Sometimes, this curiosity is the most annoying. If you are curious about customs and habits, then it is nothing, but if you are curious about politics, religion, civilization, and so on, mixed with the superiority of the West, it is very disgusting.

However, this was a general trend of thought in the world at that time, and it seemed that both the pride of the mainstream of Europe and the United States and the West, as well as the general inferiority complex of the East, seemed to be taken for granted. Even in the new century, look at the five cents and five cents torn up on the forum, sometimes for a big topic, can you fight a skyscraper?

Obviously, there is a kind of blind worship or inferiority complex in it. Even if the extreme emperor is angry, this is not criticism, and I always feel that it is also an inferiority complex in essence. The real strength of the heart should be to do wrong, admit the mistake calmly, and be almost brave in shame; or if you have not done a mistake, you will change it, and if you don't, you will be encouraged! Or you would simply rather be responsible for the people of the world than the people of the world should bear me. Like the eagle sauce at the turn of the century. If you want to blow up the embassy, you can blow it up, and you can destroy a country by taking out a bottle of laundry detergent. That's also a kind of bovine X.

Jing Jian didn't like this kind of verbal dispute, but he also didn't like this kind of domineering. However, Warkeland was still unamused, and continued to ask: "Bramble, I think it is human nature to yearn for freedom, for example, we can openly criticize the government, and you should avoid talking about such topics. This is actually a kind of repression of human nature. ”

Jing Jian had a bit of a headache, why did this Westerner go online? Glancing at Zhao Xia beside her, she was also confused, and it was estimated that like many international students at that time, she faced a huge gap between the East and the West, and her outlook on life suffered a huge impact. It's nothing more than that it has been an escape before.

In desperation, Jing Jian continued to pretend to be stupid: "Martha and I didn't feel depressed?"

"Do you have freedom of religion, and does your government oppress the congregants?"

Jing Jian felt that he couldn't go on like this, so he decided to turn defense into offense, and gave these people a good recitation of the core values: "I think there seems to be some misunderstanding here. Sorry, actually I don't want to use the word bias. I have always found that there is a lot of rumors and curiosity in Chinese propaganda and media coverage. For example, in the question I just asked, is it possible to freely proselytize and believe in religion in China? But the tradition of our country, religion must be under the control and management of the government, and if some people think that this is oppression, it is also helpless. Note that this is a Chinese tradition, not because of any doctrine. In the feudal dynasties more than a thousand years ago, there were already such administrative institutions. ”

"Yes, why?" Dalina asked curiously.

Jing Jian smiled at her: "The issue of clerical power and political power is a big issue. I'm not an expert and probably can't answer well. But the core of it -- is the doctrine great, or is the law of the country great? For example, if the law of the country conflicts with a certain doctrine, do you love the country, or do you overthrow the state power for the sake of your own beliefs?"

Professor Chuckley had been listening with relish, and when he heard this, he smiled and nodded: "Render to God what is God's, and Caesar's to Caesar's." He answered this question using quotes from the Bible.

Jing Jian said with a smile: "Actually, this is a big problem that puzzles the wise men of the East and the West. However, the Vatican, who is familiar with Western history, has launched one religious war after another for its own rights, but why is it nothing more than a struggle for power between the Holy See and the king. ”

In Chinese history, more than 1,500 years ago, from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, there was a peasant uprising launched by Taoists, which ended in the destruction of a powerful dynasty and led to war for hundreds of years. Not to mention the cause process, in the end, in order to suppress it, even extreme measures such as Jingguan were adopted. ”

Jing Jian's "Jingguan" is a transliteration. So he explained: "Jingguan is to collect the enemy's heads together and pile them into a hill as a kind of show-off and deterrence. It's brutal, but it's also effective at times. However, such religious wars were extremely harmful to the country, so from then on, successive Chinese governments had to manage and control religion. ”

"There are many more such examples. Since China has a history of several thousand years, it is basically a unified country, and it has encountered many problems in ruling the country. Moreover, China has always had the habit of recording history in detail, starting from every literate child, and there is also the habit of learning history. Why? When you encounter a similar problem, you can easily find the answer from history. ”

"It turned out to be an empirical science. Professor Chuckley nodded, understanding what Jing Jian meant.

"Yes, Professor. Unconsciously, Jing Jian left no trace crooked, "We learn chemistry, we can easily repeat trial and error. However, in the social sciences, if a conjecture is put forward, how can it be proved to be wrong? Is it allowed to be experimented with by the whole country and nation? If it is wrong in the end, it will be completely social turmoil, the people's livelihood will be miserable, and in serious cases, the country will even be destroyed. So what to do? We can only learn from history. For example, when the sun never sets, if Britain could learn from the historical experience of China's great unification, and did not adopt the very backward colonial management model that China had abandoned more than 2,000 years ago, could it have lost almost all of its colonies in the end? Perhaps, there would have been no war of independence at all, and there would have been no United States. ”

The Warkelan students were stunned, and Professor Chuckley stopped the off-topic in time: "Bramble, it's good to hear your fresh perspective. However, as your supervisor, you need to choose the research direction for you. Judging by your college courses, you are good at ......"

......

Although becoming a graduate student of Professor Chuckley seems to be a bit suspicious of opening a back door, Professor Chuckley's attitude is still quite serious. Finally, at the tea party, Jing Jian's research direction was determined.

When he left, Jing Jian was still worried about those heavy courses. However, Zhao Xia was still very confused: "Little baby, we ...... Is our country really that bad?"

Jing Jian was happy, what is there to worry about this problem? "Xia, there is no gap, do you need us to study abroad?" Besides, the male protagonist is outside, the female protagonist is inside, how to spend money on firewood, rice, oil and salt, you can take care of it. I'm going to worry about national affairs. ”

Zhao Xia smiled: "It's like you're qualified to worry about national affairs." Eh, since I'm the housekeeper, I'll hand over all the money and give you $100 a week in pocket money. If it's not enough, just ask me. ”

"Huh. "It seems to be a cocoon?
