Friends who have been to Germany in recent years, please tell me, are China people discriminated against in Germany? Is it popular?

In recent years, the treatment of China people in Germany is similar to that in Africans in China, but through the Olympic Games, China's national strength has been enhanced and discrimination has been basically eliminated.

In Germany, a non-immigrant country, many towns are almost white. Even in Berlin, known as "the most diverse metropolis in Europe", Asians are not so common. In the streets and subway cars, I often see blonde ladies and gentlemen, secretly or openly looking at my oriental face.

During the Christmas holiday, I visited my aunt in southern Germany. She has lived in Germany for more than ten years and worked as a doctor in a small town in Bavaria, which is famous for its conservatism. Talking about her feelings in Germany, she said that she has never felt accepted by the white German society-although her family has been naturalized in Germany, both children are good students in the class, and both husband and wife have high-tech jobs with good incomes. They are a fairly good middle class in Germany, but they always feel that they are regarded as foreigners in their dealings with Germans.

She is the only Asian in the Bavarian town where my aunt works. From time to time, patients chased her in the corridor and asked her where she came from. Some Germans even think that they must be engaged in service jobs such as "sweeping the floor" or "washing dishes" without a high diploma when they see the faces of Asians. Most of them can't believe that an Asian middle-aged woman can be a doctor in Germany.

Once, my uncle was shopping and met the parents of their children's classmates, pulling up the family. She asked, "Why haven't you seen your wife recently?" My uncle told her that I just found a job recently, but the hospital is far from home, and I usually go home on weekends.

The lady was surprised: "She's going to work so far away? Why not work in the hospital in this town? There are many vacant positions there. " This confused my uncle: "She asked, but others said no!" The lady shook her head: "No, I know, they need a lot of cleaners there!" " "

My uncle laughed and cried: "You misunderstood, my wife is a doctor." Hearing this, the lady showed a surprised expression on her face.

"This has happened many times." When my aunt talked about it, there was a trace of indignation and helplessness. "When I first arrived in a small town in Bavaria, I found a place in the town and went to a German home to watch the house. That's a basement. The lady said it was ok to rent her house, but on condition that all the windows in her house must be cleaned once a month. I said, how did this happen? I'm so busy at work that I don't even have time to clean the windows myself. How can I clean your own window? She said,' You always have time to get off work and weekends!' I said,' I work until late at 7: 00 every morning and go home to reunite with my family on weekends. How can I have time? "

The lady asked doubtfully, "What exactly do you do in the hospital?" My aunt said, "I am a doctor in the hospital!" " After listening to this, the lady took a step back and said with surprise and regret, "Oh, doctor, I'm sorry. I thought your job was cleaning windows! " "

Hearing these little stories, I am also in distress situation. These things are not big, but if they happen again and again, they will also bring a lot of trouble to people. raise one's voice in song

How many Germans are there in China? I don't know, because I haven't counted it and I haven't asked. Anyway, there are more and more China people living in Germany, which can't be wrong.

Seeing a yellow-skinned passerby in the street, I smiled kindly and said, "Hello!" " "If the other party answers" Hello! "So he is from China. Then came a series of questions: "Where did it come from?" "Where do you live?" "For what? "This is a unique way of greeting in China, which is very different from German. Because in their view, how can they ask such thorough questions when they just met? ?

But this problem between China people immediately narrowed the distance between them, and they suddenly became close. This may have something to do with everyone being a wanderer. For everyone living in China, they are "strangers in a foreign land", so when they meet their compatriots, they feel close. Those who went to Germany before liberation and had little chance to go home, this sense of closeness is even stronger.

I have been to many China hotels in Germany. I often meet shopkeepers who come to eat in person after learning that I am from China. Especially in West Germany in the 1960s, there were almost no people sent by the mainland, so the shopkeeper was particularly interested in talking with us and learning about the changes in the motherland. When they mention China, they like to use the word "motherland", which is quite sacred. I was embarrassed to talk speculatively and refuse to accept money after dinner.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. There are also China groups in Germany. Generally speaking, it can be said that the first batch went to Germany for business before and after liberation, and most of them were separated from hotels and the whole family went into battle. The second group is international students, relying on public funds, scholarships or completely at their own expense. The third group is official personnel, who eat "imperial grain" completely.

