Belleville is a special place. It is the junction of several districts in Paris, so people from various districts all appear here. The crime rate has always been high, and the police are lazy. At the same time, there are also small Wenzhou bosses who ask for their lives and the so-called "outsiders" who work for them.
Wenzhou people are notoriously discussing life outside. Because of their weakness, they are already in groups. They are usually relatives with relatives, relatives help relatives. Only by unity can they survive, make money, and dress brightly and peacefully when they go home. Relatives in my hometown said that I was doing business outside and was doing pretty well.
Accompanied by this kind of localism is the "discrimination" of overseas Wenzhou people against those who are late to the Chinese who have no foundation and call them "outsiders." As a Wenzhou native, I'm lucky because I can use dialect to ask questions in Chinese restaurants or shops in major cities in Europe instead of using foreign languages. On the contrary, if you use Mandarin, you will be cast with a distance look. I do not like this. But having said that, Wenzhou people still use "Fans", an old saying with a strong sense of pride in the Great Chinese Empire, to refer to those foreigners, and they have no concealment of their contempt for "blacks" and "Arabs".
After getting along for a while, I understood that the reason why Wenzhou people in the beautiful city don't like those "outsiders", "fans", "blacks" or "Arabs" is because they are too lazy. "Foreigners" do not have "locals" in their work and do not have the same language. In addition, they have no blood relationship and are financially unreliable; "Fans", "blacks" or "Arabs" are either inherently lazy. , Or acquired spoiled by the French welfare system. The Wenzhou people are different, they have to get benefits, and they still have to do their jobs. A man I know who lives in a few square huts in his aunt's house is also our local. Here, he works 6 and a half days a week and 12 hours a day. He has never complained about suffering.
Those outside the beautiful city who are despised by Wenzhou people also dislike the Wenzhou people in the city. "Outsiders" think that the small Wenzhou boss takes themselves too seriously; "Fan people" think that Wenzhou people have made the beautiful city too dirty "Blacks" and "Arabs" feel that Wenzhou people are too united to deal with.
In a sense, I can also understand this film as a concentrated criticism of the people outside the beautiful city, criticizing their "selfishness" and "greed", and praising the people outside. "Love" and "Persistence". Perhaps, reversing the direction, changing the angle, we will see different things, see the "industriousness" of the beautiful city, but also see the "wisdom" of the beautiful city.
Now, my aunt has sold her house in Paris and returned to China to start a clothing business. All this happened before the financial crisis hit the world economy.
Let me talk about this first, my thinking is too messy.
