sequence
After Dong Yuhui, this young man became popular, people were really afraid of being famous, pigs were afraid of being strong, and there were more voices of support, and those who picked thorns also came.
I feel that there are people muttering next to him about what he does, no, the recent incident in Hong Kong also made him lie down.
At the beginning, everyone regarded him as an ordinary Internet celebrity, and after a long time, hey, I found that something was wrong, Dong Yuhui, this kid is no longer an Internet celebrity who simply wears a vest.
You see him, promoting the culture of various places, chatting with aerospace heroes, this one thing is clear, he has been upgraded, and he has become a little expert in cultural communication, and the burden is heavy.
Whether it is the common people or official institutions, they are very eager to see him.
The current Dong Yuhui is not only a living signboard of New Oriental, but also a beautiful business card displayed by Douyin to the outside world, and he is still a standard model student.
Dong Yuhui said a word of English to Huo Qigang, which sparked heated discussions
With Dong Yuhui's fame, all over the country rushed to invite him as a guest, and this time it was Hong Kong's turn to be lively.
He first went to Hong Kong to warm up for his official visit, and was mainly busy with two major tasks.
The first thing is to pick a celebrity friend for an interview.
Hong Kong has given a list, there are big names in the cultural circle and the entertainment industry, Dong Yuhui has to ponder and figure out who is the most suitable.
During the live broadcast in March, he was super excited, saying that there were movie stars on the list that he had seen since he was a child, and he liked it very much.
When the two sides nodded, they had to meet with the guests in advance to discuss what to talk about, and they had a score in their hearts.
Second, the live broadcast must be properly arranged.
Hong Kong is very concerned, the live broadcast location and schedule have been preliminarily decided, and there is another place that Dong Yuhui loves to shoot for movies, and he was excited when he mentioned it, and he also imitated the classic actions of the charter wife, which made people guess whether there would be a shadow of Stephen Chow.
These have to be talked about again, and the details are knocked to death.
In fact, he went to Hong Kong in April, and it was estimated that he had already laid the foundation at that time.
This warm-up, meeting Huo Qigang was even more popular.
Huo Qigang's identities are too numerous to count, from the representative of the National People's Congress to the vice president of the enterprise, all of them are full of weight.
The two had a brief conversation, and they earned enough eyeballs.
But some people were unhappy, just because Dong Yuhui said a few words of English to Huo Qigang when he said goodbye, saying that he had low self-esteem and insisted on showing English.
In fact, it was Huo Qigang who spoke Cantonese first, and Dong Yuhui didn't understand it, so he naturally responded in English, how could he be so exquisite.
Dong Yuhui's English farewell caused controversy
Just said goodbye in two simple English, Dong Yuhui was said to fall to the altar, which was too much.
The online comments blew up, as if everyone had a stomach full of opinions about Dong Yuhui, asking him why he spoke English on such an occasion, pointing out that he was not confident enough.
Some people even hold on to their inferiority: look at that look, dodging and dodging.
Some people directly asked: It's too floating, who do you think you are.
Especially when I heard that Huo Qigang used Cantonese and Mandarin, Dong Yuhui risked English, and netizens were even more unhappy: Huo Qigang can speak Chinese, why does Dong Yuhui love to show off so much?
Don't forget, although Dong Yuhui was born in the countryside, he is very confident, and using English is a reflection of good cultivation.
Huo Qigang speaks Mandarin, and Dong Yuhui returns to English, doesn't this mean that both of them are polite? Huo Qigang speaks Mandarin and is praised and respected; Dong Yuhui spoke English, but was criticized for floating, isn't this a double standard.
At the end of the day, both of them are taking care of each other and communicating in each other's accustomed language.
Speaking English does not mean that we are not patriotic, we have to analyze the specific situation on a case-by-case basis.
Cantonese and English are often spoken in Hong Kong, and it was natural for Dong Yuhui to do so.
Let's not be nervous at the mention of English, as if whoever speaks English is not confident.
Cross-cultural communication, using the language that the other party understands, is actually quite intimate.
Dong Yuhui's English farewell is not a slot, but a highlight.
He is not afraid of life, and he can talk to anyone, which is called wit.
He and Huo Qigang added WeChat to each other, saying goodbye in English, showing both sincerity and empathy, both of them have their own style, and there is no need to compare.
Hong Kong friends don't mind, their enthusiasm for Dong Yuhui is high.
Dong Yuhui's English turmoil: a bridge of communication or a show-off?
Dong Yuhui has been found guilty of speaking English again, and this is not the first time.
I remember being interviewed at CGTN last year, and the whole process was in English, and some people were picky.
Here's what Yuhui said:
I speak English, not to show off, but to tear down the walls of communication and seamlessly connect with foreign guests.
The purpose of our international media is to understand each other at home and abroad.
English is the lingua franca of the world, and using it for interviews can shorten the distance with the world and enhance our international style.
Think about it, this interview is for overseas audiences around the world, CCTV International Channel, English is a conventional weapon for international communication, what's wrong? Go directly to the battle in English, so that foreigners can see our outstanding young people, what a long face.
This misunderstanding of Yuhui feels quite funny.
Say two sentences of English on the platform, then let's go to college English from childhood, and we still have to take the college entrance examination, how can this be counted? Language is a communication tool, not a patriotic excuse to spray people.
The country is open, the economy and culture need to be exchanged, and English is naturally learned.
Everyone has shortcomings, and no one is perfect when they are looked at with a magnifying glass.
Although Yuhui is a celebrity, he is also an ordinary person, with emotions and preferences.
We have to learn to be tolerant, enjoy the fun and touching he brings more, and pick fewer bones in the eggs, right?
Follow-up responses
After the incident broke out, Dong Yuhui also came out to explain, in fact, because in addition to Huo Qigang, there were other people at the scene, these people spoke Cantonese and couldn't understand Mandarin.
Although Huo Qigang can understand, he also has to take care of the people on the side, and he can't speak Cantonese, so he can only mix Chinese and English, so as not to embarrass others.
Dong Yuhui did this, in fact, he wanted to take care of everyone present, even if he was misunderstood.
What an attentive and considerate guy.
epilogue
After all, language is a tool for communication, and there is no distinction between high and low.
Dong Yuhui used English, maybe he was used to it, or the scene came naturally at that time.
Hong Kong is a melting pot of various cultures, English is everywhere on the street, and it is not uncommon for officials to speak English.
Dong Yuhui did this, maybe it was a respect for the local culture and following the local customs.
Let's not take it too seriously, he said that he kept in touch in English, and there was no big problem.
A big man like Huo Qigang may still appreciate this international style.
Dong Yuhui's trip to Hong Kong is actually a good opportunity for cultural exchange.
He used his own style to show the charm of cultural tourism, and let fans know more about our traditional Chinese culture.
The controversy caused by one sentence is controversy, but we have to see the good things he did and the efforts he made, right?
