For example, if someone asks Chinese why they think their living standards are better than those of South Korea and Japan, this is pure nonsense, and they really take themselves seriously.
Not long ago, a ridiculous question appeared on a foreign Q&A website, asking whether today's Chinese people still think their living standards are better than those of South Korea and Japan. Seeing this kind of problem, Chinese netizens couldn't cry or laugh, and they were also drunk.
The people of South Korea and Japan have a problem with even the most basic food and drink, let alone a standard of living. Take watermelon as an example, for Chinese, watermelon is simply commonplace, but Koreans see watermelon as a luxury, a watermelon in South Korea costs 30,000 won, equivalent to about 160 yuan, which is really sky-high.
It is said that Koreans do not even let go of the skin of watermelon after eating, and even pickle it as a side dish. There is an interesting fact, a while ago, a video of a pig eating watermelon was circulated on the Internet, which angered all Korean netizens, and they cursed the video for being posed, because they couldn't imagine that Chinese could eat watermelon casually.
Ridiculous or not? In their eyes, even tea eggs are a luxury, let alone watermelon. The situation in Japan is not much better, and the people at the bottom there simply make instant noodles commonplace in order to save money.
Some netizens broke the news that the amount of Japanese meals is too small, and you can eat it all in one bite, and it is estimated that there are no fat people except for sumo wrestlers. In contrast, even grassroots workers in China have three dishes and one soup every day, and they can eat enough fish and meat.
If this is placed in South Korea and Japan, it will probably be a national treasure. Don't look at the two countries that lick the rice country all day long, in fact, they are the nouveau riche faces for the common people.
Even the cultural heritage handed down from their ancestors has been preemptively registered by them, and they really regard the world as their own. Including the Great Wall, the Spring Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, Hanfu, etc., one by one, it is estimated that it will not be long before the whole universe will have to be passed down from their ancestors.
Forget it, why compare the standard of living with them? The data is here, China is already the world's second largest economy, per capita disposable income is rising, who can't afford to eat a few watermelons?
Not to mention those neighboring countries that have been flattened by the United States, they don't even have sovereignty, so what kind of shelf are they embarrassed to make? That kind of problem is nothing more than secretly sowing discord.
We can live our own lives well, and as for how developed we are, we should know in our hearts. What do you have to do with your neighbors who live in a sense of self?
