I REALLY DIDN'T MEAN TO BE THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD

Chapter 980: Chapter 609: Open Conspiracy_2

Damon nodded; he was well aware of this, “It’s not uncommon in pure Chinese families. Chinese people are indeed like this, this set in their ways. But we understand your different ethnic customs, just as you also have a deep understanding of others.”

Lila Brown: “Actually, this kind of family has caused me a lot of trouble. I once felt very painful, and even occasionally had a feeling of being torn apart. I lived between the modernized social knowledge system and the old traditional family values.”

“I wanted to escape but couldn’t cut off my family ties. I wanted to be lazy, but I couldn’t let go of the responsibility the sages had taught me. My heart was like a floating duckweed with nowhere to rest until I met James Wright, and only then did I realize how happy it was to focus my mind on one particular person and a specific matter, without worrying about anything else.”

“I have asked myself many times, whether my feelings for James Wright were love, or simply a desire for gene pairing, or the impulse to breed better genetic offspring for humanity? I didn’t find the answer.”

“Later, I found that when I started to think about love, I couldn’t help but compare myself to my parents.”

Damon interjected: “Your father, Dr. Brown, and your mother, Dr. Lee, had a love marriage, right?”

“Yes, they were childhood sweethearts who loved each other deeply and sincerely. I can feel my own envy of them, and I also realized that I am, after all, a very traditional Chinese person. No matter how much I resisted before, my family inevitably determined my way of thinking. Of course, I am also trying to adapt to other people’s worldviews, because the importance of unity goes without saying. But I must admit that no matter how many languages I master and how hard I try to integrate, I will clearly recognize the differences between you and me.”

Damon: “The diversification of ideologies is in line with the development plan of the Empire, so you don’t have to be anxious and blame yourself. We are all working towards the same goal using different ways of life.”

Lila Brown: “But I must tell you the real difference between Chinese people and you. Before human technology took off, China experienced centuries of decline and depression. We suffered heavy losses in the war and were in dire straits. After the war, we endured decades of long-lasting repression.”

Damon: “That’s all in the past. The Empire doesn’t encourage hatred; now we have a common enemy.”

Lila Brown: “Yes, I know. But what I’m saying here is not hatred, but the objective facts that must be respected. Compared to you, Chinese people have experienced much more. This modern history is different from the history of thousands of years ago – the new data carriers in the information age and detailed video materials allow us to see the history more clearly.”

“Leader Damon, do you know? The road to China’s rise was not as easy as it was briefly described after the establishment of the World Government. It was a lonely and thorny journey of suffering. We rose from humble beginnings, making difficult progress step by step in the midst of hostile surroundings. It took us a hundred years of struggle to stand atop the world once again. The hardships and dangers in the process of struggle have been engraved deep into our national memory. Compared to others, we have a lot more experience and lessons in dealing with crises.”

“Only six hundred years have passed, and the memory of our nation is not so easily forgotten. In the past, we converged our edge for the common goal of all mankind, choosing to treat the world with a more inclusive attitude. But today, I must let you know how Chinese people usually treat their work in a crisis.”

“My father told me that my post is my life! If the job is important enough, and if the post is related to the life and death of many others, Chinese people will hold their ground. We will complain and envy; we are ordinary people for most of our lives. But if it’s time for us to step up, we will stand where we should.”

“I know that on the Corpse Planet, without external protection, we will be accelerated to the speed of light, and the human body will disintegrate and collapse in such an environment. But I don’t care at all. This has nothing to do with human rights and freedom, but only with the choices I make under the drive of my personal beliefs.”

“You, leader Damon, don’t understand any of this. Just now, you said that as long as there are mountains to live, there is no need to worry about firewood. But in the logic of me and my elders, there are two types of mountains. One is to consider oneself as the mountain, and the other is to regard the entire civilization and the whole collective as the mountain. If my sacrifice could bring a higher return, making the mountain greener and the trees more lush, I would not hesitate to choose self-sacrifice.”

“Leader Damon, you have only read the sayings of the sages, but the sages are just a part of the Chinese people, a representative. You didn’t understand the inheritance of the Chinese people for thousands of years from him alone.”

“Leader, you can look again, how many people are left besides me? Quite a few, right?”

Lila Brown asked in the end.

Damon scanned the list again.

Indeed, as Lila Brown said, there were as many as six hundred people in his team of more than three thousand who still hadn’t come out, and some of these people didn’t even respond to his summons.

“Leader Damon, look at the other teams, and look at the previously declared list of people who stayed behind; what is the proportion of Chinese people?”

Damon pulled up the entire institute’s list of employees and then swallowed hard, saying slowly: “More than 80 percent.”
