to live

Since I came into contact with "foreign aid", I have never understood why our country spends so much money on foreign aid. For example, in our project, the Ministry of Commerce wants to invite them to learn our technology. It is not enough to include food, accommodation, play, and round-trip air tickets. It also gives them 80 yuan of pocket money every day. The office, the first-hand bag of domestic affairs and foreign affairs, and jumping up and down like a monkey every day is only 600 yuan a month. This is really money for foreign monks.
However, my "sharp" business acumen tells me that this is definitely just the beginning, especially under the influence of conspiracy theories such as "currency war" and "food war", I even believe that "there are only eternal interests in international exchanges. There are no permanent friends", I believe that our Ministry of Commerce will make a lot of money through the "corporate behavior" behind, what we want is to lay a long line and catch a big fish. But yesterday I watched Lang Xianping's "New Imperialism in China", and I couldn't calm down for a long time, first because of our country's life-threatening agriculture and precarious food security, and then a reflection on our foreign aid: why should we This kind of foreign aid is not the so-called "neocolonialism" of the foreign media. Since it is a reason for us to give ourselves more high-sounding reasons, what do we use to cover up our "wolf ambition"? Are we really not interested in other people's mineral resources?
Are we "neocolonial"? Am I sharpening the executioner's knife? I'm really lost. Lang Xianping introduced how the kind-hearted Somali people were forced to take the path of pirates, and he was also taught by Mr. Wu Si's "law of blood reward". The "colonialists" that appeared are so horrific and deceptive that people are not allowed to put their heads on their belts to do "harmful things", and what I am doing now is a "neocolonialism" disguised as humanitarianism "Well, on the way to being involved in driving them to a dead end? This one I'm really not sure about, or knowing a little more about their history might lead me to a way out.
To be honest, I really have no idea about Africa. I barely know that there is Egypt, one of the four ancient civilizations. There are pyramids, sphinxes, mummies and Cleopatra. The latter is from San Mao's book. Sahara, and mitochondrial evolution analysis of human origin from a mother in Africa, the other is really do not know. Regarding Mandela, it was because on the opening day of the World Cup last year, classmate wk told me in a very, very regretful tone that he could not come to the opening ceremony. I felt that this person should not be underestimated, and then I went to Baidu to find out. . But the more I was puzzled by Archbishop Tutu's "No Forgiveness, No Future" in "South Africa" ​​that I read last semester, what kind of story is this? I seem to have found the answer in Hotel Rwanda.

"What's the difference between Hutu and Situ?"
"According to the Belgian colonists, the Tutsi are taller and more elegant, which is the difference between the Belgians."
"How?
" The narrow, fair-skinned people were picked out, they used to measure the nose width of everyone, the Belgians used the Situ people to rule the country, and after they left, they handed over power to the Hutu people, of course the Hutu people because of being After years of repression, they took revenge on the political leaders of the Tutsi ethnic group."

Then there was the horrific massacre of the Tutsi ethnic group by the Hutu ethnic group. Originally born from the same root, why is it too urgent to fry each other? 1000000! ! ! The corpses along the way are about to tip the car into the river! ! ! What makes me even more ashamed is that the machetes used by the Hutu people to carry out the massacre are all from China! ! ! How did we "plug" these batches of butcher knives to these crazy people?
Perhaps the difference between colonialism and humanitarianism lies in the expectation of "return on investment". I also have to admit that in front of me is really a kind of thought with the meaning of "neocolonialism", but in front of those bloody "made in China" butcher knives, I suddenly feel that our "foreign aid" is actually fundamental There shouldn't be so many commercial motives, hybrid rice diplomacy only needs to be alive! ! !
I don't want to mention the "Maslow's Principle of Needs", and I can also put aside the damn "Matthew Effect". Although they are all right and reasonable, I think the explanation of "for living" is enough here. .
Didn't the damned colonists cut off the Somali fishermen's way of life with destructive fishing, and the food was controlled by various forces, so the kind-hearted Somali people became pirates? Wasn't the colonists planted the root of hatred, as for the Hutu to exterminate their Tutsi neighbors? It's not that they are too deceiving. As for Bin Laden, as for what kind of al-Qaeda to train his billions of assets, he doesn't know which cave he is in every day. Only when you don't give others a way to survive, they can only be desperados.
The protagonist of "Three Cups of Tea" said that the best way to solve terrorism is education, but I think it should be alive first. At least let ordinary people have a choice to survive, so that they will not sell themselves as human bombs in order to keep their relatives alive.
Four days ago, the data consulted on FAO: the number of hungry people in the world is now 923 million, the first decline in 15 years, but the outlook is still not optimistic. Forget it, I don’t want to freeze myself with cold numbers. Although I don’t know how the black buddies in Africa learn to grow rice and go back to us, I’m still glad that I can still do something, in order to live. .
