[Why are the Japanese often found out when they pretend to be the Eighth Route Army]

[Let alone the devils pretending to be the Eighth Route Army, even if the Chinese pretend to be the Eighth Route Army, they would be easily exposed]

【Chatting with a good friend before】

[He talked about what happened when Shanghai fell in 1949]

[I thought about it for a long time, and muttered doubtfully: Wasn’t Shanghai liberated in 1949? ]

[Later I realized that he was Taiwanese]

[The United States sent spies to Italy during World War II]

[Caught upon entry]

[The Americans are puzzled]

[After the war, I asked the Italian commander why he was able to see through it so easily]

[The Italian officer’s answer was: You Americans really have no taste in clothes.]

[There was also a Korean guy who lived in China for 16 years pretending to be Chinese. He was flawless, but he was exposed when someone asked him a question.]

[Someone asked him: What are the first digits of your ID number?]

[He replied that how could he tell about something as private as his ID card]

[Many people think they understand foreign history]

[You can be a spy by imitating a foreigner’s accent, clothing, and diet]

[In fact, the habits that have been developed over ten or twenty years in life are the most difficult to change]

【The Spring Festival is here, you should go back to your hometown too! 】

[There is nothing wrong with the grammar of this sentence in Chinese]

[But it doesn't look like a word a Chinese person would say]

"The word hometown is not very common in articles nowadays."

"Hometown? I only pretend to be like this when I'm writing an essay."

“The word “hometown” can appear in various written expressions, as well as in formal reports and speeches, but it will never appear in conversations between people. It will only be replaced by “老家” [cover face][cover face][cover face][cover face]”

““You are going back to your hometown too”, my first impression was the subtitles of the dubbed films of the past [watching]”

"Daily communication and written communication are very different. There are also living habits and decades of life accumulation. If there is something wrong, it will make people feel very unnatural."

"Oh, in the hometown of Ren-san, the cherry blossoms should be blooming, right? [Covering face]"

"When I was in school, I didn't want to eat steamed buns, so I told the chef, "No steamed buns," and my classmates burst out laughing [covering face]"

"The average height of the Japanese soldiers in World War II was 1.59 meters, and most of them were between 1.65 and meters tall. The average height of the Chinese soldiers in World War II was meters. In addition, they were thin due to long-term field combat, poor eating and sleeping, and the Japanese soldiers were short and ruddy, so it was hard not to be discovered [covering face]"

"Hahaha! In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a Kuomintang spy who was pinned down by fellow villagers on a train because he kept talking about the Battle of Xuzhou and Bengbu. Here we call it the Huaihai Campaign [see]"

Our ancestors who sent spies to enemy countries to gather intelligence said: It turns out that the spies we sent out could be discovered so easily!

The slightest difference in living habits will be noticed, so I guess I have to be more cautious in the future.

It would be better to send out the palace maids who were married off as the emperor's concubines as spies. Wouldn't the probability of being discovered be lower this way?

People who were inspired by seeing the sky curtain: Basically every language has a spoken version, and citizens of a country rarely speak it standardly. Since people from other countries can tell whether someone is Chinese from their accent, then we Chinese in later generations will definitely be able to tell whether someone is a spy from his or her accent.

It’s like me, an ancestor who lived hundreds of years ago to people in later generations. If one day a god were to appear and travel to later generations like in the time-travel novels written by people in later generations, they would probably regard me as a person from another country!

After all, our daily language and the names of various daily necessities are different.

For example, the apples that people in later generations eat, we call them ringo; the cats and dogs that people in later generations like to call, we call them little raccoons.
