"Let me go, Brother Nan has dated Nepalese girls?"
"I really want to know what it feels like!"
"Compared to these girls in China, they should be more obedient, right?"
"Strange, if that's the case, why is the anchor still single?"
"How did you break up? Did you have a fight?"
When Zhao Nan revealed the fact that he once dated a Nepali girl, the flames of gossip quickly burned in the live broadcast room. Countless barrages rushed out instantly, and everyone's ears pricked up.
Zhao Nan did not delay and said straightforwardly: "If you have been to Nepal, you may know that there is a small white pagoda in the Tamil district of Kathmandu. Local young people like to sit around the white pagoda and drink about RMB 100,000.
A cup of lemon black tea costs thirty cents, and we talked about topics such as ideals and love."
"In addition, there is a very famous ice cream shop there, which is always busy. People hold a few thin bills and queue up outside the shop."
"It was in this ice cream shop that I met Maya. I had severe difficulty in making choices and asked her for help, so Maya recommended me an ice cream that is the favorite of the locals. The price is only fifteen rupees, which is equivalent to RMB
Less than ninety cents.”
“Actually, I was afraid that eating such a cheap ice cream would ruin my stomach, but I really couldn’t live up to the good intentions of the beautiful women around me, so I bought one, tore off the simple wrapping paper, and took a bite.
"
"Unexpectedly, the ice cream that costs less than 90 cents actually has the taste of my childhood, with a rich flavor of milk and peanuts."
"I thanked Maya, and then naturally added me on Facebook, and we chatted. She said she lived in the suburbs, had just graduated from a local vocational college, and worked as an accountant in a wood processing factory."
"I asked her how her income was, and she smiled and said that she would give 10,000 rupees a month, which is equivalent to about 600 yuan, and give 7,000 to her family and keep 3,000 for herself."
"I nodded. Although in China, if you exploit employees like this, you will definitely be sued in the Labor Protection Court, if our country really has labor laws, but in Nepal, a monthly salary of 600 yuan is really not low."
"In Pokhara, the second largest city, I once met a guy who worked two jobs a day. He sold cold drinks at the bus station during the day and worked as a security guard at the door of a bar at night. His monthly income was just over 10,000 rupees."
"Since they live relatively close together, he and his younger brother come to me to practice Chinese whenever they have free time, and I do my best to help them."
"About a few months later, their Chinese proficiency improved a lot. One day he came to me happily and made sure to invite me for coffee."
"I find this strange, because with his spending power, he usually drinks four bags of milk tea powder for one yuan. Although coffee is not expensive, it costs about seven or eight yuan a cup, which is definitely beyond his affordability."
"After asking, I found out that he had changed his job. A local communications company that handled phone cards thought he could speak a few broken Chinese words and was a promising talent, so they offered him 15,000 rupees, equivalent to less than RMB 15,000.
He feels happy with the high salary of 900 yuan, and constantly thanks the 30 million gods for blessing him, and thanks me, a foreigner wandering in the local area."
"This is the real economic situation in Nepal. Rich people live in magnificent villas on King's Road or Naya Bazar, pay a huge 300% customs duty, and buy Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover."
"There are also 99 percent of people who have almost nothing, earn the lowest salary in the world, eat a bowl of cheap Indian long-stem rice and a spoonful of curry with ginger powder and spices every day, and live in
In the simple shed, I searched the whole family and couldn't even find a kitchen knife. I could only peel potatoes and chop onions with a farming sickle."
"In comparison, Maya's family is already in a good situation. At least they are far away from the mountainous area where few grains of rice can be grown. They came to the capital. The whole family rented two houses in the suburbs without running water. The father and brother worked on construction every day.
Working on the construction site, she brought back the food and sunflower oil needed by the whole family. Now Maya also has a job. Although the salary is not much, it can at least provide the family with one meal of chicken every week, and the remaining money can also pay for her sister's food.
tuition fee."
"Maya told me that her biggest dream in this life is to have a room of her own. It doesn't have to be big, just enough for a bed, so that she doesn't have to live with her sister, grandpa, grandma, and young brother.
Crowded together."
"After dating, I went to Maya's house twice. To be precise, it was two empty rough houses with no running water. The bathroom was shared by all the neighbors on the whole floor. The only electrical appliance in the house was a light. She slept on the floor.
When you wake up, put the quilt away and stack it in the corner."
"Maya's mother cooked for me, including a few pieces of curry chicken, a few slices of raw cucumbers and carrots, and a small cup of the cheapest local yogurt. They didn't eat it. They just looked at me with smiles, which made me enjoy the meal extremely well.
Embarrassed, Maya later told me that she only bought one chicken drumstick that day, which was prepared for myself, while they ate potatoes and pumpkin leaves."
"I'll go! This is too miserable!"
"Is there really such a poor place in the world?"
"What's the matter with the sudden urge to save?"
"I can't stand listening anymore. People are already suffering so much. Why doesn't the anchor bring anything to eat or drink when he goes to be a guest?"
The audience spoke one after another. They were saddened by the barrenness of that distant and unfamiliar country, but they forgot that they did not actually live in a world of milk and honey.
Perhaps only ordinary people understand ordinary people best. After experiencing the pain of being imprisoned, being forced to lose their income, losing their freedom, and being unable to speak out in recent years, everyone in the live broadcast room still cannot see the suffering in the world, which shows that Chinese people are the most innocent and kind people in the world.
They are a kind-hearted group of people who are hardworking and tolerant and deserve to live a better life than they do now.
The interesting thing is that the audience just lamented that life was difficult, but no one, not even the girls in the live broadcast room who had been waiting to see Zhao Nan's jokes, doubted the authenticity of this experience.
