What is the difference between China people and foreigners?

Landlord, there is only one in China, and there are more than 100 abroad. Which country do you want to compare with? /kloc-more than 0/00 countries is better. According to language habits, I define you as a westerner who is more European and American. The answer is as follows:

Luo Su's Views on the Character of China People

Westerners have a saying that China people are incredible and full of mysterious thoughts, which is hard for us to understand. If you go to China,

My long life experience in China may also make me hold this view. However, according to my teaching experience in that country.

From what I have seen and heard, I have not found any trace to prove that this argument is correct. I talk to people in China just like I talk to people in England.

China people talk, and they answer me like an Englishman and an China. China people are well-educated, smart and clever.

Wisdom. I don't believe the myth that "orientals are insidious" at all. I am sure that in this game of mutual deception, an Englishman

Nine times out of ten, an American or an American will defeat an China. But when many quite poor China people and rich white people

When people do business, such activities are often beneficial to only one of them. There is no doubt that white people are cheated, and China.

Only a fatuous bureaucrat like London can do this.

One of the most admirable qualities of China people is their ability to grasp the feelings of foreigners. Whether traveling to China.

Yes, I lived there for many years. Almost all foreigners like China people. Despite the alliance between Britain and Japan,

But I can't think of any Englishman who lives alone in the Far East who loves the Japanese as much as he loves China. Only those

Only those who live in it for a long time can get their own views and standards. When you first arrived in China, you must be obvious there.

I was shocked to see the disadvantages: hordes of beggars, amazing poverty, rampant diseases, social chaos and political corruption. Everyone has justice.

The feeling of westerners, without exception, strongly expects China people to get rid of these drawbacks first. China naturally needs reform.

However, China people, even those who could have avoided being unfortunate victims, show such enthusiasm for foreigners.

Show indifference and insensitivity. They are just waiting for the foam of soda water to disappear by itself, waiting for it.

China's current disadvantages will disappear by itself. And this blind wait-and-see attitude has gradually affected the confusion outside.

China tourists. After a burst of resentment, they began to doubt that their initial belief was

No, it's right. Is it really wise to always be wary of the possibility of misfortune? Give up existing happiness and think all the time.

Is it prudent that disaster may come at some time? Our life should not be to build a building that can never be

Living in a mirage?

China people have no answers to these questions, so they can tolerate poverty, disease and corruption. However, as a couple,

Self-compensation for these shortcomings, China people maintain the ability to enjoy civilization. They often entertain themselves and take them to bask in the sun.

Music and discussion philosophy. This is not available in industrialized countries. China people, including people from all walks of life, know better than I do.

All ethnic groups like to joke. They look for fun in everything and always use jokes to ease disputes.

I remember that on a hot summer day, a group of us sat in sedan chairs and were carried over mountains and mountains. The road is rugged and steep.

. These coolies carrying sedan chairs are very hard. When the journey reached the top of the mountain, we asked them to stop and rest for ten minutes.

. They immediately took out their pipes and talked and laughed as if they were indifferent to everything in the world. If anywhere else,

Countries, as long as a little calculating people will complain about this hot weather in this case, and ask for an increase in tips.

At that time, we were worried about whether the car was waiting for us at the designated place. Meeting rich people in China will open your eyes.

Explore the sky carefully: whether the stars, sun and moon of the universe rotate in a circle or run in a straight line; One-time completion

Is the philosopher of beauty completely devoted to himself, or sometimes considers his own interests?

Occasionally, I will meet some white people who are blinded and confused by illusions. They were deluded by an illusion that China was.

In an uncivilized country, such people just forget the elements of civilization. There are no trams in Beijing, and the lights are very good.

Backwardness is a fact; But there are many charming and beautiful places in Beijing, which are still well preserved.

It should also be true that Europe wants to dig coal troughs from these places. Educated people in China are good at writing.

More yes, poetry is fu, but it is not good at remembering everything in the world that can be easily found in the Turkish Yearbook. one

When Europeans recommend places to stay for tourists, they often tell you that it is convenient to go there by train, because for Europeans,

When choosing a place of residence, it is most important to consider the convenience of transportation. However, people in China don't talk about trains.

Not to mention, even if you ask, he will answer irrelevant questions. What he happily tells you is that there is an ancient imperial camp.

