Chapter 31 Thirty, big country

U.K: Hi. For me, a Chinese born in the 1970s, your influence was quite small for quite a while.In terms of national influence, Soviet revisionism and American imperialism came first.The Soviet Union sent revolution. The revolution saved many people and killed many people. Anyway, it changed a lot of people. The Soviet Union also helped us fight off Japan, and helped us resist the United States in North Korea, but it also instigated Outer Mongolia, raped They killed many of our women, robbed a lot of things from the Northeast Industrial Zone, and did big things.The United States has been the leader of the hostile camp for as long as I can remember. You in Europe seem to listen to him. We also practice American pronunciation when we learn English. The pronunciation of Erhua is close to Beijing dialect.The United States first knocked our heads in North Korea, then stepped on our toes in Vietnam, and then often kicked our testicles in Taiwan.The United States did not fire a single shot, but competed with the Soviet Union to manufacture weapons. After 20 years of competition, the Soviet Union was exhausted.In terms of influence, it is Japan, which killed many of us and helped us drive away the Kuomintang. The imported plastic TVs and VCRs wiped out our savings, but we basically watch the imported AVs for free.In terms of influence, it is Germany and France. One produces philosophy and good cameras, and the other produces flowered clothes and sex.As for you, England, apart from having a beautiful and elegant queen and having once been rich, you seem to be unable to think of anything else.

The first time I heard you also refer to the British Empire was when I was in business school in the United States.A very honest girl from Taiwan asked us to guess the riddle: which country has the biggest clitoris?Her tone was gentle and graceful, and we looked at her big black-rimmed shortsighted glasses, and the riddle already overwhelmed us, and the answer was even more unpredictable.The good girls in Taiwan say that the girls in the British Empire have the largest clitoris, so it is called the country of big clitoris.Doesn’t the Taiwanese dialect have a nasal sound? So far, I have been to the United States and Europe many times, almost all over Asia, and I live in Hong Kong, but I have not been to your place once, but my impression of the UK is slowly built from these experiences.

Text first.I learned English from the original English novels, and read almost the entire set of Lawrence, Maugham, and Stevenson. Compared with my American counterparts on the other side of the Atlantic, Henry Miller, Kerouac, and Mark Twain, your writer can use marijuana and poppy, Without alcohol, wearing underwear, a pocket watch and hairspray, calmly and clearly telling about the great pain in the heart, the great desire of hitting, and the big dream of boyhood.Except for you, except for the Southern Song Dynasty or Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the late Ming Dynasty, there are no other places where stylists can be found. Even if your stylists don’t have any raw energy, even if they don’t say anything in their books, just reading words can make your eyes look good, white, Smooth, neither strong nor light fragrance.

Jade again.In the past five years, I have been attracted by ancient Chinese jade. The history of using jade in China is longer than the history of using characters. From my experience, it seems that there are more ancient Chinese wisdom and spirituality concentrated on jade than on Chinese.I have repeatedly heard several experts say that although your empire has been in decline for a long time, the best ancient Chinese jade is still in the British Museum.I haven't been to the British Museum, but I have repeatedly read the book on ancient Chinese jade written by Jessica Rawson, the undisputed first authority.The pinnacle of human craftsmanship (note: not the pinnacle of artistic taste) was in Kang Yongqian in China, and in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in England.I looked at the colorful satin silks, cultural toys, and clocks and porcelains that George III sent a special envoy to exchange with Qianlong in 1792. I imagined that these two men understood the beauty of each other's artifacts, their shapes, decorations, and carvings. From the big picture to the details, there must be no difficulty.

Hong Kong again.Staying in Hong Kong in recent years, from this cramped island where you need to change gears to accelerate and decelerate frequently when walking on sidewalks, you have realized your invisible benefits: the rule of law and order.The traffic is usually very good, and even when it is bad, it will not be blocked. It is almost impossible to see lane grabbing, jamming, or parking indiscriminately.Depending on the time of day, the estimated travel time from one place to another can be accurate to within five minutes.This is not a matter of people's hearts.The same driver as us, as soon as the two cars arrived in Shenzhen, he became hyperactive, his eyes lit up, he repeatedly changed lanes, opened the window to spit, and yelled at pedestrians, saying, if our license plate is an armed police brand or a Guangdong O brand Well, you can go in reverse, you can run a red light.This is not a question of insufficient road repairs. Beijing has built so many roads. From Shuangjing to Sanlitun, it may take fifteen minutes, sixty minutes, or the next morning.For another example, the mountains and the sea are well protected. If you live in a busy city, you can go up the mountain in ten minutes by taxi and see the sea in ten minutes by bus.If such an island is near Beijing, various ministries and commissions will first occupy the best areas such as mountains, south, water, and north, and then various powerful developers and various provinces and cities will compete for land close to these best areas, and it may be left behind. An area that is not easy to allocate is used as a public green space, surrounded by stalls selling snacks, cold drinks and handicrafts, and inside the green space are full of wrapping paper and lunch boxes.The roads between areas are always full of vehicles. There are three options to get from one area to another: take a helicopter, clear the way with a police car, and leave the car between 2:00 am and 4:00 am.

In 2050, we can live to see that China's GDP surpasses that of the United States, accounting for 25% of the world, reaching the level of the Qianlong period, China consumes 50% of the world's LV bags and PP watches, China hoards more than 50% of Africa's oil and Uranium reserves. In 2050, we will live without seeing Chinese stylists, the British Museum in China, or Beijing having traffic close to the level of Hong Kong. I hope my judgment is wrong. Feng Tang
