This was the friendship of the original body.
A moment later, separating, Morita Hideo said with great joy, “When you left a letter and left, I was worried for a long time, I was really afraid that something would happen to you on your way back.”
“I made sensei worry.”
“Please sit down.”
“Dad.” Chiyoko finally caught the opportunity to step forward and bow slightly.
“Ah, Chiyoko, I haven’t seen you in over a year, so let father take a good look.” This is for this daughter who took the liberty and just ran away from home, he also misses her, Chiyoko is his youngest daughter, naturally she is also the most favored in the family.
Morita Hideo had studied in Europe and had an enlightened vision, and although there were some old-school styles, the patriarchal mindset was much smaller compared to many traditional Japanese families.
Chiyoko also has two brothers and an older sister above her. The older sister married young and stayed home to raise her children, and both brothers graduated and joined the workforce, one in a government department and one as a lecturer at a university.
Chiyoko’s mother, on the other hand, was the daughter of a downtrodden samurai family, and was Hideo Morita’s mentor’s sister, and the two were in free love.
Such marriages were not quite so common in Japan.
Morita Hideo had seen the outside world and had a fair degree of egalitarian thinking, and he himself was averse to war and would not allow his offspring to join the military.
Originally, his plan for Chiyoko was to get a job after graduating from university, whether it was a government department or a school or a scientific research organization, and then to find someone of his choice to marry and live a quiet life as a husband and mother.
With his ability as a father, he was completely able to do it.
Unexpectedly, he did not expect that Chiyoko was actually the most quiet but also the most rebellious one among his four children.
She actually chased her way to China for love.
In fact, Cheng Mo this student, he is also a long time to consider before settling down, although he is just a university professor, aversion to war, but also is not unaware of the international political situation, he collected Cheng Mo before, he can see, Japan and China this war is inevitable.
And Cheng Mo’s talent and his patriotic feelings engraved in his bones, as his teacher, how can he not see?
By accepting such a student, in the end, it was very likely that they would turn against each other, and this was something he was not willing to see.
But after thinking about it, he still agreed to take it.
War and hatred was only temporary, what about when this was over or faded? Therefore, he didn’t intentionally water down his academic guidance for Cheng Mo, and was even more severe and harsh than the other students.
Because of this, he had also taken his youngest daughter in, and the more attentive he was to Cheng Mo, the more times Cheng Mo naturally went to his house, and it was only logical to know Chiyoko.
A student of her father’s was instinctively curious and close to a young girl in her prime.
If the war hadn’t broken out, perhaps, he would have been able to leave Cheng Mo behind and marry Chiyoko, and now, everything had changed.
But his daughter didn’t seem to give up, and chased him to China. Love this kind of thing, is not reasonable, young, he and Chiyoko’s mother is the same, fortunately, his parents are more enlightened, did not dislike Chiyoko’s mother’s kind of family, otherwise, his marriage is also a tragedy.
Harmonious and stable family is the cornerstone of his academic achievements today, so having a good family is incredibly important for a man.
He wished that Chiyoko could have such a family and life, but now it seemed that his wish was extravagant, what kind of organization was this embassy or consulate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent abroad, could he not know it after a lifetime of studying political economy?
He did not know how many classmates working in government agencies, involved in the confidentiality of more to go, naturally understand his daughter in the Japanese Embassy and Consulate General in Shanghai work position and nature.
Father and daughter have not seen for a long time, naturally have endless words, but after all, there is still Cheng Mo such an outsider in, Chiyoko just asked her mother and brother and sister’s situation, and then left the time for her father and Cheng Mo, the pair of teachers and students.
Between teacher and student, I’m afraid that they would have more to say, especially since Cheng Mo couldn’t stay for too long.
“Cheng Mo-kun, after you left, that project of yours was suspended, I wanted to find someone to continue it, but I looked at the information and data you left behind, and felt that, if I wanted to do it, I would have to do it all over again, so I simply stopped the project, but I know that, I’m afraid that you don’t have the time to continue this project right now either, hehe… … “Morita Hideo couldn’t help but feel sorry for his excellent Chinese student, he thought Cheng Mo could continue to follow him through his doctorate.
As a result, it was only until the master’s degree that it was terminated.
“The school shouldn’t give me a degree if I haven’t completed my project, right?” Cheng Mo asked, he did not complete his master’s thesis, and with the university’s strictness on degree conferment, it would definitely not open this backdoor for him, even if he was Hideo Morita’s student.
“I insisted, and retained your enrollment, but only for three years, if you can deliver a qualified thesis and participate in the defense within three years, the university can grant you a master’s degree.”
Cheng Mo looked at Chiyoko, why had he not heard Chiyoko mention this matter.
Chiyozi was looked at with a bewildered face, his father hadn’t mentioned this to her, and he also didn’t know that his father had privately left Cheng Mo with such an opportunity.
“Teacher, how can I have time to write a dissertation now, besides it’s been two and a half years now, there’s still half a year to go, how do you expect me to write a qualified graduate student dissertation?”
“I wrote a first draft for you, take a look at it, if you think it’s okay, you revise it on my base draft.” Morita Hideo said.
“Teacher …… “Cheng Mo was shocked, the teacher who was always against academic counterfeiting actually went out of his way to personally write his own thesis for him.
“This is actually a text formed by summarizing on the basis of that investigation report of yours, so it was originally yours, I’m just writing it out for you.” Morita Hideo said, “If you agree, this paper will be published in your name as your graduate thesis.”
“Teacher’s great love, student is mindful of it, can you let me think about it.” Cheng Mo had a hard time deciding for a while.
This generous gift from Hideo Morita, he had absolutely no reason to refuse.
He studied political economy, so naturally, his research topic was related to this, and politics and economy were inseparable.
Cheng Mo’s topic is related to the planned economy, focusing on the political and economic structure of Soviet Russia, Japan and the United States and its comparison.
Two years ago, he was definitely different from what he knows now. Even if Hideo Morita had written such a thesis according to his viewpoints, it would have been completely different from what he thinks now, and he has the actual development experience of the following decades in his mind to verify it, so naturally many of his previous views would have been a bit impractical.
The question was, could these things that belonged to the unforeseen be written? “There’s no rush, you can tell me your decision until I return to Japan.” Morita Hideo laughed, not being the slightest bit dissatisfied with Cheng Mo’s immediate decision.
