491. Ridiculing in public

She looked the old man up and down with contempt, and then retorted in fluent Chinese:

“Art is inherently good or bad, so why can’t we say it’s not good if we look at it?”

"Is this what you call the history and culture of the Han Dynasty?"

"Is this what is called relying on one's old age and selling one's old age?"

····

"you·····"

Although the woman's words were extremely rude, there was some truth in them.

The elderly man's thinking was already relatively slow. For a moment, he didn't know how to refute.

Seeing his speechless look, several foreigners looked at each other and immediately burst into laughter.

The old man felt his face burning.

My heartbeat accelerated for a moment, and a cramping feeling came from my heart.

The old man stretched out his hand to cover his heart, and fell backward in a daze.

Li Xiao had already noticed both sides of the dispute.

Seeing the old man's body trembling slightly, he immediately rushed forward and almost caught the old man before he fell to the ground.

I saw the old man fainted from anger.

Suddenly, there was an uproar around him.

Some people who were originally indifferent also turned their attention here.

Several foreigners who were originally smiling looked at each other.

They are students studying at the International Department of Chengdu University.

After searching some guides online, I took advantage of the holidays to visit Chengdu.

Although the reason why they opened their mouths was to laugh at the shadow puppet show.

Most of the reasons are indeed due to cultural differences in different countries.

As a result, these people are unable to appreciate Chinese traditional culture.

Of course, there is also a small part of the reason, which is due to my own inferiority complex.

Most of these people come from some emerging immigrant countries.

From the founding of the country to now, it only has a history of two to three hundred years.

Facing the Han Dynasty, which has a culture of more than 5,000 years, people naturally have an inferiority complex.

Now when I see something inferior to my own country, I immediately turn on the mocking mode with all my strength.

It seems that as long as the Han Dynasty has something inferior to their own country.

Then their country will appear more noble and advanced.

The fragile self-esteem in your heart can be satisfied immediately.

Li Xiao helped the old man to the chair.

After careful inspection, he found that the other party was just temporarily angry and had not recovered his breath.

So he quickly knelt down and helped gently relax his back.

"Thank you, young man, I'm fine."

Seeing that the old man's face returned to normal, Li Xiao stood up again.

He looked at the people in front of him coldly.

"Apologise, apologize immediately."

Several foreigners were at a loss when they saw an old man fainting because of their ridicule.

They are not heinous villains, but their pride makes them unwilling to apologize.

It was the scantily clad woman who stood up to provoke just now and spoke:

"Why are you apologizing? We are just discussing the matter. Is this the pattern of your country? You cannot tolerate others' bad opinions?"

Li Xiao's eyes turned cold, and he spoke in a serious tone:

"It is true that everyone is qualified to comment on the matter, but it is unfair to make comments openly when others are performing in public."

"First of all, the performers are not seeking your comments, and secondly, how much do you know about art."

"Do you have enough knowledge to publicly comment on other people's performances?"

"If not, please apologize immediately, thank you."

Li Xiao originally thought he had finished speaking these words.

Even if the other party doesn't apologize, he will immediately run away in despair.

What he didn't expect was to hear what he said.

Several people whose expressions had turned unsightly started laughing again.

A girl wearing a cool pink T-shirt and a pair of 7-point jeans, with snow-white skin and three-dimensional facial features and a shoulder-length ponytail, walked out from among the people.

"My name is McIntosh Donna, from a free country."

"Currently, I am a senior student in the Music Department of the International Department of Chengdu University."

"I studied modern symphony, and also minored in modern percussion, animation design and film composition."

"Then do you think I have enough professional qualifications to make criticism?"

"There are a total of 6 musicians on the stage, but the coordination is chaotic."

"There are more than 20 out-of-tune places."

"The rhythm of some speeches and martial arts movements are even completely out of touch with the music."

"If you insist on saying that there is nothing wrong with such a performance, I'm afraid I won't agree."

Her Chinese is much better than that of her companions.

If it weren't for the blond hair and blue eyes of the other party, and just by the sound of his voice, some people might have thought he was a native of Chengdu.

After her words fell, several of her companions immediately burst into laughter, seeming to laugh at Li Xiao's overestimation of his abilities.

After McIntosh Donna introduced herself to her home, whispers suddenly arose around her.

"No wonder you dare to be so arrogant. It turns out you are studying music."

"So what if I study music? What does a foreigner know?"

"When will we find foreigners who go wild in our country of Han?"

"But he is a professional, so his comments are more or less reasonable!"

"Is it really that bad? Why do I think it looks pretty?"

"The professionals say it doesn't look good, so let's just say a few words less!"

······

Amid a burst of discussion, Li Xiao spoke without changing his expression:

"In shadow puppetry, music is originally auxiliary."

"The speech, movement, lighting, scenery, and music of the shadow puppet show itself are all combined together to form the essence of the shadow puppet show."

"Do you use the knowledge and theory system of modern symphony and modern percussion to evaluate Han traditional folk performances?"

"Why do you think you are qualified to evaluate the quality of a shadow puppet show?"

"Besides, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the six musicians above are amateurs who came to help."

"Don't talk about the good, only talk about the bad, and criticize the shortcomings. Isn't this interesting?"

The girl with the big ponytail adjusted her hair, rolled her eyes, and said with some disdain:

"Modern music is inherently more advanced than ancient music, otherwise how could ancient music decline?"

"I use a more advanced knowledge theory system to analyze backward performances. Is there anything wrong with me?"

As she said this, she seemed to notice the professional camera on Li Xiao's seat.

She curled her lips and provoked disdainfully:

"Who did I think it was?"

"It's just a network anchor who is sensationalizing on the Internet."

"Who do you think you are? You are just clowns trying to make fun of you."

"Now that you are out of the limelight, go back and don't embarrass yourself again!"

"You are not qualified to talk to me about music knowledge!"

Li Xiao's face became increasingly ugly.

·······

Things have been quite busy recently, so I apologize for the late update.
