Many years ago, Mr. Li Guangyao once commented on the Chinese: the design of any system, even the system set up by the world's top universities and elites, cannot stand the ruin of the Chinese, because the Chinese are the best at drilling through the hole. Even a perfect system is still untenable.
He dismissed all the changes and efforts China has made in education over the years, describing only the Chinese as a kind of people who are full of holes and holes. At the same time, he overestimates the law, like a spider web, can stop mosquitoes flies, but can not stop flying stones.
Although Mr. Li Guangyao's remarks are somewhat biased, is there any reason for what he said?
Some Chinese, and even say, some of China's elite, if they put their behavior and habits abroad, how will they be treated?
Just a few days ago, a rethinking report was written on the British media Dailymail:
Dailymail: Chinese students speeding Lamborghini, driving at 208 km / h, was revoked driver's license.
The Chinese student, Hmou, drove the $400000 Lamborghini at the speed-limiting 80km/h in Sydney's Bondi Junction district, driving the 208km/h faster than speed and passion. His driving speed once exceeded the limit of 128kmm2, this speed, I'm afraid even the helicopter can not catch up with him.
The Chinese young man's driving speed can only be described by the word "gallop", and after seeing the police, he did not mean to slow down at all. After Lamborghini passed, the police glanced at the speedometer in their hands, 208kmhm! After flickering the lights and whistling warnings, the police finally stopped the Chinese student, who was frantically speeding, and faced severe questioning from the police. H just kept saying, "I'm 39 sorry."
This time speeding brought him a $3000 ticket, and revoked his license for three years, and for three years he would not want to touch the wheel again. Not only that, but he received a court subpoena from Waverly Court, but the brother. Not twice!
It was beyond the patience of the court, who issued a warrant for his arrest and kept him in prison for a night.
According to Dailymail, the yellow Lamborghini, a 27-year-old Sydney college student, was a wedding present his father gave him four days ago, and did not expect the luxury car to come in less than four days ago. The birthday present sent him to the station.
In Australia, there are not as many surveillance cameras on the roads as China, more police driving law enforcement, H and other people just seize this "won't be caught" gap, violation of the law, get the pleasure of the heart.
Some may say that young people are arrogant and cannot deny the Chinese completely because of this. But what we see is that, not only young people, but also many older people, there are still such practices of breaking the law and not abiding by the law.
The Chinese lack the right of way
The year before, such a tragedy struck the Chinese circle in the United States. A family of four from China, on the Arizona Highway in the United States, suffered a tragic self-driving trip. In the course of their journey, they were killed by the Dallas Bulls publicity bus, the car tumbled and deformed, the scene was very tragic!
In the accident, a 52-year-old male, Li Guangxiang, 52-year-old female ou Sui-ching (SuiQing Ou), 52-year-old female Bi Fengqin (FengQing Bi), and 19-year-old Li LeTong, (YueTong Li)., were in the car that had been hit without skin. At the time, 52-year-old Li Guangxiang was driving with his family on the highway, and as he drove to a fork in the road, an obvious sign appeared in front of the road, which read "STOP". Unfortunately, Li doesn't know what this "STOP" means. It means that the side-to-side vehicles have priority.
As a result, with the habit of "death squads" driving in China, Li Guangxiang did not even want to "break through" the right of way prompt. Unexpectedly, as he turned left, he was hit by a bus coming horizontally. Li Guang-hsiang's car tumbled on the ground several times with a strong impact, killing four people on the spot.
In China, signs with the words "let" and "stop" can also be seen on most roads. On the rules of traffic, they also indicate that similar signs should be given up. But who would really do so?.
If the law awareness of ordinary people is not strong enough, self-discipline is not efficient enough, then let's look at the so-called Chinese elite.
A large number of overseas high-tech students have made a profit by drilling short.
Yan Fei, 31, graduated from MIT with a post-doctoral (PhD). After graduation, he remained in school and served as a laboratory researcher in quantum mechanics.
Yan Fei can be regarded as a social elite, right? His wife, Wang Monroe, graduated from Harvard Law School and worked for a prominent law firm in New York. The couple can be regarded as the best of people, although not a sharp point, but also a lot higher than the average person.
