Chapter 750: Pride at the level of national culture

Therefore, Professor Lin Linger longs for romantic love, and has a stronger and stronger resistance to arranged marriages, even if he is introduced and marries a professor, his married life is getting worse and worse, and finally the divorce is over.

Compared with the treatment of professors at foreign Chinese universities and Fudan professors, the former may be a little worse, but not too much, so Chen Wen speculated that Teacher Meng's income outside Shanghai should be enough to support a more comfortable life.

So the question is, the formal income has been able to help her run for a well-off, why did she want to toss such a training class so tired that she died?

However, Chen Wen did not raise this issue today, whether it was the occasion or the atmosphere, or even the personal relationship between him and Teacher Meng, it was not close enough, and he was not sure that Teacher Meng would say what was in his heart.

Thinking that he was going abroad in ten days, he didn't know if he would have a chance to ask this question in the future, and he was not sure if Mr. Meng would answer it honestly.

......

Zhang Wanting asked: "Teacher Meng, Teacher Raymond, Chen Wen and I are about to go to Paris, France, what luggage should we bring? Oh, I don't mean those daily necessities or anything, I just want to ask, is there anything special worth bringing?"

When Chen Wen heard Zhang Wanting ask, he also felt the same curiosity. He hadn't been abroad in two lifetimes, and he really didn't know what to bring. At the moment, there are no smartphones, and there is no need to bring a convertible socket to adapt the charger.

Teacher Meng thought for a while and said with a smile: "I suggest that you each bring a set of traditional costumes of our country. ”

Chen Wen and Zhang Wanting asked at the same time: "Traditional costumes?"

Raymond interjected with a smile: "Yes, Teacher Meng's proposal is very right, you had better bring a set of traditional clothes that reflect the cultural characteristics of our country, otherwise you will definitely regret it." ”

Looking at Chen Wen and Zhang Wanting's curious faces, Teacher Meng explained the reason for her suggestion.

Mr. Meng was a public student in 1982, the students at that time were not knowledgeable, and in 81 the international students were still studying abroad, and no one returned to China to tell them about their foreign life experience, so they suffered more in some things.

One of the things that Mr. Meng is still unwilling to do is related to traditional Chinese clothing.

In September 1982, Mr. Meng and his group of 20 people arrived in Paris, France, and went to various universities to start their international student careers.

In the second week of the school year, the international student circles of the universities in Paris launched a networking event in the morning or evening, bringing together students from all over the world to expand their friendship and promote the culture of their respective countries.

An important means of promoting the culture of each country is to display the traditional costumes of each country.

So in these networking activities, those international students who are prepared are in the limelight.

Teacher Meng remembers very deeply that a large number of Japanese students, men and women, wearing their kimonos, stepping on clogs, croaking and croaking, became the protagonists at the party

In addition to Japanese students, students from African countries are also in the limelight, wearing a variety of African costumes, wearing a variety of ornaments and pendants, and they have the opportunity to sell boxes of African ornaments at a high price afterwards.

In addition, a small number of students from South and Southeast Asia also displayed the traditional costumes of their countries, earning a sense of pride on the cultural level of the country.

At those social gatherings, the students in Huaxia were very lonely, and no one brought the traditional costumes of the motherland to study abroad, Hanfu, Tang costumes, Qing robes, nothing.

In front of international students, Chinese students show their daily clothes, men are dark pants + white shirts, and female students are plain dresses. It's the same, and there are no bright spots.

On the one hand, no one taught them in advance, on the one hand, the Chinese students at that time were very poor, and on the third hand, it was difficult for you to buy traditional Chinese clothes in the domestic market.

For the national frustration at the social gathering in September of the first year of studying abroad, Mr. Meng was haunted by his heart.

Then she purchased her own fabrics and sewed a set of women's dresses from the Song Dynasty by herself, just waiting for this kind of friendship to be worn out to show Chinese culture!

But Mr. Meng, who was only 21 years old that year, was too naïve.

For the entire year since, the first-year students have not organized such an event again.

