Chapter 284: Blending
In Zhang Jingyao's living room, Matsuo Yuki looked at Zhang Lan and thought to himself about this woman, as if there was a hatred for the Japanese in his eyes.
It seems that this woman is not a vain woman like Zhang Fenxiang, on the surface, this woman is a little frivolous, and she does not look as temperamental as her talent.
Matsuo thought that this kind of woman should be easy to sell, but listening to Zhang Lan's words and demeanor, he seemed to have an antipathy towards the Japanese, which made him feel that it might not be so easy to serve this woman for their Japanese empire.
But Matsuo felt that although Zhang Lan may hate Japan in her heart now, there was always a way to make this woman change her mind.
Many traitors used to be patriotic, but there will be weaknesses in the human department, and if you find their weaknesses, these people will also be used by the Japanese.
"Okay, let's not talk about these things for now, I'm here today to listen to Miss Zhang sing, and we'll talk about other things later, okay?" Matsuo changed the conversation and chatted with Zhang Lan about music.
Zhang Lan thought to herself that if I can sing, it doesn't mean that I understand music, these songs were not written by me, this is something that Wen Hao arranged for him.
However, Zhou Yuying saw that she was on the side with Zhang Lan and the two of them, and Zhou Yuying kept looking at the time, wondering if Wen Hao was ready.
Matsuo and Zhang Jingyao compared Zhang Lan with Zhao Jingxiang, saying that there is Zhao Jingxiang in the south and Zhang Lan in the north, and he has become the second legend in the Chinese music industry.
Although Zhang Lan debuted later than Zhao Jingxiang, the English song "The Past Comes Again" conquered many Westerners, making Westerners worship Zhang Lan.
Now Zhao Jingxiang has not had much performance in the music industry since Wen Hao left, except that Wen Hao left her a few songs and asked her to release them from time to time to maintain her status in the music world, but Zhao Jingxiang did not have much performance in the music industry because Wen Hao was gone.
She thought that she was always worried about Wen Hao, and she had no intention of being in the limelight in the music industry.
So it also made Zhang Lan famous in Tianjin, and Wen Hao was afraid that she would not be in the limelight enough. deliberately let her sing an English golden song to impress Westerners.
Although Chinese are bullied by Westerners, we are bullied because Westerners are stronger in science and technology than China, which also creates another psychology of admiring foreign flattery, if Westerners like things. Chinese will also follow suit.
When did China start to worship foreign countries?
To a certain extent, the Republic of China inherited the attitude of the Manchus towards foreigners, but it was a little more civilized.
Compared with the intellectuals of the late Qing Dynasty, there was a major change in the intellectuals of the Republic of China, that is, many of them began to thoroughly criticize traditional Chinese culture and yearn for the worship of the West from the bottom of their hearts, rather than just staying in the stage of "Chinese style and Western use" as in the Manchu era.
However, these intellectuals were radical and rebellious in their views. However, they are still very patriotic and conscientious in their hearts, and they sincerely accept and promote Western culture and criticize traditional culture because they want to transform China and realize the dream of a strong country in their hearts.
Moreover, these intellectuals really learned serious things - Mr. De, Mr. Sai, and all kinds of isms, and a large number of elite intellectuals who stayed abroad at that time, we found that very few people converted to Christianity, and even fewer people played "petty bourgeoisie" and "taste" pretends. Even if we have never heard of anyone with a foreign name, or who celebrates Christmas without believing in religion, the worship of the mainstream Western culture extends to everything in the West and the worship of Westerners themselves. Although their attitude towards traditional Chinese culture is fierce, their worship and yearning for the West still remain rational.
Even such scholars were only a small fraction of the scholars of the time, and many more were conservatives and enlightened traditionalists. Moreover, in the Republic of China, only a small number of scholars worship the West, and ordinary people are still conservative and xenophobic, at least indifferent to Western culture and foreigners themselves.
Also in the Republic of China period. We can see that at that time, many men in China's upper elite class were able to marry foreigners, but very few heard of Chinese women marrying foreigners. Very few Chinese upper-class women were able to study abroad or move overseas. Many traditional virtues can still be preserved.
Now look at the Chinese woman who wants to marry abroad, even foreigners who ask for food will marry, hey, the wind is falling.
。 In the history of China, there has never been an era when women so collectively and unthinkingly fell into the arms of foreign men.
It's that women are all born with some kind of cheapness. When they see a stronger or more attractive man of different race, they will take the initiative to abandon their own man and throw themselves into the arms of a man of different race, or the man of his own race is not attractive.
When did the Chinese really become generally foreigners? Perhaps I think I have the answer, but when the generation that was once full of ideals and feelings in their youth eventually became the "originators" and vulgar image of the Chinese in the course of time, and those who were full of revolutionary passion in the Mao era acted perversely and tacitly embraced reverse nationalism in the Deng and post-Deng eras, and infinitely touted the policies and propaganda of foreign countries that belittled their own country and nation.
At first, the Chinese thought that the master of Yi would learn the advanced things of the West for the purpose of controlling Yi, and later it was simply that foreigners used it well, and what foreigners said was the blind psychology of being right.
Today, when the admiration of foreign countries is overflowing, many Chinese have begun to awaken their national consciousness and racial consciousness.
Wen Hao likes Chinese culture, but does not reject advanced foreign things.
In fact, before the Republic of China, the Chinese had not yet reached the kind of psychology of worshipping foreigners, and many scholars at that time were Chinese and Western.
It is those upper-class socialites such as Tang Ying and Lu Xiaoman, who are famous courtesans who not only understand the quintessence of Peking Opera, but also Western opera.
At that time, people not only based on their own culture, but also began to learn foreign things, not just like foreign things and abandon their own culture.
At that time, many people thought that as long as it was foreign things, they were better than their own countries, and as long as they heard about imports, they said that they were good without distinction.
Even some Chinese-made things, after returning from a circle abroad, are labeled as foreign, and they are sought after by Chinese.
This situation is now slowly changing, and some ethnic things are slowly entering the hearts of the Chinese people.
Wen Hao took advantage of the fact that there are many foreigners in this Six Nations Hotel, and skillfully used an English song to make Zhang Lan popular.
It was also a bit of a guide. As soon as foreigners sought after, and the original Chinese song also spread throughout Tianjin overnight, Zhang Lan suddenly became the most famous singer in Tianjin. (To be continued.) )
