There are no slogans abroad.

If you travel or go on business in a foreign country, you will find a very strange phenomenon when you walk in the streets and corners of a foreign country. That is, almost all foreign walls are occupied by all kinds of graffiti, which is rare in the streets of China. There are always many small advertisements and slogans on the streets of China. Then, why are there all kinds of strange graffiti on the walls of foreign countries, while there are only small advertisements on the streets of China?

First of all, let's talk about why graffiti is all over the streets of foreign countries. Take the streets of Berlin, Germany as an example. Graffiti on the streets of Berlin first prevailed during World War II. During the Second World War, Germany exercised very serious mental control over its own people. This makes many Germans feel very depressed, but they have nowhere to express their ideas, so they express their ideas in the form of art on the street walls. Moreover, foreign laws do not prohibit it, and street graffiti has become a very free thing, so there are more and more people doodling on the street, and graffiti is also increasing.

What about the small advertisements and slogans on the wall in China? When New China was founded, in order to better alert people and improve the political consciousness of the general public, the local government chose to write big slogans on the walls. With the passage of time, this practice has been used for reference by successive governments in China, and the Chinese Wall has also become a good place to remind people to be vigilant. Moreover, scribbling on the wall is illegal in China, so not many people will do it.

This obvious difference between China and the West is caused by the influence of different historical periods. For some foreigners, high-handed politics forces them to express their ideas only in this way. In China, this obviously does not exist.
