African sequelae

Think about the lasting impact and sequelae of staying in Africa for several years. First, my skin has darkened, and my skin is not whitening even after using whitening products for several weeks. Yesterday, I posted it on Moments on a whim. My friends’ first reaction was, how can I be so tanned? I laughed. In Africa, I just put on some sunscreen and never thought of holding an umbrella, because Lao Hei never held an umbrella. Even if it rained, he would wrap himself in a garbage bag and walk on the street, walking leisurely and contentedly, not like We walked in a hurry. The most impressive thing is that on New Year's Day in 2017, we drove from Ndola to Kitwe to eat Chongqing hot pot to celebrate New Year's Day. In some small towns we passed along the way, we saw many old black people walking slowly and talking. Some shouted excitedly, feeling that the pouring rain was a continuation given to them by God. They never expected to get gonorrhea, or maybe their natural hedonism and enjoying the moment made them never think about the consequences of getting sick. It wasn't until I returned to China that I realized that I was an outlier if I didn't hold an umbrella, so I slowly started to hold an umbrella again. Today when I was scrolling through Moments, I saw the owner of Hunan Xiangwei Restaurant posted a photo of a one-year-old little Hei walking without shoes, lamenting the happiness of Chinese children. Indeed, there is a huge gap between rich and poor in Africa. Children from poor families have been begging for food at traffic lights on the streets with their mothers since childhood. Because abortion is not allowed in Africa, they have to give birth to a child regardless of their ability to experience it. During those days in Africa, I used to put our endless meals, bread, drinks, etc. in the car, and roll down the window to give them to them at every traffic light. They gradually remembered my license plate number. They flocked to me as soon as they saw me. My sister laughed at me and said, you have raised a bunch of gangsters and you are their boss. Some time ago, I heard that Chinese contraceptive pills had entered the LSK market, and the government required strict investigation. After all, this would subvert their regulations and even their beliefs. After all, they have been going to church since childhood to be baptized and edified. Thinking about some things, having faith is also a good choice. I regret that I have never really been to a church in Africa for so many years, let alone listened to them worship. If I have the chance, I would like to visit. After all, faith makes you not afraid and has hope.

In addition to some external influences, in fact, thoughts have also been exaggerated to some extent. China has aided Africa with US$60 billion, and Jack Ma has sponsored US$10 million for South African entrepreneurs to develop e-commerce platforms. Although the friendship between China and Africa is getting better and better, I left and returned to China. Over the years, my thinking has become somewhat slow while I am abroad, because China's information age is really changing day by day. From WeChat payment, ***bike sharing, Didi Taxi, ***car, credit points and so on, fortunately my learning ability is not too bad and I caught up quickly. But for the development of domestic brands, it is not difficult to find that they are all taking the international route. When you go into a large shopping mall, all international chain brands are stationed. Even the domestic brands are written with Chinese and English translations, and some even cannot see any Chinese. . Although English education is now highly valued, even starting with prenatal education, some older people may not be able to understand it. In addition, from the previous abstract and complex name to the current simple and crude name. No wonder all the plans the day before yesterday were rejected. They say I am artistic, but in fact I am out of date. I need to pick up all this staff again so that I don't live like a joke.

Last night I was with J’s colleague, the fat man from Taishan and the Huizhou girl he was chasing. There are two major inconveniences in life in Shenzhen: queuing up for meals and queuing up for parking. Yesterday, the order was called at 6:30, and I didn't go in to order until after 8:00. It was almost 9:30 when I finished eating. Tom Yum Gong, a Thai dish opened by a Chaoshan family. When we came out after finishing our meal, there were still two tables of people waiting, which showed how popular it was. But the food is okay, it has a bit of a Thai taste. Chaoshan and Wenzhou people are the best at doing business. Korean barbecue, Japanese food, Thai massage, Italian food, and German food in Africa are basically all opened by people of that nationality coming to Africa. Some of them are due to the shortage of ingredients, but they still retain their flavor.

I packed up my things this morning and started moving mode. I made three trips back and forth to the seventh floor, and J made four trips. It was already past 2:30 in the afternoon when we had dinner after moving our things to the new residence. I had Chaoshan Fried Beef River, it was delicious. Then we set off for Huizhou.

J made an appointment to play football with his friend from Huoshan. He originally called last week, but it was really fast and everyone was here this week. It’s not far from Shenzhen to Huizhou, and because of this, housing prices in Huizhou are soaring. I arrived at 5:30 in the afternoon and went shopping in the supermarket. They were there at 6:30. The girls and I didn’t seem to have the same language, so I didn’t go to the steam room with them and just stayed in the car in a daze. Although I don’t really like being in an environment where I don’t understand Hakka, I still learn to be silent sometimes.

In the song "Want to Cry", Lin Xi wrote a lyric:

"If nothing happens, it turns out to be the cruelest revenge."

Next time When I encounter someone who is unhappy, I try hard not to write it on my face, but to give them a smile.
