Africans have a problem that they can't figure out. Why do Chinese men in Africa do not need women?
It is incomprehensible for a Chinese man to stay in Africa for one year, two years, three years, or even many years. There is no woman by his side and no local women.
Africans are very capable in certain aspects, and their lives are more indulgent. Many African countries still practice polygamy.
They believe that a man is a teapot and a woman is a cup. A teapot naturally needs multiple cups.
If a teapot doesn't even have a cup, where is the water in the teapot poured?
In Africa, it is common to see white men with a black girl with a perfect body next to them, and a strong black boy holding a white girl from Europe and the United States. Only Chinese men are lonely.
In the red light district, I saw dark-skinned and white-skinned men coming and going, but it is rare to see yellow-skinned Chinese men all night.
Chinese men have their own rhetoric: " AIDS, who dares to do it?"
Therefore, some Africans even mistakenly believe that Chinese men received a special injection before going abroad. Acupuncture can make men lose their sexual desire during the period of going abroad, and do not want women.
Therefore, the general impression of Africans on Chinese men is: Chinese men are really pure-hearted!
African impression 1: Chinese people have no faith
To work in an African government department or participate in a lawsuit in a court, you have to fill out a series of forms, one of which is to fill in the religious belief.
Most Chinese people who come to Africa have no religious beliefs. In many cases, Chinese people leave it blank, but it doesn’t work.
They will keep asking, why not fill in.
If there is no faith,They will ask: Are there any churches in China? Don't you guys go to church?
If you say that I don't believe anything, they are as if they have met aliens, and they can't close their mouths in surprise.
They would say: "You look like a good person, but why don't you believe in religion?"
Because in their consciousness, only bad people don't believe in God, so they can't understand why most Chinese don't believe in religion.
Africans believe that work governs the survival of people, religion governs the home of the soul, and earning money from work is the process of life, but not the purpose of life.
The purpose of life is a spiritual pursuit, and the end of life is to be with God.
Without religious belief, it means that there is no soul destination. Chinese people do not believe in religion. Where is the soul of the Chinese people?
What if a person has no soul?
Indeed, it is easy to find people without culture in Africa, but it is difficult to find people without religious beliefs.
African impression 2: Chinese eat everything
African impression of Chinese, Chinese eat everything.
For example, , pork belly, pig intestines, pig brain, pig blood, etc. Africans will not eat even if they are hungry;
turtle, tortoise, sea cucumber and other animals For thousands of years, I didn't know that I could eat it.
And the Chinese under their noses not only eat these things, but they also eat dog meat and cat meat, which makes them feel incredible.
In fact, there are some things that Africans eat, but Chinese do not eat them, such as bloody raw beef, termites, grasshoppers, and ants.
Differences in diet sometimes affect each other's interactions.
Some Chinese who have come to Africa, do not understand local customs and habits, in Ethiopia ,Donkeys and dogs are absolutely forbidden to eat.
The Chinese do not know how to eat, and the locals are unhappy about it.
And some Chinese eat it knowingly, and the local people complain even more.
African impression 3: Why do the Chinese desperately persuade them to drink?
Westerners have colonized Africa for hundreds of years. Africans’ wine culture is similar to that of Westerners. A glass of whiskey can be used for several hours with constant ice.
And Chinese people drink toasts from time to time, start toasting each other, and toasts become persuasive at a certain time, and finally become drinking;
When the Chinese desperately persuade, they make a high and low sound, guess the wine and make a punch, even high. Shout out;
And Westerners, dim the lights a little bit, enjoy the warmth of wine tasting in tranquility.
The Chinese in the eyes of Africans not only have to drink well, but also persuade others to drink well. Others are not happy if they don't drink it.
Westerners drink more and drink less.
In order to show politeness to the locals in Africa, the Chinese also tried their best to persuade them to drink Chinese spirits such as Moutai, Wuliangye and the like.
Actually, most locals are neither used to drinking Chinese spirits, nor are they accustomed to frequently persuading Chinese people to drink.
African impression 4: Why do some Chinese in Africa complain to each other?
In the impression of Africans, Chinese are not as united as Indians, Japanese, and Koreans.
