ugly chinese 柏杨 12266Words 2018-03-18
Before the war of resistance against Japan, Mr. Wang had read a reporter's visit to the Northwest in the newspaper.The reporter probably grew up in Shanghai, a city in Shiliyangchang. Once he arrived in the Hexi Corridor in Gansu, he was amazed at the small feet of women.I can’t remember the original text of the report, but I only remember that he interviewed an old woman with little feet. When the old woman talked about the heroic battle with bound feet, she said seriously: “In my village, there are girls who bound their feet to death. There are also girls who refuse to be entangled halfway through." The reporter described: "When she said this, she deliberately put her little feet out of the kang, as if to show off those dead achievements." This comment has always been imprinted in my mind.Husband, what's the difference between the soy sauce jar maggot showing off traditional culture and this old woman showing off her crippled feet?

The old woman showing off her feet is a kind of ignorance until death, and the sauce jar maggot showing off the sauce jar is a kind of ignorance and arrogance until death.Mr. Sun Guanhan wrote a few words on a single page of "True Magazine" he clipped and mailed last week: "Chinese people still have so much self-conceit in their psychology during the 'unlucky' period. I am really afraid of the 'lucky' period. Coming!" Mr. Sun is obviously worried about the future, but "if you want to know the result in the future life, let's look at the cause of this life"!This world is full of self-satisfaction and arrogance, and will never become a real big country one day, so please rest assured.But Mr. Sun's hidden worries are thought-provoking. My husband, China has fallen to the point where it is today. Parents and brothers should really cry and bring out everything in the past for review.Then, those who smoke opium quit opium, those who smoke heroin quit heroin, those who push Pai Gow quit Pai Gow, those who steal things quit stealing, those who buy prostitutes immediately dismiss the prostitutes, those who are terminally ill are sent to the hospital immediately, and those who suffer from Hualiu disease immediately Call 606, and those with severed limbs will be fitted with prosthetics immediately.Then, go to the field together, cultivate the land, sow the seeds, pick the soil, and water the water, so that the family can prosper.If everyone can only open their mouths and shout about how good we were in the past, I'm afraid we can only be good in the past.

There is no other place, but Taiwan is unique, that is, the "stinky shoes array".No matter which house you go to, you have to break through the formation of smelly shoes before you can enter the house.After going up the stairs, the first thing you see is that every doorway is full of smelly shoes.When I say stinky shoes, it’s just for perception. You can’t pick them up and put them on your nose one by one. Of course, you don’t dare to knock down a boat shoe with a pole, saying that every one is smelly and unscentable.But if it is said to be fragrant, there should be no evidence. There are piles of stinky shoes at the door of every house, which is really one of the top ten wonders of the twentieth century. There are new shoes, old shoes, men's shoes, women's shoes, adults' shoes, and children's shoes , there are shoes with high heels, shoes with low heels, shoes with neither high nor low heels, shoes with front holes, shoes with back holes, shoes with left and right holes, and shoes with There are shoes like those that have been bitten by mice with holes everywhere, there are cheap shoes like the 100 yuan a pair worn by Mr. There is also a broad head worth 450 yuan, which belongs to another respectable range, and I know it well, so I don’t need to list it in detail).The collection of shoes is a spectacle.

The stinky shoe formation formed by these stinky shoes is the same as the Tianmen formation formed by Mr. Xiao Tianzuo of the Khitan Empire at the Sanguan Pass. It is mysterious and unpredictable.So some shoes are facing up to the sky, some shoes are prostrate on the ground, some shoes are blooming side by side, some shoes go their separate ways, some shoes are glaring, some shoes are wronged, some shoes overlap, some shoes Others are guarded at the mouth of the stairs, forming a modern tripping post.When the master comes out, first stretch out the feet, like my friend Ms. Mu Guiying's magic wand, turn left and right in the big formation of smelly shoes, kick forward and backward, until the sweat on the head and feet is the same. object found.It's relatively simple for a guest to enter, but if you meet a friend like Bai Lao, who often has a few huge holes in his socks, you have to have a lot of courage to excuse him.And some friends have straps on the shoes, so you have to watch their upturned butts patiently. If they are charming, of course you will never get tired of them. For those who are lucky or unlucky, if there are too many guests, sticking up their buttocks in a row will show the power of the stinky shoe formation.

