Globalization is the trend of world development, and in this global village, which is becoming more and more convenient for communication, it is more convenient for people of all races to get closer to each other. In this kind of communication to a greater or lesser extent, some people who have developed first always look at others with a pair of colored glasses, while some people who have failed and fallen behind are more or less inferior. As a result, their encounters will be somewhat prejudiced and contradictory, resulting in some communication and status asymmetry.

This was the case for some foreigners who had gone out of China before. Because they came from the poor and backward Qing Dynasty, from the outdated Qing Dynasty, when they suddenly crossed from a feudal and closed society to a more advanced and advanced environment, some people either had inferiority complex or tried their best to resist, resulting in them becoming two kinds of people in the end.

One is either completely Westernized, believing that China's 5,000-year-old culture is inferior to that of the West, and they begin to try to become a Westerner. Among them, most of the leaders of the alliance who have been abroad or studied abroad are mostly this type of people, because they have seen the development of the West, and then think about the ignorance and self-isolation of the Qing political axe, so they gave birth to the idea of such a country.

The other type of people are the kind of people who have been influenced by traditional culture in their bones, and when they are affected by Western culture, they stick to something in their hearts. For example, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and others, they have been to the West, and the development of the West has made them doubt Chinese culture, but this doubt only makes them think about how to improve the existing system, so they are more inclined to slowly improve the society.

The two kinds of people can be said to be the two types of people produced during the westernization of modern China, and there are also people who are sandwiched between the two cultures, but no matter what kind of people they are, they will have some inferiority complex when facing the advanced culture of the West.

Deep inferiority.

This inferiority complex has forced some Chinese abroad to change and either become extremely flattering, cynical and rude, or self-defeating and self-deceptive. Anyway, in foreign countries, when it comes to Chinese, the impression of foreigners is negative, and there is nothing good.

But now, as soon as Chen Liqing came up, he took an oath in a new attitude, declaring that they were a new generation of Chinese. What they show in front of the eyes of Westerners will no longer be inferior, self-abandoning, and rude. Instead, something completely new, confident, self-reliant, clean, and handsome.

Chen Liqing wants them to show a more positive and positive attitude in front of foreigners, which is not only a new change in their self-image, but also a kind of respect for the UK, a kind of respect for others and respect for themselves. When a person who flatters others or a confident, clean Chinese faces the British again, which kind of person is more likely to be treated equally by them?

Of course, Chen Liqing also knows that this kind of change cannot be done overnight, but he is familiar with the trend of historical development and knows what is easier for people to love. Neat attire, high spirits, although simple, are the most useful means of expression.

"Therefore, I would like to ask all the gentlemen and ladies abroad to turn the page of the past and get to know us again from today. We are the best people in China, and we in China also have something that makes us confident. ”

The tirade ended with a high shout, and after the speech was stopped, the entire pier seemed to stand still, and only Chen Liqing and his phalanx, a thousand-strong man, stood neatly and high-spirited in place for these foreigners to watch. And Chen Liqing and his group also tried their best to keep calm, not squinting, holding their heads high, and in a soldier-like posture, for people to review.

Although a large part of this group is young, they also have their own self-confidence through their education at home and the backwardness they have seen in other provinces. They are the first to develop in the country, the environment in which they live is also ranked high in the country, they have undergone a more important education than most people, they have a wise young master's leadership, and they have the guidance of a well-informed young master, what is it, is it worth them to continue to feel inferior?

Of course, they also know deeply that what their young master said about the Chinese is actually only referring to themselves, and the young master is proud of them, what else is there to be inferior?

"Thank you, we are very happy to be in the UK."

After being quiet for dozens of seconds, Chen Liqing bowed slightly, and at the same time, all the personnel also bowed slightly to the people around them, and their neat and quiet movements woke everyone up.

"Papapa~"

I don't know who suddenly clapped his palms, and the whole dock gradually burst into applause. In the applause, Chen Liqing and the others saw the eyes of some Britons who seemed to bring something different. Suddenly, he smiled slightly, and got a hint of satisfaction.

"Let's go!" On behalf of the person behind him, he nodded slightly, and with a slight sound, he took the lead and walked towards the outside of the dock, and the team behind him also maintained such a posture, slowly moving towards the exit of the dock, and where he passed, some people unconsciously made way of a road.

"Thank you!"

Smiling lightly, Chen Liqing gave the most kind smile to the people who gave way, until their team strode out of the dock, the scene on the pier resumed movement, and people returned to reality. However, which scene before is lingering in everyone's minds.

After Chen Liqing's speech, the ** person on a certain boat of "real Chinese......" also received the curious eyes of many people next to him, which made this ** person have a different feeling, and I don't know how, facing the gaze of these people again, their backs were unconsciously straightened, and they also seemed to feel that after hearing this speech, they seemed to be a little bright.

"Which young master is this?"

After a long time, the two looked at each other, and one of them unconsciously asked.

"I don't know." The other person had to shake his head slightly.

"They should be in Southampton, should we go and see them?"

"Let's go check it out."

……

Chen Liqing did not know that their act of disembarking not only touched some tourists or students who were also Chinese, but their speeches were somehow discovered by reporters from the British "Times". The day after they arrived in Southampton, the London-based "Times" published an article entitled "The Rise of a New Country -- Do Chinese Want to Re-Establish Their Image?" which not only detailed and intercepted the content of Chen Liqing's speech after they got off the ship, but also mentioned that China has changed its national leader and has a new system, and the article speculated that perhaps China's reform has changed the spiritual outlook of the Chinese, and then the conversation turned around and talked about the great historical influence of the British Empire. If they hadn't opened up China's trade, how could the Chinese have changed from a backward and ignorant country to the confident, handsome, clean and civilized people they are today in just 60 years? Next to the article, there are also two pictures, one is a photo of Chen Liqing and them neatly and cleanly on the dock, and the other is a dirty picture of a Qing man with long hair and braids lying on the ground smoking opium.

The contrast between the two images, coupled with this fresh report, immediately attracted the attention of the British people. Then, before Chen Liqing and his party arrived in London, they already represented the image of the new ** in the UK. However, because of the article, more people paid attention to the great initiative of the British Empire to open up China's trade, not for their initiative, how could the ignorant Chinese have today? The complacent British couldn't help but have another slap in the face of the leaders of the time.

When they saw these reports, it was the day after Chen Liqing and their arrival in Southampton. When he learned that the Times reported on them, he was still a little happy, but after reading the article, Chen Liqing was more depressed. He finally spent so much effort, and he was still considered to represent the image of the new ** now, and all the credit was given to Yuan Shikai, who had done nothing, and at the same time, the British shamelessly attributed their changes to the Opium War back then, which is really special nonsense!

Chen Liqing was simply angry and helpless.

But there's no way, who said that now he doesn't have a prefix that can be put on the table, the Great Southwest Political Axe? That might be a few years away.

It's time to find them an organization!

Seeing that the things he got out actually made wedding dresses for others, Chen Liqing also made up his mind when he smiled helplessly, and the company was going to open quickly. Their image can't be given to Yuan Shikai for nothing.

So in the following time, after Chen Liqing learned some specific situations in Southampton, he headed for London accompanied by Lawrence. (To be continued.) )
