When Chen Bei and his friends first arrived here, they saw a foreign girl holding a guitar and singing revolutionary songs to the elderly.
To be honest, this scene is as awkward as it can be.
Can you imagine a blonde girl playing the guitar and singing "The Sun Sets in the West and the Clouds Fly"?
This scene stunned Chen Bei and the others at the time. What kind of monster is this!
Chen Yu and others were shocked by the girl's actions, while Chen Bei was shocked by her appearance.
This slightly plump girl in front of me looks like the famous British singer Adele!
A girl like this actually appeared in a nursing home in Yuntai City, China, and was chatting and laughing with the old men and women. Is there something wrong with the world line?
Chen Bei grabbed a staff member and asked for some information about the girl.
This inquiry made Chen Bei even more surprised.
The girl in front of me is called Adai, and she is also a gay.
This is not her first time to come to the nursing home. In fact, she has come here once a week for the past three years.
After arriving, they either help with cleaning, chat with the elderly, and sing for them.
The old men and women in the nursing home all like this girl very much and treat her like their own granddaughter.
The staff also said that the girl has donated a lot of money to the nursing home in the past three years, and the frequency of her donations is consistent with the frequency of her salary payments.
Chen Beiren was stunned when he heard this. A girl from the UK came all the way to China just to show her love in a nursing home?
What kind of spirit is this? It's so noble that it's blinding!
If this girl really has no dirty intentions, then it is really admirable.
We have to go up and talk about this!
So after Ada put away her guitar and made way, Chen Bei came over.
The two sides briefly greeted each other and introduced themselves before Chen Bei asked curiously:
"What made you want to come to China?"
"I was in a serious car accident a few years ago, and the nerves in both legs were severely damaged. Western medicine at the time concluded that I would never be able to stand up again. By chance, I learned that acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine might be helpful, so I came here to seek treatment."
As she spoke, Adai turned around generously and said:
"Look, I'm fat now, right? It's because I used a lot of hormones when I was receiving treatment in the West. Actually, I used to be very thin and beautiful."
"I don't think being fat or thin is the standard for measuring a girl's beauty. In my opinion, you are just as dazzlingly beautiful as you are now."
Chen Bei praised him so bluntly, and then continued to ask:
"Then why did you want to come to the nursing home to volunteer?"
Perhaps it had been a long time since Adai had been praised for her beauty by her peers. The smile on her face became even brighter, and she was in a good mood. She said:
"Because during the time I was receiving treatment in Huaxia, I was taken care of by many gentle and kind Chinese people. One of the elderly people lived here after being discharged from the hospital."
"After I got better, I would come over to see her often. Over time, I got used to coming here to help."
"Maybe it's because I'm so far away from home, but after coming here and looking at these grandparents, I feel like I'm back home."
Chen Bei nodded, thinking to himself, could this be considered a two-way effort and achievement?
"By the way, your Chinese is really good. Did you learn it in the past three years, or did you learn it a long time ago?"
"Before coming to China, I learned some simple communication skills. After arriving in China, I began to systematically learn your language and culture."
"I really love your Chinese culture. Your five thousand years of culture is so brilliant that even if I spend my entire life, I probably won't be able to fully understand it."
"Especially your Chinese poetry, it's truly beautiful. There's no other language in the world that can compare to the Chinese language."
"You are good at using very short sentences to depict the most beautiful pictures. Some of your sentences are so beautiful that I don't know how to translate them."
"Because I feel that if the translation is not good, it would be a blasphemy to these poems."
A foreign scholar once said that China is actually a civilization disguised as a country.
This is very obvious in cultural identity.
Why are foreigners who can speak Chinese more likely to gain the favor of Chinese people? This is actually a manifestation of cultural identity.
As Chinese civilization has developed to this point, bloodline is no longer used to define one’s own people. What people look at now is cultural identity.
If you identify with Chinese culture and civilization, then we are one family.
On the contrary, even if you have black hair and yellow skin, but you speak in bird language and keep praising the advantages of other civilizations, you will definitely not be recognized.
This cultural identity has both good and bad sides.
It can make our culture more inclusive and more vital!
The best proof is that over the past few thousand years, we have outlasted one other civilization and competitor after another.
As for the disadvantages, it is that it is easier to cause trouble.
It cannot be said that it is a bad thing to show kindness to others too easily. Chen Bei can only say that we should be careful in distinguishing.
For example, the girl in front of you really likes Chinese culture and is willing to live and contribute to this land.
Even Ada herself said:
“I love this land so much that I even feel like I must have lived here in a previous life.”
"I like the lifestyle here, the climate, the food, and the way people get along with each other."
