Disneyland in Tokyo, Japan is the first Disneyland in Asia.
Until the end of the last century, it was the only one in Asia.
Therefore, as early as when it opened in 1983, it achieved great success that attracted worldwide attention.
Not only children from all over Japan, but also adults from all over Japan are rushing to come here to enjoy American entertainment.
Japanese college students are no exception. They regard this place as the best place for young men and women to go on a date.
Some people buy annual passes because they are in Tokyo and go there frequently.
As a result, the north shore of Tokyo Bay, where Tokyo Disneyland is located, has transformed at an incredible speed into an emerging high-consumption area, with numerous resort hotels, leisure hotels, high-end shopping malls and entertainment venues.
For this reason, Tokyo Disneyland has become the pride of the Japanese, who call themselves "Asia's No. 1 Amusement Park".
Especially Japanese people living in Tokyo, once they have the opportunity to interact with foreigners, they can't help but brag about it.
Talking about Tokyo Disneyland, it is full of incredible rides and exciting performances.
Everything there is moving and colorful.
There are magical, novel, thrilling and exciting scenes and character scenes everywhere, which are enough to make people look real and fake.
It is the most advanced electronic audio action device from the United States and Japan that makes all this possible.
Just think about it, even the Japanese, who have become a developed country, are so fanatical and obsessed with it.
What would happen if the people of the Republic, who are still working hard to achieve the goal of well-off society, saw all this?
No matter who it is, anyone who suddenly comes to such an extremely modern large-scale theme amusement park will feel an indescribable mental shock and unparalleled sensory stimulation.
In fact, this is how the Beijing models, who are the first to go abroad with the task of performing for the public, feel like this.
On New Year's Eve in 1985, several girls who went to Japan to perform for Nishiura Department Store came to Tokyo Disneyland together for the first time.
The tall and tall girls became excited as soon as they arrived at the gate of the amusement park and saw the special actors dressed as Winnie the Pooh to attract customers.
Immediately holding balloons in hand, they swarmed up and took photos and group photos, laughing constantly.
Then I wandered around the World Market Penny Arcade and had a great time running around.
I don't care at all about appearance, solemnity and elegance.
Especially Shi Kaili, she almost went crazy with joy when she saw the grand parade of floats.
If her companions hadn't dragged her along, the fascinated girl would have been able to dance and be "fascinated" by the lively Mickey Mouse and the naive Fruity dog at the end of the float.
However, there is a special case among these tall girls, and that is Qu Xiao.
She is unique among everyone, and she can never be happy.
The smile on his face was all forced to not disappoint everyone.
Why is this so?
On the one hand, it’s because Qu Xiao’s aesthetics tend to be traditional, and he is naturally quiet by nature, so he never really appreciates American popular culture.
In her eyes, the body movements of American cartoon characters are too exaggerated and the plots are simple and straightforward.
This kind of thing that is only entertainment and lacks content is really tasteless and seems too noisy.
On the contrary, it was "The Panda Story" and "Ryuuko Taro" shot in Japan. These cartoons with artistic conception, twists and turns, and profound themes are more likely to make her like and move her.
On the other hand, the rampant tyranny of U.S. imperialism was not concealed in the land of Japan, which also made Qu Xiao very disgusted.
In Japanese newspapers, you can often see negative news about the US military stationed in Japan causing trouble and bullying Japanese citizens.
However, the Japanese government has always been weak and often has no choice but to deal with these perpetrators.
Even American companies have a transcendent status in Japan and can enjoy special discounts and treatment.
Disneyland, for example, has no scruples and has formulated quite arrogant overlord clauses.
Not only are tourists strictly prohibited from bringing their own food into the venue, but they also completely deny Japan’s traditional food.
Rice balls and sushi are all targets of inspection, and they are not provided in the park.
The restaurants in the park only sell burgers, French fries, hot dogs, pizza, salads, steaks, fried chicken, fried pork chops, grilled chicken legs, waffles, sandwiches, and pasta.
There are also some cakes, fruit pies, donuts, churros, grilled sausages, popcorn, marshmallows, and ice cream.
People who don't like American fast food won't even be able to find a bowl of noodles.
So from Qu Xiao's point of view, this is simply unreasonable, and it's a complete act of bullying.
But what makes her even more incredible and incomprehensible is the Japanese people's lack of dignity and resignation, and they actually let it go.
Of course, the most important fundamental reason is that Qu Xiao is homesick.
Originally, this performance took a long time. The models from Beijing all came to Tokyo after New Year's Day, so it has been a month and a half.
If we had followed the original plan, it should have ended before the Spring Festival.
But the Japanese only celebrate the New Year, but the Spring Festival, and of course they don’t understand the Chinese people’s desire for reunion.
