Zoneborn curled his lips secretly. Chinese people always do this. They show off their history when talking about problems.
"But you are the Third World now, aren't you? Oh, Third World leaders?"
"Yes, but you should think further about why ancient Greece was so prosperous and ancient Rome almost unified the Mediterranean, but now it is fragmented." Wang Ai said unyieldingly: "This is the cycle of history. It is precisely because of our long-term
Prosperous and powerful, that’s why we were overconfident and gave you the opportunity to overtake us. Just as the democracy of ancient Rome was later replaced by the emperor’s dictatorship, just as your Germany was extremely advanced in science and technology and military in the last century, leading the world, and then was eliminated through war.
It’s like getting back to your original shape.”
Huang Jianxiang almost applauded Wang Ai. He had seen, heard, read, and read too many Chinese self-criticisms in modern history, but this was the first time he heard Wang Ai's explanation.
"So, there is no witchcraft in China. We are in Tübingen and we are part of this city. Tübingen Youth is a team organized by international students from this university to repay the care of German society and continue to receive
We are a professional team that developed out of the love of the German people. We use wonderful games to make the people happy and satisfied, and the people will give us love and support. This has nothing to do with the Chinese and is a universal rule in the football world."
"So, you are taking the opportunity to brainwash us?" Zoneborn said proudly: "I went to Nuremberg specially to see your exhibition. Isn't it unexpected?"
Wang Ai raised his eyebrows, then nodded sincerely: "Thank you for your support, although the exhibition is free."
"No! That's not what I want to say. What I want to say is about your invasion of Tibet. You have not apologized yet, let alone withdrawn and given freedom to the Tibetan people!"
Seeing Zoneborn's excited and red face, Wang Ai was stunned for a moment, and then he felt pity as if looking at a mentally retarded person.
"Twelve years ago when the two Germanys merged, can I say that West Germany invaded and occupied East Germany?"
"How is that possible? We are originally one country, one nation, and one language!"
"So, Tibet was already part of China in the early days of your Germans' first country, the Holy Roman Empire. Since then, Tibet has had no king, only centrally appointed officials. Since you think you have 'since ancient times'
We’re just a country, why can’t we?”
"That's different!" Zoneborn retorted subconsciously. After thinking for a while, he slowly said: "We are one nation and one language, so we are one country. You are different. Tibet has its own nation and
language."
"I suggest you say this to Bush." Wang Ai mocked: "The United States has the British, French, Germans, Dutch, Irish and aboriginal people, and its history is very short. Maybe you can say it now.
Is it too late? Do you think the President of the United States will agree to divide the country along ethnic lines?"
"I……"
"By the way, which school did you graduate from? What is your academic qualifications?" Wang Ai suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
"Bachelor of Journalism at the University of Bochum." Zoneborn said it subconsciously.
"Oh." Wang Ai nodded and relaxed on the sofa: "As a doctor, the owner of two master's degrees, a member of the Chinese Youth Philosophical Society, and a foreign member of the German Philosophical Society, I can understand your cognitive difficulties.
Chaos, after all, you have not experienced the influence of advanced knowledge. Really, I understand you."
"I……"
"No, no." Wang Ai shook his head and said gently and considerately: "You don't have to feel inferior. Although your education is not high, you are doing a good job now, right? At least you have the courage to show your ignorance and give yourself a
Opportunities for improvement.”
The rigorous character of the Germans makes a doctorate very valuable in Germany. Even the proud Zoneborn would not question the value of the doctorate certificate issued to Wang Ai by the University of Tübingen.
Seeing that Zoneborn was much more honest, Wang Ai patiently pointed out: "Your cognitive errors are based on your logical errors. I will give you a very clear example later to tell you that your cognitive errors are based on your logical errors."
Where is your mistake? Now let me analyze the source of your mistake first, okay?"
Zoneborn wanted to say: I am interviewing you today, not asking you to teach me a lesson.
Wang Ai shook his head: "I'm not talking to you alone. I want you to wake up many people who have the same wrong understanding as you. As a doctor trained by a German university, I have an obligation to help the German people correct their wrong understanding."
Zoneborn shook his head and spread his hands: "Okay, Dr. Wang."
"Your logical error is that you saw the strength of Germany and established the understanding that everything in Germany is correct. From then on, you will think that everything that is different from Germany is wrong. Then China is a one-party system.
The socialist country is distant and mysterious, and is incompatible with German society. So in your opinion, everything in China is wrong and needs to be corrected, or in other words, needs to be 'Germanized' or 'Westernized'.
But the first step of your logic is wrong."
"Theory comes from reality and guides reality." Zoneborn retorted: "Although I am from the original West Germany, I have read Marx's materialist dialectics! It is precisely because the strength of Germany proves that the German path is correct. For
What’s wrong with helping people in backward countries enjoy a better life and using German theory to guide them? Even the Marx you believe in is also German!”
"The mistake in your logic is that you don't study well." Wang Ai hit home immediately.
"You only see the present, but not the past. The West is two hundred years ahead, and humans have written history for more than two thousand years. For eighteen hundred years, China was the leader. So according to your
The logic of Germany at that time was wrong in every field. Germany could develop only if it was 'Sinicized'. What was the result? Germany developed without learning from China. What does this mean?"
"History is like the stock market. It has peaks and troughs. You can't abolish the stock market just because the troughs are coming. You can't say that China made a mistake just because it fell behind for a while, just like you can't say that China made a mistake just because Germany launched two world wars.
In the war, all Germans will commit suicide and Germany will exterminate itself."
Zoneborn once again experienced the power of "logic". This was the first time for the two Chinese reporters to see Wang Ai's full-throated side. They couldn't help but feel happy for the Chinese Football Association. It turned out that the quarrel between Dr. Wang and you in the past was actually nothing more.
