The four words "sick man of East Asia" were first coined by the British, and the original English sentence is "Sick man of East Asia". In the early translations, there were various expressions, such as the sick man of the East, the sick man of East Asia, the sick man of the East, and so on.

In fact, there is also a word in the West that is "Sick man of Europe", which can be translated as the sick man of Europe, which refers to Ottoman Turkey, and this "sick man of Europe" appeared even earlier than "Sick man of East Asia".

In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, there were many people in China who smoked opium, these people were yellow and thin, and their bodies were like hemp rods, and they were indeed sick "sick men", so the earliest Chinese liked to use the word "sick man" to laugh at themselves, even Lu Xun, Chen Zhongfu and others also used titles such as "sick country" and "sick man". It is also because of this title that many intellectuals who studied abroad in the early days chose medicine, hoping to change the dilemma of the "sick man" in old China.

But foreigners like to use the term "sick man of East Asia" to insult Chinese.

There is a saying that "hitting people does not slap their faces, and scolding people does not expose their shortcomings". When the term "sick man of East Asia" first appeared, it meant that the ancient people looked sick, but if you call Chinese "sick man of East Asia" all day long, it is a deliberate insult.

At least when Masao Yamazaki said the words "the sick man of East Asia", no one at the scene felt that he was stating the facts.

Those who can afford to go to private schools are the children of wealthy families, and there are no smokers among them, let alone a sick man with a yellow face and thin muscles and a body like a hemp rod!

The four words "the sick man of East Asia" seemed to be a slap in the face of everyone.

At this moment, the anger of everyone around him was instantly ignited. The students of Fudan High School all stared at Masao Yamazaki with murderous eyes.

And Masao Yamazaki seemed to be familiar with the sharp eyes around him, and he pointed to himself first: "I, among the Japanese, am not happy!" ”

Then Masao Yamazaki pointed at Deng Zhiguo again: "You, among the Chinese, fast." ”

Masao Yamazaki then pointed at himself again: "I'm faster than you." You Chinese are too bad, the sick man of East Asia! ”

"What does he mean?" Wang Changshou asked in a low voice.

Chen Qiang next to him understood, and he opened his mouth to explain: "What the Japanese mean is that he is not fast among the Japanese, and Deng Zhiguo is fast among the Chinese, he runs faster than Deng Zhiguo, that is to say, the Japanese run faster than the Chinese, so the Chinese are the sick man of East Asia." ”

"This Japanese owe a beating!" Wang Changshou already had the urge to go up and beat people.

Masao Yamazaki looked around with a provocative gaze: "You, don't admit defeat, challenge me, 100 meters." ”

This time Wang Changshou also understood, Yamazaki Masao meant, if you Chinese do not admit defeat, then come and challenge me, and compete in the 100-meter dash again.

"Challenge is a challenge, I'm afraid you won't succeed!" Some in the crowd were already jumping on the bandwagon.

However, Masao Yamazaki went on to say: "You challenge, you lose, kneel down and say, East Asian sick man!" ”

Masao Yamazaki means that it is okay to challenge, but if you lose, you have to kneel down and admit that you are the sick man of East Asia!

As soon as this sentence came out, those who were eager to try it before were suddenly stunned.

"Damn!" Some of the students around clenched their fists, and the green tendons on their foreheads were exposed, obviously angry to the extreme!

Get down on your knees and admit that you're the sick man of East Asia? Who can stand this kind of insult.

Chinese pay attention to men with gold under their knees, and they will not kneel down easily. In Confucian culture, you can kneel down in heaven, earth, king, relatives, and teachers, and in religious cultures such as Buddhism and Taoism, you can kneel to the gods, and there is nothing else to kneel.

However, the Japanese have a unique "kneeling culture", in which they kneel when they make mistakes, ask others to do things, apologize to others, and even kneel when they greet others.

Anyone who has watched "Naoki Hanzawa" knows that no matter the protagonist's supporting role in it, people have to kneel at every turn, the protagonist kneels, the supporting role kneels, villain A kneels, villain B kneels, and the people who are asked to kneel are really kneeling. Before World War II, the system of respect and inferiority in Japanese society was stricter, and there were more occasions to kneel.

Of course, the Chinese will apologize to people and ask people to do things, but they will not kneel unless they have to. Those authors who shout "kneeling for recommendation tickets", "kneeling for monthly tickets", "kneeling for subscriptions", and "kneeling for rewards" every day, how can they really kneel? It's all about fooling you readers!

Based on cultural differences, Masao Yamazaki's phrase "kneeling down to admit the sick man of East Asia" may seem to him to be just a way for the victors to show off.

And for the Chinese, this is an unacceptable insult!

It is precisely because this is an unacceptable insult that when Masao Yamazaki's voice fell, the surroundings became silent, no one dared to come out to challenge Masao Yamazaki, no one spoke, and even when Masao Yamazaki looked around with a provocative gaze, no one dared to look at Masao Yamazaki.

Are the students of Fudan High School around them numb?

No, they're afraid of losing!

Masao Yamazaki can run a 100-meter time of 12.8 seconds, and no one in the entire Fudan High School is his opponent, even Deng Zhiguo, who runs the fastest, has to admit that Masao Yamazaki is faster than himself.

Whoever challenges Masao Yamazaki will usher in a must-lose result.

What happens if you lose?

Get down on your knees and admit that you're the sick man of East Asia?

No one wants to accept such an insult! Whoever did such a thing would want to commit suicide in shame! How will you gain a foothold in Fudan High School in the future? He will be nailed to the pillar of shame in Fudan history!

So everyone can only keep their heads down and avoid Masao Yamazaki's gaze as much as possible, as if they are afraid of being named by Masao Yamazaki.

They can only endure such embarrassing humiliation, watching their dignity being trampled on, watching the dignity of the motherland being trampled on!

There is no way, the country is weak, and it can only be bullied by others, even if it is bullied to the head, and if you want to resist, you have no capital to resist.

Insulted personality? Dignity trampled on? I can only endure it!

Because the skills are not as good as others!

However, in the crowd watching the battle, there were people who really couldn't bear it!

That's Chen Qiang!

He looked at Masao Yamazaki coldly.

The sick man of East Asia?

No, we're not!

In Chen Qiang's time, the Chinese had already taken off the hat of "the sick man of East Asia"!

In Chen Qiang's time, China was a world-class sports power!

In Chen Qiang's era, the Chinese held the Olympic Games and won 51 gold medals, which is the first in the world!

In Chen Qiang's time, many sports even had to limit the strength of the Chinese by changing the rules!

In Chen Qiang's time, no one in the world would say that the Chinese were the sick men of East Asia!

The title of "The Sick Man of East Asia" is really too harsh for Chen Qiang!

When everyone was silent, Chen Qiang decided to stand up.

For Chen Qiang, he didn't want to stand up, he was not a student of Fudan High School, he was just a precarious newsboy, he didn't want to be that bird!

But Chen Qiang knew that he had to stand up now.

There are some things that must be guarded!

Such as dignity! The dignity of the Chinese!

……

"You guys? Challenge me? Can't? The sick man of East Asia! Haha......" Masao Yamazaki was already grinning.

The laughter was wild and arrogant.

"I'm here to challenge you!" A voice suddenly sounded, in the quiet crowd, like thunder on the ground!

Masao Yamazaki's voice stopped abruptly and looked in the direction of the sound.

Everyone's eyes were on that direction.

Chen Qiang walked through the crowd and strode onto the runway.

I'll fool you with a mouthpiece, and kneel down to beg for a recommendation ticket!
