Everyone spent the first day of the trip feeling tired and happy.
The next morning, the friends got up very early.
Everyone was captivated by the sea before them. The ocean in the early morning was a captivating painting. When the first rays of sunlight touched the surface, the waves sparkled like countless diamonds gleaming with dazzling light. A gentle breeze blew, rippling the water like the gentle breath of the ocean.
A few people found some shells on the beach and washed them carefully. These shells of various shapes can be taken back as gifts for relatives and friends.
Next came the much-anticipated swimming time. Zhou Yang was the only one who could swim, and he prided himself on his swimming prowess, so he volunteered to coach everyone.
Everyone changed into their swimsuits. At first, everyone was a little shy, but when they saw that everyone on the beach was dressed like this, they soon relaxed. So they played on the beach and gradually dared to enter the sea. However, when they were at the beach, when the waves hit them, they heard a cry of surprise.

Learning to swim is just a pretext, playing in the water is the real purpose.
Just as everyone was having fun, a few foreign friends appeared. Their swimsuits were very avant-garde, making everyone present blush and their hearts beat fast, especially the men, who wanted to look but dared not. Yu Zihan was not surprised; they were just bikinis.
They are very close to foreign friends.
"Oh, damn it! How rude! You are polluting the environment." Suddenly, a poor Chinese voice came into everyone's ears.
Yu Zihan followed the voice and saw a blonde woman in a black bikini looking at Liu Ting and making gestures.
She sensed something was amiss and hurriedly looked towards Liu Ting, only to see her standing in the water in a light blue one-piece bubble swimsuit. She looked at the fussing woman in confusion.
Yu Zihan observed Liu Ting carefully and was shocked. There was a clear pool of blood on the back of Liu Ting's buttocks. Because her swimsuit was very light-colored, the blood was very obvious. Yu Zihan quickly walked behind Liu Ting and used her body to block her embarrassing part.
"Let's go upstairs." Yu Zihan whispered to Liu Ting.
"I haven't had enough fun yet, why are we leaving?" Liu Ting herself didn't realize what was happening. She felt that Yu Zihan's expression was a little strange, so she spoke loudly.
"You are such a selfish person. You pollute such pure sea water and still want to stay here?" The blonde woman's tone was full of accusation.
"Don't argue with these foolish people. They are not only foolish but also ignorant."
“There is no sanitary napkin in China.”
These people began to accuse and curse in Chinese and English.
They could have left quietly, and such an incident wouldn't have caused any consequences, not to mention that Liu Ting didn't do it on purpose. Could it be that these people were attacking a little girl and even her country just because of an unintentional act of hers?
"Aren't you a woman? Don't you have a special day? Your groundless accusations are unreasonable." Yu Zihan responded loudly in English.
"I am a woman, I also have special days, but I don't go to public places on days like this," the woman said arrogantly.
Liu Ting finally realized something after hearing the conversation between Yu Zihan and the woman. Pei Shuyan also noticed something was wrong. She naturally stood beside Liu Ting and said, "Let's leave here first."
"Hmph, a backward country, a backward people, a country that doesn't even have sanitary napkins." The woman's voice was loud and insulting. But what she said was the truth. Their country didn't have sanitary napkins, and even if they did, they weren't widely promoted.
"Just because we don't have it now doesn't mean we won't have it in the future. I despise you for insulting your same sex. No matter how rich you are, your words and deeds are disgusting." Faced with the contempt of these foreigners, Yu Zihan had an idea in her heart.
Yes, if you are weak, you will be bullied. Only the strong deserve dignity.
After saying this, Yu Zihan turned and left. She knew that she didn't have the confidence to argue with others now.
Back at the B&B, Liu Ting's eyes were red and swollen from crying. Today's events had dealt her a crushing blow. To put it bluntly, this had brought shame upon her abroad. It was understandable that she couldn't handle such a blow at such a young age.
"Don't be sad, we will surpass them one day, in every aspect." When Yu Zihan spoke, the determination in his eyes was clearly visible to everyone.
"That day won't be too far away." Several people showed determination on their faces.
Liu Ting also stopped crying, and a flame ignited in her heart.
After this incident, the enthusiasm of several people for sightseeing was dampened.
"Let's go back in the afternoon." Liu Ting looked at everyone with pleading eyes.
"Okay." Everyone said in unison.
They asked their boss about the return train schedule and decided to take the 4 pm train back to the capital.
Everyone ate in silence at noon, and the seafood no longer had the fresh taste we had expected.
In the afternoon, when they left the B&B, they met the group of foreigners again.
"There are no sanitary napkins in China." I heard their insulting words again.
Yu Zihan turned around and looked at them and said, "Yes, you will also have the opportunity to use sanitary napkins made in China." Her tone was firm, as if she was making an oath.
Everyone was in a heavy mood along the way. They were all passionate young people, and they couldn't accept the contempt they had experienced firsthand.
Yu Zihan looked at everyone and thought to herself, this is the meaning of traveling. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.
What you read in books is often influenced by the author's subjective opinions and is not 100% objective. However, when you are on the road, you see real things happening. It is the firsthand experience that has the greatest impact on you.
After returning home, Yu Zihan began to plan his next move.
In my previous life, I started my own business because I couldn’t survive. I had to first solve the problem of food and clothing, make money, and support myself.
In this life, my life has already gone ahead of most people, and I no longer need to earn money to survive. So I slack off.
Through the incident on the beach, Yu Zihan clarified his goal.
She still wanted to make money, but in this life, it was for a greater purpose. She wasn't that great, but when she was poor, she could take care of herself; when she was rich, she could help the world. She wanted to work hard, creating wealth while also doing something for more people. Especially for women. Life for women today is so hard and difficult.
