National pride is the quality that every Chinese should have! There is no doubt about that.
However, sometimes it's embarrassing to "show the wrong feelings"! The matter I want to talk about today may be worth thinking about......
With the development of China's economy, many Chinese elderly people have spare money and energy after retirement, they not only want to see more of the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, but also want to go abroad to see what the world looks like!
This time, they're in faraway Canada!
Suddenly, the aunts' eyes lit up, and they ran forward one after another, surrounding a Canadian policewoman with a loaded gun.
What attracted the aunts was the Oriental faces of the policewomen, and after asking if the other party was indeed Chinese, the aunts went completely crazy......
"Oops, great, this is the Chinese police! You are the pride of our Chinese"
The aunts were full of excitement, they gathered around the policewoman, and kept stretching out their thumbs to her to confess, as if they were standing in front of a Chinese policewoman......
Indeed, in the eyes of these Chinese aunts, this policewoman is obviously a Chinese face, of course she is a Chinese policeman!
It's a pity that the policewoman's next words made the scene a little embarrassing......
Obviously, when she heard the aunts praising her as a Chinese policeman, the policewoman smiled a little unnaturally, and then said:
"I'm Canadian, and it's my responsibility to maintain public safety, and it's not about national pride!"
Good guy, as soon as this sentence came out, it really made the atmosphere extremely weird.
However, several Chinese aunts did not seem to understand, and stood beside them a "pride of the Chinese".
They began to pay attention to the police equipment on the policewoman, and an aunt actually reached out to touch the policewoman's gun!
"Ouch, what is this? It's amazing," the aunts didn't realize how dangerous this action was......
The policewoman was still relatively restrained, and naturally took a small step back and told the aunts that this was a "stun gun".
Seeing this scene in the video, many netizens couldn't stand it: Aunts, don't make trouble when you go abroad!
The aunts think that the policewoman is Chinese, so they think that she is Chinese, and at the same time the pride of Chinese?
The policewoman obviously didn't agree, and responded awkwardly but politely: I'm Canadian!
In fact, such cases are not rare.
When some Chinese see Chinese, they wishfully believe that the other party is "their own people", which may be due to the emotional identification with Chinese compatriots and the extreme desire for national identity.
However, your agreement does not mean that the other party agrees, and sometimes it will cause the other party to be disgusted......
Born and raised abroad, Chinese Americans are influenced and educated by the local culture, and although they still have yellow skin and black eyes, they are no different from foreigners in their bones.
The aunts are as excited as seeing the new continent, praising others as the pride of the Chinese, this matter, a little ignorant and wrong.
The Canadian policewoman also made it very clear -
I am Canadian, and my job is to protect the stability of Canada's society and the safety of its people......
Don't you understand such an expression? The aunts really thoroughly implemented the famous saying - as long as they are not embarrassed, whoever wants to be embarrassed is embarrassed!
At the same time, netizens also pointed out that it is really a very dangerous move for aunts to touch the guns of foreign policemen.
Maybe these bad habits have been formed in long-term life, and in such a stable social environment as China, when the Chinese police treat the people kindly, the aunts are not afraid of anything......
You can't do that abroad, especially in a beautiful country!
From the somewhat embarrassed smile of the Chinese policewoman, we can already feel the other party's emotional changes.
The aunts are enthusiastic and proud of being Chinese, which is understandable!
However, it is important not to force the labeling of someone abroad, especially a police officer......
She is not a Chinese policeman, let alone the pride of Chinese, she is a Canadian, respect each other's cultural background, in order to better communicate harmoniously!
