加國記者到港才知電梯靜

[2009-12-06]

有首次抵港的加國英文傳媒代表對於香港的設備，讚嘆不已。一眾記者乘坐位於港島金鐘的酒店電梯時，不禁驚嘆電梯如此靜以及如此高速，隨即有人說，這次訪華行程令他感受北美洲的基礎建設多落後。又說，此行三個站最喜歡香港，也看到亞洲的經濟增長，以及金融實力的「威力」。
在場的華裔傳媒對此就覺得，加國部分傳媒記者似有點大鄉里出城，香港很多電梯都是很寧靜和很快，沒感覺升降中的電梯在動，沒甚麼大不了。
哈珀訪華行程看來不僅帶來指定旅遊目的地等實質成果，似乎也加強了加國一些主流傳媒對中國的認識。
不少首次訪華的加國記者都表示，此行大開眼界，他們想像中的中國，原來和親眼看到的中國是有分別的。

井底之蛙终有幸跳出井外了解外边的西世！

作者: Catpiano 時間: 2009-12-11 08:16

Put it this way, they are about the same .. with some mall/hotel in HK, they just set their 電梯 a bit faster ..

Plus, the fact is, it is SO DAMN noisy in HK anyway, so by comparision, everything else is quiet ... people said how come cell phone ring tone is so loud in Canada as well la..

(by the way, this kind of thread .... is very .. Mr. T style wor .. )

所以人需要擴闊眼界﹐才不會被嘲笑無知囉。。。

唔知道一條光籤的方程式無人會笑你﹐但連看見電梯都“哇”一聲是否有點好笑﹖

作者: Littleprince 時間: 2009-12-11 10:58

當然我們生在 HK 是比較幸運﹐見過好多野﹐正如我十幾年前已經在香港中環工作﹐那些樓四十層﹐電梯又快又靜﹐但並唔等於我停留在HK 見過的東西上面﹐我們還去日本﹐去歐洲﹐去其他地方擴闊眼界﹐才不會讓自己變成井中之蛙。。。我這樣說也不是說我甚麼都見過﹐不要誤會﹐我越見得多也發現自己真的識得好少。。。只是﹐正如我上面所言﹐你不懂得一條化學方程式﹐或者怎樣醫癌症﹐都不會比人笑﹐但竟然為一架電梯﹐一件香港二十年前已有的東西﹐小孩子都用慣用熟的東西而驚訝﹐就算真是這樣都不該讓人知﹐暗啞底咪算囉﹐點解要話比人聽自己有多麼無知呢﹖這不是更加無知嗎﹖怎樣代表加拿大呢﹖間接令人笑加拿大人是鄉下人吧﹖

假如你現在看見自動沖水的廁所而週圍告訴人你的大發現﹐一樣會比人笑﹐就是這個意思。。。

sigh... seriously, Canada's technology in general is behind from Hong Kong, and some cities in China. But Canada's selling point should be the best place to live in the world, with good social benefits.
So it is good to know the different, but really hard to compare and say whether Canada is better/Hong Kong is better/China is better~~~ It really depends on what you want in the first place

And I agree with Littleprince about "暗啞底咪算囉"

If I go back to Hong Kong/China now I'll be a 鄉下人 too....

作者: BiscottiGelato 時間: 2009-12-11 13:14

Hmm... being proud of oneself and one's origin is nice.... but when it went overboard, that's arrogance.

I am just amazed at the speed where the conclusion was reached that the Canadian reporter was a 井中之蛙. I'd personally give the benefit of doubt to the Canadian reporter, and think that he/she was just being 客氣. I find the elevator in the CN tower to be very fast and quiet too, despite being a honger. In fact, I find infrastructure in China to be more amazing than a lot of places in HK. Newly built stuff will always be better, I won't be surprised if the Canadian reporter just happened to visit a newly implemented/renovated elevator in HK. North American infrastructure have always been much older, just beacuse it have been developed much earlier. If it works, why fix it? In comparison, China's infrastructure is very new. Am I supposed to be called a 井中之蛙 just because I find the new train/building/bridge/etc in China to be awesome?

