introduction
With the development of the economy, travel has gradually become a daily consumption, and people who have the conditions to travel abroad prefer to experience exotic places than domestic travel, but surprisingly, the main force of travel today is not young people.
Compared with young people with life pressure, older people who have retired to achieve basic "financial freedom" account for a greater proportion of foreign travel.
The elderly who have basically completed their "mission" in life are left to enjoy life after retirement, and according to statistics, the elderly are more inclined to "group up" than to partner with friends.
A group of dozens of people fight for a short trip of about a week, which can not only feel foreign culture, but also not be too lonely, and unexpectedly, the aunts who like to travel abroad have won the title of "dama" abroad.
This is not a friendly word, more pejorative, and there are often some rumors of bad behavior of aunts from abroad, and some people even say to aunts "This is not China, no one will get used to you!" "Such words.
This makes people wonder, what did these aunts do? Can it be unbearable for foreigners? Is there any difference between Aunt abroad and at home?
Auntie is weird
Aunt was originally a normal title, but in recent years it has gradually developed towards a derogatory meaning, and many people will smile bitterly and shake their heads when they mention Aunt.
Not to mention foreign countries, just the domestic news has a lot of negative information about aunts, among which the most influential and most disgusted is the "square dance incident".
After retirement, the elderly have nowhere to vent their energy, compared with fitness and tai chi with a high threshold, it is obvious that square dances that can twist and dance anytime and anywhere are more likely to be favored by aunts.
Especially in the vicinity of some communities, these aunts finally ushered in the night after a busy day, and three or three began to gather at the square dance assembly point, many dozens or hundreds of people, a few people carrying oversized stereos to start dancing.
They have completed their day's tasks, which is their rare leisure time, which is not a problem, but it is important to understand that the residents of the community are not only elderly.
Most of the young people at seven or eight o'clock had just had dinner, and they needed quiet, solitary time after a busy day at work, but they heard the DJ square dance music played by the aunts.
This kind of noise pollution is very unbearable, especially in some residential areas of the room is not very soundproof, for a long time naturally caused a lot of contradictions, quarrels and scolding are often occurring.
They not only affect the residents of the community, many places do not have a dancing venue that can make these aunts love, so the vicinity of the basketball court has become their favorite place, enough space, few people, etc. are the reasons for their favorite.
Most of the people who play basketball are bloody young men, and they are naturally unconvinced when they see them occupying the venue like this, so there are also a lot of disputes caused by this matter.
Coupled with some violent group behaviors that many people cannot tolerate, how to get along harmoniously with the aunts has become a very important thing.
Since we advocate the good character of "respecting the old and loving the young", we and our aunts can maintain a delicate balance, but those foreigners abroad do not understand how to respect the old and love the young.
Therefore, aunts have caused a lot of conflicts with others abroad, but aunts generally do not understand foreign languages, how did their conflicts occur?
World tour
At the beginning, we mentioned that many older people choose to travel internationally, and they prefer to be in groups, which leads to groups every time they appear, and the only good thing is that they are not going to square dancing during the trip.
And a Thai cafeteria incident made the aunts stand on the cusp of the storm in an instant, and it happened in a cafeteria in Thailand.
According to the video that came out at the time, after the restaurant brought a Roche shrimp to the food area, the aunts immediately rushed forward to grab it.
To know that this is a cafeteria, you can eat casually, is this behavior somewhat indecent or "shameful"? When the story came back to China, many people attacked it.
After all, this kind of shameful thing really ruins our Chinese image, and the god operation of the aunts does not stop there.
A video uploaded abroad has attracted a lot of attention, the photographer said that the tourist said Chinese, and took the child's aunt, but she actually buried the child's diaper in the beach, and let the child defecate in the beach.
Such incomprehensible behavior in public is why many foreign media have a bad impression of Chinese aunt.
The most violent and influential was an incident at the Swiss zoo, which was only learned about by people in China through news published in Switzerland.
In the videos and photos taken by the photographer, we can see that the zoo prohibits feeding animals, and Aunt pays attention to feeding the surrounding swans as if she didn't see it.
