    Chapter 107: Mayor Wang Meiling¡¯s Sigh (Part 2) ¡°Although some people often say that we Chinese people have great integration capabilities, many other ethnic groups have been absorbed and assimilated by us in history. For example, the Qiang people and the Dangxiang people  , Huns, Khitans, etc. have all disappeared in the long river of history. Even the Manchus are now just an academic name to a large extent. But in fact, according to the analysis of domestic think tanks, from the perspective of big history.  From a macro perspective, our Chinese civilization is actually a civilization with relatively poor communication and assimilation capabilities. In other words, it is a living fossil of civilization like the panda." Mayor Wang Meiling said so eloquently, "of course.  This is not to say how backward Chinese civilization is, but to say that our enthusiasm and initiative in spreading civilization have not been very strong since a long time ago. Whether in terms of software or hardware, we have not done a good job in becoming a world civilization.  The result was that before entering modern times, European missionaries were not afraid of hardships and dangers with their enthusiasm, holding high the cross and traveling all over the world, spreading the glory of God to China.  In every corner of the world, the Islam (Anti-Harmony) religion relies on a single scripture, which can only enter and exit, and its ability to assimilate is so strong that it is evil, even when it is seriously declining and backward.  We have resisted the wave of modernization and expanded aggressively, directly entering the core hinterland of developed countries in Europe and the United States. But we Chinese, relying on our vast land, large population, and huge civilization, have been able to communicate with each other.  He got a failing answer. Confucianism only has some influence in North Korea, Japan and Vietnam, and Taoism has not even been able to enter the country. However, some Buddhist monks and some Christian missionaries have traveled all over the world to spread their faith.  In modern times, it has been retreating steadily, and it no longer has the strong vitality of the early eastward spread. Could it be that ancient China was not strong enough? Of course not, the so-called "Central Empire" at that time was so ugly.  The title is not a boast for us Chinese to put money on our faces, but a fact that is unanimously recognized by the Eastern world. But the problem is that because Chinese civilization has been unique in the East for too long, we have had a central empire since ancient times.  The mentality is rarely like that of the Spanish missionaries who spread the gospel of Christ at the stake, the American human rights organizations who used missiles to force democracy, and the Arabs who wielded machetes in one hand and scriptures in the other, who would not hesitate to travel far across the ocean to forcefully sell their religion to others.  Culture. On the contrary, in history, it was basically people from other ethnic groups who took the initiative to study in China, like the Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty, who brought Chinese culture out. The so-called mission of "civilizing barbarians" has long been forgotten by Confucian scholars.  Where has it gone? Moreover, as the carrier of Chinese civilization, our Chinese language itself is too old and has problems in spreading. Americans once organized a survey of outstanding college students in Ivy League colleges and found that if they learn French or  German generally only requires 500 to 600 class hours. Even learning Japanese or Russian with large cultural differences only requires more than 1,200 class hours.  Learning Chinese requires at least 2,000 class hours. Even after studying 2,000 class hours, I still can¡¯t understand Chinese martial arts TV series and I need to find a Chinese translator.  Of course, this is mainly because Chinese is too old and belongs to hieroglyphics.  Other mainstream languages ????in the world are alphabetic scripts, even South Korea and Japan, which are deeply influenced by Chinese culture.  Therefore, it will be very difficult for foreigners to learn Chinese.  But this also shows that even if our national power surpasses that of the United States, it will be much more difficult for other nationalities around the world to communicate in Chinese than for Americans to promote English to the world Such a series of congenital shortcomings have made our Chinese civilization  Although it has plenty of resilience and flexibility, its external influence is really not enough.  In the past few years, although the country has invested heavily in setting up many Confucius Institutes overseas in an attempt to promote Chinese traditional culture to the world, the result has been half the effort and little effect.  The understanding and acceptance of Chinese culture by the people of those third world countries is much worse than Christianity and American democracy!  On the other hand, the translated fantasy novels and fairy tale novels, as well as the adapted film and television dramas and animations are still selling well Ahem, back to the topic, it is conceivable that even in the future population explosion crisis, our government will be under pressure  We have spent huge sums of money to save hundreds of millions of Africans, South Asians and Middle Easterners, but it is still difficult for them to accept our culture and values ??and integrate into our social system" (Even the legendary and mysterious Mayan characters  , is actually the same type of alphabetic script as English. However, the Mayan civilization has always existed among various countries, and there has never been a unified standard for writing letters. For example, a certain letter is only represented by an animal head. As a result, different Mayans may write it as  Fish head, bird head, tiger head and dog head, but they have the same pronunciation. At first glance, they may be thought to be hieroglyphs.)   At this point, Mayor Wang Meiling spread her hands and concluded, "since China cannot integrate them and will not get much benefit from them, it will even be difficult to penetrate them culturally, and the finances will probably not be able to sustain it.  Faced with the hostility and destruction of European and American countries, the most correct choice is naturally to ignore the matter. After all, it is their own life. How can they not try to save themselves and still want to rely on us? "  In the final analysis, things in this world are always about talking about doctrine and thinking about business.  No one has good intentions without reason: European and American missionaries engage in charity to "expand the flock of God", international human rights organizations engage in charity to promote American democracy, and Chinese people only go abroad to do business. If they engage in charity,  What traditional spiritual and cultural products can be promoted?  Or use "The Analects of Confucius" to "civilize the barbarians"?  Since you don¡¯t even get any decent benefits, it¡¯s just a matter of throwing a few small coins to send the beggars away. If you really want to take out the coffin book, who is willing to do it?  