Karma is a girl from Germany, influenced by her family environment, she has been interested in Chinese culture since she was a child, and last summer, she was invited by a friend to travel to China.
After visiting China's great rivers and mountains, Karma's friend wanted to give her a taste of traditional Chinese food, and then took her to a thriving Chinese restaurant for dinner.
However, when the waiter brought a dish to the table, Karma became angry and shouted in the restaurant: You Chinese have no rules at all, too rude!
01
Born into an upper-class family in Germany, Kalmar grew up hearing a lot of anecdotes about China as her parents had been in business in China for a while.
Because their family's clothing brand is very popular in China, Kalmar's parents often travel back and forth between Europe and China.
They always take advantage of their spare time to tell their daughter about the beautiful scenery of China, and when she hears about the beautiful rivers and mountains of China in her parents' mouth, she secretly vows in her heart that she must go to China to have a good look and take a good walk when she has the opportunity in the future.
However, when applying for universities, due to the difference of a few points, Kalmar missed out on Chinese universities, and finally chose to stay in Germany.
But this blow did not make her give up, but strengthened the seed in her heart to go to China to see, and during her college years, she met a good friend from China through an international forum.
This is a lively and cheerful boy, his name is Xiao Han, and he is an English student, so he often looks at the posts on the forum and posts his own opinions to help him practice English.
This quickly made the two friends and they talked about a lot of topics of mutual interest, and Xiao Han often invited Karma to come to China to play.
Xiao Han knows that Kalmar is extremely passionate about Chinese culture, especially Chinese food, and has a deep and strong interest in it, so Xiao Han hopes that she can come to China to experience the food culture here.
But due to many reasons, the plans of the two always had to be postponed, but what Xiao Han didn't expect was that just last summer, Karma actually told Xiao Han that he was coming to China.
And this time in China, Karma is going to visit here for a week, she wants to take a good look at how amazing China is, and she wants to taste Chinese specialties.
When Kalmar arrived in China, it was in the afternoon, although there were not many people at the station, but there were quite a lot of people on the streets.
Looking at the dense crowd, Karma was shocked and asked Xiao Han what happened, why are so many people crowded together? Faced with the German girl's question, Xiao Han was afraid that she would be misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained to her.
"Because this is the rush hour for Xiao Han's traffic, people who usually work during this time period have to get off work, and the children who go to school are also out of school, at this time everyone will be congested together, and the number of people on the road will gradually increase."
"China's population is so large, I've never seen anything like it in Germany!" After hearing this, she couldn't help but sigh, "And everyone is quite orderly, unlike the roads in Germany, where so many people will definitely go on a rampage." ”
After speaking, her eyes lit up even more, and she found a very important question: "Why don't you say that the backpackers don't protect the bags, aren't they afraid of the bags being robbed?" ”
02
Hearing this, Xiao Han was slightly stunned, and asked her, "In broad daylight, why are you afraid that the bag you are carrying will be snatched away by others?" ”
"There will definitely be thieves and robbers among so many people, of course you have to be afraid." After listening to Karma's words, Xiao Han suddenly understood that she must be used to thieves and bag snatchers on the streets in Germany.
So seeing so many people, and so many women carrying bags but not caring about it, for fear that they would encounter danger, "This is China, Xiao Han's social security is very good, you can rest assured, there will be no situation in Germany." ”
"Xiao Han's side even if the bag is stolen and snatched away, it is estimated that the thief will not find anything, now China uses mobile phones to pay for all aspects of electronic currency transactions, almost all of them have no penny in the bag, even if they are robbed, there will be no loss, at most the thief is angry."
"Besides, there are no thieves in China, especially for tourist cities like Kaifeng, it is impossible to allow thieves to exist, and the Chinese have always insisted on relying on their own hard work to create a world, this kind of opportunistic behavior not only damages the image of social morality, but also harms the personal image, and no one will do it."
After listening to Xiao Han's explanation, Karma was full of joy and envy, she kept praising the power of traditional Chinese culture, and even said that if Germany could be as advanced as China, it would be great, so that these girls would not have to worry about going out.