Most Chinese work hard in Africa by opening stores. Chinese people who open stores in the same city in Africa will hurt their peace because of competition, and some have even developed to the point where they are incompatible and disagreeable.
Nowadays, there are more Chinese companies engaged in engineering in Africa. There are often a few or even ten in a country. In order to contract projects, Chinese companies not only compete fiercely with foreign companies, but also among Chinese companies.
Those Africans who work in taxation, customs, immigration, quality inspection and other departments don’t understand,Why do Chinese people keep reporting Chinese people? Chinese companies accuse Chinese companies of violating the law.
The bargaining and digging of walls among peers have harmed the overall interests of the Chinese, worsened the business environment of the Chinese in Africa, and damaged the image of the Chinese.
What’s more weird is that in some places, two Chinese people in two units even meet. If they meet passers-by, they rarely greet them. ", but a little bit "enemies met with jealousy" feeling.
African impression 5: TCM acupuncture is amazing!
Africans admire the flexibility of the Chinese.
Especially Chinese acupuncture is magical in the eyes of Africans.
Put a few needles on the body here and there, and the pain disappeared inexplicably.
Some Chinese have been in Africa for a few years, from businessmen who walk, ride buses, ride bicycles, and ride motorcycles to buy and sell, and finally become big bosses driving "BMW" and "Benz".
African impression six: Chinese people’s hard work is unbelievable
In order to make money, Chinese people are willing to do everything, they can do everything, and they can eat all the hardships.
Africans really can’t understand the ascetic working attitude of the Chinese. They don’t know where the Chinese people are and what they are enjoying.
As long as it is Saturday, Sunday and other holidays, the locals will rest and be immobile.
Black shops are closed, white shops are closed, Indian and Pakistani shops are closed, and only Chinese shops are still open.
Chinese people in Africa open shops, restaurants, factories, and projects. There are almost no weekends and holidays. They go to work earlier than the locals and leave later than the locals. They often work overtime at night.
Those Chinese workers abroad are too hard-working.
The kind of suffering you can never imagine in China.
On such a hot day, there is no place to stay, just work on the construction site.
Many Chinese work 7 days a week, more than ten hours a day.
Come back at night, that is, stay in the container without entertainment.
When I was most nervous, I was pulled to the scene to work at 5 o'clock before dawn, and I came back at 11 o'clock in the evening.
Repeatedly, the machine is the same.
There is no entertainment, no source of information. The only fun every day is to calculate how many dollars are earned today and how much the child’s tuition fee is still poor.
However, if you want a black man to work overtime, he is unwilling to a thousand and unwilling to 10,000.
In their view, development is not the last word, making money is not the last word, leisure is the last word, chic is the last word, and happiness is the last word.
And working overtime is commonplace for Chinese people, and there is even no extra pay.
Although many countries in Africa are poor, African blacks have very different attitudes to work from Chinese people.
We haven't implemented weekends for many years, and Africa has implemented weekends a long time ago.
Even if you leave work ten minutes late, Africans will ask you for overtime wages. If you don’t pay, they will probably take you to court.
Even though overtime wages are much higher than usual, blacks are unwilling to work overtime. They should fully enjoy the opportunities and rights granted to them by law to be leisure, chic and happy.
Many Africans admit that the Chinese are very hardworking and hardworking, so China quickly became rich.
But speaking, admire and admire, they will never learn from the diligence of the Chinese.
Many people even think that the Chinese people's hard work to make money like this is incredible and not worth it.
Some Africans even think that the Chinese have become working machines.
They said: Is labor the only purpose of life?
Everyone has the right to pursue happiness,So what is the happiness of these Chinese who invade Africa?
Is labor the only thing these Chinese enjoy?
Some Africans said: "Why is China developing so fast? Is it necessary? Isn't it okay to slow down a bit and let everyone be more casual, more chic, and more happy?"
African impression 7: The high efficiency of the Chinese is amazing.
Chinese people build houses and open factories in Africa at twice, three times or even several times faster than the locals.
The new building of the Chinese Embassy in Zimbabwe was completed in just over two years.
The embassy driver said in admiration, “It’s incredible. Even if this project is completed in 10 years, it will still be the fastest in Zimbabwe .”
