The young man traveled to Kenya, Africa, and while enjoying the various local beauties, he also helped many local people along the way;
Once the guys returned to the local village, it coincided with a local radish harvest festival, and the locals were able to eat the radishes thanks to the credit of the guys 3 months ago.
At that time, when the young men passed by the local area, they saw that everyone did not have enough to eat, so they led everyone to open up the land and plant the land, and sent them seeds and taught them how to plant.
Now that the harvest has been achieved, when he learned that the boy was back, in gratitude, a special celebration was held to invite the boy to participate.
When he saw the piles of harvested turnips, he thought that no one would starve anymore, and the boy was also very excited in his heart;
And the locals sang and danced, and welcomed the arrival of the young man in the middle of the road, and the young man also fully felt the enthusiasm of the African people.
But what the young man never expected was that just as he passed by the crowd of welcome people in the middle of the road, everyone actually spat at him, making him confused.
I kindly helped them, how can they do this to themselves? The guy was so angry that he turned around and wanted to leave.
At this time, the accompanying interpreter pulled him aside, and after the interpreter's explanation, the young man understood the meaning of the local spitting on him, and immediately laughed happily, accepted this behavior, and stayed behind to dance with the locals to celebrate.
So why can a guy accept the behavior of others spitting at him?
This has to start from the customs of the locals, in fact, the boys meet the Maasai people living in Kenya, and when they meet, they will say hello by spitting on each other.
The Maasai custom of spitting is quite different from the meaning of other cultures, and in their view, it does not mean insult and contempt, but love and respect.
Before shaking hands with elders, they will also spit on their own hands as a sign of respect.
What's even more incomprehensible is that when a baby is born, adults not only spit on the baby, but also say bad things about the child.
Because the Maasai believe that saying bad things makes children grow up healthy.
I think that although the way of greeting people in various countries in the world is different, it is still difficult to accept that greeting each other by spitting at each other is still difficult to accept at a time when civilization is highly developed.
If you're this guy, can you accept this way of greeting?
