The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

What impressed Xia Haoyang and Zeng Jingyi the most during their first trip to the United States was the cultural diversity.

The United States is a country of immigrants. While attracting a large number of elites from all over the world, it also brings a fusion of culture, art and food from all over the world. The multicultural United States has a rich variety of cultural activities and art performances. The unrestrained African culture, the implicit beauty of Asian culture, the Latin American magical realism and Latin decadent art, and the inclusiveness of Western European realistic culture allow you to experience different cultural atmospheres and art forms.

Even just the experience of going to an NBA stadium to watch a basketball game was an excitement that Zeng Jingyi had never imagined.

In fact, Zeng Jingyi also went to the Workers' Stadium in Yancheng to watch the Guoan team's game, but the distance between the audience seats of the Workers' Stadium and the stadium is actually very far, at least eight runways apart. There is also a circle of armed police stationed around the runways. Watching the game on site may not be as clear as watching it on the big screen. Moreover, China's sports culture and stadium culture have only become popular in recent years. The stadium culture and atmosphere that can be experienced currently are not very professional.

It’s different at the NBA scene. This is the most commercial event in the world. You can have the most intuitive experience and enjoyment when watching the game live, especially when you have enough money to buy a row of plastic benches next to the court.

The intense competition that is so close at hand and so immersive, the sweet and passionate dance performances of the cheerleaders, the rich and varied warm-up activities during the halftime break, the singing and cheering of the fans, the mascots constantly stimulating the atmosphere throughout the game, and even the various fast food delicacies, these are things you cannot experience in stadiums in China.

"It's too dangerous to watch the game sitting in the first row. Just now, the player number 23 in yellow almost hit me when he flew to catch the ball, and his speed was so fast that I had no time to react. Looking at these foreigners up close, they are really tall and strong, like a tank, and they have a strong smell of body odor." Zeng Jingyi was still a little scared after leaving the stadium.

"This game is historic. James and his son appeared on the court at the same time. I didn't expect that we could witness it with our own eyes. I have no regrets in this life." Old Xie said with emotion.

"Father and son? Are there father and son playing on the court at the same time?" Zeng Jingyi asked curiously.

"It's the guy in yellow clothes No. 9 who almost hit you when he flew to catch the ball. The No. Bronny on the team is his son." Xia Haoyang explained.

"They look a bit similar. They both have big beards, protruding lips, and are very strong, but his son has an afro," Zeng Jingyi recalled.

"It's already early morning. Let's just go back to the hotel and rest for tonight. What are your plans for tomorrow?" Xia Haoyang asked.

"When we come to Los Angeles, we definitely can't miss the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Besides, we are in the entertainment industry."

"Okay, I'm going to the Avenue of Stars. I heard that several of our Chinese artists have left stars there, right? I want to take pictures." Zeng Jingyi said happily.

"Then do you know who they are?" Hong Ling asked with a smile.

"Bruce Lee must be there, and Jackie Chan too, I don't know about the others." Zeng Jingyi said a little embarrassedly.

"There are six Chinese people who have stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They are Anna May Wong, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Leslie Cheung, Coco Lee, and John Woo," Hong Ling explained.

"Who is Anna May Wong? I've never heard of her." Xia Haoyang didn't know her.

"Annie Wong was the first American-Chinese Hollywood movie star. She was born in Los Angeles in the early 1960th century and her ancestral home was in eastern Guangdong. In 1934, she became the first Chinese to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In addition, she was also engraved on the "Hollywood Silver Cast Four Ladies' Observatory" with Dolores Del Rio, Dorothy Dandridge, Mae West and Marilyn Monroe. In the s, she returned to China to embark on a nine-month journey to trace her roots and filmed a documentary. She also vigorously promoted and popularized the beauty of Chinese cheongsam in the United States, and was selected as the "Best Dressed Woman in the World" by the Mayfair Fashion Model Association in New York in ."

"Wow, Hong Ling is awesome, she's comparable to Baidu Encyclopedia." Xia Haoyang exclaimed.

"After all, I have lived in the United States for a few years. In fact, racial discrimination is very serious here, and there are also serious stereotypes against us Chinese. There are not many Chinese who can achieve success and are liked by Americans. Anna May Wong is one of them, so I deliberately learned about her experience. But what I want to say is that you don't need to understand her, otherwise, haha."

"What else can happen?" Xia Haoyang and Zeng Jingyi became interested when they heard Hong Ling's hesitation.

"She was a porn star in the silent film era, and the images of Chinese people in most of the films she starred in would disgust you. That's all I have to say." Hong Ling smiled.

"You mean that the images of Chinese people in those old American movies are mostly bad and negative images."

"Almost. Whether on the Hollywood screen or in real American society, it is common for Chinese people to be discriminated against, except for the rich, of course." Hong Ling still had that lazy smile on her face.

"Let's not talk about that. Anyway, we should go to the Avenue of Stars tomorrow. Since we are here, let's go for a walk and then go to Hongling's friend's house for dinner in the evening." Old Xie tried to smooth things over.

"Dinner tomorrow night? Didn't they say the wedding will be the day after tomorrow?" Zeng Jingyi was curious.

"It's true that the wedding banquet will be the day after tomorrow, but tomorrow night is the bachelorette party organized by my best friend. Do you want to go and see it?" Hong Ling glanced at Xia Haoyang and Zeng Jingyi.

"Yes." Xia Haoyang replied quickly.

"If you want, get up early tomorrow and have a good rest tonight." Hong Ling winked at the two of them.

When the two entered their room and closed the door, they were still standing at the doorway. Zeng Jingyi immediately changed her expression, shrugged her nose, grinned and said to Xia Haoyang: "Do you really want to see a bachelor party?" As she said that, she pinched Xia Haoyang's waist with her hand.

Seeing this, Xia Haoyang quickly stopped and waved his hands to indicate, "No, I don't want to do it anymore."

Zeng Jingyi had planned to take advantage of the situation to pinch Xia Haoyang's flesh a few more times, but suddenly she felt nauseous and felt a little uncomfortable.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Xia Haoyang hurried to Zeng Jingyi and reached out to pat Zeng Jingyi on the back.

"It's okay. Maybe I ate too much for dinner and I feel a little nauseous. I'm going to the bathroom to rinse my mouth."

"Okay, call me if you need anything." Xia Haoyang was a little worried.

When Zeng Jingyi washed up in the bathroom and returned to the bedroom, Xia Haoyang said, "You probably have a cold. You seem very tired and a little sleepy these few days in the United States, but your appetite is good, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Do you have cold medicine with you? Why not take two pills?"

"I didn't bring any cold medicine because it's inconvenient to go through security. I'll just drink some hot water. Don't worry. I just ate too much at night. I don't have a cold."