In view of the fact that the performance was so good and the contract with China was about to expire, XJTLU Department Store made a unilateral and temporary request, hoping to continue the performance for two weeks.
However, the person in charge who led the team abroad also believed that this was a great achievement and beneficial to his career.
I was so happy that I actively contacted the country and actually tried my best to promote this matter.
So on this special day, no matter how homesick Qu Xiao was, she couldn't rush back to the capital in time to celebrate the New Year with her parents.
Especially recently, her mother's health has not been very good. She not only coughs and wheezes, but also can't eat.
I have been thinking about my parents’ funny laughter, so how can I still have fun and laugh?
In fact, she didn't experience any entertainment facilities and just followed everyone around absentmindedly.
After watching two performances and spending two hours, as soon as everyone walked into the cafe in the amusement park to take a rest, she didn't want to move anymore.
He said that he felt uncomfortable and his feet hurt, so he asked to stay here to rest and let everyone play by themselves.
At this time, we can really say that good sisters are good sisters, and the friendship these days will never be watered down.
Despite Shi Kaili's naturally playful and noisy nature, it was her first time to visit such a fun amusement park, but at this time, she still couldn't worry about being alone with Quxiao.
After this girl came out of the cafe, she had been wild for less than an hour before she came back alone to find Qu Xiao.
And she also brought a gift for Qu Xiao, a set of earrings with red hearts from Minnie and Mickey kissing each other, and a big marshmallow.
The novelty of this earring is that one picture can be broken down into three independent earrings, which can be matched at will.
Qu Xiao didn't see what it was at first, thinking it was a brooch or a magnet.
When Shi Kaili explained the real purpose to her, she was a little surprised by this ingenious design.
The marshmallow tastes even better, with a light fruity taste.
I can't tell if it's strawberry or blueberry, but it doesn't taste like pure white sugar in China.
In this way, as the two girls sit together, you take a bite, and I pinch a piece to share.
Soon "beards" grew on each other's lips, and Qu Xiao's mood finally improved a lot.
"If you don't want to eat, if you don't want to eat, it's all yours..." Shi Kaili was the first to stop and wiped her mouth.
"There will probably be another competition next year. This time I must go all out to compete and beat you. So you can eat more and gain weight so that I can look good..." After saying that, she couldn't stop talking. Haha, laugh evilly.
But even though she acted very cunning, Qu Xiao understood that she was deliberately trying to make him happy, and he was a little worried that she was over-dieting.
"Don't be ridiculous. You girl should really eat more. You are so thin and your complexion is not good. I am afraid you will faint on stage. Did you not eat last night? How much do you weigh now? Do you weigh ninety pounds? Listen to my advice, you are already in good shape and you can no longer diet excessively. Especially when you have to go on stage..."
"Are you talking about me? You eat every meal, but you eat as much as a cat. Judging from your pale face, your hemoglobin must not be more than ten grams, which means you are lacking in nutrients. These are what I should be telling you! "
"My complexion is not good, not because I didn't eat well, but because I didn't sleep well. You know, my mother is sick. She doesn't take her body seriously. I don't know if she went to the hospital for a checkup? The day before yesterday. When I called her and asked about it, she ignored me again. Now I can’t go back at all and I’m very worried about her..."
"Okay, okay, baby, stop thinking nonsense."
Shi Kaili hugged Qu Xiao, put her face affectionately on hers, and tried her best to comfort her.
"You have to know that ninety-seven percent of the worries in this world are unfounded worries. There are not that many real bad things. Auntie's health has always been good, hasn't it? The foundation is there, there must be no problem. I think the most is Whooping cough. Don’t worry, when we return to China, I guarantee that my aunt will have recovered. Then you can buy more delicious food for your mother and take a good supplement. On the other hand, you have to be more open-minded and smile at life. Otherwise , it’s so unfair that you have to worry about being sick. Auntie still has to worry about you.”
Qu Xiao is truly grateful for such a good friend.
"Xiao Shi, thank you. I listen to you. To be honest, I envy you. If only I could be as optimistic as you and be an optimist."
Shi Kaili herself shook her head.
"Sister, you still envy me? Oh, everyone says I'm stupid, heartless, and not like a girl at all. I'm the only one who envy you."
Qu Xiao retorted seriously.
"That's because they don't understand you. People like you are the real great wisdom. The most important thing in life is to be in a good mood, and happiness is what you earn. Brother Ning also said that people who treat others as fools often
You are the one who is really stupid."
Shi Kaili was immediately happy.
"Haha, yes, what Brother Ning said is so right, I understand it deeply. If nothing else, just say that the self-righteous men around us are stupid. I have discovered in China that many people don't understand
How to express masculinity? It seems to please a girl. In addition to pretending to be deep and pretentious, you have to be foul-mouthed and cynical. Or you have to chase, pester, grind, and fawn over every day. Co-authored by pedantic, ruffian, and feminine
, this is our contemporary male. I really can't stand it. This kind of sick habit is simply a serious degeneration."
