……

Liu Chen felt a sense of powerlessness in the face of Xiao Yue's words.

"I accidentally saw a news on the Internet, this year's champion of Hui Province seems to be also called Liu Chen, this kid is in a small county called Qingzhou, not only is he awesome, but he was admitted to the undergraduate degree with the whole class, it is simply a hanging, I also came out of the small county seat, I know that it is difficult, this guy is really amazing, I thought at the time, what a coincidence, you are also called Liu Chen, do you say this thing is funny?"

"Where is the fun?" Liu Chen felt that Xiao Yue had a unique sense of humor.

"It's not funny, your name is too ordinary, and you have a duplicate name casually. ”

"What would you say to him if you saw him?"

"I want to say that my admiration for him is like a surging river, and like the Yellow River overflowing out of control. ”

"Okay, he's heard, I'll go to the lecture first, and remember to come to me in the evening." Liu Chen walked directly to the multimedia classroom, Xiao Yue was stunned for a while before coming back to her senses, and muttered to herself, "What do you mean kid?"

When Zhuo Ling stood on the podium, it was a little different from private, more solemn, probably girls are like this, offstage and private are very different.

She was wearing a half-cut white shirt today, with a tube skirt underneath, which set off a very perfect waist curve, and the sixteen-year-old girl looked very stylish.

"Hello students, today I will tell you a romantic love story, I will first briefly tell you the context of the story, veteran Paul Sutton returned from the battlefield to his long-lost home, he was tormented by the war and was very eager for a simple, warm family life, however, his wife Betty loved money and was very cold to her husband. ”

Paul got a job selling chocolate and met Victoria, who had returned home to save her family, and she confided in him about her experience. After I became pregnant, I was abandoned by my boyfriend, and I didn't dare to face my conservative family, and kept saying that he would definitely beat me to death! Paul decided to help her, and they came to the vineyard as husband and wife, the beautiful cloud country, a paradise-like countryside, where life was quiet and welcoming. Victoria's loving family made Paul feel more and more that this was his ideal family life......"

"Of course, this is still a film that is not superficial, with a very deep connotation, and I will discuss it with you after watching a few interesting clips. ”

Ma Rui walked in at this time, nodded at Zhuo Ling, and said fluently: "There are some interesting dialogues in this movie, and I will assist Mr. Zhuo to explain." ”

The students applauded warmly, and Ma Rui's reputation was even louder than Zhuo Ling.

After the first segment, Zhuo Ling said: "Conflict or disagreement is a kind of discordant implicit or explicit confrontation. The plot of the movie "A Walk in the Clouds" unfolds in the clash of American and Mexican cultures. This conflict manifests itself in many ways, and differences in values are the root causes. The essence of the cross-cultural clashes in the film is the incompatibility of American and Mexican values. ”

A clip of the movie was played.

Zhuo Ling said: "The first biggest difference is the concept of marriage and love. ”

As a representative of American individualist culture, the male protagonist Paul's views are branded with American individualism. First of all, his concept of love has a strong individualistic color, that is, true love is based on the other person's personal rather than any external objectified things, such as family, money, etc., and the core of personal happiness is romantic and pure love. Victoria, who studied for a master's degree in the United States, was also influenced by the American culture of individualism. She focuses on the emotional needs of the individual. Insist on your own choices in love and marriage, rather than family arrangements. ”

"Unlike American society, Mexico is a collectivist cultural society with a large distance of power. Collectivist Mexicans have a very different attitude towards marriage than Americans. Collectivist societies focus first and foremost on the family, adhering to a large family outlook. Family members are bound and related to each other, and each member has responsibilities to the family. Under the constraints of this culture, Victoria's unmarried pregnancy is definitely not an act of personal autonomy but a shame for the whole family, and it is absolutely forbidden. ”

Ma Rui was unhappy when he saw Liu Chen sitting there, and he deliberately used the content of the movie to give him a warning, and then said: "Secondly, the Mexican family pays special attention to the inheritance of the family and the authority of the parents. Young people must obtain the consent of their parents from courtship to marriage, and parents consider the right family in the marriage of their children, especially those who have a good background and family heritage. Victoria's father, as a representative and defender of traditional Mexican collectivist values, wanted his daughter to marry a Mexican with good blood. ”

Zhuo Ling didn't know why he suddenly answered, and said with a smile: "So when he learned that the American Paul worked as a chocolate seller instead of a famous family, he strongly opposed their marriage." All of this clashed strongly with American-style values of self-reliance, leading Victoria to rebelly shout "I-am-not-a-horse, it-is-my-choice-who-I-marry-not-his." ”

Ma Rui also said with a smile: "Mr. Zhuo's analysis is very in place, in fact, although our country is no longer a typical collectivist society, after the construction of urbanization, a big family usually no longer lives together, but the concept of the family inherited from ancient times to the present, still pay attention to the right family, I personally think this is more important." The values of a girl growing up in a big city are fundamentally different from that of a poor boy from a small place, heh, if Victoria hadn't been pregnant, I don't think she would have looked at Paul much when she was in New York. ”

When he spoke. He glanced at Liu Chen several times defiantly.

Zhuo Ling frowned, and said politely: "Teacher Ma Rui gave another interpretation, as for how everyone understands, it is a matter of opinion, let's analyze the next fragment." ”

"Americans' concept of equality and individualism is also present in the family. All members of the family are equal, and everyone has the sacred and inviolable rights given by God. Everyone has the right to make decisions for themselves and solve problems on their own, which is the embodiment of individual autonomy and self-reliance, and parents have no right to interfere in their children's affairs, otherwise it will destroy the spirit of freedom and independence. Parents respect their children, and on the basis of adhering to the principles of life and obeying social moral norms, they should encourage their children to be self-oriented and self-developed. Mexican families, on the other hand, emphasize the absolute authority of their parents, as Victoria puts it, "everyone tells you how you should live your life" at home."

Ma Rui squinted at Liu Chen, thinking about how to give him some more color. The spoken language that comes out of this small place is very bad. (To be continued.) )