The first kind of people are relatively the richest. It has been operating for decades, and it is a small family background. Some people have opened several restaurants. But their property was also bought with sweat and dug out with their teeth. Many hotel owners have talked to me about their experience of breaking into Germany for a few dollars or dozens of dollars. They have no rest for 365 days a year, and they are busy until midnight every day. Holidays are very popular in German society, but many of them don't know what holidays are like. These people have lived in Germany for the longest time, so they are the most alienated and want to know about the domestic situation.

The second group is the youngest, but highly educated and easy to accept new things. They know China's national conditions and German society. German officials attach great importance to them, because they will work in important positions in China after returning home. If Germany wants to cultivate "pro-Germans" in China, it is up to them. They are still in the stage of learning and starting a business, so their economic situation is not very good.

The third group works in Germany temporarily, but in cycles. They spent most of their lives together in Germany, far away from their families and relatives, living in difficulties and having the worst economic conditions among the three groups. The first-class ambassador's monthly salary is less than the monthly income of international students, which is far from the treatment of the lowest-ranking diplomat in the US embassy. However, they are conscientious, putting national interests first everywhere, and always remembering that they are the representatives of the new China.

These three groups of people are quite different in social background, historical origin, educational level and age. But there is a very obvious similarity, that is, everyone has an eternal China heart. China has a magnet attraction for them. They drifted overseas, got married and even spent most of their lives, but their roots are always in China, and they always think of China. Living in China may not be a strong feeling, but the longer you stay abroad, the stronger it becomes. There are many examples of this.

In the 1960s, the Treasure Island incident occurred on the Sino-Soviet border, and the situation was very tense. An overseas Chinese businessman rushed to the embassy all the way, took out the German Zeiss factory 10 telescope which had been treasured for many years, and donated it to the soldiers in front, making a modest contribution to defending the motherland. A China person who seems to be busy with his career all day is always concerned about the safety of the motherland.

In the 1970s, I went to a China restaurant on Kant Street in West Berlin for dinner. When the old shopkeeper learned that I was from Beijing, he took the initiative to chat and told him what was in his heart:/kloc-0 came to Germany 949 years ago, and the hotel business was very successful. He married a German wife and had two sons, who studied medicine and law respectively. Now he is married and has a good life. In such a seemingly satisfactory environment, he is increasingly dissatisfied. Germany, which has lived for decades, is still a foreign country for him. He misses his hometown and hopes to return to the mainland for his old age. It seems that the Chinese nation is indeed a very difficult nation to assimilate.

In the 1980s, I attended several symposiums for students studying in China. Participants include public, self-funded and German scholarship winners. Whether they are regarded as "staying" or "making money" in Germany, they all have a common desire: to make China strong. I was deeply moved by their speech. When someone learns of a new technology, he immediately thinks: Does China have it? Someone is studying a new topic, and he will also think: I wonder if it is also being studied in China? A female student even naively imagined that they could use local equipment and knowledge to conduct research and then bring a series of data back to China for use. In a word, everyone feels that they have learned so much abroad, and only when they have played a role in serving the motherland can they be fulfilled in their hearts.

A conversation after that deepened my impression. That was in the 1990s. The other party is a doctoral student at Aachen University of Technology. He is employed by Volkswagen with a monthly salary of about 10000 mark and drives a BMW. He told me affectionately that he wanted to go back to China. After working in Germany for several years, his experience is that it is easy to make money, but difficult to do business, or there is still room for manoeuvre when returning to China. I can really understand his feeling of incompetence.

I cited so many examples at length, just to illustrate a feeling, a feeling gained after meeting many China people living in China: every German has an eternal China heart in his chest.
