Euthanasia

Jon's ability to act is fully reflected in his treatment of Liu Zhiwei.

After he finished writing the film review, when the films he reviewed were ordered again, a line of small words appeared on the page: "This film contains some cultural fictions and limitations, please choose carefully to watch."

As soon as this line of fine print came out, people discovered it immediately, and the fans who originally supported these films and the film team expressed their dissatisfaction immediately.Although this is only the practice of the Hurricane platform, the Hurricane platform currently has the system with the largest number of users. Once its method is fully applied, most of the users in the world have received the same prompt.

Many filmmakers began to comment on this matter on different social media. No matter good or bad, Jon ignored it until Mona, who was so busy with this matter, called him countless times but failed. Called Liu Zhiwei's cell phone.

It is a pity that Liu Zhiwei did not receive this call.The one who received the call was Shanna, whose stomach was already like a small watermelon.

"Who's there?" Shanna lay on the deck chair on the balcony and listened for a while, then said to the big men in the living room and kitchen, "Hey, Jon, your mom!"

"What? She can't know your phone number."

Jon stepped forward with a hand full of flour in doubt, and answered the phone: "Mom—oh, Mona..." Jon glared at Shanna.

Shanna pursed her lips and smiled as she put on her sunglasses.Liu Zhiwei and Jon came to celebrate Shanna's birthday this weekend. They cooked a table of dishes like the Chinese here, and planned to cook a bowl of longevity noodles for Shanna.The only birthday star, Shanna, was lazily lying on the balcony basking in the sun, as if she was not staying on the balcony but on the beach in California.

"No, I won't change it," Jon said firmly. "This reminder is very pertinent. We have always marked some works that may have religious prejudice and pornographic violence. Everyone agrees with this. But why is it our turn to cultural discrimination and we do nothing? If someone is offended then it is discrimination. It's not just one person offended - see the responses online? How many have you counted Does the Chinese think this is very wrong? Not only the Chinese, I think people from Japan, Korea, Singapore...these countries will feel awkward. More small countries they can't even raise their voices to protest because as some people say , these misunderstandings can bring them popularity. But this is not true, do you understand..."

Jon walked around the room, and after a while he simply hung up the phone.

Liu Zhiwei popped his head out of the kitchen and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing." Jon quickly smiled at him.Liu Zhiwei then said: "The chicken soup is almost ready, you can prepare your belly."

"I can't wait!" Jon saw Liu Zhiwei shrinking his head back again.He came to Shanna on the balcony, met her gaze and said, "Mona is just too rigid and stubborn sometimes."

Shanna laughed: "I heard that you have done another big thing."

"It's just correcting some misconceptions," Jon said, "but people always don't understand why we do this, just like people don't understand why we have grades in the first place."

"You know," Shanna adjusted her sitting position to make her stomach more comfortable, and Simon also changed positions aside, placing his head next to Shanna's hand, "if you do There is only one beneficiary, and the majority will be dissatisfied."

Jon wrinkled his nose: "Sometimes it's always the minorities who are treated unfairly."

"When you harm the interests of the majority because of the minority, you will be opposed, even from the minority," Shanna said, taking a sip of the coffee she put aside, "so instead, you do things for the majority When you do, they'll thank you."

"You're useless—" Jon suddenly got stuck there, and he said slowly, "—you're right."

Jon seemed to be enlightened, and suddenly started pressing his phone frantically.Immediately, there was a sound in several work groups, and Lu Yi in the kitchen also received a reminder.

Liu Zhiwei looked at Lu Yi: "Is it work?"

"That's right." Lu Yi said and walked out of the kitchen.Liu Zhiwei thought for a while while chopping vegetables, and suddenly thought, isn't Lu Yi's job the same as Jon's job?

Liu Zhiwei quietly took out his mobile phone, cut out and searched Jon's personal account and other social media accounts, but found nothing abnormal, until he suddenly remembered the turmoil during this period and turned on Hurricane's streaming media platform.

The reminders that had been placed in front of the films were gone, replaced by other films related to the cultures involved in those films, and most of those related films were documentaries of their own nation.

Related films have a unified title, that is: "more correct culture."

The amount of work is not small, but Liu Zhiwei saw three or four related videos appear on the top of the movie he clicked on in just a few seconds. He put down his phone and went to the living room, only to see Jon quickly put away the movie. Phone: "What do you need, sweetheart?"

"I need you not to avoid calling me." Liu Zhiwei said, "I know what you're doing, you're doing something good, there's no need to hide it."

Jon took out his phone awkwardly.

"When you finish typing, you can come in and help me serve the dishes. Lu Yi's cooking skills are excellent. We are here today at the right time." Liu Zhiwei turned his head and walked into the kitchen again.

When Shanna's longevity noodles were brought out, Jon finally ended his call reluctantly.To avoid further harassment, he put his phone on silent.Liu Zhiwei put the longevity noodles on the table, while Lu Yi came to the table with Shanna in his arms.

Shanna giggled, followed by her big dog.

All four of them sat at the edge of the table, which was full of dishes, as well as red wine and candles.

"This is my least attended birthday," Shanna said, raising her eyebrows.

"Not at all, we have six members." Lu Yi kissed Shanna, pointing to Simon and her belly.

Shanna was amused. She held the bowl of Changshou noodles and turned the noodles inside with chopsticks.

"Hey, watch out!" Jon yelled, "Zeo worked so hard to keep this noodle! You gotta find a head!"

