Yi Zhongtian's article "China people who don't understand"

China people who don't know Yi Zhongtian.

China people are the hardest thing to talk about.

Like corruption. Do people in China like corruption? Of course not. When it comes to corruption, there is no one in China who does not gnash his teeth. Even those who pay bribes may not really like corruption. If he can make a fortune without taking bribes, why risk losing his official position and going to jail? If he can get by without paying bribes, why give away his money?

Most people do not like corruption. But they are inseparable from corruption. In fact, many people in China, once something happens, the first thing that comes to mind is to curry favor with them, and treat them and give them gifts through the back door. If all officials really don't invite or accept, I'm afraid many people will feel lost and empty, and don't know if their own affairs can be done. Therefore, it is impossible not to fight corruption, and it is impossible to fight corruption excessively. It's best to leave a tail, limit it to one or two meals and one or two cigarettes, and everyone will be happy.

You said it was all forced out? Not necessarily. For example, public funds to eat and drink, everyone opposes, everyone hates. But if you invite people who haven't attended to dinner, you will probably be happy to go and look good. It can be seen that what he opposes is not public money to eat and drink, but that others have a share and they don't. Because I don't have a copy, I have to oppose even public funds for eating and drinking.

Obviously, it is not that China people say one thing and do another, nor that China people lag behind the present one, but that China people have too many principles or rules to deal with people, which are often contradictory. Our ancestors left many teachings, and these teachings are often about fighting. For example, our ancestors earnestly taught us that one should be "courageous and resourceful" and "draw a sword to help each other when the road is bumpy", but at the same time warned us to "mind your own business" and "sweep your own snow and ignore other people's frost". So, do we care? Ha! You don't understand. Anyway, it depends on whether it is "meddling". If you are meddling, you shouldn't mind; It's not business, it's business. Therefore, it is right to be brave and stand by. There is an old saying in China that "the public is right, and the woman says that the woman is right", that is to say, whether it is correct or not depends not only on whether you speak or not, but also on whether you are a public or a woman.

In this way, people who study China people's "national character" or "nationality" will be in trouble. He really can't think of a word or two to sum up China people. For example, a China native who is honest and honest, is smooth and honest but sophisticated, suspicious but credulous, rigid and flexible, pays attention to interests but loyalty, respects etiquette but does not pay attention to public morality, advocates moderation but goes to extremes, is frugal but likes ostentation and extravagance, keeps the ancient law but follows the fashion, is content but dreams break out, burns incense and tells fortune but has no religious feelings, loves to hold a group but loves to fight, and is picky but can make peace. Therefore, China has a vast territory, rich resources, a long history and a splendid culture of 5,000 years. In the history of the world, he was the first to get rich, but in the end he was "poor and white" and was "beaten" because he was "backward". In a word, China people are not easy to understand. Not only foreigners "don't understand", but even China people themselves may not be able to "explain clearly".

In fact, even "unclear" is wrong. If we use the word "unclear" to sum up the people of China, someone will immediately object: unclear? Why can't you tell? I can make it clear. Then, he will speak in detail and make it clear that the people next to him will nod straight. However, what about nodding? He will nod when listening to Zhang San and Li Si, because Zhang San and Li Si are right. But if you think Tom, Dick and Harry all agree, it's all wet. Their statements are probably just the opposite-Zhang San said "justice" and Li Si said "women's reason". Besides, in China, nodding does not necessarily mean agreeing (and certainly does not necessarily mean disagreeing). This may mean listening, or being polite, or even just getting used to this action.

China people are really troublesome.

Just say eat. People in China like to invite people to dinner. North and south, all the same. But how to eat and what to eat are very different. Northerners always treat people to dinner with a table of dishes, plates stacked and bowls stacked. Those dishes are often very real, whole chicken, whole duck, whole pig or leg of lamb. In short, drink in a big bowl and eat meat in large pieces. The plates in the south are much smaller, and the weight of the dishes is much less. You can eat them with almost one chopstick, but there are many varieties of colors. A chicken can cook several dishes, and a fish can eat two or three. So northerners look down on southerners and think southerners are stingy. Southern Renye Fang looks down on northerners and thinks they are stupid. The funniest thing is that they all think each other is hypocritical. Northerners say a little, which makes people afraid to take chopsticks. What kind of guest is this? False feelings, right? Southerners say that if you can't finish eating, you should continue to serve. Is this for people to eat or see? What a bluff! So who is hypocritical? In fact, no one is hypocritical. Northerners believe that since people are sincerely invited to eat, people have to be able to put down their stomachs and eat, which is true. Southerners, on the other hand, believe that there is no need to be extravagant when treating others sincerely. Vegetables, as long as you are full. What's going on here? Is there such a program if you are eating at your own home? You are kidding! Besides, you cook so many dishes, don't you treat people like waste? It is better to eat as much as you can. This is really the "opposite direction". Monkeys eat twist-full of twist. As a result, although they are all honest, they are all considered hypocritical.

You see, coming from China, the north and the south are very different. China people, is it difficult to tell?