This palace was built by a famous poet who was worried about the world in Tang Dynasty. That's the way to write it.

Different horizons and viewpoints are mistaken for uncivilized by western Europeans.

China people, from high-ranking officials and dignitaries to ordinary people, have a kind of indifferent and restrained dignity, even if they are educated in Europe.

People with European culture and education will not lose this characteristic. China people, whether individuals or the whole nation, are very humble.

Their pride comes from confidence. They admit that China's army is not as strong as foreign troops, but China people think the country is strong.

Greatness mainly comes from the quality of people or nations. I think China people think from the bottom of their hearts that their country is the greatest in the world.

The most civilized country, and westerners can't accept this because the criteria for judgment are completely different. However, China people's this

This view is gradually considered by westerners to be at least not absurd, because their respective values are different and their conclusions will be different.

Same. Typical westerners want to cause as many changes as possible in their environment; Typical China people want all this.

It may be an increasingly luxurious enjoyment. This personality difference between westerners and China people is in sharp contrast.

We westerners advocate "progress", but it is an ethical cover-up for our desire for environmental change. if

Someone asked me, have machines really improved the world? This question will make our answer incoherent: machines will.

It has brought great changes to the world, so it has made great progress in the world. We are sure that nine times out of ten.

Westerners who advocate "progress", the so-called hobby "progress" is actually a hobby of power and likes to act according to their own subjective will.

Willing to make things change and different. In pursuit of this happiness, an American YMCA will work hard when he

When he became a millionaire, he became a victim of indigestion and was forced to live on toast and boiled water. He is building

On many occasions of entertaining guests, I can only act as a bystander in the face of mountains and seas. Nevertheless, he still

I will console myself that he can control politics and start or stop wars according to his investment needs. It is precisely this unique temperament.

, make the western nation "enterprising".

Of course, there are ambitious people in China, but they are not as common as in the West. Their ambitions and

Ambition takes a different form from the West-it is not superior to the West. They enjoy power through preference.

A form of. It is this rampant greed that has caused China people to change from strong to weak. Money means it can bring happiness, so

China people regard money as the object of strong desire. For us westerners, people are eager for money and just regard it as a struggle.

A tool to seize power. Politicians pursue power rather than money, so they are often satisfied with their poor lives.

Live. In China, the bureaucrats in power almost always use their power to satisfy their only desire-to plunder large sums of money.

. Their main purpose is to escape abroad with huge wealth at an appropriate time and enjoy their old age. Actually, it was lost after fleeing.

Power means nothing to them. Obviously, the social disaster caused by China politicians is limited to their jurisdiction.

Within the range of. However, our western governments are not. In order to monopolize the election, we will not hesitate to harm our own interests.

For the benefit of everyone in the world.

The damage caused by corruption and chaos in China's political arena is far less terrible than we thought. We westerners call it "Gao"

Efficiency "government, especially the Japanese government's pursuit of predatory desire of big countries, has brought more disasters than China.

Much more. The actions of most modern governments are harmful. Therefore, the worse they do, the better the effect will be. auxiliary power unit

In China, the government is lazy, corrupt and ignorant, but there is a certain degree of personal freedom. This kind of personal freedom is unique in other parts of the world.

The country has been lost,

China's laws are as imperfect as those of other countries. Sometimes, some people are very influential abroad because of Bolshevism.

Prison under pressure, just as he will suffer the same fate in Britain and America. But this situation is rare; Ordinary reality

In international life, there are few cases that interfere with the freedom of speech and the press, just like a European is beautiful from 19 14.

China people have enjoyed the same personal freedom since 19 17. A China person will not feel the pressure of going with the flow. mankind

Scientists still just need to be like themselves and not worry about the consequences after the conclusion is published. Individualism in the West

It has been abandoned, but it still exists in China. This has both good and bad aspects. Every working people in China.

, more or less maintained self-esteem and personal dignity, which is only a few financial oligarchs in the west.

China people's "saving face" often makes foreigners in China feel ridiculous. However, China people only want the truth.

Personal dignity consistent with their social lifestyle. Everyone should "face", even the lowest social status.

So are beggars. If you don't want to seriously violate the moral standards of China people, don't embarrass him, otherwise.

You're humiliating him. If you talk to a China person in a way that violates the rules of Taoism in China, he will certainly laugh.