However, the greatest power of the stinky shoe array is not to make people stretch their feet or stick their butts.Stretching your feet and sticking your buttocks is equivalent to moving your muscles and bones, and it is also a healthy move.The problem is that the smell that comes out of the stinky shoes is really a disaster.Once upon a time in the wild south, there was a kind of miasma. No one could figure out what it was. Some said it was spit out from the mouths of poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts, while others said it was a net laid by demons and ghosts.I think it is clearly a kind of air pollution. People rushed in rashly, and at the slightest, they became dizzy, and at worst, they died.However, the stinky shoes of every household in Chinese apartments make the entire staircase, from root to tip, full of nausea, which can be called apartment-like miasma. It is necessary to rush through the formation of eighteen stinky shoes.And the stench of each large formation is radiative. It penetrates the throat and lungs through the nose that is panting like a bull. The scene is related to this.

It's not serious to have to be hacked, at most dead.Seriously, why do foreign countries not have this kind of scenery, but China is unique?Going up the ladder, a pile of stinky shoes and a pile of stinky shoes, even if you can't kill you, you will get nasal cavity cancer.Even though it is a modern building, when you step out of a beautiful elevator, the first thing you see is a pile of smelly shoes, which is really puzzling.Especially the interior decoration is as splendid as the Palace of Versailles, but a pile of smelly shoes are cruelly piled up outside the door.This seems to contain a serious subject-absolute selfishness and absolute inferiority complex.To be selfish is to push things out of the door that you can't even bear, and teach others to bear them.Push the things that make you feel confused when you look at yourself, push them out of the door, and teach others to be confused.Push away the strange smell that will poison you if you smell it, and teach others to be poisoned.

——Everything, I only think of myself, not others; I only think of my own interests, not the interests of others; as long as my home is spotless, no matter how dirty the public places are; as long as I am comfortable, others will fall into his stink In the large array of shoes, he died without breath, and he was not tempted. The low self-esteem is that for things that cannot be solved, "out of sight, out of mind" is the traditional way of "sawing arrow shafts", as long as my family is like a fairy cave.In the past, people even swept the snow in front of the door, but now not only do they not even sweep the snow in front of the door, but they even pile the snow from their own homes there.The ancient poem is not like this: "Push out the moon with both hands, and tell the plum blossom to stand on its own." Now it is: "Kick out the stinky shoe array, and push it to someone else's stomach ulcer." It happened sixty years ago, when my husband was old Fang Qing once went to visit a friend. His generosity was unrivaled in the world. He immediately bought four ounces of spare ribs as a treat. That great chop fell into the latrine.The friend remained calm, and finally fished it out with a bamboo pole, washed it, and put it in the pot as usual.He didn't announce the truth until he was drunk and full of food. At that time, Mr. Bai was already very smart. He had studied hygiene in foreign schools and was about to vomit. He jumped up and grabbed my old man's neck and shouted: "Swallow! Go down, swallow it, if you don't see it, you don't understand it, and you still go to a foreign school."

That time I really swallowed, one was reluctant to vomit, and the other was pinched so tightly by him that I couldn't vomit.This matter has long been forgotten. Recently, I encountered a large number of modern stinky shoes, and every household was out of sight, so I felt a little uncomfortable in the stomach and intestines. In China, there are as many phenomena as donkey hairs, where you only think of yourself desperately and treat others as nothing.If the other party dares to prove that he also exists and has an independent personality, he will be in serious trouble. The small ones quarrel, the big ones fight, and the big ones put a hat on them. You don't know how to keep yourself safe, that is to say, you don't know how to be gentle and honest, complaining and swearing at others.Those who complained, rioted and cursed were all in the files, and the consequences would be dire.

Mr. An lived in the garage. It was nearly October, and above his head were all rich and noble houses. Just outside the railing of the balcony on the second floor, the owner set up an iron frame and placed a row of bonsai on it.Bonsai are pleasing to the eye, and of course wonderful.But the homeowner had to water twice a day, and every time it was watered to the fullest.Once, on a hot day, Mr. Bai bought a bowl of tofu curds in front of the door, squatting there and was eating vigorously, when suddenly the heavy rain poured down on me, and I had just eaten half a bowl of bean curds, and my body was still shaking. Cheng Manwan was surprised and said in his heart: "Where is this holy place that bestows this kind of timely rain in the Songjiang style." Looking up, it turns out that the energy comes from watering the flowers, but the owner of the house has shrunk into the case and disappeared.I was going to scold loudly, but I was afraid that I would be beaten if I scolded, so I didn't scold.I wanted to go upstairs to talk to this guy again, and I thought to myself, I am probably not the opponent with three no cards, so I had to give up.So soon I practiced a kind of triple jump. As long as he is carrying a watering can and showing up in public, I can jump in or out without getting a drop of water on my body.