After saying that, she also began to be curious about China's electronic payment, she didn't know what kind of logic electronic payment was, and she didn't know how China should use electronic payment.
In order to prove to her the convenience of electronic payment, Xiao Han bought her a string of rock sugar gourds on the side of the road, and when she saw Xiao Han pay with WeChat, she was shocked, and then asked Xiao Han curiously if the store could receive it?
"Of course, this can be the same as Xiao Han's currency, but it is in electronic form, and it does not take up space, but it can also be safer and more secure."
For this reason, Xiao Han told her a lot of China's scientific and technological development products, such as new energy vehicles, such as those high-tech instruments, including today's online car-hailing system.
There are also services such as Meituan takeaway that every household now uses, which shocked Karma even more and surprised her again and again, but her good impression of China did not last long, and soon because of a dinner, she completely changed from loving China to thundering, and even threatened that she would never come to China again in her life.
In order to let Karma better understand the traditional Chinese food culture, Xiao Han took her to a retro Chinese restaurant, and the antique decoration style quickly attracted Kalmar's attention.
This restaurant is Xiao Han's local Internet celebrity store, and many people come to check in and eat, which also makes Xiao Han and them wait outside for two hours before they can enter.
However, on the way, Kalmar asked the waiter several times when he could get in. As a result, the waiter always told her that it would be okay in about half an hour.
However, half an hour later, when she went to ask the waiter again, the waiter told her to wait a little longer, and it would be fine for a while, which also made his temper gradually irritable, and finally he couldn't help but complain.
03
"The Chinese are not honest at all, not honest at all!" Hearing her say this, Xiao Han was very surprised and asked her who bullied her?
"He's said it many times, wait a while, but we've been waiting, several times!" After listening to her explanation, Xiao Han couldn't help laughing.
"In fact, in traditional Chinese culture, Chinese characters are also broad and profound, for example, the waiter tells you about half an hour, which means that it may be in advance, or it may be delayed, as for how long it will be delayed, it is indeed not guaranteed to you, so more than half an hour is also excusable."
After listening, Karma had no choice but to shake her head helplessly, and when Xiao Han and the others started to eat, she was dazzled by the dish in front of her, she had never seen such a delicious dish in her own country.
However, when watching Xiao Han teach her how to eat big bones and fish meat, she watched Xiao Han spit fish bones on the table, and suddenly felt very helpless, and the Chinese were too buried.
"There has never been an act of spitting bones in Germany!" It is true that there are many times when there is no meat with bones in foreign countries, and even if there are, bones are easy to remove, and they do not want the bones to be seen by others, and they feel that it is not polite or respectful.
"I feel like you're very disrespectful!"
Xiao Han just smiled slightly, "Respect comes from the heart, not caring about certain actions, Chinese food characteristics are like this, Chinese respect all different cultures, but Chinese culture is questioned, is this the legendary respect?" ”
Let's say it, Xiao Han smiled slightly, but Karma's face turned red, she was embarrassed to pick up a piece of fish meat and eat it in her mouth, and was immediately deeply attracted by its taste.
"I didn't expect the fish to be so delicious!"
"Of course, this is the etiquette of entertaining VIPs, maybe you haven't eaten in Germany, because there is not much attention there, our respect is to hope that guests can eat and have fun, and we also hope that they can have a happy trip in China."
After listening to Xiao Han's words, Karma lowered his head shyly, he solemnly apologized like what he had just said and sighed sincerely, Xiao Han must promote Chinese culture well after she goes back, and Chinese culture has also completely opened her eyes.
As a great country with a history of 5,000 years of civilization, China has always adhered to the core of inclusiveness and openness.
When we visit and interview foreign friends in China, we welcome them with the greatest warmth, and hope that they can be happy in China, as long as they can be comfortable and comfortable in China, we will feel extremely happy.
At the same time, China's traditional arts are also extremely exquisite, and the traditional food culture is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, China's traditional food culture not only contains the impact between delicious taste and taste buds, but also contains a lot of cultural connotations, which is unique to China, but also unique to Chinese culture.
