Witness of the film and television world

Chapter 3 The Color of the Times

Greenwood Town Center School - The entire school is white, including the school nurse.

(In fact, except for the white community schools with mental disabilities, it is difficult for us to find black people. You can see their shadows in picking dung and cooking porridge.)
This is unimaginable in later generations. Those federal citizens of African descent have long been crying and complaining about racial discrimination.

But these days, it's normal!
Today, society is generally racially segregated.

Of course, we are not discriminatory, the mainstream view of society is "separate and equal principle."

See, though we are separate, we are equal.

Awesome!

Give our MP a thumbs up!
It would be even better if they could be deported and go back to their hometown in Africa. I will definitely vote for you with my whole family.

Blacks and whites must keep a distance, once violated, um...you don't want to know the consequences, try and die!

White cops in most states can shoot you at the slightest suspicion.

Alabama is also known as the "hit the black action state".

According to statistics, there were more than a thousand incidents of black police assaults in Alabama last year, and what awaited them were special iron lumps of justice carrying gunpowder.

No chances are allowed!

Boom, my head is blooming!
Payton has to be thankful that he is also a white man, and can get certain guarantees in terms of educational resources and personal safety.

In the state of Anabama and even the entire United States today, blacks cannot enter white universities. To be precise, most of them have been segregated from the beginning of their studies.

Also, most state universities are white.

As a result, few blacks have the power to go to college.

The special case that Peyton can imagine is that group of orangutans who have made achievements in sports. Their innate wisdom has not been enlightened, and their original talents have not degenerated. It is fair to drink and peck.

Of course, there are historically black colleges as well.

It's just that only the elite among blacks can enter traditional black universities

Well...by elite I mean mostly black people from high-status families.

The social system changes, but some things do not change. Among the blacks, there are always black-skinned and white-hearted elites.

They have specialized schools, traditionally black colleges.

However, as we all know, among such black elites, there are many who hate their own black skin, and think that their black skin is the greatest suffering, and their attitude towards black people is even worse than that of white people.

Hehe, even white people don't welcome you, and you still hope that the black-skinned and white-hearted elites will lower their standards and accept you?
So the average black man who wants college is like a black man who can do math, whimsical!

……

The first day of study and life passed quickly.

The only thing that Peyton finds interesting is a teacher in the Academic Affairs Office - Jenna.

That is a very sexy woman, a representative of women's rights in line with this era.

During recess, the female teacher was wearing a neat teacher uniform, and three or five men stood at the end of the corridor to smoke, and the men scrambled to light cigarettes for her.

Payton inexplicably thought of Marilyn in the beautiful legend of Sicily.

It was a great work. In the previous life, Peyton's ideological education was inspired by it. In this life, maybe... dance with Monica and communicate deeply.

It's just that this teacher Jenna is far less attractive than Monica, and Peyton is a little disappointed.

……

The first day of study passed quickly, and Peyton put down his schoolbag when he returned home.

"Little Peyton, how is school life?" Mrs. Chris asked kindly.

Peyton just nodded, and said casually: "Not bad, I know a friend, his name is Forrest Gan!"

"It's really good news, Little Peyton has a friend!" Mrs. Chris was very pleasantly surprised.

In her opinion, Payton is good everywhere, but he has been precocious since he was a child, and his IQ is higher than his age, and he can't play with people of his age, so he seems a bit withdrawn.

Didn't expect to have made friends just after going to school?

The school is indeed a good place.

"Forrest Gan sounds like a smart kid," Mrs. Chris said in a rambling voice.

Peyton ignored Mrs. Chris and drank the milk. A thick milky scent rushed over his face, refreshing.

Suddenly, a newspaper headline on the table caught his attention.

"Huh? On September 1951, 9, the "San Francisco-Japan Peace Treaty" was signed..."

Today is the ninth, and here is the latest news from yesterday.

Seeing the headline on the front page of the Chicago International and the highlighted Japan, Payton was a little curious.

In recent years, the international situation has been full of demons, and a lot of countries whose names Payton has never heard of make headlines in the international section from time to time.

The federal people who had just experienced a major war instinctively paid attention to politics.

Especially the red country in the east.

Payton pays attention to the international headlines of each issue.

In this regard, Mr. Chris is the same as him. They are both politically sensitive people.

After all, Mr. Chris' ambition is to become an outstanding politician!
When it comes to the current social background, the big background goes back five years.

The end of World War II, without the common enemy of the Communist Party of China, the era of the two superpowers began.

Well, as it should be, Daiying was kicked out of the ranks of superpowers.

The only superpowers are the Soviet Republic and the United States of America!
In January 1946, former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was invited to visit the United States. On March 1, accompanied by President Truman, he arrived in Fulton, Missouri. "Speech.

During the speech, Churchill said: "From Stettin on the Baltic Sea to Trieste on the Adriatic Sea, an iron curtain has descended across the European continent!"

That's right, it was the famous Iron Curtain speech, and Churchill was on the cover of that issue of The Atlantic.

This chubby guy is definitely a typical smiling tiger. Payton finds it hard to believe that this guy was also a handsome man when he was young.

Later, Peyton specifically found that issue of the report to read.

The Iron Curtain speech officially opened the prelude to the Cold War. On March 1947, 3, the introduction of the Truman Doctrine in the United States marked the beginning of the Cold War.

The so-called Truman Doctrine is: Truman proposed "containing communism" as the guiding ideology of the country's political ideology and foreign policy.

