aI don't know what kind of devil they have in their hearts, but a number of Chinese people have a "roaring incident" in a public place in London, England, and they have become."Social**
These days, a British piano blogger with 2.15 million followers on YouTube has made waves online.
The blogger is calledBrendan Kavanagh, also known as:Dr. K, is a British pianist and an internet celebrity, a bit like a street artist; He likes to play on the public piano in public places in the UK, while filming** and often broadcasting live. On this day, he was doing a live broadcast, and several English-speaking Chinese broke into the camera.
The live broadcast location is famous in LondonKing's Cross Railway Station（king'S Cross Railway Station), a famous landmark in London and one of the icons of J.K. Rowling's magical literary series "Harry Potter", is usually bustling with tourists.
Dr. K is the on-camera anchor, and the assistant cameraman next to him is filming **, so the whole process is clearly recorded.
From dialogue to conflict to roaring, the whole process lasts for more than half an hour, and it is roughly a "four-step" process.
Step 1: Propose not to be photographed.
It started with a Chinese lady coming over, smiling and politely saying to Dr. K in English that they were recording a show for a Chinese TV station, "Did you record all of us?" "The reason why they don't want to be photographed is because of themSigned a confidentiality agreement with the TV station and cannot disclose it in advance**
Dr. K was puzzled by this, and the conversation quickly turned unpleasant. Dr. K asked solemnly, "So, you Chinese don't allow me to photograph you, is that so?" ”
At this time, a Chinese man suddenly entered the camera and joined the conversation. At first, he was relatively calm, emphasizing that his faces could not appear in each other's images, "just don't shoot us." Dr. K was even more puzzled, as he thought it was a public placeFreedom to photograph in public places is permitted by English law, and there is no prohibition on it.
The key issue here is that for Dr. K, who was filming live in a public venue, these Chinese were just passers-by A and Passerby B passing by King's Cross Railway Station, and they may have been filmed by Dr. K, live-streamed, or filmed by others. If the law does not prohibit it, it can be done, you can't restrict other Internet celebrities from filming or live streaming normally just because you signed a confidentiality agreement with the TV station; If you don't want to be photographed, then leave the place and "go up". As netizens said: "Live broadcasts should not be too common, if you don't want to be recorded, just walk away, it's just to find fault." ”
A public place is not a private property. So, Dr. K, who is free-willed, is baffled by the demands of these people.
Step 2: Raise the issue of infringement of "portrait rights".
After some conversation, the Chinese man's tone became very tough, demanding that "the images of all of us not be broadcast on the Internet", and he moved out".Image rights"We are protecting our image rights. ”
Dr. K was even more puzzled, arguing that it was a public place, that it was a legal photograph, and that there was no infringement of portrait rights. A Chinese lady is inserted in the middle, indicating that she is "also British", and also emphasizing that "I have my image rights".
In fact, this is just a shot that you broke into someone else's shooting, not someone chasing you to shoot you, and it has nothing to do with portrait rights and privacy rights. After that, they called the police, and the two officers also explained that the situation could be filmed and did not infringe on portrait rights.
It can be seen that these Chinese are "talking about the law blindly", and they do not understand neither what portrait rights are, nor British law.
Step 3: Move out of "racial discrimination".
Dr. K's emphasis that "we are in a free country" and that "you are holding the Chinese flag in your hand" is a statement of fact. However, the Chinese man said, "This is racism." FaceRaised to the level of alleged "racial discrimination".Dr. K was also very polite: "It's not racism, it's a free country, I can shoot whatever I want." ”
This accusation of "racial discrimination" is obviously a serious and irrational "unlimited platform", which is the outbreak of "offshore patriotism" in someone else's country. These Chinese have Chinese and British nationals, and Dr. K, who is British, obviously has no racist thoughts and expressions.
Step 4: Rant "Don't touch" the ladies on his team.
During the conversation, Dr. K said to a Chinese lady, "Show me your flag", and at this moment, the Chinese man suddenly roared at Dr. K"Don't touch her!
The sudden roar and roar, like thunder on the ground, frightened Dr. K into jumping backwards. The Chinese man shouted continuously, "Don't touch her!" "Even say," he saidYou are not an age! Dr. K argued, "I didn't touch her, I just touched the flag." The two of them then fell into a "repeating quarrel" mode.
Obviously, the Chinese man was overdone, he ignored the facts, and said that the other party was going to touch the lady in his team - such a public "accusation" is suspected of "framing". Imagine, in public, during the camera shooting, when the two sides have a quarrel, Dr. K will "flirt" like "touching" a lady on your side? The "accusation" of "racial discrimination" is not good, but is it difficult to "accuse" people of "sexual harassment"? This is really angry and carried away, this Chinese man's brain is pounding paste, very confused, and the words shouted are also "mashing paste", a typical large-scale "overturned" scene.
