The weather is getting warmer.
Since returning to Yanjing recently, Li Mu has focused almost all his energy on work. He has left almost all the veterans' immortality project to Liu Xinlin, while all the related work of the American Foundation has been handed over to Apart from Lin Qingya and Elon Musk, he had no involvement in the whole process.
However, although Li Mu did not participate, the American people and the media were particularly enthusiastic about Li Mu's friendly gesture. After all, it had already been foreshadowed by the reunion of the old Flying Tigers. At that time, Li Mu paid the highest respect to all old American pilots. behavior, deeply sought after by the American people.
Later, Li Mu and Elon Musk invested US$10 million to establish the Veterans Never Die-American Charitable Foundation, which sent an extremely friendly signal to the United States.
Although many charitable foundations with the core idea of caring for veterans have sprung up in the United States during this period, in the minds of the American people, Li Mu’s Veterans Immortality Charitable Foundation is the most authoritative and credible one. .
Because of this foundation, Elon Musk became famous in the United States. Before that, Elon Musk only had some influence in the Internet circle and the venture capital circle. Outside of this circle, ordinary Americans simply did not I don’t know who he is, but now, everyone knows that Elon Musk is the founder of PayPal and Li Mu’s partner.
However, when Li Mu gave this gift to Elon Musk, he also offended many of the top wealthy Americans. These people had originally offered Li Mu an olive branch for cooperation, but Li Mu simply rejected them and then chose Cooperating with Elon Musk, who is more than one level worse than them, is an offending thing in itself.
Li Mu doesn't care about offending others. What he cares about is maximizing his own interests. Cooperating with Elon Musk may have offended a few big bosses who hoped to get their hands on "Veteran Immortality", but it got Li Mu back a lot of unusable numbers. Generalized interests.
For example, Elon Musk has officially become Li Mu’s disciple and a member of Li Mu’s ecosystem;
For example, because Elon Musk is not well-known in the United States, when the Veterans Never Die-American Charitable Foundation was established, Li Mu was not robbed of his halo by Elon Musk. If he cooperated with Bill Gates , then the situation is completely different. The American people are likely to respect Bill Gates even more. Correspondingly, the halo they can obtain will be greatly squeezed;
For another example, thanks to the establishment of the foundation, Makino Technology has now become the most popular foreign-funded enterprise in the United States. In the eyes of Americans, Makino Technology is not only a high-tech enterprise that changes human traditional social interaction, but also a company that continues to contribute to society. A great company that exports positive energy;
There is another phenomenon that has shocked the whole world, something that even Li Mu had not thought of before, and that is: an internationally authoritative American public opinion polling company has released incredible data: In recent months, Americans’ views on China have The favorability score has skyrocketed, from 20% to an astonishing 55%!
The past few years have been the strongest period of public hostility between China and the United States in the past 20 to 30 years. There are many reasons for this, including the US bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia, the collision in the South China Sea, and the ever-present media Deliberately rendered.
In Li Mu's view, China and the United States will be the two most important economies in the world in the future. It will be an unstoppable situation for the two countries to put aside their prejudices and cooperate for win-win results. However, the demonizing propaganda of China by the American media has a great impact. To a certain extent, it has harmed the interests of Chinese people, which has affected the development of Chinese enterprises in the United States, and also affected the social status of Chinese and Chinese people in the United States, as well as their daily lives.
The number of Chinese and Chinese Americans in the United States is much greater than that of Americans in China, and the racial discrimination in American society has never really subsided. When the overall favorability of the society towards China declines, the number of Chinese living in the United States will increase a lot. Resistance and confusion: some business owners will reject Chinese employees, some ordinary people will reject the Chinese-run service industry, some industries and business alliances will unite to exclude the development of Chinese companies and products in the United States, and so on.
However, with the rapid increase in favorability, the friendly treatment received by Chinese people and Chinese enterprises in American society has rapidly increased. Veterans' survival has made Americans aware of the history of the two countries fighting side by side, and also made Americans realize that Chinese people are not What the American media exaggerates is almost a monster, but it is flesh and blood, sentimental and righteous. Even fifty or sixty years later, the Chinese people have already remembered the help the American Flying Tigers gave to the Chinese people and the sacrifices they made for the Chinese people.
Many Americans and the American media are even publicly reflecting on why the Chinese people are so enthusiastic about helping veterans. Why have the American people never thought about this issue? They only think of veterans every year on Victory Day, but then It just reminds me that the people have never thought about what they should do for these great people.
In contrast, Chinese people donated hundreds of millions of dollars in a short period of time, and more than 10,000 companies actively participated. This amazing data proves the gratitude of the Chinese people.
