Why do us Chinese possess such blazing national confidenceToday I’ll tell you exactly why.
他的声音不大，但那种从骨子里透出来的笃定，让整个直播间都安静了。
弹幕停了，连那个外国男人的表情都僵了一瞬。
“Across the world, only China has continuously used and systematically developed pictographic Chinese characters for millennia.”
裴书的语速不快不慢，每一个单词都咬得极其清晰，像一把手术刀在解剖一个事实。
紫色的眼睛没有看镜头，而是盯着屏幕里那个美国人，目光平静得像一潭死水，但那潭死水底下有岩浆。
“No other ethnic group possesses both the raw physical strength of Black people in sprinting and the intellectual sharpness of Caucasians in academic papers. No other country has withstood an attack by a 17nation alliance and still preserved its full sovereignty. No other economy has broken through a global blockade and risen powerfully in less than a hundred years. No other nation, facing an unknown and deadly virus, decisively locked down its cities and vowed to protect every citizen’s life.”
“Among the four great ancient civilizations, only the Chinese civilization has never been broken. Ancient Babylon, Ancient Egypt, and Ancient India have long been buried in the river of history. Only China has continued, long and unbroken, from antiquity to the present day.”
弹幕开始疯狂涌回来，但这一次不是骂那个外国人了，是尖叫：
「卧槽书书的英文！！！」
「这口语我跪了」
「他说‘No other’的时候我鸡皮疙瘩起来了」
「美国人脸都绿了哈哈哈哈哈」
「书书你到底是什么宝藏」
「这一段我要录下来循环播放」
裴书没有停。
他的声音从沉稳变成了一种更深沉的东西，像一条大河在宽阔的河床上奔涌，表面平静，底下全是力量。
“Since ancient times, we Chinese have believed that heaven rewards hard work, and we uphold righteousness between heaven and earth. For millennia, we have never lacked those who bury themselves in hard work, those who stand firm with unyielding spirit, those who plead for the people, and those who sacrifice themselves for the nation. This is the immortal backbone of China.”
他微微前倾，紫色的眼睛靠近镜头，像在和屏幕那头的美国人对话，又像在和直播间里每一个人对话。
“Whenever the nation faces lifeanddeath crises — the people of Hunan swear to defend China to the last person, yielding not an inch. The sons of Shaanxi devote themselves to the nation, fearing neither life nor death. The sons and daughters of Sichuan vow never to return home until the invaders are driven out. The heroes of the Central Plains give their lives for justice, never betraying their rivers and mountains. The land of Yan and Zhao has been home to loyal and impassioned warriors since ancient times. The people of Lingnan, resolute and ironblooded, protect the nation. The Northeast, though once torn by warlord rivalries, never forgot the greater cause of the Chinese people.”

第318章 文化自信
他的语速微微加快，像历史画卷在他口中一帧一帧地展开。
弹幕已经疯了：
「湖南人报到！」
「陕西人报到！」
「四川人报到！」
「河南人报到！」
「河北人报到！」
「广东人报到！」
「东北人报到！」
「书书你怎么什么都知道……」
裴书没有看弹幕，他的眼睛始终盯着那个外国人。
那个美国人已经不再抬下巴了，他的嘴唇微微张着，像是在想反驳的话，但找不到出口。
“In times of peace, we tease each other with affection. When the nation is in danger, regardless of north or south, young or old, we stand together as one, guarding our rivers and mountains. If war comes, we answer the call. Not only the soldiers defending our borders — all 1.4 billion Chinese people refuse to be slaves and refuse to shame their ancestors.”