However, such an elite couple was fined $52,000 by the US authorities for breaking the gap in American law! 12-18 months in prison! Repatriate immediately after completion of sentence!
Wang Monroe, who graduated from Harvard, successfully entered a well-known local law firm. Last year, the law firm was in charge of Sibanye Gold Ltd., a big case: South African mining company. Plans to pay $2.2 billion for Colorado mining company Stillwater Mining Co.!
After learning of the deal, Yan began to make his own calculations. In June 2016, Yan opened an account with a brokerage firm under the name of his mother, transferred money from his account and began buying Stillwater shares. And, Fei Yan called the broker and his wife several times in the months before the acquisition.
On Nov. 22, 2016, a few hours after Yan Fei's wife took part in a conference call in connection with the deal, Yan Fei's brokerage account bought a large number of call options for Stillwater shares. After that, while learning from his wife about the deal, Yan continued to buy call options until the deal was officially announced.
Until Dec. 9, 2016, in the minutes after the announcement, Stillwater shares rose more than 30 yuan per share, Yan Fei suddenly short of all Stillwater call options! Profit is about $109420!
And just three days before the public announcement of the acquisition, Yan Fei took the field "how does the SEC (SEC) discover abnormal transactions" as a field, and conducted a large number of searches on the Internet! For example, he browsed through an article, "do you want to do insider trading?" Don't be too obvious, "he also visited a web page on Wall Street regulators" on insider trading testing and enforcement, "as well as SEC's" internal trading enforcement actions and the international dimension, "as well as various" mergers. " Acquisition process, etc.
The move immediately attracted the attention of the United States police, the United States authorities seriously suspected the use of internal information trading!
On October 30, 2017, Yan Fei dressed in a suit, accompanied by his wife and lawyer, appeared in New York.
Prosecutors have accused him of "trading with inside information before the acquisition is announced to the public." . He felt deeply guilty about his actions, especially his trust in his wife. At the same time, he said voluntarily waived a range of rights, including appeals, acquittal and so on. According to Yan Fei's plea agreement with prosecutors, Yan Fei's illegal acquisition of $ one hundred and twenty thousand will be confiscated and a further $55,000 fine will be imposed. And her wife's lawyer's license is now frozen.
The American dream of studying elites came here as a complete over, and what caused this series of lamentable tragedies was their idea of "hollowing through the hole".
But the self-destructing elites, not just these two.
In May last year, US media revealed that Wang, a student at Hood International Business School in Cambridge District, Massachusetts, took the TOEFL test instead of three students, Zhang, Huang and Cheng.
The three students paid Wang nearly $7000 for the exam!
After Wang students took the TOEFL exam instead of three students, their scores were used by their accomplices to apply to universities in the United States: students surnamed Zhang were admitted to Northeastern University; students surnamed Huang were admitted to Penn State University; Cheng students have been admitted to Arizona State University; all three are top-ranked schools in the United States!
The four students are currently arrested in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Arizona. They will face up to five years in prison, three years of post-release surveillance, plus a $250000 fine, and will be repatriated after serving up to five years in prison on charges of "conspiracy to defraud the U.S. Government".
This is not the first time for a similar test to cheat or find a gunman for the exam!
In 2015, the U.S. Department of Justice accused 15 Chinese students of paying for the SAT exam.
Related reports were later found many "representative examination events" …
What do you mean, "pick up a stone and hit your foot", "self-destruct your future"? what is "smart and wise"? what is "greedy and cheap for a big loss." These words are used in the empty "elite" in a suitable way, clearly has a decent future, but it has to rely on deceitful living …
According to the Milwaukee News Guardian, a 29-year-old Chinese postdoctoral student, Xia Fan, was a visiting scholar in 2016. He joined a research group led by Professor Niu Junjie, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.
As a postdoctoral assistant researcher, Charfan earned an annual salary of $37,000 during her studies.
On Feb. 14, US detectives received a report that they found a fraud by phone posing as the IRS. The source said he had received a call from a member of the IRS who claimed to be a member of the IRS, in which he was told that he had $4987 in tax arrears and that he would be arrested if he did not pay off immediately.
