Chapter 313 Sublimated Thoughts(1/2)

Thought is undoubtedly a very wonderful thing.

For example, why people live like this? If you don’t think about it, you can live in a daze.

Just like the farmers in ancient times, they did things at sunset and rested at sunset. Being able to have a warm kang with wives and children is the highest ideal.

As long as you can have a bite of food, it is enough to be able to live. In fact, ordinary people at Xi’an University are probably in this state.

Thinking about the meaning of life is undoubtedly a very difficult thing for most people with reading disorders.

Most of their cognition in life comes from various media.

The living habits that have been continued over the years have made them habitually turn on the TV at home at night, so they really believe in the things promoted in the TV news.

In fact, this world is so weird in many cases. Many public intellectuals on the Chinese Internet are mocking the Chinese people for not having the ability to think independently.

Then he publicized a country that only has 300 million people in total, but nearly 10 million people have dyslexia, and nearly one million people still believe that everyone has the ability to think independently.

Yes, Diping said.

It is hard to imagine that in the era when satellites were about to fill the earth's orbit, there were still millions of people who firmly believed that the earth was flat. The saying of earth is just an official lie, and there were even organizations like the International Horizon Society.

Of course, this is indeed a kind of independent thinking ability.

Qiao Yu's speech in the interview was like a revelation for many such people.

Although this live broadcast is a Chinese dialogue, when broadcasting in other countries in the world, they will directly exchange it for the Chinese language using the popular AI translation technology.

Like Richard John.

Especially when Qiao Yu said that the hard-working people in the areas where they cooperated with China were sure to be willing to testify for him, he really had an impulse and went to the TV to tell everyone that what Qiao Yu said was true!

This is true of Chinese culture. As long as you are willing to work, you will definitely be able to live a good life.

He is a living example.

In the past, he had to raise his family, but it was difficult for him to raise himself! At that time, he had to go to the food bank every week to collect those dogs without eating.

Is he lazy? It's really not! It's because he doesn't have the opportunity to work at all. He wishes he could go around every day, and the salary he earned was not even enough for the whole family to have a meal.

There is no way. Although he can do welders, there is no place to recruit welders in the whole city now.

He didn't study much and his account was not good, so he could only do the lowest-level job and get the lowest hourly salary. He could not afford to support a whole family.

It’s better to stay at home and do nothing and rely on subsidies and food banks to survive.

After all, as long as he is bad, at least according to the state policy, he can also get children's health insurance plans, plus a special supplementary nutrition plan for women, infants and children, so he can live a life of food and clothing.

Everything has changed since the Chinese came.

He found a job with a good salary, and the salary of a person is enough to support his family. He even had insurance.

Speaking of which, American bosses were not as good to him as the Chinese boss. He had never understood why.

After all, in the past thirty years before his life, China was described in the news as an evil country, where people had no freedom and could only passively accept a poor life.

It was not until four years ago that the media suddenly changed its words. He didn't believe it at all at the time. Until now, he finally felt convinced that he had been living in lies for the first half of his life.

Their vision is that everyone in the world can live an ideal life as long as they are willing to work hard!

Obviously this is not friendly to those rich people! But for ordinary people like him, this is simply the best system in the world!

Their official always says that for world peace, they do a lot, but the news always starts wars everywhere.

However, the Chinese people worked hard to develop technology in order to maintain world peace! Everyone dared not start war easily to maintain world peace.

Not only that, they also need to climb up to technology so that everyone can live a relatively wealthy life. For this reason, they have to go to the moon to build a base and conquer the universe!

For a moment, Richard had a vague feeling that he found the meaning of life and the direction that needs to be fought for.

It is the feeling of finding that in life, in addition to eating, drinking, and watching TV for the first time, we should also have more pursuits and meaning.

As we all know, a middle-aged man in his forties suddenly aroused the idea that life should be fought again, which is often the beginning of a story.

But he needs some support now to make his ideas more firm.

"Thomas, do you think he is right?" Richard pointed to Qiao Yu on TV and asked his eldest son who was watching TV with all his heart.

"Of course, they may not remember, but I remember what our family was like before! What it is now!"

Thomas glanced at his two younger brothers beside him and replied in a muffled voice.

This made Richard blush slightly.

The John family is a very traditional Catholic family, so Richard actually recognized that he should be the main economic pillar of the family, while women are responsible for family affairs.

But unfortunately, he did not do this well before. But this is obviously not because he didn't work hard, but because he couldn't find the direction of his efforts.