HK infrastructures have always been world class, I'm not denying that. But attacking someone whose might just have been humble, sterotyping Canadians in general, and in the process to self inflate one's ego, is quite arrogant. This is not the first time I've read articles from Singtao to be self inflating and putting down other nationalities, especially local Canadians. I simply find it disgusting and disappointing. As Chinese, I don't know where our virtue of humbleness have went after all these years of rapid ascension in the world stage (can't deny that I also am an offender sometimes). However as a majorly published newspaper, it's just unacceptable. I guess we have learned nothing about multi-culturalism after all these years in Canada, and that's just sad.

It's not a technology problem. It's a money problem. Go to Shangri-la in downtown. I'm sure the elevator is gonna be nice and quiet and fast. Canada is never featured as a place where there's a lot of private business capital pouring in for capital investment projects like building tall buildings with fancy elevators.

Regardless, I don't see how that makes Canadians (whom are all immigrants anyways, just like u and I), "好天真好傻的﹐特別是白人", or "井底之蛙". I've seen countless amazingly smart um.... non-Chinese Canadians. Besides, when they haven't seen something u've taken for granted for years, you consider them as "井底之蛙". Then what should they call you when you haven't seen something that they've taken for granted for a long time?

This Singtao article didn't demonstrate anything in regards to '見識' to me. Rather, it demonstrated to me that there are many Chinese out there that have became amazingly arrogant over the years of rapid development that's taking place in China.

Finally... if a lot of caucassian is being discriminatory, it doesn't make it right to do the same back to them. It just makes one as disgusting as the discriminatory arrogant individual that is being despised of in the first place... kinda like Mr. T...

Regardless if its HK that's better, if Canada that's better / if HK ppl are smarter and well versed, or if it's Canadian that have more knowledge and international exposure. Calling names, stereotyping, discrimination, and self arrogance is disgusting, no matter how it's defended or justified. Seeing a fellow Chinese acting in such manner just makes me feel ashame, even tho I know I shouldn't be, because it's really just a single individual's thought and action....

For a moment, I was thinking if LittlePrince account was hacked and used by Mr.T to post LOL XD

U know what .. this is a REAL story ..

My friend (in HK) was so excited, telling people, there is "WARM" water coming out from the tap of whatever big hotel in HK ...

My wife had no idea what that is such a big deal .. since "WARM" water is NORMAL to Candian .. but just not to Honger ...

Same as when I am telling my friends in HK, there is "HEAT" in my parents home in HK, they were surprised ..  since most people in HK, don't care about HEAT ...

However, living in ALBERTA ..  do you think I need to tell people I have "HEAT" in my house?

These reporters who follow the PM all over the place are not that "ignorant". They have been to other countries like the US and Europe. But the problem with them, still is the fact they look down on China and the Chinese. They still cannot believe the rapid growth of China's economy. Or rather, they want to believe what they want to believe. Even after witnessing the successful hosting of the Beijing Olympics games, even after witnessing the steady growth of the Chinese economy during the current western economic calamity, they still think China is in the Ching dynasty, therefore they are still skeptical of a rising China's. It takes a China trip for them to finally "get it" and realize that the top tier Chinese cities are more advanced than Toronto, for example.

This is a very disturbing observation, since these reporters from Ottawa are supposed to inform Canadians of what they see around the world, instead of keeping Canadians in the dark. But these reporters themselves are ignorant about the rise of China. How do you think ordinary Canadians would learn more about China?

It makes you wonder what these Canadians ambassadors and foreign affairs officals have been doing, if it takes the prime minister to visit China personally, to finally "get it". It should clear by now that all these years, the western media has been cranking out anti-Chinese materials and reading each others' China-bashing articles.
