Essays about local customs and customs

<> Before going abroad, I heard many people say that in foreign countries, the relationship between people is indifferent and it is impossible to have any deeper interactions with each other.

Some are just about money.

Therefore, we cannot expect anyone abroad to help each other like us Chinese.

I came to Canada with this concept in mind.

However, in just a few dozen days, several small things happened one after another that shook my mind.

One day, I took the Toronto subway for the first time. I couldn't figure out the direction of the train. When I was looking at the map confusedly, a foreigner next to me came over and asked: Do you need help?

I informed him of the location and he not only pointed out on the map where I wanted to go, but also took me all the way to the platform.

I thought that in China, when asking for directions, I had to find someone who looked honest, otherwise it would be impossible for me to be directed to Java.

Before I could sing the Internationale, friends came to help me.

If I sing the Internationale, I'm afraid I will have more friends in the world.

In the subway, a child rushed into the car just as the door was about to close. The door suddenly closed, trapping the child's arm.

In an instant, several foreigners in the car rushed to the car door at the same time, trying to open the door with all their hands.

At this time, there were many yellow-skinned Chinese people in the carriage. They showed no reaction at all and seemed to be watching a movie that had nothing to do with them.

What's even more irritating is that I suddenly heard a Cantonese saying: "The door won't close, so why panic?" In fact, the subway doors are like elevator doors, they will automatically open if there are obstacles, so there is no need to worry.

Not only Chinese people know this, but everyone knows it, but out of instinct, foreigners will grab it at the same time.

But the Chinese people who claim to help each other not only show no care, but also make some sarcastic remarks, as if they have seen the big world and have made it through the big docks.

It seems that the ancestral motto of a gentleman speaking but not taking action has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Chinese people.

Of course, this kind of thing is common in China and is not worth making a fuss about.

Canada is a country of immigrants, and its history and reality are related to the exchange and migration of immigrants.

It should be said that due to this flow of immigrants, Canada is full of vitality and vitality, and it has also made Canada one of the developed countries.

It is precisely because of this characteristic of Canada that the large gathering of various ethnic groups has formed a convergence of character traits with various ethnic characteristics.

The openness of America, the reserve of Europe, the roughness of Africa and the vulgarity of Asia are all vividly displayed in Canada.

In human nature, the directness of America, the euphemism of Europe, the wildness of Africa and the hypocrisy of Asia are also competing in Canada.

While joking with local foreigners, I actually heard a very unpleasant enumeration: There are four most unpopular people in Canada: blacks, Indians and Pakistanis, Vietnamese and Chinese.

Among them, Asians account for three.

Several newly acquainted foreigners told me earnestly and sincerely that they were unwilling to have more dealings with Chinese people because “Chinese people are not trustworthy” and “deceive people.”

It goes without saying that the blacks are tough and rough; the Indians and Pakistanis are mysterious and cunning; the Vietnamese have long been despised by the world for their banditry and piracy; but how did the Chinese offend these foreigners?

Perhaps this is discrimination by white people.

<<[Prose] Changbai Mountain Tianchi>> "China National Geography" is a landscape beauty pageant.

Mountains, mountains, rivers and rivers cannot be described in one or two sentences. The magazine used to have 148 pages, but it has been increased to 550 pages in the 10th issue in 2005.

Thanks to China National Geographic, adding pages does not increase the price, it is still 16 yuan.

The magazine sold out soon after it came out. Beijing was one of the earliest cities in the country to sell out. It is said that it has sold for more than 80 yuan online. Many readers were angry that they could not buy the magazine. China National Geographic issued a general complaint on its website forum.

The top post is titled "I hope everyone can calm down."

"China National Geographic" lists fifteen groups of "China's most beautiful", in order of ranking: China's top ten most beautiful mountains, China's five most beautiful lakes, China's five most beautiful deserts, China's three most beautiful Yadan, China's most beautiful

Five major urban areas, China's top ten most beautiful canyons, China's six most beautiful tourist caves, China's eight most beautiful coasts, China's six most beautiful waterfalls, China's six most beautiful glaciers, China's top ten most beautiful forests, China's top ten most beautiful

Islands, the six most beautiful swamps and wetlands in China, the six most beautiful ancient rural towns in China and the six most beautiful grasslands in China.

The reason why I want to copy down this ranking list is that for some unknown reason, there is no Jiang He on the ranking list.

Maybe with canyons, there is no need to talk about rivers.

In some years, only the Brahmaputra River may have been relatively clean. Perhaps the river can only be viewed in sections like canyons. It is hard to say as a whole.

In this selection, in terms of the most beautiful mountains, Changbai Mountain in Northeast China was shortlisted, but it failed to enter the top ten most beautiful mountains.

Changbai Mountain did not enter the top ten most beautiful mountains, but Changbai Mountain Tianchi entered the five most beautiful lakes, which is gratifying.

Changbai Mountain was not selected, but Changbai Mountain Tianchi is at the highest point of Changbai Mountain. No one can move it to the flat ground. If you want to see Tianchi, you have to go up to Changbai Mountain.