You; If China people don't want to regard your behavior as offensive, then your words will be regarded as a joke by them.

Once, I felt that some students I taught didn't work as hard as I thought, just like I used to treat my English students.

I talked about some opinions. But I soon found myself making a mistake. These students all laughed uncomfortably. I feel it.

I was surprised, and then I figured out why. China people, even the most civilized people, are far ahead of us westerners.

Be polite. But this habit is not conducive to improving efficiency, and what is more serious is not conducive to establishing sincerity between people.

Real relationship. If I were from China, I would like to reduce the pain caused by superficial politeness. But, China

People have developed a gentle attitude because of being bullied by western powers. The courtesy of China people and us westerners.

I'm not sure which one, for example, is better or worse.

In the eyes of an Englishman, it is a characteristic of China people to like to compromise and give in to the pressure of public opinion. rarely

A conflict developed into a riot. The treatment of the Manchu emperor can be taken as a good example. In the west, country one

Once a Republic, people always cut off the head of the deposed monarch, or at least exile him abroad. To the emperor of China.

The emperor still retains the title of emperor, a magnificent palace, a large number of eunuchs, and an annual salary of 9 million. Puyi now

He is sixteen years old and lives a quiet and comfortable life in the Forbidden City. In a civil war, he nominally recovered for a few days, but

He was overthrown again, and he was not punished for the restoration.

In China, public opinion is a very powerful force. 1920 the collapse of the "Anfu congress" used by Beiyang warlords.

Blame it on public pressure. This Congress is pro-Japanese and accepts Japanese loans. The gnashing hatred of the Japanese is in the middle.

The most powerful and extensive political passion of China people. The movement against the "welfare society" is propaganda for students.

Inspired by it. At the beginning, the "Anfu Congress" had an absolute advantage in military strength, but when the enemy came to public opinion,

When I realized who I should fight for, I began to defect. Finally, the opposition entered Beijing and hardly fired a shot.

Overthrow the Anfu parliamentary government.

The influence of public opinion also played a key role in a teacher's strike struggle, which was in my hands.

I won when I left Beijing. At that time, due to corruption, the government was short of financial funds and owed teachers for several months.

Salary. Teachers were forced to petition the government peacefully with the support of students, and strongly demanded to be paid. As a result, soldiers and

The police stepped forward to suppress it, and the two sides clashed and many teachers and students were injured. Respect for teachers and respect for education are deeply rooted among the people of China.

Engraved and extensive foundation, so this matter has aroused strong social repercussions. The newspaper immediately published an article condemning the incident.

The government just got 9 million yuan of ill-gotten gains from three warlords who extorted money by force. If the government refuses teachers,

There is really no excuse for the reasonable demand of tens of thousands of yuan, so we can only yield to public opinion. I want to go to England.

In Saxon countries, it will not cause such huge social repercussions because of the interests of teachers.

Nothing surprises Europeans more than the patience of China people. Educated people in China are deeply aware that foreigners are interested in China.

The threat posed by national survival. They clearly know the Japanese aggression in Manchuria and Shandong, and they also know the aggression in Hong Kong.

The British are sparing no effort to sabotage the Guangzhou Revolution in an attempt to establish a pro-British southern government. They know that in this world

Without exception, all major countries covet China's undeveloped rich resources, especially China's coal and iron ore.

Ruler, watch, worry. The Japanese are typical examples of China people. By pursuing barbaric militarism, Japan has implemented

Strict discipline initiated a new reactionary religion and successfully curbed the greedy desire of "civilized" industrialists.

However, China people neither imitate the Japanese, nor are they willing to obey the control of foreign forces. They think about problems, not from

Decades, but centuries. They were conquered by foreigners before, first by Mongols and then by Manchus.

Nation; But in the end, the two foreign conquerors were assimilated by them. The origin of China civilization has a long history.

; After several generations, the invaders became more like China than China.

Manzhouli has a vast territory and is the hometown of immigrants. The Japanese invaded, claiming that they needed colonies to accommodate the rest of the population.

However, more people immigrated from China to Manchuria than the Japanese 100 times. No matter what the political situation in Manchuria is at this time.

In any case, it must remain a part of China civilization; Once the Japanese are in danger, Manchuria will return to China.

