Chapter 163: This Must Be an Illusion
During the program, the on-site reporter continued to ...... in the interview
"Now I'm interviewing Professor Andrew from the UK."
"Hello Professor Andrew. Did you know that there is a phenomenon of double standards in the field of historiography? ”
"It can't be, right? Hehe. ”
"What do you think of a Chinese historian who accuses Western historians of practicing double standards and discriminating against Chinese civilization?"
"Uh...... Sorry, I don't know about this. Professor Andrew's face slowly became ugly, and he already knew that the reporter was here to raise the fire.
"Then do you know how long the Chinese civilization has a long history?"
"I don't remember exactly." (chuckles)
"This is a history textbook that you wrote. Isn't the part of the world history about China written very clearly? ”
"Hmm...... I do not know! (Amid laughter, Professor Andrew runs away)
Then there was Professor Norwen from the United States.
"Hello, Professor Norwen. A Chinese historian ......"
In the camera, Professor Nuowen's face turned pale, and he was uncertain for a while, and then directly ridiculed him: "Chinese historians? Who is he? I've never heard of him at all! ”
"But ......"
Professor Norwen categorically interrupted: "Don't! Don't waste my time. I am under no obligation to answer such ridiculous, outrageous questions. (Professor Norwen walks away.) Laughter)
In the midst of laughter, the host Lai Nuo said: "See? Even I am a little confused now. The Italian: It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, a ......misunderstanding, a misunderstanding,
"British: I don't know, I don't know, I can't remember ....... Britain has always been so virtuous, they are very hypocritical, and what they are best at is pretending to be deaf and dumb. ”
(There is loud applause and whistles.) Mocking the British old, this is the political correctness of the Americans)
Leno slapped the table heavily: "So it's up to us Americans!" We're so straightforward! You nobody, who is in a position to criticize us? Fuck off! I beep and despise you——! ”
(The audience burst into laughter)
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am not afraid to say the wrong thing. I'm not afraid that the high-level people raised by my cousin will deduct my money. Although I don't know much about history, I definitely support Professor Norwen! You damn old Chinese and nameless little guy still want to criticize our American history professor? Send a Texas veteran and make an appointment with him for a cowboy duel! ”
(Laughter continues)
However, at this moment, the screen suddenly switched, and a news program began to be broadcast: "...... At present, the book "The Vast Ocean is a Casino" is selling well. According to incomplete statistics, this bestseller has topped the best-selling list in China and Hong Kong, and has also squeezed into the top of the best-selling list in the book. Sales have already exceeded a million copies! The author is angry with Brother Yuan, who has become the hottest author of historical works in the Far East......"
(Laughter)
Leno had an embarrassed expression: "This ...... This must be an illusion! ”
(Amid the laughter, there are boos and whistles...... )
"When the ad comes back, please continue to enjoy 'The Tonight Show.'"
(Warm applause continues)
……
After the show aired, it unsurprisingly received high ratings. And also contributed a lot of jokes to American society.
In fact, in the show, the host Lai Nuo is humorous and not scathing, and does not make any judgments. In the final analysis, "The Tonight Show" is not focused on this, this is a talk show.
The same is true for the vast majority of the audience, who are trying to have fun with haha.
Of all the humorous elements, the authority figure ruining his image in front of the audience is definitely a big laugh. So those history professors were embarrassed in public, which made the audience very happy. But that's it after laughing. No one takes it seriously!
As for the truth of the incident? Truth be told, few people really care. After all, the study of history is so far away from the lives of ordinary people that it is almost impossible for ordinary people to come into contact with it.
However, when the show was successful, it seemed like a basin of ice water in hot oil, and the entire European and American historiography circles immediately fried the pot.
There is one thing to say, objectivity and fairness, that is the talisman of history. If it leads to public suspicion, it will be a devastating blow to the entire historiographical community.
An unpopular subject like history does not have much funding for research on weekdays. Occasionally, there will be a few patrons, but the patrons also need you to be objective and impartial?
To put it mildly, even if your patrons ask you to falsify historical materials, at least you must find "objective and fair" historians. Otherwise, how can those pseudo-histories be believed by the public?
For example, the folk history created by the stick later, Confucius was Korean or something?
It should be admitted that the real historians in China are still relatively rigorous in their studies, and they will generally never say anything. But can't stand those pig players in the civil department?
Later, as long as there is historical research on the stick, whether it is true or not, the outside world is full of doubts, and only the stick is left in the country to laugh at itself?
This is actually a devastating blow. The historiography of the stick country has been almost completely abolished? Without credibility, what results will be in vain? It will even spread to other disciplines, no matter what scientific research results, as long as it is a stick scientist, you must be suspicious first?
It's like a joke like a "cosmic power". Behind this, not to mention that there is no face, how much loss will there be in economic interests alone?
But then again, it's good that the cosmic people are happy!
Therefore, the hit of "The Tonight Show" immediately affected the reputation of the entire European and American historiography.
Of course, "The Tonight Show" will never pay attention to any accidental injury. Take a step back, you fat people who study history are not even qualified to be our guests on the show, so let's honestly provide jokes!
In this case, the European and American historiographers are like ants on a hot pot, and they immediately launched a self-rescue operation.
Led by the National Historical Association, Professor Norwin and other directors of the association came forward, and finally invited various media to hold a grand press conference:
“…… We strongly condemn the heinous acts of certain individuals. In our historical research, we have always adhered to the ......"
“…… We have sent a letter of protest to our Chinese counterparts in the hope that they will stop this outrageous rumor-mongering and slander......"
“…… We do not rule out legal action to maintain our right to reputation......"
“…… For some of the academic disagreements in historical research, it is a matter of detail. We still hope to discuss the solution through professional academic conferences. I don't want to be reduced to some kind of hype tool......"
“…… Double standards in academic research have never existed or occurred. And we are categorically opposed to this practice......"
“……”
At the end of the press conference, in front of the media reporters, Professor Norwen said very sincerely: "...... For that Chinese scholar, we still hope to deepen exchanges and eliminate misunderstandings. We can send out an invitation, and I and all the professors here can vouch for him to become a visiting scholar at an American university......"
“……”
Hearing this, the reporters below were all dumbfounded. Is this the toughest tone to say the most cowardly? Are you still shameless people who study history? What about our American cowboy spirit?
We love to see you fighting! Fight! Fight!
