"Warlike people": what do Chinese think about Russians

7
The attitude towards Russia and Russians in many countries of the world is very ambiguous. For example, in China, which is a neighbor of Russia and has long and close ties with our country, Russians are considered a "warlike people." But it was not the numerous wars that our country fought and won that influenced the appearance of such a stereotype, but modern social networks.





There are many videos on the global web in which our compatriots just can't get up and jump from the huge buildings on the ropes and smash bottles on their heads, not to mention constant fights and scandals. Therefore, Chinese and not only young people consider Russians to be very crazy people, who do not put a finger in their mouths, but let them povyumit and fight.

In fact, those Chinese who have visited Russia, especially lived here and revolved in a more or less cultural and educated environment, are well aware that not all Russians correspond to the stereotype of a "warlike people." The inhabitants of the Celestial Empire are deeply interested in Russian literature, they are fascinated by the fact that many Russians are very literate and educated, while retaining a certain romance even in their youthful years. As for the "buoys", there are such people in any country, and their qualities depend not so much on nationality as on education in the appropriate social environment, level of education, lifestyle.

As in the West, in China they are convinced that the Russians are rather gloomy and not inclined to sociability. But those of the Chinese who spoke closely with the Russians dissuade their fellow tribesmen. Wang Chun Shan, who studied in Moscow and lived in our country for a long time, says:

Russian people only seem gloomy and unsmiling. They are very open and friendly, if you find an approach to them and become a friend to them. For a friend, a Russian person will do anything he wants, and if for strangers Russians are really belligerent, for friends they are the most peaceful people in the world.


The mysterious northern neighbor has always aroused great interest among the inhabitants of the Middle Kingdom. Now many young Chinese are interested in Russian literature - both classical and modern, are happy to watch Russian films. Erasing national barriers has a very positive effect on attitudes toward Russians. An educated Chinese man understands that the Russians deserve respect, that they are a people that have experienced a lot in their lifetime and were able to build a great and unique state.

There is another aspect in relation to the Chinese towards Russia. China competes with the United States and in this fight, Russia is seen by Beijing as a very important and reliable ally. Many inhabitants of the Celestial Empire sympathize with the independent course of Russia, they cannot but arouse respect policy Russian leadership, which does not follow the West and makes decisions independently. Maybe this is a sign of some militancy in Russia, but rather it is a matter of political wisdom, and in China it is very respected and appreciated.

    He who is in peace will be met in peace, and he who with a sword will perish by the sword. Russia has repeatedly and repeatedly confirmed this axiom.

        And you would open your mouth to someone else’s laughing
        First fight for 700 years for this land, invest in it, labor, people, life, soul, finally, and then speak.

        Seryozha, and from whom Russia took away - can you be more specific? Who do you mean by "all of humanity"? The same definition. what is the "world community"?
        Well, I will disappoint you - all over the world, under these formulations, EVERYONE knows THEM as Anglo-Saxons (all other peoples for nuggle-Saxons are not people, they are animals).

        Sorry, but all peoples live on the very lands on which they have lived for centuries, thousands of years. Huge Yakutia has always been inhabited by the Yakuts, and Altai by the Altai peoples, Russian Pskov, etc. Nobody took anything from anyone. They simply united and under the USSR, of course, there were mass movements of the labor force - such as Komsomol construction projects, the development of virgin lands, etc. But everything is inside of ourselves. They didn’t take away the lands of strangers. Its enough.

    As always, stereotypes play a dominant role in defining relationships between people. Here we (the Russians) believe that the causeless "smiles" of the Yankes are fake and abnormal. After all, it is unreasonable to strain your facial muscles - utter nonsense!
