Siheyuan: At Twelve, I Became a Translator at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

In 1953, twelve-year-old Fang Qingyun transmigrated into the world of the courtyard houses, becoming the eldest son of a welder's family at a steel mill.

His family wasn't wealthy, but he had loving parents, a younger brother, and a younger sister. Rather than get caught up in feuds with the other residents of the courtyard, he wanted to change his family's fate first.

After transmigrating, he was far stronger than other children his age, and his brain seemed enhanced too. He could practically memorize anything at a glance.

Fang Qingyun started with Russian textbooks, teaching himself the language and asking around about the translator certification exam. He planned to use his knowledge to make his way out into the world.

He earned his certificate at twelve, interpreted for Soviet experts, finished high school early, then went on to study at Beijing Foreign Studies University. Gradually, his life took him far beyond the little courtyard house.

While others were still fixated on getting a room in the courtyard, Fang Qingyun had set his sights on diplomacy and a much bigger world.
