Li Mu didn't expect to be recognized by an American police officer. When the other party surprised and called out his name, Li Mu, out of politeness, could only put down the window and say hello to the policeman.
When the other side saw Li Mu's face and determined that it was him, he said excitedly, "I can't believe it. It's really you, Mr. Li! My son has always regarded you as an idol, and I have always taught him to take you as an example and to be an outstanding person who will contribute to the society like you in the future. I didn't expect that he would have the chance to face you. If I told him that I met you after I went home, he would not dare believe it... "
Li Mu asked with a smile, "how old is your son?"
"Ten years old!" The policeman said: "he is learning computer after class. His dream is to be an outstanding Internet worker like you."
Li Mu nodded modestly and said, "please tell him for me that if he can persist, the door of Muye technology will be open for him. I hope that one day, he can become a member of Muye technology."
"Great!" The police were so excited that they clenched their hands and cheered like children. Then they asked tentatively, "I have a camera for law enforcement in my car. Can I take a picture with you? You can rest assured that after the photos are developed, I will only show them to the children and not to others. "
“OK。” Li mushuang nodded quickly, and then said: "sorry, our car has just come out of a little condition, so we just stopped temporarily. Do you think we can..."
The policeman immediately waved his hand and said: "it's nothing, as long as the driver is more careful when driving back."
After that, the policeman looked at Wei Jun and said seriously, "hey man, you know what you're sitting in the car, but the most outstanding young man in the world. For his safety, you must practice your skills. Do you understand?"
Wei Jun hurriedly nodded, "don't worry, officer, there won't be another time."
The police nodded, handed the certificate back to Wei Jun through the window, and said with a smile, "but you have to stop a little longer. I took the camera and took a picture to escort you all the way to the city."
Before Wei Jun could speak, the police had already trotted back to their police car, then took out a digital camera from the car and trotted back.
Li Mu gets out of the car and asks Wei Lan to help him take a picture with the policeman. After taking the picture, the policeman immediately says to Li Mu, "thank you, Mr. Li. You can start now."
Li Mu nodded slightly, and then got on the car with Wei Lan. Wei Jun was relieved and started the car to leave the scene.
On the way back, Wei Jun sighed and said: "American police sometimes have no way. They have a great power of law enforcement. Many things can be handled in a big or small way. In the United States, if you meet a real person, everything is possible. If you don't pay attention to speeding, or you don't break a red light, and you meet a talking policeman, you may be warned a few words, but if you meet one It's quite normal to be detained for one day, fined hundreds of dollars, then paid hundreds of dollars in bail, and later sentenced to 72 hours of community service by the court. "
Li Mu asked with a smile, "will traffic violations have such serious consequences?"
"Yes!" Wei Jun nodded, smiled and asked, "guess what if you park illegally in the United States?"
The Wei Lan of one side asks: "won't also want to be sued?"
Wei Jun nodded and said with a smile, "if it's serious, it will be prosecuted, and it's really necessary to go to court for trial, but in most cases, it's a fine, and then a certain amount of community service."
"To be honest, Americans really like to go to court. Anyone who doesn't go out of court several times a year is embarrassed to say that he lives in the United States. He goes to court for big things and small things. He goes to court for big things or small things. Otherwise, the most profitable industry in the country is lawyers."
Wei Lan said with a smile, "I used to think that our family would live in the United States in the future. Listen to you, you still dislike this place..."
Wei Jun sighed and said: "people think America is good. I'm more and more uncomfortable crossing the country. In fact, America is not as good as it looks outside. Most Chinese living here are not so happy in their hearts, especially racial discrimination. Although on the surface, everyone is resisting and opposing this idea, it still exists in American society Generally, people of color in the United States will be treated differently in their lives, which may not come from the law and the government, but from the grass-roots level of society. "
"Let's take the police for example. Some policemen have serious racial discrimination. A few days ago, a black boy was shot dead by the police on duty because he refused to accept the inspection of the police. The policeman who shot the man said in court that he felt his life was threatened, so he shot. But the boy didn't have any weapons, but the court still did He accepted his explanation and released him in court. I heard that he went back to the police station directly after his release. Although many black people protested, it didn't have any substantive effect. "
"Is that too much?" Wei Lan exclaimedWei Jun smiled helplessly and said, "it's too much, but there's no way."