This kind of spectacle of bonsai on the railing is almost everywhere on the apartment-style buildings, and some of them are even in front and back, and there is also a row on the balcony at the back of the house, so the clothes to be dried below will suffer.And as time goes on, the iron frame is rusted, and suddenly one day it collapses. Wouldn't the friends below have their heads blown.Even if it doesn't collapse, the iron frame has huge holes, if a piece of broken tile or a stone falls, Zuntou can't bear it either.I really can't figure out why the guys who live above don't think about the people below.

The same spectacle as this is some air conditioners hanging from tall buildings.Woohoo, the majestic building has seven floors, eight floors, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, and fourteen floors, towering high into the sky, beautiful and beautiful, just like a small palace, but every window protrudes. A small, dark coffin.There are different sizes and styles, and each small coffin has a ureter, dangling and fluttering in the wind.It seems that a graceful and luxurious lady has been born with abscesses all over her body, destroying all the beauty.However, what we are worried about is not the aesthetics, but what if one day the support of the small coffin is like a flower stand, rusts from old, breaks from rust, suddenly plops, rolls down, and hits the head of a passerby. You know, the effect is worse than a downpour.We couldn't figure it out again, the rich man, why didn't he think about it for passers-by. The threat to the apartment is not only the acquired artificial rain and small coffins, but also the congenital poison in the fetus.In order to make a living, my husband has to pass through the fourth section of Zhongxiao East Road in Taipei City twice a day. Whenever I come across a huge building called "Cathay Baotong Building", my heart beats.Heartbeat is not about wanting to move in, but I never had this idea, just like I never wanted to move into the Buckingham Palace of my friend Queen Elizabeth II.The reason why my heart is pounding is its window.In other buildings, the windows are drawn left and right, but the windows of "Cathay Baotong Building" are opened forward. If the window is opened forward, the air circulation is of course twice as large as when the window is opened left and right. The owner of the house may live three thousand years longer because of this.But the problem lies in this. The phenomenon of opening forward is that each window is the same as a yamen—a figure-eight shape, and the metal window shaft is the only pillar. No matter how thick this pillar is, it cannot hold a bonsai or an air conditioner. iron frame.Even if it is steel, steel will rot.Well, my window shaft is made of diamonds, so it is made of diamonds.But the window frame and window frame can't be made of diamonds too. If the window shaft doesn't break first, the window frame and window frame will also break first.Once broken, I am afraid that the unlucky ones are still friends on the road.If it doesn't fall vertically, a heavenly girl will scatter flowers on the road, and friends in cars will not escape the disaster. Most importantly, the strength of the wind increases proportionally with altitude.I can’t remember the proportion number for a while (it’s not about bad memory, if you owe me money, I can remember it clearly), but I seem to remember that if the wind on the ground is level 1, the roof of the Empire State Building in New York is level 8 The wind, and the eight-level wind is enough to roll up a person like a straw and throw it into the air, so that tourists have to be like kindergartens, "everyone holds small hands", or trembling, holding on to the railings, and the cowards have to be tied with a rope slim waist. Although the Cathay Pacific Building in Taipei is not as tall as the Empire State Building in New York, the law of increasing wind force is the same everywhere.The building is newly built now, and has not met the typhoon master yet.And even if it lasted once or twice, Mr. Bai didn't believe that the thin window shaft could resist the strong wind at high altitude day and night for a long time. If the performance bomb exploded, I don't know what other people's attitudes will be; I asked myself but vowed not Dare to be.So I couldn't figure it out, why the engineer who designed it at the beginning didn't think about it for the people outside the window. As I wrote this, my granddaughter took a form and taught me to fill it out.Needless to say, what kind of watch is the watch, anyway, I was crying at the watch, and I don't know what to say.What makes people cry like rain is that the space left for the fill-in items on the form is extremely small.Like "Province", "County", "City", "Road", "Street", and "Lane" in the "Address" column, the space above is so small that it is almost hosting a vision test.Some blank spaces are relatively generous, leaving a large space, but they can only be big enough to be seen by the eyes. If you want to squeeze the words to be filled in, you must use the sharpest pen in the world, plus a pair of Finest microscope. The "Books to Read" column is extremely narrow and short. Filling in three books with two-character titles requires sweating. If a person has read 30 books in his life, he can fill in the form to fill out myopia.I can't even figure it out, why didn't the form maker think about it for the form filler. These are small things, but from these small things, we can see the crux of the psychology.The water poured on you, the air conditioner fell on your head, the window smashed you, and you couldn’t fill in the form. It’s all your fault. The original owner, Qian Dameng, just did it.When there is no accident, it is useless for anyone to shout, and if the voice is louder, it will invite disaster.Once something happened, blood and flesh flew everywhere, officials and officials gathered, and the meeting was held like a ceremony, clamoring to find out who should be held accountable, but after checking and checking, no one was responsible except the dead.Woohoo, this crux is the same as the stinky shoes at the door of every household. It is obvious at a glance. Excessive selfishness and inferiority make the mind confused and the old eyes dim. I remember that a few years ago, someone was surprised by the lack of smile on the folk dancer's face, and the host replied: "That scene is a 'court lady's complaint', and the palace lady is of course sad." The frown is the same as before, I don't know how the host will say the words.In the past, I thought that maybe people of the yellow race are not born with the ability to laugh and don't like to laugh.But when I came to Japan, I saw that those yellow people not only could laugh, but also liked to laugh. In addition to the lady who drove the car, even the lady who drove the elevator that was as monotonous as a coffin could also laugh, which was a surprise.So I look into the reason why the Chinese people have so few smiling faces. It may be that there have been frequent wars in the past century, and they cry a lot. I can't laugh. The lack of smiling faces of the Chinese is a threat to tourism.But the biggest threat is still the attitude of the Chinese towards strangers. My husband traveled all over the provinces to make a living, and found that except for one place in Beiping, there is almost no place where there is no "deception". Human beings are animals that can laugh, but Chinese female nurses and female drivers are exceptions.On this point, everyone has been clamoring for more than ten years. Probably the authorities of the Bus Management Office and National Taiwan University Hospital (Taipei Hospital is also very good) are too busy making red envelopes to improve.Look at the situation, unless you throw a banknote in their face, even God can't teach them to show their teeth. In addition, the face of the female shop assistant seems to be included in the list of improvements.When you enter the store, it’s like a cat has bumped into a mouse’s nest, and its small eyes are full of hostility. If you ask for something, you will first look at your clothes, and then tell you: “It’s very expensive.” You Ask: "Is there any better one?" Said: "More expensive." I have a friend, when he was studying in a foreign language school, he bought a sweater worth 500 yuan at a consignment store in front of Zhongshan Hall in Taipei. Feeling embarrassed, the boss stretched his neck to look at his license plate, and said disdainfully: "You graduated from a foreign language school and become an interpreter. It only costs five or six hundred yuan a month. Let's save it." But the result was beyond the boss' expectation. My friend actually had the money to buy one.However, the most painful thing is that when the customer refused to buy the two pieces and quit, everyone from the boss to the clerk glared and muttered something, showing a face like being sodomized.So, someone said: It doesn't matter, they smiled naturally when they met Mr. Yang.It should be known that after the development of tourism, foreigners will gradually become less rare like crucian carp crossing the river, and foreigners will also have their own hardships and poverty. Over time, the bad roots will recur. Taking a taxi without a small bill should be the only thing worth bragging about in China, but this alone is hard to attract.The no-two-price campaign should be launched. Anyone who has bought things on Zhonghua Road in Taipei probably feels the same. If you really ask for a lot of money and pay back the money on the spot, whether you are fooled or