On May 6, the eldest sister of the Northeast went to HSBC Bank in Hong Kong to handle business, but the eldest sister communicated with the bank teller in Mandarin but was discriminated against.
The event passed
On May 61, the eldest sister went to HSBC in Hong Kong to handle business, but she didn't expect to be discriminated against by the bank teller when she asked about the business, because the eldest sister spoke Mandarin instead of English and Cantonese, and the eldest sister was not used to him, and replied domineeringly to the bank teller who discriminated against Mandarin, "What's wrong with I just speaking Mandarin?" Just because I speak Mandarin excludes me? ”。
The eldest sister is a hardcore customer, and she is not used to this teller, she directly opened her mouth to reply, and also said "I want to complain to you, how can there be such a thing, I will not do it here, I have opened an account here for more than ten years, the first time I encountered this kind of thing", to the northeast eldest sister angry, Mandarin is the Chinese language of the mainland, I don't understand why we should discriminate against the Chinese language of the mainland!
HSBC Hong Kong responded
After the incident was exposed, the customer service of HSBC in Hong Kong responded to the incident, and the customer service said, "It is our consistent principle to maintain a friendly attitude towards customers, and our employees will conduct staff training when they first join the company.
HSBC's customer service said that this incident was an accident, it was the behavior of individual employees, and it had nothing to do with HSBC, HSBC's customer service also mentioned that employees will receive training before they join the company, perhaps because of the employee's personal discrimination against Mandarin, and it is also very likely to be affected by the bank's business customers, as for the reason for the discrimination is difficult to say!
With the continuous development of the times, more and more mainlanders go to Hong Kong to make a living and work, there are many people who begin to choose to settle in Hong Kong, the eldest sister's family is, many years ago, the eldest sister and her family came to Hong Kong together, chose to settle here, the family has lived here for more than ten years, and it is half of Hong Kong, due to work needs, the eldest sister often goes to HSBC to handle business, the eldest sister said that there are many customers who handle business that day, and they also waited for nearly 20 minutes to line up to themselves.
But when he stepped forward to handle the business, he was treated differently by the bank teller, the bank teller was very indifferent to himself, and the contrast with the previous Cantonese-speaking customer was very different, the eldest sister said that she did not understand very much, and left the scene angrily after angrily scolding the teller.
Hong Kong is an inseparable part of China, whether it is a resident of Hong Kong or a resident of the mainland, they are all part of China, no Chinese can never racially discriminate against Chinese people, as a bank teller should respect customers, after all, customers are coming with their own business, bank tellers not only do not give respect but also make discriminatory remarks against Mandarin, who is not angry, everyone is a Chinese, why is it so discriminatory against Mandarin?
The practice of the Northeast sister is also worthy of praise, the first to stand up when encountering discrimination, resolutely oppose Mandarin discrimination, the pursuit of equality, is not afraid of things, do not cause trouble attitude, discrimination against Mandarin and not speaking Mandarin are two different things, we respect Cantonese, respect local cultural customs, but the same we can choose not to accept or use when we carry out cultural exchanges, but if we discriminate or attack, it is disrespectful to a region!
Netizens' opinions
Personal experience, when I went to Hong Kong in 18 years, in the subway station, the staff was very gentle with the Hong Kong aunt in front of me, but when they heard me speak Mandarin, they rolled their eyes directly at me!
When I went to Hong Kong in '97, the Hong Kong people said they couldn't understand it, and now when I go to Hong Kong, they say "I'm sorry I don't speak Mandarin well"
More than 20 years ago, I often went to Hong Kong on business trips, and I often encountered this kind of thing at the customs at that time! I feel very uncomfortable
Nine years ago, I went to Hong Kong to stay in a hotel, the waiter pretended not to understand Mandarin, and the other waiters were about to get angry when they saw us, so they hurried over to compensate for it, but there were a lot of Hong Kong well-wishers I met along the way, and the bad guys were only a few people
When I took my children to Hong Kong for the exam that year, when I checked into the hotel, the front desk communicated with me in English, and I spoke Mandarin in Chinese with the front desk throughout the whole process.
I used to transfer in Hong Kong, and I had a bowl of beef noodles and dumplings in the cradle of a beef noodle restaurant, and they gave me a bowl of noodles with a high price to offset the fried dumplings, and in the end they took care of the loss and compensated me for a fried dumpling, and I directly buckled the fried dumplings on the table
HSBC is a British bank through and through, and it was this bank that provided the so-called "evidence" to the United States in the first place, framing Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's chief financial officer, and acting despicably!
It has been 27 years since Hong Kong's return to the motherland, why is this happening!
This kind of thing is often seen in Hong Kong, but Macau is better, the service staff take the initiative to speak Mandarin and use WeChat payment!
Support the Northeast Sister!
China is a big country and a multi-ethnic and multilingual country, and Chinese have the right to use a unified lingua franca in public!
At last
The counterattack of this Northeast elder sister is equivalent to saying no to regional discrimination, resolutely safeguarding personal dignity, and is a manifestation of calling for equality.
