Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Five: How Can Our Nation Be Great? (Continued)

Wang Yong did not give them a lot of time to continue thinking, but began to continue speaking amazing words on his own. That was really a silence!

"European civilization and Chinese civilization started almost at the same time, but Europe formed many small countries, and China has always been a unified country, although sometimes there are divisions. When it comes to these, everyone is inevitably complacent and thinks that this is the greatness of our nation and has a powerful centripetal force that other nations do not have."

As Wang Yong stopped talking and took a silent breath of cigarette. For a moment, there was no sound in the room, and everyone's eyes were staring at this young and indifferent big man.

Even his uncle was also crazy for a while. He never knew that he was lazy and his nephew, who liked to cheat, had such profound thoughts, even if he heard from him.

"In fact, the formation of so many countries in Europe is a reflection of his free thought. But how many things related to civilization are produced from these small countries? And we, the unified world, the idea of ​​unification. However, in foreign exchanges, the two have formed a completely opposite idea and code of conduct."

After listening to Wang Yong's words, he had a flexible mind and had guessed what Wang Yong was going to say. Because this topic is also a hot topic that all young people today often drink too much at the dinner table where a few friends gather.

"Just compare our country with the United States. In international affairs, our country's policies are basically to be strong internally and to be soft externally. The United States is just the opposite, to be strong externally and to be soft internally."

A few smart boys took out their phones and turned on the recording at this time. Wang Yong took a look and did not stop them from doing this.

"There is a statement that explains this phenomenon. Our country's culture is closed, restrained, introverted, while American culture is open and outgoing. And the traditional idea of ​​unity in our country is also an introverted concept. Why do we become lambs to be slaughtered in front of foreign invaders and become vicious wolfs in front of compatriots?"

This topic made many people think of it, and the pictures appeared clearly in their minds, and the torture made everyone frown.

"One hundred Japanese soldiers can take tens of thousands of prisoners to Yan Ziji and shoot them all. Not to mention resisting, there are not many people who have the courage to escape. And when the same army dealt with the Red Army and the subordinates of the army back then, where did the fierce courage go?"

He is cruel and gentle to the outside world. Except for his uncle, everyone sitting in the house has a low education and is at least graduated from high school. They have already summarized this summary by themselves.

"He later talked about such a thing, about twenty years ago. At that time, reform and opening up were deepening, and a nouveau riche became the object of envy in society. This happened in the community where he lived. A couple quarreled and divorced, and the husband simply took his new love home blatantly. His wife ran to the roof of the building angrily and shouted that he wanted to jump off the building."

There are several people in the house who smiled knowingly. They have seen too many such things on the Internet. Raising a lover is not a big deal. Is it a good thing to see now that they are all mistresses?

"Many people ran out to watch, but the reactions of these onlookers were different. Some people quickly called the police. Some people loudly persuaded her not to commit suicide, some people quickly ran to the roof through the stairs, and some people stood aside with gloating and shouted to her, asking her to 'jump, jump quickly'. Later, after the police rescued the person, the latter kind of people felt very regretful."

Suddenly, the few people who had smiled before stopped smiling. Before they had time to reflect on why, why is this? Wang Yong had already changed the topic and talked about another real event.

"In Hungary, a miner went down the well for the last time on the eve of his marriage with his wife. Unfortunately, the mine collapsed and the groom never came back. The bride did not believe that his lover left him. She waited for this for seventy years."

Wang Yong said here and suddenly stopped. He slowly took out another cigarette from the cigarette box and lit it. He took a sip and let out a gust of smoke before continuing.

"Seventy years later, the mine was reorganized, and the groom who died seventy years ago was found in a pool of water deep in the mine. Because there was no air and soaked in the water, the groom had no change from the time he died. And his bride is now gray-haired."

Wang Yong found through the smoke he vomited that the boys in the crowd had their eyes red.

"After crying for a long time, the old man made a shocking decision. She wanted to continue to complete the unfinished wedding with her lover."

Everyone's eyes showed a look of shock and looked at Wang Yong in disbelief.

"That day finally came. The white-haired old man in his eighties was wearing a white wedding dress. Her lover was still so young, lying in a carriage with his eyes closed, as if there was a smile on his lips. The wedding and funeral were held at the same time, which made countless passers-by cry."

Speaking of this, Wang Yong paused deliberately to let everyone calmly digest the shock and touch in their hearts.

"During 9/11, many college students celebrating the news as soon as they heard the news, celebrating the impact of the United States' Gemini Building and the Americans' bad luck."

