Chapter 378: Attention

If you want to stand out in a group of people, then you don't have to be like everyone else. Basically, when everyone is focused on one thing, you can easily be caught if you are caught alone distracted by other things.

When I was in school, the reason why the teacher was always able to find out when my thoughts were deserted was probably because of this reason.

Of course, this principle is not absolute. If you mix one Sister Feng into ten Jolin Tsai, it will be easy to be discovered. But if you mix a Sister Feng into 1,000 Jolin Tsai, it will be difficult to be discovered.

Shen Yiyi is in the array of few female guests reserved for Beijing, and it is easy to be discovered with her age and dress. In addition, her current style of acting is really a bit loose, so when Joshua looked this way, she immediately caught Joshua's attention.

Westerners are fascinated by this red regime in the East. On the one hand, curiosity about an ancient country with a 5,000-year-old civilization; On the other hand, Marxism was actually born out of utopian socialism, which had a considerable market in the liberal and romantic West. Of course, this interest in China in the West has its fair share of trends.

During the period after 1949 until the death of the great man of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China was a revolutionary paradise that Western left-wing youth longed for. And the great man, like Che Guevara, became the idol of the world's revolutionary youth. His influence in the world can be seen in the revolutionary parties and groups that still exist in various parts of the world today under the banner of "Maoism". And at the time of his death, how many revolutionary youths chose to die. Note that those people are not Chinese, but foreigners. However, there is one thing to say, most of those who really committed suicide were the Japanese Red Army, and there were still not many Westerners.

When we open the country. When we go to the world, because we are enemies of the evil empire in the north, the general public in the West sees us as a nail of freedom and democracy that is being carved into the communist world, and they have a natural affinity for us. Whether it is the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, or France, the people's favorability for China is off the charts. But that kind of favor is actually about the same kind of favor that they have for India now. It can be said that there is a good feeling but no respect.

As for the image of China, which has become the biggest enemy of the Western world since the 90s, has begun to plummet. But in terms of some kind of Cheng dΓΉ. This shows that people are starting to value you and think that you have some kind of ability to challenge them.

However, Westerners' understanding of the individual image of the Chinese is not the same as their understanding of the overall image. In the free world, since the Beat Generation, conservative rhetoric akin to white chauvinism has become a thing of the past. On the contrary, interracial aesthetics have become popular again. Even white women are beginning to accept black men. Comrade Ao Guanhai was born in the world in this trend.

If whites will like blacks, then Chinese, who are closer to whites in skin color, will certainly attract their attention.

Joshua found that as soon as he saw the girl, it was as if he were glued. He probably wouldn't have thought that he would feel this way about a girl from mainland China.

Unlike the conservative, dull and ungenerous appearance of the girl in the mainland in his impression, he didn't expect to see an alternative in a group that should have been organized and disciplined. I saw her blatantly daring to move slowly but effectively around when other people's eyes were on that stage, or fake sleep there with her eyes closed. Joshua's felt funny. Because the feeling that the girl gave him somehow reminded him of the marmots who had spent his teenage years with him on his family's manor. Her alert yet self-caring appearance was so kind in his eyes. Joshua has not read any Japanese comics, let alone been washed by the overwhelming Chinese Internet culture in later generations, otherwise he would use more appropriate Chinese to describe the feelings that Shen Yiyi gave him at this moment. That's right, Joshua thinks Shen Yiyi is very cute at the moment.

Sima Fan, because of his father's love for Chinese culture, was also affected to yearn for what was about to happen. Hong Kong is about to return to China's embrace. I will soon be able to become a Chinese.

Unlike Sima Wen, who has always wanted to be Chinese, his children are born in Hong Kong, so according to Hong Kong law, they naturally have Hong Kong identity. And according to the laws of the SAR Government. All Hong Kong citizens have the right to freely choose their identity. According to the consensus between China and the UK, Hong Kong citizens can choose to become naturalised British citizens. This means that they renounce their Chinese citizenship and Hong Kong citizenship. But they also retain the right of abode in Hong Kong. If not naturalised as a British citizen. Then they are still Hong Kong citizens, but Hong Kong citizens of China.

