When I Have Money

After Yang Kun sent Tang Tian back to the dormitory, he sat in the car and watched her disappear from his sight before driving the car away.

On the way back, Yang Kun didn't feel the depression after parting. I don't know if it was because of the madness last night that all the desire for 'X' in his heart was eliminated.

Originally, Yang Kun also said that after sending Tang Tian home today, he would go to have a good relationship with Pei Youxi during his 'holiday' time.

But on his way home alone, Yang Kun had no such thoughts at all. Until he returned home, he didn't think about what to do with Pei Youxi.

Sitting on the sofa at home, Yang Kun looked at the sky outside, in a state of idling. Because he himself doesn't know what to do next.

It was just after one o'clock in the afternoon, and he didn't want to go out, and he didn't know where to go, so Yang Kun could only sit in the living room and stare at the sky in a daze.

In this way, after sitting for a while, he took out his mobile phone and sat in the living room to scan the vibrato. The videos on Douyin are still so magical. Yang Kun’s favorite videos are some videos about removing makeup or putting on makeup.

And every time he sees these videos, Yang Kun always sighs in his heart: "Women, they are just like goblins, they can draw skins, it's too scary."

Although Yang Kun was amazed by the makeup skills of the women, he felt that watching these videos is very interesting to pass the time. In this way, Yang Kun trapped himself at home and chose to go out when he was a little bored watching videos.

When going out this time, Yang Kun didn't drive. He chose to take a walk to Itaewon.

During afternoon tea time, Yang Kun looked at some cafes in Itaewon where there were many foreigners with European and American appearance. They all gathered together in groups and chatted about some interesting things. Yang Kun walked into this coffee with a decent atmosphere by accident.

After he went to the bar to order a cup of coffee, he took his coffee and walked towards the group of foreigners. He was brave enough to talk to the group of foreigners, "Hi, can I get to know you?"

Most of them are foreigners in Itaewon, so they received Yang Kun very warmly. One of the white men smiled and said, "Welcome, welcome."

Yang Kun pulled up a chair and sat with this group of people of various skin colors. It was like a kind of 'United Nations conference'.

After Yang Kun sat down, he nodded politely to everyone, and then introduced himself: "My name is Yang Kun, and I come from Huaxia. I came to Itaewon for a stroll because I was bored by myself. It's interesting to see you chatting here , so I took the initiative to join.”

There were four men present, three white and one black. There are also two ladies, one with wheat-colored skin like Latin America, and the other with Caucasian descent. There are six people in this round table, and there are seven people after Yang Kun joined.

After Yang Kun introduced himself, they all applauded to welcome him. Because in Seoul, everyone here is a foreigner, including Yang Kun, a Chinese with an Asian complexion, this is also a foreign country, and he is the same as them here.

Maybe they like the culture here, or maybe after the exchange students, they feel that this place is more friendly to foreigners, so they come here again.

One of the white people smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Alberto, and I am from Italy. I personally like Chinese culture very much. I have studied in China for several years. I personally like "Tao Te Ching" very much. , When it doesn’t exist, it can be used as a tool.”

Hearing an Italian speaking "Tao Te Ching" in Chinese made Yang Kun, a pure Chinese man, a little confused. He was silent for a long time before he said: "I thought you were going to talk about ancient China. As for the poems, I really didn’t expect it to be the Tao Te Ching?”

The Italian said: "Isn't the Tao Te Ching a traditional Chinese culture?"

"Uh, yes." Yang Kun suddenly felt a little blushing. As a Chinese, when Chinese traditional culture is overseas, he said it in the mouth of an Italian, and he, a pure Chinese, didn't know it was true. When asked what it meant, Yang Kun suddenly felt that it was time for him to reflect on himself.

Yang Kun said with a smile: "I just feel very surprised, because even many of us Chinese people have put down traditional culture and are learning new culture. So..."

After Yang Kun said the words that made him blush, the Italian said: "Traditional culture cannot be discarded!"

Listening to what a foreigner said to him, Yang Kun nodded seriously and said: "Yes, traditional culture cannot be discarded."

I don't know when people in China have let go of traditional culture, but at the same time as we let go, some foreigners are learning Chinese traditional culture. This makes Yang Kun really feel that he is living in China for nothing.

In the past, when I was in class, I was very resistant to these ancient prose when I heard the teacher say "recite the whole text". After finally graduating from university, those ancient prose that I have recited, I have long since lost sight of them.

But now we talk about the 'rise of China' arrogantly, and promote the so-called 'traditional culture' on overseas websites everywhere.

But our real "traditional culture" is not the gourmet food described in the videos on the Internet, nor the tradition of Hanfu popularized by the girls on the Internet.

It is a book with written records, and they have always been there, but we Chinese people are too lazy to read it.

Yang Kun was listening to a foreigner explaining the "Tao Te Ching" to himself at this time, and the "Tao Te Ching" we know is just the phrase "Tao can be said, very Tao." '

Yang Kun suddenly felt that it was time for him to study culture. For example, when you are at home like just now, you no longer watch videos with your mobile phone, but read a book. Maybe the things in the book are not suitable for the current society, but it can bring you a peace of mind.

In this foreigner's party that Yang Kun joined, he suddenly found that he seemed to have a lot of things they talked about that he didn't know. Yang Kun really wanted to ask, what kind of academic circle is this?

Funny how they sit here chatting about some ancient history. Except for some names, Yang Kun has heard of them, such as 'Napoleon' and the like. Yang Kun didn't know anything about other incidents. Sitting here, he can't talk at all, he can only listen, but some historical stories are quite interesting.