Because in the past few years, everyone has seen too much.
To a certain extent, everyone should be grateful for those years, because before that, everyone was bewildered by the flowers they created, and excited for the great future they imagined. People only cared about poetry and the distance.
But he forgets that right next to him, there are countless compatriots who have been abandoned by the times, those weak and pitiful people.
In those years, we finally stopped being obsessed with grand narratives and went to see and feel the real world. Helpless old people and young children, heartbroken fathers and sons, lying on the balcony and looking at each other in pain.
People in the distance shouted at the top of their lungs but couldn't make even a small sound.
People a few years ago lived in illusion.
But today's people, although their lives are cold, are gradually seeing the reality in their eyes.
So when Zhao Nan talked about the life of Maya's family, even though they were thousands of miles apart and had different cultures and customs, all the viewers in the live broadcast room still felt the same way and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Perhaps as the Internationale sings, the proletariat has no retreat except to liberate all proletarians and all suffering people around the world.
For them, Intrachonelle is a ridiculous slogan and a fool's cry, but for the proletariat, it is the ultimate fate.
The live broadcast room became agitated. Although everyone's life was not easy, many brothers still had an indescribable impulse and wanted to do something with their own insignificant power.
At this time, Zhao Nan took out her mobile phone, opened the photo album, and showed everyone a series of photos about Maya.
I saw that she was a very delicate-looking girl with three-dimensional facial features, a pair of big eyes, long black hair, and a thin and small figure. Standing next to Zhao Nan, she seemed to be the difference between a college student and a primary school student.
She hugged Zhao Nan's arm shyly and quietly.
There are many photos, some taken by Zhao Nan for Maya, some selfies of the two of them in the park and boating on Phewa Lake, and some of Maya's birthday and the two of them eating KFC together.
"What Maya dislikes the most is that I spend money randomly, even on my birthday, just to eat at KFC." Zhao Nan said while recalling: "At any time, she would stop me from taking a taxi and take me a long way to catch up.
The local bus, the so-called bus in Nepal is actually a kind of motorcycle tricycle. The carriage is always packed with people, as crowded as a sardine can. It is rickety when driving, and is filled with the smell of strong curry mixed with sweat.
The smell, but Maya doesn't care at all."
"After I took her to eat Chinese food twice, she never wanted to go there again. Although she said she liked the dish called Jingjiang shredded pork very much, Chinese food was too expensive, and the MOMO dumplings on the roadside only cost four.
It only costs 3 or 4 yuan for fried rice and fried noodles. Even the luxurious Dalba Curry Rice Set only costs 10 yuan, which is not enough for half a plate of spicy and sour shredded potatoes in a Chinese restaurant."
"I took Maya to buy clothes. She rejected the brand store on King's Avenue and plunged into the local clothing wholesale market. After a long time of comparison and bargaining, she finally selected a pair of shoes for 600 rupees, which is equivalent to RMB.
It’s less than 40 yuan, and the dress and a long-sleeved T-shirt are just over 100 yuan.”
"I bought it and gave it to her. It was such a cheap gift, but she received an extremely warm hug, a smile that was so happy, and the happiness that could not be hidden in her eyes."
"Yes, happiness."
"I often opened these photos at night when I woke up after drinking. Gradually, I finally understood that what I miss most about Maya is neither her curvy figure nor her laundry and cooking, but her happiness and satisfaction."
"From the beginning to the end, her eyes were all about me, and she had no demands on me. All she had was satisfaction and happiness. Every time she went to the temple to pray, she would be grateful to the gods for giving her me, and my existence...
It is her hope, her happiness, her everything."
"How can I forget such a girl? Even if I endure more hardships, as long as I can make her live a happy life, all the efforts will be worth it."
Love is deep and sincere.
Zhao Nan spoke silently, and every word he said touched the hearts of everyone present.
From ancient times to the present, Chinese boys have been the most diligent and willing to give.
What they fear is not paying, but paying incorrectly.
What they fear is not that there will be no results in the end, they are afraid of being slighted, afraid of an indifferent attitude, and afraid that there will be no results from the beginning.
"If you say so well, how could you and Maya be separated?"
"That's right, why aren't you together?"
"Tch! All men in the world are virtuous. They don't cherish what they get. I'm afraid this girl Maya has been dumped by him long ago, right?"
"Scumbag!"
"I used to think that the anchor was just a bastard, but now it seems that he is still a bastard who specializes in deceiving silly foreign girls!"
Some nasty words appeared on the screen, and you knew without guessing that they must be those who wanted the external involvement plan to fail completely.
But even Zhao Nan's most loyal fans in the live broadcast room are actually full of doubts in their hearts. Of course it is wrong to curse, but Zhao Nan's words are illogical.
He cares so much about Maya, so the question is, where is Maya now? The parents have met, so why were they not together in the end?
Facing the camera, Zhao Nan's expression gradually darkened. He lowered his head slightly and clenched his fists hard.
Phew~
Zhao Nan let out a long sigh, stooped up, and rubbed his hair vigorously with his palms. He seemed to be uncomfortable. His heart was blocked by some kind of substance, and his face looked a little pale.
"That's a good question." After a while, Zhao Nan showed a wry smile and said in a hoarse voice: "At 14:11 on April 25, 2015, an extremely tragic earthquake occurred in Nepal, with a magnitude of 8.0
One, causing countless houses to collapse and towns to be reduced to rubble."
"What does a magnitude 8.1 mean?"
"The Wenchuan earthquake in my country was magnitude 8."
"A few days before the earthquake, I said goodbye to Maya and returned home temporarily because my father was hospitalized."
"It's just that I never thought that that farewell would become an eternal farewell." This chapter has been completed!