Several people obviously had a look of pride on their faces, and Wang Yong knew that they should have had similar experiences.

"At that time, there was a press group in our country who was visiting the United States. Seeing the scene of the World Trade Center being hit, many people couldn't help but start applauding and cheering. As a result, they were quickly listed as people who were never welcomed and deported."

When Wang Yong said this, his eyes were very deep, so deep that it made people feel as if he had seen the vast starry sky in the night sky, making people unconsciously stare at him and wait for the following text.

"This is a kind of cultural immersion. We can't blame them. They can no longer control themselves. But to be honest, this is very sad! If all such people love the country, will this country still be saved?"

The questioning from the blue made everyone stand still as if they were struck by lightning. After waiting for more than a minute, Wang Yong sighed and continued to speak.

"Human life is the most dignified and precious thing in the world. These lost lives have nothing to do with the US government. How do others treat us like this?"

No one answered. The whole room was quiet, only the sound of the tobacco burning when Wang Yong was smoking was wrapped around everyone's ears and it never dissipated for a long time.

"One year, a group of thieves from our country hid in containers and entered the UK from the Strait of Dover. After dozens of hours in a place with poor air, almost all the people inside were suffocated to death. After emergency rescue, only two people came alive."

Wang Yong said to himself as if he had not seen the surprised expression on everyone's faces.

"After this incident was exposed by the media, the local embassy did not send an official to the scene. In the end, the local British people spontaneously held a memorial service in Dover, lit many candles to mourn the dead souls."

Anger and sad anger spread in the room, and many people clenched their fists. They stared at Wang Yong with their eyes wide open, but they didn't know what they were thinking.

"At that time, many children with toys came, and toys made in China were marked with madeinchina. At that time, a reporter interviewed the children why they came to attend the memorial service. One of the children answered this way: Because they are also humans, my mother said that the toys in my hand might have been produced by them."

The atmosphere in the room became even quieter, so quiet that everyone could only hear the breathing of everyone.

"There was no Chinese in the entire memorial service. What is civilization and what is uncivilization? The vulgarity of spirit will inevitably lead to vulgarity of behavior. The nobility of spirit will inevitably lead to nobility of behavior."

After saying these words, Wang Yong also calmed down and slowly tidied up his thoughts. It seemed like a long time later, a sound came from the room.

"Ba, bha"

The uncle first slapped Wang Yong and applauded Wang Yong. Then the others woke up as if they were dreaming. They blushed and looked at Wang Yong with admiration. After that, applause was like a tide.

"Hey! I don't know what's wrong. You said that when I just took my fellow villagers to find work outside, I saw a thief and just shouted, and I would definitely not be able to escape him!"

The uncle's words contained a strong sense of pride. It seemed that time was flowing back, and a heroic aura appeared on his increasingly older face, making him look like he was dozens of years younger.

"Later, I don't know when it started. No one dares to meddle in other people's business." When he said this, the uncle's voice was low and full of confusion, "But can such a thing be considered a nostalgic business? Are you talking about this nostalgic business?"

The uncle shouted at the top of his lungs and asked everyone's heart. Is this meddling in other people's business? Is it? Or is it? Everyone has their own ideas, and everyone has their own answers deep in their hearts.

"In today's society, just accept money! Money and money have ruined people's hearts! Look, no one dares to help someone fall down on the roadside. Why? Because I'm afraid that everyone will be wronged and blackmailed after helping him."

After the uncle shouted this sentence excitedly, his eyes swept across everyone's face with anger, and his face was filled with emotion - sad for his failure to fight and angry for his misfortune.

My uncle is old and has a low level of education. He still can't type or surf the Internet, but he has read a lot of comments on related incidents in the newspaper.

Except for him, everyone here has been online, and comments on such things are overwhelming on the Internet. They all know why and why is this happening?

In today's society where money is supreme and morally degraded, people's standard for measuring a person's status is not how noble his morality is, but money and power.

From those who made missiles in the early days of reform and opening up, to those who sold tea eggs in colleges today and those so-called "experts" everywhere, to those who were cold and chilling when encountering a sudden accident, the social environment has changed and people’s hearts have changed!

Some people can calmly say in front of the camera that they would rather sit in a BMW than laugh on their bicycles; a large amount of gutter oil enters major hotels and restaurants in a grand manner, so that even elementary school students know that they should buy gifts for teachers and classmates before running for class cadres and invite them to dinner.

What's wrong with us?

How can such a nation be great? (To be continued)