. The 40 million people of China have gathered into such a powerful force: indomitable national spirit and indomitable strength.

And unparalleled national cohesion. Although there is a civil war in China, it is only ostensibly noisy. China despised the enemy.

Team method, they waited until the enemy ran out of momentum and energy in the fratricidal fight before resisting.

The civilization of China is far more unified than that of China. Chinese civilization is the only one among several ancient civilizations in the world.

A civilization that has survived hardships. Since the time of Confucius, the emperors of Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Macedonia and Rome

China's civilization died out one after another, but China's civilization was maintained through constant improvement. Chinese civilization is also.

Influenced by foreign culture. From the influence of early Buddhism to that of modern western science. However, Buddhism

Didn't turn China into an Indian. Western science didn't turn them into Europeans. I met some people in China,

They are as familiar with western culture as our professors in western countries. However, they have not lost their cultural and psychological balance.

They are not divorced from their own people. They think that some bad things in the west, such as barbarism, belligerence, turmoil and bullying, are all bad things.

It is not advisable to be greedy for petty gain and pursue the goal of pure material enjoyment. There are some good things, especially the west.

Science, China people want to learn, want to adopt.

China's ancient local culture is almost dead, and culture and art are not as vibrant as they used to be, but belong to Confucius.

Confucianism can no longer meet the needs of modern China people. All China people who have been educated in Europe and America realize that they need foreigners.

New factors to revitalize traditional culture. Therefore, they began to turn to western civilization, eager to make China a traditional culture.

Get new vitality. However, they don't want to create a civilization similar to ours. They expect to open up a more rational

The road to civilization. If China people are not inspired by the martial spirit, they will certainly create a new and more brilliant martial spirit.

Civilization. This new civilization will be more fascinating than any civilization that we westerners can create now.

So far, I have mainly talked about the good character of China people; However, the Chinese nation is like any other nation in the world.

Sample, also has its bad side. I don't want to talk about the weakness of China people's character, because I have a deep connection with China people.

I deeply feel that China people are so humble, gentle and kind, and would rather talk about their good feelings. However, whether it is

It is wrong not to admit the weakness of China people's character, not out of genuine goodwill towards China, nor out of respect for facts.

Yes I only ask readers to remember that, in all fairness, I think the Chinese nation is the best nation I have ever seen in the world.

One. At the same time, I will draft a serious indictment against any foreign forces that bully China. Before I leave

Before China, a famous China writer sincerely asked me to talk about the main shortcomings of China people's character. I hesitated

I talked about three points: greed, cowardice and lack of compassion. Strange to say, the author is not angry, but

Admit that my criticism is pertinent and pertinent, and continue to discuss with me ways to cure these shortcomings. This is also reflected incisively and vividly.

It shows one of the greatest virtues of China intellectuals.

China's lack of compassion shocked all westerners. They lack the humanitarian impulse, and this impulse promotes

Let the west use 1% energy to comfort itself with the misfortune caused by 99% energy to others. For example,

We have repeatedly prohibited Austria from joining Germany and prevented them from emigrating and obtaining industrial raw materials. As a result, except for some Vienna.

Many people starved to death, except those who are willing to live on our relief. China people didn't spend energy to starve Ye Wei.

That man won't be kind and let some Viennese live. When I was in China, millions of people died of famine.

; Some people sell their children as slaves for a few dollars. If they don't get such money, they will even kill them.

These kids. Many white people do this kind of good work to help the hungry, and few people in China do it. even

Very few aid funds were also embezzled by corrupt officials. Of course, it can also be said that the reason why westerners do this is different from it.

Rather than helping the people of China, it is better to appease their conscience. As long as China's current fertility rate and agricultural producers

As usual, famine will be inevitable. Those who survived the famine on the charity of others.

Some people may find it difficult to escape in the next famine.

As long as China improves agricultural production technology, combines immigration and mass birth control, it can eliminate famine forever.

. People of insight in China realized this. Therefore, they use a simple relief method to save hunger, which is different from that of whites.

People. Most people in China have the same explanation for their lack of compassion, and so do their views on many related issues.

Tend to be consistent. But there is still a problem that I can't understand. If the dog is seriously run over by a car, nine times out of ten.

