Chapter 242

However, with the appearance of Chinese people, she does not necessarily have a sense of identity with Chinese culture. Qin Yi is very clear that she is ABC like Zhao Lingnan, but because of her mother and guardian, she is very close to Chinese culture, which is not a very pure ABC. However, Zhao Lingnan is not the same. Her sense of identity to Chinese culture is not so high.

Zhao Nanyi could not find a person to talk to for more than an hour. In fact, she could not find a person to talk to for more than an hour.

"Good day." A young man's voice suddenly rang out.

Qin Yi looks up and a young German man is looking at himself. His facial features are as solid as sculpture, and his eyes are clear and green. When he looks at people, he is very gentle and affectionate, making people feel that you are all in his eyes.

Good day, sir Qin Yi replied in German.

"That's Abigail."

Abigail is Zhao Lingnan's English name. Qin Yi seems to know Zhao Lingnan by his tone and asks, "do you know her?"

"A lot of people here know her." The man looked at her with green eyes, "why don't you go up and say hello? You seem to have been watching her for a long time

Qin Yi didn't expect that someone would notice her, but she didn't care. It was originally a social occasion. It's not strange to pay attention to another person. She gave a faint smile: "I'm just curious. Abigail doesn't seem to like contacting other people. I don't want to be too bold."

"Abigail is really special. I can introduce you to her, but you must give me a reasonable reason."

"For example?"

"Who are you, for example?"

Qin Yi's heart leaped. Did he know his identity, but on second thought, he thought it was impossible. The identity of her coming to the exhibition was given by the Military Ministry, that is to say, the identity is true, and the invitation is also true, but she is not herself.

"Shouldn't a gentleman introduce himself before asking for someone's name?"

The man showed his hand, "a gentleman is an Englishman's boast, but I'm a German."

Qin Yi blinked, "well, give you a chance to guess who I am."

The man was interested: "listen to your tone, the question seems very simple, but I can't tell the difference between Asian and ethnic groups. Can you tell where I come from? "

"You are a typical Germanic look."

"Oh? Do you know who that gentleman is? "

Qin Yi looked in the direction he pointed to. He saw a middle-aged gentleman standing beside Zhao Lingnan and whispering something. His hair was curly, his eye socket was deep, his cheekbones were low, his jaw bone was flat, his nose was tall, his lips were thin, his skin was very white, and he was a typical Caucasian.

"That gentleman should be English." She said.

"And the lady next to him?"

"It should be German like you."

"What about Abigail?"

Qin Yi looked at Zhao Lingnan. Zhao Lingnan is just looking good. Their eyes are on the right side.

"Abigail is of pure Chinese descent." Qin Yi concluded.

The man narrowed his eyes and saw Zhao Lingnan paying attention to this side. He simply waved to Zhao Lingnan with a smile, "Abigail."

Zhao Lingnan frowned, or walked over.

She looked down at the two men in front of her and said in fluent German, "what's the matter?"

"There is a magical lady here who says you are a pure Chinese."

As soon as the man's words were said, Zhao Lingnan's face became very ugly. A sneer appeared on his lips, and his cold piercing eyes looked at Qin Yi, "who do you think is Chinese?"

Qin Yi was not sure whether the German was intentional, but Zhao Lingnan came here, which was not a bad thing. She looked at Zhao Lingnan and said in German, "I'm sorry, Ms. Zhao, I didn't mean to offend you by saying that, but I guess your blood system from your appearance. There's no other meaning."

Zhao Lingnan's heart was suddenly touched by something.

She never knew who her mother was, and her father never mentioned it. She had inquired secretly, but she did not find any clues. Her father never seemed to have an emotional life. She even suspected that she was a surrogate.

"How do you judge that I am pure Chinese?"

Qin Yi looked at her and said with a smile, "China's territory is very large, and there are obvious regional characteristics. However, most of the hair is straight, and the eye color is dark brown. Most people's eyes are Danfeng eyes; the nose is of equal width, and the bridge of the nose is medium high or tends to be flat; the cheekbones are more prominent and the face is relatively flat; the whole mouth is not protruding forward, and the lips are not thick or thin. ——Ms. Zhao, you are very much in line with the appearance of Chinese people. "

"Not all yellow people look like this?"

Qin Yi eyebrows slightly frown, "yellow people? No, the Chinese are not yellow. In fact, many Chinese are whiter than Europeans. "Zhao Lingnan sneered, "is it Chinese or white?"

"Chinese people are not white people either. I just want to say that the yellow race is not suitable for Chinese people, which was used in Europe as a scornful term for Chinese people."

The division of "red, white, black and yellow" was made by Europeans.

In Europe, white represents the nobility of Spring Festival, while black is the opposite. So Europeans classify themselves as white, Africans as black, and East Asians between Europe and Africa are classified as yellow. Yellow represents melancholy, greed and morbid.

So yellow people are not a good name.

Other people heard her saying and looked at her one after another. Zhao Lingnan's face was even worse. "Why do Chinese people always call themselves yellow people? They don't reject it themselves. Isn't it superfluous for you to entangle this issue here? "

Qin Yi said calmly: "because yellow represents nobility in the eyes of Chinese people. In feudal China, only the royal family could use yellow, which is totally different from the moral meaning in European eyes. If people are divided according to their skin color, except for Nordic people, the skin color of other European people is not very different from that of Chinese people, even deeper than that of Chinese people. ——Therefore, I am not in favor of using the term "yellow race" for Chinese people

The guests who followed Zhao Lingnan and heard her words were silent for a time.

All of them were elitist educated people who could understand the meaning of her words. The racial division of "red, white, black and yellow" is indeed discriminatory. In European mainstream classics, the term "yellow people" has gradually disappeared.

This is the progress of civilization and the impact of the rise of once weak countries.

The most obvious is China.

Once humiliated by the war, once the country broke mountains and rivers, and had been sleeping for hundreds of years, the Oriental lion has opened its eyes and began to recover its original status.
