A few impressions: 1. British prisons are actually very civilized and relaxed, playing billiards and listening to music. The environment is friendly. Compared with the gangs and murders in the American prison film, it is quite a country club.
2 The British are very polite and friendly, and the British accent is also dirty in the United States. No matter how dark it is or the incompatibility between soldiers and thieves, every move of the prison guards and prisoners is still very polite and quaint, which can be called harmony (compared to "The Redemption of Xiao Shengke").
3 The police have not convicted a single one. Throughout the United Kingdom and the United States, the dirtiest and most fake cases are related to national security. Guantanamo and the like, for the sake of national security, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to miss one.
4 Wearing a suit or wearing a T-shirt, eating steak or eating french fries, wearing leather shoes or bare feet, a policeman or a thief, a beast is a beast.
5. The soft can overcome the strong, and the weak father is finally better than the sturdy Republican prisoner. Ultimately, people are always susceptible to some kind of compassion.
6 The people are all blind, but the energy is huge, and the water can carry the boat and capsize it. It is impossible for the people to cut themselves off. They still have to rely on them. Even if they shout to kill you, it is them. must be guided.
7 At this level, it is really not worth mentioning in China.
8 China's attitude towards life tragedy is different, see Yu Hua's "Alive" for details. My understanding is detachment. It means that when you can’t be helped, and then you can’t die or go crazy, there is only detachment. We Chinese people have always been used to being played. Compared with the human rights awareness that foreigners hold, it is natural Be indifferent.
