Fog Era

In a small fast food restaurant, Shi Tiexin and Principal Liu sit opposite each other.

Principal Liu looked at Shi Tiexin’s calm face, and after a moment of silence, he took the lead in opening the topic: “Iron Xin, it stands to reason that at your age, there are some things I shouldn’t tell you. But I don’t think you are a person. Ordinary teenagers, in terms of temperament, ability, method of doing things, and where you stand, all make me feel that there are things I can say to you, and I should say to you too."

Shi Tiexin Picking up a hamburger, he took a big bite: "But it's okay."

"Okay." After considering it for a while, Principal Liu slowly said: "I want to come to the recent storm that has caused you a lot of trouble. , But have you ever wondered, what is the reason for this kind of thing?"

"I didn’t do something right by myself, and there are villains outside." Shi Tiexin said seriously: "I won’t do it again. The mistake."

He believes that Principal Liu is admonishing him to prevent him from violating the rules of social operation. Shi Tiexin himself has already reflected a lot on this point. He decided to use rhetoric in the future if he can use rhetoric. It is not clear if he can play yin. This is the rule of survival in this world.

It's like the method Principal Liu used to fish him out. It is silent, but the effect is extraordinary. This is a power he has never seen in the main world line, and today can be regarded as an eye-opener.

But Principal Liu shook his head: "No, not only."

"oh?" Shi Tiexin was a little surprised: "Please enlighten me."

" To make things smaller, it’s just that you acted inappropriately and were taken by others. The core essence of this matter is not here. You have to look at and think about this matter in a bigger light.” Principal Liu looked at Shi Tiexin said with piercing eyes: "Do you know why so many classmates supported you when the police came to take you?"

Shi Tiexin shook his head honestly: "I don't know. Apart from the charm of personality, I can't think of it. Other answers."

"That's because I have never won an Olympic medal in Donghua Country, not once." Principal Liu said with a serious expression, "Sports performance, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Just don’t care. But saying it’s important is also really important, because it represents the strength of the country to a certain extent, and it will greatly affect the self-confidence and self-worth identity of a country or a nation."

"Donghua country is poor and weak. It has been more than ten years since the founding of the country. Donghua country is indeed developing, but its citizens have also contacted the outside world and the world, and found that the international community is better than us. Stronger, much stronger."

"Since participating in the Olympics, there hasn’t been a single medal. This is evidence of the weakness of the poor in Donghua country. It is also the pain of the people of Donghua country, and it breeds some at home and abroad. The argument of'ethnic inferiority'."

"Some overseas guys with ulterior motives and unconcerned mouths, condescending and ostentatious, think that the East Chinese are all sick men in East Asia, and that we are born in the race. Not as good as theirs. What makes people sad is that there are also some people in Donghua who hold the words of foreigners as the golden rule and advocate the same argument."

Principal Liu pointed to the dining table: "Look at your hands. Burger, look at its price."

Shi Tiexin took a look at the price and was surprised: "So expensive? This little steamed bun with meat can catch up with a roast chicken. !"

"Expensive. Two noodles, one fried meat, plus a small piece of lettuce leaves, the low-cost one doesn’t even cost one twentieth of the price, so it’s the least Worth the consumption." Principal Liu pointed to all around: "But you look at all around again, are there many people?"

Many people?

It's more than crowded. There is a long line of people taking meals, and there are still people who can't find a place to sit, so they can only stand aside and wait for a seat.

Principal Liu is like a few treasures: "Today there are a total of 12 foreign brands of fast food restaurants in Jinling, and every one of them is so popular. People who are near and far come in cars, take buses, and walk along the road. Come, men, women and children squeeze in frantically. Are they here to experience the food? Foreign food is really more delicious?"

Shi Tiexin persuasively said: "It is definitely not unpalatable. It’s unpalatable, but if you want to say it’s delicious, I have a lot of better choices."

"Yes." Principal Liu nodded vigorously: "I don’t rule out that I really think this thing is better. People who eat, but in my personal opinion, I think that a large part of the diners do not come for'eat'."

"They do it for a feeling."

"A sense of being able to distinguish oneself from an ordinary person by driving a foreign car and eating a foreign meal, making it stronger than others."

Shi Tiexin thinks carefully. Said: "This is normal, everyone has this kind of psychological appeal. Even me, I don't need to show off one's military strength, I don't need to show off, but I must be better than others."

Pretending to be force is a basic human need, which is understandable.

"It’s a good thing for a man to be eager to win. I don’t refute this mentality. It is such is human nature to strive for victory. But what worries me is the trend of thought behind this-why eat one Does a foreign meal mean you are better than others?” Principal Liu asked seriously: “Isn’t roast chicken fragrant? Isn’t hot pot tasty? Or are the chefs of the big restaurant unable to lift the knife?”

Shi Tiexin was taken aback, he really didn't think about this issue.

"People spend twenty times the price to eat foreign fast food, to put it bluntly, to show off. The premise of this show is that they, and even a considerable part of the whole society, have acquiesced in eating. Foreign fast food is indeed a powerful, remarkable and worthy of showing off."

"This is a group consensus that needs no explanation."

"And behind this consensus It represents that the public widely believe that foreign countries are indeed powerful and foreign things are indeed good. Foreign countries are a symbol of development, superiority, advancement and perfection."

"Iron heart, Donghua people are not confident."

p>

"They believe in foreigners more than they believe in themselves."

"People yearn for foreign countries and worship foreigners. That's why they spend so much money on this thing. I think even if it's just one thing. A foreigner’s meal can also make you feel better."

"Similarly, people think that what foreigners say is right, so when the World Record Committee does not accept our score applications, Before the anger, they doubted themselves and questioned their own people. So after a foreign show talk nonsense on a foreign show, so many people will act high and mighty due to the words of a superior."

"They don't care what level these foreign fast foods are in foreign countries!"

"They don't care what that nonsense old clapper is!"

"Foreigners eat awesome!"

"Foreigners say the truth!"

The more and more Principal Liu speaks, the more his usual elegance is lost. Swearing: "What kind of shit is these all are!"
