Chapter 758 Various misunderstandings
Of course, you can't tell Youmei's family about these things, otherwise they will stand on the moral high ground and accuse Huaxia, which is what all Westerners like to do the most.
Yumei's father asked, "Then what about him going to Huaxia in the future?"
Xiao Peng shrugged: "His original words were: 'The third time I went to China, my first reaction was: Damn! The fourth time I went to China, my first reaction was that I relied on it! And the fifth time I went to China, I didn't do anything, I first bought a house here, and when I retired, I will end my life in this country." He told me that coming to China several times felt like riding in a time machine, and each time he came it was like going to a different century. He hasn't been to China for five years, and believe me, this time he will definitely feel like he has traveled another century. β
When Chinese people go abroad, the biggest doubt is why foreigners don't know about China so much.
The simple reason is that most people only read about China from newspapers, magazines, and outdated textbooks, as well as biased news organizations such as CNN, BBC, and FOX News, who don't want people to know about China and manipulate the media to create public awareness.
They don't want ordinary people to know about China's strong economic power, so they try their best to smear China's image----- for example, all the food that Chinese people eat is made of lead-containing tripolymer, pet dogs, pet cats and little girls. (There was a stage on 'Youtu Force', and the first video that came out of searching for CHINA was the so-called 'Huaxia Supermarket Selling Baby Girl Corpses' video recorded in secret, the problem is that after looking at the comments, those brain-dead Stars and Stripes people really believe it!)
Just like the great Stars and Stripes, they don't care about all kinds of racial conflicts, all kinds of gun crimes, they only care about the Yulin Dog Meat Festival in China.
They are trying their best to promote the 'family planning' policy in China, saying that the Chinese people only want boys, and if a pregnant woman is pregnant with a girl, she will miscarry and get pregnant again, hoping that next time it will be a boy. Let everyone baash Huaxia.
And they do this for the simple reason that they don't want to admit the failure of their own polity.
It's a pity that so many years of hard work has been in vain, Huaxia has grown into the world's second largest economy, those Western people's perception of Huaxia is still stuck in the Chinese people braided and wear coats, but suddenly found that Chinese tourists have spread all over the world------ and that is called a rich!
In the end, there was no choice but to say that the Chinese people were not qualified, or that the inexplicable national pride made them start racial discrimination. In the end, there are two reasons: fear and jealousy.
On the one hand, they are afraid of Huaxia's growing strength, and on the other hand, they are jealous that Huaxia people are so rich, so how can this problem be solved? Continue to smear Huaxia, continue to say that Huaxia's one-child system, even now that Huaxia has opened up the second child, they still criticize it, on the grounds that having more children and having fewer children is freedom, and only after getting along with this group of foreigners can they really know what a 'moral' is, and they can always find the moral high ground to point fingers at Huaxia.
(In the eyes of foreigners, when it comes to Huaxia, the first thing that comes to mind is eating cats and dogs, then 'no cooking' and 'copycats', and then 'family planning', in their eyes, all Chinese people must have boys, and if they are pregnant with a girl, they will have a miscarriage.) It is not denied that there is indeed such a person, Lao Yang has seen it with his own eyes, the pregnant woman has just come out of the operating room, lying on the hospital bed, the newborn girl is beside her, her husband is in charge of pushing the cart, and her mother-in-law is walking in front, spitting 'Bah, really mourned, gave birth to a girl', so he chattered all the way, and the angry old Yang wanted to beat him. But after all, such people are a minority, but foreigners don't believe it, in their eyes, the Chinese people are like this, and there are also words that 'the proportion of the population in China, there are 30 million more men than women!', please, without interference, the sex ratio of babies in all countries in the world is basically the same, all between 1:102-105, that is, for every 100 female babies born, the number of male babies born is between 102-107, which is called the constant value of the sex ratio of newborn babies! For example, in Qatar, there are 90 percent more men than women, and the ratio is as high as 1.9:1, and Saudi Arabia is not bad, 1.22:1, and these countries are short of women, so no one says about them? To put it bluntly, they are looking at China with colored glasses. Also unlucky are the North Plastic Surgery Country, Langyi and other countriesγγγγγγγ οΌ
What Xiao Peng wants to do now is to give these people who don't know about Huaxia a shocking education, so that they know what the real Huaxia is: "Actually, I run a horse farm in Huaxia, and the jockeys and trainers in my horse farm are all from all countries in the world, so I still have a little say in this matter." β
"For example, there was a jockey who came from Spain, and before he left, his mother saw him off with snot and tears: 'My poor son, why do you have to go to such a remote, backward and poor country to suffer? And after a while, his mother's words became, 'Son, no matter how good Huaxia is, it's not your hometown, you must go home!' but I heard from my partner that the kid has now found a Huaxia girlfriend and is no longer willing to go home. β
Grandpa You Mei was shocked when he heard this: "Is Huaxia really that good?"