If that's all, there is another tourist who even grabs his neck after his belongings are taken away by the swan.
This kind of harm to animals has been condemned by many people, and tourists around are watching the farce, while Swiss state media even criticized "Chinese tourists".
After the news reached China, a large number of netizens criticized it, and some radical netizens even said: "These people are losing our Chinese face".
In the "glass beach" of the Russian region, this place has a very large number of beer bottles, which are broken because no one cleans up, and gradually turn into "glass pebbles" under the washing of the sea for a long time.
This transparent "pebble" looks very beautiful under the sun, but such a beautiful place is eyed by Chinese aunts.
Some aunts walk together to the glass beach while traveling, but after seeing these "pebbles", they have other thoughts, and they even take bags to pack these glasses for themselves.
Things like this have happened too many times, in Vancouver's Chinatown, a group of grandpas and aunts playing tai chi actually hit the square, you must know that there are a large number of tourists in the square.
Playing Tai Chi here will undoubtedly affect the normal operation of the mall, for the staff's stopping, the aunt ignored it, the waiter saw that the people gathered more and more, and said anxiously: "This is not China!" No one will get used to you! "Such words.
After this incident came out, many people were ashamed of these aunts, walking abroad represents the quality of the motherland, such an act of ignoring nothing will really bring great trouble, and even make people in other countries malicious.
This makes people wonder: Do aunts really care when they go abroad? Is there a good side to these scandals?
People are different
Of course, there will be good people and evil people in every group, of course, what these aunts have done cannot be said to be evil people, but just caused a bad impact.
Once a Chinese aunt did a heartwarming thing on the subway, and when a passenger on the subway suddenly changed, it was an aunt from China who helped her.
Meaning: When I accidentally fainted on the subway, a Chinese aunt who didn't understand English saved me.
After netizens told this matter through the Internet, they were praised by many people, which shows that aunts are naturally not all "not easy to mess with", and many aunts are very willing to help people who need help around them.
In 2013, the Chinese aunts could be said to have saved the mainland's gold industry.
In April 2013, the mainland gold price began to plummet, and the originator behind it was a large number of traders on Wall Street in the United States and speculators from all over the world.
The event was led by the Federal Reserve, and many financial giants on Wall Street carried out specific actions, and the international gold price began to fall sharply at the beginning of the event, ending the 13-year bull market that began in 2001.
In front of the market, any move by anyone is weak, and the mainland even fell by 20% at one point, and the price of millipede gold was only 252 yuan / gram.
At that time, everyone in the world was vigorously selling their gold, feeling that the price of gold had reached a peak, but the Chinese aunts did the opposite.
Unlike others who tried to sell, they began to buy large quantities of physical gold or gold products, and these people were "Chinese aunts".
With the efforts of these aunts, the supply and demand of gold began to stabilize, and the price of gold in the mainland began to stabilize, so the United States' means of shorting Chinese gold did not work, and it was these "Chinese aunts" who blocked all this.
Unlike foreign countries, most people abroad buy gold to "preserve value" or obtain income, but unlike them, the mainland has had this "troubled gold" saying since ancient times.
In ancient times, gold and silver were originally circulating currencies, and the idea of loving gold was also handed down, and in recent years, the economic development of the mainland has gradually been made into a variety of jewelry.
In people's thinking, gold products are more precious than other products, and aunts do not buy these gold to "dig the bottom" or wait for the increase in value, but they really like it, and even if they don't wear it, they can pass it on to their children.
In this way, what a lovely group of people these aunts are, even if there are some aunts who we can't understand, we shouldn't deny them the whole group.
introduction
Aunts don't seem to us to be a pejorative term, they have put in a lot of effort to maintain their families when they were young, and now they are old enough to have fun.
Although sometimes what is done is really wrong, we should be considerate of them instead of accusing them outright, they have their own way of life, they have their own worldview.
Due to the rapid development of society in recent decades, aunts have also exhausted their youth, and when they are old, they cannot integrate well into this society, and we should be considerate of them instead of insulting and accusing.