The "staff" told him that under the IRS and Target supermarket agreement, he could use the Target gift card to pay the tax.
So, the man rushed to buy two $2000 and $987 Target gift cards, and gave the card number and activation code to the "IRS staff" on the other side of the phone.
After the call, he pondered over and realized that he seemed to have suffered a phone fraud. He immediately contacted Target to cancel the gift cards, but Target staff said the cards had been used, and the deceived immediately called the police.
Police, from the supermarket surveillance, "touch" the 2017 new Mercedes-Benz SUV, to the supermarket shopping Xia Fan! And from his apartment, 200 Apple stores worth about $10,000! And Google Store Gift Card! And these 200 cards have been scraped off the safety strip.
Parents painstakingly cultivate the money and time, all wasted! More than ten years of hard work in the cold window, so abandoned, buried by their own hands, the result is really sad.
Can't the Chinese abide by the law? Is it hard to say that the Chinese are really as unteachable as Mr Li Guangyao?
It is wrong to say so. In fact, every Chinese people have laws and rules in their hearts. Unfortunately, many people do not think about how to abide by it, but how to break through it.
The "return door" that shocked the United States
Because breaking through the rules can be profitable, and in a profit-making environment, compliance with the law is a clear loss.
Ju Jia said this: when we know too much about the Western world, but we know too little about ourselves, so much so that all the vision and blueprint are based on a land that can not be integrated.
This sentence refers to the Chinese people's habitual holdout behavior.
Remember that Amway just entered the Chinese market, triggered a famous "return door" event.
Just entered China Amway, all systems are based on its design in Europe and the United States as the standard. According to Amway rules in the United States, products are returned "for no reason in full": for any reason, if the customer is not satisfied with the use of the product, even if one bottle of shower gel is used without a drop, as long as the bottle is still there. You can get a full refund at Amway-pay attention, oh, it's a full refund!
The system, which has long been in force in the United States, has been a symbol of Amway's reputation and brand, with minimal returns. In China, however, shrewd Chinese quickly hit Americans in a "distinctive" way: many Chinese went home to pour half of the fresh Amway dishwasher, the detergent, and then use half-empty bottles. Even empty bottles ask for a full refund.
With the return of goods with empty bottles more and more customers, finally let Amway achieve a daily refund of up to 1 million yuan, but also three hundred thousand yuan product upside-down! Many Americans still don't understand why they are proud of Harvard's state-of-the-art institutional system, hailed as a "perfect and impeccable set of incentives," on this magical soil of China. A Waterloo fiasco?
The reason, in the final analysis, is that they do not understand the Chinese people's ability to exploit the void. To put it mildly, there are many unruly people in every territory. Unfortunately, the Chinese base is relatively large.
In the writings of the late American writer Arendt, French social psychologist Le Pen, there is a group of people in the real world: the mob.
The Age of the mo
They did not commit any injurious crime, just for their own small cheap, or blindly follow the public, and the final result is the whole community of chaos, greater ugliness, to the entire society caused great damage! The real culprit could not be found among them, for each of them was not a great villain. Arendt therefore also called it "mediocre evil."
In fact, this "mediocre evil" phenomenon is common to the Chinese people, large and small events, large and small, just around you and me, that is, you and I each tacitly small tricks. But such small tricks seem harmless and elegant, but in fact cast a shadow over the image of the Chinese people in the world, making people in many countries (including some developing countries) think that the Chinese are a group of unruly mob, China, It is a society without rules.
It is gratifying that such a phenomenon is gradually changing, with fewer and fewer overtaking on the roads, fewer and fewer people jumping in front of the supermarket in the morning to buy discounted goods, thanks to the efforts of overseas Chinese. Our image in the eyes of the world is also gradually changing, but also gradually gaining the respect of the world.
Abiding by the rules, abiding by the law is the basic quality of everyone, and if everyone drills the hole, it must be drilled more and more. We hope that the belief in "abiding by the rules" will become more and more advanced, that fewer and fewer people will be able to do what they can do, and why we can't do it.