Therefore, during this period of time, Chinese people in the United States often expressed their emotions on the Internet community. Some people said that during this period, he and his family received unprecedented courtesy in the white community. Almost every neighbor who had almost no communication before He took the initiative to come to the door with small gifts to say hello, and everyone gathered together from time to time for meals, gatherings, and parties. The history of the Flying Tigers became a topic that everyone enjoyed;
Some Chinese students said that it was difficult for them to establish friendships with American students in school before, so in most cases, the Chinese students in the school were in their own group. However, during this period, Chinese students on American campuses began to be influenced by others. All American students are courteous. When many American students see Asian students, they will take the initiative to ask if they are from China. If they get a positive answer, they will take the initiative to extend their hands to show their goodwill to the Chinese students;
A Chinese working in an American company said that he had been somewhat discriminated against and isolated in the company before, but now he has become a very popular person in the company, and Americans often take the initiative to say hello;
According to data released by the Chinese Embassy in the United States, the number of Americans applying for tourist visas to China has increased by more than 20 times compared with the same period last year. A large number of Americans gathered together hoping to travel to China, and the explanations they gave basically all Because I saw the documentary about veterans who survived, I especially wanted to go to China to see it.
In addition, many American non-governmental organizations are contacting the Veterans Immortality Foundation, hoping to start some non-governmental exchanges.
For a time, people-to-people exchanges between the two countries reached the highest peak in history, which gave the Chinese government a huge surprise.
For a long time, the Western world has been conducting demonizing propaganda against China. This has both the motive of dividing ideological camps and the purpose of curbing China's economic development. At present, China's economy is taking off and is spreading globally. In order to seek a larger market within the scope, the West naturally hopes to add resistance to China's westward economic expansion by demonizing China.
Now, the government's many years of efforts have been shattered to pieces by Li Mu's series of combined punches.
In addition to the increasing favorability of China among people around the world, what is more interesting is the huge change in another Asian country in the eyes of the West.
The Japanese government is really struggling at this time. A Japanese chaebol is so clever that he wants to promote the spirit of Bushido through the filming of "The Last Samurai". This has attracted countless gangsters for Japan around the world. It has not only reduced the spirit of Bushido to the world. The same extreme thoughts that are despised by Japan have also greatly reduced the favorability of people around the world towards Japan.
You must know that when Li Mu hacked "The Last Samurai", the examples that the navy took out on the Internet were all the unforgivable crimes committed by Japan during World War II. With the exposure of these histories, the world has a good impression of Japan. A sharp decline is inevitable.
Unexpectedly, before Japan could recover from the extremely bad influence of "The Last Samurai", Li Mu immediately patched up Japan's international image, which was riddled with holes.
This knife is naturally the Veterans Immortality Charitable Foundation.
"Flying Tigers" and the Veterans' Immortality Project have moved the world with positive energy, but behind this move, there is a history that everyone knows well, and that is Japan's treatment of China and the entire country during World War II. Asian aggression.
Why are there these veterans who deserve respect
Isn’t it because of the aggressive war launched by Japan
Why did the Chinese people donate hundreds of millions of dollars to veterans who participated in the Anti-Japanese War in 1937-45
Isn't it because Japan invaded China at that time, and these veterans rose up to resist
Why did Chennault of the United States organize a Flying Tigers team to fight in China, and is it still respected and appreciated by the Chinese people
Isn't it because the Flying Tigers were the righteous troops who helped China resist the invaders
There is now a craze around the world looking for living veterans of World War II. Isn't it because of the aggressive wars launched by Japan, Germany, and Italy against innocent countries
Speaking of the Axis powers in World War II, Italy is a joke. No one hates Italy because they failed to actually harm many people back then. The only ones left are Germany and Japan. Although Germany also committed countless crimes, The key people have been repenting and atonement over the years, and have never covered up the crimes they committed. Germany has continuously apologized, compensated, and repented for so many years. Most of the countries that Germany invaded have chosen to forgive, but only Japan. It has never reflected directly on its war crimes. Instead, from the government to the private sector, there have been all kinds of excuses, lies and sophistry. Therefore, when people all over the world began to commemorate the veterans of World War II, Japan naturally became the target of public criticism.
According to the results of polls around the world, the friendliness of the people of their own countries towards Japan has dropped sharply. Even in countries that have not been invaded by Japan, people still expressed their great dissatisfaction with Japan during the survey out of a sense of justice. disappointment.
The Japanese government and people sadly discovered that they, who once enjoyed an excellent reputation around the world, suddenly became the most popular among people in the world because of "The Last Samurai", "Flying Tigers", and the "Veterans Immortality Charity Foundation". One of the disappointed groups.
The Japanese people feel that Li Mu is responsible for half of Japan's international reputation today. Among the three major factors that have damaged Japan's international reputation, "The Last Samurai" has nothing to do with Li Mu, but "Flying Tigers" was a co-production between Li Mu and Hollywood. , so Li Mu accounts for half, and the Veterans Immortal Charity Foundation was created by Li Mu, so Li Mu accounts for all, which adds up to one and a half of the three.
But they would never have dreamed that Li Mu actually took possession of all three of them. Through various operations of openly building plank roads and secretly constructing warehouses, Li Mu made a subversive change in the attitude of the people of the world towards China and Japan. !
2018 is coming soon. I wish all readers and friends good health and all the best in the new year. I hope everyone can harvest their careers and happiness in 2018!