Therefore, facing the impending population crisis, China has both objective difficulties and a lack of subjective motivation. It doesn¡¯t want to take care of it, but it can¡¯t.  More importantly, even if these people of different races and civilizations are saved, it will be difficult for them to "naturalize" and move on to the "right path" of industrialization and secularization.  And if we ignore them after saving them, the bomb of the population crisis will continue to expand until an even more tragic explosion occurs.  And if even China, which has obtained the super-light space folding navigation method from the alien spacecraft Macross, obtained cold nuclear fusion technology from another world, has endless energy, and is heading towards the sea of ??stars, is still unwilling to save these rapidly expanding  of the third world population.  Then the attitudes of other countries are even more conceivable So Comrade Li Wei, who had been used to famine and plague, war and massacre in other worlds, and was tired of death and destruction, found that after returning to modern earth,  It is really possible that I will witness such a cruel scene again in my lifetime. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?of ? ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù When Li Wei sighed and left sadly,  Ma Tong, who was appointed by Wang Meiling as the mayor's assistant, ran over wearing a women's suit, holding a tablet computer, and asked Wang Meiling for instructions, "Auntie Wang, this birthday banquet will be given to the monarchs and monarchs of surrounding countries.  Except for the fact that the Elbei Domain is still in the middle of a civil war and it is really inconvenient to invite them, most of the monarchs and nobles have happily accepted the invitations. Only Queen Pinna said that she was busy with state affairs.  Get ready and prepare to send her prime minister to come with gifts to congratulate you" "Don't want to come to the banquet in person? Tsk tsk! This little girl has a lot of airs After all, she is already the queen.  ?¡± Mayor Wang Meiling curled her lips in disapproval, ¡°¡­Is there anything else?¡± ¡°¡­Well, in order to express the city¡¯s celebration, you require all businesses in the city to be closed six days before and after the birthday banquet.  We have encountered some troubles about the 20% discount. Our own shops are quite generous, but the indigenous shops outside the city are generally reluctant" After the prosperity and development in the past few years, as a link between the two  The only trading post in the world, Arnus City can be said to be a place where caravans are constantly coming and going, and all kinds of trade are extremely prosperous.  In addition to the various modern earth-style shops built by the travelers, there are also many shops and markets built by indigenous merchants in various villages and towns outside the city wall.  There are also some indigenous shops that do not sell goods directly, but are service industries such as dance halls, brothels, and massage parlors for tourists from the earth. Finally, under the city walls outside each city gate, quite prosperous commercial streets appeared.  Due to the backwardness and low productivity of the fantasy world, some daily necessities that are common to modern earthlings, such as cheap color-printed textiles, colored glasses, etc., were originally luxuries that only the ruling group could enjoy here.  .  As a result, indigenous businessmen flocked to the earth's cheap ceramics, glass, plastics and metal products. As long as they were shipped out and resold, the prices would be astronomical. Although dumping like this lasted for a long time, profits would inevitably fall, but the alien market is still far from saturated.  Naturally, indigenous businessmen have little incentive to cut prices and promote sales.  On the other hand, for tourists from Earth, many common gadgets on the Falmat continent cannot be found elsewhere, so spending money to buy souvenirs can be said to be a waste of money to participate in exotic events.  Basically none of the earthlings in the world tour group are paupers, at least they are middle class.  Even some of them, who don¡¯t seem to have much wealth, receive large subsidies from their country¡¯s intelligence agencies. Their mission is to use legal opportunities as much as possible to search for people in other worlds.Collect information and samples, and all the expenses will be paid by big benefactors As a result, many indigenous businessmen in the tourist souvenir business have made a fortune in Arnus City very easily.  Some demihuman tramps who have nothing, just because they are from a rare race, such as giants, can actually live a good life just by taking photos with tourists.  Since it is so easy to make money by doing business in Arnus City, and the marketing thinking of the outside world is relatively backward, most of the city-wide price reduction promotions forced by Mayor Wang Meiling during her 50th birthday celebrations are unpopular.  The indigenous businessmen expressed their disbelief.  According to their thinking logic, since crowds of people are bound to gather during the celebrations, they have been very kind by not taking the opportunity to raise prices to rip off customers, so why do they have to lower prices?  However, for Mayor Wang Meiling, who only wants excitement, grandeur and grandeur, such a perfunctory attitude is intolerable!  She probably only has one chance to hold a grand birthday banquet in this life, so she is devoted to perfection and cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in her eyes.  "Those ignorant misers! Since I have ordered all stores in the city to offer 20% off, I must offer 20% off. This matter is not negotiable! Really, don't I just want to be lively! Why?  Why don't you let me spend this birthday happily so that everyone can get together and have a good time?" Mayor Wang Meiling waved her hands unhappily and said decisively, " Just go and tell them, who dares to let me go?  I'm unhappy on my birthday. Well, although I can't make him unhappy for the rest of his life, it's absolutely fine if I want to make him unhappy for a year" "Okay, I will keep your words exactly as they are.  Pass it on, I believe they will consider it carefully" "All in all, under the full supervision of Mayor Wang Meiling and the tacit approval of the relevant departments, as a commemoration of a middle-aged woman who once represented the party and the country in another world, a  The joyful celebration, full of noise and bustle, slowly kicked off on Arnus Hill.  As the news spread, travelers from different countries and races also gathered towards this city that rose instantly ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù  ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù ps: The finale is getting closer, and the next chapter is the appearance of the voluptuous wild female dark elf that readers have requested.  In addition, there are rumors that Master Huang Yi died of a heart attack after staying up late playing the "Fallout" game for ten hours straight?  I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true or not?
