C1918

"It's easy to go from thrifty to extravagant, but it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality." Xiao Peng sighed.

I'm used to flying first class. I can't sleep well in economy class. But this flight is full again, want to upgrade have no chance - who let themselves in a hurry.

He got up and wanted to go to the bathroom to wash his face, but his seat was by the window, next to two young girls. Now he sleeps like a pig at night. He can't jump over two people and go to the bathroom?

Well, look at the books.

As a result, he had just turned on the night light, but a girl next to him took off his face mask Xiao Peng.

Xiao Peng quickly apologized: "sorry, you have a rest."

The girl shook her head when she heard Xiao Peng's words: "it doesn't matter. I just can't sleep." He said, "Maria, Kelly, thank you for your name. Just call me Mary. My friends call me that

Xiao Peng shook hands with her: "my name is Xiao Peng. I can understand your friend's feelings. If you call me Maria, she always feels that she is chatting with God's mother."

Maria Kelly laughed, and later found that it was the night everyone was resting. She quickly covered her mouth: "sorry, you are a humorous person, are you Chinese or Chinese?"

"What's the difference?" Xiao Peng asked curiously

"Of course Maria nodded: "because we have never been to China, so we asked a lot of people to consult before we went. As a result, those we asked were of Chinese origin. They didn't know China at all, and even their Chinese language was not as good as mine."

Xiao Peng laughed: "well, you don't have to worry. I'm from China. Do you still speak Chinese? "

"Have you eaten the clay monkey?" Said Maria.

"Well, first of all, it's" Hello, "not" clay monkey. "In addition," have you eaten? "It's a greeting from people familiar with China, and mostly from the north. This is also regional. " Xiao Peng explained to her the problems in her speech.

Maria laughed and said, "great, you are really Chinese. I can consult you if you have any questions. I don't want to disturb you? "

"Of course it won't disturb me, but let's keep our voices down. Now that everyone is resting, it's better not to disturb others. What do you do in China? Studying abroad? " Xiao Peng asked.

Maria sighed: "my father is a priest. He has always said that Huaxia is a place without faith, but he is not in good health, so let me fulfill his wish to preach in China and let more people believe in God."

Xiao Peng laughed: "believe in God? If so, that would be great. "

Maria said, "do you support me to do this?"

Xiao Peng shook his finger: "the word" God "first appeared in an ancient Chinese book called Shangshu, which refers to the Supreme God in our native Taoism in China. Shangshu appeared in the fifth century BC and Christianity appeared in the first century AD. You want them to believe in God? Isn't that the spread of Taoism? "

"No, no, no, no, no, my father is a Protestant priest, and he wants me to spread Protestantism," she said

Xiao Peng said with a smile, "of course, otherwise, how could you be?"

The same is true of the Western belief system. "Priest" is the name of Protestant and can be married; the "priest" of Tiangong church can not marry; while the white priest of "Donggong church" can marry before the Jin priest (PS1), but the shepherd can only be selected from single people.

(a priest, equivalent to a priest or a priest, is called a priest in the Eastern Church. Only when he reaches this level can he be regarded as a true clergyman. The rest are grass-roots people, that is to say, the grass-roots people of donggongjiao can get married.)

Maria blinked. "Do you know we're Protestants?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "more or less to understand some."

Don't understand, can you? He's Samuel.

Maria came to her interest: "since you know God, have you ever preached?"

Xiao Peng shook his head and told the truth: "never."

"Why not spread it?" Maria widened her eyes.

However, Xiao Peng asked, "why spread it?"

Maria thought, "isn't it a good thing to have faith in the world and to be good? Most of you Chinese people have no faith, which is not right. "

Xiao Peng laughed: "first of all, Confucianism has been passed down in China for thousands of years. Although there are some assholes in China, the four words" be kind to others "are printed in most people's bones."

After hearing this, Maria said, "I know that I was studying Chinese at the Confucius Institute of the University of North Florida in Jacksonville. It's a pity that I was stopped. Otherwise, my Chinese would not be like this. I really don't understand why. Even the Supreme Court of Singapore has Confucius statues. How can those politicians be so nervous?"Xiao Peng laughed: "Er, although I'm from China, I want to explain that I thought that you xingtiao country is such a bull and put Confucius in the Supreme Court. As a result, I just went to Hua Sheng Dun DC to have a look. It's not a statue of Confucius."

