036 Take people with short hands and short mouths

When the train started again, the Americans on the train looked at the Chinese people differently. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just four years ago, the United States and the Qing Empire had just signed the Treaty of Anchen, the Treaty of Continuation of the Sino-American Treaty of Tianjin, which was the first equal treaty signed between the Qing Empire and other countries.

The signing of the Treaty of Anchen marked the establishment of formal friendly relations between the United States and the Qing Empire, with the United States granting the Qing Empire the most-favored-nation status, stipulating that citizens of the two countries would be protected from religious persecution in each other's territories, and that both governments would respect freedom of immigration.

The signing of the Treaty of Anchen opened the door for Chinese laborers to immigrate to the United States, and it was also one of the important reasons why the Qing government sent "left-behind children" to the United States.

Although the Treaty of Anson established the reciprocal status of the United States and the Qing Empire in the form of Western international law, the social status of the Chinese in the United States was not high, at least not in line with the contributions made by the Chinese in the process of building the United States, because the Chinese were engaged in heavy manual labor in the United States. Because of the hard work, good management and obedience of the Chinese, as well as less sensitive salary requirements, many American factory owners or mine owners choose to hire Chinese instead of white Westerners, which makes many white Westerners have an exclusive and even hostile attitude towards the Chinese, believing that the Chinese have taken away the jobs that belong to them.

See, some Americans in this period are really similar to some monkeys in Southeast Asia in the twentieth century, they never look for the cause of problems from themselves, but just blindly shift the blame to others, and the Chinese who seem to be cowardly and afraid of things and do not care about politics have become the best scapegoats.

Therefore, before Li Mu arrived in the United States, most Americans did not have a good attitude towards the Chinese, even if there was no conflict of interest and could not be hostile, many Americans' understanding of the Chinese probably only stayed at the level of "a group of dirty and smelly cheap laborers".

And because of the conflict between Eastern and Western languages, the social nature of the Chinese has further aggravated the gap between the Chinese and the white Westerners, so if there is no accident, about ten years later, the United States will introduce the "Chinese Exclusion Act" to legally restrict the entry of Chinese into the United States.

When Li Mu learned this fact, Li Mu's ideals began to change a little.

Originally, Li Mu's dream was to become the world's largest residence, but now, improving the social status of Chinese in the United States and preventing the United States from passing the "Chinese Exclusion Act" has become Li Mu's top priority.

It is certainly a shame for the United States to introduce a legal document such as the Chinese Exclusion Act for one race, but it is even more of a nightmare for the Chinese currently living in the United States.

Li Mu has already made up his mind to break away from the Qing Empire, so for the sake of his own future, Li Mu also wants to prevent the United States from passing the "Chinese Exclusion Act".

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is skinny, the current Li Mu does not have enough strength, and it is even more fantastic to prevent the United States from passing the "Chinese Exclusion Act", and Li Mu still has more work to do to achieve his goal.

As far as the immediate situation is concerned, most of the Americans on the train are ordinary Americans, so before today, these Americans were not very friendly to the Chinese eyes, although they could not be disgusted to this extent, but ridicule and contempt were inevitable, especially after the young children were hungry and crying last night, Li Mu didn't believe that the Americans in the carriage would know nothing, but since they didn't say anything at that time, then Li Mu wouldn't pity them now.

After this morning's "rice-grabbing incident," the Americans in the carriage looked at the Chinese again, and their eyes were not only ridicule and contempt, but also a little disgust and hatred, especially for Li Mu, the "culprit" who had been commanding, and the hatred in his eyes was simply undisguised.

Li Mu is very happy about this change, not because of Li Mu's perversion, but because of the hatred in the eyes of the Americans looking at the Chinese.

This kind of hatred is much stronger than ridicule, only let Americans feel the pain, Americans will hate the Chinese, this is different from the previous ridicule, if the ridicule represents the previous Americans have never faced the reality of the Chinese, then now the Chinese can finally make the Americans face up, this is a change that makes Li Mu feel satisfied, although it is not satisfactory, but it also represents a lot of progress.

Only those who have violated their vital interests and have no choice but to hate them, if the object is insignificant, such as a mosquito that bites them in summer, then it is enough to kill it directly, so that they are not in the mood to hate it.

Corresponding to the hatred of the Americans is the extra affection and admiration in the eyes of the young children looking at Li Mu.

The civilians of the Qing Empire were not only bowed in the face of foreigners, but also in the face of Qing Empire officials, so the civilians of the Qing Empire were "third-class nationals".

Prior to this, these "future pillars" of the Qing Empire probably never had any "rebellious" ideas, and they followed the rules in the face of the officials of the Young Children Overseas Business Bureau headed by Old Man Chen, and they stayed away from foreigners.

Li Mu is actually one of them, but Li Mu dares to fight with Old Man Chen on the basis of reason, and dares to grab food from the mouths of foreigners.

It's all children.,It's very soft to eat people with short hands.,It's not too easy to pull it in.。

Just when Li Mu wanted to win the favor of some young children while the iron was hot, Mike led the little girl's father over just now.

"Ream, this is Mr. Oliveira from the Connecticut Department of Education, and I think you all have a common language." After Mike finished introducing, he winked at Li Mu very proudly.

"Hello, Mr. Oliveira, nice to meet you." Li Mu was immediately enthusiastic, and shaking hands with Oliveira was like seeing a long-lost relative.

"Ream, it's nice to meet you—" Oliveira was very uncomfortable with Li Mu's enthusiasm.

Just an hour ago, it was precisely because of Li Mu's momentary kindness that Oliveira's family would not starve, and Oliveira must not have forgotten it so quickly.

Then Li Mu is so enthusiastic now, and his motive is indeed suspicious.

In fact, Li Mu did not understand the situation, the current education bureau in the United States is different from the education bureau of the Republic in the 21st century, it is only a service department, not a management department, and the entire education bureau even has only three people, and their task is limited to collecting and sorting out information about school institutions, management, systems, and teaching, and then providing the information and results obtained to government agencies and the public, so as to further promote the development of education in Connecticut.

This Connecticut Department of Education looks very miserable.
