Seeing that the two groups of people were about to get on the verge of taking action, Chen Nian couldn't sit idly by. He stopped in front of Li Xiang and asked the young man:
"You keep talking about how the United States is like. Do you understand the United States?"
He didn't want to let the matter develop into a fight. Although there was no suggestion that he slapped the car and lifted the car, the fight would still be recorded on the record.
Therefore, since this person likes to provoke and argue so much, then just defeat him in his field.
It would be better if you provoke him into making the first move.
"Haha, do I know the United States? I watched Die Hard when I was three years old, and read On the Road when I was nine. It is no exaggeration to say that the United States is my spiritual home."
"Do you understand what hometown is? Forget it, people like you won't understand. The brainwashing is too thorough."
Chen Nian nodded and continued:
"I don't understand. Then tell me, what is so good about America?"
"Freedom! Freedom is everything. Only in a country without freedom can we know the value of freedom even more."
A longing look appeared on the man's face. Chen Nian had seen many such looks in his previous life.
Whether it’s the lady giving a speech with sweet air, or the lady keeping a diary with a speck of dust, or the lady washing feet who immigrated to work, they all have this look on their faces more or less.
The more lacking you are, the more you can only see what you want to see.
"Oh? Where is freedom?"
"Second Amendment, residents can carry guns!"
"It's pretty good. There are 6,000 gun deaths a year, and there should be an increase in the past two years. In a free America, there are gun battles every day."
"...Anyone can own their own land and buy and sell it freely!"
"The Indians gave you a thumbs up. They even transferred the land for free - oh no, I gave you a scalp. By the way, most of the land in the United States is in the hands of farmers and capitalists. People like you in the past didn't Talking about land, you can’t even get into the cemetery.”
"Can you try saying something again?"
"What, are you going to take action? Didn't you just talk pretty well? I don't think you know the United States very well."
"Okay, I will argue with you today! Come on, I won't bully you. I won't talk about technology, just cultural system! Americans have medical insurance, and medical treatment is free. Do you understand?"
Chen Nian laughed dumbly.
"You kid is still playing puns, right? Have you ever been to the United States to see a doctor? Minor illnesses are not cured, but serious illnesses cannot be cured. Why don't you give it a try?"
Before the man could refute, Chen Nian continued:
"Don't talk to me about freedom or not. You don't understand the concept of freedom at all."
"You think we are not free, but in fact it's just that the freedom we understand is different from the freedom in the United States."
"What we are talking about has always been the freedom of natural persons. You can do whatever you want, play whatever you want, you can even go out to the night market at 12 o'clock - of course, it is still a little dangerous now, but in a few years it will be will become a reality.”
"You try it in America? I'll do it for you with one shot!"
"The freedom of the United States is the freedom of legal persons. Everyone is an aggregation of legal persons. What you mentioned about gun ownership, land transactions, and even medical insurance that will never be used are all manifestations of legal person freedom."
"In other words, this is a kind of freedom for the strong."
"Okay, let me ask you now, do you want the freedom of natural persons or the freedom of legal persons?!"
"Do you want all weak people to have the same right to survive, or do you want to actually enter a society where the jungle prevails?"
"You think you will be superior to others when you go to the United States. Are you worthy?"
A series of questions directly confused the young man.
As a top student in the Computer Science Department of Western Polytechnic University, his exposure to outside knowledge is indeed much higher than that of his peers, but the only problem is that most of the things he sees are filtered.
Although there is no so-called big data algorithm now, for Chinese people, the West has a more efficient propaganda method.
language.
When accessing the external Internet and the screen is full of English, if a Chinese message appears, the reader's attention will naturally be attracted.
This is a commonly used tactic, and judging from the young man's reaction, it's very effective.
It is precisely because of this information that he has a sense of superiority most of the time.
But unfortunately, he met his opponent today.
Chen Nian has experience in his previous life. He has seen and experienced too many things.
Moreover, these intuitive experiences are obviously much more intuitive and convincing than the information the other party obtains from the Internet.
Therefore, for a moment, he didn't know how to answer at all, so he could only stammer:
"You...you are just talking strong words! The United States is stronger than your country. Isn't this a fact?"
"I'm still in your country, and I won't say anything to encourage you to immigrate. In short, twenty years from now, when you think of these remarks of mine, I hope you won't be embarrassed..."
After that, Chen Nian stopped talking nonsense to him.
The opponent's momentum has been completely suppressed, and it is basically impossible to have another conflict.
The only thing that made Chen Nian regretful was that at this level, he didn't even feel comfortable scolding him.
In a word, even before the aggression was raised, the flag was completely turned off.
The two men in Chinese tunic suits sitting at the next table also relaxed a little.
Their duty is just to keep Chen Nian away from danger, so there is no need to worry about this kind of verbal dispute.
It is normal for young people to take detours in their thinking. Facts will prove everything sooner or later.
However, what Chen Nian said just now touched them a lot.
Freedom of natural persons and freedom of legal persons.
This is a concept they have never heard of, but if they think about it carefully, it is indeed the case.
To put it this way, the freshman in front of me is not only academically far ahead of his peers, but also has a depth of thought that others cannot match.
Is this the world of genius?
The man sighed quietly, feeling inexplicably lucky.
Counting famous people, let’s look at the present...
...
After eating, Chen Nian and his group strolled back to school. Cai Kun didn't speak much since the conflict. When he was approaching the school gate, he suddenly caught up with Chen Nian who was walking in front and said :
"Chen Nian, I think what you said makes sense."
"Actually, I have always had the same thoughts as that person - I can't say the same. Of course I won't say anything about immigrating, but I have always felt that the United States is indeed freer."
"But I've thought about the concept you mentioned today carefully, and I think it's right."
"The system of this country is based on civilization, and the basis of our civilization is actually...how to say..."
"It's survival and continuity."
"That's right!"
Cai Kun nodded sharply.
Chen Nian smiled and continued:
"I don't know if you have read literature from other countries. I have read a joke about this before."
"American literature is, I die for freedom; France is, I die for romance; Russia is, I will die; Japan is, I want to die."
"Do you know what China is?"
"What is it?"
Li Xiang came over and asked curiously.
"Alive!"
