With the expansion of the new coronary virus epidemic, China and countries around the world have taken various corresponding measures. Although these measures are different, they can be understood and respectful.It is a pity that there are also some discharge and humiliating remarks on the media and the Internet of some countries, and the disease is linked to the Chinese, which seems to be reminiscent of the historical scourge theory.

First of all, it is necessary to point out that this kind of remarks with obvious racism must be discarded by the modern civilized society. At the same time, it is also necessary to optimize the living space of Huang Disun's survival.

The mutation of the yellow scourge theory

Tracing traceability, Huang Due theory originated from the beginning of the racist speech that closely linked the Chinese with virus, plague, and infectious diseases.Once upon a time, China was degraded as East Asian sick husbands in the early 19th and 20th centuries.A twin -type symbol was memories of the world in that era.

And this kind of Chinese scourge is directly projected overseas, and those Chinese who have traveled through the ocean to the ocean to the early days of overseas work, and established Chinatown in various places. Due to economic conditions, early Chinatown and Chinese communities often had poor sanitation conditions.Once the disease occurs, whether or not this disease first comes from here, it will be suspected or even directly determined to be the source of infection.

In a sense, the theory of yellow scourge was the result of the superimposed Chinese (Chinese) of the Chinese and ill -disease plague from the beginning.Whether it is the American exclusion bill or the Chinese discharge campaign elsewhere, there are more or less shadows of this idea.

After a century of vicissitudes, the construction of China's state has completely got rid of the original endangered disintegration, a plate of scattered sand, and poverty and weakness. Today, no one will say to China, which has grown into the world's second largest economy. This is a weak country. This is a weak country.EssenceHowever, Huang Dao's theory did not seem to disappear, but a mutant version appeared.A development of China that develops is unprecedentedly enhanced by the world. Chinese guests who have made a living in the early days have been replaced by a large number of Chinese guests who are in business, studying abroad, and traveling.

However, once China has infectious diseases, the yellow scrupulus seems to be able to reflect the conditions of the Chinese as a yellow scourge of the virus.It is ironic that the yellow disaster theory of mutation after a century seems to be believed that with the rise of China and the strong exchanges with the world, it will even spread more viruses and problems.

The future of the yellow scourge

First of all, we need to see the development trend of modern civilization so that the theory of yellow scourge based on racism is fundamentally increasingly unable to stand in terms of morality.The development of human civilization has been proven again and again that racism can only lead to conflict and war, and will not solve any problems.Although many countries have taken some measures in this epidemic, most of them are in response to and controlling the epidemic, which is not essentially different from the measures of the flow of domestic control personnel.

In contrast to this, the discharge and insulting China is completely different.However, we also have to see that countries around the world are also very clear about this. Singapore Prime Minister Li Xianlong said that the discharge of China is not to fight the epidemic. It is ignorance, logical, and impulsive mentality.The Ministry of Health officials said at a press conference that those remarks on the Chinese harmed the human rights of the Chinese.Although there are many experiences and lessons in the response to the epidemic, the practice of linked the disease with the Chinese is the words and deeds of racism, which is contrary to the modern civilized society. It requires confidence in this.

Secondly, from China itself, it also needs to completely change the food hygiene habits of a very few people and reduce the soil space of yellow scourge theory.One of the important basis for infectious diseases is that the Chinese people have poor hygiene habits.It is reported that the virus originated from bats, and the Sand (Shas) is said to be fruit raccoon, and these animals are placed on the market for sale and consumption, which is considered an important reason for the new virus.

For a long time, it is often a very sensitive topic about what to eat. Whether it is Koreans who eat dog meat or Japanese people eat whale meat, they have been scratched by animal protection groups internationally.However, as the practice of food trading in the market, and the exposure of the market itself, this is contrary to modern civilization, not to mention the problem of public health. Such dietary hygiene habits must be prohibited.

It should be noted that most of the three meals of Chinese people do not have these wild animals, but the behavior of very few people has caused all Chinese people to be implicated.At the same time, we also have to see the public health status of rural villages in China. There is still a lot of room for improvement. With the development of the country, the global scientific and hygienic enlightenment movement also needs to be on the agenda. For example, Chinese leaders are actively activeThe toilet revolution advocated is an important signal in this direction.

The international influence caused by the epidemic itself also shows that after the rise of China, no matter what China has happened, it will have an impact on the world. After the epidemic is over, the world still needs to cooperate with China, and the direction of China's opening up will not change.A century ago, the theory of yellow scourge could be isolated Chinese on Chinatown, and the fear of Chinese disease could not beolate the world from China 100 years later.