not depends entirely on luck.My husband once invented a law that said: "Pay him a price that you don't want to buy at all, and you won't suffer a loss." The result is not the case. The day before yesterday, I bought a suitcase and asked for three hundred. I thought it was only worth one hundred and fifty yuan, but Thinking that the style is not good, he said loudly: "Seventy yuan." I expected that he would rather commit suicide than sell it, but he yelled: "Okay, take it." Treating strangers sincerely is not only a way of sightseeing, but also a way of being a human being. The Chinese seem to be a kind of animal that can't laugh. The sage said: "If a gentleman is not serious, he is not powerful." Everyone seems to want to be "respectful" and "prestige".The fence of life is like the West Berlin Wall, built alive.Although laughter does not exclude "heaviness" and "prestige", but the long-term indifference can exclude laughter.Woohoo, the Chinese not only never care about others, but also seem to be full of suspicion and hatred towards others.There was a news in the newspaper the day before yesterday that a clerk in Taipei Emei restaurant died of illness, and the boss refused to pay him, so the family members carried the coffin to the restaurant to protest.When the fellow diners saw it, they yelled that it was unlucky, and they dispersed, and some took advantage of this opportunity and didn't pay their bills.Husband, whether it is right to carry the coffin is a question, we just feel that the meaning of the dead to the living is just "unlucky"?Isn't there a little sadness? A person's upbringing and the quality of the whole people are fully revealed at the first level of interpersonal contact.Your Excellency still remembers that when Mr. Tang Ao came to the "Gentlemen's Country", he defined the state of propriety and righteousness as: "passing on the sages and sages", "enlightening rituals and music", and "admiring the eight wastes".In fact, his Excellency just saw the fact that he was innocent when he was shopping in the store, so he fell in love with him.But in the United States, it has long been common for children to be honest, not only the price is not cheating, but the service attitude is even more amazing.In a small store in Las Vegas, my wife fell in love with a small gown, and said that the transaction was $12. The old wife said: "Oh, what is this?" The clerk picked it up, looked at it in the sunlight, and said apologetically, "It is indeed a sweat stain. It may be washed off with water, but it may not be washed off. If you agree , I’ll ask the boss to see if I can reduce the price a bit.” Then Dongdongdongdong ran up to the second floor, and then down, and said that it could be two dollars cheaper. This incident was undoubtedly a blow to me. Being abused by the clerk has become a habit. Once the spring weather turns into rain, I can't help but go up to hug the old woman and kiss her.If it is changed to Taipei, or Hong Kong, a program of gunfights between police and robbers will definitely be launched grandly.The dead woman has the guts to find fault, and the clerk must have glared and slapped her head: "Why, what are you talking about, black spots? What a joke, why can't I see them? There are black spots under the armpit, what's the matter, are you holding them up?" Walking with arms? You have to pick your eyes early. The buyer is still honest. Now that the invoice has been issued, you want to return it? Reduce the price? It’s inexplicable. Rich man! Why, you are not convinced, we are a country of etiquette and righteousness with 5,000 years of traditional culture. Still care about your little money? I don’t bother to report to the officials, you foreign country bumpkins with too little cultural foundation. Anyway, one word: I can’t afford it, forget it, and bring it.” Las Vegas is a pure tourist casino, 90% of them are tourists, and 99% of these tourists only come once or twice in their lives, so there is no harm in cheating these people.But they are still as friendly and decent as other local shops. The biggest problem for Chinese people when they first arrived in the United States is the politeness of Americans.Passing by casually on the road, it seems that there is a touch, and it seems that there is no touch. The other party always apologizes and says: "I'm sorry." whine.Even if you lower your head and walk suddenly, hitting loudly, it will cause repeated "sorry" to you.This frequent "I'm sorry" scene is really hard to resist.In our China, it is a different kind of scene. Once the two of them hit the turtle head-on on the slate, the reaction is as fast as lightning, and the eyes are cracked. Look at him performing the high jump. The first sentence must be: " You are blind." The opponent immediately fought back, jumped up and said: "Oh, I didn't mean it, you touched me too, and I didn't say a word, what's your name?" The former raised his voice and said: "Bump You are so vicious even when you are a human being, have you been educated?" The opponent also raised his voice and said: "It is not a crime of beheading if you touch you, what do you think, teach me to kneel for you, hum, you said I touched you, this It's weird, why don't I touch others, you were the one who went up first, trying to plant it?" Things have evolved to such a point, the weaker ones, scolding while walking, scolding while walking, that is to say, Mingjin withdraws troops.Those who are stronger, punch down, make a loud noise, and immediately attract a large crowd of spectators, which is very popular. Readers, please pay attention, from the first encounter with Zuo Niaoshousan, we didn't hear "I'm sorry".The broad and profound "never admit mistakes" is fully carried forward in this small street scene.Therefore, my husband believes that Chinese compatriots have lost the ability to say "I'm sorry", and every Chinese is like a flamethrower, who only has the courage to fight according to "strength". One of the characteristics of Western civilization is to admit that others have the same existence as oneself and should be respected equally, so we always express this respect carefully.I'm sorry for stepping on your foot, but I'm sorry if I didn't step on it but almost stepped on it. I'm sorry if I coughed, and I'm sorry if I sneezed like a mosquito. Of course he was "sorry" for going to pee, but "sorry" for him to fight the fire if the kitchen caught fire.The most common show that tourists see is that you are trying to take a picture, and someone accidentally walks through it, and they also want to "sorry".However, the vast majority of foreigners, when they see you holding up the camera, will stop, stand and giggle like an idiot, and wait for you to press the switch before leaving.If you are a Chinese compatriot who takes pictures, you are used to numbness and will not react.If the friends who take pictures are foreigners, they are unwilling to be lonely and always have to open up.At this time, it is no longer "I'm sorry", but "Thank you". "Thank you" threatens me as much as "I'm sorry" threatens me.It is incomprehensible that there are people in the world who waste their saliva on these two sentences.Although my husband is proficient in all kinds of martial arts, but in the United States, it is more difficult to escape from the snare of these two sentences. The more you kick, the more he "thank you".After taking pictures of friends, you pass them through your intestines, of course they "thank you"; even if they go shopping and get the goods, they also have to "thank you" to the shop assistant (in China, let alone the customer, the shop assistant can say If you say "thank you", the ceiling will be so touched that it will collapse); when you withdraw money at the bank, the old woman at the counter will "thank you" when you watch you take away the vain money (readers may wish to call the Bank of China to know When you go to the yamen to do errands, when you return your documents before leaving, you should also "thank you" (Your Excellency, go to our yamen in China to try, to ensure that you will immediately feel the nostalgia); once you drive fast or you should not turn hard When you turn a corner, the police master handed you a ticket, and you also want to "thank you" (the result of issuing a ticket on the streets of Taipei, I am afraid that one will put on a stern face, and the other will spit out three-character scriptures).When I was in Los Angeles, my friend Mr. Zhou Guangqi took me to the parking lot to drive. When I got out of the gate, I handed over the money and took back the receipt. He also said "Thank you".I said admonishingly: "Brother, too much courtesy means deceit. If you don't give me money, he will let you go. What can you thank?" He thought for a long time but couldn't think of a reason why he must thank you.But the second time I went again, he said "thank you" as before, which made me so angry to death. The "thank you" that impressed me the most was the strange case of the spring door.When my old man passes a swing door, he always pushes it and then leaves it alone.After arriving in the United States, of course everything was the same as before.Friends repeatedly warned: "Old man, this is Fanbang, don't bring the 5,000-year-old Chinese traditional culture here, and see if there is anyone behind, and then slowly return to the original place." A joke, I came to the United States to travel Yes, I'm not a gatekeeper. I've walked through more swing doors than you've ever seen, and I still need you to teach.So, once, as soon as I let go, the door slammed back, and a white-faced gentleman behind his butt