...

Liu Chen felt a sense of powerlessness when facing Xiao Yue's words.

"I accidentally saw a news online that this year's top scorer in Huizhou seems to be named Liu Chen. This kid is in a small county called Qingzhou. Not only is he awesome, but he has been admitted to the undergraduate class. It's so amazing. I also got the exam from a small county. I know it's a big deal. This guy is really amazing. When I thought at that time, it was a coincidence. You are also named Liu Chen. Do you think this is funny?"

"Where do you tease?" Liu Chen felt that Xiao Yue had a unique sense of humor.

"Isn't this funny? Your name is too ordinary, and you will have a duplicate name at will."

"If you see this No. 1 pick, what do you want to say to him?"

"I want to say that my admiration for him is like the endless river, and like the Yellow River flooding out of control."

"Okay, he has heard it. I'll go to the class first. Remember to come to find me tonight." Liu Chen walked directly to the multimedia classroom. Xiao Yue was stunned for a while before she came back to the taste and murmured to herself: "What do you mean by kid?"

When Zhuoling stood on the podium, it was a little different from private, and it was more solemn. Maybe girls were like this, and it was very different from private.

She was wearing a half-piece white shirt today, with a tube skirt underneath, which set off a very perfect waist curve. The sixteen-year-old girl looked very stylish.

"Hello, classmates, today I will tell you a romantic love story. Let me briefly tell you the storyline. The veteran Paul Sutton returned to his long-lost home from the battlefield. He was tortured by war and was very eager for a simple and warm family life. However, his wife Betty is devoted to money and is very cold to her husband."

"Paul found a job selling chocolates and met Victoria who went home to visit her relatives. She told Paul about her experience. After being pregnant, she was abandoned by her boyfriend and dared not face her conservative family. She kept saying that he would definitely beat me to death! This is her conservative father. Paul decided to help her. They came to the vineyard, the beautiful Yun Township, like a paradise village, and the life here is quiet and warm. Victoria's loving family made Paul feel more and more that this is his ideal family life..."

"Of course, this is still a movie that is not as pretentious as the surface, with very profound connotations. Let's discuss it for you after watching a few interesting clips."

Ma Rui walked in at this time, nodded to Zhuo Ling, and said fluently in American language: "There are some conversations in this movie that are very interesting, and I will assist Teacher Zhuo to explain."

The students applauded enthusiastically, and Ma Rui's reputation was even louder than Zhuoling.

After the first clip ended, Zhuo Ling said: "Conflict or disagreement is a kind of discordant implicit or explicit confrontation. The plot of the movie "Walking in the Clouds" is constantly unfolding in the conflict between American and Mexican cultures. This conflict is manifested in many aspects, and the differences in values ​​are the fundamental reason. The essence of the various cross-cultural conflicts in the film is the incompatibility of American and Mexican values."

A clip of the video was played.

Zhuo Ling said: "The first biggest difference lies in the view of marriage and love."

"As the representative American individualist culture, Paul's viewpoint is branded with the imprint of American individualism. First of all, his view of love has a strong individualism, that is, true love is based on the other party's individual rather than anything externally materialized, such as family, money, etc.; the core of personal happiness is romance and innocent love must be pursued unremittingly. Victoria studied for a master's degree in the United States and was also influenced by American individualist culture. She focused on personal emotional needs and insisted on her own choices rather than family arrangements in love and marriage."

"Different from American society, Mexico belongs to a collectivist cultural society, with a large distance of power. The collectivist Mexican attitude towards marriage and love is very different from that of Americans. Collective society first focuses on the family and adheres to a view of a big family. Family members are mutually restrained and related, and each member is responsible for the family. Under the constraints of this culture, Victoria's pregnancy before marriage is definitely not an individual's own behavior but a thing that shames the entire family, and is absolutely forbidden."

Ma Rui felt unhappy when he saw Liu Chen sitting there. He wanted to use the content of the movie to warn him and said, "Secondly, the Mexican family pays special attention to the inheritance of the family and the authority of their parents. Young people must obtain their parents' consent from courtship to marriage. Parents consider equality in their children's marriage, especially favoring famous families with good backgrounds and family heritage. As a representative and defender of the traditional Mexican collectivist values, Victoria's father hopes that his daughter will marry a Mexican of excellent descent."

Zhuoling didn't know why he suddenly responded and continued with a smile: "So when he learned that Paul's job was to sell chocolate instead of a famous family, he strongly opposed their marriage. These all had a strong conflict with the American independent individualistic values, causing Victoria to rebelliously shout "i-am-not-a-hoe, it-is-my-hoie-ho-i-mary-not-his."

Ma Rui also smiled and said, "Teacher Zhuo's analysis is very accurate. In fact, although our country is no longer a typical collectivist society. After urbanization, a large family usually no longer lives together, but the concept of family traditions passed down from ancient times to the present still emphasizes equality. I personally think this is also more important. The values ​​of girls growing up in a big city are fundamentally different from those of poor boys from a small place. Haha, if Victoria was not pregnant, I think I wouldn't have looked at Paul more when I was in New York."

When he spoke, he looked at Liu Chen provocatively several times.

Zhuo Ling frowned and said politely: "Teacher Ma Rui gave another interpretation. As for how everyone understands it, it is a matter of opinion. Let's analyze the next clip."

"The Americans' views on equality, independence and individualism also exist in the family. Everyone is equal, and everyone enjoys the sacred and inviolable rights given by God. Everyone has the right to make decisions for themselves and solve problems alone. This is the manifestation of personal independence and independence. Parents have no right to interfere in their children's affairs, otherwise it is a destruction of the spirit of freedom and independence. Parents respect their children, and encourage their children to be self-oriented and develop on the basis of adhering to the principles of life and obeying social moral norms. Mexican families emphasize the absolute authority of parents, as Victoria said, at home [everyoells should livelie]."