As a beautiful girl, well-known model.
Today, Shi Kaili and Qu Xiao will naturally receive attention from many members of the opposite sex and attentiveness from many aspects.
So even though one of them is only in his early twenties and the other is only nineteen, neither of them has ever really been in love.
But after several years of modeling career, everyone already knows what love is.
Those coldness and warmth, those smiles, those eyes, the different motives behind them, they all have the same clarity in their hearts.
But even so, Qu Xiao felt that Shi Kaili's views on this topic were a bit extreme.
"You girl, your mouth is really terrible, it's like a knife. But isn't it a bit mean and generalizing? It seems that there are no good men in our country. Is it true that Japan's Ken Takakura is the only man? Let me ask you,
Is this what you said, Brother Ning? Don’t tell me, you didn’t know about the Pierre Cardon Company in the first period of time? Brother Ning, he wanted to..."
Unexpectedly, this time, Shi Kaili grabbed the topic.
"I know, I know, why don't I know? I know even more that you must mention Brother Ning. Yes, Brother Ning is perfect. Brother Ning is capable, capable, courageous, affectionate and righteous, and he is also handsome.
No one is worse than Takakura Ken. But the problem is, isn’t Brother Ning the only one? Is it enough for the two of us? Unless we cut him open with a knife. But then a new problem will arise. Do you want the first half?
What about? Or the second half?”
"You girl, you are really crazy! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Shi Kaili's teasing made Qu Xiao blush slightly, and she couldn't help but raise her hand and slap the girl punitively.
Shi Kaili exclaimed "Ah" and rubbed her lower back, but didn't care much and continued the topic.
"Hey, it's boring. I can't even make jokes anymore? Besides, I'm not just targeting our compatriots in China. I'm targeting a broad group of men."
"In comparison, the Japanese are actually worse. Their machismo is too serious, and you only know it when you see them more. I bet their politeness is all fake. Not to mention they are discriminating against women from the bottom of their hearts. They have low social status.
They don't know how to respect people who are above themselves. They are completely self-centered, self-centered, and domineering. However, on the other hand, they are servile and flattering to those who are higher than themselves. Do you think such men are hateful or pitiful? No matter they
They are so rich and well-groomed. I don't even have a good impression of them."
"Even now I have doubts about the basic quality of Japanese people. Originally in China, I hated men punching each other, and would get drunk and get drunk. As a man, if you want to drink, you have to be calm and steady. I
From the bottom of my heart, I hate those men who show their teeth and claws, scream and laugh loudly. But the result is that the Japanese are even more extreme. They throw away all their upbringing and etiquette when they see alcohol. They make unscrupulous noises and dance in public places, and they have nothing to do with it.
He has no regard for others and has turned into a clown. Moreover, his ability to drink alcohol is generally poor, and even drinking sake as light as water can make him look like a drunk cat."
"As for the Japanese people's behavior, let alone mention it. They are too stubborn and don't think about you at all. How stupid do you think they are? Every time they express their gratitude, they hold a buffet to entertain us? And even the restaurant
I don’t even know where to go, but it’s always the Prince Hotel. You think we people, who can’t control our weight, what can we eat? There are so many delicious food on display, aren’t they meant to make us greedy and uncomfortable? Not to mention that we have to look good when we go there.
Laughing, toasting strangers, and having to take photos with them are all exhausting. By the way, that annoying Tikanguang will appear every time. The way he looks at you is obviously evil. He is a big bad wolf.
You little red riding hood, you have to be careful..."
These last few words naturally made Qu Xiao's face turn red, and he wanted to pinch Shi Kaili's face.
"You little girl, you always make fun of me. Huh, I'll make you bad, I'll make you bad..."
"Don't, don't..." Although she grabbed Qu Xiao's hands and begged for mercy, Shi Kaili continued to talk about the same topic.
"You are so stingy. I really think about you. I heard that Tikang Guang is engaged. Isn't this because I am afraid that you will be deceived..."
"You still said, you still said, it's none of my business what he likes. Now I don't thank you at all. Your gift was given in vain today..."
Shi Kaili immediately felt that she had suffered a huge loss.
When she appeared on stage once, the performance subsidy was only 6,000 yen.
The earrings cost her 2,500 yen, nearly half of that.
In China, according to the official exchange rate, it would cost more than 30 yuan. According to the real exchange rate of private exchange, it would be at least 70 or 80 yuan.
"Okay, I was wrong. It's okay that I was wrong. How about this? Let's celebrate New Year's Eve together tonight instead of going to the banquet. I'll treat you to a Chinese restaurant and have a big meal. What do you want to order?
