"Do you want to stay in the United States and get a green card?" King Peter mercilessly struck Xu Tianming's naïve thoughts: "Do you think that the green card in the United States is the household registration of your village? Do you know how many foreigners come to the United States every year?"

Xu Tianming shook his head.

"Hmph. Let me tell you, there are a lot of old Mexicans (Mexicans) from South America. All of them are in the United States, and some of them stay for more than ten years, and they live like rats as black workers. If you are caught by the immigration department, you will be thrown into jail and then deported. Everything you work hard in the U.S. will come to naught. ”

"That'...... They're still running all the way to the United States?"

"Hehe, they came to the United States for the same reason as you. What did you come to the U.S. for?"

"Not to be poor. My family is too poor, no, I should say that China is too poor. The exchange of dollars and renminbi at a ratio of one to eight (in the nineties), our per capita income was less than a hundred dollars a month. I went to the mall in New York, and there were a lot of things on sale. Americans have color TVs in every household, and almost every home has a car. What does China have? In my small mountain village, there is only one television set in the whole village. I went to school in Shuangqing, one of the most developed cities in our northwest region, but many of my classmates did not have a color TV at home, or there was no cable TV installed at home, so they could only watch a few TV channels. Did you know when I first came to the U.S. and saw hundreds of TV channels on TV, and I was crazy. Comparing the gap between China and the United States, Xu Tianming couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

"China is really poor, too poor. There are still many places where there are no roads or roads. The roads in our village and town can only be walked by climbing mountains (nineties). There is no way out in China. You see, a Santana sells for 230,000 yuan in China. And even if you graduate from college in China, the salary is one or two thousand yuan at most, which is still very good for high-achieving students who graduated from universities. If they want to buy a Santana, they have to work without eating or drinking for ten or twenty years before they can afford it. And in the United States, it costs just over $10,000 to buy a General Motors car. Working here earns $2,000 a month, and the average person can afford a car a year. ”

"Not to mention buying clothes and eating. Look at what Americans are wearing, and what we are wearing in China. Hey......"

Xu Tianming shook his head: "I don't want to go back, Chinese want to reach the current standard of living in the United States for at least fifty years." I don't want to live like this in 50 years. So I'm going to get down in the U.S. and make enough money. Become a superior person and be the envy of your classmates and friends in China. ”

Xu Tianming did not hide his vanity: "Those children in big cities don't know what life is called hardship, but I know it. I also opened my eyes to the world, and I can't be a frog at the bottom of a well like them, and many of them probably haven't even been on the World Wide Web. I'm still immersed in China's powerful illusory news reported by the news network. I see the gap, I can't change it, and I don't want to change it. I just want to be good for myself. ”

King Peter looked at Xu Tianming, and when he saw that Xu Tianming was starting to get a little hairy, he suddenly smiled: "Hahaha! I like your attitude of directly facing your own desires." Much more interesting than those fake guys. What has the country done for you? People, you have to live for yourself!"

"Yes!" Xu Tianming very much agreed with King Peter's words.

"If you want to stay in the United States, you have to make your own contribution...... "King Peter also seems to appreciate Xu Tianming's attitude. He was about to have a deep chat with Xu Tianming when a voice suddenly interjected, interrupting the conversation between the two of them.

"King Peter, you guy is preaching your theory that serving the country is useless again? I said that you are an American, pretending to be Chinese? What choice do Chinese have, mind your." Don't think that you are Chinese if you have a yellow skin and can speak Chinese. Go home and take a good look in the mirror, your own internal organs, your heart is white. Don't mess around with this, look like you're good for others. I'm sick to watch, you'd better get out of here!"

The owner of the voice was an ordinary-looking young man, a classmate of King Peter and Xu Tianming, who was also a student of this school. Song Tianming, who studied physical engineering.

Song Tianming is an outstanding figure in the school. Among the international students in the 90s, many Chinese or many Asians maintained their humble traditions, which did not necessarily make Europeans and Americans feel praiseworthy, but many people felt that it was a disease. Therefore, even if most Asian students have good academic performance, they are still marginal figures in European and American schools, and they are not brought to play together.

Song Tianming is different, born in the northeast and raised in Beijing, he has dealt with all kinds of foreigners since he was a child. At first, the family used potatoes to exchange planes with the former Soviet Union in the northeast, and even high-ranking officials came to their house when they came back with two big bombers.

Later, he moved to Beijing and lived in a community not far from the embassy district. I often come and go to see foreigners from all over the world. I've seen a lot of it, and sometimes I even think that those foreigners are stupid.

Therefore, Song Tianming knew how to deal with Europeans and Americans at a very young age, and it was good to express his demands with a calm mind, and the more he tolerated many things, the worse it was. Song Tianming's personality makes him very comfortable in European and American schools, excellent in learning, strong organizational skills, first-class communication skills, and good guitar playing. So this man, who obviously doesn't look good in Chinese, is very popular, and many European and American girls actually like him very much.

The last thing Song Tianming wants to see in school is King Peter.

"You banana man, you haven't thought of yourself as a Chinese, what kind of garlic does narcissus not bloom." Don't pretend to be nice to others. And you, what is your name Xu Tianming. Let me tell you, don't look down on China. You guy is just short-sighted, and China is now worse than the United States. But where will it take 50 years for China to catch up with the current level of the United States? I can say that in another 10 years, China will be able to basically reach the current level of the United States, and in another 25 years, China will be able to basically catch up with the standard of living in the United States, and even if there is a difference, it will not be very different. And even surpass the United States in some ways. ”

Xu Tianming and King Peter both looked at Song Tianming with the appearance of looking at fools: "Are you dreaming?"

"Catching up with the United States? What are you kidding? Impossible. ”

"Eh, forget about this banana man. Are you not Chinese? You are so unambitious for your country?"

"It's not that I'm not ambitious, it's that I can see the reality clearly. ”

"Can you see the reality clearly? Hehe, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. ”

————————————

Yes, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. Sometimes it doesn't even take 30 years......

If there is anything in this world that hurts people the most, it is that being slapped in the face by the flag set up by yourself is definitely the most uncomfortable. Just like Xu Tianming and King Peter, when they see China and the United States now, their faces are full of hot pain.

And it is precisely because of this that they need to do more to prove that they are not wrong in the first place.

For example, bring down the hive......

For example, let the old classmate Song Tianming make a fool......
