"Oh, my God, now this is what's going on in my country?" I don't even know each other. When did the building get up? Hey, you got so many apps in your phones! Ah, I don't have Alipay on my cell phone. How can I transfer money to you? "
Before more than once heard friends who have studied abroad for many years after returning to China issued the above sigh. Indeed, the pace of domestic development in the past few years has surpassed that of foreign countries in an all-round way.
Many of those who went abroad to experience culture shock, now return to their motherland, unexpectedly encounter the impact of the reverse culture of reverse culture shock ().
As a result, this most familiar country, suddenly became very strange.
Though reluctant to admit it, reverse culture shock is much more "terrible" than culture shock.
After returning home, a lot of app are not, no Meituan, no ele.me Baidu takeout Dianping home for dinner, no Didi, fast. A lot of wrong money was spent. The immediate sense of this kind of app unifying the rivers and lakes!
And every time you check out, do you have Alipay? You can have a discount. It's all inside me.
"Shuang12" that day, domestic partners have used Alipay to all kinds of consumption, scan the code to pay 50% discount!
And even if you stay at home, you can also use Alipay to pay water, electricity, gas, network, rent, room, rent, all kinds of mobile phones to "pay success" (finally understand why it is called Alipay).
At the "Internet Light" Expo last year, Xi Jinping stopped at Alibaba's booth for 10 minutes! Ma Yun personally said, "relying on the platform of Alibaba, 8.5 million active sellers were able to provide jet lag-free services to three hundred and eighty five million nine hundred and ninety nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine consumers around the world, truly reflecting the power of consumption!"
And for returning children, the biggest reverse culture shock is nothing more than a change in consumption and payment methods.
App blooms everywhere, a "mobile phone" and a world
When you return home, you can go straight out of the house without having to carry your money, as long as you have a mobile phone,. (OS:, of course, if it's a iPhone or any other phone that consumes a lot of power. Carry a well-charged and full-power portable battery for the best policy.) Even if the cell phone does not have electricity, nothing, draw to "under sign" can also be!
For example, recently friends in Shanghai business trip, mobile phone, portable battery has no electricity, so he no matter how many dozen taxi again, after going in about the place to go. The driver asked, "what way? But friends don't know. The next second, the well-dressed driver pulled the data out of Doraemon's pocket and put it in her hand. A second later, the driver, speaking in Mandarin with a Shanghai accent, said, "the first time I saw you," the driver said, "the first time I've seen you in such a mess," just as I was glad "I'm so awesome!"-so lucky~.
There's nothing to say! The car just charged for a while, Amap found the destination as soon as the search, the smooth arrival! Of course, the direct payment of money this time, because the phone no power, no use of uber, Didi. Even if a friend had no hair at the time, he could continue to take the courage of the brave to reach out to the dark hand of the night, but maybe the driver would complain even more. Because the lack of money is also very simple ah, just ask the driver, whether there is Alipay, WeChat is just … . I wish I could transfer the money to you.
A girl told me, "in a restaurant in the blue harbor of Beijing, I can only use WeChat Pay, other than that, I don't accept payment in any way!" Although the biggest culture shock since foreigners came to Beijing should be "you cannot live in China without wechat," merchants don't have to exaggerate the pace of WeChat. Let me just ask, is WeChat owned by your family? Why? Speaking of "eat", we must have a good talk!
As a Chinese food enthusiast, how to overcome the lack of delicious feelings of loss in the United States? After returning home, I deeply believe that China on the tip of the tongue can probably shoot 10,000 episodes. (please raise your hand at the tip of your tongue.) this is probably the happiest reverse culture shock.
Welcome you are spicy gluten, stinky tofu, lion head, northeast board, Crispy Sugar-Coated Fruit, winter melon lotus leaf stewed old duck.
In North America, you order delivery, but it's probably just the pizza and Chinese restaurants that come back and forth, until you think of what to eat at noon tomorrow. However, after returning home, only then know what "rivers and lakes". The first time with "ele.me", click on the search page, you almost blacked out, can be delivered to a variety of restaurants actually have more than a hundred! If you take a closer look, you will faint out again. A meal of 20 or 30 yuan actually has a subsidy of more than a dozen yuan! I wish I could kneel down and beat the ground, and offer my most sincere apologies to my stomach, which I have been so sorry for so many years. How to describe happiness, it is like a mouse fell into the rice bowl ah! Then they went to Baidu takeout, Meituan, and went home to eat. These Chinese stomachs, who have been suffocated abroad, just want to shout loudly to the sky, "such a reverse culture shock," Please give me a dozen more! " If you are out at dinner with friends, you may want to AA, this time, you will find that you do not have to take out the silver, mobile phone app AA payment just touch it. You don't have to work your brains out to figure out how much per capita.