"You know, I'm a welder, but there was no room for me to display in Philadelphia before, so-"

Richard couldn't help but defend himself.

"I understand, dad, so do you think Academician Qiao Yu is wrong now?"

Thomas asked, looking at Richard with a glance.

The two children who were still in elementary school also looked at the two families who were chatting, and the second son even said something casually.

"Dad, I know why my brother is dissatisfied with his previous life. He doesn't like to live in the same room with me. He always thinks my feet are smelly! But actually I don't think they are smelly! He also always says that I like to grab the toilet with him!"

Well, although the old house in the past is more than 100 square meters, it only has three rooms.

He and his wife wanted to live in the same room, and the youngest child had to worry about the eldest and the second child's sleeping together.

In fact, this is already very happy compared to those homeless people, but it is not as abundant now.

When expropriating the house, Huaxia gave the opinion that there were two ways to redistribute the house after expropriation.

One of them is calculated based on the family population. After the renovation of the old city is completed, each person must have 40 square meters of living space when allocating.

This distribution method is obviously more suitable for a large family population, so now the John family owns a five-bedroom house of 200 square meters and has designed four bathrooms.

It is impossible to get a bathroom when you wake up in the morning.

"Yes! Do you remember? Richard, when you first went to deal with Chinese people, you were even scared. We thought they were all barbarians, but now do you still think they are barbarians?"

My wife also joked next to her.

Although she usually prefers to watch HBC dramas during this period of time and is completely uninterested in these high-tech and interview programs, today the school teachers recommend everyone to watch this live broadcast, and she still patiently watches by the side.

Richard shrugged and said with a smile, "Okay, it seems I asked a stupid question."

At night, the Johns slept two hours later than usual.

Finally settled all three children, and at the same time fulfilled the little wish of the two little guys to listen to a story before going to bed.

The wife then returned to the room.

But I found that my husband, who should have gone to bed, did not sleep, but sat on the head of the bed, dazed.

You should know that although it is Saturday every day, Richard, like his eldest son, has to work overtime.

There is no way. Although from their perspective, the Chinese are already efficient enough, and God knows how many times that of the American engineering team. But the Chinese seem to be not satisfied at all, and they think the engineering construction is too slow.

The foreman from China said that there are more than 50 states in this land, and each state will have a lot of projects to be done in the future!

They must quickly complete all the projects in Philadelphia before they can continue to build more projects elsewhere so that more Americans can enjoy the happiness of the new era.

Of course, Richard didn't know that all foremen who came to the United States actually underwent special foreign affairs training, including how to treat local migrant workers, as well as various rhetoric and rhetoric.

But why didn’t I believe these remarks before? In his opinion, rushing the construction period is just to make more money. What kind of life does Americans live and what does it have to do with Chinese people?

So the Chinese foreman's statement made him disdainful. But today's situation changed his view again, although - maybe that's how the Chinese really think about it?

It was as if he had always thought that China was a barbaric country before! The people there had no freedom. But the facts proved that Chinese people were not only not barbaric, but were even far more kind than their own people.

Even the town of Fish transformed by China is different from before. The public security is better than before.

In the past, he would never allow his children to go out alone at night. Even if he and his wife were particularly necessary, they would not choose to go out after 7 pm.

No one can say what will happen outside under the darkness.

But now the public security of the entire Fish Town has begun to improve significantly. The homeless people who used to wander around the streets are gone. Especially in the neighborhoods where Chinese people live, there are even shops open all night.

It’s just to increase some treatment and make the police run more diligently. If they enforce the law indiscriminately, they will be warned.”

Of course these are things he heard from. He had never thought about these things before, but after reading the interview and chatting with the children today, he suddenly felt that maybe this is what the Chinese really thinks.

It is normal for him to not understand what has been accumulated by five thousand years of civilization. But that kind of dedication is common.

"Dear, why haven't you sleep yet?" the wife who changed her pajamas asked casually.

Like other middle-aged couples who have had three children, they are too familiar with each other and have lost their youthful passion. So their wife doesn't think Richard wants to do something today.

This is indeed the case.

"I'm considering whether I should join the organization in China, well, I mentioned it to you before."

"Didn't you say you didn't think about it before?"

"But today my thoughts have changed. If Chinese people are trying to make more Americans live a better life, how can we enjoy these with peace of mind?"

Richard asked back.

The wife did not directly answer. After all, she was also one of the vested interests.
To be continued...
