Chapter 1612 Youth and Country: Traveling with the whole class (24)
Gu Mo looked at Xia Hu and said, "You don't have to leave your name to be qualified to be a big shot. The history is so long and there are countless heroes throughout the ages. Only two or three can be recorded. If you are lucky enough to know him, then remember him.
Live in his name."
Xia Hu felt a little disappointed, and even tried to find the place where they buried He Yaonian.
But that mountain had long been razed to the ground by developers and high-rise buildings had been built. He tried his best to find out whether the workers had dug any graves of martyrs when the land was being developed.
Finally, someone told him, "We dug up a lot of them, some with tombstones and some without. Later, the relevant departments came over and took away all the bones. I heard that they were all buried in the Martyrs' Mausoleum..."
Xia Hu went to the Martyrs' Mausoleum again. The names on the Martyrs' Tombs were densely packed, and these were just those who were lucky enough to leave their names...
Through a dream, they glimpsed the hardships of their predecessors, but in fact they only scratched the surface of it.
Xia Hu's eyes were red, and he finally found He Yaonian's name among them...
Because some people don't know his specific deeds and only know that he was a hero who was killed by the imperial court, so there are only three words on the monument - He Yaonian.
There is only one name, but it is enough to make people awe-inspiring.
"Sir, you see, future generations have you in their hearts, they all know your name..."
Xia Hu cried as he spoke. Those who came to worship with flowers were infected by Xia Hu's cries, especially those who were older. They never expected that young people would come to the cemetery to worship.
I paid homage to my ancestors and even cried like that.
An old man came up to comfort him and said, "Young man, don't cry. Study hard and serve the country. Let this country be as strong and confident as they expected. Don't let down their sacrifices. They died in peace."
Xia Hu raised his head and said firmly, "I will study hard! I will let them see that we have not let down what they have brought to us with their sacrifices! Although today's China no longer needs us to go to school
We will bleed and die on the battlefield, but we will not stop fighting!"
The old man showed a look of relief, "Hey, young people are so enlightened. They must have good academic performance. How many scores did they get in the exam?
Xia Hu's expression froze. He really had no face to say in front of his Mr. He that he was a scumbag and usually just hang out with Lingdan, so he finally ran away.
After running far away, Xia Hu looked back.
He probably won't be able to see Mr. He for a long time, after all, he really has no face.
When he gets good academic performance in the future and gets a perfect score in Keke, he will definitely tell Mr. He with his head held high!
On his way back, Xia Hu used his pocket money to buy a bunch of study materials at the bookstore. From now on, he will work hard and study hard!
When he got home, he saw his sister holding her cell phone and typing away with an extremely angry expression.
"These people are sick, right? What's wrong with their squinting eyes? It's nothing, isn't it? People already look like this. If I have to say it, wouldn't the European-style double eyelids make them more advocating for foreigners?"
Xia Hu squinted his eyes when he heard this, remembering some not-so-good things in his dream, and looked at his sister.
"Sister, what are you looking at..."
"It's just that some crazy people on the Internet saw my idol with squinty eyes and said they were discriminating against Chinese people. What does he look like? Is that something they can decide?"
Xia Hu knew that his sister had recently fallen in love with a male model. He was extremely handsome and had a great figure. His sister was so obsessed with him that she held her phone and licked the screen all day long.
Xia Hu did not express his position first, but first learned about the cause and effect of the incident online.
The cause originated from a nut brand, which hired a male model to shoot a set of promotional ads. The result was that the male model was given a pair of squinty eyes. The normal eyes of the male model were drawn into slits, and the ends of the eyes poked directly into the temples.
Went there, and also highlighted the male model’s high cheekbones.
As we all know, having high cheekbones and narrow eyes is a stereotype of Chinese people in foreign countries, which carries contempt and insult.
Naturally, this male model was scolded.
But Xia Hu discovered that netizens were not targeting the narrow eyes themselves, because there are indeed some people with this eye shape. What can the mother do?
Netizens are targeting the fact that the model's eyes are obviously not like this, but they are deliberately made up to look like this. The model's cheekbones are not that high, but the makeup emphasizes the high cheekbones and slender eyes.
Moreover, in the model’s previous videos, she intentionally pulled her eyes with her hands many times.
This is an internationally recognized gesture that insults Chinese people. It is impossible to avoid scolding the model.
Seeing that his sister was still holding her cell phone and defending the male model, Xia Hu said, "Sister, are you mentally retarded? Don't you have the ability to distinguish right from wrong?"
"What?"
Xia Hu and his sister were stunned for a moment, then immediately jumped to their feet after reacting, "Xia Hu, are you looking for death? Is this your attitude towards your sister?"
After saying that, he hit Xia Hu with the book, and Xia Hu quickly hid, "If you know right from wrong, how could you be led by others and still speak for that model online? What is the responsibility of the company, it has nothing to do with him,
He often hangs out in the international modeling circle, doesn’t he know what this action means? But he did it more than once, and he did it on purpose! He despises the Chinese people and wants to make money from the Chinese people. He deserves to be scolded!"
Xia Hu's sister's chest kept rising and falling with anger, "Damn it, Xia Hu, come here! I will beat you to death today!"
Xia Hu has always been afraid of his tough sister. Usually, his sister does whatever she says, but now he insists on having a dispute with his sister.
"I'm just discussing the matter. You graduated from the history department of the university. You should know that squinting eyes and high cheekbones do not correspond to the racial characteristics of Chinese people. It is because in the last century, many Chinese people were trafficked abroad because of their livelihood problems. They went abroad.
The only way to do this is to be locked up in a dark cabin for a long time, without seeing the light of day in dozens of ships across the ocean, without food or water. By the time he was released from the cabin, he was so thin that his cheekbones were bulging and he could not open his eyes.
Now, those people who are pulling their eyes out intentionally or unintentionally are using the suffering our great-grandfathers have experienced to discriminate and insult us!"
If Xia Hu hadn't witnessed many crooked nuts doing this in his dream, he probably wouldn't be so angry!
At that time, it was their ancestors who were insulted by this action, but now it is the younger generations who are forgiven. It is obvious that the other party is discriminating against you, and you still have to find evidence to prove that the other party is right. How can you make the ancestors who suffered those hardships feel so embarrassed?
"You are right about one thing. This is not a problem of models alone. Brands also have big problems. Many companies in our country have been brainwashed by Western standards and have been trying to shape our aesthetics according to Western requirements.
But we cannot be so willing to be brainwashed and applaud their insults to us!"