uttered a loud cry. My friend and I were so anxious that we almost knelt down and begged for mercy (I wanted to put oil on the soles of my feet, but I heard the sound and came to rescue me) There are too many idlers driving, and there is no success in running).Fortunately, I didn't have a concussion. The white-faced master saw my appearance and attire, and thought that I must be an important figure in the cannibal tribe of New Guinea, so he didn't dare to pursue it.Afterwards, my friend said: "You haven't eaten pork, you should have seen pigs walk. Please learn from the foreign masters, that is the true way of patriotism." Woohoo, it turns out that after the foreign masters pass by, they always stop and hold the door. Wait until the guests from behind file in, or someone takes over halfway, and then let go slowly.I don’t know anything about it, and I don’t gain wisdom. My old man has been familiar with this kind of rules for a long time, so I keep hearing a series of "thank you" from foreign masters and grandma who are less advanced, so I am very unhappy. ──Back to Taipei, I continued to worship the ocean for a while.However, after three days, I returned to the original state, not because of my weak will, but because every time I stopped and held the door and waited, the yellow-faced friend who followed behind his buttocks seemed to have dry shit in his mouth, and no one said "" thanks".I just let go of my hand, so it doesn't matter if it's fucking alive or dead.Woohoo, if you want to get a "thank you" out of the Chinese population, I'm afraid you have to use the five-toothed rake of my friend Zhu Bajie. ──In fact, "thank you" in the United States has become a part of democratic life just like "sorry". Flooded realm.Your Excellency has seen the scene of robbers robbing a bank. The burly man took out his pistol and taught the old lady at the counter to fill up enough money. Then he took off his hat and said, "Thank you." Then he retreated.However, what Bo Lao meant was that it would be better to overflow than to be stuffed to death by dry shit. I want to make a special statement, "I'm sorry" and "Thank you" are both accompanied by a smile, so another sentence naturally spread: "Can I help you?" My old man is so old, from mainland China to Taiwan, from From the mountain nest to the city, from Sanjia Village to the foreign school, from babbling to thundering, "I'm sorry" and "Thank you" are rare, but I still hear them occasionally, only "Can I help you?" In a word, I have never heard anyone say it. On normal days, we are all picked up by friends in a car, majestic and arrogant.But one time, I was caught blind. My old wife and I took the subway from the central area of ​​Washington to Springfield Township. Springfield Township is the end of the subway.However, the taxis in the United States have less money than the husband. We ran around the station, seeing that it was getting late, anxious like two bereaved dogs.A young American friend saw that something was wrong with us and came to ask if he could help us?What a fool, there is no need to ask.He just put down his little baggage, stood in the middle of the road, looked around, listened to all directions, and finally blocked a car, probably the driver master was rushing home for dinner, but he refused, he leaned over the window and talked for a long time, and finally Beckon us over.As soon as I figured it out, I wanted to ask him his name, but he had already left. If he hadn't drawn his sword to help, depending on the situation, we would have to sleep there on the floor. Americans are a nation that likes to help others. "Can I help you" is not just a glib expression of entertainment, but an action of sword and foot.With the exception of New York and one or two big docks, if you look a little confused and anxious on your face, someone will come up to you and ask that question.If you have great ambitions, you answer: "Yes, I just need help. Is it okay to lend 500 billion U.S. dollars for 20 years?" Of course it won't work.But if you just got lost, he may have to be busy for a while, and always have to talk to you carefully; unfortunately, your English level is the same as that of Mr., even if he speaks gaudyly, you still can’t understand, he may be confused. Running around with you, as if you are a prince and grandson, and he is a trafficker.Because of her unhealed back injury, the lady took a special rattan board with her as a backrest when she left.This rattan card has been used in Taiwan for half a year and has remained unknown, but when it arrived in the United States, it immediately became a big hit.No matter where she goes, there is always a white-faced master who thinks that her lord's waist may snap in two at any time.On the plane and train, it is more like wearing a dragon robe, not even daring