People in China on the road will stop, laugh at the poor dog's whining and have fun with it. Seeing pain itself won't

How much sympathy has been aroused among ordinary people in China. In fact, they seem to feel comfortable and happy when they see others suffering. From China.

Judging from the history and criminal code of191/years ago, China people are by no means without cruel psychological impulses, but I am not.

I have never encountered such a situation. It must be pointed out that all western powers are cruel practitioners, except us.

Westerners cover up our cruelty with hypocrisy.

Cowardice is an obvious shortcoming of China people. But I don't believe they really lack courage and greed.

Fear of death. On the battlefield, the two armies fought and both sides wanted to escape from the war. Victory belongs to the party who first discovers the other side's defeat.

But this only shows that China soldiers are smart people. Because there is no major conflict, the army is composed of mercenaries.

Composition. When the situation is serious, such as the Taiping Rebellion, it is said that the people of China are very brave and tenacious, especially

This is especially true when they have handsome soldiers. However, I think China people are compared with the British, French and Germans.

China people are not brave people. Most of the time, they only know how to passively endure. The patience of China people is rare.

Yes In the eyes of many militant ethnic groups, China people have no necessary motives, such as just refusing to tell others.

Hide stolen goods, endure torture, and even die. Although they lack the courage to fight in comparison, they are one.

We westerners are no longer afraid of death, as evidenced by their readiness to commit suicide.

Greed, in my opinion, is the greatest shortcoming of China people. Life is bitter, and it is difficult to make money. In order to get money, except for a few people who have suffered.

Except those who are well educated, many people will commit corruption. Almost all coolies will suffer for a few cents.

The danger of death. China got into trouble in the war against China, mainly because most Japanese politicians could not resist.

Bribery by the Japanese. I think this shortcoming of greed may be rooted in economic conditions. Maybe many years, personality.

Honest people suffer in life and can't get the money they need. This kind of greed will only appear when the economic situation improves.

Will decrease. I don't believe that corruption in China today is more serious than in Europe in the18th century. I have never heard of winning.

China's generals are more corrupt than Aude's, and I haven't heard that China's politician Bikadi Nardoux Bois is more corrupt.

What? Therefore, with the process of industrialization in China, China people have every hope to become as honest as we westerners. while

However, at least how honest westerners are, only we know.

As I said, most people in China are smart, competent and versatile, except that they are a little lazy and lack passion in their daily life.

However, being suspicious is only one aspect of their personality. On the other hand, China people are very enthusiastic; And often

This is a collective fanaticism. Although I seldom see it, it is undoubtedly true. The rise of the boxer movement is proof.

Understand this. China's history is more or less full of such turmoil. It is this factor in the character of China people that makes it.

They become unpredictable, even for the future of China people. You can imagine that some of them will become

An active Bolshevist, a fearless anti-Japanese savior, a crazy Christian, and a fanatical devotee to something.

A leader who finally declared himself absolute ruler. I think it is this factor in the character of China people that makes China people.

Become the most reckless adventurers in the world, even though they are always cautious. Although romantic love

In China, it was despised far more than in the West, but in the history of China, many emperors lost it because of the pursuit of romantic love.

Crown.

It is not easy to generalize the character of China people. What impresses foreigners most is that China has preserved a culture that has not been industrialized.

Ancient civilization under the influence of culture. All these ancient civilizations are likely to be oppressed by Japanese, European and American financial capitalists who invaded China.

The loss is exhausted. China's art is being destroyed and replaced by second-rate paintings that are poorly imitated in Europe. most

European-educated people in China lack aesthetic ability in their own paintings and rashly think that China did not follow them.

The perspective rule of painting.

It is difficult for tourists who have been to China to keep China's excellent cultural traditions unique. It will certainly follow industrialization.

The arrival of disappearance. However, some things can still be preserved, such as some unparalleled excellent morals of the people of China.

Quality. These excellent qualities are the most urgent needs of modern social life. Of all the moral qualities of China people,

What I admire most is their peaceful temperament, which makes local people pay more attention to equality and justice when seeking to solve disputes.

Instead of relying on strength like westerners. Of course, can China people continue to maintain their gentle and peaceful character?

It all depends on what the western powers do. If the people of China are forced to face the kind of extreme barbarism committed by the Japanese in China.

The people of China will become more fearless and self-defensive.