At the end of the incident, two British police officers, a man and a woman, arrived and asked both sides about the situation; One of the female police officers insisted that Dr. K's videographer turn off the camera first, but Dr. K firmly disagreed, insisting on his right to legally record in a public place and not turning off the camera, meaning to preserve the evidence so as not to be at a loss afterwards. The female police officer couldn't do anything about him.
The "C Roaring Incident" continues to ferment, and some foreign netizens actually compiled the song "Don't Touch Me", which became popular on YouTube.
These Chinese "victims" may be tourists, international students, or employees who have already worked in the UK, no matter what, they are all Chinese images, and they hold a small five-star red flag in their hands; They are relatively fluent in English, and their cultural level should not be bad, but they didn't expect their cognitive level to be so inferior.
In this regard, the comments of many Chinese netizens are also polite enough:
The little wolf warrior is out of the hole! The descendants of the Zhao family, the small pink group, thought that there was a backer behind them, and they made a big fuss in the UK. "Self-righteous and vexatious. Roaring scumbag, let us Chinese people feel ashamed! "I'm touching porcelain, you're unlucky! Touching the flag, he rose to touch the girl. "At the beginning, it was to please the Boxers in order to attract traffic and make quick money, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating. "There are some 'wolf warriors' who don't know that they are 'cockroaches'. "These patriotic pinks must be told that this 'patriotic business' can be put to rest! ”…
The friendship between countries lies in the people-to-people relationship". At a time when we are looking forward to more and more "mutual visa exemption" between countries and better and better "people-to-people diplomacy" between people, these Chinese who came to the UK have done such a troublesome thing, which is really embarrassing. This "roaring incident" is simply self-righteousThe collapse of people-to-people diplomacy caused by the "giant baby" of low emotional intelligence. The tide has not yet receded, and these "folk wolf warriors" poke their heads out of the sea to present the public with the image of themselves swimming naked.
When they go abroad, why do these "patriotic Chinese" behave like this? A very important reason is that "diplomacy" has become "foreign fighting," and "Taoguang Yanghui" has long been thrown into the "country of Java." These people with "two brushes" are often arrogant and accustomed at home, and even when they go abroad, they are aggressive, and they do not know what "people-to-people diplomacy" is, and they are self-righteous and self-proud to turn "people-to-people diplomacy" into "non-governmental foreign fighting."
However, these "civil fights" and "roaring and roaring" are often only aimed at civilized people in civilized countries. Some netizens said: "Roaring bravely in a civilized and safe country fully reflects the 'wolf warrior-style bravery'." If they are in Russia, in North Korea, in Iran, in the Gaza Strip, do they dare to roar at the locals like this? ”
Does the occurrence of the London "Roaring Incident" indicate that a generation of "civilian wolf warrior diplomats" is growing? In fact, there are many similar incidents, some Chinese aunts go to other people's public places to dance square dances, and some go to other people's universities to tear up any posters they don't like, and so on."Offshore pinkIt is often unreasonable, extremely excited, and domineering.
is very typical that in October 2023, a Chinese female Internet celebrity named Han Feizi,The Singapore hospital incident caused a sensation on the whole network
The 29-year-old Chinese woman committed a series of crimes in Singapore, first abusing security guards and being rude in her apartment, and then yelling at a hospital** and exploding foul language at a male police officer. At the hospital, in the face of Singaporean investigators, she behaved extremely rude but self-righteous; She always thinks that she is justified and correct, and she doesn't know that she is wrong from beginning to end, and she is a proper "giant baby". It's a shame that his father opened the door in shame - he came home in shame. Netizens watched the whole process she recorded herself**, and shouted that she should be sentenced to whipping by the Singapore court, and she only remembered it after a few whips.
Later, after further investigation, it was revealed that Han Feizi applied for a Singapore work permit, saying that she was employed by a private *** as a clerk, but unexpectedly after obtaining the permit, she worked as a wine escort everywhere.
According to Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" on November 8, 2023, Han Feizi was sentenced to five five days in prison and fined for insulting ** and the police, and after being released from prison, she was repatriated to China on November 8 and banned from entering Singapore.
e street piano, a symbol of civilization and beauty. A piano has become a public good, and people can sit down and play a song as if they were at home; Often passers-by join in, or play with four hands, or play with violin, or dance with ......
There are also more and more pianos in public places in China, such as the pianos in some hospital halls, where anyone can play a song to soothe the soul. Recently, Shenzhen'sConstruction worker Yi Qunlin, became popular for playing the piano on the street, and was respected by many people.

That Dr. K, October 31, 2023Improvising with Chinese girls to play the piano, and then he also invited the girl to play the Chinese ** "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon", and praised the Chinese tradition ** - that**, harmonious, warm and beautiful.
Isn't this "piano diplomacy" among the people? Compared to the "roaring fight", one in the sky, one underground.
Laughing is better than crying, shaking hands is better than kicking feet, cooperation is better than confrontation, and "panda diplomacy" is better than "wolf warrior diplomacy".
It's time to replace "wolf warrior diplomacy" with "panda diplomacy"! (The author is a special commentator of the Japan branch of the Hong Kong News Service).
