Reborn on Top of Football

v5 Chapter 298: Call me Xiao Wanger (8)

"The cultural differences between Europe and China are quite obvious, but they are not so exaggerated. I think we have some descriptions and summaries in our country. It is wrong to just look at the positive side of Europe and criticize our own negative side. Wang Ai later explained: "For example, I have heard such a saying that children in American families are particularly self-reliant, and they rely on themselves after the age of 18. This is an exaggeration. Because many American families do not have savings, their parents may live in I have a big house, but my monthly income is used to repay loans or consumption, and I am unable to help the children. Those who are able to help will basically not be ignored."

Seeing that both of them were listening, Wang Esso said more: "The most obvious is the right of inheritance. If the rich people in the United States really insist on the idea that their children are completely independent, then they can completely spend all their money before they die. . But some families in the United States have been passed down from generation to generation, for hundreds of years, such as the Morgan family. Some wealthy children do work in high school and college, but it is not so much self-reliance as a social practice. Parents and children Feelings and instincts are the same both in ancient and modern times. Unless you can’t help, if you can, would you still look at you and not reach out? It’s impossible.”

Seeing the two nodded, Wang Ai returned with words: "France is one of the birthplaces of European thought, but even in France, the Golden Globes held by the French are actually based on collective honor higher than individual honor. Because Football is a typical sport. You can’t be totally individualistic. Maradona’s long-distance rush is only one in your life. Most of the time you have to rely on the collective and contribute to the collective. So in Europe, the individual is completely higher than the collective. It’s not right. Similarly, the relationship between teammates and friends is actually not much different from our Chinese. I won the Golden Globe last year and invited my teammates to dinner."

"Little Wanger, let me add this." Bai Yansong said: "Did you bring this habit to Inter Milan? Or did they have it in the first place?"

Wang Ai shook his head: "I didn't bring it, because when I sent the invitation, no one was surprised. Besides, when I was at Chelsea, in 2005, Lampard won the second Golden Globe Award, and our team went In Paris, after the award ceremony, Frank Lampard invited us to dinner. Yes, it’s not part of the AA system. I think we have some publicity, too much. I can understand. Some people say that they want us to change Some bad habits, faster progress. But some, it is a bit of a blow to our national self-confidence. Let me give another example, the meal system. It seems that the popular saying in our country is that foreigners have a meal system, special civilization, Clean, and some people say that we should get rid of the habit of using chopsticks and use more knives and forks, right?"

Duan Xuan nodded: "Yes, I've heard this statement."

Wang Ai stretched his hands: "Let me make a long story short. The origin of the meal sharing system is not for hygiene, but for fairness. In ancient Europe, there was a widespread hunger problem for a long time, so the meal sharing was done for ration. We also used the meal sharing system in ancient times. In fact, the starting point is the same. Up to now, the meal-sharing system has the effect of hygiene, but it is not so absolute. For example, family dinners, the difference from us is the common tableware, for example, the hot dish of beef stew, you have to separate it. When it’s cold, the way is to use shared utensils to put it in the big bowl of beef stew. Whoever eats it will put it in his own bowl and put it back again. In fact, there is a difference."

"Let's talk about chopsticks and knives and forks." Wang Ai smiled: "This is related to the way we cook. Europe is used to cooking large chunks of ingredients directly, and then when you take them out to eat, you can't use chopsticks, you can't cut chopsticks. To open, you have to use a knife and fork. And we? We are used to cutting first, and then cooking, which saves fuel. When it is done, there is no need to cut it again. In fact, chopsticks are much more convenient than knives and forks. For example, when you eat hot pot, how do you eat it with a knife and fork? Chopsticks can hold it, but how about your knife and fork?"

Speaking of this, Wang Ai made a motion of holding a knife at the hot pot, and pierced it down: "You have to stab, the piece of meat is tumbling in the pot, you are easy to stab, then you can't stab you You have to poke back and forth, but it takes a long time. Your knife and fork are metal, are you still hot?"

Bai Yansong and Duan Xuan were amused by Wang Ai's vivid description, just like Wang Ai's family who were watching TV.

"Therefore, we must take a rational view of the cultural differences between our two sides, just like the social evaluations of both sides after I won the award."

"Then after you won the award, did Inter Milan arrange any celebrations for you?"

“It’s not too complicated. After receiving the award, I arranged a celebration ceremony and sent me a souvenir before the game on the next night. It’s not a long time. After all, it’s a personal award. In fact, it's fine." Wang Ai recalled: "If the team wins the championship, the scale will be much larger and the time will be much longer."

"How many championships have you won?" Bai Yansong suddenly asked: "A lot, right? What is the general process?"

"Uh..." Wang Ai looked up for five seconds, then lowered his head: "I can't remember how many champions, this has to be counted after the fact. Anyway, how many will be taken every year? The process is usually a float parade, the players are all in the open There are crowded fans above and below the bus, and then go to the club gate or stadium, or famous square, to talk about these things. The traditions of different places are slightly different, but generally it is this process. The bigger the club, the better Strictly, because I have done a lot, the smaller the club, the more free it is. For example, I won the championship in Deportivo, and a league championship celebrated for a week. That year, we celebrated the six championships for half a month."

"After you won the World Footballer, did you feel any changes on and off the field?"

"There should be, but I don't feel it clearly now."

"He should be short." Duan Xuan interjected.

Bai Yansong pushed down his glasses: "Then I ask, have you changed much since you won the Golden Globe last year?"

"Not small." Wang Ai nodded: "There are too many people on the field against you. There will definitely be people who are not convinced or want to beat you, but on the whole it is okay. There are almost no malicious fouls against you. There are no more legs or something. There are changes in life. For example, there are more businesses that want to work with you, and more fans who ask you for autographs and photos, but on the whole it's okay."

"Then do you think you have a great influence on Chinese society after winning the award?"

"It's also for a while. This thing of mine can inspire some confidence, but in the whole system of our rapidly changing China, it is insignificant."
