Have you ever been to South Korea again? Write me an article about your feelings and experiences after traveling. It should be about 200 words and be more profound?"

This is a diary written by netizen Hunter Feifei I saw on Douban. I think it should meet your requirements.

Before the typhoon came to Nanjing, I flew to South Korea across the sea for a ten-day visit. In just ten days, I traveled several times in South Korea from the northernmost part to the southernmost part, and gained a general understanding of South Korea's customs, economy and society. I also had an intuitive feeling and understanding of South Korea’s level of development.

To sum up, the main points are as follows:

1. In fact, in terms of urban appearance, Seoul may not be as good as Shanghai, and Busan, the second largest city in South Korea, may not be as good as Shanghai. How much higher than Nanjing, but the city's software is obviously higher than that in China. There are big trees on the side of the road in Busan in every city, but in order to prevent dust, there are copper sheets under each big tree around the contact between the tree and the road. According to colleagues in the same industry, such installations can be seen everywhere in Tokyo, Japan. But it is rarely seen in China, and it is mainly used to prevent dust. Let’s talk about people again. Maybe it’s because Korean folk customs are like this, or maybe it’s because society has developed to a certain extent and civilization has also developed. Throughout South Korea, I deeply feel that the quality of South Korean citizens is higher than that of citizens in the same domestic cities. From the observance of social ethics to the embodiment of some civilized details, etc., although it is not particularly perfect, you can always see the difference. For example, Koreans attach great importance to respecting elders and younger ones. What we have observed in Korea is that no matter colleagues, superiors or subordinates, or teachers and students, there is a very respectful etiquette between elders and younger ones. What particularly impressed me was when we went to a private high school run by a consortium to discuss matters. All the middle school students there bowed and showed great respect when they saw the old lady from the consortium. This moved us who often lament the loss of traditional virtues in China. For another example, although the Koreans have repeatedly stated that they have not done enough, it is obvious that whether we are in Seoul, Busan, Incheon, or Daejeon, the streets are very quiet and there are very few car horns. hear. This is also an important reflection of the degree of civilization and development of civil society.

2. After communicating with local people in South Korea, mainly overseas Chinese, I learned that the average monthly salary in South Korea is 2,000-3,000 US dollars, which is still very good compared with that in China. Moreover, according to them, the gap between rich and poor in South Korea is not big, and the difference between urban and rural areas is not big. The income of their farmers is very high. Because South Korea has little land, food prices are very high. In addition, in addition to grain, their farmers also grow other crops. Each village has a village bank. The village bank will organize the villagers in each village to uniformly design the village's agricultural product brand to promote to the market. What’s funny is that there are trade unions in every industry in South Korea, even retail car stalls in highway service areas. Speaking of which, let me tell you two short stories. First, on our way out, we saw several large trucks covered with slogans. The local people accompanying us told us that it was a labor union going on strike, seemingly to protest against treatment issues or something. Second, we can see a mobile snack truck stall in every highway service area in South Korea. The food is sold very cheaply. I asked the local staff accompanying me and he told me that this kind of mobile snack truck stall does not have any The fee is handed over to the expressway service area. Although they are not welcome in the expressway service area, we dare not mess with them because they have a national union. If any high-speed service area dares not to allow them to sell, the mobile car stalls from all over the country will immediately drive over and block this high-speed service area. Therefore, there are various trade unions such as this to ensure that the interests of various groups in Korea are not damaged and that their benefits are not lower than their expectations. This may be one of the reasons why the gap between rich and poor in South Korea is small.

3. Narrow nationalism. Before going to South Korea, my impression of South Korea was that it had a relatively developed economy and excessive nationalism. I admired their achievements in all aspects, although many people in the country called them Bangzi. After going there this time, while seeing their achievements, I also deeply felt their narrow nationalism. According to the local escort, in fact, before the 1960s, South Korea had always used Chinese characters, and it was only after the 1960s that it completely switched to Korean. In fact, according to the local Chinese students who accompanied me, there is still a big problem with Korean because they still have to use the syllables of Chinese characters to express meaning (I can’t remember exactly how to express it). This is a lecture for a Chinese student who specializes in Korean classical literature. His Korean tutor lamented that in another hundred years, Korean may disappear because it is full of Chinese characters, English, etc. Moreover, the biggest problem for us is the inconvenience of academic communication. In our view, this is complacency. Several international students I have contacted mentioned that during their academic research, they encountered things that were clearly Chinese, but Korean scholars refused to acknowledge them. Therefore, their common feeling is that they must come back, otherwise they will have to quarrel. In fact, strong traces of Chinese culture can be seen everywhere in South Korea. Many historical relics or buildings that they did not have time to demolish were filled with Chinese characters and Chinese culture. Including the historical relics they call Korean medicine, the "Huangdi Neijing", etc., including the Chinese rice paper technology, which they call Hanji, etc. Of course, one thing we agree on is that in their country, the biggest festivals are the Dragon Boat Festival and the Spring Festival.

4. Chinese people in casinos. On the streets of South Korea, you can often see Chinese people. So local people told us that many vendors have learned some Chinese to attract business. This is a good thing. It shows that China's economy has developed, there are more rich people, and people are starting to go shopping. However, the only thing that makes people a little speechless is that most of the Korean casinos are Chinese. I was staying at the hotel. After dinner in the evening, I was walking around the hotel. I heard that the casino for the night was booked by the Chinese. I heard from the interpreter who accompanied me that I often see wealthy Chinese people carrying boxes to gamble. Moreover, most of them come back empty. The domestic economy is booming and China, which is in a period of reform and transformation, has also given some groups with control over and access to resources the opportunity to plunder wealth. Various reforms are in progress, so their behavior has no practical regulations. It is easy to obtain wealth, so they may have the idea of ??squandering their wealth. Generally speaking, South Korea is a country that has developed a step faster than our country. Although it currently relies on China economically, they are still worth learning from in terms of cultural industry, new rural construction, handling of the gap between rich and poor, social construction, and preservation of customs. of.
