This newspaper turned out to be the Washington Post, which is the most mainstream newspaper in the United States, and the date was the day before yesterday. This kind of newspaper is only available in certain departments of the country. It is used to understand the trends in the United States and formulate relevant countermeasures for the leaders.
.
There was a section in the newspaper about the upcoming Olympics, and that because of the Soviet Union's absence, the United States was expected to win over fifty gold medals.
But most of them were political reports, such as criticizing Li He's policy toward China, saying that he had made moves to show favor to China, and that he wanted the government to be tougher on the Soviet Union and that it must be taught a lesson...
These news are all things that Liu Lang knows. This President Li is very famous in American history. His "Star Wars" plan, the scam of the century, indirectly made the Soviet Union a history. But this matter has to wait.
In a few years, if Liu Lang is fine by then, he might be able to take advantage of it...
“American public security is not very good!”
Liu Lang saw a lot of criticism about public security in the newspapers, criticizing the government for ignoring security issues. This situation is likely to have an impact on the Olympics.
"Oh, it seems you can really understand English!"
Moran smiled.
"My English level is second only to Chinese, but Sister Mo, you grew up and lived abroad, so you speak Chinese very well!"
"Haha, that Mu Xiaohu's mouth is really fast...! However, the United States is not as English-speaking as you think. It is a multi-racial country. I grew up in Chinatown, surrounded by Chinese people.
There’s no problem with Chinese.”
Moran replied.
"It's true that Chinatown is full of Chinese people. Many of their ancestors were workers who built the railways in the past. They dedicated their lives to the prosperity of the United States. Some even gave their lives. However, the United States is a predominantly white country.
They are very unfriendly to us Chinese. I remember they also enacted a Chinese Exclusion Act and suppressed us everywhere. They are really a bunch of annoying guys."
Liu Lang is very aware of this period of history. In the 21st century, the descendants of those Chinese workers also launched root-seeking activities and made the deeds of their ancestors public, which caused a huge sensation around the world. But now, many of those people
The deeds are not known to outsiders.
"What? Do you still know about the Chinese Exclusion Act?"
Moran was surprised when he heard this.
"Such a big thing is recorded in the book, of course I know it!"
"You, a child, know more than those 80 or 90-year-olds. No wonder even the elders value you so much."
"Sister Mo, Brother Xiaohu said that you are from the Hongmen. What is this Hongmen like?"
Liu Lang was very interested in the legendary Hongmen.
"Haha, what do you think Hongmen should be like?"
Moran asked rhetorically.
"How do I know? It should be some kind of organization, right?"
"Speaking of Hongmen, it has a long history, at least hundreds of years of history. However, overseas, Hongmen is not an organization, it is just a way for us Chinese to help each other. As you said, white Americans
It is very xenophobic, not only discriminatory against us Chinese, but also unfriendly to other races, such as black people. If we Chinese want to gain a foothold in the United States, we must unite, and Hongmen provides a way for us Chinese."
Moran explained briefly.
"If you want to gain a foothold in the United States, unity is one aspect, but the more important thing is to increase your own strength and continue to become stronger. If you reach the point where you can influence the U.S. economy, naturally no one will dare to look down on us!"
"Liu Lang, you are right. Many people envy those Chinese who go abroad and think that they have gone to heaven. In fact, this is not the case.
Although Chinese Americans have worked hard for so many years, they still cannot integrate into the upper class society. The reason is because our country is not strong. If the country is not strong, we have no confidence and will be bullied. Not only are bullies bullied by white people, but also black people.
They also bully us. If we don’t want to be bullied, our country must be strong, otherwise we won’t stand up, don’t you think?”
In Liu Lang's view, Moran's view is correct, but it is not comprehensive. What the Chinese need is not only the strength of the country, but also their own efforts.
Americans are a white world, let alone now, even in twenty or thirty years. Although they preach equality for all, Asians, African Americans and Latinos are still treated unequally in many aspects.
However, more than thirty years later, the United States had an African-American president, which greatly improved the status of black people. But deep down, white people still have deep contempt for people of other ethnic groups.
The Chinese are the most diligent race in the world and the race with the highest IQ. Such an excellent race is not treated as well as black people in the United States. This makes Liu Lang a little confused. Of course, Liu Lang is not discriminating against black people.
, but the fact is that black people are generally not as good as Chinese people in terms of educational attainment.
This may be related to the education that Chinese people receive. Chinese culture emphasizes restraint, reservation and humility, and rarely takes the initiative to argue with others. Black people are different. In history, Martin King fought fiercely with white people for the rights of black people.
And because the things they consider are simple, it is easier for black people to stick together. This is not something that Chinese people can compare with. Black people have become presidents, while the highest Chinese people can only be ministers. This is the difference.
But having said that, the rights you have are fundamentally determined by your own strength, and the Chinese are really not very good in this regard.
"After all these years, do we Chinese have any industries that we can produce? For example, factories or something like that?"
Liu Lang asked.
"Factory? Haha, we overseas Chinese are not capable of doing these jobs. More Chinese still rely on opening restaurants and building hotels. After all, our Chinese food is unparalleled in the world, and even many Americans admire it."
"How can this work? Industry is the foundation. Look at those white people, oil tycoons, and steel tycoons. They rely on these to make others respect you. Just cooking is useless!"
Liu Lang curled his lips.
"What you say is nice, little guy. We want to engage in these industries, but the white people don't even give you a chance. What should you do? You just sit and talk without pain in your back."
Moran replied with a smile.
"So... what about the high-tech industry? For example, are there any Chinese companies in Silicon Valley?"
The future is an era of high technology, and steel and oil will gradually decline.
"Computer? What is that?"
Moran was confused.
"Oh! Nothing, nothing! I didn't say anything!"
Liu Lang waved his hand.
"You little kid, no one knows what's going on in your head!"
It was just a short conversation, and Mo Lan also noticed the "mysterious" feeling in Liu Lang. He knew about domestic things, and he seemed to know a lot about foreign things. He didn't know where he got all this knowledge.
