Each country has its own distinctive characteristics, and so does the British Isles. The polite British gentlemen reveal an arrogant temperament deep in their bones, making them very difficult to approach.
From the royal family to the common people, the iconic hooked nose and balding tradition of men in the British Isles are like a curse.
Another one, originating from the tradition of the old British Empire, is that they like to award medals to people.
The reasons are also all kinds of strange, from community service to serving as a justice, from war hero to political evergreen, from artist to Hollywood movie star, almost everything is included.
a few years ago
Princess Diana once conveyed a similar intention, and the royal family was prepared to award Wang Yaocheng the Knight Commander Medal, but Wang Yaocheng politely refused at that time.
In 2000, Mr. Li Ka-shing received the KBE Knight Commander Medal, which was of the same level.
Now that several years have passed and Her Majesty the Princess has faded away, the British persist in repeating the same old saying and insist on awarding a medal to Wang Yaocheng.
When talking about British character, one must add stubbornness and unwillingness to change.
HSBC is about to acquire Smithsonian Bank. Out of 100 steps, 99 have been completed and the final tremor is just around the corner. Can anything go wrong at this time?
No way!
Wang Yaocheng looked for information related to the British Medal and did some research. After reading it, his face turned green.
The Grand Cross of Knighthood, the Commander of Knighthood, and the titles that are respectfully referred to as "Sir" are actually knighthoods for subordinate knights. They are just titles designed to fool people.
Especially the word "subordinate" really irritated Wang Yaocheng, and he was quite indifferent to it.
Yue Yue refused again, with hidden meaning behind the words;
As the world's richest man and a world-famous person who spreads British culture, the boss king should have the glory that suits his position.
I'm not interested in these...ahem.
Tolkien, the famous British writer, left behind six parts of The Lord of the Rings. The first part, The Lord of the Rings: An Unexpected Journey, was produced and distributed by Marvel Entertainment and has been a hit around the world, setting off waves of craze around the world. .
It has greatly expanded the influence of British literature, like a shot of stimulant, making people re-examine the declining British Isles.
"The Lord of the Rings: An Unexpected Journey" panoramically presents the British magical world, from clothing to architecture, from magical culture to the creation of the spirit of adventure, and the vision of pursuing an independent, free and beautiful life, all of which reflect its huge influence.
As a result, New Zealand director Peter Jackson gained worldwide fame, received major film awards one after another, and received the Knight Grand Cross from the British royal family.
At the rate of one film a year, the second film "The Lord of the Rings: The Desolation of Smaug" will be released globally in the summer of 2001. This is a grand event that movie fans are eagerly awaiting, and the pre-war promotion has already begun.

As the second installment in the global hit epic fantasy film series, "The Lord of the Rings: The Desolation of Smaug" was released in the 2001 summer season with its unshakable status as the king.
Other major Hollywood productions are avoiding the war and are avoiding the war. They will choose another time to release the film to avoid the huge positive impact of the upcoming "The Lord of the Rings: The Desolation of Smaug" on the movie box office.
According to the issuance plan
The third film in the series, "The Lord of the Rings: The Battle of the Five Armies," will be released in the summer of 2002. It is currently undergoing intense post-production of special effects, and it will not disappoint.
All these
It is enough to be blessed by the halo of the world's richest man and add a heavy weight.
March 20
Windsor Castle, St George's Chapel.
This day is the annual Medal of the Garter ceremony. Her Majesty the Queen personally awards the Order of the Garter, which symbolizes the highest honor of the royal family. Many members of the British royal family attended the ceremony.
Surrounded by royal guards in festive attire, nobles and celebrities gathered, all dressed in traditional classical aristocratic costumes.
Her Majesty the Queen arrived at the entrance of St. George's Chapel in a royal carriage. At this important ceremony, the Queen, as the eldest, was dressed very stylishly. She wore the Order of the Garter on her breast, which was studded with diamonds. In the middle of the badge was the red cross of St. George in commemoration of the dragon slaying.
Under the guidance of the protocol officer, Her Majesty the Queen climbed up the stairs with steady steps.
The royal guards wearing red protocol uniforms on both sides paid their highest salutes, the band played a magnificent symphony, and the investiture ceremony was solemn and solemn.
Many royal members and nobles behind the Queen are all Knights of the Garter, wearing traditional dark blue velvet cloaks and black velvet hats with white ostrich and black heron feathers.
The knights of the Garter wore a dazzling array of medals and ribbons, and when they moved around, they jingled like a peddler's stall.
Wang Yaocheng and Mo Yuxuan were all dressed in formal attire and stood at the steps of St. George's Chapel. They witnessed the traditional majesty of the British royal family and felt the full British aristocratic style, which gave them a special feeling in their hearts.
This year the Order of the Garter will be awarded to two great figures;
One is the British Field Marshal, His Excellency Lord Inge, and the other is Sir Anthony Aiknan. The former is just that, the latter is a famous publisher and a member of the traditional aristocratic circle.
Uh... Wang Yaocheng is not among them.
As the highest honor of the British royal family, the Order of the Garter is only awarded to prime ministers or foreign heads of state. It is not available to ordinary people.
for example;
In order to reward the former Prime Minister Churchill for his outstanding contribution in leading the Allied forces to defeat the German invaders in World War II, the royal family awarded Prime Minister Churchill the Order of the Garter and the title of Duke of London.
Major and Margaret Thatcher, who have served as prime ministers, are both recipients of the Order of the Garter.
Sir Anthony Aiknan comes from the Marquess family of Birmingham and is one of the traditional nobles. He won the award because his publishing house publishes the "Harry Potter" series of books globally and makes outstanding contributions to the promotion of British culture around the world.
Isn’t this reason ridiculous?
If this is the case, Wang Yaocheng can definitely say that I am also qualified to win the award, because my contribution to the spread of British culture is much greater than his.
There is never absolute equality in the world, and the same is true in the aristocratic circle.
Before the Order of the Garter Award Ceremony
As a warm-up ceremony, people including Mo Yuxuan, Du Bo and others stepped forward to receive knight-level commander medals, and more people received medals of lower categories, with a total number of more than 160 people.
Wang Yaocheng took the final stage, and Her Majesty the Queen personally awarded him the first-class honorary medal, and awarded him the title of baron and the symbolic fiefdom of Hong Kong and Kowloon.
This first-level honorary title, limited to 65 people worldwide, is awarded to those who are of great significance to the country and have made outstanding contributions.
Professor Hawking, the famous academician of the British Royal Academy, once received this honor. He can add CH as the suffix of his name to show his honor.

After the awarding speech was announced, the audience burst into warm applause.
Wang Yaocheng, wearing a scarlet cloak and a medal with a ribbon, accepted congratulations in the eyes of everyone with envy, showing a restoration style that was lagging behind the times.

In order for enterprises to develop and integrate into European and American upper class society, some necessary compromises must still be made.
Only in this way can they be recognized as the same kind of people.
Wang Yaocheng plans to be a white-skinned, yellow-hearted egg man who breaks into Europe and the United States. As long as he does not forget his ancestors, the Yanhuang blood flowing in his body, and his beloved homeland, everything else can be discussed.