So Teacher Meng held back her strength and wanted to attend the friendship event in September of the following year, wear the Song skirt she made herself, and win glory for Chinese culture!

However, in September of the following year, when this kind of marriage event was held again, Ms. Meng was not qualified to participate. The organizer told Meng Xiang that this kind of activity, which is called "orientation party", is only allowed to participate in first-year international students, and second-year international students like her are not eligible.

22-year-old teacher Meng returned to the dormitory and cried angrily.

At this time, the roommate came up with an idea and suggested that Mr. Meng lend this Song skirt to a female student who came to France to study in 1983, so that she could show off the traditional Chinese costumes.

When Mr. Meng heard it, he had a good idea and immediately agreed.

The Chinese girl who got the Song skirt had just arrived in Paris a few days ago, and she was confused about everything.

Hearing that Japanese kimonos and geta steal the limelight every year at the "Orientation Party", the girl was also very angry.

Knowing that Senior Sister Meng was going to lend her the Song skirt she made herself, the girl happily said that she would never be ashamed of Chinese culture.

Teacher Meng originally thought that her Song skirt could win glory for the country, but it backfired, and she was too naïve again.

The girl was wearing a Song dress lent to her by Senior Sister Meng, and she did become the focus of the international students at the "orientation party". Because in the university they attended, she was the first Chinese student to wear traditional Chinese costumes to participate in the networking activities.

A group of Japanese students were robbed of the limelight by this girl, and they were naturally very happy

was unhappy, so I came to find fault and pick thorns.

It is undeniable that the devils' understanding of Chinese culture is really exquisite!

Several Japanese students in their 20s began to ask girls all kinds of questions related to Song skirts, including the style, grade, taste and so on of clothing.

The girl was caught blind!

This Song skirt was not made by her, it was sewn by Senior Sister Meng, and the girl didn't know the cultural significance contained in this skirt at all.

So she couldn't answer a single question, and she was so embarrassed that she was full of foreign appearances!

Yes, a group of Japanese students have a deep understanding of Chinese culture, but you are an authentic Chinese student who lacks understanding of the traditional costumes of your motherland, which is too embarrassing!

What made all the Chinese students feel even more ashamed was that one of the Japanese students spoke Chinese quite slipperily.

Mr. Meng relayed the original Chinese words of the Japanese student: "You Chinese people have destroyed and abandoned your traditional culture in the past two ten years, and one day in the future, you are welcome to come to Japan to study, and you will learn back the cultures you have stored in our country, and we, as the masters, will treat you warmly." ”

Ms. Meng herself did not attend the party, which was told to her by other Chinese students.

Another year passed, and in July 1984, Mr. Meng and some international students completed their studies and returned to China. I did not have the opportunity to participate in the "orientation party" in September 1984, and I do not know how the Chinese students performed at this kind of social gathering later.

Teacher Meng guessed that most of them were Japanese singing the leading role, and Chinese students couldn't get a bargain.

In the two years she studied abroad, the organizers of the two "orientation parties" had Japanese student activists, and she realized that the traditional cultural battles at the international student level had been planned and effectively implemented by the devils for a long time, so Chinese students basically suffered losses.

After listening to Mr. Meng's story, the atmosphere at the dinner table immediately became very depressing.

Chen Wen and Zhang Wanting both felt very uncomfortable.

Perhaps because he felt that his narration had ruined the atmosphere, Mr. Meng said an interesting story.

In the two years of studying abroad she experienced, it was not only Chinese students who participated in the "orientation party" but suffered grievances, but also Yankees as companions.

White Americans don't have traditional dress, and it's impossible for those white students to dress up as Indians. So they wore jeans and floral shirts to the social event.

Teacher Meng said that the Yankees have a good mentality, knowing that they don't have traditional clothes, so they don't bother with this concept, and they talk and laugh at social activities, relying on the backing of a strong country, and no Japanese students dare to provoke them.

After listening to Teacher Meng's narration, Zhang Wanting immediately said: "Chen Wen, we must bring traditional Chinese costumes to study abroad, even if we only wear them once, we can't lose the prestige of our country!"
