In snow-white Harbin, a small figure wearing a heavy long down jacket caught the attention of passers-by. He wears a hat, an ear bag, and a scarf around his neck, like a disoriented little potato, and resolutely refuses to ask people for directions. This "little potato" is the southern baby who is hotly discussed on the Internet, and the careful Northeast veterans are anxious when they see this scene.
"Little Potatoes in the South" is an Internet meme, representing a funny image of southerners when they encounter snow in the north. Winters in the Northeast are cold and long, but for southerners, they are full of novelties and challenges. They may be afraid of the cold, or they may be inexperienced in snowwalking, but in the face of difficulties, they choose to solve them silently.
This meme comes from a funny video, which is not long, but it shows the fun of the cultural differences between the north and the south. In the video, the southern baby slipped and got lost in the snow in the north, but never asked for help. Northeast people see in their eyes and are anxious in their hearts, they are Xi to the way of helping each other, and when they see such a scene, their hearts can't help but feel a touch of love.
The little potatoes in the video are actually a portrayal of southerners who are independent and unwilling to trouble others. In the South, distance between people seems to be more estranged, and it is a common social rule not to trouble others easily. In the face of an unfamiliar environment, they prefer to explore on their own, even if they get lost, they have to try to find a way out on their own.
This pattern of behavior is indeed worthy of recognition in terms of safety considerations. Strange cities, unknown people, not casually communicating with people is a kind of self-protection. But in a society with strong human feelings, such behavior can sometimes be misunderstood. Northeasterners are warm and bold, Xi to speak loudly and go straight, in contrast to some cultural Xi in the South.
When the Northeast veterans saw such small potatoes in the south, they actually desperately wanted to help. They hope to use their enthusiasm to resolve the restraint of southern babies and warm every visitor with practical actions. To them, southerners are lovely guests, younger siblings who need to be taken care of.
Therefore, a number of recommendations were also made. In the face of such a small southern potato, take the initiative to help while paying attention to your own speed and volume. Ask in a gentle way and show the way with a careful attitude. Such details can sometimes move people's hearts more than direct help.
And for the "little potatoes of the south", they also need to be brave and learn to ask for help when needed. Whether in the South or the Northeast, the best communication between people often happens when you and I face difficulties together.
In this winter of Harbin, the story of small potatoes in the south and old iron in the northeast has become a unique landscape. Under the spread of the Internet, it has become a cultural exchange and a collision of hearts. When the delicacy of the south meets the boldness of the north, the warm stories interwoven by different cultures can always warm everyone's heart.
