The entire Gallipalan was also a sea of joy. People, as if celebrating a holiday, wore their finest clothes and took to the streets. The plaza was packed with excited crowds.

The spread of these topics made the joyous atmosphere even more exuberant, with everyone’s laughter never ending.
The ceremony to welcome Russell had to be grand. Thus, as the hero in rescuing Russell, Tian Xingjian received excellent treatment and stayed in the Simai Hotel for two full days.
