Chapter 761 China’s National Gift Porcelain

China owes you a favor!

Xia Xing knew very well the weight of this sentence.

China's national gift porcelain!

What does it mean to receive the gift of porcelain from China?

It means the highest honor awarded by the country to an individual.

National gift porcelain is usually only given to foreign heads of state, such as presidents, prime ministers and other important figures, but Xia Xing was the only person to receive a national gift porcelain during his lifetime.

This kind of porcelain is a special model fired according to the highest standards. Each piece is unique. The production process went through more than 80 processes and took more than 20 days. It was selected as a gift for state guests in 2018.

National gift porcelain not only represents the respect and gratitude of the country, but also symbolizes the kindness and sincerity of Chinese people towards foreign friends. Its significance goes far beyond ordinary courtesy. It is even called the "real-life version of Aladdin's magic lamp" by Chinese people. "National Gift Porcelain" means owning a "Huaguo Brand Amulet".

Canadian Dr. Bethune saved the lives of countless balujun soldiers during the Anti-Japanese War. He himself died from a bacterial infection during surgery, and his story is well known.

Not many people know the story of another German who won this honor, John Rabe. During his stay in Nanjingdatusha, in order to save the people of Nanjing, he used his German identity to change his residence into a shelter and took in more than 600 refugees. In order to save more Chinese people, he contacted other foreign envoys and pastors in Nanjing, and jointly set up an international safety zone of 4 square kilometers. With his great love, he saved the lives of 25 Chinese people.

Chinese people will always remember this kindness.

After the end of World War II, John Rabe was already in his sixties.

Without a job and sleeping on the street, the lifesaver of 25 Chinese people is now reduced to this, which is really heartbreaking.

After learning about this incident, the Chinese government launched a fundraising campaign in Nanjing, and almost all NJ citizens who had received Rabe's help began to donate.

In just a few days, donations for John Bellabey have reached $1 million.

When the money was delivered to John Rabe, he burst into tears. Until 1950, when John Rabe died of a stroke, he still never forgot China.

In March 2020, the Chinese Embassy in Germany received a special distress call.

The call came from Heidelberg, from a doctor. The doctor said that he and his family members seemed to have been infected with the virus, and they have already developed obvious symptoms. Although they have been protected, they have not been able to escape. Because Germany was experiencing a serious shortage of supplies and medicines at the time, the doctor chose to seek help from China as a last resort.

The doctor who called was Thomas Rabe, the grandson of John Bellah!

Helping friends is your duty!

After receiving this request for help, the Chinese Embassy in Germany immediately spread the news to the country.

Afterwards, the Chinese government sent people to support him and spontaneously raised 620 bottles of anti-epidemic drugs and multiple sets of masks, protective clothing and other scarce materials, which were donated to the German doctor free of charge.

These life-saving supplies successfully arrived at the German airport after a long journey. The staff of the Chinese Embassy in Germany immediately sent the supplies to their destination more than 700 kilometers away without stopping, and delivered them to German doctors as soon as possible.

The moment he received the supplies, Thomas Rabe burst into tears.

This boat of friendship that has spanned nearly a hundred years is still sailing today!

This made Aliona and Li De envious.

But envy is envy, Aliona and Li De cannot donate 8 million yuan.

Not to mention that you don’t have that much money, even if you do, you wouldn’t be able to donate that much.

Both of them made symbolic donations of hundreds of thousands of euros and were already praised by the media.

Speaking of donations, in addition to donating to China and Manchester United fans, Xia Xing also donated more than 200 million euros specifically to the city of Leicester.

He handed the money directly to his branch manager in Leicester for him to handle.

After all, as a former Leicester City player, he still has a lot of affection for this city.

This donation is also to help the fans who have supported him.

After all, the sculpture with Xia Xing's name still stands outside the Leicester City Club, not far behind the statue of Vichai. As time went by, the plague was gradually brought under control.

However, this so-called "control" also varies by region.

For example, in Asia, especially China, the degree of control is quite large.

The nationwide fangyi work reflects the advantages of the system to a certain extent.

Many countries in Europe and the United States seem to have it under control, but in fact they are flat.

For these capitalist countries, the lives and deaths of civilians are far less important than the revenue of consortiums.

Many heads of state have even come forward to say that the plague is not a big problem, that everyone should not panic, and that there is no need to take too many measures.

But after they said these words, they wore the kouzhao tightly and checked once a day.

In the end, it is the common people who are unlucky.

But for many young people who advocate freedom, these are not important and it is best to be happy.

Therefore, as time goes by, many sports events have gradually resumed.

For example, the Bundesliga restarted in May.

Ligue 1 has almost not been suspended and is basically proceeding according to the originally planned schedule.

Some time later, the Premier League, Serie A, and La Liga also resumed their games one after another.

The resumption of the Champions League and Europa League is also planned.

According to internal news from UEFA, they are preparing to resume the Champions League and Europa League after the end of the five major leagues.

Create a little bit of time distance.

In the face of the resumption of competitions, although there are many players' objections, after all, they are outspoken.

Both UEFA and various clubs are extremely supportive of the resumption of the league.

After all, they hold the sponsorship fees from advertisers. If they don't play games, the investment from advertisers will also decrease, which will seriously affect the team's income. Advertisers are not to blame; after all, they are also affected.

And even if they don't play football, the club still has to pay salaries to the players as usual, which is also a huge expense.

Especially for a giant like Manchester United, player salaries are an important part of the team's expenses.

Facing pressure from many aspects, many clubs can hardly bear it, especially these giants who are under great pressure.

Let's resume the game as soon as possible. We can still maintain the existing advertising revenue and subsidize it with ticket revenue.

Under much attention, all five major leagues finally resumed competition in June.

In the next two months, with an intensive schedule approaching, the green battle begins again! (End of chapter)