Africans today have a new perspective on the Chinese.
In the past, Chinese were good friends and poor friends in the eyes of Africans.
However, now more and more Chinese who are invading Africa are succeeding. Many people have become tycoons from small businessmen and hawkers, and wage earners have become investors.
In high-end shops in Africa, it is often the Chinese who make big money and spend big money;
In the places of historical interest in Africa, many of them are Chinese;
is a five-star hotel in Africa Most of the people who eat and drink in the mountains and the sea are Chinese.
The Chinese have no money, who has money? !
Because of this, the Chinese Embassy receives a large number of help letters every day. Those who hope to provide tuition subsidies, those who request medical subsidies, and those who hope to provide employment or study opportunities in China, seem to be local charities. Institutional.
African impression 8: Chinese goods are mostly fake and inferior
Nowadays, Chinese goods are overwhelming in Africa.
For example, the retail industry in Zimbabwe was originally mainly run by Indians and Pakistanis.But they can't compete with Chinese businessmen, and the leading players in the retail market have become Chinese.
Local businessmen in Zimbabwe are also increasingly reselling goods from China. Zimbabwe sells Chinese goods everywhere, especially on street stalls and weekend markets. Almost all Chinese goods are sold.
Many Chinese products are indeed cheap and good quality, such as Huawei telecommunications products, Lenovo Group computers, Chinese-made mobile phones, cameras, bicycles and so on.
But more are cheap and not beautiful , and even cheap and not beautiful products.
The plastic spoon for stirring coffee, stirring and stirring, the spoon disappeared, and it melted in the coffee.
Once, a Chinese delegation visited Zimbabwe. The place they went was suitable for wearing sandals. The embassy sent someone to help them buy them. The leaders of the embassy repeatedly urged the handlers to pay attention to the quality.
I bought the sandals without any problems at all, but the comrades of the delegation only wore them on their feet for an hour or two. The soles and uppers of several people were separated, which made people very embarrassed.
Some children in Zimbabwe yelled "Golden Bell!" "Golden Bell!" when they saw the Chinese.
"Golden Bell" means fake and shoddy.
Originally, "Golden Bell" was a brand of light bulbs made in China. Later, someone branded this brand to fake it, and they bought it back. After using it a few times, the bulb broke.
Thus, "Golden Bell" was used by Zimbabweans to refer to counterfeit and shoddy goods.
African impression 9: Chinese men are hardworking and motivated, and many African girls want to marry Chinese men.
As Chinese people get richer and richer, there is a significant increase in Africans who want to marry Chinese people.
The Zimbabwe National Defense Forces Commander Qi Wen Jia Jiang’s son was studying in Malaysia,We got married with a girl from Qingdao.
The commander and his wife were too happy to close their mouths.
Mrs. Commander repeatedly praised that Chinese girls are not only beautiful in appearance, but also beautiful in heart.
According to the British " Times " report, Africans believe that Chinese men are hardworking and progressive, and many Tanzanian girls want to marry Chinese men. The serious attitude of Chinese men towards relationships and marriage fascinated local girls.
In some parts of Africa, the competition for African girls to marry Chinese men is fierce, because there are many local girls with the same ideas.
In order to compete, some girls apply whitening cream imported from Congo, but even so, some girls still lack confidence.
An African girl said that they are willing to "marry a "white" person.
In our eyes, Indians and Chinese are "white" people.
African girls prefer Chinese men because Chinese men work harder and have more dedicated feelings. Marrying Chinese men is the dream of local girls, but there are too few Chinese men in Africa.
In Africa, it is not difficult to see local girls chasing Chinese men.
Especially in some public places, enthusiastic black girls take the initiative to talk and laugh with Chinese men, but Chinese men are relatively restrained.
As local Chinese are cautious about transnational marriages, although some Chinese will find local girls as friends, few people actually marry local girls as wives and achieve transnational marriages.
African impression ten: Chinese people have weak legal awareness and disrespect local African customs
Although Africa as a whole is lagging behind other parts of the world, including China, it is affected by colonial rule and Africans do things We must find a legal basis.
Many countries in Africa still follow the laws brought by the colonists. Almost all the current laws are imported from Britain and France intact.
