A few days ago, Urban Express reported that a tour group from Ningbo traveled to the Philippines. On the return flight, due to language communication problems, it is suspected that the flight attendant takes care of foreign tourists and has a dispute with the flight attendant. One of the members even shouted "Why did you give your seat to a foreigner" and never changed seats. In the end, he had to pay his own money and turn to Ningbo twice.

Friction caused by language communication barriers may be inevitable. After all, English is not so popular in China that everyone can use it skillfully. But if the group could listen to the flight attendants' persuasion and explanation, perhaps this dispute would not have happened. However, this gentleman has a strong "national consciousness" and thinks that flight attendants engage in "national discrimination", which is why he has the phrase "why should he give up his seat to foreigners?" You can imagine how righteous and heroic he was when he roared out this voice that won glory for the motherland in his eyes.

However, is this really the glory of the country? Why can't you give your seat to foreigners?

As we all know, China is a country of etiquette, and China has a profound culture. Civilized courtesy includes humility, respect and courtesy. As one of the outstanding traditions of the Chinese nation, it has always been praised by people. Civilized comity is also the embodiment of advocating and building a harmonious society. If civility and comity are only advocated in a special period, they will not be passed down from generation to generation as excellent traditions.

Why give up your seat to foreigners? Giving up your seat is not only convenient for people, but also convenient for yourself. Imagine that there may be people of various nationalities on the plane. In order to communicate with each other more smoothly, changing the position appropriately will not affect the quality of the ride, nor will it change the final destination of the plane. I'm afraid this is common sense. In addition, giving up your seat also reflects a sense of international friendship, and from a certain point of view, it also reflects the tolerance of a country and the cultivation of its own people, making the atmosphere in the plane more harmonious. Why not? Thirdly, giving up one's seat is not a "giving up one's seat" between countries, and it is not because giving up one's seat will lose the face of the country and thus lose patriotism. On the contrary, giving up your seat can make foreigners feel the friendship of other countries and enhance their impression of other countries.

With the rapid development of China's economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the opportunities for China people to travel abroad are also increasing year by year. From time to time, I see news about how Chinese people "win glory for their country" abroad, but most of them are in distress and embarrassment. It is unacceptable to win glory for our country, such as "not changing seats for foreigners" What really wins glory for our country is to embody China's profound civilization and excellent tradition in details, instead of carrying forward "patriotism" everywhere.

I hope what I see in the news next time is that foreigners give up their seats to China people and say "thank you!" (
