Because of the arrival of National Geographic Magazine, Lao Wang was always in a beautiful mood when he went to work.
But gradually, his mood became less beautiful, because he found that some people appeared in front of the government. At first, he didn't pay attention, but after a while, more and more people came, and they even blocked the highway.
Worse, he found these people holding signs and holding banners—definitely demonstrating.
New Zealanders like to demonstrate. They will protest when house prices rise because people pay too much to buy a house. They will protest when house prices fall because owners think their money is being robbed.
Lao Wang often saw mass demonstrations in big cities such as Oakley, Wellington, and Christchurch on the news. He did not expect that such a thing would happen in Sunset Town.
Government office workers were already alerted, and a group of people stood watching at the door.
Lao Wang walked out displeased and asked, "What is this for?"
"They're demonstrating," Kidd said, then took out a pair of sunglasses, wiped them, and brought them to his head.
Lao Wang was so angry that his breasts ached. Didn’t Madhu know that this was a demonstration? "Why should I ask you again?"
"Watch them demonstrating," Atulu said.
Wang Bo: “…”
Someone blocked the government gate with a banner that read: Faith has collapsed and dreams have been shattered.
"What are you doing with this horse?" Lao Wang cursed, "Get them all on me and see what's going on. Damn it, isn't this nonsense?"
Hani grinned and said: "Boss, you'd better think about it, have you ever embezzled public funds? Have you ever molested the older girls in the town? Have you been domineering? They are here to oppose you."
Lao Wang really thinks about this seriously. Demonstrations against the ruling team are terrible and will affect his approval rating in future elections.
But he has never done these things. Since becoming the mayor, he has been absolutely conscientious and meticulous. If New Zealand wants to vote for the most serious mayor, then he will definitely give himself a vote.
More and more people gathered, and when he saw the faces of domestic tourists appearing, he suddenly felt a pain in his balls and hurried down to ask what was going on.
He walked to the door, and someone held a sign to signal to him, which read: What can I do to save you and my New Zealand...
A domestic tourist asked: "Why are all these foreigners wearing sunglasses? Do you have to wear sunglasses when holding demonstrations in New Zealand?"
Someone said: "Maybe they think it's cooler to wear sunglasses."
"It's not that it's cool, it's probably that it's uniform and easy to identify."
Chen Luoxian explained: "No, haven't you noticed? White people also wear sunglasses on the road. This is because the pigment in their eyes is lighter, unlike Asians who have darker pigment, so their eyes are transparent. The rate is higher and it is more sensitive to the stimulation of strong light, so you need to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes.”
Even though she was facing a formidable enemy, Lao Wang still gave her a thumbs up. This answer was correct.
Anderson was also demonstrating with his daughter on his shoulders. Lao Wang waved to him and shouted, "What's going on?"
The supermarket CEO shrugged: "It has nothing to do with you, boss. We are demonstrating against the price increase of the country's public transportation, these worms!"
"What's going on? Are you protesting in the town because of the increase in the price of public transportation?" Lao Wang felt a slight pain in his chest again. He was so smart that he couldn't figure out the connection between the two things.
He knew about the recent increase in the price of public transportation in the country. After statistics and research, the New Zealand Transport Authority decided to increase the price of New Zealand's public transportation annually.
The price increase will start on the third Monday in September and all Auckland public transport including trains, buses and ferries will start to adjust prices.
To be more specific, the price adjustment this time is very strong. If you use cash to buy tickets, train tickets, or boat tickets, they will be about 20% more expensive than before.
The Transport Authority has explained the reason for this. New Zealand's overabundance of transport resources has led to waste, and this is to make up for the loss in transport costs.
But what does this have to do with the town? The town doesn’t have its own shuttle bus yet!
So Lao Wang waved to Atulu, and Atulu thought he was being asked to come out to drive away the crowd. He also put on sunglasses, then rolled up his sleeves and rushed out with a domineering step to push the crowd and shouted: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Are you okay with your free time? Go back, everyone goes home..."
Lao Wang grabbed him and said angrily: "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you ask me to drive away the crowd?" the big Maori man said aggrievedly.
Lao Wang scolded: "Fake, your head is full of honey?! I asked you to come over and talk to you, go get me a loudspeaker!"
Atulu was seeking death by doing this. The townspeople knew him too well. Suddenly, the people around him came up to besiege him:
"What do you want to do? There is God above your head. Do you want violent law enforcement?"
"Take a photo of it and post it online to make this guy famous!"
"Maori go away! Falke, you are bigger bugs than politicians!"
Suddenly, the crowd was excited.
Seeing this, Atulu fled, walking farther and farther on the road of cowards.
When he took action just now, Lao Wang knew that things were going to be troublesome. The social conflicts in New Zealand, especially the Communist Party, were both gentle and sharp.
The reason why this conflict has been alleviated is because the government's protection and preferential treatment for the indigenous Maori people are unusual. For example, in terms of language, Maori is the official language of New Zealand like English.
Another example is education. New Zealand’s education system is open to Maori. If Maori want to study for a master’s degree, the government will provide it for free and provide high scholarships. But Maori people generally don’t study because they are too tired to take the postgraduate entrance examination and graduate school...
There is no doubt that in the early days of New Zealand's history, white European colonists used deception and force to seize Maori land and property.
But in this regard, the white people who came to New Zealand were much better off than those who landed in the Americas. The American Indians were brutally killed, their descendants exterminated, and their culture was destroyed. The white government of New Zealand at least signed the Treaty of Waitangi to protect them. Maori and Maori culture.
The reason why the conflict between the two sides is very acute is because whites and immigrants of other races are very dissatisfied with the additional benefits enjoyed by Maori. Take the issue of the increase in public transportation fees as an example. If it is Maori, it is still You can buy original price tickets.
In this way, how can white, black and yellow people be willing to do so
Atulu angered the demonstrators, but Lao Wang was happy because he finally had a chance to fight back.
That's the racial red line.
Western society has its own rules of the game, and some bottom lines that cannot be crossed. Otherwise, it is a symbol of uncivilization, barbarism, and ignorance.
Racial discrimination is the worst kind.
