"Are you saying that we still have a weak mentality?" Qian Ziqiang frowned and asked, feeling uncomfortable but trying to remain calm.
"Yes." Wang Ai turned back to look at the Brazilian night sky outside the window: "Actually, I used to be vaguely uncomfortable with some things, but I never thought about the reasons. For example, every time I heard BJ
What neighbors say makes foreigners uncomfortable. Why should foreigners be called 'old'? How do they deserve the word 'old'? In terms of long civilization, vast territory, national strength, and the level of human evolution, we are clearly older.
That’s right for foreigners.”
Qian Ziqiang laughed out loud: "Xiaowai?"
Wang Ai didn't take it seriously: "You practice martial arts and work in the top unit in our country. I think you should have touched this boundary. Also, the 'old beauty' that disgusts me even more is a 5,000-year-old girl.
The historical country calls a 200-year-old country old...is it cheap or not?"
Listening to Wang Ai's cold voice, Qian Ziqiang was startled, frowned and said: "It seems like a convention."
"Yes." Wang Ai sighed: "Where did the convention come from? The mentality of the weak is afraid of others. This is a long period of national trauma for several generations, so it permeates everywhere, such as culture
, folk custom. Do you think plastic surgery hospitals all use foreign faces as models? If you look at the field of education, those who study Chinese have to quote foreign literature when writing their papers?"...
Wang Ai shook his head and sighed. Qian Ziqiang knew that he actually wanted to say "cheap or not" just now, but in the end he didn't say it out loud. He felt that he couldn't simply blame those people.
Wang Ai raised his head with his hands behind his back. He didn't even know when Wei Di came out, so he said to himself: "I have been thinking about what the old overseas Chinese said today, and I have been thinking about it when I was upstairs just now. When the drug inspector came,
I also subconsciously wondered if I was afraid of him, why I was so obedient at first, but later I felt that I was not afraid, because I was not the only one who was treated like this. And I was forbearing for the greater good..."
"You are indeed not. You have defeated too many foreigners. In the world's largest sports, you become the number one, and most of your feet are foreigners, the strongest people in this field in foreign countries."
"Well." Wang Ai put his hands on the railing again and looked out the window: "I now feel the scars on our nation over the past hundred years. The pain seems to be on my body. The mental trauma.
…”
Wang Ai put his right hand on his chest, closed his eyes and shook his head gently: "That kind of temperament is probably possessed by thousands of people. I feel that I also have a bit of it. It seems that the highest pursuit is to be neither humble nor arrogant, just like I was interviewed after the game today.
It's like I habitually praise my opponents. But as a person of my status and influence, I'm not a politician. Why can't I be more relaxed and free? Why should I praise my opponent and say something that goes against my will? What if?
I really have a strong mentality, and I have a strong mentality for most of the history of our nation. Then I should be as straightforward and honest as those Western players, saying that I played well and my opponent lost.
It’s just a bad kick.”
"But you have supported the national confidence of many people with your achievements and solid performance." Wei Di, who had been listening, suddenly spoke. He put out the cigarette butt with a little force and walked over: "Can you realize these things that we didn't realize?
, you are worthy of being a philosopher. However, your main business is still football, national self-confidence, and social psychology. Professionals can do it..."
Sensing the faint sarcasm on Wang Ai's face, Wei Di blushed secretly: "Of course, they may not do well, but you have to understand a fundamental truth, material determines consciousness, right? You are a Marxist-Leninist scholar, when China
"The Chinese nation has become really strong in terms of hard conditions. How long do you think the weak mentality of the nation can persist?"
Wang Ai glanced at Qian Ziqiang: "A leader is a leader. Even strangers can keep up when talking about theories."
Wei Di laughed: "Do you think the years of education from the Party are empty words? What about meetings, study, and documents?"
Wang Ai tilted his head and looked back: "But you didn't expect it."
Wei Di pointed at Wang Ai and turned around to face the window. After a while, he said: "What you said today really inspired me. I told you not to be proud."
"Well, if you want to be proud, you have to be proud already."
"From your point of view, you are the pride of the nation. I have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of this title. Let's compare it with what you said about a century of decline." Wei Di said in a calm and coherent tone: "In the past, we called
National pride cannot be said to be a good thing, but it is more self-admiring, such as the four national quintessences. Martial arts is just a category of fighting in the world, and Chinese medicine is just a category of herbal medicine, and they are not even discussed at a distance.
It’s not mainstream. As for Peking Opera and calligraphy, if there are two fans nearby, even if they go abroad and have international influence... I think this kind of statement will have no impact on you, right?"
"Well, I've seen a lot." Wang Ai laughed: "Before going abroad, I also thought that China has a civilization of five thousand years, right? The Great Wall, right? In fact, when I go abroad, I don't even think Bruce Lee is famous. And
Bruce Lee's international reputation is only first in China, and in the worldview of most Europeans and Americans, China is just a barbaric land on the edge of the world."
"That's why I said... um." Wade shook his head when he said this: "You may be the most important person in the past hundred years to defeat Westerners and break Western superstition on the public stage under non-war conditions. However,
This is just my temporary feeling. Whether your achievements can reach this high level of evaluation in the future depends on the future."
Speaking of this, Wei Di suddenly showed a "naughty" smile: "If you get into any scandal, it will be over. I can't praise you even if I want to."
Wang Ai also smiled and shook his head: "Then it's not a matter of boasting. If I lose the position of my motherland, my achievements will not be as high, and even a fair evaluation will not be able to achieve it."
Wei Di patted Wang Ai's arm: "Okay, it's all about leisure and relaxation. Go back and rest early. How high you can reach in the future depends on your current hard work. Don't be like me who only thought about it when you were over sixty.
If you shouldn't do anything, it's too late, you still have a good time now."
Wang Ai walked back after hearing the sound, and Wei Di also walked with him: "Tomorrow we are going to El Salvador, and our opponent is... haha. If you want the people to change their name from Lao Mei to Xiao Mei, you have to work harder.
, Haha, Team USA.”
Qian Ziqiang, who was watching, clearly saw Wang Ai's eyes light up, like they were shining brightly.
