Free Web NovelChapter 1372: Chapter 1371
Lin Fan spoke in Huaxia language, directing his words to the Huaxia female student, as he couldn’t be bothered with the white students. He simply saw the Huaxia female student surrounded and came over to persuade.
The Huaxia female student said, "It’s true there’s no need to stoop to their level, but what they’re saying is infuriating. It’s discrimination!"
Lin Fan said, "These white pigs are just self-righteous. The best way to counteract discrimination is to return it with discrimination. They discriminate simply because their advanced development gives them a sense of superiority, but the truth is, they’re already falling behind and completely unaware."
The Huaxia female student said, "You’re right, they are overflowing with superiority but can’t see the global trend, let alone the current developments in Huaxia."
Lin Fan said, "So, what’s the point of talking to them? Let them continue being proud. One day, they’ll be shocked by us, and then they’ll be ashamed of their ignorance."
"Hey, can you speak English?" one of the white students sneered at Lin Fan.
"This guy probably can’t even speak English, huh? What are they saying? Truly stupid!"
"Hahaha..."
A few white students laughed together.
Lin Fan looked at the white student and smiled, "Of course I can speak English, but when talking to my fellow countrymen, there’s no need to speak English. On the contrary, do any of you speak Huaxia language?"
The white student disdainfully said, "Who would want to learn such a low-level language?"
"Hahaha..."
The group of white students laughed together again.
Lin Fan said, "First, Huaxia language isn’t low-level. Second, you all probably won’t be able to learn it in your lifetime. We can learn your language, but you can’t learn ours. Who’s a bit more stupid, then? Also, open your eyes and see, the whole world is learning Huaxia language now. Use your not-so-developed brains to think, why is that? Honestly, considering you’re students of Imperial College, I’m a bit disappointed."
The Huaxia female student said, "I don’t think they’re from our school, because I feel their presence really insults intelligence."
Lin Fan murmured, "Really, you’re not Imperial College students?"
A white student snorted, "We’re from the nearby Elizabeth Elite Academy!"
Lin Fan was taken aback, "What’s that?"
The Huaxia female student said, "It’s a private school only the wealthy can attend. I knew it, how come they have such poor manners? Turns out they’re a bunch of Rich Second Generation."
Lin Fan laughed, "So you all aren’t Imperial College students, yet you want to compare intelligence to Imperial College students. What should I call you? You’re so ordinary yet so confident."
Lin Fan quoted famous sayings, which utterly infuriated the few white students.
Indeed, they mocked Huaxia People’s poverty and stupidity, yet the Huaxia female student in front was an Imperial College student who scored full marks in calculus, while these few white students were merely students from a third-rate university, a noble school anyone could attend with money. Who was more stupid was obvious.
"So what if you attend Imperial College, does that prove anything? Imperial College is our Great Britain’s school, isn’t that sufficient to prove a point? Do you have a school more powerful than ours in Huaxia?" a white female student retorted.
"Exactly, I’m from the United States. Our technology is number one worldwide, can you compare? Saying that and you still don’t accept?"
A few white students got arrogant again.
Lin Fan said, "Let’s objectively speak, since the industrial revolution, the West indeed has been ahead of the world, with strong national power, technological explosion, and expansion starting from Europe— in terms of finance or military, it’s been at a crush level. And the United States is the culmination of human technological development because the United States is an immigrant country made up of elites from around the world. Of course, the United States is predominantly white, so it could also be said to be the culmination of European civilization. These are things you should be proud of."
The few white students listened comfortably.
"Hehe, glad you understand!" the white student grinned.
Lin Fan smiled slightly, "Let’s further rewind the perspective a bit, before the Western industrial revolution, which was the world’s most powerful country? Undeniably, it was us, Huaxia. We once were the strongest nation in the world, the Celestial Empire where nations paid tribute, and at that time, you Westerners were unrefined barbarians. In modern times, falling behind because we missed the industrial revolution repeatedly. So, do you understand what I’m implying?"
"What are you implying, that you’re behind?"
"Hahaha..."
A few white students burst into laughter.
Lin Fan said, "No, I’m reminding you to view the world with the perspective of development. No one is perpetually strong, nor is anyone perpetually weak. Your West was behind us in Huaxia for thousands of years, only surpassing us by catching the industrial revolution. But can you always lead us? The answer is no. We have fallen behind, and still in many ways are behind you now, but we’ve already awoken. We’re striving to catch up, desperately surpassing, letting the world see an emerging Huaxia, a superpower on the rise! You spent thousands of years surpassing us, but for us to surpass you, it absolutely doesn’t need thousands of years. In fact, we’re already the world’s second-largest economy, only behind the United States, and the time we’ve spent is merely a few decades. With our current development momentum, do you believe our surpassing the United States and becoming the largest economy is far off? Anyone with some insight knows the rise of Huaxia is simply a matter of time, and it won’t take long. Only those without insight are still mocking us, and we Huaxia have a saying that aptly describes you: short-sighted!"
Lin Fan initially didn’t bother with these white pigs, but as they kept pestering, it was unnecessary to be courteous to them.
The few white students were left speechless, they were like weaklings in front of Lin Fan.
Indeed, Lin Fan was well-reasoned, making it hard to rebut. Who wouldn’t say Huaxia is formidable after listening? Who doesn’t feel pressure hearing these words? A rapidly rising Huaxia can make many Western countries restless and make white people anxious.
The commotion had already attracted a crowd of students. Hearing Lin Fan’s words, many remained silent, unintentionally feeling a kind of invisible pressure, while Huaxia students present were all excited, tears brimming hot.
"Can Huaxia surpass our West? I don’t think so!" a voice said, as a white male student stepped forward, staring directly at Lin Fan.
"Ah! He’s here!"
Seeing this white male student, a wave of admiring voices arose in the crowd, seemingly indicating that this white male student had significant background.