Xiao Peng raised his wine glass and saluted Grandpa Youmei: "I don't deny that there are problems in Huaxia, such as environmental problems, population problems, and so on. But speaking from my heart, I have been out and gone to so many countries, and I really feel that China is the best, and we in China have always made progress in correcting mistakes, such as environmental problems, which is the first thing our country needs to solve now. I really don't understand why everyone thinks that we Chinese people are not doing well, let me tell you a funny thing, when I was in Gaul, I met a second-generation Gallic immigrant whose ancestral home is Syria, and he asked me a question that made me almost squirt. β
"Oh, what did he ask you?" asked Yumi's father curiously.
"He asked me: 'You Chinese people have lived so hard, what is there that you haven't resisted?' I really had nothing to say at that time, and the immigrants of a country who could not keep their rights and sovereignty because of the war actually felt that our Chinese people were not doing well. Our Chinese people are doing well, why should we resist?" Xiao Peng replied.
Everyone in the audience laughed.
"In fact, it is much better than before, and more and more Chinese people are going abroad to let the world begin to understand us little by little. But a lot of times, it's really hard to change their opinions, and I'll give you a simple example, or is it that in our racecourse, the chief trainer of our racecourse is called Bob, a Stars and Stripes, uh, you know. β
The people of European countries do not know much about China, but they know very well about the Stars and Stripes, and in the eyes of the vast majority of Europeans, the people of the Stars and Stripes are about equal to 'arrogance' and 'terrorists'. As long as there is news of the confrontation between Huaxia and the Stars and Stripes, there are definitely more people who support Huaxia.
"Bob has been with us for several years, and he still complains every day, but I think he is more like a schizophrenic, for example, he spends all day complaining that we have too many fakes there, saying that this is not in line with intellectual property rights and so on, and as a result, this guy buys more high-imitation luxury goods than anyone else, and no one else can see that he has saved a lot of money. Now that guy usually wears a fake name tag, and he will only change the real thing when he goes out. Xiao Peng smiled: "Actually, that guy is very rich, but he is tired of doing this, this is human nature." β
"Oh, and also, he has always thought that the quality of Chinese meat and dairy products is not as good as that of European and American countries, and he doesn't understand why Chinese people eat meat to cut the meat into small sizes, but every time we eat hot pot, he eats the most. It's the standard 'say no, but the body is honest'. β
Listening to Xiao Peng's eloquent talk, everyone still looked incredulous. Xiao Peng didn't bother to talk nonsense: "It's better like this, I invite you to travel to Huaxia to see what kind of country Huaxia is." I'm responsible for all the costs. I know that Belgians also value family, so I invite everyone to go. β
Xiao Peng may laugh at other people's misunderstandings, but Xiao Peng still explains it clearly to Youmei's family, so as not to think that Youmei is suffering behind him.
Yumei's father's focus is on eating: "Hot pot?
Xiao Peng didn't know how to explain it, and looked at You Mei. Yumi explained to his father, "It's a Chinese food. At first, I didn't understand how unhygienic it was for so many people to put their chopsticks in a pot and stir them around, but since I ate them, I realized that it was simply food sent by God to the world. Grandma, I heard Xiao tell me that there is also a tradition of eating hot pot in the Wa Kingdom, why have you never made it for us?"
Yumei's grandmother shook her head with a wry smile: "When I came to Belgium, I was still in swaddling clothes, how could I make food for the Japanese country." β
Xiao Peng raised his hand: "You Mei, in fact, the hot pot of the Wa Kingdom is still different from the hot pot of Huaxia, the hot pot of Huaxia is to boil the bottom of the pot and then put the ingredients into the base to eat." In the Wa Kingdom, the hot pot is made by putting the ingredients in a pot and then boiling them together. So it's still different. β
"Is that thing called 'hot pot' really that delicious?" asked Yumi's father.
Yumi thought seriously for a while and said, "You may not be used to it at the beginning, after all, it is not sweet, to be precise, the number of sweet Chinese food is not very large. Most of the Chinese food is on the heavy side and not so light. But when you get used to it, you will find that your taste buds open another door, Chinese food is really delicious, especially this hot pot, delicious is not good!"
