Preface
I have a good high school friend whose mother is Korean, and she successfully went to South Korea to study in college with her language advantage, and often complains to me that she can't eat enough there.
Now my friend has already graduated and returned to work in Chengdu, Sichuan, and a while ago suddenly told me that a college friend is planning to come to China to play.
His college friend is a Korean beauty, and I really look good when I look at the photos, but the beauty is a little familiar.
At that time, my friend seemed to be looking forward to it, and made a whole tour plan, eating, drinking and having fun, who knew that the Korean beauty came only a few days, and he complained to me that he couldn't stand it.
I couldn't help but wonder, what was going on in the middle of this, and why did my friend's interest plummet?
Whatever you eat, you try to "go back to the source"
Chinese people have always paid attention to food, especially for friends, so his plan is mainly listed where to go and what to eat.
Of course, the main purpose of making this list of delicacies is to give the Korean beauty a little shock of Chinese food, so that she knows that there are far more delicious things in this world than all kinds of kimchi.
From this arrangement, it can be seen that my friend did suffer a lot when he studied abroad.
However, this food journey did not go well, and the conflict between the friend and the beautiful woman also started from this place.
In order to give the beauty a step-by-step experience, her friend did not take her to eat such heavy Sichuan food as soon as possible, but took her to eat Haidilao first.
After all, Haidilao's pot is not soaked in spicy, and it is relatively young, and the service is also very thoughtful.
When the beauty arrived at Haidilao, her eyes lit up when she passed by the small vegetable area: "Wow, I didn't expect that such an inland city in China would also like to eat our Korean kimchi!"
My friend immediately retorted that it was our Sichuan kimchi, not Korean spicy cabbage!
The beautiful woman didn't realize the dissatisfaction in her friend's words for a while, and said indifferently: "Oh, Sichuan kimchi, that should have been learned from us Korean, right? After all, we have been making this dish since ancient times." ”
My friend was completely angry at this time, but he still waited patiently until he sat down before he began to give her a burst of popular science.
Kimchi was not originally called kimchi, and was replaced by "菹" in ancient documents, and it appeared in China as early as more than 3,000 years ago.
It was not until the Goryeo period that there were records of the "sang" in Korea, and it is assumed that it was at that time that this method of making food was officially introduced to Korea.
At present, the popular practice of Korean kimchi has to be slowly formed after the introduction of Chinese cabbage and chili peppers from Europe during the Ming Dynasty, and the method is relatively simple, unlike everything in China that can be made into kimchi.
The Korean beauty wanted to argue at first, but the amount of knowledge was really not as good as my friend's, so she could only lose, and finally made up for it and said that she would talk about this topic after she went back to check the information.
Except for kimchi, Korean beauties simply want to pull everything to their own country.
I almost wanted to say a few words about chopsticks, but after observing my friend's face, I couldn't help it, maybe she herself knew that "chopsticks originated in Korea" This statement is a bit outrageous.
When shopping in Chengdu, it is inevitable to see a lot of young ladies wearing beautiful Hanfu, and Korean beauties began to get excited when they saw the Hanfu of the Tang Dynasty, saying that it was very similar to Hanbok.
My friend smiled and said yes, after all, during the Tang Dynasty, all countries came to the dynasty, and the culture influenced many countries at that time, including Goryeo, a small affiliated country.
When the beauty heard this, she didn't say anything more, and went shopping honestly.
A Korean beauty who is born and dies
In fact, my friend's evaluation of those Korean beauties has never been very high, he said that those people are always a little bit of a high-eyed and low-minded, and quite anxious.
It's not for the anxiety of appearance, or for the anxiety of body, or for the anxiety of grades and the future.
This anxiety directly affects the social aura around them, and friends say that every time I talk to them, I feel an inexplicable pressure.
I still think it's too exaggerated for friends, after all, there is so much pressure in society now, and it's normal for everyone to be a little anxious, and the little girls in our country will also be anxious.
Later, I saw the travel photos taken by my friend to know what he meant, in the photo, the Korean beauty is wearing very delicate makeup, every detail of the dress on her body is quite perfect, and I can give full marks in appearance.
But her posture for taking pictures is quite tight, and there is a feeling of "the old lady is so beautiful".
It's obviously a scenic spot, but in the photo, she is occupying the main subject, with a smile on her face, but there is a very deliberate feeling.
Friends said that this beauty came back at night while working in China to study Xi and take the public entrance examination, and studied together according to the life and rest of those Xi bloggers on the Internet.
He said that it is simply not acceptable to people, some people get up at 3 o'clock in the morning to put on makeup and start to learn Xi, maintain their energy all rely on ice American, not only to learn Xi during the day, but also to exercise and skin care, and go to bed late every day.
It's no wonder that many people say that Koreans have evolved to sleep and will not die suddenly if they sleep for so much time every day.
By the way, this Korean beauty was still strange when she was shopping in Chengdu, and asked why it was rare to see people drinking ice American on the street.
The friend replied to her with a blank face: "Then you should go to Shanghai to have a look." ”
Although Chengdu is also a relatively modern big city, it is obviously not as fast as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and it is a place with a large number of young people.
The young man on the street was far more relaxed than the Korean beauty, and the beauty couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
In her impression, China is also a country that attaches great importance to academic qualifications and respects rules and regulations like South Korea, but the young people in Chengdu do not feel so serious at all.
My friend explained that those were feudal ideas, and specifically pointed out that their brainless predecessor culture in Korea would not work with us, and everyone would only convince those who had real talent and learning.
China does have rules, but it is more out of respect and politeness, let's call this "etiquette", which is much more atmospheric than South Korea's.
Depressed by the truth of history
In fact, it's not that his friend is too up-to-date, he was really fed up with that environment when he was studying in South Korea.
Due to internet restrictions, few people in China will see authentic Koreans leaving comments on the Internet.
In those international forums, Koreans often take some Chinese culture for themselves, and in addition to the well-known kimchi, they also think that some hanfu and tea culture originated in China.
My friend also argued with those Koreans at that time, but they couldn't shake their inner thoughts.
This Korean beauty is actually one of the more open-minded among them, otherwise she wouldn't have been in touch with my friend to this day.
But even so, she still has a lot of misconceptions, and she still has many misconceptions that the origin of many cultures came from Korea.
It wasn't until they really came to Chinese mainland this time, came to Chengdu, and saw those historic buildings, that the beauties really realized how ridiculous some of their domestic remarks were.
Especially Sichuan is one of the origins of tea culture, Chengdu tea house is famous in the domestic tea industry, friends took her to know how barren Korean tea culture is unscrupulous.
It also hit her quite hard, so the last few days of the trip were obviously much more depressed than when she first arrived.
Before leaving, the Korean beauty said to my friend with some envy: "Although there were many misunderstandings before, I would still like to settle in China if I can." ”
Friends asked her why she had this idea.
She said that because China is really the origin of culture, if she was born in China, she must be very confident and calm.
epilogue
I thought that the comments on the Internet about Koreans were stereotypes, but I didn't think that there were really many people in their country who thought like this.
The area is not big, but the thinking is quite big, which is also related to the ideas they have been instilled since childhood.
But then again, the ordinary people in their country are quite pitiful, and the resources are so small that they may not have a good end.
It's no wonder that this Korean beauty has the idea of settling in China, and when she can completely change some of her concepts, she should be able to stay smoothly.
