For the sake of friendship and foreign exchange, Damao’s education system still attaches great importance to the training needs of the ‘Holy Light’. It was learned that there were 5,000 international students in the first batch, and various universities even competed for training places.
When the alliance disintegrated, a large number of government departments were destroyed, and it is extremely difficult to rebuild. Other systems may be able to sell some of their wealth to make money, but what can the education system sell?
Many meritorious old professors in Moscow are very old and live in shabby apartment buildings. They teach students with very meager salaries and cannot even afford fresh fruit on weekdays.
After the disintegration of the alliance, Moscow's fruits basically relied on imports, which were extremely expensive.
Some students have to go home and bring potatoes to school every week, otherwise they won't have enough to eat. As for female students coming out to do that, it's completely common.
Teacher Mao Zi will take the initiative to help introduce, hoping that foreign students can find a Mao girl girlfriend. As long as they can interact normally, this is even encouraged.
There are also people in Da Mao who criticize the "Holy Light", but this opinion was immediately criticized - who will pay the heating bill? In the winter in Moscow, you can endure being hungry, but if you don't have heating, you will die immediately.
so......
The teaching assistant who acted as a tour guide took Xiao Jinlang and the student representatives around GUM, but was surprised to find that they didn't buy anything.
The teaching assistant thought that those who came to study abroad were all "middle class" flower farmers, but he knew that all the students were holding on to their money and would not let go until they died.
The 'Gum' market specializes in selling high-end luxury goods, and the prices of the goods in the store are so high that even Xiao Jinlang can't afford them. The students' faces turned pale after a rough calculation.
Most of the first batch of "Holy Light" international students are poor children. Even if their families are wealthy, they are at most both parents working. Many of them come from deep mountain valleys and rarely go to the city. Their biggest dream is to have enough food and clothing.
Before coming to Moscow, these poor children didn't even have good clothes. It was the Holy Light that provided them with different sets of uniforms, otherwise they would freeze to death in the extremely cold place.
‘Holy Light’ gives each student fifty US dollars per month for living expenses, and scholarships for excellent academic performance. After realizing that this is foreign exchange, 99% of the students are determined to save up.
You can actually make money while studying abroad, but you have to send the money home. Anyway, you don’t have to spend money on food and drink in school, so you have to make your parents happy.
When the representative student returned from GUM, he vividly told other students how expensive things were in Moscow - a piece of bread cost a few dollars, a jar of candy cost more than ten dollars, and a set of clothes cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
It’s simply robbery!
The students who did not go shopping were all scared to death. From then on, they did not go out for a long time and all stayed in school to study. Teacher Mao Zi was extremely pleased, feeling that these students were too diligent.
After settling down the students, Xiao Jinlang finally had time to go to the Moscow branch of 'Holy Light' to find Zhou Qingfeng. When they met, he had to report the recent domestic situation.
Just after the Spring Festival, CCAV held a special program. The director of vocational education of "Holy Light", the fat German Karl, appeared in the program.
Karl appeared in a collection of blessings from "foreign friends" to the country and their views on the current economic situation. It was not specifically about promoting the "Holy Light".
In the video, the fat German man is identified as a "foreign technical expert working in China." I wonder if this is because the editor and director had a sudden inspiration and chose to report from the perspective of "foreigners looking at the country."
But I have to say that this perspective is very unique.
There are quite a few foreigners invited to the program.
Other foreign friends were all singing the "Wealth Code", but this damn fat guy told the truth and talked about what he said before on Tianyang TV again.
"The first week I arrived in Tianyang, I felt like everything was in trouble. It was shabby, old, numb, and imbecile. I was not optimistic about everything. I hated everyone I saw.
Not surprisingly, many employees in the company have low self-esteem in front of me. They dare not look up at me in person, but they like to watch me secretly behind my back.
People ask me, how can I go abroad? Girls come to me in the middle of the night and want to marry me. I thought I was very attractive at first, but I soon realized what reality is.
I said that Germany was once a very backward country, but no one believed me and said that I was too modest. Everyone took pride in belittling themselves and cursing society. This is simply crazy.
I advise colleagues in the group not to be embarrassed by the backwardness of the current situation. The ridicule and ridicule of others are just stumbling blocks.
There are no oceanic nations in this world. All nations are the same. You are neither gifted nor inherently despicable. You will succeed if you work hard, and you will fall behind if you slack off.
At least we Prussians have been stuck on land.
But no one believed me. They thought I was afraid of being coerced and didn't dare to tell the truth. But I told the truth.
Many people think about how to get rich suddenly. They only believe the news they want to believe, regardless of whether the news is true or false. But only fools have such wishful thinking.
You lack self-confidence so much that you have no ability to judge right from wrong. I really look down on some of you, and your bottomless flattery makes me sick."
This is Tianyang TV’s re-interview with Karl. CCAV edited part of it, at least the part about ‘100,000 monthly salary’ is gone.
But a foreigner's criticism from his own standpoint is undoubtedly a huge impact on the current impetuous domestic ideological trends.
This is like "going against the trend" and slaps many people in the face. If anyone else said these words, they would be ridiculed. Not even Zhou Qingfeng, because he does not have the face of a foreigner.
Xiao Jinlang sent a videotape to Zhou Qingfeng, and he now feels that Carl's "100,000 monthly salary" is really worth it. As long as this fat German doesn't act stupid in the future, he will have a meal ticket for the rest of his life.
"It would be great to have Karl and Watanabe on TV more and do an exclusive interview. Let them talk about the history of economic development in Germany and Japan and compare our current situation. The ratings will definitely explode!
Nowadays, it is difficult for Chinese people to go abroad, and they have an illusory understanding of foreign countries. Someone needs to explain the truth clearly and thoroughly.
Idiots have used their imaginations to describe a paradise-like European and American world, but no one has ever stood up and said a word about how to build their country into a real paradise.
Self-denying propaganda is too detrimental to us. It is necessary for foreigners like Karl to come forward and speak out to break this illusion. One sentence they say is worth ten thousand words we say."
Zhou Qingfeng was happy and angry at the same time. He complained: "Actually, I don't understand. This method of public opinion guidance is so simple. Just tell the truth. Why has no one used it before?"
Xiao Jinlang rolled his eyes, "You think it's easy to tell the truth? On the contrary, it's easier to lie. Do you know that the scenes of Karl in the past few minutes have caused an explosion of domestic public opinion.
Newspapers, magazines, television and radio, and all media are reporting on it. People are talking enthusiastically, writing letters, making phone calls, and even going to government departments to petition.
Some people think that Karl is 'loyal to the ear', that he is a real person and a good friend. There are also many people who are sad and think that Karl is a German spy. Those who criticize him and those who praise him are endless."
