Text / Emerald embroidered birds
There is a good saying: tourism is nothing more than going from a city that you are tired of staying in to a city where others are tired of staying. And there is one city that I have been to no less than 20 times in the past six years, and that is Shanghai.
When it comes to Shanghai, perhaps the first thing that comes to many people's minds is not a positive image, but an impression of "xenophobia" and "pretending to be forced". It's no wonder that, just like the body's rejection response, human instinct is like that.
Just recently, there was a seemingly outrageous, but somewhat reasonable "joke" circulating on the Internet, which is that when two people are applauding for love, the man will shout "Hu Ye impact".
When something is too outrageous, its authenticity increases. We will not press the authenticity of this "joke" for the time being, but this sentence "Huye impact" has really impacted netizens.
After that, the up master of station B [Chuji chuki] used the mascot of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo "Haibao", with these impactful Shanghainese to make an emoji, which made Haibao popular again.
Of course, the most popular of them is the "Huye Impact".
If there is anyone who can compete with the Shanghai World Expo in terms of fame, it can only be the Beijing Olympics, so the mascot of the 2008 Beijing Olympics "Fuwa" was immediately invited out of the mountain to meet Haibao.
Regional jokes never go out of style, and people have been looking for all kinds of outdated mascots, matching them with local abbreviations, and making one "shock" meme after another.
From this point of view, the Haibao and Fuwa dolls piled together in the cabinet at home may be the most harmonious between Beijing and Shanghai.
Then again, these so-called regional jokes did not arise after the IP attribution was revealed, but they did "carry forward" after the IP attribution was displayed...... If you encounter an unpleasant remark on the Internet, you can immediately follow the IP to check the composition and attack it as a "regional black".
Maybe it's because as a Henan person who has been attacked too many times, "self-blackening" has become a three-dimensional defense method one step ahead, and I am a little gloating when I see these emojis with the yin and yang of the domain name.
But in fact, this kind of emoji led by "Hu Ye Impact" is no longer as infuriating as pure regional black. With the development of the Internet, we seem to be gradually accustomed to dissolving offensive remarks with memes, and treating "discrimination" as a joke.
Times have changed after all, and people with Henan IPs will say that this is me under the news of Pokémon manhole covers; People with Shanghai IPs will say that they drink freshly ground coffee every day and then citywalk; People with Fujian IPs will say "Mazu is asked in the morning, and people arrive in the afternoon".
I once read a post on an anonymous Weibo bot called "Why are sparrows in Beijing so big?", in which the author recounted the "xenophobia" he encountered in Beijing as a child.
The first time I went to Beijing was five or six years old, and now that memory has long been blurred, let alone how the people of Beijing are like, the only impression is that I was dragged up by my family to watch the flag-raising as soon as it was dawn, for which I cried extremely reluctantly for a long time.
At the end of last year, I came to Beijing again after more than ten years, sang with a few relatives and friends until midnight, and then called Didi back to the hotel. I don't know if it's because of the influence of the submission of "Beijing's Sparrows", when I chatted in the car, I became more pronounced and with a child's pronunciation, consciously imitating Beijing dialect.
What he thought was a perfect imitation was actually easily spotted by the locals — but not in a derogatory sense, the driver said, "You're here to visit Beijing, right?" Have fun! ”
If "Beijing Welcomes You" is fake, then I probably don't see Beijingers.
I admit that it is very difficult to change regional stereotypes, especially the older generation, who practice "stereotypes" while instilling stereotypes from other places into the next generation. But when you do walk a lot of places, you will find that most people are actually very friendly.
I have met a lot of friends in Shanghai because of the second dimension, and I don't think there is anything bad about them, I was once asked by my family where I want to develop in the future, and my answer is also Shanghai, it seems that after going to the World Expo, the city has deeply attracted me.
However, the elders of the family told me to be wary of Shanghainese, saying that they were not only xenophobic but also very shrewd, and then moved out to prove this stereotype by the strange eyes they suffered in Shanghai when they were younger.
Of course, I will not alienate the Shanghai friends I have made because of this, and I have been going to Shanghai more and more frequently in recent years - although most of them are for the purpose of participating in the two-dimensional local activities, who makes "there is only one city in China"?
As the saying goes, people go to high places, water flows to low places, and everyone wants to go to big cities for development, especially Shanghai.
The buses in Shanghai use Shanghainese to announce the station, but it was like a foreign language to me, and I couldn't understand a word. Whenever this happens, it becomes clear to me that even if I am holding a cup of coffee on the streets of Shanghai at 8 a.m., I will always be a "villager" in my life.
Where is Shanghai worth aspiring to? After having been to Shanghai so many times, I asked myself again.
In November of this year, ASL (anisama world, Japan's largest two-dimensional platter live) was coming to Shanghai, and relatives and friends asked me if I wanted to go. I looked at the guest list, thought about it for a while, and still couldn't go.
I figured it out, it turned out that I didn't yearn for Shanghai, but just for the things I was interested in, and those things happened to always be in Shanghai.
Shanghai is a nice city, but after going there so many times, I probably ...... Finally I got tired of it - when people asked me where there was anything fun in Shanghai, I would say nothing fun, and if I was asked what was delicious, I would say Japanese food.
Now I yearn for Guangzhou because there are so many delicious foods.
