Chapter Thirty-Six: Worship the Foreign

In the silent office, a noisy voice came from outside the door, masking the sound of the wall clock, Shen Tiejun didn't know what he thought, and his face showed disdain: "Director Chen, I listen to the tone of your words, this admiration is derogatory?"

As if hearing some joke, Director Chen smiled, his face full of curiosity: "Heh, Chongyang is flattering, when is it a compliment?"

"It's a derogatory term in the literal sense of the word. ”

Nodding, Shen Tiejun paused, and continued: "It is a kind of reverse racism that does not see the pros and cons brought about by the cultural differences of various countries, selectively ignores the disadvantages of other countries according to their own shortcomings or preferences, engages in double standards inside and outside, and describes people as having no national self-esteem. But do you know when it's used the most?"

The small eyes lit up, and Director Chen suddenly became interested: "When is it?"

She's ready, and if this kid associates the word with sports, then it will be easy.

Unaware, Shen Tiejun continued: "It was the late Qing Dynasty that was accused by countless revolutionary martyrs, who did not have any national self-esteem, and blindly curryed favor with foreign devils, foreign adults and foreign fathers, but this has historical origins.

In the era when the winner is king and the strong are respected, fists are the biggest capital, and Britain can dump large pieces of money on the Qing Dynasty with strong ships and cannons. But earlier, when the Black Boat Incident broke the lockdown of RB, the Qing Dynasty and RB went to two extremes. ”

Director Chen was a little confused, aren't we discussing the admiration of foreign countries? How do you talk about history?

Facing Director Chen's puzzled eyes, Shen Tiejun spread his hands: "This is because of the consequences of the history of the two countries, not to mention the Qing Dynasty, it is a foreign invader itself, and it would rather be a slave with a friendly country." And RB, although this country is weak, but their spirit of learning from the strong is worthy of any country's consideration, they learn from the dynasties before the republic, and even their writing is created with radicals of Chinese characters.

But why did the RB in the First Sino-Japanese Naval War find teeth all over the land of the Manchu Qing and pay tens of thousands of taels of silver for the land cut? If it were not for the ulterior motives of the foreign powers, even the land would have been carved off. The two countries in this incident use their strength and weakness to interpret the two different definitions of worshipping foreign countries. ”

Director Chen frowned slightly: "Now the Republic is not the late Qing Dynasty!"

"Hehe, I look like the RB in the Black Ship Incident!"

Shen Tiejun scolded in his heart, this girl is ruthless enough, no matter how she picks up her words, she will jump into the pit, fortunately she is soaked in the Yangwai Library during this time, and it is located next to Hong Kong Island, so you can listen to a lot of information every day: "I heard the data a few days ago, I don't know what it means, saying that last year, the republic, which accounted for a quarter of the world's population, created only 2.5% of the world's gross domestic product, and the total export trade accounted for only 0.75% of the world's. I don't know what you mean by that?"

In the blink of an eye, Director Chen looked at the secretary next to him, found that he was also full of question marks, and shook his head: "What does this have to do with Chongyang's flattery?"

"So I was thinking, that teacher, who I don't know who, actually gave me this conclusion?!"

Shen Tiejun's face was full of depression, and he continued to speak: "Isn't this a messy hat? What is the difference between it and those in the movement in previous years? The four modernizations are the modernization of science and technology, and Germany has already thrown away lead printing and started to use a computer typesetting system for printing. In the United Kingdom, the first test-tube baby is about to be born, the first mobile phone system has also appeared, and the TV penetration rate in developed countries is more than half.

Director Chen, do you have a TV at home? Don't you want to have a washing machine, a camera, and a car of your own? In the Republic, bicycles need to be purchased with tickets, and sewing machines and televisions are the most basic household machinery, and they must be planned and supplied!

Do you know why the republic has sent so many economic teams? I just said that the purpose of learning English was to say that I admired foreign countries, so what are these people who go to foreign countries to study and learn scriptures?

With a trembling breath, Director Chen got up and looked at Director Wu next to him, nodded and said, "Director Wu, then let's go here, I have to drive back." ”

Wu Changshun nodded silently, stood up and looked at Professor Lan, and said with a smile on his face: "Old Lan, I'm really sorry to trouble you this time." ”

Unpleasant, Professor Lan didn't raise his buttocks, sat at the table and nodded: "Hmm!"

"Humph!"

Director Chen glanced at Shen Tiejun and left with his secretary first, Wu Changshun came to his side, looked at it carefully, and followed him out of the office with a smile.

"Damn, you deserve to be an official!"

Shen Tiejun looked at the figure in the distance and scolded, and turned his face unkindly: "Dare to dig a pit for me!"

"Okay, your ability to dig pits is not small, dare to compare yourself with the economic group, I think you kid, I don't know what your surname is soon!"

Li Guiju watched the figure disappear outside, and patted him on the shoulder: "Your meal hasn't finished yet, hurry back and eat." ”

Taking off his glasses, Professor Lan raised his chin and said, "Eavesdropping in the future, don't be so open-minded, you haven't been here for a long time, you are not slow to learn this bad problem." ”

"Okay, good, I'll pay attention!"

