What is the most intuitive way to express kindness?
It is not about obeying orders, which is the bounden duty of a soldier, nor is it about expressing goodwill verbally, as this kind of goodwill has no persuasiveness, and action is the most intuitive expression.
For example, taking the initiative to take an English name, taking the initiative to naturalize in Cape Town, or marrying a white wife and forming a transnational family are all the most intuitive expressions.
People will yearn for beautiful things. This is irreversible human nature. In the current world, the United Kingdom is the most powerful country on the earth, so in the eyes of the vast majority of British people, the United Kingdom should have the greatest attraction. All people in the world
Everyone should be proud to be British. This is what Indians do, so in the eyes of the British, Indians can be trusted. If the Chinese are against everything British, then the Chinese cannot be trusted. It is a simple reasoning.
In fact, many Chinese people also think so. If a person can obviously be prosperous and wealthy, but is willing to be poor, then this person is incomprehensible; if a person insists on doing something with no future for decades but does not want to make progress,
Then this person is a fool; if a person can obviously earn a lot of money, but because of some persistence, he is trapped in poverty, then this person deserves to be laughed at.
What is really incomprehensible is the complexity of human nature. The professors who have returned from studying abroad and have been doing scientific research in the mountains for decades, and the lazy people who receive subsistence allowances every day but refuse to go out to find a job, are both beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The act of understanding, but the meanings of the two are definitely different.
In the past, the behavior of Chinese policemen was difficult to understand and could not be judged by common sense in the eyes of police officers. In other words, in the eyes of the British, the Chinese policemen had weird personalities and were not normal people, so the British would not treat Chinese policemen
True trust.
In the eyes of the British, Rock's current behavior is what a normal person should do. The British are obviously happy to see Rock like this.
Rock didn't know that something wonderful was about to happen. After coming into contact with the housing prices in Cape Town, Rock realized that his thoughts were still too simple. Rock's current wealth was just over fifty pounds, which was far from enough money to live in Cape Town.
I want to buy a house in London, a dilapidated wooden house near the dock. The owner's asking price is 150 pounds. If this money was invested in the capital of the Qing Dynasty, it could almost buy a courtyard house.
Houses in the city center are more expensive. A wooden house with a marble foundation and a loft near Government Street is worth 280 pounds. Even if Roark's salary is increased to 5 pounds, he will have to go without food and water for more than four years to buy it.
"It's good for us to live in the dormitory. There is no shortage of food and drink. Why should we buy our own house?" Li De didn't understand why Roque wanted to buy a house. The Cape Town Police Department provides free meals and dormitories to all police officers.
, the conditions are quite good. Even if the Indian policemen are naturalized in Cape Town, they still live in dormitories and go to the canteen every day to get free meals.
"Reed, if you want others to think highly of you, you must first think highly of yourself. Have you seen any British people taking advantage of the free canteen?" Rock has his own reasons. The British let the Indian police take advantage, but the British
You will never look down upon Indian police officers, nor will you give Indian police officers equal status. If you don’t treat yourself as a human being, how can you expect others to treat you as a human being?
"How about we go back and borrow it? Brothers can still raise 150 pounds if they pool their money." Li De actively helped Roque find a way. Although Li De still didn't quite understand why Roque wanted to buy a house, Li De didn't know how.
Questioning Rock's decision, in Li De's case, Rock's words are what they say.
We can indeed get it together. The total of the votes earned last night seems to be 150 pounds. If Rock opens his mouth, everyone will lend the money to Rock.
Of course, I will borrow it, but everyone will definitely not feel comfortable. The money in their own pockets is money. Although this money is what Rock found, but now that everyone has divided it, Rock will no longer
What's more, Rock wouldn't spend 150 pounds to buy an old wooden house. Rock even doubted whether the house could still be lived in.
"Don't worry, if we can't buy a house, we will build it ourselves. It won't cost much to build a house." Rock decided to be self-reliant. Urban construction in this era was still in its primitive stage, and many new immigrants directly built shacks in the suburbs of Cape Town.
It was able to survive, and the city hall was not demolished. Roque finally had some money in his hands now. It was not enough to buy a house, so building one would definitely be enough.
"We can't build our own houses!" Li De didn't expect that Roque actually planned to build his own. The structure of houses in Cape Town was different from that in the Qing Dynasty, and the Chinese were not familiar with this kind of building structure.
In fact, self-building a house is not unfamiliar to the Chinese. Many Chinese do not need to invite anyone when they build a house. They invite their neighbors to have a meal, and everyone will take the initiative to help. If they don’t know how to build walls, they will move bricks.
With more people and greater strength, a house can be erected in ten or eight days.
Houses in Cape Town are mainly made of stone and wood. Rich people use marble to build their houses. The houses built are beautiful and strong and will not break down after hundreds of years of use.
Those who have no money can only use wood to build their houses. Although it will be affected by weather and insect pests, it can be used to protect against wind and rain.
"It's simple. You can see it at a glance. It's much simpler than building a house in the Qing Dynasty." Luo Ke didn't worry about this problem. The houses in the Qing Dynasty were made of bricks and tiles. In terms of complexity, it was much more complicated than building a house with wood.
Building a house with stones is actually similar to building a building with building blocks. With the intelligence of the Chinese, they can almost do it at a glance.
The work of the patrol police was still very monotonous. Roque and Li De wandered the streets for a whole day. Not to mention the rioters, they didn't even see anyone fighting.
No one dared to make trouble. The defeat at the Battle of Ladysmith seriously stimulated the British self-esteem. After the resignation of the Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force, General Buller, the British Prime Minister Lord Salisbury appointed Lord Roberts as the new Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force.
Reinforcements have been dispatched from the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. In the past few days, troop transports have arrived in Cape Town every day. It won't be long before Cape Town becomes a military city. If you dare to cause trouble at this time, you are seeking death.
.
Of course, the Boers cannot judge it with common sense. The Second Boer War was initiated by the Boers, and the British responded passively. This is as incredible as Somalia actively declaring war on the United States in the 21st century. On Rock's side
Just because everything was fine doesn't mean that others were fine too. At three o'clock in the afternoon, another group of patrolmen was attacked. Two patrolmen died on the spot, one of whom was Indian and the other Chinese.
This is the fifth consecutive attack on patrol officers.