Therefore, Sima Fan and Sima Baolin, two siblings like their mother, will be able to obtain Chinese nationality immediately. And this made their father Sima Wen very envious.

Perhaps it was because of that emotional connection to China that Sima Fan's dedication to ritual was far greater than Joshua's. He only occasionally distracts himself from his friends. But of course, he thinks that his good classmates should be as dedicated to such rituals as he is. In order not to disturb his good classmates, he specially asked his mother to leave his sister Pauline at home today. Don't let her come out and pester her good classmates.

Of course, it would be nice to say that this was out of protection for his sister. From the selfish nature of an older brother, he doesn't think Joshua is a good match for his sister. For no other reason, his classmate is so handsome and rich that girls are definitely not a scarce material for him. Rather, it is a surplus commodity. And he looked completely cold.

There is also a Western value concept, Sima Fan is not a person who adheres to the ancient Chinese concept of "men and women do not kiss". He was purely afraid that his sister would fall too deep into his friend, and finally affect his relationship with the other party. He knew his sister wasn't going to be enough to tempt Joshua.

However, he turned back for a moment, only to find that his friend's eyes did not seem to be on the stage in front of him like himself. It was as if his gaze drifted diagonally to a place.

He followed his friend's gaze and glanced there, trying to see what kind of beauty could make his friend's eyes feel as if they were glued.

Sima Fan stabbed his classmate with his arm: "Joshua, what are you staring at the wife group from Beijing?" Our future first lady is a very respectable lady, but I don't think you're going to look straight at a grandmother. ”

Joshua ignored his brother's teasing. In fact, he noticed that the girl seemed to be asleep by this time. The head that had been erected there was now drooping to the point where he didn't know what it was, which made him very worried about her cervical spine.

also because Sima Fan didn't come over at a coincidental time, so he happened not to find out that his good classmates were actually not paying attention to those grandmothers.

Shen Yiyi didn't know why he was so sleepy. She remembers that in her previous life, she was obviously quite excited about the return of Hong Kong. At that time, I was in college, and in order to organize everyone's viewing, the school specially opened an all-night TV in the cafeteria. So she and her classmates watched the live TV broadcast of Hong Kong's handover ceremony in the greasy cafeteria, and of course, the celebration party of all walks of life in the capital. At that time, I was so excited that I didn't doze off at all.

But when I actually arrived at the scene, I realized that this ceremony was so lengthy, and it was definitely not as short as it was broadcast on TV. The process of entering the security check just now was already very tiring.

Shen Yiyi has a problem common to the children of their generation, and he can't lift his spirits for Chinese-style leadership speeches. As soon as she heard the speeches written by the secretaries who seemed to have graduated from the Department of Political Science of Renmin University according to the standard template, she couldn't help but want to doze off. In addition, whether it is a speech by a politician in the West or a speech by a Chinese leader, it actually belongs to the category of mouth artillery. Even if Western speeches may still be a little fresh, those speeches are boring enough to take out the little tricks that have been deliberately added to them.

Of course, for the sake of fairness, the speeches of Western leaders are more provocative and contagious than the steadiness of the speeches of Chinese leaders, so sometimes it sounds as if we are at odds with others. At that time, Shen Yiyi would sigh in his heart, we should let our leaders go to the MLM training class for training. Thinking about the picture of our leaders speaking at the speed and skill of the TV shopping channel, Shen couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought of it.

Of course, even if the speed and rhythm of the British Justice of the Peace speaking on stage now are hypnotic, it is impossible for Shen Yiyi to really fall asleep for too long. After all, they still need to maintain the dignity of a big country now that they represent the image of China. So Shen Yiyi, who was about to fall asleep, naturally had someone to remind her not to be too casual.

Shen Yiyi felt that her feet were kicked by the people around her, which made her wake up again all of a sudden. So Joshua, who had never left the place, saw the head that had sunk again. (To be continued......)
