In this big southern province, there were four to five million people with religious beliefs, especially the minority of people who were democratic. Ninety percent of them had religious beliefs. Buddhism was the most popular religion here, with more than sixty percent of the religious believers believing in Buddhism.
Therefore, it wasn't difficult for the two of them to find a place to pray and burn incense.
"Okay, let's go." Xia Qiuyu agreed very quickly this time. First, she didn't want to reject Yang Ya's good intentions. Second, she did need a spiritual sustenance to calm the worries in her heart.
After the two of them reached a consensus, they immediately left the hotel to pray.
However, just as the two of them were about to go downstairs and leave the hotel, there was a conflict in the hotel lobby.
A few arrogant Japanese tourists were shouting at the hotel's waitresses, "Is this how you serve us? You're in the service business, you should pick up the chewing gum when we spit it out! Not tell us not to spit it out! "
"I'm sorry, sir. I can help you pick it up, but if you spit it out, it might affect other guests." The waitress was actually very polite.
The lobby manager bowed and said, "I'm sorry, she's new and doesn't know the rules."
"If she doesn't know the rules, don't let her work here! You Hua Xia people are really stupid! " One of the Japanese women raised her head and said arrogantly, "I really don't know what you Hua Xia people have done all these years! When I first came to Hua Xia in 1986, you Hua Xia people were already like this, and you're still like this now. A trash country will always be a trash country, there's no development or progress. "
"Yes, yes, yes, you're right." The lobby manager didn't dare to say no to a guest, let alone an "international friend."
"I told you Hua Xia people would still have a sense of servility in a few hundred years!" The Japanese woman bared her teeth. "If we won back then and colonized you for a few hundred years, we might be able to cure your servility! You might be richer than you are now! "
However, any hot-blooded Hua Xia people wouldn't be happy to hear this.
"Is that what she's saying!? What are you talking about?! "Xia Qiuyu was furious at that moment.
Although she was a Hua Xia citizen, she did not have the "humility" of a Hua Xia citizen. When she heard this, she did not hesitate to step forward.
Seeing this, the lobby manager hurriedly said to Xia Qiuyu, "I'm sorry, this is just a small misunderstanding. I'll definitely settle it."
The hotel had to have a good performance, and the lobby manager also had a commission. These Japanese people were obviously rich. They must have booked a suite for a long time. Before leaving, they could buy a lot of souvenirs from the hotel. Therefore, he would not let these guests go.
If he offended these Japanese now, they would leave before even getting a room.
"What are you going to do with it? Just deal with it like this? Bowing and scraping like a slave? "Xia Qiuyu said," Do you not understand what this woman is saying? "
"No … I … Aiya, Miss, please do us a favor. This is our hotel's matter. Let us handle it." The lobby manager begged, "You don't have to stand up for a waitress and offend an 'international friend'."
When the Japanese woman saw the manager's attitude, she became even more arrogant. She suddenly spat on the floor and said to the waitress, "This is your reward. Use your sleeve to wipe the floor clean. I'll give you a tip!"
As she said that, the Japanese woman really rummaged through her bag and took out a 10 yen note from her pocket! It was yen!!
With a clank, the yen was thrown on the floor.
"Pick it up!" The Japanese woman said arrogantly.
The lobby manager also walked forward and said to the waitress in a low voice, "Pick it up! The guest wants you to pick it up! No matter what, this is money. Pick it up and wipe the spit clean. This matter will be over! I'll give you full attendance this month! "
"Manager, I didn't ask for leave and was late. It's my duty to be full attendance." The waitress was already in tears.
"Then you pick it up for me too!" Although the lobby manager lowered his voice, the way he gritted his teeth was still quite ferocious. "Full attendance or not, I have the final say!"
Xia Qiuyu couldn't take it anymore. She stepped forward and stepped on the yen note. "Aren't you bullying me! Ten yen, this is just a 50 cent coin in Hua Xia! Manager, do you think they can trample on your employee's dignity with just 50 cents? "
The lobby manager was really speechless at this nosy woman. "This is our hotel and our guest's matter. It has nothing to do with you. I hope you don't interfere."
"Nothing to do with me?" Xia Qiuyu sneered. "Am I not a guest? I'm a guest too! "
"You really like to meddle in other people's business. Who do you think you are?" The Japanese woman said, "You're just a Hua Xia person. You're not an American or a European. What right do you have to control me?"
Xia Qiuyu directly questioned, "Looks like you Japanese's servile nature hasn't changed after so many years. Americans and Europeans can discipline you as they wish, right?"
The Japanese woman glared. "What do you mean by that!"
"I mean what you mean," Xia Qiuyu said. Xia Qiuyu said, "Respect is mutual. Don't expect us to treat you with respect when you treat us Chinese like this!"
"That's right. Remember, you're the defeated country. Victory belongs to us." Yang Ya also said, "Don't think too highly of yourself."
Hearing Yang Ya's words, the Japanese were even angrier.
These Japanese were obviously very angry. Being defeated might be a shadow that they couldn't get rid of for the rest of their lives.
Xia Qiuyu saw that they were about to attack and hurriedly pulled Yang Ya back. She said sternly, "Is she wrong? What she said is the truth! Are you going to deny it? "
"Shut up, we're not talking to you right now! You're just people from a weak country, so don't talk to us about this! "The Japanese's face was filled with indignation.
"We're a weak country?" Xia Qiuyu glared. "Do you really think that you Japanese are stronger than us? Let me tell you, heroes don't care about their origins. Poor people can turn the tables! Do you really think that our Hua Xia is still the Hua Xia of the past? "
Thirty years, to a person, was half a lifetime, but to a country and people, it was a drop in the ocean. However, this drop of time was a grand era, an era that overturned the world's view!
Hua Xia's poverty in the eighties was shocking. No one denied that. Therefore, after the country opened its doors, people were shocked by the prosperity of the outside world!
Therefore, many people in the seventies and eighties were exposed to the beautiful examples of foreign paradise from a young age.
For example, the Japanese primary school students performed very well in the summer camp. One Japanese child defeated ten Hua Xia children. For example, how the Japanese government cleverly bought Hua Xia resources and sunk them offshore for future use … Of course, these were all f * cking lies. They weren't practical at all!
For example, people in the American Empire had a monthly income of more than ten thousand, hot water came out of the tap, and even color televisions. For example, the European cities were full of buildings, and every household had a flush toilet. Even private individuals could afford to buy cars …
These were all stories that people born in the seventies and eighties grew up listening to.
Although today, the envy of people back then seemed laughable, it was the reality of the situation back then. What kind of people could own cars in the eighties?
Who would dare to believe that they could one day sit on a flush toilet and poop?!
Therefore, until today, many people liked to use sentences like "only Hua Xia is like that … other foreigners are like that …" in an attempt to prove that Hua Xia and Hua Xia people were inferior.
If even Hua Xia people said that, it was needless to say what foreigners thought of Hua Xia. Especially arrogant people like the Japanese, their disdain for Hua Xia was even deeper.
In fact, most of the people who still said such things were influenced by the old literati, and not because of their personal experience.
In the current Hua Xia society, there was a large group of people who were shattered by the huge gap between Hua Xia and China in the eighties. Now, they were straightening their backs and changing the entire Hua Xia society!
