When we think of China, what comes to mind?Is it the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Terracotta Warriors, or the pandas, kung fu, and tea culture?Or is it pollution, overcrowding, poverty, or even the pandemic, human rights, democracy?Different people's impressions of China may vary greatly.
These impressions are often based on what we see on TV, newspapers, or the Internet. However, can this information really reflect the true face of China?Not long ago, a group of German tourists came to China, and their experience forced us to rethink this question.
Germany is a developed Western country, and its people enjoy a high standard of living and education. Their perception of the world is also relatively open and diverse. However, when they came to China, they found that they had a lot of misunderstandings and prejudices about the country. They originally thought that China was a backward country, a poor country, and a country that was out of touch with modern civilization.
But as they stepped off the plane, their eyes were blown away by China's bustling metropolis. High-rise buildings, busy streets, and a modern transportation system are completely different from what they see in China. They began to doubt everything they saw, because in their minds, China was a poor and backward country.
Their surprise is not only manifested in the appearance of the city, but also in the connotation of the city. They found that China's cities are full of energy and innovation. They saw a wide variety of cultures and arts, they heard a variety of **s and languages, and they tasted a variety of food and drinks.
They felt the warmth and friendliness of the Chinese, and they appreciated the wisdom and talent of the Chinese. They found that China's cities are a diverse and inclusive place, a place full of opportunities and challenges, and a place worth exploring and Xi.
The surprise of the German tourists makes us wonder why they have such a big error about ChinaWhy does the China they see on TV not match reality?There are many reasons behind this, the most important of which is selectivity and bias. As a disseminator of information, it has a huge influence. It can shape people's perceptions and values, as well as change people's behaviors and attitudes.
However, ** is not neutral and objective, it also has its own positions and interests. Therefore, when reporting on China, there is often selectivity and bias, focusing only on some negative and negative aspects, while ignoring or distorting some positive and positive aspects. In this way, it will create a misleading and biased effect, and people will have an erroneous and one-sided understanding of China.
In addition to selectivity and prejudice, there is another important reason, which is cultural differences and estrangement. China and Germany are two different countries with different histories and cultures. There are many differences and contradictions between them, as well as many similarities and commonalities.
However, due to a lack of communication and understanding, they often use their own culture as a standard by which to measure and evaluate each other. In this way, there will be a kind of cultural prejudice and discrimination, and people will have a kind of rejection and hostility towards each other. This kind of cultural difference and estrangement will also affect the reporting and dissemination of China, so that people have a misunderstanding and prejudice against China.
The amazing journey of German tourists allows us to see another side of China, a gorgeous country, a country full of vitality, and a country full of vitality. It's a different country from China on TV, and it's a country worth visiting.
If you want to understand China, don't just watch TV, don't just listen to **, don't just believe in prejudice, but come to China in person, use your eyes, use your heart, to feel China, to know China, to fall in love with China. Believe me, you won't regret it, you will find that China is a country that surprises you, a country that makes you happy, and a country that makes you grow. China
