Chapter 283 A Trip to Asia (VIII)
"Damn it, this bastard, being with you is an insult to my image. I have no brains at all, and I can ask such an idiot question." Looking at Owen who was sitting beside him, George's face darkened suddenly, and he was thinking hard, planning to teach Owen a lesson after returning.

Why, no reason, just because Liverpool is now at the last stop of the Asian tour, which is the BJ station in China. At this time, George and Owen are being interviewed by CCTV, and the host is Huang Jianxiang.

The reason why George complained about Owen in this way was entirely because of Owen's words.When you come to the interview, you just accept the interview honestly. Why did you just meet Huang Jianxiang, the first sentence was not to say hello, but to ask: Do you have a hero named Wang Erxiao in China?

George knew that the three words Wang Erxiao had been bothering Owen in recent days. Owen had always suspected that the name was not a hero but Judas, and kept asking himself who Wang Erxiao was.Every time George tells Owen, I'm not lying to you. Wang Erxiao was indeed a famous hero in China during World War II.But Owen didn’t believe it every time, and it’s fine if he didn’t believe it. He obviously didn’t believe it, but every time Owen still had nothing to do, he continued to ask George what kind of person this Wang Erxiao was.

When a person is completely absorbed in one thing, starts to be obsessed with one thing, and doesn't care about other things, then this person is undoubtedly the most terrifying existence. No, George just sat down, and was almost made to jump by Owen's first sentence.

Not to mention George, even the host Huang Jianxiang was stunned after hearing Owen's words. How could Huang Jianxiang compare it to that the dignified Liverpool golden boy and the world-famous star Owen, when he was interviewed by himself, the first sentence was to ask himself this question.

Although very depressed, Huang Jianxiang decided to answer Owen's question first when he looked at Irving's expectant eyes. After all, he is a world star, is he a guest?

"Of course, Wang Erxiao is a hero of our Chinese nation. Although he is not very old, he is definitely a great hero that all Chinese people know."

"Hehe, thank you, I finally got a satisfactory answer." Hearing Huang Jianxiang's answer, Owen finally smiled on his face that had been gloomy for the past few days.

"Michael, if you don't mind me asking, why do you ask this Wang Erxiao?" Seeing that Owen became very happy after getting his answer, Huang Jianxiang became depressed, and as soon as his curiosity arose, he couldn't help asking.

"Hehe, it's nothing. After all, this time Liverpool is holding an Asian tour. China is a beautiful country. When I was still in the UK, I was thinking, since I will come to China, I must give myself a Chinese name. Thinking of this, I asked George, who knows China best in our Liverpool team. After thinking for a few days, George finally gave me the name of Wang Erxiao. But I don't know what kind of person this Wang Erxiao is, so I couldn't help asking."

Knowing that Wang Erxiao was really a hero in China during World War II, Owen was in a good mood at this time, and he had nothing to say. He even forgot that he was a bird but not a bird for George these days, but now he praised George in a different direction.

Damn, hypocrisy, I didn't tell you that when you come to China and choose a Chinese name, it will be more beneficial to shorten the distance between yourself and Chinese fans. Would you agree with me?I have been thinking about it for a few days, I was annoyed by you, so I randomly picked one for you, and I really haven’t thought about it for three seconds.

Seeing Owen's smug smile, George couldn't help but look at Owen with contempt, thinking to himself.Of course, George will not speak out his inner thoughts. If he really speaks out, the devil knows whether Owen will jump up and have a fight with himself.

"Oh!" After hearing Owen's answer, Huang Jianxiang couldn't help becoming curious. He looked at George who was sitting next to Owen with a smile on his face, and couldn't help taking a few careful glances.

"George, according to Owen, you know China very well?"

Nonsense, can you not understand, anyway, I was an out-and-out Chinese with good roots. I have lived for more than 20 years. If I don’t know what my country is like and what kind of history it has, I might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill myself.

Hearing Huang Jianxiang's words, George couldn't help thinking, but he didn't realize that he had lived in the UK for more than ten years, nearly 20 years. It seemed that he really didn't know much about British history and culture.

"Hehe, of course, China is a beautiful and mysterious country. Originally, my understanding of China was the same as that of most British people. I only knew that China had a large population, famous martial arts, Bruce Lee, Mao Zedong, and the Great Wall. But I thought, China is also an ancient country with a long history, and there must be many histories and things that I don't know. In this way, I couldn't control my curiosity anymore. In my spare time, I started to learn Chinese and understand Chinese history and culture."

