Recently, a Hong Kong celebrity chose to use Cantonese for live broadcast when he brought goods in the mainland, which caused some viewers to question it.
In response, he said that he would not switch to Mandarin because he caters to the market.
Cai Qijun's live broadcast of goods and speaking Cantonese caused controversy
mentioning Cai Qijun; Many Lao Guang must feel familiar.
This guy was on TVB in Hong Kong back then, and he was popular in the eighties and nineties, although most of them played supporting roles, he was handsome and hardworking;
The audience remembers it firmly in their hearts.
It's a pity that the years are not forgiving;
There are many newcomers, and his star is slowly dimming.
In 2014, he decided not to be an actor anymore and returned to his hometown Foshan to start a new life.
Not an actor anymore; Cai Qijun was not idle, and went to the catering industry to toss;
opened a rice noodle shop, a café, and a hot pot restaurant; It's quite hilarious.
But the good days didn't last long, and the epidemic came;
The shops are closed one after another, and the catering dream is temporarily stranded.
But Cai Qijun's brain was active, and he saw the boom of live broadcasting, and simply set up a chicken foot stall in the vegetable market;
also broadcast the whole process from morning to night, which is quite fresh.
Just as this small live broadcast business has just picked up, I didn't expect something to go wrong.
Because he spoke Cantonese throughout the live broadcast, he was fried on the Internet, and some people thought that he didn't speak Mandarin, saying that it was disrespectful to Mandarin-speaking audiences;
There are even people who talk about the inexplicable saying that "speaking Cantonese = unpatriotic".
Cai Qijun himself was stunned, and the hat was too outrageous.
The party responded: I don't come to Mandarin at the age of college
On May 5th, Cai Qijun specially filmed a Douyin video to tell everyone why he used Cantonese for live broadcast.
He said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am a Cantonese myself, so I naturally speak Cantonese.
Some people say; If you don't know Mandarin, don't join the live broadcast, and ask me if I only plan to sell to Guangdong villagers.
I have to make it clear, I am a small actor, and my fans are concentrated in Liangguang;
Out of the Pearl River Delta, who still knows me. ”
He went on to say, "Let me start from the beginning;
Breaking into the market in Mandarin, I'm afraid I won't last long.
The audience of Mandarin speakers is indeed large, but I grew up speaking Cantonese, and my way of thinking is also Cantonese.
It's really hard to suddenly change Mandarin now.
I'm 40 years old, so how can I learn from scratch like a child.
If you say it by force, it will be a bad thing.
What can be explained in one minute in Cantonese, I may have to go on for three minutes in Mandarin. ”
Someone commented that if you want to be big, you have to speak Mandarin, Cai Qijun sighed and said: "I also want to be big and do well, but I have to do what I can."
It would be nice to be able to manage this small piece of land in front of you.
I love Cantonese, I also like Mandarin, and I have also enrolled in classes to learn Mandarin in private;
But when I'm older, I can't learn the tone and charm.
On the other hand, if everyone gave up dialects for the sake of the market, wouldn't Cantonese be gone? ”
This video was released; Immediately received nearly 30,000 Guangdong netizens to praise and support.
Some messages said: "Sichuan people can speak Sichuan, Shanghainese can speak Shanghainese;
Why is it that as soon as Cantonese people speak Cantonese, some people jump out and make irresponsible remarks? ”
Some netizens sighed: "Friends from other provinces say that Cantonese people do a good job of inheriting cultural customs;
But the Cantonese treatment is not happy.
Now Mandarin is everywhere in schools, workplaces, and homes;
Even parents in Guangdong speak Mandarin to their children. ”
What's even funnier is that there is a voice on the Internet that thinks that speaking Mandarin is respectful of people, and speaking Cantonese is rude;
It has even risen to the level that speaking Mandarin is equal to patriotism, and speaking Cantonese is not patriotic.
It's really laughable.

Cai Qijun strongly supported the Cantonese live broadcast and was praised
Cai Qijun insisted on broadcasting live in Cantonese, which won the support of many netizens, and the big guys said: "Brother Cai is right to do this;
People have to have their own position, and at the same time they have to respect others.
It's not that you have to reinvent yourself in order to accommodate anyone;
What is most lacking now is that everyone should take more responsibility for each other and understand more. ”
Some people feel that Cai Qijun is not only insisting on himself, but also guarding Cantonese.
"Think about it, if everyone changes to cater to others, then sooner or later Cantonese will have to disappear into the wind.
We have to cherish our roots;
We can't just let it go away. ”
Eason Chan had the same experience
Actually, Cai Qijun is not the first to be picked on for speaking Cantonese live broadcasts.
Earlier, Eason Chan held a concert in Macau and chatted with fans in Cantonese;
was also shouted by the audience to "speak Mandarin".
Eason Chan was also very unhappy at the time, he said: "If you have to listen to Cantonese, you can speak it well, don't shout loudly as soon as you come up." ”
Although he was scolded like this, Eason Chan did not compromise, but straightened his waist and responded: "I don't understand Cantonese;
You can ask the staff to mention it gently, so it is much more polite.
I hope you will respect my choice to speak Cantonese. ”
Some netizens stood up to support: "There's nothing wrong with speaking Cantonese, it's also a Chinese dialect."
Others are scared, we don't have to go to our hearts.
I hope everyone will be more respectful and tolerant. ”
