These theories constitute a person's code of conduct and will determine the direction in which he thinks and makes decisions when facing each choice.

People with different native languages ​​can easily show completely different ways of dealing with the same problem.

There are great differences between Chinese and other language families in many aspects such as pronunciation, text pattern, sentence expression, logical structure, and emotional display.

Chinese is a fast language that favors accurate expression and is more specific.

English is a slow language that favors extended metaphors and is relatively abstract.

Chinese speakers tend to simply focus on the present, which seems practical.

Native English speakers tend to focus on the future. Native English speakers with broad enough knowledge and high sentiments tend to focus on the future. Therefore, when European and American scholars face the "doomsday problem", their performance does not disappoint.

But unfortunately, the largest number of people in the world are still ordinary people with relatively narrow knowledge levels.

Therefore, ordinary English-speaking people are easily immersed in the fear of abstract intensification, and have no time to think about any sense of responsibility.

According to Chen Feng's calculations, ordinary Chinese native speakers will be significantly different from ordinary English native speakers.

It’s not that the proportion of native Chinese speakers can be reversed, but the proportion focusing on the future and focusing on the present will be much higher.

Because Chinese can think of problems quickly enough.

When a person's overall knowledge level is narrow and his understanding of the nature of the world is not so deep and extensive, the fast structure of Chinese can make it easier for people to think about the future.

The slow structure of English makes people's thinking have to stay more on collecting the information that needs to be collected at the moment, and make slow decisions on the problems that need to be solved at the moment, that is, the repayment of credit cards and so on.

But at another level, through observation of the future, Chen Feng believes that top scholars, whether they are native Chinese or English native speakers, can actually focus on the present and focus on the future.

When speakers of two native languages ​​reach the pinnacle of their respective academic fields, they are no longer on par.

These people have sufficient knowledge and a broad enough worldview to transcend their own limitations.

At this time, the influence of mother tongue structure on people's emotions will be minimized.

In fact, there is a new logical paradox hidden here.

Are people with more knowledge more moral?

This is not the case.

Knowledge cannot cultivate morality.

Morality comes from the education a person receives from childhood and self-study as an adult.

The richness of knowledge does not completely represent the nobleness of morality.

It just means that people with high morals will add some extra sense of responsibility to themselves as a driving force when learning knowledge. These people will have a higher concentration in learning knowledge and a higher degree of desire for new knowledge.

Therefore, the proportion of top scholars with excellent moral standards is relatively high.

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t scumbags among scholars, individual cases still exist.

Although Chen Feng thought this in his heart and was a little unconvinced, he did not stand up to refute the opponent on the spot.

When the meeting was over, he took the initiative to communicate with the Oxford professor.

He expressed his doubts in private and invited the other party to return to China with him and conduct this kind of social experiment in the Chinese native language department.

The Oxford professor had already given up on this idea, but he could not refute Chen Feng's doubts and only said that the funds were limited.

"Don't worry about funding, I'll take care of it. We'll skip the small-town model social experiment and focus on questionnaire surveys, and strive to come up with conclusions within a week."

Professor Oxford narrowed his eyes, "Mr. Chen, are you sure you don't want to beautify your motherland?"

Chen Feng shook his head, "That's why I invite you to come instead of coming in person. You will be solely responsible for the final statistical results. I will only watch and never interfere. This will be more convincing."

"good."

Chen Feng rolled his eyes and decided to take care of his alma mater.

“Let’s just cooperate with Jiangnan University in Hanzhou?”

"No problem. My team hasn't been disbanded yet. When will it start?"

Chen Feng blinked, "Now."

Some things that may seem big to ordinary people, at Chen Feng's current level, actually only take a few sentences.

…

Nine days later.

The number of questionnaires in China is as high as one million, which is of great reference significance.

Looking at the results in front of him, the Oxford professor was dumbfounded.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, was very happy and filled with emotions.

Without comparison, there is no gap.

Although the vast majority of native Chinese speakers do not show a particularly obvious tendency when facing the crisis after a century/millennium, they basically agree with the idea of ​​working hard, strengthening learning, and trying to realize more self-worth.

Less than 30% of people show obvious disregard for matters that have nothing to do with themselves.

As for the crisis ten years later, the performance of the Chinese Department did not disappoint. Almost no Chinese showed obvious violent tendencies in the face of this irresistible doomsday.

In fact, there are still some, but this violent tendency is more inclined to the "enemy" whose situation is unknown behind the doomsday.

If they are completely unable to resist, most people prefer to stay with their families at the last moment.

The Oxford professor was very dissatisfied with the survey results and angrily accused, "The Chinese are so hypocritical!"

Chen Feng did not deny, "This may be really hypocritical. But if 70% of the people in a huge civilization are willing to be so 'hypocritical' and spend their lives in 'hypocrisy', it has become a kind of hypocrisy."

degree of sincerity. Isn't it? Businessmen are hypocritical in order to obtain more immediate benefits, but the proportion of the 'hypocritical' population in China is so large, can we gain more benefits by being hypocritical? Even if this is the case, what will you do?
