Yu Qiuyu went to India for an inspection, and he was received by India's former Minister of Culture, and after seeing Yu Qiuyu, the minister said: "You China is developing rapidly, I believe that in a few decades, you will catch up with India." ”
Yu Qiuyu, a famous Chinese writer and cultural scholar, has become a leader in Chinese culture with his unique cultural perspective and in-depth thinking. His book "Cultural Hardship Journey" swept the whole of China, attracting widespread attention and heated discussion. During his cultural exploration journey, he visited many countries, trying to draw inspiration from them, deepen himself, and interpret the culture of China and the world from a more comprehensive and in-depth perspective.
Against this backdrop, Yu Qiuyu set foot on Indian soil. India, a country with a long history and rich culture, has had close cultural exchanges with China since ancient times. However, in the process of modernization, China and India have embarked on completely different development paths. With its unique development model, China has made remarkable achievements in economy, science and technology and culture. India, although it has developed in some aspects, still has a clear gap compared to China.
When Yu Qiuyu arrived in India, he was received by India's former culture minister. Although the minister held a high position, his dress appeared very casual, which did not match his status. He welcomed Yu Qiuyu's arrival and expressed admiration for China's development.
However, when he said the words "your China is developing rapidly, I believe that in a few decades, it will catch up with India", Yu Qiuyu's heart suddenly felt a little uneasy. He could not understand why India had such confidence that China would catch up with India, which was completely inconsistent with his perception of the power of the two countries.
Led by India's former culture minister, Yu Qiuyu embarked on his journey to India. He was taken to the Ganges River and witnessed the "Ganges Morning Bath" there. But it was not the beauty and holiness he imagined, but dirt and chaos. The water of the Ganges is polluted, the banks are full of garbage, and people bathe in such water as if they are completely unconcerned about the pollution of the water and their own health.
Yu Qiuyu was shocked by such a scene. He began to think about why India had such a culture, why people lived in such an environment without changing it. He also began to think about why India's former culture minister thought China was going to catch up with India, and what criteria and perspectives they used to evaluate the culture and development of the two countries.
After returning to China, Yu Qiuyu wrote an article about what he saw and heard in India and shared it with his countrymen. With his keen observation and deep thinking, he revealed another side of Indian culture. He also began to reflect on the differences between Chinese and Indian cultures, and how China should view and learn from India's experience.
He recognized that each country and nation has its own unique culture and path of development. China's development cannot simply be measured by material and economic standards, let alone blindly imitate and pursue Western models. China needs to find its own cultural foundation, tap its own cultural resources, and build its own cultural self-confidence.
Yu Qiuyu's article has attracted widespread attention and heated discussion. People began to reflect on the differences between the culture and development of China and India, and what kind of development path China should take. This has also triggered an in-depth discussion of culture, development and self-perception in Chinese society.
Although this trip to India shocked and uneasy Yu Qiuyu, it also made him more deeply aware of the value and significance of Chinese culture. He began to embark more firmly on the road of cultural exploration and self-improvement, hoping to contribute his own strength to the rejuvenation and development of Chinese culture through his own efforts.
