Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 124: The Rise of a Great Power, or the Dignity of Ordinary People?

He found that Zhou Yang didn't have much of a problem with Bruce, but he was disdainful of some of the blind praise for China.

Bruce's understanding of China was limited to the Chinese language.

Bringing Bruce back might worsen the atmosphere and public opinion won't improve.

therefore.

Instead of bringing Bruce back, it would be better to change the script starting from the next episode.

On the script.

We should praise specific cases, rather than blindly exaggerating.

Reasonable and well-founded.

Zhou Yang then had no way to retort.

As for other aspects, he was unable to intervene or control them.

The director looked at the screen helplessly.

At this point, everyone started discussing the topic of "development".

Many foreign guests avoided discussions related to China as quickly as possible.

They were afraid that their ignorance would cause problems and lead to Zhou Yang refuting them.

Everyone discussed the topic from the perspectives of other countries and their own experiences.

E.g.

This episode did not feature any guests from "clean and hygienic" countries, but many foreigners used it as an opportunity to discuss the recent developments of "clean countries."

After all, many people know that the "Clean Country" is very arrogant.

They like to call Shanghai, the "Magic City" of China, "Little Mumbai," and think their country is the world's largest country.

These discussions are not very informative.

It contained a great deal of mockery.

……

on the other hand.

At Tsinghua University.

Some professors are also watching the World Youth Talk program.

The main reason these professors paid attention to the program was because of Zhou Yang.

After all, Zhou Yang was a genius who skipped grades to enter Tsinghua University at the age of 15, so people were very curious about him.

Among these professors is Professor Kong, but he ranks relatively low.

The others.

Each one has a more impressive background than the last.

If these people's academic titles were shown to outsiders, it would be quite astonishing!
At this moment, although their eyes were fixed on the television program, they were discussing completely different topics.

"The Xia Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty—haha, everyone is probably familiar with the dynasties this kid didn't mention."

"Of course I know, but that's not our focus. All the dynasties he mentioned represent the inheritance and development of Chinese civilization. As for the last dynasty, which brought us a century of humiliation, let's not even mention it!"

"Yes, he's right about how Chinese civilization has risen for thousands of years and remains strong to this day."

"Yes, many people know, but they don't dare to say it in public. This child is brave and resourceful, and has a promising future!"

"However, to prove this point, extensive literature review is still needed for a systematic demonstration."

"Zhou Yang is a good kid."

This was Professor Kong's last sentence, spoken with deep appreciation.

That's why he gave such praise.

It's also because Zhou Yang performed so well.

At his age, most young people don't think so systematically and deeply.

Everyone thinks so.

In feudal times, there was only exploitation.

Compared to modern civilization in Europe and America, it is all dross. We must reflect on this and we must completely Westernize.

Only those who truly understand history.

just got it.

This is merely a form of cultural invasion, fundamentally dissolving the history of the Chinese nation.

A scholar from Europe and America once said...

The best way to destroy a nation and a country is to overthrow their heroes and destroy their history.

The professors present have been fighting against Western historians and cultural figures for years to protect Chinese culture and history and to gain a voice in the discourse.

therefore.

All the professors present felt a greater sense of goodwill towards Zhou Yang.

There's a sense of relief that someone has the right to carry on the legacy.

"Let me help him."

A professor suddenly spoke up. "With Professor Xia stepping in, that's perfect!" Professor Kong said excitedly.

This old man Xia.

He is a true titan in the field of history, someone whom even he would respectfully address as "Master".

Professor Xia has been engaged in historical research for nearly sixty years, and he has participated in the revision of most of the historical materials on Chinese history.

He has another identity.

He was the proposer and chief engineer of the Xia-Shang-Zhou Chronology Project.

In the field of history, he holds a highly respected position.

In this situation, he wrote an article using his official account.

The article lists the rise and development of historical periods such as the early Xia Dynasty, the fierce Shang Dynasty, the ritualistic Zhou Dynasty, the hegemonic Qin Dynasty, the powerful Han Dynasty, the majestic Sui Dynasty, the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the wealthy Song Dynasty, and the vigorous Ming Dynasty.

There are also comparisons with other countries in the world during the same period.

The question is whether modern China is rising or experiencing a revival.

The article provides Zhou Yang with very rigorous information.

Instead of debating the title "Rise or Rejuvenation," he analyzed each historical dynasty.

The power of words makes one seem to see an old man sitting at a table, hunched over, typing on a keyboard, even though the article contains only words.

But it presents the vast landscape of China, the clash of swords and the might of the dynasties that swept across the land.

The Great Xia Dynasty rose from the primordial wilderness.

From the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Qin dynasty, the clash of swords and the might of the Great Wall stretched for thousands of miles.

The Han Dynasty expanded its territory and annihilated foreign tribes.

He shouted, "The Han army is approaching! Do not move! If you do, your country will be destroyed!"

All races submit to him!

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the world admired and followed the emperor, and all nations came to pay tribute!

The Song Dynasty was prosperous and powerful, the Ming Dynasty was strong and resolute... The emperor guarded the country's gates, the monarch died for the country, full of heroic spirit, and the tragic atmosphere seemed to emanate from through the screen.

It's absolutely captivating!

This kind of article.

If published under normal circumstances, it would not cause any ripples.

Because it's too literary and too boring in this fast-paced, entertainment-obsessed era.

People aren't in the mood to read these long historical articles.

However, after Zhou Yang participated in World Youth Talk and made some related remarks, the program sparked heated discussions on various platforms.

So after the article was published, the number of views skyrocketed.

And the live stream room.

Countless viewers are frantically taking sides and attacking each other.

"Heh, what does Zhou Yang, a middle school student, know about history?"

"Professor Sima isn't afraid of him, he's clearly being suppressed by the production team."

"I support Professor Sima! Zhou Yang is too anti-intellectual!"

Many people support Professor Sima.

Professor Sima was very confused.

Even though he has already left the show, he has been placed on the opposite side of Zhou Yang, becoming a weapon used by countless people to attack Zhou Yang.

He seemed to be the only authority.

These people believe that China is not worth reviving.

They believe that the history of China's rise is a history of the people's blood and tears, and they only want the dignity of ordinary people.

We don't want a great power to rise!
Suddenly, a comment appeared on the screen.

"That's absolutely right. The Rites of Zhou laid the foundation for the Chinese ritual system for thousands of years. The Qin Dynasty was the beginning of a unified dynasty. The powerful Han Dynasty, the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the wealthy Song Dynasty, and the upright Ming Dynasty are all worthy of praise."

After this comment disappeared.

A flood of disdainful comments immediately followed.

"Haha, Chinese etiquette? It's clearly feudal dross!"

"A unified dynasty? Isn't that just a feudal empire? What's there to brag about!"

"And the Ming Dynasty, haha, I can't even bear to talk about those disgusting things!"

"These words are only meant to fool illiterate people!"

these people.

They not only attacked Zhou Yang, who participated in the show, but also those who sent supportive comments on the screen!
And the person who posted this comment.

It was Mr. Xia.

Upon seeing these foul words, his face turned pale and his lips twitched.
