"I really didn't think that China was such a country, it's surprising, and it makes me uncomfortable, it's really unbearable!"
The Indian guy's slightly aggrieved voice adds a lot of emotion to his video.
This guy is spitting out his bitterness in his video, what happened?
The Indian guy vomited bitterness
The guy's name is Parker, he is a vlogger, 27 years old, from Mumbai, India, which is the best big city in the eyes of Indians.
Parker, who is from this city, considers himself a city person, a college graduate, and a high-caste background, and is somewhat self-assured.
Yet during a trip to China in September, he felt like a joke.
Because he was in China, he saw everything he couldn't have imagined, whether it was rural or urban China, and he felt the "absurdity" of India.
In his video, he said: "I only stayed in China for 4 days and I couldn't stand it, the Chinese are really outrageous. ”
"I don't understand why there are so many college students in rural China, and many of them are quite wealthy, with good houses and cars. ”
"Aren't Chinese universities so cheap? But that doesn't make sense, because they don't feel inferior to me at all. ”
"China really makes me uncomfortable, even the rural areas of China are more developed than many cities in India, and it is unbearable for me. ”
Parker vented his bitterness in his video, saying that rural people in China are not like countrymen at all, they have big houses to live in, the houses are well decorated, and there are big color TVs, big refrigerators, air conditioners and washing machines.
Parker also said that even in India's developed rural areas, there are always poor people, but in China, almost everyone lives in a good house......
Not only that, the food of rural Chinese people is not bad, they are not short of meat to eat, and all kinds of vegetables are also eaten casually.
Before going to China, Parker also threatened to let everyone see the true face of China - poor, backward, and inferior to India.
As a result, after seeing the true face of China, Parker's heart was somewhat broken, and it was okay if a third-tier county in China looked better than some cities in India.
Even rural China could not give Parker any sense of superiority, and he also met a rural college student who claimed that his family was relatively poor and could speak English very fluently.
This makes Parker, who has always been quite proud of himself, very unbearable, he feels that he is relatively good, and after graduating from college, he made videos and easily had more than 500,000 fans.
However, a college student in rural China can not only speak English, but also speak Japanese, and his language talent is amazing, and not only that, I heard that he plans to study in Europe next year.
A rural person was able to go to college and study abroad, which really hit Parker, but it wasn't enough, this college student also made videos and posted them on the Internet, and one of the platforms has more than 600,000 fans!
He doesn't shoot vlogs like him, it looks like it should be a secondary creation, and Parker is very unconvinced that he can still have so many fans.
This also devastated Parker, and he couldn't believe that a high caste from an Indian city would lose to a rural Chinese!
Parker, who hurried back to India after just 4 days in China, fell into a strange state, and he himself couldn't tell how strange it was, and even the video he posted made some fans unable to understand.
His video seems to belittle China, but India is not as good as such China, and it feels like a dwarf looking up at a giant, and the most outrageous thing is that the dwarf doesn't even get the slightest attention from the giant.
Parker said in the video: "China is a really strange country, the Chinese are also outrageous, they are not inferior or arrogant when facing me, they are very peaceful towards me." ”
"Many of my friends look down on Chinese, but Chinese don't seem to look down on Indians, doesn't that mean that Chinese think Indians are similar to themselves?"
"During the four days in China, I felt that my world was always refreshing, and I had a different experience every day, but the inferiority complex that was inferior to China everywhere made me feel ashamed. ”
In Parker's words, he always reveals his disbelief in reality, although he went to China for a trip, but only stayed for 4 days, but posted more than 20 videos about it.
The content of his videos is somewhat similar, after all, he has not seen much about China.
But he always complains about the outrageous Chinese, and occasionally brags about being able to live a better life in India with less cost of living.
But overall, Parker is still complaining, re-examining himself, as if he wants to re-understand his country and China.