Maria was stunned: "when I was a student at the Confucius Institute, our teacher also specially said this thing, saying that this is a beautiful side of the star country, looking at the world."

Xiao Peng shook his head: "well, I'll tell you the truth, although I also hope that you have a statue of Confucius on the Supreme Court of xingtiao state. How can you say that? But in fact, it's not true. It's just made up by Neo Confucianists. Almost all of your western political and philosophical texts are based on the Bible as the legitimacy, and your star country is a shoulder belt country established by Protestants. How can you use pagan Confucius as an idol standard? In fact, the three people in the statues built by the Supreme Court mean "the three kings conquered and the gods granted power". The three statues are Gaspar, moxio and Baltasar. They represent the belief in God, the belief in salvation, and the belief in wealth and glory. "

Maria's eyes widened. "I know, I know! Their story comes from the Bible the New Testament the gospel of Matthew. But why do our teachers teach us that way? "

Xiao Peng laughed: "this is also a part of Confucianism. It's called" taboo for respect, taboo for relatives, taboo for impoliteness, don't look at and don't listen to those who are not. "To put it bluntly, it's the so-called" spring autumn brushwork "that should be said and what should not be said should not be said. The purpose of doing this is" to make the unruly officials and thieves afraid ". However, it is a kind of fraud, well, it can be said that it is good The intention of fraud, but whether it is good or malicious, fraud is fraud

Maria nodded. "That's why there's no faith. Our faith keeps us from lying."

Xiao pengle: "dare you say that you have never lied in your life? Don't say a white lie. A lie is a lie. People always lie when they are alive. Besides, who says we Chinese have no faith? We Chinese believe in ancestors and family. To be exact, everyone in the world has their own belief. If you say you believe in God, I don't believe that better things like love and family are not as good as God in your heart. Your father is a priest. Will he abandon you and your mother for God's sake? Of course, as far as I know, some priests will do this, which is called "save more people to love the masses". But is it against your doctrine to do so? Don't you respect your family? How to solve the contradiction here

After hearing this, Maria fell into deep thought, which seemed to be a real problem.

Xiao Peng shrugged and opened the book to continue reading. This question is enough for her to drink.

"No!" The girl next to Maria didn't know when to wake up: "it's not right for you to say that. Our western values are" I'm for everyone, everyone is for me. "It's a universal spirit, but you're selfish. You say," people don't do it for yourself. Heaven kills the earth. ". Just because you Orientals are selfish, you are lagging behind our western countries, and we need to rescue them. "

"This is my sister, Tyler Kelly," Maria said quickly

Xiao pengle: "your parents are really star chasers. Is this name based on Taylor Swift?"

Tyler Kelly said, "what are you talking about? Taylor Swift wasn't famous when I was born!"

"My sister's name is based on Elizabeth Taylor," Maria explained

Xiao Peng said with a smile, "is it not in line with the doctrine that your parents pursue stars like this? How can you worship others outside God

Now the two girls are speechless.

"What's more, the meaning of" people do not do it for themselves "does not mean that people should be selfish. What's more, the meaning of" Wei "is cultivation. It means that if people don't study hard and make progress, then heaven and earth will die. You have misunderstood the meaning of this sentence! Chinese is broad and profound enough for you to learn! "

He habitually took out cigarettes from his pocket, and Tyler pointed to Xiao Peng: "what do you want to do?"

Xiao Peng a Leng, immediately put the cigarette up: "sorry, used to."

"So you Chinese are backward. Don't you know that you can't smoke when you fly? It's common sense! " Tyler had a chance to fight back.

Xiao Peng scratched his head: "I'm really sorry. Of course I know I can't smoke by plane. It's just a temporary habit. "

"How can you get used to such things?" Tyler's not giving up.

Xiao Peng laughed bitterly: "Taylor, in fact, the thing is like this: I used to take my own private plane, and I could smoke as much as I wanted."