After hearing this, Li Mu was quite moved. He was born again in 16 years. At that time, the global information exchange was very convenient and smooth. So he knew many cases of racial discrimination in the United States. He didn't know how many of them happened just because the police shot and killed people of color. It's not easy for Chinese people to get respect and recognition from the whole society here.
At this time, Wei Jun said: "take the incident just now. If you change a policeman who has a problem with the yellow people, and there is no famous man Mr. Li in the car, the other side will probably not let us leave so easily. At the very least, they will not hesitate to give me a ticket, at the very least, they will probably arrest me for 24 hours, and then sue me. ”
"Sue?" Wei Lan does not understand of say: "so small matter, as to sue?"
Wei Jun nodded and said: "there are two sets of standards for social security in the United States, one is to deal with matters as small as possible, the other is to develop as much as possible, and most of this law enforcement power is in the hands of white people, so sometimes it will be used by people wearing colored glasses. Although there are few extreme examples like the one I just said, they are different Things to be done are very common. "
After a pause, Wei Jun said: "there are many such things in America. Black and yellow people are more or less treated differently here. Every Chinese living here is believed to have more or less accepted the malice from racial discrimination, including me."
"Sometimes when I was shopping in the supermarket, I was interrupted by the white guy when I was in line to check out. I reminded him that the other guy's exports were dirty. He called you a damn Chinaman and talked about the saying" get out of my country ". What's the big deal? No, but can we feel comfortable after listening? Sometimes I feel sad. I really want to fight with those little bastards. But I'm not good at fighting with young Americans. I can't even fight with my American peers. They grow up eating beef. To be honest, they have better physical fitness than us, and they are cool and love fitness. In general, they can't beat them... "
When it comes to some deep-seated things in the United States, Wei Jun seems to have opened a conversation box and said with regret: "I have talked about this problem with many Chinese immigrants to the United States. The United States is very good, with developed economy, technology and culture, but it is not perfect. On the contrary, there are many disadvantages hidden under the halo. In fact, quite a few people have lived in the United States It's not so good. Everyone has everyone's heartache. They also want to go back, but their relatives and friends at home think that they are very happy and have face when they immigrate to the United States, so that they have developed the vanity that immigrating to the United States is superior to others. Now let them go back, it's equivalent to letting them go down the altar. Their face can't live up to it. "
As he spoke, Wei Jun suddenly thought of something and said to Li Mu, "by the way, Mr. Li, many Chinese talents in the United States now seem to be under your influence and ready to go back to China for development. I heard that there are many people who just joined in the field of science and technology. My friend's child immigrated to the United States with his parents in his teens, and also became a citizen. He studied as a doctor at Yale. I met him last time At that time, he said that his son had been hired by Muye technology and was going to Yanjing. "
"Muye technology has a plan for the return of overseas talents to promote and speed up the return of overseas talents. In the future, more and more efforts will be devoted to this field," Li said, nodding
Wei Jun asked curiously, "is that like my friend's son who has joined the United States in your plan? It seems that it's hard for people who have already turned their nationality to turn back to China? "
Li Mu shook his head and said with a smile, "this plan is not supported by the government, so it is not limited by nationality, and I do not value nationality. I value race."
Li Mu explained, "to be honest, I don't have racial discrimination. I always feel that all races in the world are equal. But, although I don't have racial discrimination, it doesn't mean I don't have racial consciousness. On the contrary, I am a person with strong racial consciousness."
"The ancients said that the people who are not my race and have different hearts agree with this very much, so what I pursue is to let all the children of the Chinese nation unite and make this nation stronger. No matter where others are or where they join, as long as they have the blood of the Chinese nation flowing in them and are willing to pay for the prosperity and strength of this nation An effort, that he is the object that we will strive for in the future! "
