"The cultural differences between Europe and China are quite obvious, but they are not so exaggerated.I think it's not right to look at the positive side of Europe and criticize the negative side of ourselves. ”Wang Ai then explained: "For example, I once heard the saying that children in American families are particularly self-reliant, and after the age of 18, they will rely on themselves, which is an exaggeration.Because many American families have no savings, parents may live in large houses, but their monthly income is used to pay off loans or spend, and they cannot afford to help their children.And those who have the ability to help will basically not look at it. ”Seeing that both of them were listening, Wang Ai simply said more: "The most obvious is inheritance, if those rich people in the United States really insist on the idea that their children are completely self-reliant, then they can spend all their money before they die."
But there are some families in the United States that have been passed down from generation to generation, all of them for hundreds of years, such as the Morgan family.It is true that the children of some wealthy people will work part-time during high school and college, but it is more of a social practice than complete self-reliance.Parents and children have feelings and nature, which is the same in ancient and modern China and abroad.Unless you can't help, if you can, will you still look at it and not reach out?
It's impossible. ”Seeing the two nodding, Wang Ai took the words back: "France is one of the birthplaces of European thought, but even in France, the Golden Globe Awards held by the French are actually based on collective honors over individual honors.Because football is a typical sport, you can't be completely individualistic.Maradona's long-distance journey is only one in his life, and most of the time he has to rely on the collective and dedicate himself to the collective.Therefore, it would be wrong to say that Europe is entirely about the individual above the collective.Similarly, getting along with teammates and friends is actually not much different from us Chinese, and last year I won the Golden Globe Award and invited my teammates to dinner. ”"Little Wang'er, I'll interject this."
Bai Yansong said: "This habit, did you bring it to Inter Milan?"
Or do people already have it?
”Wang Ai shook his head: "I didn't bring it, because when I sent out the invitation, no one was surprised."
When I was at Chelsea, in '05, Frank Lampard won the second Ballon d'Or, we went to Paris as a team, and after the award ceremony, Lampard invited us to dinner.That's right, it's not a makeover, it's not an AA system.I think we're a little bit hype, it's a bit too much.I can understand that some people say this in the hope that we can get rid of some bad habits and make faster progress.But some, it is a bit of a blow to our national self-confidence.Let me give you another example, the split meal system.It seems that the popular saying in our country is that foreigners have a separate meal system, which is very civilized and clean, and some people say that we should get rid of the habit of using chopsticks and use more knives and forks, right?
”Duan Xuan nodded: "Yes, I have heard of this statement. ”Wang Ai spread his hands: "I'll make a long story short, the source of the meal distribution system is not for hygiene, but for fairness."
There was a problem of widespread hunger in ancient Europe for a long time, so the purpose of dividing meals was to ration.In ancient times, we also had a separate meal system, but in fact, the starting point was the same.So far, the meal sharing system has the effect of hygiene, but it is not so absolute.For example, for a family dinner, the difference with us is the common tableware, if you have a beef stew, this hot dish, you are separated and it will be cold, the way is to use the common tableware in the big bowl of beef stew, whoever eats it will use the common to put it in their own bowl, and then put it back, in fact, this is the difference. ”"Let's talk about chopsticks and knives and forks."
Wang Ai smiled: "This has something to do with the way we cook."
Europe is accustomed to cooking large pieces of ingredients directly, and then taking them out to eat, you can't use chopsticks, you can't cut chopsticks, you have to use a knife and fork.And what about us?
We're used to cutting it first and then cooking it, which is more fuel-efficient.When it's done, you don't need to cut it again without a knife.In fact, chopsticks are much more convenient than knives and forks, for example, eating hot pot, how do you eat with knives and forks?
Chopsticks can be clipped, what about your knife and fork?
”Speaking of this, Wang Ai made a move of holding a knife to the hot pot and stabbed it down: "You have to stab it, the meat slices are tumbling in the pot, you are easy to stab, then you can't stab it, you have to poke it back and forth, but after stabbing for a long time, your knife and fork are metal, and you are still hot?"
”Bai Yansong and Duan Xuan were amused by Wang Ai's colorful description, just like Wang Ai's family who were watching TV."
Therefore, we have to look at the cultural differences between our two sides rationally, just like the social evaluation of both sides after I won the award.""
Then did the Inter Milan club arrange any celebrations for you after you won the award?""
It's not too complicated, it's just that before the competition on the second night after receiving the award, I arranged a celebration ceremony and sent me a souvenir, which didn't take long.After all, it's a personal award, and it's okay to have fifty or sixty thousand people look at it. ”Wang Ai recalled: "If the team wins the championship, it will be much larger and longer. ”"How many championships have you won?"
Bai Yansong suddenly asked, "It's a lot, right?"
What is the general process?
”"Uh......"
Wang Ai raised his head for five seconds, then lowered his head again: "I can't remember how many champions, this has to be counted after the fact, anyway, how many will be taken every year, right?"
The process is usually a parade of floats, with the players on the open bus, crowded fans below, and then they go together to the club's gate or stadium, or the famous square, and talk about it.The traditions vary slightly from place to place, but the process is roughly like this.The bigger the club, the tighter it is, because there are a lot of them, the smaller the club, the more free they are, for example, I won the championship in Laco, a league championship was celebrated for a week, and that year we won six championships, and we celebrated it for half a month. ”"After you won the World Footballer of the Year, did you feel anything changed on and off the pitch?""
There should be, but I don't feel it right now.""
He should be short-lived."
Duan Xuan interjected.Bai Yansong pushed down his glasses: "Then let me ask this, have you changed a lot since you won the Golden Globe Award last year?"
”"Not small."
Wang Ai nodded: "There are many people targeting you on the field, there will definitely be people who are not convinced, or want to beat you, but on the whole, it is okay, there are almost no malicious fouls against you, just shoveling your legs or something, no."
There are also changes in life, for example, there are more businesses that want to cooperate with you, and there are more fans who ask you to sign autographs and take photos, but on the whole, it is okay. ”"Do you think you have a great impact on Chinese society after winning the award?""
It's temporary, my little thing is to inspire some self-confidence, but in the whole system of our ever-changing China, it's insignificant."