to stand, as soon as the ass is owed, someone leans on the shoulder and smiles and asks: "Can I help you?" Of course not, she is going to the latrine Shit, no one else can do it for you.As a result, her old man had no choice but to hold back in order not to refuse his kindness. This set of interpersonal relationships has never been popular in China, and on the contrary, people who are willing to help others are all called "good people".If you dare to see injustice on the road and draw your sword to help, the ready-made adjectives will chase after him like a rattlesnake missile, insisting that he is "nosy", this kind of deviant behavior must have "ulterior motives".So, if you switch to the streets of Taipei, you just squat there vomiting and diarrhea. I dare to bet you a dollar, and I am afraid that no one will help you.I remember last year, when my husband and an American friend, Mr. Sigliman, were watching a movie in Taipei, an audience member suddenly foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground from his seat. Two people came to the movie theater and lifted him out. No need to ask, of course he was sent to the hospital.Who knew that after the show ended, his Excellency was thrown onto the concrete floor of the side passageway as he was, as if he was not a "descendant of the dragon", but a captive captured from the Chiyou tribe. Although the crowd was turbulent, no one stopped for him .Mr. Sigliman was very surprised, and sighed: "The Chinese are almost like New Yorkers, so indifferent." His Excellency did not say that he is as indifferent and ruthless as the Americans, which is why he is smart. Otherwise, I, a patriotic old Chinese man, might think that his metaphors are incoherent and his words are sarcastic, "provoking the relationship between the government and the people."He specifically mentioned New York, because New York is the base camp of people who "do not forget their roots". It is said that foreigners account for four-fifths of the total population of New York, so that when Americans mention New York, they vow not to recognize it as their city. ──However, as a Chinese born and living in China, it is not easy to help others.Mr. Wang tried his best to yell in "Slam into the Sauce Vat Collection", a person without noble sentiments will never understand that others will have noble sentiments, and will never believe that others will have noble sentiments. The poisonous arrows of "good people", "nosy", and "with ulterior motives" have already been fired. As long as the opponent has a thought of helping others, the crossbows will be fired immediately, and the blood will seal the throat.My friend, Mr. Yang Xifeng, is a taxi driver (he often takes my two elders for a ride in downtown).一个雨天黄昏,载得一位落汤鸡女人,在车上不停发抖,牙齿咯咯猛响,杨希凤先生遂动了不忍其觳觫之心,正好他太太教他从洗衣店取回来毛衣毛裤,乃建议曰:“小姐,你可以把湿衣服脱下来,换上一换,等你到家再还我。”那女人一听要她脱光,立刻杏眼圆瞪,号曰:“色狼,你要我报警呀。”把他阁下气得马上就咒她害感冒兼三期肺炎。另一位朋友李瑞腾先生,乃中国文化大学教堂教习。一次在公共汽车上,一位女人(对不起,又是女人)阳伞把柄掉啦,眼看就要踩个稀烂,他赶忙拣起,巴巴地挤到后座,交还于她。感谢观世音菩萨,这次那女人比较有文化,没骂“色狼”,但也没有“谢谢”,只用死鱼般眼珠猛瞪,一语不发。李瑞腾先生只好大败,向我叹曰:“老头,你说,咱们中国人是怎么搞的?”呜呼,中国人似乎仍停留在林木丛生的山顶洞时代,身上穿着刺猬一样的甲冑,只露出冷漠猜忌的两只大眼,心神不宁地向四周虎视眈眈。 现在回头介绍夫人的藤牌,这藤牌功用可大啦,不但惹得洋大人处处“效劳”,甚至遇到排队,也总是让她排到前面。夫排队者,是人类文明外在的寒暑表,从一个国家的排队秩序,可以准确地判断它们的文明程度。我在美国只两个月,就想提议把“美利坚合众国”,改成“美利坚排队国”。盖美国排队,不但泛滥,而且已造成灾难,不得不惋惜那些黑白两道朋友,竟把那么多宝贵时间,浪费到排队上。上飞机排队,下飞机排队,检查行李排队,缴验护照排队,买邮票排队,寄封信排队,窗口买票排队,付钱取钱排队,等公车电车排队,上公车电车排队,去厕所排队。最使人不耐烦的,是无论大小饭铺,也要排队。 对于排队,绝不是吹牛,我可不在乎。不但我不在乎,全体中国人都不在乎。不过美国排队跟中国排队,内容上和形式上,都大不相同,这就跟美国的斑马线跟中国的斑马线大不相同一样。盖中国人排队,只是一种学说,美国人排队,却是一种生活。台北排队只算半截排队,上车排队,本来排得好好的,可是车子一到,却像穆桂英大破天门阵,立刻土崩瓦解,争先恐后。英雄人物杀开血路,跳上去先抢座位,老弱残兵在后面跌跌撞撞,头肿脸青。嗟夫,真不知道当初辛苦排队干啥?为了抢一个座位,或为了怕挤不上车,来一个豕突狼奔,还可理解。而对号火车汽车,座位是铁定了的,既飞不掉,又不怕别人的屁股带钢钉,真不知道为啥还要猛抢。美国人好像一生下来就注定排一辈子队,所以也就心安理得。大概中国因为人口太多之故,排起队来,鼻孔紧挨后颈,前拥后抱,“缕衣相接闻喘息,满怀暖玉见肌肤”,远远望之,俨然一串亲密的战友。只洋大人排起队来,无精打彩,稀稀落落,遇到车辆出入口或街口巷口,还会自动中断,一派凄凉光景,不禁为他们的国运悲哀。在纽约时,一位朋友教我陪他去一家以拥挤闻名于世的银行取款。我心里想,这家伙准听说过我在台北挤公共汽车的武功,教我异地扬威,自当奋身图报。一进大门,只见柜台一字排开,每个柜台只有一个顾客在那里唧咕,心中大喜,一个箭步就跳到其中一人背后,想不到朋友却像抓小偷似的,施出锁喉战术,一把就把我拖了出去,不但不为他的鲁莽行动道歉,还埋怨曰:“老头,你干啥?”我没好气曰:“我干啥?我排队呀,自从到了你们贵国,俺可说是动辄得咎,排队也犯了法啦?”他曰:“倒没犯法,是犯了规矩。”原来柜台前面有一条线──跟飞机场检验护照的那条线一样,后面的人都得站在那里,不经召唤,不得乱动。而那里已排了五六十人,他们要等到柜台前顾客走了之后,柜台老爷老奶御手轻招,才能像跳豆一样跳过去补缺。呜呼,美国立国的时间虽短,规矩可真不少,如此繁文缛节,不知道影响不影响他们的民心士气。 然而,最可怕的还是,大小饭铺,也要排队,这就太超出我伟大的学问范畴。自从盘古开天辟地,从没有听说饭铺也要排队的。柏老在旧金山第一次到饭铺吃饭,一走进去,就被老妻拉出。嗟夫,根本无队可排,当然大步进场,拉来拉去怎的?谁知道即令鬼也没有一个,也得站在那里,等待侍女像领尸一样领到座位之上。如果没人来领,就是当场饿死,也不能越雷池一步。印象最坚强的是大峡谷之夜,好不容易找到一间晚上仍开张的小馆,那小馆倒皇恩浩荡,特免排队,但客人们必须先到柜台登记尊姓大名,然后蹲在门口听候传唤。侍女老奶一出现,大家把她当作大慈大悲救苦救难的圣母玛丽亚,张着祈求盼望的大眼,惶恐不迭地望着她。听她张金口,吐玉音,传唤某某先生可进去啦,某某先生和他全家大小,立刻欢声雷动,大喊大叫。咦,何必多这一道手续乎哉。台北就绝对不是这种景气,一群饿殍杀到饭铺,明明客人已满坑满谷,照样深入虎穴,拣一张看起来杯盘狼藉,快要吃完了的桌子,把它团团围住。桌上食客对这种阵势,早已司空见惯,任凭饿殍们怒目而视他们的尊嘴,他们的尊嘴仍细嚼慢咽,气不发喘,面不改色。最后,兴尽而退,饿殍们升级为座上客,另一批新饿殍又汹涌而至,再围在四周,恣意参观。非洲草原上胡狼歪着脖子看鳄鱼大嚼的镜头,重新上演,好不刺激。 最伤心的是,美国的很多中国饭铺,也逐渐染上这种恶习,放弃了我们传统的“看吃”文化。人人都说美国是一个自由国家,我的意见有点相反,仅只排队,就能把人排得精神分裂。