The Cold War is the background of the current era, and the confrontation between the Federation and the Soviet Union has become the international mainstream.

In this context, many international events took place.

After World War II, under the joint promotion of the United States and the Soviet Union, the anti-colonial trend became more and more intense.

The colonies everywhere scrambled to play slogans of freedom, democracy, and anti-colonialism, and they demanded independence.

On May 1946, 5, Jordan gained independence, and in June of the same year, the republic returned to Italy.

On July 7, the Philippines gained independence from the United States.

On August 1947-8, 14, Pakistan and India each gained independence from Britain.

On January 1948, 1, Burma became independent from the United Kingdom.

On May 1948, 5, David Ben-Gurion, executive director of the World Zionist Organization, declared Israel's independence.

In September 1948, the Korean peninsula was divided into North Korea and South Korea, which indirectly laid the groundwork for the "Korean War".

1949年 9月7日和10月7日，西德和东德分别正式成立。

On October 1949, 10, the Communist Party of China completely unified the mainland and established the People's Republic of China.

On that day, under the organization of Zhigongtang and other organizations, Chinese people across the United States took to the streets.

An old Chinese in the Peyton community also held a special BBQ party. The sweet sausage was very good, and it tasted like Cantonese. Peyton still remembers the sweet taste.

……

On June 1950, 6, the Korean War broke out...the South was supported by the US and the UK, while the North was supported by China and the Soviet Union.

The war is still going on, and Payton, of course, knows that this time China will win.

Great Patriotic War!

In his previous life, Peyton could only see those big events in the history books, but in this life, he can learn more.

Not just simple text understanding, including the impact of these events, from the reaction of the people at that time, and the impact on life, you can deeply feel it from all aspects...

Picking up the newspaper to read, Peyton wondered what the hell was going on.

Against the background of the Cold War, the whole world seems to be sitting on a nuclear bomb barrel, and everything deserves to be placed under the microscope and focused on.

In a short while, Payton had a deep understanding of the "San Francisco vs. Japan Peace Treaty."

The peace treaty is mainly to solve the post-war status of Japan, a defeated country after World War II.

The second article of the peace treaty states that Japan recognizes the independence of Korea and renounces the rights of islands such as Taiwan, Penghu, Thousand Islands, southern Sakhalin, Nansha Islands, and Xisha Islands.

The peace treaty came into force on April 1952, 4.

At that time, the seven-year military occupation of Japan by the Allied Powers will end, Japan's status in the international community will return to normal, and Japan will once again become an independent country.

Japanese independence?

After reading it, Peyton thought of something, and sighed slightly: "Such an important treaty, there is no major victorious country involved?"

"What did you say? Little Peyton?"

"Ah, it's nothing, Mom, I'm going to eat roasted yam tonight, and it would be even better if there is Cantonese-style sweet sausage." Payton said casually.

"Well, I really don't understand why you like to eat this." Mrs. Chris looked helpless.

Since the last time I went to a party organized by the old Chinese in the community, several children in their family fell in love with these strange oriental foods.

She had to bother the neighbor to learn the relevant production methods. Fortunately, Mrs. Lin is also a reasonable lady, and the two had a friendly exchange.

Now the small garden at home grows a lot of vegetables, and there are also many pickled Chinese food at home.

Ignoring Mrs. Chris and looking at the newspaper, Peyton shook his head again.

This is the current international situation.

Even the Soviet Union is crazily demonized in the public opinion of the society. In some remote areas of the Federation, that country is even more distorted and terrifying than Cthulhu.

Continue to look at the newspaper, which records many interesting things.

For example, the international section of the Railway Worker newspaper recorded several stories satirizing the Soviet Union, which almost made Peyton giggle.

Story [-]:

An old man wandered on the sidewalk, accidentally fell into the river beside the road, and shouted for help.

The two Soviet policemen heard it and turned a blind eye, talking and laughing as usual while walking.

The old man became wise in a hurry, and then shouted "Down with Stalin"!
The two policemen were shocked when they heard this, and quickly jumped into the river, dragged the old man ashore and handcuffed him.

Story [-]:
In the Moscow Metro.

"Hello, citizen."

"Hello."

"Are you a comrade of the KGB (KGB)?"

"No."

"Have you been before?"

"No."

"Are any of your immediate family members working in the KGB system?"

"No."

"Then please move your foot away, you are stepping on me."

It is clearly called the Railway Workers’ Daily—it doesn’t have the air of a worker at all.

Seeing these jokes, Peyton laughed it off, and then thought that the boss of this newspaper is really brave, isn't he afraid of KGB comrades?

If the KGB comrades find him and give him a bullet, wouldn't it be game over?

Continue to read the newspaper, there is no entertainment these days, even the cartoons are black and white, "Doo Puppy" is not as exciting as later generations, and Peyton doesn't like to play house with his peers.

Except for some sports, Payton likes to read books and newspapers quietly.

　Soviet short story three:
　　A red star dies.

　　Because he was an atheist but was very honest, he was sentenced to cycle between hell and heaven every other year.

　　He stayed in hell for the first year. One year later, Satan said to God: "Take him away quickly, I have to restore order. He is about to develop all the little devils in hell into young pioneers."

　　Another year passed, and Satan went to God and said, "God, it's his turn to come to me again"

　　God replied: "First, don't call me God, you should call me Comrade. Second, there is no God here. Finally, don't delay my work. I am rushing to attend the party meeting."
