On a business trip in Beijing today, a Sichuanese asked me where I came from. I said I was from Zibo, and Sichuanese said.

Your hometown, Zibo, belongs to North China instead of Northeast China.

This small hometown in Sichuan may have been mixed up in the society for many years and forgotten the geographical knowledge he had learned before. This is also normal. Many junior and middle school geography students don't pay attention to it, so it's not easy to learn. You don't have to take it to heart. Although people's overall cultural literacy is high, there are still some people who study less, especially some rural children.
