Chapter Seventy-Eight: Protecting the Flag (Fourth Update)
Wan Qian led the travel bag and also appeared at Charles de Gaulle Airport, and it was Song Jia who picked him up.
"Sister, how do I feel that Paris is like this?"
“… It's pretty much the same in the big cities all over the world!"
"I feel like I've been deceived, didn't I say that Paris is the most beautiful city in the world?"
"For rich people, everywhere is the most beautiful, okay, have you found a job in your research institute?"
“… It's almost, but the salary is not high, and I found a job as a Chinese training teacher by the way, which can be regarded as earning some extra money!"
"You're the most capable!"
The two took a taxi into the residence.
"Sister, you have been in Paris for four years, are there any taboos?"
“… Don't talk to them about China, they have to be too prejudiced!"
"What kind of prejudice can there be? Anyway, you can just talk to them, by the way, don't say that you eat dog meat, and don't take the initiative to mention the Tibet issue!"
"yes, I know!"
The next five minutes of the plot is the similar prejudice that Wan Qian encountered...
and then the little brother played by Peng Peng, who also encountered prejudice...
Foreigners do have a stereotypical prejudice against China!
They think that China is poor, the Chinese people are in dire straits, and they say that the Chinese are brainwashed...
A little brother asked Peng Peng, is there a car in China?
Peng Peng was speechless: No, we don't.
He was surprised and asked, "Then how do you get out?"
"We ride donkeys and pandas!"
"Wow, I'm going to China too, I can ride a panda!"
……
The plot of more than 20 minutes is divided into three time periods...
Xu Erha realized in his heart that Shen Ming should be telling about foreigners' stereotypes of China that have not changed much!
Sure enough, the time span then came to the 2008 Olympic Torch Relay...
First, there was a piece of news that the Beijing Olympic torch relay was blocked in London, rioters snatched the torch many times, some tried to extinguish the torch with fire extinguishers, and some people repeatedly crossed the cordon to storm the torchbearers...
Song Jia, Wan Qian, and Peng Peng were very angry.
This is a blatant provocation!
Even more worrying is the upcoming relay of the torch in Paris...
Since the 90s of the last century, the mainstream French society has undergone tremendous changes in its thinking about China, and the left-wing parties that advocate pan-Europeanism have particularly rejected China, and this trend of thought has had a profound impact on French political life and elections.
In fact, among the three main candidates at that time, the left-wing Royal repeatedly challenged China on the Darfur issue, and the center-right candidate Peyroux announced that he would boycott the Beijing Olympics.
Chinese or Chinese students living in Paris can feel this change in thought!
"Protecting the Flag" bluntly puts the form of France at that time in front of you:
Anti-China organizations such as "Reporters Without Borders" made five-ring handcuffs and black flags were hung everywhere and openly advertised in the Paris Times.
In a joint article by Menard, the group's chairman, and Giulial, the secretary-general, said that China would only budge under pressure and that "it must be strong when shaking hands with China."
Former Czech President Havel and other "celebrities" issued a "collective appeal": we must use all possible means to intensify pressure on the Chinese government. Bel Hassen, President of the International League for Human Rights, wrote: "The Olympic Movement: Let's Keep Our Eyes Open!"
A few days ago, the Paris City Council passed a motion to accept so-and-so as an honorary citizen of Paris.
The mayor of Paris, Delanoé, declared: "Parisian values are human rights values, and I think of the Tibetan people first and foremost.
On the façade of the Hôtel de la Ville in Paris hangs a banner reading "Paris protects human rights worldwide".
On the window behind the Paris City Hall, the "lion flag" of a certain group was hung.
"What should I do?"
"I'm going to contact my classmates and make sure that tomorrow's torch relay goes smoothly!"
"I'll go too, let's all go!"
“… Okay, let's go!"
And then a short quick shot, really unleashed all the power that could be unleashed, and everyone desperately tried to contact the people they could.
But the social circles of the three of them are here, and in the end, only a few hundred people were directly mobilized!
At this point, the movie has entered the sixtieth minute...
……
In the sky, the sun is shining, and the strong sunlight is so strong that people's eyes can hardly be opened.
Peng Peng rubbed his eyes, incredulous!
The whole street is covered with the Chinese flag!
A group of people sang the "March of the Volunteers" and marched to the vicinity of the Eiffel Tower...
And then, I was stopped by a police cordon...
At the same time, thousands of rioters gathered at the Human Rights Square in front of the tower, wearing black vests with "five rings of handcuffs," waving black flags of "five rings of handcuffs," and "XXX" flags, holding banners, blowing horns, and shouting slogans.
They walked under the tower to the "Liberty Square" behind the tower.
The men followed the Olympic torch and joined the protesters along the way.
They chartered buses across Paris, chartered yachts to cross the Seine, and vowed not to stop until they reached their goal.
The third stick is the disabled sports Yuan Jinjing played by Tong Yali...
More than a dozen people frantically pushed away the police and pounced on the smiling Tong Yali.
Instinctively holding the torch to his chest, his smile turned into anger, and then he bent down and tried his best to protect the torch.
Her cheeks and chin were slashed, and two Chinese escorts and interpreters were injured.
That's right, this 20-minute tracking footage is all found from the data, and then deduced...
The torch relay was eventually completed without being snatched or extinguished, and the condition was generally satisfactory.
The local TV reporter added a sentence on the side: However, the Beijing Olympic torch did not illuminate Paris!
The camera shifted to Freedom Square, where tens of thousands of Chinese held high the five-star red flag and Chinese and French banners that read "Come on for the Beijing Olympics" and "Same World, Same Dream", including the five-star red flag fluttering everywhere along the torch relay and banners in two languages, cheering...
"Arise, you who do not want to be slaves, and build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall..."
……
The camera switched again, and Peng Peng sat in front of the camera for an interview: "I know that many people are dissatisfied with us being too tolerant, but whether we love the country or not is not by smashing cars on the street, but when someone really wants to infringe on the interests of the motherland or smear the image of the motherland, you can stand up without hesitation." ”
"All of us did our best, not only in Paris, but all over the world, there were patriots who stood up!"
"This is our homeland!"
Then a set of shots showed Los Angeles, Sydney, Seoul, Tokyo, Berlin and other big cities, when the Olympic torch relay, the five-star red flag fluttered all the way...
At the end, a group of people watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in a bar in Paris:
A dazzling halo illuminates the ancient sundial.
In the center of the Bird's Nest Stadium, with a powerful and powerful hit, the 2008 ancient Chinese percussion instruments emitted a moving sound, and the white lights flashed in turn, combining the countdown numbers.
In the thunderous sound, the audience shouted loudly with the change of numbers: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
In the midst of cheers, the opening ceremony officially began: 20 o'clock.
The 2,008 performers sang and chanted "It's a pleasure to have friends from afar" to welcome the Olympians and guests from all over the world.
The last five minutes are taken at the opening ceremony of the Olympics – the NHK version, of course...
Xu Erha's eyes widened,, this is the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games?
Is what I saw on my horse fake?