Shen Tiejun smiled and left, Professor Lan was talking about him eavesdropping on the radio over there, and the economic leading group visited Huluo at the beginning of the year, and the domestic media didn't even mention it.

But what is the state of the sea, coupled with these overseas visits, including the designer, have not been hidden, and the visit situation is being investigated in a bright and bright way, and the inspection also has a strong purpose, that is, economic construction.

Poured a glass of water and put it in front of Professor Lan, Li Guiju looked worried: "This kid is not light or heavy, will he-"

"No, how old is he?"

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of water, Professor Lan said with a smile: "I didn't expect that my mouth is not bad, and I won't be able to suffer a big loss in the future, but I want to let go of this proposal, don't cause their resentment." ”

The mouth is happy, Shen Tie is worried, no one knows whether this Director Chen and Director Wu are big hearts, in the era when mathematics, physics and chemistry are kings, he applied for a major or liberal arts, and after a few days, he didn't expect this, as if it didn't happen.

The weather gradually turned cooler, Shen Tiejun's graduate school life officially began, and when he heard that his second foreign language was Japanese, Professor Lan didn't say anything, but a few days later, he gave him a set of Japanese self-study textbooks in traditional characters, and the relationship between the teacher and the student became more and more tacit.

Within a few days of the graduate course, Shen Tiejun was arranged by Li Guiju to substitute teach freshmen, and the main content of the lecture was oral pronunciation, and it was only then that he understood that the vast majority of these students who were admitted to the English major were dumb English.

The introduction to English is simple and simple, and it is difficult to say, simple is to say rote memorization, rote memorization that is not fatal, and the difficult thing is to open your mouth, especially the first time you open it, or in front of the whole class, you can usually speak freely in no one's place, but at this time it has become a stumble, and the tongue in your mouth seems to be useless.

Shen Tiejun was a little big-headed, remembering the cram school he had attended in his previous life, and slapped the table: "So, come one by one, introduce yourself in English, just like you introduced yourself for the first time, come in English!"

In the English class, there was a little commotion among the thirty or forty people, and some sophomores who took a second foreign language had green faces, and Shen Tiejun was holding the handout, which was done by Li Guiju, that is, he asked him to speak on his behalf: "Start from the leftmost ones in the first row, one by one." ”

After arranging the task, Shen Tiejun took the handouts and the list to the last row, put them on the table, and did not raise his head: "Who is the leftmost person in the first row?

β€œchujun!”

When English speaks Chinese characters, there is no tone, Shen Tiejun quickly found it on the roster, at this time, the English major is not comparable to decades later, except for professional courses, there is no other, not even advanced mathematics, Chinese or something, plus politics, is the main course of these freshmen, completely liberal arts specialization.

In the sophomore year, there will be one more second foreign language, there are not many courses, and the task is still very heavy.

There are few courses, heavy tasks, and more than half of them can't raise their heads after class, it's too bad, Shen Tiejun came to the stage to summarize and encourage, and the assigned homework is to do it again tomorrow.

For three days in a row, the daily homework was this, and it was finally passed from beginning to end, as for some things copied on the back of the fingers in the palms of the hands, Shen Tiejun didn't see it.

When the study officially began, the study system was formulated, and the work and rest time was from 6 o'clock in the morning to 10 o'clock in the evening, beyond this point, all the lights except for the bathroom were cut off, and the road in the corridor was dark.

There are countermeasures under the policy, and within two days someone bought candles from outside the school, and the school that was exploited was a little annoyed, the purpose of the power outage is to let people combine work and rest, study hard when studying, and rest well when resting, but you study hard in the middle of the night, which is worthy of praise but not worth advocating, so there is a teacher who proposes to check.

The results of the inspection were not obvious, and the students were also protesting to the school, and there was a letter sent to the Education Bureau to report the situation, until someone fell asleep reading a book in the boys' dormitory of the French department, and the candles lit the books and caught fire.

Even with it, those who have cigarettes on their bodies are unlucky, and Liu Zhuzi looks loveless.

The only thing that displeased Shen Tiejun was that there was a tendency to give him the first-year English class in the law, and this nickname was still obtained from Xuan Wen from the French Department, and he remembered it after thinking about it, but every time he was assigned a substitute teaching task, he still didn't have the courage to shout out.

After class and went to the canteen to eat, Shen Tiejun went back to the dormitory, and before he started to eat, Liu Zhuzi entered the house in a hurry, threw down the letter and left.

The letter was sent from home, Shen Tiejun was a little curious, looked at the calendar hanging at the door, and then realized that the family should have been unable to stretch out his hand, and he was still wearing a single coat, eating and opening it, Shen Daliang's dark face appeared in front of him, as if he was narrating: "Now there are more fish sellers, not only fish sellers, but also grain sellers, Liu Dagang has a bumper harvest this year, and half of it is given to the branch secretary's family, and our father decided to grow grain in his own land next year." ”
