Martin's speech in the drama was a success.

Especially the last paragraph impressed everyone.

For a long time, Martin's words,"The art of loving is the art of making love" have been circulating among Chinese opera students and teachers.

This sentence was passed around and eventually evolved into a shorter sentence——""Love is made" is regarded as a guideline by many people.

These are all things for later, let's not mention them for now.

After the speech that day,"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" began to play in the college auditorium, and the students stayed Watch.

The school leader took Martin to a restaurant near the school.

Zeng Ni and Hu Jing were also left as companions.

Don’t get it wrong, having a woman at the dinner can make the atmosphere more relaxed, nothing else Meaning.

This is the same at home and abroad - when foreigners gather, they usually find a modeling agency and hire a bunch of models to add to the fun.

Because of the memory of Chinese Martin, when attending such a Chinese dinner, Martin did not show any concern at all. Hu Jing was bold and joked with Martin:"Martin, why don't you become a Chinese citizen? I think you understand our Chinese people so well, it would be a pity not to be a Chinese." Martin shook his finger,"No, no, no, you are wrong. It is precisely because I am proficient in Chinese culture that I have to stay in the United States, so that I can help you spread Chinese culture!""

"Hahaha! Hu Jing was amused,"This is the first time I heard someone say that they are proficient in something. You are really not humble.""

"Well, after coming to China, I heard many people say that about me! But why should I pretend to be modest about a fact?"

"But modesty is our traditional Chinese virtue. Martin, if you retort like this, doesn't it contradict what you said before about being proficient in Chinese culture?"Zeng Ni also joined the conversation, looking at Martin with bright eyes.

"Humility is a virtue, but hypocrisy is not"

"Oh, how should we define modesty and hypocrisy? Zeng Ni asked with interest

"Take what happened just now as an example. If I forcibly belittle myself and say something against my will in order to make myself appear humble, that would be hypocrisy. In fact, humility is a very subjective thing that depends on self-perception, not on the feelings of the listener. If you deliberately belittle yourself in order to make others feel comfortable, can it still be called modesty?"

"I think the modesty that the ancient Chinese thought of is just a kind of dissatisfaction with oneself, and it is a manifestation of enterprising spirit. For example, if I haven't done this well yet, I can still do better. This is humility. Humility is not to satisfy others, but to give yourself more motivation to make progress!"

"As the saying goes, he does his duty without any hesitation. This is enterprising spirit. Can you say that he is not humble? No way!"

"The old man is still ambitious, but his ambition is to reach a thousand miles; the martyr is still ambitious in his old age. Can you say he is immodest?"

"There will be times when the wind blows and the waves break, and the clouds and sails are hung directly to help the sea. Can you say he is immodest?"

"I am born with talent that will be useful, and I will come back after all my money has been spent. Can you say he is immodest?"

"There are scholars who talk and laugh, but there are no white people in the world. Can you say he is immodest?"

"You should be a hero in life, and a hero in death. Can you say he is immodest?"

"The ancient people of China were confident, and their modesty was not self-denial, but self-motivation!"

"On the contrary, in modern society where we should be more confident, I found that you Chinese people have gone too far. Everything is not good at home, and it has even risen to the national level. Foreign companies are very good, and foreign companies are all great, but the fact is Is this really the case? Not necessarily!"

The period from 2000 to 2008 was the period when China's worship of foreigners and foreigners was most popular.

When Martin expressed this different interpretation of Chinese culture from the general direction from a foreigner's perspective, not only Zeng Ni Hu Jing and Hu Jing were stunned by what they heard. Even the leaders of the college found it deafening, and some of them felt a little ashamed.

When the banquet ended, the dean of the Chinese Theater Academy asked a professor aside:"Old Liu, you have the best memory. Just now Did you take note of what Martin said?"

A middle-aged man tapped his temple with his finger and said with a smile:"Every word is in my mind.

Another professor next to him joked:"Lao Liu, you really listened to what that little foreigner said and applied what you learned. Didn't you feel very confident in your answer just now?""

Old Liu said:"They are right. There is something wrong with the current domestic atmosphere. The moon in foreign countries is rounder and the air in foreign countries is sweeter. This should be corrected."

"Um!"The dean also nodded,"If something is correct, correct it, if not, encourage it. This is also a sign of self-confidence!"

"Dean, what do you mean?"Lao Liu asked

"I want to send Martin’s words to the media so that the public can listen to how foreigners perceive our Chinese culture. They belittle themselves day by day, denying this and that, and I haven’t seen them come up with anything constructive. Here’s a suggestion, you really don’t deserve to be a human being!"

"Okay, it’s time to kill this unhealthy trend!!!"

…………

The next day, Martin got up early to exercise and was ready to go out for breakfast afterward.

As soon as he opened the door of the courtyard, he saw Wang Shuo walking over in a hurry, holding a stack of newspapers in his hand.

After seeing Martin, his eyes lit up and he clasped his fists and said,"Martin, good buddy, you really understand Chinese culture. What you said is very good!"

Martin was confused,"What's going on, Shuozi? What did I say?"

"You don’t know yet? Wang Shuo was stunned for a moment, then handed the newspaper in his hand to Martin's arms,"Read it for yourself, what you said has been published in the newspaper." Martin took the newspaper and didn't rush to open it. Instead, he put his arm around Wang Shuo's shoulders and said,"Don't worry, let's find a place to have breakfast first and read while eating.""

…………(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

At Wangji Soybean Milk Shop, Martin and Wang Shuo sit face to face on a small mat. On the small table 037 in the middle are soybean milk, fried dough sticks, scallion pancakes, steamed buns, etc. Eat.

There were some old men sitting around, occasionally looking at Martin and Wang Shuo, as if they were wondering about this Chinese-foreign combination, but no one bothered them.

Mr. Kyoto is still very angry. Well, I guess they can’t recognize who Martin is!

Martin took a sip of soy milk and held a fried dough stick in his mouth, which made Wang Shuo look funny.

I thought to myself: We should really let the big and small celebrities in China take a look at how down-to-earth the international superstars are. Don’t be just a little famous and act like they are worth 25,800,000 yuan!

The headline on the front page of the newspaper is an article about Martin, and the title is"International Superstar - Martin on Chinese Cultural Confidence!"

When I look at the newspaper again - oh, China Youth Daily!

Martin read it quickly, and it turned out to be exactly what he said at the dinner table yesterday.

Then he nodded and said:"I have a good memory, every word is correct!"

"Is that really what you said?"Wang Shuo was curious.

"It's just me, just a little bit ignorant."Martin said.

Wang Shuo said:"This is not superficial.

Then he smiled and said,"Are you being hypocritical or being humble?" Martin smiled and said:"I just think there is room for improvement in my understanding of Chinese culture. This is humility. Anyway, I think so.""

Wang Shuo gave a thumbs up.
