Chapter 556: Make a prompt decision
If you ask what type of rich second generation Xiao Peng hates the most, it must be someone like Alex.
Others would say that Alex, despite coming from such a privileged family, persisted in his dream, which was admirable. However, Xiao Peng saw a different explanation.
He's clearly a second-generation rich kid, enjoying the best resources and the best education since childhood, possessing far more than his peers, yet he keeps saying he "has to prove himself without relying on his family." Isn't this just "wanting to be something and establish something"?
Well, what Xiao Peng said was "act decisively". Civilized people don't use bad words.
To put it bluntly, I've lived a comfortable life for too long and I'm just looking for some excitement.
Alex enjoys being praised for "chasing his dream," but he doesn't realize that a reporter's annual salary isn't even enough to buy him a pair of glasses...
The usual way of playing can no longer give him the excitement. Now he can be either top or bottom, male or female...
It sounds disgusting, but for the sake of her "future", Zoya endured it. And that's how people are, they start to refuse, and once they give up, they start to enjoy it. She actually thinks this kind of life is not bad, being a "bitch" in front of Alex and being a "queen" in front of Kasim.
There are so many people like this now. How many women act like they are unloved and pitiful all day long, but in fact they have countless backups?
Of course, there are more men like this! The number of "Sea Kings" will always be greater than that of "bad women." Don't be fooled by men who make fun of women for being materialistic. In fact, men are more rational and will weigh the pros and cons when choosing a woman. They also want to be with a rich woman, but they just can't find one. So no one should laugh at anyone else. We are all the same.
Xiao Peng’s live broadcast was indeed shocking, but it also caused a huge response. Many people criticized Xiao Peng, saying that his behavior would lead to imitation.
But Xiao Peng has no legal responsibility. His livestream said: "The risk is too great, please do not imitate." If you insist on imitating, who can you blame? Even if he really fed the great white shark, the shark wasn't raised by Xiao Peng...
Besides, how much do Chinese people value their lives? Those who dare to challenge such behavior are foreigners, and they cannot be persuaded!
This is quite interesting. Are foreigners smart? Really! How many scientists have changed the world? But they also do a lot of stupid things that baffle Chinese people, and their bizarre statements have a ton of fans.
For example, the famous 'anti-vaccine movement' is the best example.
In ancient history, diseases like smallpox and measles were considered the most dreaded. There was a saying in ancient China that a child hadn't truly survived a disease without experiencing a case of shazi. The "shazi" here refers to smallpox and measles. Although some symptoms are similar, they are not the same disease.
Those who don't know how terrible measles is can ask their elders: In 1959, a measles outbreak hit China, with nearly 10 million people infected and nearly 300,000 people dying from the epidemic!
So why are these common diseases now virtually extinct? Everyone knows vaccines are responsible for this, but in the Western world, there's a large anti-vaccine movement. They claim vaccines are a scam perpetrated by pharmaceutical companies to profit, or even more dramatically, a government conspiracy to control humanity.
Anyway, in the eyes of conspiracy theorists, this world is a very strange thing.
Actually, this "anti-vaccine" trend has only been around for a short time.
In 1998, a British doctor named Andrew Wakefield published an article in the famous medical journal "The Lancet", saying that the MMR vaccine, also known as the measles, mumps, and rubella triple vaccine, can cause intestinal inflammation and thus lead to autism.
Does this article make sense? It does make some sense, because the MMR vaccine at the time contained thimerosal, a neurotoxin. He believes that this thimerosal damages the nervous system in children and causes autism.
However, this statement is not rigorous, and there is no evidence to prove a direct link between the two. However, since the first MMR vaccine is given around one year old, and autism symptoms appear between one and three years old, this coincidence has made the MMR vaccine a scapegoat, and a trend of vaccine boycotts has emerged.
In fact, a year later, the article was withdrawn by The Lancet, and the British Medical Council also ruled that Andrew had engaged in unethical academic conduct in this academic research. However, the result was that countless people stood in the "anti-vaccine" camp.
Many people don't know why the "anti-vaccine" sentiment first emerged, it was simply "anti for the sake of being against it."
There was a very funny thing happening in the United States. In March 2019, a chickenpox outbreak occurred in a school in Kentucky, and 32 students were infected. In order to control the spread of the epidemic, the local health department asked students who had not received the chickenpox vaccine to stay at home.
In the eyes of normal people, this seems like the right thing to do, right? As a result, the parents of one student who was kept home directly sued the local health department, stating, "My family is devoutly Christian, and the fact that vaccines are made from aborted embryonic cells violates our Catholic anti-abortion values. That's why we don't vaccinate our child. Now, my child is being discriminated against by being kept home."
Although many girls are having abortions now, how many embryos are needed to produce so many vaccines? However, this kind of anti-intellectualism really has supporters, and there are even quite a lot of them!
Isn't it terrifying that the flu kills scores of Americans every year? Only about 30% of Americans over 18 get the flu vaccine. How can the flu be anything but terrifying? Let's not even talk about the US, let's look at Europe, where over 40% of children are unvaccinated. Last year, there were over 3,000 measles cases in France alone.
Even in the streets of Paris, a group of people holding flags and shouting slogans marched to protest the government's requirement for children to be vaccinated...
Anyway, the longer Xiao Peng stayed in Europe, the more confused he became. This alone explains why Chinese people have such difficulty integrating into the West: the cultural gap is simply too vast! Wasn't Newton quite amazing? He studied optics, mechanics, astronomy, and so on, but in his later years, he became absorbed in theology and alchemy.
I can't understand...
This trend has also spread to China. On the Chinese Internet, there are "anti-vaccine groups" where a group of people desperately promote the dangers of vaccines, and their reason is justified: Look at what developed countries do...
A brain is indeed a good thing, but it requires talent!
Of course, this kind of mentality is absolutely unpopular in China: You don’t get vaccinated? Your children can’t go to school, it’s up to you!
However, because of this, China once got into some trouble.
