Siheyuan: a Twelve-Year-Old Translator Joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

In 1953, 12-year-old Fang Qingyun traveled to the world of courtyard houses and became the eldest son in a family of welders in a steel rolling mill. His family is not rich, but he has parents, younger brothers and younger sisters who love him. Rather than fighting with everyone in the courtyard, he wants to change the fate of his family first. After traveling through time, his strength far exceeds that of his peers, and his brain seems to have been strengthened to the point where he can almost have a photographic memory. Fang Qingyun started with Russian textbooks, taught himself the language, and inquired about the translation certificate exam, preparing to rely on knowledge to truly go out. He took the exam at the age of twelve, translated for Soviet experts, completed high school courses in advance, and then chose Beijing Foreign Studies University for further study. His life gradually left the small courtyard. While others were still staring at a room in the courtyard, Fang Qingyun had already set his sights on diplomacy and the larger world.
