beautiful chinese

"Ikebukuro West Exit Park" is a Japanese animation that explores the realities of today's society in depth, based on Ishida's novel; one episode is about the Chinese in Japan. Many people in the cartoon comment area said that the screenwriter was insulting China, because the women who were squeezed by capital wanted to be adopted by the Japanese.

After I finished laughing, I was confused when I remembered the status and purpose of the Chinese. Having lived outside the mainland for a long time, I can feel that the Chinese are labeled as "low-end population" in many countries. And the Chinese living abroad don't like to argue with reason, and after becoming a navy in the comment area, they continue to think about how to make money.

In the framework of Western humanism, many non-Chinese hope to help these drifting Chinese, but often fail in the end. Because the latter's original place of origin may be too poor, so no matter how "educated" they are in the new place, they will not meet some Western (Japanese) standards.

And in Dubai, I found that a lot of people treated me a lot better than this kind of [sticker] or [just come and redeem me]. At first I thought it was because I had money to spend? Later, it was discovered that it was also the common consciousness and efforts of the Chinese here, which made the group's image and reputation not bad. Even if there are a few unruly Chinese, they will soon be eliminated or even eradicated in such a conservative atmosphere of economy and culture. The United Arab Emirates, the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, is of course all the tigers and dragons of various countries, as well as their starters. Unlike in some Western countries, people who are excluded may still be able to receive government benefits. But the overall image may be labelled "dirty" by the increasingly conservative atmosphere.

Over time, living in the West, I occasionally feel inferior, and I also want to take the sword and find someone to scold me. Knowing that I was full of hostility, I chose to retreat in the United States, and I was about to become a mediocre person. But in Dubai, I saw the other side of things. In addition to the Chinese, there are many people here to make money, live, and raise the next generation, and will think that the Chinese in the new era are superior. Sitting on the subway, black women would look at me curiously, probably learning how to dress and how to behave. Sitting in the taxi, Pakistani drivers will take the initiative to chat, mentioning the everlasting friendship between China and Pakistan. As more and more mixed-race children are featured in mainland entertainment programs, attentive audiences have also discovered that Chinese is not only an identity of ancestry and appearance, but also includes many cultural rules and physical disciplines.

In the past, after being influenced by the atmosphere of Western liberalism, I also hoped to help the "low-end population" become a better person. During the epidemic, I was occasionally worried about the Chinese restaurants that closed one after another. But I also slowly realized that those who help Chinese restaurants also have their own goals. In Dubai, I saw that some companies recruited people of specific nationalities to apply, and a Chinese hot pot restaurant recruiting tips said: Any nationality is acceptable. In addition to being moved, I also thought: there is no need to worry too much, the strong have their own way of survival.

This year, I read a saying from a monk, saying: Compassion without wisdom is just stupid, compassionate, and hypocritical. Indian comedian Vir Das joked about this: No one in India is as serious as Bai Zuo because of privileges. After all, the richest people also have envious people, and the worst people in writing can find people who are worse than themselves. .

Before, I may really know too little about the history of the Chinese as a whole, and not much about my own family. I even hoped to "help" people in the family. They laughed at my state of mind. Maybe I should thank them for not inflicting the tragedies of my past, letting me do things for the heavens, etc. I have been able to live safely until now, thanks to these generous elders. The "open" appearance and conservative internal mechanism they strive to maintain - rich people will naturally be high-end, and those without money will naturally be low-end. After eating enough, more things can wait until the next life.
