Chapter 757 Explanation Explanation
With Yali's help and Xiao Peng's explanation, the atmosphere at the table finally improved, but they were still suspicious of many things that Xiao Peng said.
To give a simple example, even Carrasco and Mignolet, two young Belgians, do not believe that almost all cities in China are covered by 4G networks, and some have even begun to experiment with 5G networks. And for them, it's incredible!
Almost all Western countries are vast and sparsely populated, so the network is not as popular as imagined, Belgium as one of the most developed countries in Europe, the network here, similar to the 3G network, and even slower, it takes half a day to open a web page, and the traffic is expensive. It's hundreds of times stronger than here!
However, one good thing is that perhaps because Youmei's grandmother is from the Japanese country, no one asked Xiao Peng about 'eating dog meat' and 'eating rice'. It's a question that people ask everywhere they go.
Even so, there are still many questions that make Xiao Peng cry and laugh:
For example, Mignolet: "Xiao, do you know? Today I saw that you were driving, and I was still worried, I didn't expect you Chinese people to drive." At first, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to keep up, so I deliberately drove a little slower. β
Xiao Peng was instantly stunned when he heard it, and directly grew his mouth: "Ah?" What kind of stalk is this?
Mignolet looked at Xiao Peng's expression: "I know you have countless bicycles in Huaxia, but there are not many cars, right?"
Xiao Peng covered his face, this statement really made him helpless: "I must invite you to go to Huaxia to have a look, really! There are not many Huaxia cars?" Please, I'll tell you about my hometown, that's called Qindao, in our Huaxia belongs to a second-tier city, the size is only one-third of your country, but the population is about the same as yours, in my hometown, there are nearly three million cars, I have two, believe me, my city is only a small city in our country, those top big cities have more cars, like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, these big cities in the vehicle, just take out one, the number of cars may be more than the population of your entire country. β
When Yumi's family heard this, they only sighed.
Grandma Youmei's question is also very classic: "Xiao, as far as I know, you Huaxia people have always had a very hostile attitude towards the Wa Kingdom so far, why is that?"
Xiao Peng looked at Grandma Youmei, and didn't know how to answer, after all, she was a native of the Japanese country, and it was understandable that she cared about her motherland, but you asked Xiao Peng to say that he had no hatred for the Japanese country? Isn't that nonsense? If you let it be slaughtered in the capital, you hate him too!
But after thinking about it, it is not appropriate to answer this directly, after all, Belgium in World War I and World War II was slaughtered by the Germans, and now the relationship between the two countries is not bad.
"It's probably a matter of attitude. Xiao Peng said.
"Attitude?" everyone didn't understand what Xiao Peng meant.
Xiao Peng stretched out his finger: "Take Germain as an example, Germain was the culprit of World War II and did a lot of wrong things, whether it was the Netherlands or Belgium, they all suffered from it, but why do people not hate Germain today, on the contrary, Germain has a higher and higher status in Europe, and has a tendency to become a European leader? The reason is very simple, Germain has the courage to admit his mistakes, the courage to correct his mistakes, and the courage to assume his own responsibilities. But what about the Japanese state? It has never admitted its mistakes during World War II, and it is just a matter of not admitting its mistakes, and it has also revised its domestic history books to not recognize the history of that period. Do you think we can have no hostility towards such a people?"
Ya Li, who was on the side, shook her head after hearing this: "Xiao, I think your opinion is wrong. β
Xiao Peng frowned, where was he wrong? Why did Yali jump out and go against the tune now?
Yali said slowly: "You Huaxia now have the ability to destroy the capital of the Wa Kingdom a hundred times. You shouldn't care about the attitude of the Japanese State towards the issue of history, you are so powerful now, you don't need to care about this issue at all, if they dare to invade you again, you can completely destroy them directly!"
Xiao Peng's eyes widened after hearing this, uh, Ya Li's statement is standard Western logic, as long as you are awesome enough, then you don't have to think about the hostility of the weak people at all, he dares to jump?
Now Xiao Peng suddenly understands why so many countries are clamoring for the 'Chinese threat theory' every day, that is, when facing a powerful force, it comes from instinctive fear.
Thinking about it this way, Huaxia is actually quite terrifying, and it single-handedly stopped the progress of sixteen countries on the side of the Japanese State!
At that time, how poor was China? They were able to do this, but now that China is rich and the people are strong, it is simply unimaginable what step they can take! No wonder they continue to smear China and be hostile to China.
It's like an honest ordinary person, and the neighbor next to him is a B society, can they not be afraid?
Well, that's not a good analogy, but γγγγγγγ That's really what happened! However, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to say this to Yumi's grandmother, right?
