Chapter 678 Weird TV Station
Xiao Peng looked at the group of people coming in, confused. The woman walking in front of him raised the microphone directly in front of Xiao Peng: "Hello, sir! I am Kate Honeywell, the host of Britain's Channel 4! I would like to interview you!"
"Interview me?" Xiao Peng's first reaction was that he'd been recognized. These British were so impressive! Reporters were here just after I arrived in England? How had they recognized him? Was it because of what happened in the tunnel last night? Didn't Yu Beier warn against leaking this information?
UK Channel 4, this is a troubled place.
This TV station specializes in non-mainstream programs catering to ethnic minorities and is accustomed to taking unconventional approaches. For Chinese people, their most impressive program is "The Naked Dating Show."
That's right, this show is about everyone getting naked and going on a blind date. Each episode features six men and women. At the beginning, everyone strips naked and stands in a single polished glass cabinet to chat and date. As the conversation continues, the glass on the front of the cabinet slowly rises from the bottom...
People say that when people meet for the first time, their clothes, makeup, and hairstyle will affect the relationship between them. But our show doesn't have that much of an impact; everyone is just so 'frank'.
Xiao Peng pondered for a long time before he understood what the program team meant: So this program is telling everyone: nothing else matters, only the size below is the most important?
While he was still standing there in bewilderment, the female host, Kate, explained, "We're filming a street test for a program. Yesterday, we had Miana—this lovely little girl—dressed up beautifully and stood on the street. It wasn't long before many people came forward to help her. And today, we had her dressed up like this, and as you can see, she's shivering in the cold, and no one's doing anything for her. You're the first person to lend a hand to her today."
Xiao Peng stood there in a daze. After a while, he came to his senses. It turned out that the person was not getting to know him but was making a show, and the content was so weird at that.
Very good, this is very British Channel 4.
There was once a program on British Channel 4 that made Xiao Peng laugh so hard.
They went to Switzerland, the most "friendly" country in Europe, to conduct street interviews and ask Swiss people what they think about refugees.
Everyone interviewed said: "Refugees are so pitiful, we must lend them a helping hand! This is what all human beings must do!" They all spoke with awe and righteousness.
The reporter from British Channel 4 asked them again: If there were refugees who needed your help, would you lend a hand? All the Swiss interviewed nodded without hesitation: Of course, we are Swiss, we will never stand idly by in such a situation, we will definitely do our best to help those refugees.
The climax is here: British Channel 4 directly found an actor who looks like a Middle Easterner and stood up: Very good, since you like to help refugees so much, there is a Middle Eastern refugee here who needs help, take him home!
All the Swiss people interviewed refused without exception. One male interviewee made Xiao Peng laugh: "We are Swiss. Talking without doing is our specialty! Don't you even understand this?"
I guess the reporter from British Channel 4 came to do this program just for this sentence...
Actually, Switzerland is a bit unfair to say this: Switzerland has always touted itself as a "human rights champion" and a "safe haven," offering countless helping hands, from the Vietnamese refugees of the 1980s to the Eastern European refugees of the Kosovo War. Yet, these refugees, including the second and third generations of refugees, remain in Switzerland, consuming significant financial resources and causing numerous social problems. Furthermore, given the recent global economic downturn, Switzerland, sensing the lack of surplus food, has begun tightening its refugee policy and desperately dumping refugees onto EU countries like the UK, France, and Germany.
The British Channel 4 was probably so angry that they made a program to criticize the Swiss. In fact, the program was very effective, making Switzerland look bad, and quickly accepted some refugees back home to stop people from talking nonsense.
This time, British Channel 4 is not messing with the Swiss but is starting to mess with its own people?
He looked at the waitress who had just lashed out with sympathy: "Big sister, congratulations! You're going to be famous!"
"You can't take pictures of me!" The waiter also knew something was wrong: "There's a misunderstanding here."
Why is there such a disturbing show? It's fine if they saw the little girl but didn't offer a helping hand, but they're actually kicking her out. If this were on TV, she'd be socially devastated! The saliva alone would drown her.
But the host, Kate, said, "Excuse me, ma'am. Our show uses a live online discussion format. This means your actions have been seen by everyone. Of course, we've censored your content."
The waitress was shocked. This was a livestream? And there was even an online discussion section? How could such a ridiculous show exist? She couldn't stay here any longer. She quickly fled to the kitchen to avoid the cameras.
Kate ignored him and took the microphone to ask Xiao Peng, "My friend, you have shown us your kindness. I wonder where you are from? Japan or Korea?"
Xiao Peng frowned slightly. "What a disgusting question you asked! You are Korean! You are Japanese!"
"I'm from China." Xiao Peng explained lightly.
"Oh?" Kate was stunned after hearing this. She looked Xiao Peng up and down, then turned to the screen and said, "As everyone has seen, the Chinese also have kind hearts!"
Xiao Peng felt disgusted after hearing this: "What do you mean? What do you mean by 'also has a kind heart'? Are you saying that it's strange for us Chinese to be kind?"
Kate said, "No, no, no, you misunderstood us. We all know that the Chinese people live in difficult conditions. It is truly commendable that you can lend a helping hand in such a situation!"
Xiao Peng shook his head after hearing this. This was a common problem with the British media: that pervasive sense of superiority and their willingness to disparage China at every opportunity. Wasting time arguing with people like them was truly a waste of time. He looked out the window. Why hadn't Kasin returned yet?
Seeing Xiao Peng remained silent, Kate pressed on, "Sir, we were actually quite worried at first, fearing you might be helping this girl for ulterior motives. But then your companions went to the police, and that reassured us! So, sir, could you explain why you helped this girl?"
"An ulterior motive?" Xiao Peng was completely furious. "Madam, please be mindful of your words."
