2000/05/22 Sanlian Life Weekly Author: Liu Huaizhao "Life is...", I saw such an advertisement in a local Chinese newspaper in Los Angeles: "Sleep a good night's sleep (a picture of Simmons, with the code name "ZZZ" snoring on it), Eat a good dish (a plate of chicken, the curves on it represent that it is still steaming), raise a puppy (a salivating puppy), go shopping in a small street (this time the picture is not a street, but a huge shopping bags, miscellaneous and bulging), and watch a really good program (a picture with a TV).” Finally, there is a sentence in a nutshell: “In fact, life is so simple, ×× TV (a local Chinese TV station) It’s completely convenient for you.” I don’t know if the intention of this ad is really so unpredictable, anyway, I’m very depressed after seeing it, and I think it’s better to just hit my head to death.As we all know, the set of life philosophy compiled by this advertisement, except that it is a little far-fetched to watch ×× TV, is just like the perfect pursuit of a bitch.Not watching ×× TV makes me think that bitches live smarter than humans.

The reason why such a solemn depreciation of life is not afraid of making people laugh is very simple-the advertiser is sure of the psychology of his basic masses-quite a lot of people take this kind of life as their ideal, and it is too late to resonate. Thought there was something funny here. Chinese people go overseas for nothing more than seeking a way of life, which is no different from other ethnic groups living in the New World.But in addition, everyone also brings their own philosophy of life, so the cultural differences are revealed.There is nothing wrong with differences in themselves. North America is known as a cultural melting pot, and its vitality lies in this difference. The advantage of differences is that they can learn from each other.I don't think the ad is so Chinese, but it flatters and caters to some weak links in my own life, which makes me think it has bad intentions.

Last year, an overseas Chinese-language media went to Vancouver to interview ethnic relations in a Chinese-inhabited area.I heard an "old beauty" talk about his impression of his Chinese neighbors: "They live very quietly, although they are not very gregarious, but I basically live in peace." Asked why "not gregarious" means , "Lao Mei" said: "They don't show up very much. When they come, they just buy this piece of land, and then build a house on such a large piece of land. Cement." The subtext is that the big, bare house looks very different, and it doesn't fit in well with the surroundings.I learned this passage to a friend who often said no. He slapped the table and said with a frown: "We are happy (reading)! We just want to be able to live!"

I think he dares to be honest, but he doesn't have to be so arrogant, because he won't be able to convince others, and his anger will hurt his body.Isn't it simple and convenient to live, why not recommend ×× TV to him, let him sleep well, eat good food, raise a dog and hang around the TV to spend his days.