Let’s just order something, and I’ll risk it. Don’t think about money, weight, etc. I’ll throw it all away today and love whoever…”
Shi Kaili decided to take practical actions to make up for their feelings.
Qu Xiao was indeed moved by what he heard, but he was also a little worried.
"We're not going to the banquet? How about that? If you don't abide by foreign affairs disciplines and act privately, the team leader will tell you, right?"
"Don't worry, it's okay. If the team leader asks, we'll just say we're sick and have a stomachache. What else can he say? Besides, the cooperation between the Textile Bureau and Nishiura Department Store is about to expire. Next time we come to Japan, we will go to Osaka
, performed for Takashimaya. Can the leader be serious with us? Besides, don’t we have a backer? It’s not like others don’t know how much the minister likes you and treats you like his own daughter. Come on, today is New Year’s Eve, why?
You also have to eat some dumplings..."
"Let me show you what you can do. You are such a weird girl."
Qu Xiao was completely moved and reached out to tug Shi Kaili's nose.
This is an act of teasing children in Beijing, commonly known as "pulling a camel".
However, she had a better idea and didn't intend to waste her money.
"I wholeheartedly agree with your idea. However, let's not go to a restaurant to eat. Tokyo is so expensive and there are not many serious Chinese restaurants. And the dumplings here are just pot stickers with extremely unpalatable fillings. I think
, if we want to eat dumplings, we might as well make them ourselves. We have a chopping board, rolling pin and vinegar in our dormitory. Just buy some stuffing materials. The shrimps and crabs here are cheap! We can make them with three delicacies or crab meat.
The two of them divide the work, one is rolling, the other is making the bags, and it will be done in a while. Well, they are all bags anyway, so I might as well make more, one hundred and fifty, so that everyone can have a taste..."
Indeed, Qu Xiao was very considerate, and this was all true.
Chinese restaurants in Japan never make dumplings.
Although Tokyo is full of ramen shops and dumpling shops, the dumplings here are all fried in a pan.
Six per plate, 350 yen per plate, equivalent to RMB 134.
The fillings are only meat and onions, which is really unpalatable.
Japanese people completely eat this kind of dumplings as a dish and use them with rice.
This strange way of eating what we think is purely a staple food with staple food is called "dumpling set meal", which is very common in Japan.
The models who came from the capital back then definitely couldn't get used to it.
Often, after eating less than two, you will feel greasy and even a little disgusting. This is also the uniqueness of Japanese dumplings.
However, Qu Xiao did not expect that Shi Kaili would become embarrassed because of this.
It took me a long time to reveal the truth like squeezing out toothpaste.
"But, but I...I haven't studied. I live in a compound and have eaten in the cafeteria since I was a child. I'm not going to lie to you, even my mother can't..."
Although Qu Xiao was surprised, he smiled generously.
"It's okay, then I'll do it. For us northerners, making a few dumplings is no big deal. Don't worry about anything, just wait to eat."
Shi Kaili was so happy now that she swallowed her saliva and clapped her hands.
"Great, I miss our dumplings so much. So I have to pay for the ingredients. No, don't argue with me. I originally wanted to spend 40,000 to 50,000 for tonight's meal. Haha.
, you are saving money for me. Really, I am so happy to have you by my side. Why can you do everything? If only you were my sister..."
And immediately after, Shi Kaili couldn't sit still anymore, stood up, laughed, and was about to leave.
"Let's go, do whatever you say. You don't want to stay here anyway, so let's stop nagging and hurry up and buy something and go back. Otherwise, what time will it be when we finish packing and cooking?"
This impatient look really made Qu Xiao feel a little funny.
"I'm talking about that. You glutton, why are you more anxious than me when it comes to dumplings? You're not even interested in amusement parks anymore? You really don't want to stay there anymore? Don't regret it..."
Shi Kaili swallowed again, but on the surface she was still pretending.
She took Qu Xiao's arm and talked as she walked.
"What? Don't be ignorant. Let's go back early. There is no one in the dormitory, so no one will fight with you for the phone. I am doing it for your own good, so that you can have the phone to yourself. Call whoever you want.
.Let’s go, let’s go quickly, go back before four o’clock, maybe Brother Ning is still in the company..."
"Here you go again! I really pinched you..."
"Ouch! Really! Why do I want to chat with him? You obviously have something on your mind..."
Two tall girls walked and talked.
Just like that, he disappeared without any nostalgia into this completely American-style amusement park that is very attractive to children all over the world.
Who made this day New Year’s Eve?
It would be useless to let a nest of Mickey Mouse jump around these two girls. It would be wishful thinking to want them to stay.
All the entertainment and food that Asia's number one paradise has to offer were eclipsed on this day.
For the two girls, it was far less than a phone call to their parents, or a plate of dumplings made by themselves.
