Chapter 1204 Playing dirty is also a science

"Malicious infiltration of Western superiority consciousness? Li Ye, aren't you going too far?"

"That's right! Lions and tigers are both kings of beasts, so it's possible that either one is more powerful, right?"

"."

Li Ye's words aroused doubts from Li Dayong, Jiang Xiaoyan and Sun Xianjin.

Although Li Ye has been instilling in them the awareness of "being vigilant against the infiltration of foreign cultures", and they also agree with Li Ye's opinion, they feel that it is really a bit groundless to talk about tigers and lions.

But Li Ye asked in a deep voice: "Have you ever seen a lion and a tiger fight? Or is there an accurate and authoritative report of a lion and a tiger fighting?"

"This"

Li Dayong and others hesitated. Even in the zoo, lions and tigers would not meet each other. How could ordinary people like them possibly see them fighting?
Li Ye continued to ask: "Have you ever heard of the saying 'a tiger cannot beat a lion'?"

The three of them were stunned again, and then they said, "I've heard of this before."

“I’ve heard that, too.”

“I think I’ve heard of that, too.”

"Look, you've all heard about it, right?" Li Ye smiled and said, "Then think carefully about when you heard this kind of talk?"

Jiang Xiaoyan and the other two fell into deep thought.

After a moment, Jiang Xiaoyan said solemnly: "It seems to be in recent years, the earliest should be when I was in college."

“Yes, in recent years.”

Sun Xianjin and Li Dayong also expressed their agreement.

Li Ye spread his hands and said, "Look, there is no substantial evidence that a tiger cannot beat a lion, but you all unknowingly agree with this view. So how did this spread so widely?"

All three of them fell silent.

Everything has its cause, and everything that happens in the world has its reasons.

If you want to promote a large-scale "hot search", there must be interests involved on one side.

"You three are all very insightful. If there were no interests involved, how could such talk spread in our land? We don't produce lions here. Lions come from tributes from outsiders, and then the emperor uses them as guard animals."

"But what about the tiger?"

Li Ye said calmly: "The tiger has always been our king of beasts. Our elite troops in every dynasty have been called the Flying Tiger Army and the Tiger Guard Army. The tiger has been a symbol of bravery and strength for thousands of years. Isn't that right?"

Jiang Xiaoyan and others nodded one after another and entered a humble listening mode.

"Westerners worship lions. Many flags and family emblems of Western royal families and nobles have lion patterns. The lion is the king of beasts in the West."

"So in recent years, there has suddenly been a saying that the King of Beasts in the East cannot defeat the King of Beasts in the West. Shouldn't you be suspicious of this?

And if you think about it carefully, similar comparisons also occur in other aspects.

Xianyang Terracotta Warriors and Horses, a cultural relic of this scale, is only ranked eighth in the world. Does the underlying meaning mean that we in the East are far inferior to the West? " "Just wait and see! In the next few decades, all kinds of superior Western things will appear, and everything in our flower-growing country will be denounced as worthless. Even our history will be despised by them."

"This is an all-round cultural war. If we don't stay alert, perhaps in 20 years, we will unknowingly agree with the label of 'inferior race' that they put on us, and the label of 'sick man of East Asia' may return again."

The strong Li Dayong said in surprise: "This is impossible? We are not the sick man of East Asia."

"We are certainly not the sick man of Asia,"

Li Ye asked coldly: "But I ask you, have you ever heard of the argument that the strength of yellow people is completely incomparable to that of white and black people? Yellow skin itself represents unhealthiness?"

Li Dayong was stunned for a moment, then stammered, "I think I've heard of it."

Jiang Xiaoyan also frowned and said: "I seem to have heard of it, but we yellow people have better coordination and are more agile."

"Look, you've already subconsciously accepted the statement that we're not strong enough, right? Then why can our weightlifters win gold medals?"

Sun Xianjin's face had turned gloomy: "I also felt this kind of malice when I was in Moscow, but I know that Li Ye, you can beat ten people alone, so we yellow-skinned people are not inferior at all."

Li Ye said in a deep voice: "We, the Flower Growers, have never been afraid of a war with real swords and guns. We will persist in fighting no matter how many people die. However, this kind of subtle influence in the dark is really hard to guard against."

When many of us begin to hate our skin and hair color, and think that blond hair and white skin are more noble, is our sense of national pride still there? "

"When we believe that the cultural history of the West is older and more advanced than the history of our flower-growing country, how much sense of belonging and identity do you have left for this land?"

"."

Li Dayong, Jiang Xiaoyan and Sun Xianjin were all stunned.

They knew that Li Ye highly respected the civilization and history of the Flower-Growing Family, so when Li Ye first mentioned "infiltration of Western consciousness", they thought it was an overreaction by Li Ye.

But now that I think about it carefully, I feel a little terrified.

Because now is the time when a large number of Run people are scrambling to join the Western civilized world. Everyone thinks that the mainland is backward and ignorant, while the West is advanced and superior. Even many people who have foreign nationality cards will proudly show off in the mainland that "I am a foreigner."

It would be fine if the West were really so superior, but they just make up a series of random lies and constantly PUA those nations with a longer history and are more superior than them.

Seeing that the three friends all looked solemn and depressed, Li Ye sighed and said, "Let me tell you a joke!

"Let me give you an example. If you give me a fulcrum, I can move the earth. You have all heard this, right?
But Archimedes lived more than 200 years before Christ. How did he know that the earth is a sphere?

If there were works proving that the earth is spherical before Christ, then what would Magellan have to do with it? Even when Copernicus and Bruno were burned to death, why didn’t they cry out for injustice? "

Li Ye exaggeratedly imitated the expression of someone crying out for injustice: "We were all deceived by the sage Archimedes. It has nothing to do with us!"

"Hahahaha~"

The three friends burst into laughter because of Li Ye.

But then Sun Xianjin said, "You mean that Westerners are all paper tigers, so they play dirty tricks on us?"

Li Ye shook his head and said helplessly: "Playing dirty is also a science, and it often has unexpected results."
