When the train started again, the Americans on the train looked differently at the Chinese.
Just four years ago, the United States and the Qing Empire just signed the Pu Anchen Treaty, which is the Sino-US Treaty on the Extension of the Treaty of Tianjin. The Pu Anchen Treaty was the first equality treaty signed between the Qing Empire and other countries.
The signing of the Pu Anchen Treaty marks the establishment of a formal friendly relationship between the United States and the Qing Empire. The United States grants the most favored nation treatment to the Qing Empire. The treaty stipulates that citizens of the two countries shall be protected from religious persecution in the territory of the other country. At the same time, both governments respect the freedom of immigration. .
The signing of the Pu Anchen Treaty opened the door for Chinese labor immigration to the United States, and it is also one of the important reasons for the Qing government to send "remaining children" to the United States.
Although the "Pouan Treaty" established the equal status of the United States and the Qing Empire in the form of Western international law, because the Chinese are engaged in heavy physical labor in the United States, the Chinese's social status in the United States is not high, at least as The contributions made by the Chinese in the process of building the United States are not consistent. Because of the diligence and hard work of Chinese people, good management and obedience, and less sensitive salary requirements, many American factory owners or mine owners choose to hire Chinese people instead of Western white people, which makes many Western white people reject or even Chinese people. It is a hostile attitude that the Chinese have taken away job opportunities that originally belonged to them.
Look, some Americans in this period are really similar to some monkeys in Southeast Asia in the twentieth century. When they encounter problems, they never find the cause from themselves, but just blindly push the responsibility to others, it seems The cowardly Chinese who do not care about politics are the best scapegoats.
Therefore, before Li Mu arrived in the United States, most Americans did not have a good attitude towards the Chinese. Even if there were no conflicts of interest and they could not be hostile, many Americans' knowledge of the Chinese probably stayed only in a group of "dirty and smelly" "Cheap labor" level.
And because of the conflict between the eastern and western languages, the social affiliation of the Chinese has further strengthened the gap between the Chinese and the white Western people. Therefore, if there is no accident, about 10 years later, the United States will introduce the "Chinese Exclusion Act", from a legal level. The Chinese are restricted from entering the United States.
When Li Mu learned this fact, Li Mu's ideals began to change.
Originally, Li Mu's ideal was to become the largest dweller in the world, but now, raising Chinese social status in the United States and preventing the United States from passing the "Chinese Exclusion Act" has become Li Mu's top priority.
The introduction of legal documents such as the "Chinese Exclusion Act" against a race is of course a shame for the United States, but it is even more a nightmare for the Chinese currently living in the United States.
Li Mu has made up his mind to break away from the Qing Empire. For his own future consideration, Li Mu will also prevent the United States from passing the "Chinese Exclusion Act."
The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is skinny. Now Li Mu does not have enough strength. It is even more fancy to prevent the United States from passing the "Chinese Exclusion Act". If he wants to achieve his goal, Li Mu has more work to do. do.
For the moment, most of the Americans on the train are ordinary Americans, so before today, these Americans did not look very friendly to the Chinese. Although it can not be so disgusting, ridicule and contempt are inevitable. Yes, especially after the children were crying hungry last night, Li Mu didn't believe that the Americans in the carriage would know nothing, but since they didn't say anything at that time, Li Mu wouldn't pity them now.
After this morning's "crazy meal incident", the Americans in the carriage looked at the Chinese again, and their eyes were not only ridiculed and despised, but also a little bit disgusted and hated, especially for the "culprit" who has been directing Li Mu "The hatred in the eyes is simply undisguised.
Li Mu is very happy about this change. This is not because of Li Mu's abnormality, but because of the hatred that Americans look at the Chinese.
The feeling of hate is much stronger than ridicule. Only when Americans feel physical pain can Americans hate Chinese people. This is different from previous ridicule. If taunting means that the Americans had never faced Chinese people before This reality, then the Chinese can finally make Americans face up to this. This is a change that makes Li Mu satisfied. Although it is not satisfactory, it also represents a small improvement.
People only hate those who have violated their own vital interests but are helpless. If the object is insignificant, such as biting their own mosquito in summer, then it will be just to kill them, and they will have no mood to hate it--
Corresponding to the hatred of Americans, it is the intimacy and admiration that young children look into Li Mu's eyes.
The civilians of the Qing Empire not only bowed their heads to foreigners, they also bowed their heads to the officials of the Qing Empire, so the civilians of the Qing Empire were "third-class nationals."
Prior to this, these "future pillars" of the Qing empire probably never had any idea of "rebellion against the evil". It was a rule for officials from the old man headed by the old man to leave the Yangye Bureau, and it was even more respectful to face foreigners.
Li Mu is actually one of them, but Li Mu dare to fight with old man Chen and dare to grab food from the mouth of foreigners. If the relationship with old man Chen is "rebellious", then he dare to grab food from the mouth of foreigners. , And also successfully grabbed the hand, which makes young children admire endlessly.
It ’s all children. It ’s very soft to take people short and eat. It ’s not too easy to get together.
Just when Li Mu wanted to hit the iron while fighting for the favor of some young children, Mike led the little girl's father just now.
"Rim, this is Mr. Oliveira of the Connecticut State Board of Education. I think there should be a common language between you." After finishing the introduction, Mike blinked at Li Mu very proudly.
"Mr. Oliveira, I'm very happy to meet you." Li Mu immediately became enthusiastic and shook hands with Oliveira as if he had met a long-awaited reunion.
"Rim, I'm glad to meet you--" Oliveira was very uncomfortable in the face of Li Mu's enthusiasm.
Just an hour ago, it was because of Li Mu's momentary kindness that the Oliveira family did not go hungry. Oliveira must not have forgotten so quickly.
So Li Mu is so enthusiastic now, the motive is indeed suspicious.
In fact, Li Mu did not figure out the situation. The Education Bureau in the United States is not the same as the Education Bureau in the Republic of the 21st Century. It is only a service department, not a management department. The entire Education Bureau has only three people. Their tasks are limited to collecting and Organize information about school institutions, management, system and teaching, and then provide the obtained information and results to government agencies and the public in order to further promote the development of education in Kangzhou.
What this Kangzhou Education Bureau looks like is also miserable.