After thinking about it carefully, so as not to make people suspicious, George answered Huang Jianxiang's question in a very Western way, especially highlighting that at the beginning, he only knew that China had a large population, martial arts were famous, celebrities knew about Bruce Lee and ***, and architecture knew about the Great Wall.Such a Western answer is simply a perfect answer. After all, as long as you are a Westerner, you don’t really understand the history of China. The general understanding of China is like what George just said.

"Hehe, is that so?" Hearing George's answer, Huang Jianxiang couldn't help laughing, and his favorability for George began to increase sharply.The reason is very simple. If you look at a world-famous football superstar or NBA basketball superstar and suddenly say that you like Chinese culture very much, and pop out a sentence or two in Chinese from time to time, it will definitely greatly increase the Chinese people's favorability towards him.

"Then can you speak Chinese to all our audience friends in front of the TV?" Knowing that George has learned Chinese, Huang Jianxiang naturally started to propose.

Taking a deep breath, George sat upright on the sofa, facing the camera, and said with excitement: "Hello, everyone, I'm George. I'm very happy to be able to come to China with the team this time. I like China, and I like you. I hope you can support me and Liverpool as much as possible in the future."

When George spoke, he immediately felt an indescribable excitement and relaxation all over his body. It was the first time that he spoke a complete sentence in Chinese in almost 20 years.

Perhaps because he has lived in the UK for more than ten years and has never spoken Chinese, or because he was excited, when George spoke Chinese, his tone suddenly became not very authentic Chinese, and he was a little unclear in his articulation.But in this way, Huang Jianxiang immediately felt that George's Chinese was very good, but it was still not authentic. It seemed that George really wanted to practice good spoken Chinese, and he needed to live in China for a few years.

Even so, Huang Jianxiang also seemed very excited. This is not something that ordinary people can do. Judging from the Chinese that George just spoke, it can be seen that George really worked hard on Chinese and didn't have a certain amount of time to learn it. He can't speak Chinese to that level at all.

Huang Jianxiang was excited when he thought that a world-class football star famous in Europe had a special love for China.

"Hehe, George, your Chinese is really good. How long have you been studying it?"

"Actually, it didn't take long. After all, I spend more time on competitions and training. Most of them rely on self-study. Sometimes I take a Chinese class. I have learned Chinese for more than a year."

Huang Jianxiang nodded, and looked at George with admiration. In one year, he still relied on his own spare time to learn Chinese, and he was able to speak Chinese almost as well as Chinese people. There is no obvious difference.At this time, apart from admiring George's language talent, Huang Jianxiang could not use other reasons to explain why George could speak Chinese so well.

If Huang Jianxiang knew that George was a Chinese in his previous life, but he was reincarnated as an Englishman, Huang Jianxiang might think that George was lying or that he was a lunatic.

"Hehe, since you like Chinese so much, did you give yourself a Chinese name?"

"Of course I have. Don't forget, even Michael's name was thought up for him by me. Of course I have a Chinese name. My Chinese name is Zhang Jun!"

"Zhang Jun, do you have such a Chinese name for yourself, what's the meaning?" Huang Jianxiang asked curiously. After all, Owen's Wang Erxiao was thought of by George. In Huang Jianxiang's thinking, Westerners are the kind of people who worship heroes, so when Michael Owen knew that Wang Erxiao was a Chinese hero, he named himself such a name, so George should be the same.

However, Huang Jianxiang recalled it carefully. The name Zhang Jun is very common in China, and there is no name called Zhang Jun in history. Thinking of this, Huang Jianxiang couldn't help asking, wondering why George would give himself such a name.

For Huang Jianxiang to ask him why he chose the name Zhang Jun, George was already prepared. Naturally, he would not tell Huang Jianxiang that he was Chinese in his previous life, and his name was originally Zhang Jun, so when he came here, George had already prepared a set of reasons to explain his name.

"Hehe, it's like this. I like Jet Li's movies very much recently. In one of them, Jet Li played Zhang Sanfeng. I think this character is very arrogant and powerful, so I made one for myself. According to the meaning of your Chinese name, that is the surname, which is this Zhang. As for why I am named Jun, it is because I personally like soldiers very much, that's all."

When George came back, Huang Jianxiang looked at George with admiration. He even knew that Chinese people have surnames and first names. It seems that it is true that George said that he really likes Chinese history and culture.
