Chapter 5: Different Differences

"In terms of diet, Russians are also different from Chinese, Russians are a bit like people in northeast China, emphasizing large quantities, affordable, and have unique requirements for food, Russians like to eat salty, sour, Eating pasta-based, fruit after meals is also very interesting, we Chinese, guests come, peel the apples, peel and then hand over, which means considerate, Russians eat apples, he likes to eat with the skin, you just need to wash the apples and put them in front of him, you peel the apples, he is not happy, he feels unaccustomed, feels unclean. ”

"Russian men are very fond of drinking, you think you can make friends by eating and drinking, if you don't understand each other's culture, you really can't make friends, especially when you drink with Russians, and when you are happy, he crackles and smashes things, what do you say is going on?"

"You think he's drunk, but he's not, every time a Russian is happy, they think it's good to break some plates, and he will drink to the point and throw the dishes to express his happiness. ”

"When I first came to Russia, I met a friend, I chatted with him, ate and drank together, the wine was strong, I was a little drunk, the other party suddenly stood up, shouted and smashed the wine glass, startled me, I was defenseless, I didn't know what to do, and later I learned that he drank to the head, too happy, smashing things is an emotional catharsis, and we Chinese expression is different, Chinese are more reserved, restrained, Russians are enthusiastic and unrestrained. ”

Everyone was very happy to hear it, and Qu Lihua asked: "Teacher Su, Russia is a fighting nation, can fight well, Russian men are burly and tall than our Chinese men, does Russia respect gentlemanly demeanor?"

Su Xiaoyu said: "This question is a good question, there is a difference in appearance between Russians and us Chinese, Russians belong to the white race, also known as the Europa race, which is the most populous and widely distributed race in the world. It is mainly distributed in Europe, North Africa, West Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, North America, South America and Oceania. Caucasians are native to Europe, North Africa, West Asia, Central Asia, and South Asia, while Caucasians in the Americas and Oceania are predominantly of European descent. ”

"Russian men are strong and tall, with blue eyes, sunken eye sockets, white skin, large and tall noses, men have well-developed beards and body hair, some men have chest hair, and their legs are relatively long, women are tall, especially young beauties with well-proportioned figures, blonde hair and blue eyes, white skin and beautiful appearance, very beautiful like dolls. ”

"Sometimes there are events in the mall, and those young and beautiful Russian girls stand in a row to endorse the brand, and I stand on the side of the road and look at it for a while, and I think Russian girls are really beautiful. ”

"The Russians are fierce and brave and left a deep impression on us Chinese, Russians are a fighting people, in fact, Russians are not as barbaric as we imagined. They are very civilized, the degree of civilization is very high, there is a great emphasis on gentlemanly demeanor, a Russian man can fight with other men, and the fight is bloody, but a man quarrels with a Russian woman on the street, in the Russian subway, the elevator does not give way to women, he is immediately looked at with great contempt by the people around him, the aristocratic spirit of the Russians, the chivalry is very strong, this is the tradition and concept they inherited from their ancestors and fathers, so the Russians still respect gentlemanly manners, and they are still very polite to women。 ”

"Russian social welfare is good, whether it is a civil servant or a peasant, as long as you are a Russian citizen, you will have public health care. Running water, heating, never charged, Russians don't know what a water meter is. ”

"All Russian students attend school free of charge, textbooks are provided free of charge, and all schools provide a good lunch free of charge. ”

"The most important thing is that Russians can build a villa in any place they want, without planning approval, without having to buy land, paying land premiums and taxes, and building a house for a few dollars. ”

"Russia has few people, suburban villas are not a big deal in the country, the price is very low, the same is true for cars, and the heavy industry is more developed, making it much higher than the Chinese in terms of living and traveling." ”

"But clothing and food closely related to light industry are far from the same, the Chinese advocate the people to eat as the sky, the Chinese are more particular about eating, willing to spend money on food, many of China's commercial street gourmet restaurants are doing very good business at night, Russia imports a large number of Chinese textiles, the proportion of buying high-end products is not much, low-grade products with lower prices are more popular, in addition to very cheap agricultural products in China, the price in Russia is ridiculously expensive, due to its higher latitude, agricultural and sideline products are less varied, and the cost is high, the output is low. ”

"China's urbanization is accelerating, it is very convenient to live in Chinese cities, there are supermarkets at the entrance of residential areas, some convenience stores are open all night, as long as you go downstairs, you can buy anything you want, and Russia is not as good as China in this regard, they live in the suburbs more, every time you go to the supermarket you have to drive for 20 minutes, and even spend more time, every time you go to the supermarket to buy you need to make reserves in advance. ”

"Russia has high taxes, high prices, and the basic consumption of daily life is lower than that of China, and most Russians are not particularly rich in money, but as long as they have a job and are not in a state of long-term unemployment, it will definitely not cause life problems. ”

"Although Russians also need to be careful in life, Russian parents do not need to worry about the cost of their children's education, let alone have no money to send their children to school, because parents not only do not have to pay for their children's education, but each child can also get a monthly government allowance, which increases year by year, and the child can continue to receive it until he reaches adulthood and works on his own. ”

"The Russian economy is developing in general, salaries are not high. Despite this, Russians don't save much money, they like to eat, drink and have fun, and the Chinese like to save money, because our parents' generation has suffered, and now life is better than before, there is a little money in hand, and they dare not use it in a big way, they always want to save some money, for the sake of the family, for the children, worry, our parents' generation is not high, cut down on food and clothing, and do not travel much, a little money, just deposit in the bank, in case of emergency, and like to invest in buying a house, you go to China to take the bus, listen to the conversation of the elderly around you, after three sentences, quickly turned to the topic of buying a house, and the parents gave birth to several siblings, how will the house be divided after the parents are 100 years old?"

"This is a very interesting phenomenon, Chinese is very pragmatic, the house is very important for our Chinese, hard work to save money to buy a house, you can live by yourself, you can leave it to your son to live in the future, you have a son and worry about your son's marriage, you have a daughter to worry about your daughter marrying a man with better economic conditions, Chinese parents have most of their energy into the family, Chinese have a very family concept, and attach great importance to family affection and the relationship between family members. ”
