Mention the four words "sweet air", many people's first reaction is the delicate ghost in the Journey to the West - no, the female student Yang Shuping who looks like a delicate ghost.
She said this at the 2017 Maryland University Graduation Ceremony:
"Five years ago, when I got off the plane in China, I was ready to choose one of my five masks to wear, but when I first breathed american air, I took off the mask, and the air here was so fresh, too sweet, almost extravagant! The moment I walked out of the airport, I felt free. No more fog to blur my glasses, no more breathing, no more oppression."
So is American air sweet? There's a place that's sweet.
On January 15, 1919, a sugar can explosion occurred in Boston, USA, and due to the fusion of the temperature at that time, it changed from minus 17 degrees Celsius to 5 degrees Celsius. The syrup ferments under this temperature change, and the stored 7.5 million liters of molasses gush out. It moves very fast, reaching 60 kilometers per hour.
Because molasses is very sticky, it causes far more damage than flooding. Pedestrians on the road, unable to break free of the sticky molasses, quickly suffocated to death. Horse-drawn carriages, buildings, and even Boston's viaduct bridge were greatly damaged by molasses. Although the air at the time was "too sweet and almost extravagant," it cost Boston $100 million (equivalent to $10 billion today) in economic damage, with more than 150 injuries and 21 deaths.
Because the syrup seeped into the ground, the local area could still smell a hint of sweetness decades later. However, Yang is in Maryland, far from Massachusetts, where Boston is located, and should not smell sweet, right?
In fact, Yang Shuping's hometown is Kunming, and the air quality ranking is the third in the national key cities, but she said: "I grew up in a city in China, I must wear a mask when I go out, otherwise I will get sick." "This is obviously a blind talk, in order to please the Americans, there is no bottom line at all."
But the Americans were not moved. Many American entrepreneurs saw the video of her speech and thought that a person who did not even love her country could not love her job, so she became an unemployed vagrant in the United States.
Because there was no income, Yang Shuping finally decided to leave this country she "loved" and the sweet air, and find another way out.
Because he was already notorious in China, Yang Shuping did not dare to come back, but went to South Korea. It was hard to find a job there, and because of the epidemic, I lost it, so I had no choice but to secretly return to China.
However, Chinese companies have long blacklisted her, and she has only found a lonely job search everywhere, and now she has been at home for more than a year, and she can only walk her dog in the community every day to pass the time.
Yang told everyone with his own personal experience that those who arbitrarily slander the motherland will not get any benefits anywhere, after all, foreigners also have eyes.
