Chapter 225: The Current Situation of Overseas Chinese
This newspaper turned out to be the Washington Post, which is the most mainstream newspaper in the United States, and the date before yesterday, this kind of newspaper is only available in some specific departments of the country, and is used to understand the movements of the United States and formulate relevant countermeasures for the leaders.
There was a section in the newspapers about the upcoming Olympics and why the United States was expected to win more than fifty gold medals because of the Soviet Union's absence.
But more often than not, it was political, such as criticizing China's policies toward China, saying that he had shown favor to China, and urging the government to be tougher on the Soviet Union and to teach it a lesson.............
These news are all things that Liu Lang knows, this president has a great reputation in American history, and his century scam "Star Wars" plan indirectly made the Soviet Union, a big country, history, but this matter will have to wait for a few years, and if Liu Lang is okay at that time, maybe he can also take advantage of it, maybe ..........
"The security of Americans is not very good!"
Liu Lang saw a lot of criticism in the newspapers about law and order, criticizing the government's disregard for security, which could have had an impact on the Olympics.
"Oh, you seem to be able to read English!"
Moran laughed.
"My English level is second only to Chinese, but Sister Mo, you grew up and lived abroad, and you speak Chinese very well!"
.........However, the United States does not speak English as you think, it is a multiracial country, I grew up in Chinatown, surrounded by Chinese, and there is no problem in speaking Chinese. ”
Moran replied.
"That's right, Chinatown is all Chinese, many of their ancestors were railroad workers, who contributed their lives to the prosperity of the United States, and some even gave their lives, but the United States is a predominantly white country, and it is very unfriendly to us Chinese, I remember that they also formulated a Chinese exclusion bill to suppress us everywhere, what a group of nasty guys. ”
Liu Lang is very clear about this period of history, and in the 21st century, the descendants of those Chinese laborers also launched root-seeking activities and made the deeds of their ancestors public, which caused a huge sensation in the world, but now, many of the deeds of those people are not known to outsiders.
"What? Do you know anything about the Chinese Anti-Chinese Act?"
Moran was taken aback.
"Such a big thing is recorded in the book, of course I know!"
"You little child knows more things than those eighty or ninety years old, no wonder even the old people think so highly of you. ”
"Sister Mo, Brother Xiaohu said that you are from Hongmen, what is this Hongmen like?"
Liu Lang was very interested in the legendary Hongmen.
"Hehe, what do you think Hongmen should look like?"
Moran asked rhetorically.
"How do I know? It must be some kind of organization, right?"
"Speaking of Hongmen, the history is a long time, at least hundreds of years of history, but overseas, Hongmen is not an organization, just a way for us Chinese to help each other, as you said, white Americans are very xenophobic, not only discriminatory against us Chinese, but also unfriendly to other races, for example, black people are also like this, we Chinese want to gain a foothold in the United States, we must unite, and Hongmen provides a way for us Chinese. ”
Moran explained briefly.
"If you want to gain a foothold in the United States, unity is one thing, but the more important thing is to increase your own strength, to keep getting stronger, if you reach the level of being able to affect the American economy, naturally no one dares to underestimate us!"
"Liu Lang, what you said is right, many people envy those Chinese people who go abroad, thinking that they have gone to heaven, but in fact they are not.
Chinese Americans, although they have worked hard for so many years, they still can't integrate into the upper class of society, and the reason is because our country is not strong, and if the country is not strong, we will not have the confidence to be bullied, and we will be bullied, not only by whites, but also by blacks.
In Liu Lang's view, Moran's opinion is correct, but it is not comprehensive, the Chinese need not only the strength of the country, but also their own efforts.
Americans are white in the world, not to mention now, even twenty or thirty years later, although they preach equality everywhere, but Asian, African and Latino people still have unequal treatment in many aspects, but more than 30 years later, the United States has an African-American president, which has raised the status of blacks a lot, but in the bones, whites still have a deep contempt for people of other races.
The Chinese are the most diligent race in the world, and they are also the race with the highest IQ, and the treatment of such an excellent race in the United States is not as high as that of blacks, which makes Liu Lang a little incomprehensible, of course, Liu Lang does not discriminate against blacks, but the fact is that in terms of education, blacks are generally inferior to Chinese.
This may be related to the education received by the Chinese, the Chinese culture pays attention to introverted, subtle and humble, and rarely takes the initiative to argue with others, but the black people are different, the historical Martin King fought fiercely with the white people for the rights of the blacks, and because of the simple things considered, the blacks are easier to hug together, which is not comparable to the Chinese, the blacks have become presidents, and the Chinese are only a minister, which is the difference.
But then again, the rights you have are fundamentally determined by your own strength, and the Chinese are really not doing well in this regard.
"After so many years, do we Chinese have any industries that we Chinese can handle?
Liu Lang asked.
"Factory?hehe, our overseas Chinese are not capable of doing these jobs, and more Chinese still rely on opening restaurants to build hotels, after all, the food we Chinese is unparalleled in the world, and even many Americans admire it. ”
"How can this work? Industry is fundamental, you look at those white people, oil tycoons, steel tycoons, rely on these to make others respect you, just cooking, that's useless!"
Liu Lang pursed his lips.
"You little guy is saying a good thing, we want to do these things, but the white people won't even give you a chance, what are you going to do? You don't have a backache when you sit and talk. ”
Moran replied with a smile.
"That'...... What about the high-tech industry? For example, are there any Chinese companies in Silicon Valley?"
The future is a high-tech era, and any steel and oil will gradually weaken.
"Computer? What's that?"
Moran was confused.
"Oh, nothing, nothing!
Liu Lang waved his hand.
"You little kid, no one knows what's in your head!"
Just a short conversation, Mo Lan also noticed the "mysterious" feeling in Liu Lang, he knew about domestic things, he seemed to know about foreign things, and he didn't know where he learned about this knowledge.
