Hello students, I’m Lao Chen. Today we’re going to talk about a recent hot topic, the American guy Evan Kyle.
You know what? Some time ago, Evan came to China to play, the result of the plane was surrounded by fans, enthusiastic as hell. It was a big deal on the Internet, and even foreigners couldn’t understand what was going on.
To be honest, when I first heard about this, I was also quite puzzled. How did a young man from the United States become so popular in China just because he donated an old photo album? Then I looked into the situation and realized that there was something going on here.
Let’s start with the album, which Evan found in his family’s pawn shop in 2022. When he opened it, it was full of photos of the Japanese invasion of China, bloody and brutal. Evan realized at that time that this thing was quite important and had to be handed over to a professional for study.
Think about it, Japan has been denying its crimes in China for years, saying we have no evidence. Now, Evan’s photo album is a solid piece of evidence! It means a lot to China.
Evan’s sense of justice and courage to donate such an important piece of historical evidence to China deserves our respect.
But it’s not that simple. After Evan posted a video saying he would donate the album to China, he was threatened by many people. But he still insisted on donating the photo album. Tell me, doesn’t this young man have quite a backbone?
Let’s talk about the set of national gift porcelain we gave to Evan. Some people think it’s too cheap to send a porcelain, isn’t it? That’s not true! It’s not just any porcelain, it’s a Chinese national gift.
Guess how much it’s worth? At least six figures! And it’s even more important. Besides Evan, only two foreigners have ever received this kind of national gift in their personal name, one is Bai Qiu’en and the other is John Rabe. Both of them left their mark on Chinese history.
So, by giving Evan this gift, we are treating him as a foreign friend who has made great contributions to China. This favor can’t be measured in money.
Interestingly, there is a French guy, Marcus, who also donated a similar album. But he is not as famous as Evan. Why?
I think it may be because Evan posted the video publicly on the Internet and insisted on donating it after being threatened, so his courage is more impressive. Evan also traveled to China and interacted with Chinese netizens, which made him seem more friendly.
You see, Evan this thing, on the surface is a donation of a photo album, in fact, contains too many things historical evidence, a sense of justice, courage, and the gratitude of the Chinese people. That’s the real reason for his popularity.
Students, we learn history not only to remember the events of the year, but also to learn to savor the glory of human nature. Evan is an international friend who deserves our respect. But at the same time, we also need to keep rational, do not blindly follow the star.
Finally, I would like to say, I hope that everyone can be like Evan, in critical moments dare to stand up and speak out for justice. This is the spirit we should learn!
Well, that’s it for today’s topic. Students have any ideas, welcome to discuss together in the comment section!