For example, in Cameroon , the Northwest Region and Southwest Region were originally British colonies, and the legal system here is still British;
The other eight regions were originally French colonies, and the legal system there used France of.
The first thing Chinese come to Africa is to be familiar with the local laws, so as to avoid passiveness and losses caused by violation of the law in the course of business operations.
When legal and reasonable are in conflict, Africans often choose legal, while many Chinese in Africa choose reasonable.
For example, in China, some companies do not sign contracts with their employees, do not have any insurance, and dismiss employees at will. This is commonplace and people are used to it.
The business owner has something wrong and he is used to using money to settle everything.
Some Chinese moved this set to Africa.
For example, employees do not sign contracts; do not pay various insurances; wages are lower than the minimum guaranteed wages stipulated by the country where they are located; forced employees to work on holidays; do not pay overtime pay for overtime work; dismiss workers at will.
This led to conflicts with local employees, which led to lawsuits.
In Africa, ordinary people know how to use the law to protect their rights.
In some countries in Africa, even if the Chinese embassy has a good reason to dismiss a local employee, it must go through the corresponding procedures, not to mention ordinary Chinese-funded enterprises.
Some Chinese-funded enterprises in Africa sometimes suddenly receive subpoenas from the local courts. In most cases, the company failed to verify the legal procedures to dismiss employees or was caught by the law in their operations. The defendant went to court.
Impressions of Africans 11: Some Chinese are very uncivilized
Africans treat some Chinese in large courts with drinks, smoking, loud noises, quarrels, fights, spitting, and dumping garbage Uncivilized phenomena such as shirtless taking to the streets, not queuing, and not observing the priority of ladies are very disgusting.
African primitive,But not ignorant;
Africans are not rich, but many people maintain the white traditions, and official activities must be suits and ties. No matter how poor, the clothes will be ironed neatly, and the shoes will be shiny.
Many Africans living in the city are as particular as whites. They must have a urinal in their bathroom (many Chinese mistakenly think it is a urinal), and the clothes are ironed neatly after washing.
Africans are simple, but very polite. They greet people when they see them, even if they are strangers, they still say "hello" and "good night" with a smile on their faces.
If you meet an acquaintance, they will take off their hats before shaking hands with you.
Chinese people are only used to greeting acquaintances.
So when Africans took the initiative to say hello, many Chinese didn't say anything.
Over time, many Africans met Chinese and never said hello anymore.
In some public places in Africa, the locals deliberately printed out "Don't smoke" reminders in Chinese and posted them on the walls.
Because, indeed, there are Chinese people who are addicted to cigarettes, and they smoke regardless of smoking in public places where smoking is prohibited.
In 2002, a Chinese passenger returned from Ethiopia on an Ethiopian flight. He refused to listen to the warning of the flight attendants and insisted on smoking. Not only was he fined, but he was also detained for a week at Bangkok Airport in Thailand.
At the airport in Johannesburg, South Africa, a few Chinese female migrant workers were eating melon seeds in the terminal. While eating, they threw melon seed shells on the floor.
The black female cleaner at the airport is very respectful. She sweeps while the Chinese civilian worker throws it away. She has no complaints, and will come and sweep it in a few minutes.
so that the surrounding passengers cast strange and uneven gazes from time to time.
In Africa, from time to time I see Chinese people spitting in public places, and then crush them with their feet;
Some Chinese people take off their shoes in the car and hang their bare feet on the front windshield;
Some employees of Chinese companies in Africa do not have haircuts, clothes are not ironed, shoes are not brushed, dishes and chopsticks are not cleaned in time, quilts are not folded, the floor is not cleaned, and tables are not cleaned.It leaves a very bad impression on Africans, as if we Chinese are very sloppy.
Postscript:
China's image in Africa, on the whole, the current image is better than the historical image, the political image is better than the economic image, and the overall image is better than the individual image.
The mainstream impression of the Chinese people in Africa is admiration and admiration. Of course, there is no lack of incomprehension, complaints and expectations.
Although there are some traditional and cultural differences, we must face our strengths and strengths squarely, and strive to change our shortcomings and shortcomings.
Self-esteem, self-love, self-discipline, self-improvement, let people all over the world see high-quality Chinese!
