Chapter 1975 There Are Different Roads

There is a TV series "The Debt" that Yin Jun watched with emotion, and there is a line in the theme song.

"Shanghai and Shanghai are so big, does it even have a home for me?"

This sentence is applicable to every Chinese wandering in a foreign land.

Even if you immigrate, even change your nationality, or you are buried in a foreign country, deep down in your heart, it is not your home.

Your home should have all your familiar relatives, friends, classmates, neighbors, familiar streets and shops, as well as the land where all your ancestors are buried. This is your home.

In the past, everyone who was forced to go out to seek a living, whether in other provinces or foreign countries, would grab a handful of loess in their hometown, keep it next to them when they were alive, and sprinkle it around the coffin when they died, which is equivalent to My soul has its way back.

"Chinese People in New York" tells the story of people wandering in a foreign land.

I don’t know how many people who went abroad burst into tears after watching this TV series.

But they are all beautified versions. If we were to film the real life of Chinese people living in the United States, it would definitely be ten times miserable.

Just like what this man said, you can definitely make money, but the pain, both mental and physical, is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Yin Jun also sighed slightly.

Can you say they didn't do it right?

From a practical perspective, certainly not.

Because life in China is too hard now, with no hope and no money to make, and the various demands of life force them to come abroad in order to work hard for a future.

But is it paradise abroad?

wrong.

There are also a lot of poor people abroad. Rich people can only be those who have skills, abilities and opportunities.

Foreigners like them, to put it bluntly, you don’t know English, and you can’t do well in any job they give you, so how can you expect to climb up the ladder?

So only the hardest and most tiring work can give them a chance.

Poor these people, before coming to the United States, they were not ordinary people in the country - ordinary people can't even get a passport, let alone raise the money for travel.

But when I came to the United States, I was no different from the coolies in the old society, only a little better than beggars.

You said that living such a life, do they feel bitter and regret it?

For sure!

But they refused to go back.

They have given up everything in the country. It is impossible for them to go back before they get ahead or save enough money.

Otherwise, not only will you be embarrassed, but your family will also be laughed at.

Even if they are living like a dog now, at least their relatives and friends in China don't know about it and they think they are living a leisurely life earning US dollars here.

This is enough to satisfy their humble vanity.

There was once a very famous joke on the Internet.

It’s about a group of people who live abroad. They work hard all day long and save money to live. With the money they save, before returning to their country, they go to discount stores like outlets and buy a lot. Stack up discounted and out-of-season products and give them back to relatives and friends to show that you are living a good life in the United States.

Although this joke is a bit biased, Yin Jun knows that for most ordinary Chinese working and living abroad, this is really the case.

Not all people like the man in front of me, who desperately insist on saving and want to make more money.

There are many people who live such a hard life here, either giving up on themselves and becoming complete beggars, or joining clubs and going completely crazy.

This situation will continue for many, many more years, and there will still be groups of people, embracing the American dream, coming to the United States to repeat such days.

At least until after 2010, when the U.S. economy continues to decline and life in China continues to get better and better, people will no longer regard studying abroad and making money as their first goal, and more people will be willing to study immediately after finishing their studies. Return home.

Thinking of these, Yin Jun felt a little melancholy on his way back.

The young man did not give this man money or anything like that. He is a worker, not a beggar. If you give him money, you are insulting him.

Yin Jun simply couldn't give this kind of person who was struggling alone in a foreign land what he needed.

The path must be chosen by themselves. Whether they regret it or not, whether they are happy or not is their responsibility. No one else can say anything.

But in the past ten years or so, most of the people who have come out are elites in the country and leaders in the industry.

Obviously they can contribute more domestically, make the entire economy develop better and faster, and create more and better things, but because of the pressure of life, they have to abandon all their pride and achievements. , and all the skills you are good at, go to the United States to do those hard work.

From their personal standpoint, you can't say that they are wrong in working hard for a better life.

But I still feel a little anxious in my heart.

It’s still the fault of being too poor!

Ye Linqinwa saw Yin Jun's depression and melancholy. She was smart and whispered on the road: "Actually, we Czechoslovaks are the same. Some people often escape to places like Germany and France to work. In fact, they just do hard work. Son, women have to work so hard... Poor countries and poor people just have no choice!"

