Sai Mouerbeike could be considered the first scholar spy supported by the British Government.
He was the lamp on the forehead of the tart hunter, friendly and cordial as he approached East Asia, the heart of the Chinese race, and the hinterland of Chinese civilization.
Behind his smiley face was a search and analysis of information. He would make a preliminary arrangement and provide a series of plans to contain the Chinese for the British leadership to consult.
To be honest, he really did an outstanding job. He really did not look bad!
On a trip to the Western Regions, he was able to clearly see the Chinese civilization's tolerance and assimilation of other nationalities. He also had a very alert understanding of the Central Plains civilization's infiltration into the outer regions.
He could even, by observing the common people, deduce one of the great mysteries of Chinese civilization... That was to say that history was respected from the very bottom.
This kind of national attribute was really not something that other nationalities could possess. Only Chinese citizens had such an interest in history after studying the people at the bottom of the world, especially the illiterate people at the bottom of the world.
And history is even an essential part of their social etiquette and ability. You say that you've had too much to drink and you don't understand the story of history, and you can't brag to anyone else.
There were so many races in the world that would sing and dance when they drank too much, or they would fight and pick up girls … In any case, there was no nation that drank too much and boasted together. Moreover, they all boasted about the boasting that happened thousands of years ago.
Sai Mouerbeike had seen bitter cold at the sentry posts before. The soldiers had no mission anymore, they just needed to drink a little and start blowing the story of how the Han Dynasty Wei, Qing, and Huo went north to clean up all the diseases.
He also saw the merchants who stayed at the inn, crying for the story of the Yang family general while drinking wine.
Of course, there were all sorts of arguments about historical figures. When it came to the topic of face and neck, one would even start punching and punching!
”What a wonderful people! There is only one China in the world, and none of the other ethnic groups have this... ”
”In Europe, only those who have undergone a high school education and have attained a higher education will occasionally talk about the poems of the fourteenth century, the religions of the thirteenth century, the Ancient Rome and the ancient Greece …”
”Moreover, there are very few people like him here!” Most people who get drunk will only sing and dance to find women! ”
”Only China, only China has such a special case. Illiteracy can talk about the history of a thousand years ago, and the motherf * cking thing is true history, not myths and legends …”
The more Samuel saw, the more he felt that this race was terrifying. He even secretly conducted some experiments, randomly selecting ordinary Chinese to test their IQ.
The result was even more surprising. The average IQ of this people in China was no lower than that of Europe... Some of the demeaning of the Chinese in European academia is really just a prejudice.
It is because natural science is relatively ignored in Chinese culture that they lack a sound scientific system that makes them seem silly to the outside world.
Yes, European scholars can laugh at the Chinese for not believing that the earth is round, or at them for not believing in heliocentric... But this was just a lack of insight.
As for the philosophy of life, as well as the historical, human and artistic exploration, the Chinese people's level is really not low!
In spite of his prejudices, Samuel knew that if the Chinese were given twenty or thirty years to popularize their science education, the people would surely be impressed.
Without mentioning anything else, on the way, Sai Mouerbeike had seen a lot of temples and ruins on the grassland and the desert, and he was flabbergasted by the exquisite sculptures and frescoes.
People with such high artistic standards, would you say they have a problem with their IQ?
As he continued to understand and think about it, Sai Mouerbeike wrote down a thick conspiracy against the Chinese in his notebook.
”If you want to popularize the values and ideas of the West and completely destroy the roots of Chinese civilization, I would like to give you the following suggestions...”