Indian netizens commented polarizing
After posting more than 20 China-related videos in a row, Parker's followers have also increased a lot, but because many of his content is relatively negative to Indians, the comment section can be described as a mess.
Indian netizens put it this way: "Did the blogger seriously think about what to say before posting the video? What do you want to do when you keep praising China and belittling India?"
"Can bloggers stop lying all the time? You don't shoot real at all, shoot some real content!"
"I don't understand why bloggers say they feel inferior, I think your mental state is not very healthy, it is better to see a doctor. ”
"To be honest, I think bloggers really don't seem to be normal, what you see in China is not real at all, you just happened to go to China's more developed rural areas, don't think that all Chinese rural areas are like this. ”
"Bloggers keep talking about how good China is, and they also say that they have low self-esteem, and I think you should go to the mountains of China to see how one-sided what you see. ”
"You happen to meet a rural college student with a good family environment, and you think that China is better than India in many aspects, which is really unnecessary, which is very unrealistic, as far as I know, many Chinese still have difficulty even going to school." ”
"I've seen some videos of the poor places in China being really bad, why don't bloggers go to those places to see? ”
Some Indian netizens said: "I think bloggers were too self-righteous before, so there will be such a big psychological gap, in fact, China has really developed very well in recent years, it can only be said that bloggers were too low in vision before." ”
"China does have many good aspects that India can Xi, but I don't think that as an Indian should be inferior to Chinese years ago, I think India also has many aspects that China can't compare, such as our medicine." ”
"We shouldn't just think that China is better than India in some aspects, we ourselves are better than China in many aspects, we should learn Xi from their strengths, and that will make us stronger." ”
"I think a lot of Indian media is very strange now, always belittling China, and as a result, a lot of people are like bloggers, and China doesn't know the actual situation in China at all. ”
"There is no need for the blogger to feel that he is inferior to the rural Chinese college student you met, he is only a special case in the countryside, I believe that not every Chinese college student has the opportunity to study in Europe, I can only say that he is lucky. ”
"Almost every video of the blogger talks about how China is more developed than India, but it is very unfair to not mention all the aspects in which India is more developed than China. ”
"I'm very much in favor of bloggers being able to endorse China, but I strongly disagree with bloggers belittling India in such a way, it's really unnecessary. ”
"Bloggers should not think too much, be more humble, so that you will not feel inferior, and you will not feel outrageous Chinese." ”
Parker occasionally replies to comments from netizens, after all, the necessary interaction can increase the stickiness of fans and make his videos more enjoyable.
Under one of the videos, Parker replied to a netizen who told him not to feel inferior, saying: "It's not that I feel inferior to myself, it's just that the impact is too big, can you understand me?"
"I thought that India was far more developed than China, but when I got to China, I realized that this was not the case at all, which made me feel that my past perception was really ridiculous. ”
"I used to be proud of myself and my country, but I suddenly realized that many Indian media portrayals of China were completely false, which gave me a great sense of illusion. ”
In one of the videos, Parker also focused on issues related to what he believed was due to fraud in the Indian media, which led him to question it.
Because for a long time, he watched the information conveyed by various Indian media that China was inferior to India, and he firmly believed that this was the truth, but the reality told him: "You have been deceived, the reality is not like this!"
This kind of fragmentation made Parker feel satisfied to accept it, but he couldn't deny it, and at the same time, he felt very lost, not knowing who he should trust in the future.
Every time he looks at the comments and replies of netizens after posting a video, he looks quite weak.
Although Parker has posted more than 20 China-related videos, and he has also talked about his psychological journey in one video after another, by the last video, he has clearly adjusted.
In the last video, he mentioned: "I need to go to China again, this time I will not run away, I will look at the real China more objectively." ”
"At the same time, I also understand that although India is indeed inferior to China today, we are also a very good country, and we will develop better and better. ”
"I'm still proud to be an Indian, I still think India is a good country, but I also hope that our Indian media will be more honest in the future. ”