Yin Jun also thought of Hajiekova at this time, "That's right. Last time, your sister was almost forced to defraud people of their money. Although it is your territory, if you encounter it a few times more, you will encounter difficulties. It’s easy to mess with someone, and your sister is the victim.”

Ye Linqinwa paused slightly.

She knew it wasn't that simple.

Hatekova was basically forced to sell for money. As long as she could afford the price, she would be someone else's.

But Hatekova was stubborn. When she was forced to come out for the first time, she was ready to run away after getting the money.

She was also lucky enough to meet Yin Jun.

As for the group of people who forced her, after Yin Jun greeted them, their hands and feet were broken and thrown into the farmland in the suburbs.

Fifty-three people in total.

They didn't dare to have any intention of revenge. Firstly, they were all beaten to a disability, and secondly, the person who beat them was too powerful. If they didn't want to die miserably, they should forget their own misery and keep their tail between their legs.

Thinking of this, Ye Linqinwa's heart felt warm, "Master Jun...why didn't you help him just now, or rather, help your compatriots?"

Yin Jun sighed.

After a moment, he said, "They came out for their own livelihood. I still admire this fighting spirit... But compared to those people who knew that the conditions were difficult but stayed in the country to contribute, their What does the hard life mean? After working hard for three to five years, you can buy a house and start a small business when you go back, and your life will get better.

But what about those who remain in the country? Especially those who have the ability to come out. Maybe there will be no reward for a lifetime of hard work, maybe their children will endure hardships like themselves, but they still work so hard. Even if it only allows this poor and weak country to have a little improvement, they will do it seriously without any slack. "

At this time, Yin Jun thought of the scientists who returned to China one after another in the 1950s.

Regardless of the high salaries abroad, they had to do the most dangerous things when they returned home, and they could only have enough food to eat, but they came back without hesitation. After working so hard for several years, they finally developed a super weapon , so that the polar bear who clamored to turn Huajing into a no-man's land, kept silent from now on.

Compared with his respect for those scientists, although Yin Jun sympathizes with the group of people struggling to make a living in the United States, it is absolutely impossible to help them solve their lives here.

You choose your own path, and you don’t have to think about how hard it is, but you feel like the whole world owes you something.

Even though they are working very hard now, some people really work hard to get ahead, and they can make a name for themselves and gain both fame and fortune.

Of course, these people are definitely only a very small minority among a very small minority. There is no doubt that most people earn their hard money in North America by working hard.

Like Lizhi's cousin Li Weidong, they felt that coming to the United States to wash dishes was a blessing.

In the small county town where Yin Jun Orphanage is located, the TV station had a very beautiful female host. As a result, she happily came to the United States to wash dishes with her husband.

Thinking back on these past events and the past, Yin Jun's eyes began to clear up.

In order for people not to have to work so hard in the future, and in order to make my motherland more cohesive and become a rare and good place in the world, I should work harder.

"When "Forrest Gump" is finished filming, I will be ready to have a good career for a few years." Yin Jun suddenly said this when he was about to reach the door of the hotel.

"Can't it be like now?" Ye Linqinwa was a little surprised. She knew how much Yin Jun loved the film industry.

"People are not gods, and being distracted will definitely not have good results." Yin Jun said, "If I want everyone to stop yearning for foreign countries and live happily at home, then I have to work harder to change the current situation. .”

Ye Linqinwa was not surprised when she heard this.

It's just that she thinks Yin Jun's dream is too big.

China is not like Czechoslovakia, but a superpower with a land area of ​​nearly 10 million square kilometers and a population of more than 13.

It is simply impossible for one person to change so much under normal circumstances.

But if it was the young man in front of him, then it was really possible.

Because he is the smartest genius!

Thinking of this, Ye Linqinwa smiled and tapped her powder, "I will work hard and follow you to help you!"

Some people are obviously very smart and have good conditions to live a carefree life, but they still have to do that kind of hard work, even if it costs a lot of time and money.

But the mind of such a person is so fascinating.

Compared with those celebrities and idols, people like Jun Shao are the most worthy of love! !
