Chapter 338 Go to a place with many beauties
Xiao Peng said it very subtly: Take me to a place where there are many beautiful women.
Honestly, he was quite disappointed on the streets of Ukraine. Having just been to Belarus, he had high hopes for Ukraine and expected to see more beautiful women. But when he arrived, he found that there simply weren't as many beautiful women here as in Belarus. It wasn't that there weren't many beautiful women here, but rather that the proportion wasn't as high as in Belarus. Many people were just plain-looking.
If you think about it, it's understandable. The really beautiful Ukrainian girls all go to Western Europe, right?
You can see quite a few Chinese tourists here, and most of them are men.
Are they here for Ukrainian girls? I really don't know what they are thinking. Are they here just to throw money at them? How can they communicate with Ukrainian girls when they don't speak English or Russian?
Xiao Peng meant for Walter to take him to a place where there would be a lot of fun, but Walter took Xiao Peng to the Kiev Wharf next to the Dnieper River.
Xiao Peng and Walter were on the streets of Kiev, and he recalled his experience in Belarus.
When they were in Belarus, the girl's eyes were all on Hua Chong, but when they arrived in Kiev, the girl's eyes were all on Walter.
Because of the wide temperature swings in Kyiv, Xiao Peng wore a sweatshirt, casual pants, a backpack, and sunglasses and a baseball cap—the typical tourist outfit. Walter, on the other hand, wore a summer suit because he was carrying a gun. His tall, imposing blond Germanic appearance made him a "scented baby," attracting countless beautiful women who asked for cigarettes and chatted him up.
Xiao Peng remembered that those Germans who married Ukrainian wives he mentioned met each other in this way, right?
But this was a good thing, as it allowed Xiao Peng to calm down and observe the place. After all, Kiev was truly beautiful; it was a historic city after all. How wealthy was it back then? Upon independence, it was far wealthier than Poland, with a per capita GDP over five times that of China! And now? It's the complete opposite!
Xiao Peng knew why Walter asked him to come to the Kiev Wharf. He didn't come here to see the ships, but to see the beautiful women.
There are young people everywhere!
Xiao Peng couldn't understand why these young people liked the Kiev dock so much.
Ukraine is definitely not a country lacking in cultural life. It feels like people here would rather starve to death than not appreciate art!
If you go to China, the city center is usually the city hall. But here? The city center is the opera house. At least that's the case in Kyiv and Odessa. Just like the opera house in Odessa that Xiao Peng and Pascal visited, it's the very center of the city. The same is true in Kyiv!
The streets here are full of people playing musical instruments. There are all kinds of instruments: guitars, pianos, jimbai drums, saxophones, accordions... Xiao Peng even saw someone playing the erhu and suona! There's really nothing you can't do.
Suona?
Xiao Peng also became interested, but the guy's suona skills were a bit low, so Xiao Peng simply asked the guy for the suona and started playing it himself. After Xiao Peng had his fun playing, he discovered a serious problem: he was being watched!
What made Xiao Peng speechless the most was that while he was playing the suona, there was actually a man dancing ballet to the music.
Oh my god! Xiao Peng was playing "Wu Song Kills His Sister-in-law"! How tragic! What in your head could you possibly dance ballet to a suona lament?
After Xiao Peng finished playing, many people applauded and urged him to "play another song." Many people also put money in a box on the ground. What shocked Xiao Peng was that one person, the beggar who had just asked for money, put two yuan in the box. What a horrible thing!
But thanks to his suona playing, many people now greeted Xiao Peng enthusiastically. Ukrainians are not a warm-hearted people.
What is this? The magic of music?
But in such a country with rich cultural life, so many young people gather in the port of Kyiv and do nothing: skateboarding, roller skating, drinking and smoking together.
Walter sighed when he saw this scene, "Look at these young people, dressed up beautifully but lying around doing nothing. These people's children are all wasted. They are the 'lost generation'."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng shook his head: "Walter, do you know that I am disgusted by what you said?"
"Ah?" Walter looked at Xiao Peng: "Boss, why?"
Xiao Peng replied, "It's very simple. I used to be classified as part of the 'Beat Generation.' To be more precise, those born between the 1980s and 1995s in our country were called the 'Beat Generation,' 'the most irresponsible generation,' and 'the most selfish generation.' We all grew up with low self-esteem."
"What?" Walter's eyes widened. "Boss, China's rapid development in recent years relies on people of your age. Who is so stupid as to say that?"
"A guy named Sun Yunxiao was the editor-in-chief of Children's Research at the time. He was a typical 'Japan-praising' person, the kind that has been praising Japan for thirty years." Xiao Peng replied, "At that time, he published an article in the Huaxia Education News called "The Contest in Summer Camp". It was about students from two countries attending summer camp. He said that the Japanese children carried 20 kilograms of luggage and walked 100 kilometers, while the Chinese children were lazy and slacking off. People from all walks of life singled out and criticized the children of that time, saying that they were embarrassing. At that time, we heard every day that our children had 'no sense of dedication'. "We're impetuous," "we can't handle setbacks." How many times were we forced to write reviews about this unfortunate article back in school? Teachers and parents constantly used it to lecture us, and the media called us the 'Lost Generation' for a whole year! And now? They're trying to flatter us, saying our generation's excellence is due to their tireless teaching, their foresighted education! "Xiao Peng gritted his teeth when he mentioned this: "Now our generation has grown up and become the backbone of national development, and those who used to point fingers at us? They're out dancing in the square, disturbing the public!"
Walter blinked after hearing this: "Wait, you said it was a student summer camp? Teenagers walking a hundred kilometers with twenty kilograms of luggage?"
Xiao Peng smiled bitterly and said, "When our country's predecessors captured the Luding Bridge, they only ran 80 kilometers day and night. A group of teenagers carrying 20 kilograms of stuff ran 100 kilometers every day! It seems that this Sun Yunxiao encountered not Japanese students but a group of wild Ultramen! But to be honest, I admire that Sun Yunxiao. He still praises Japan to this day. He has persisted in doing so for 30 years. He is quite a talent!"
"Do you really admire him?" Walter asked.
"I admire someone who has been kneeling for so long that his knees are gone?" Xiao Peng sneered, "Pfft!"