What were you thinking when you were crossing the street?
After returning home, friends cross the road without looking, or only looking at cars, tricycles and motor vehicles. Once in the middle of the road suddenly changed lights, as if no one went on, the car whizzed over, and then her small hand meant to let him stop for her, unexpectedly for the driver to see! As a result, the driver stopped. I think the driver is also suffering from shock! If you drive on the road when you return home, it will not be easy to drive.
"Why do I have to change course, when the light is on, but the car in the back is rushing up?" "isn't it supposed to be someone? Why is the car in the back dripping me? "
"I will go, the streets are full of tests and side-by-side, ah, who will help me?"
As a result, people all over the street are using Didi, but uber, does not dare to drive easily. In Canada, a few big cities, the vast majority of rural "villagers" rely on cars to go to school to buy food to visit relatives and friends. Therefore, students who are used to driving abroad will inevitably be in pain after returning home. However, one of the most proud things in the country is the developed public transport! Wherever you go, buses are always found, and metro lines in big cities are still expanding.
Although traffic is well developed, if you catch up with the early rush hour and late peak, whether above or below the ground, there is only one result, is: congestion. If you catch the Spring Festival, if the sky and earth do not prepare early, you are ready to tearful eyes. No, the brother is going to be scared away.
Since you returned home, have you become "foreign-minded"? One of the most popular topics on Weibo for the last 24 hours is "University is a cosmetic clinic"-a comparison of a group of freshmen and seniors. In the four years of college, the appearance has soared like a rocket.
In fact, the North American countryside is also a cosmetic, ah, different, their direction is different. When they first came to Canada, the cute girls, who were well-dressed and well-dressed, learned how to wear large T-shirts (printed with the names of various neighborhoods and fast-food restaurants), sports shorts, and underpants after the transformation of the big countryside. A hoodie over the four seasons such a new fashion beauty. Besides, every day, busy homework, cooking, busy drama, there is no time to coax themselves. However, after returning home, I found myself often said, "you look so small", "what a tender face", "still like a college student." When I first heard it, it was cool until I saw a saying: "the reason you are said to be a student is not because you are young, but because of the earth."
Here, three seconds of silence.
However, if T-shirt, jeans and shorts are your most comfortable dress, how can you give up easily? These days, you can't wear anything too much. It's better to follow the fashion than to follow yourself!
"every time I want to dry my clothes, I find that I don't have a dryer at home," he added.
In fact, what floats on the surface is some life habits and thoughts and emotions that last for three or four years, such as popular dress, the language style on the network, the hairstyle of the eighties, the bell-bottomed trousers, once the popular killing Matt. This is a popular, temporary trend.
The influence of the outside world on the human being, causes one layer of thought and emotion to have various degrees of change. Time scraped, planed, dug, and those floating on the surface, like soft alluvial layers, were actually removed with a few shovels. There are more layers below the surface, and the deeper it is, the more stable and important it is.
After returning home, those deeper barriers will expose the differences in spiritual geological patterns and the ensuing strong shocks. The overall cultural atmosphere in North America is inclusive, emphasizing individuality and independent thinking. Reading abroad, whether it is answering questions in class or writing paper,Professor papers, is rarely judged by right or wrong, but rather by affirming the elements of reasonableness in every different view and guiding it where it is not reasonable. And back home, the emphasis on order and unity of the overall cultural atmosphere will cause discomfort. For example, aesthetics: friends abroad fell in love with the healthy complexion of wheat and went to the Bahamas to tan themselves with wheat color. But after returning home, she was laughed at by a female colleague in the office and said, "Why are you so dark?" My friend froze and didn't say a word, so the female colleague thought she had the upper hand and said, "you're so dark, hey, every time you see the tower." Another example is the concept of marriage: returning home at most thinks that you are finally getting rid of your student status and becoming a social person, but the truth is that overseas students find themselves unmarried young people when they return home. Like Feng Tang's "Golden Line," there seems to be a "standard age for marriage" in everyone's mind, and if they are not married, they will be "left". How to say this, can only blame the teacher reading left too much, delayed looking for someone. And this has the fracture, has the shock, but also accompanied by the change, the development and the growth.
You choose an environment, is the choice of its "freedom" and its parallel "bondage". It's like the Internet gives young people a lot of real opportunities, but the entrepreneurial boom isn't as good as you think. If you want to continue using facebook,Youtube, you need to get to the appropriate skills. Above all, you still have a choice. In fact, it does not matter whether "good" or "bad", it is there. Whether or not you come, whether you go, is in "you". Finally: can you get away from your cell phone? In addition to sleeping hours, how much time of the day is able to stay away from electronic devices such as mobile phones? Can you leave your cell phone for a week, or will you die if you leave?