Xiao Peng, who suddenly became enlightened, didn't care about their misunderstanding of Huaxia-----You are all weak chickens, what do I care about your opinions?"
"In fact, in addition to your media nonsense, there is another important reason for your misunderstanding of Huaxia. Xiao Peng said with a smile.
"What is the reason?" asked Yumi's mother.
Xiao Peng thought for a moment and said, "I have a friend named Pagio, when I was in the Stars and Stripes, I met one of his employees, an old man in his sixties, and when I chatted with him, I learned that in the last forty years, he has been to China five times. β
"The first time he came to China, it was in the late 70s of the last century, when he participated in an investment conference, the conference room was held in Qindao, and he stayed in an exclusive hotel, which was fully equipped with living facilities, but from the outside, it was a safety net and scaffolding, and it looked like it was being repaired, and the purpose was to prevent other Chinese people from seeing the lives of these foreigners. Wherever they want to go, they are picked up at the door of the bus, the windows of the car are tightly pasted with adhesive tape and newspapers, they eat together, they are not allowed to contact others, the translator accompanies them throughout the process, and if they have shopping needs, they will write a list, and there will be someone to buy them back. So the first time he came to Huaxia, he had never seen what Huaxia looked like. β
Everyone was stunned: "In the seventies of the last century, your country was still so closed? Oh my God!" Yumi's mother sighed.
Xiao Peng smiled: "You went to the north of the plastic surgery country today, and it is still like this there." You have to understand that in the 80s, our country had just started reform and opening up, and it was not surprising that this was the case at that time. β
Yumei's father said, "Xiao, you go on. β
The second time he went to China was in the early 80s, when it was much more relaxed, he could see Huaxia well, he could go out, he could ride his bicycle around, and many Chinese people would chat with him in basic English. However, it was not a good time for him to come, which happened to be during the first strike hard in 83. Everyone was panicked, so he just looked at the scenery of Huaxia. Xiao Peng said.
"What's Strike Hard?" asked Grandpa Yumi curiously.
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "It's the police's move to focus on fighting crime." β
Grandpa Yumei nodded: "Well, that's a good thing!"
Xiao Peng was stunned when he heard it, a good thing?
As a matter of fact, the term 'strike hard' is very common in China, and it is not surprising that the common people now hear the word 'strike hard,' but when the time goes back to 83 years ago, it is a change in the color of everyone's talk. At that time, whistling on a woman was punishable by ten years!
There was such an incident in Xiao Peng's hometown, a pair of young men and women dealt with each other, and finally found that it was not suitable, the boy proposed to break up, the girl was unwilling, in order to save the boy, he went to the police station to accuse him of playing hooligan and messing with the relationship between men and women.
Then the arrest and interrogation, probably to ask the two if they had gone to bed or not, the boy confessed and quickly pronounced the sentence, and the execution was carried out fifteen days later. Since then, the girl has married away from home and has not returned to her parents' home. The two families who had been friends in the world became mortal enemiesγγγγγγ
That's how hard it was to fight crime.
But this matter is definitely more beneficial than disadvantageous for Huaxia!
Before the Strike Hard Strike, the domestic police were nothing but nothing! Now many people say that the reason for the good law and order in the country is that the people are honest ------Ahh
At that time, two groups of people at the entrance of the workers' stadium could take out their guns and spray them at each other in order to grab tickets! There were car bandits and road rage everywhere, cutting down trees and blocking the road to prevent drivers from passing, and the whole village of men, women, and children went out together to grab things! Fights and stabbing people were commonplace!
Now the thief stabbed the policeman to death, that was a big deal, but if it wasn't cracked down on back then, it wouldn't be a thing!
The first wanted criminal on the reward order in the history of New China, that is, the famous 'Two Kings of the Northeast' Wang Zongfang and Wang Zongwei brothers, in fact, are two thieves, went to the hospital commissary to steal things, the brothers were caught killing several arresters and fled and were wanted by the whole country, and before the 83 crackdown, I don't know how many times something like this happened!
Of course, there are certain shortcomings in this strike-hard campaign, and the 10-year black tide has caused many unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, which were not changed until the promulgation of the Criminal Law in '97, and what kind of police torture to extort confessions is also a problem left over from that era.
Now that society is progressing, there are fewer and fewer such cases. At some point, the police have become vulnerable, and now they are watched by the media every day, wishing that something would go wrong.
However, it is still the same sentence, on the whole, the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages, the reason is that after the crackdown again and again, Huaxia has such a good public security environment today, it is said that the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, Huaxia has the largest population in the world, but now it has the safest living environment in the world, in general, it is inseparable from the strike hard at that time.
