When the train starts again, the Americans on the train look at the Chinese people differently.

Just four years ago, the United States and the Qing Empire had just signed the "Pu'anchen Treaty", which is the "Treasury of Renewal of the Sino-US Tianjin Treaty". The "Pu'anchen Treaty" was the first equal treaty signed by the Qing Empire and other countries.

The signing of the Pu'anchen Treaty marks the establishment of formal friendly relations between the United States and the Qing Empire. The United States gave the Qing Empire the most favorable treatment. The treaty stipulates that citizens of both countries are exempt from religious persecution within the other party, and both governments respect the freedom of immigration.

The signing of the Pu'anchen Treaty opened the door for Chinese workers to immigrate to the United States, and was also one of the important reasons why the Qing government sent "remaining children" to the United States.

Although the Pu'anchen Treaty established the reciprocal status between the United States and the Qing Empire in the form of Western international law, because Chinese people engaged in heavy physical labor in the United States, the social status of Chinese people in the United States is not high, at least not consistent with the contributions made by Chinese people in the process of building the United States. Because of the diligence, good management and obedience of Chinese people, and the insensitive salary requirements, many American factory owners or mine owners chose to hire Chinese rather than Western white people, which made many Western white people exclusion or even hostile towards Chinese people, believing that Chinese people had taken away their job opportunities.

Look, some Americans during this period are really similar to some monkeys in Southeast Asia in the 20th century. When they encounter problems, they never look for reasons from themselves. They just blindly push the blame to others. Chinese people who seem cowardly and fear things but don’t care about politics have become the best scapegoats.

So before Li Mu arrived in the United States, most Americans did not have a good attitude towards Chinese. Even if there was no conflict of interest, they could not be hostile, and many Americans' understanding of Chinese was probably only at the level of "a group of dirty and smelly cheap laborers."

Because of the conflict between Eastern and Western languages ​​and the group nature of Chinese people have further increased the gap between Chinese and Western white people. So if there is no accident, the United States will introduce the "Anti-Chinese Act" in about ten years, which will restrict Chinese people from entering the United States from a legal perspective.

When Li Mu learned about this fact, Li Mu's ideal began to change a little.

Originally, Li Mu's ideal was to become the largest apartment in the world, but now, improving the social status of Chinese people in the United States and preventing the United States from passing the "Chinese Exclusion Act" has become Li Mu's top priority.

It is certainly a shame for the United States to introduce legal documents such as the "Chinese Exclusion Act" for a race, but it is even more of a nightmare for Chinese people living in the United States.

Li Mu has made up his mind to leave the Qing Empire, so for his future considerations, Li Mu also wants to prevent the United States from passing the "Chinese Exclusion Act".

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is skinny. Li Mu does not have enough strength yet. It is even more fantasy to prevent the United States from passing the "Chinese Exclusion Act". To achieve its goal, Li Mu still has more work to do.

As for the moment, most of the Americans on the train were ordinary Americans, so before today, these Americans looked at the Chinese without being friendly. Although they could not be disgusted, mockery and contempt were inevitable. Especially after the young children were hungry last night, Li Mu did not believe that the Americans in the car would know nothing, but since they had no expression at that time, Li Mu would not pity them now.

After the "food grab" this morning, the Americans in the car looked at the Chinese again. There was no longer just ridicule and contempt in their eyes, but more disgust and hatred, especially for Li Mu, the "culprit" who has been in command. The hatred in their eyes was simply unconcealed.

Li Mu was very happy about this change. This was not because of Li Mu's pervert, but because of the hatred in the eyes of Americans looking at Chinese.

The feeling of hatred is much stronger than mockery. Only when Americans feel personal pain can Americans hate Chinese. This is different from the previous mockery. If mockery means that Americans have never faced the reality of Chinese before, then now Chinese can finally face Americans face it. This is a change that satisfies Li Mu. Although it is not satisfactory, it also represents considerable progress.

Only those who violate their own personal interests and are helpless will hate them. If the object is insignificant, such as if the summer bites your mosquito, then you will be beaten to death and you will not be in the mood to hate them.

Corresponding to the hatred of Americans is the intimacy and admiration that appear in the eyes of young children looking at Li Mu.

The civilians of the Qing Empire not only lowered their heads against foreigners, but also lowered their heads against Qing Empire officials. Therefore, the civilians of the Qing Empire were "third-class citizens."

Before this, these "future pillars" of the Qing Empire probably never had any idea of ​​"abnormality". They followed the rules when facing young children led by Old Man Chen, and even stayed away from foreigners.

Li Mu is actually one of them, but Li Mu dares to argue with Old Man Chen and dares to grab food from foreigners. If the disagreement with Old Man Chen is "deviant" and then he dares to grab food from foreigners and can successfully grab it, which makes the children admire him.

They are all children, they eat people with short hands and soft mouths. It should not be too simple to win over them.

Just when Li Mu wanted to strike while the iron was hot and then win some favors for the children, Mike led the little girl's father over here.

"Reim, this is Mr. Olivera of the Connecticut Education Bureau. I think you should have a very common language." After Mike introduced, he blinked at Li Mu proudly.

"Hello, Mr. Oliveira, I'm glad to know you." Li Mu immediately became enthusiastic, and shook hands with Oliveira as if he had met his relatives who had been reunited after a long time.

"Reim, I'm very happy to know you-" Oliveira was very uncomfortable in the face of Li Mu's enthusiasm.

Just an hour ago, it was because of Li Mu's momentary good intentions that the Oliveira's family would not go hungry. Oliveira must have not forgotten so quickly.

So Li Mu is so enthusiastic now, his motivation is indeed suspicious.

In fact, Li Mu did not understand the situation. The current Education Bureau in the United States is different from the Education Bureau in the 21st Century Republic. It is just a service department, not a management department. The entire Education Bureau even has only three people. Their tasks are limited to collecting and organizing information about school institutions, management, systems and teaching, and then providing the obtained information and results to government agencies and the public in order to further promote the development of education in Connecticut.