Shanna twitched the corners of her lips, but found the head obediently.

"You have to eat this way... yes, that's it, is it fun?" Jon was very excited, wishing that he was the one who would eat this bowl of noodles.

Shanna didn't last long before cutting off the noodles and putting down the chopsticks. "Alright, alright, wine time!" Shanna opened the wine bottle impatiently, "One person shares one thing, that's the rule." She said and poured wine for everyone.

"I'll come first," Jon said, "Thanks to Miss Shanna, I just successfully established a new related film mechanism, and I heard that many protesting fans have now turned to support me—just a few minutes time!"

"Then I also have good news," Liu Zhiwei said with a smile, "Our anti-war film has been submitted for review, and I heard that the response is very good. Feng Yi said that we will receive an invitation letter this week."

"What?! This is great!" Jon exclaimed immediately, "This is my first time on camera!"

"Oh, you will have more opportunities." Liu Zhiwei touched the back of his hand.

Shanna rested her chin and said, "Then I will also share a new news. I don't know if it is good or not."

Several people looked at her, including Simon.

"I seem to be famous for something—" Shanna shrugged, "a lot of Chinese people found me and wanted me to be their personal psychiatrist, so I had to open a private counseling center here. Thank God I'm okay The easy-to-learn Chinese comes in handy here.”

Several people looked at each other.

"So will you always work in China in the future?" Liu Zhiwei asked.

"Maybe." Shanna blinked, "At least I haven't found anything bad yet. The bar here is open 24 hours, and we can hang out on the main road until three o'clock in the morning, and there are still people around! People here are paying more and more attention to culture and art, and there are convenient shared devices everywhere...I wish I could find a more comfortable place than here.”

"Lu Yi, are you going to stay here too?" Jon immediately turned to look at Lu Yi.

"Hey, you have opened a branch here," Lu Yi said, staring at Jon, "I'd be happy to take care of China's affairs for you."

"No!" Jon immediately yelled, "This is not acceptable, so I have no reason to stay here for a long time! Mona will kidnap me in the United States!"

"This is about you and Mona, it has nothing to do with me." Lu Yi spread his hands.

After they quarreled for a while, Liu Zhiwei finally persuaded them to leave: "Hey, Lu Yi, it's your turn, you should share something."

"The thing he should share is to return to the United States—" Jon's mouth was blocked by Liu Zhiwei's chicken leg.Both Liu Zhiwei and Shanna looked at Lu Yi, only to see him take out a large gift box from the side.So big that he had to sit on the coffee table next to Shanna.

"For you," Lu Yi put Shanna's hand on the gift box, "birthday gift."

"What is it?" Shanna pursed her lips and laughed.

"Take it apart and have a look." Lu Yi said.

Shanna glanced at him with a smile, and opened the gift box.At the same time she unwrapped it, the white fabric bulged out of it—it was a wedding dress.

Shanna froze there.

"You haven't finished unpacking it yet." Lu Yi pointed to another smaller gift box placed in the center of the wedding dress.

Shanna opened the smaller gift box again, which contained a pair of beautiful bright high-heeled shoes.Next to the high heels, there was another, smaller gift box.

This time, Shanna took it apart without waiting for Lu Yi to tell her.Inside lay a delicate crown studded with diamonds.

"You told me when you were in college that you envied the princesses in those Disney stories, but what you envy most is that they have a crown." Lu Yi smiled and said leaning on the table.

Jon and Liu Zhiwei on the side were both staring and speechless.

On the side of the crown is a small box that can be opened with a palm, and the packaging is more delicate.Almost everyone guessed what it was.

Shanna moved very slowly as she took it apart, very unlike her.She unpacked it, revealing the velvet box inside.

Lu Yi took the box over and opened it, revealing a dazzling silver ring inside.He knelt down on one knee in front of Shanna, held up the ring and said: "I have always admired that kind of independent and strong woman. She has a successful career, is beautiful and elegant, has one or two lovers who are in tune with her, has three Four friends who accompany her in life, and a group of partners who support her in her career.

"She has the ability and power to choose whether to love and family, and also has the freedom to control her own life. She will not be bound in one place, but will always choose the path she wants to choose.

"And you are such a charming woman who makes me swoon. I wish I had the honor in my life to make you willing to abandon all your lovers, some of your private time, and a small part of your career. Opportunity cost, accepting the amount of trouble that could arise — into my life, into our marriage."

Jon's eyeballs almost fell off, he didn't hold back, and opened his mouth wide: "Holyshit!"

"Sanna, will you marry me?" With a handsome smile and a trace of uneasiness that cannot be concealed, Lu Yi looked at his lover expectantly like all young people proposing for the first time.

Shanna stared at Lu Yi for a long time, and said firmly: "You know I can't refuse Pronovias' wedding dress, Prada's shoes and Bvlgari's jewelry."

Lu Yi's hands trembled, he took out the ring in the velvet box, rolled his Adam's apple and said, "Can I put it on for you?"

The corner of Shanna's mouth was raised high. She stretched out her hand and put it in Lu Yi's palm: "You know that you are the last person I can refuse."

The moment the ring was put on Shanna's ring finger, Lu Yi almost jumped up and hugged Shanna into the air.Shanna's laughter echoed throughout the room, accompanied by the barking of the big dog.

"This is my best birthday present," Shanna held Lu Yi's head and kissed him on the lips. "I can show it off for decades—until I'm too old to walk."
