After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 300 Is It Beautiful?
After eating, Li Zhuo and Ruan Ngoc Zhu walked on the streets of Hanoi to eliminate food while chatting.

Ruan Yuzhu briefly talked about her competition experience, and it is no wonder that she was sad. The previous Miss Vietnam Universe champions entered the top ten of Miss Universe several times, and even entered the top five in some years.

Originally, she was reported with higher expectations, but the result was not good.

Li Zhuo comforted:
"Don't be sad about it. The organizers of this kind of competition are all Westerners. Their aesthetics must be different from that of the East. The more Eastern they are, the less likely they will be recognized by them. So sometimes they will deliberately cater to them. This year In the Thai beauty pageant, Amanda, who won the championship, is of mixed race, in essence, this is actually the pua of the Thai beauty pageant against her."

Li Zhuo has always had a standpoint when looking at issues, but he doesn't think that the East and the West can share in the matter of aesthetics.

What's more, will the champions selected with Western aesthetics really make Eastern people think they look good?

Besides, this thing has a useless purpose. Li Zhuo admits that western scientific and technological achievements and the setting of scientific and technological awards are really valuable.

For example, it makes sense to judge a country's scientific and technological strength by the number of academic papers published in top journals such as nature and science.

Because the papers published in top journals reflect the current research level of a country in the field of cutting-edge technology and basic science. come out.

Of course, statistics show that the number of scientific and technological papers published in top journals this year surpassed that of the United States for the first time in China.

In the foreseeable future, China's advancement in this area will only become stronger. In other words, the two countries will only become bigger and bigger in the future.

This thing is the thing that kills.

As for the Nobel Prize in Literature, the beauty pageant, and the highest film award, not only are they useless, but we must also be wary of Western cultural colonization and the infiltration of Western value consciousness.

After the Celestial Dynasty becomes stronger, this kind of soft power will only radiate outward, rather than being influenced by others.

Of course, then again, this is the competitiveness that only a big country like China can have. For small countries like Vietnam and Thailand, let’s just live a good life.

Therefore, Li Zhuo comforted him again:

"Besides, I think your appearance, figure, and skin color are all in line with the aesthetics of oriental people. If you don't believe me, let me prove it to you."

Li Zhuo had noticed a little girl on the side of the street a long time ago, she was probably a child of a rich family from the way she was dressed.

Li Zhuo greeted her and asked in English:
"Little girl, do you understand English? Or Chinese?"

The little girl was a little surprised, her eyes were wide open, and she paused before saying:

"I can speak English."

"Very good, then, do you think this sister is pretty?" Li Zhuo pointed at Ruan Yuzhu as he spoke.

Ruan Yuzhu is tall, with a good figure and a pretty face, so she looks more comfortable.

After the little girl saw it, she said to Li Zhuo:
"She's tall and beautiful..."

Ruan Yuzhu was wondering what Li Zhuo was going to do, but after the little girl praised her, she couldn't help laughing.

And I feel very happy, after all, the child's words are more trustworthy.

When she smiled, she seemed more friendly, so the little girl said again:
"My sister looks good when she smiles, hehe, I wish I could look as good-looking as my sister when I grow up."

Li Zhuo smiled and said:

"Yes, you must be beautiful when you grow up, little girl, thank you."

Ruan Yuzhu also expressed his gratitude:

"Thank you, little sister, I am honored."

The two waved goodbye to the little girl, and Li Zhuo asked:
"How is it? Do you feel better now?"

"Yeah, really, I feel much happier all of a sudden." The smile on Ruan Yuzhu's face obviously increased.

On the streets of Vietnam, because of the hot weather, many girls in very cool clothes are on the street.

I feel that there are quite a few beauties with long and white legs, and there are many strapless and backless ones, and they are generally thinner.

It gives people a feeling that there are beauties everywhere, of course, it may be because this is a metropolis, and the countryside should not be so open.

Moreover, it began to give people the feeling of dressing up in a foreign style.

Ruan Yuzhu smiled and said:
"My life experience shows that Vietnam's street fashion has changed a lot in the past two or three years. It is obvious that girls are more and more able to wear it. Maybe in a few years, they will be similar to urban girls in mainland China."

Li Zhuo nodded, Vietnam is indeed developing rapidly, it is more obvious when you look at the big cities, but of course the countryside is not so good.

On the whole, it is close to the domestic situation more than ten years ago.

There are many bar boys and beauties stopping pedestrians on the road, hoping that they can enter the bar for consumption.

Li Zhuo had Ruan Yuzhu by his side, she was so pretty, he didn't intend to take her into the bar.

By the way, he also noticed that in the dark of the shop on the street, there was a girl standing waiting for customers, wearing revealing clothes, with a mobile phone in her hand, looking around in the crowd.

Sure enough, no matter where, this kind of freelance work is difficult to eradicate.

Moreover, many of those who are used to talking to these women are foreigners, especially white skins.

The cultural infiltration of the West is obvious, and the helplessness of backward countries.

……

The next morning, Li Zhuo made an appointment with Ruan Ngoc Chu, asked for the hotel's courtesy car, and went to Baiding Temple in Jiayuan County, Ninh Binh Province.

From Hanoi to Ninh Binh Province, you have to cross Hexi Province and Ha-Nam in the middle. This province has the same name as the country. It sounds quite far away, but in fact, it takes a little more than an hour to go there by car.

Therefore, the provinces in Vietnam may as well be regarded as domestic cities, and they are still relatively small cities.

After leaving Hanoi, I can feel that the building and road conditions have become much worse.

After arriving at Baiding Temple, Li Zhuo was surprised by the scale of the temple, which covers an area of ​​more than 539 hectares, and it is still located on the mountain, and the construction industry is relatively scattered.

If you walk with your feet, you will be more tired. Li Zhuo and the others took a battery car to shuttle.

This temple was built in 968 AD, 1050 years ago, and it is considered one of the oldest temples in Vietnam.

There are few tourists here and it seems relatively deserted.

Moreover, the temple buildings seen on the road are very Chinese-style, and the statues enshrined in the temple are also typical Chinese Buddha statues.

There are many places with Chinese inscriptions, which are more interesting.

You must know that northern Vietnam has belonged to the Jiaozhi area since the Han Dynasty, and it did not achieve independence until the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, which was almost in the 10th century.

Therefore, when this temple was built, it was almost when Vietnam had just become independent. After being ruled for 1000 years, Vietnam has been influenced by Chinese culture in terms of aesthetics, system, and culture, so the temple style is close to normal.

The 500 arhats in it, including the shape of Sakyamuni Buddha, are basically the same as those in China. Li Zhuo even thinks that there is a separate statue wearing a general's armor, which is very similar to Guan Erye.

I don't know if it is, but even if it is, it is normal.

After Li Zhuo arrived at the main hall, the censer in his sea of ​​consciousness flew out, attached to the large stone censer again, and began to absorb endless incense veins from the main hall.
