During the program, the on-site reporter continued the interview...

"The person I am interviewing now is Professor Andrew from the UK."

"Hello, Professor Andrew. Do you know that there is a double standard in the field of history?"

"Isn't this impossible? Haha."

"A Chinese historian accused Western historians of practicing double standards and discriminating against Chinese civilization. What do you think?"

"Uh... I'm sorry, I don't know about this." Professor Andrew's face slowly turned ugly. He already knew that this reporter was here to make trouble.

"Then do you know how long the Chinese civilization is?"

"I can't remember clearly." (chuckle)

"This is the history textbook you wrote. Isn't the part about world history about China written very clearly in it?"

"Hmm...I don't know!" (Amid laughter, Professor Andrew ran away)

Next, there was Professor Nowin from the United States.

"Hello, Professor Novin. There is a Chinese historian..."

In the camera, Professor Nouwen's face turned livid, he was uncertain for a while, and then he retorted directly: "Chinese historian? Who is he? I have never heard of him!"

"But……"

Professor Novin interrupted categorically: "No! Don't waste my time. I have no obligation to answer such a ridiculous and shameless question." (Professor Novin walked away. Laughter)

Amidst the laughter, the host Laino said: "Did you see it? Now even I am a little confused. The Italian: This is a misunderstanding, it is a misunderstanding, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, misunderstanding..." (Laughter)

"British people: I don't know, I don't know, I can't remember... The British always have this kind of virtue. They are particularly hypocritical. What they are best at is pretending to be deaf and dumb."

(There was warm applause and whistles. Ridiculing the British, this is American political correctness)

Lenno slapped the table hard: "So we have to look at us Americans! We are so straightforward! You, a nobody, have no right to criticize us? Get out of here! I despise you with all my heart!"

(The whole audience burst into laughter)

"Gentlemen and ladies, I'm not afraid of saying the wrong thing. I'm not afraid of my cousin's high-level officials deducting my money. Although I don't know much about history, I absolutely support Professor Nouwen! You damn Chinese old man with no reputation.

Little guy, you still want to criticize our American history professor? Send a Texas old man and arrange a cowboy duel with him!"

(Loud laughter)

However, at this moment, the screen suddenly switched and a news program began to be inserted: "...The book "The Vast Ocean Is a Casino" is currently selling like hotcakes. According to incomplete statistics, this best-selling book has already been published in China and Hong Kong.

It has topped the best-seller list, and the book has also entered the forefront of the best-seller list. Sales have exceeded millions of copies! The author, Angry Brother Yuan, has become the most popular author of historical works in the Far East..."

(laughing)

Laino looked embarrassed: "This... this must be an illusion!"

(Amidst the laughter, there were boos and whistles...)

"Please continue to enjoy The Tonight Show when commercial breaks return."

(Warm applause continues)

…

After this program was aired, it predictably received high ratings. It also contributed a lot of jokes to American society.

In fact, in the show, the host Laino was humorous but not harsh, and did not make any judgments. After all, that is not what "The Tonight Show" focuses on. It is a talk show.

The same is true for the vast majority of the audience, who just want to have fun.

Among all humorous elements, it is definitely a big laugh when an authority figure destroys his image in front of the audience. So those history professors embarrassed themselves in public, which made the audience overjoyed. But after laughing, it was just like that. It didn't happen at all.

People will take it seriously!

As for the truth of the incident? To be honest, few people really care. After all, history is too far away from ordinary people's lives, and ordinary people are almost out of reach.

However, when the program became a success, it was as if a basin of ice water had been poured into hot oil, and the entire European and American historical circles immediately became upset.

One thing is objective and impartial, and that is the talisman of history. If it leads to public doubts, it will be a devastating blow to the entire field of history.

A relatively unpopular subject like history doesn't usually have much funding for scientific research. Occasionally, a few sponsors will appear, but sponsors also need you to be objective and impartial, right?

To put it bluntly, even if your sponsor wants you to falsify historical data, you must at least find "objective and impartial" historians. Otherwise, how can those fake histories be believed by the public?

For example, in the folk history created by Bangzi later, was Confucius a Korean?

It should be admitted that the real historical experts in Bangzi are relatively rigorous in their scholarship and generally will never make irresponsible remarks. But they can't stand up to those pig members of the Civil Science Department?

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Changing Source App! It is so easy to use, I rely on it to pass the time by reading and listening to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here.hununpp]

Later, as long as there was historical research on Bangzi, no matter whether it was true or false, the outside world was full of doubts, leaving Bangzi alone to enjoy himself in China?

This is actually a devastating blow. History in Bangzi has been almost completely abolished. Without credibility, any research results will be in vain? It will even spread to other disciplines, no matter what scientific research.

As a result, any good scientist should be skeptical first?

Just like the ridicule of "the great power of the universe". Behind this, not to mention the loss of face, how much loss of economic benefits alone are there?

But having said that, as long as the nation of the universe is happy!

Therefore, the popularity of "The Tonight Show" immediately affected the reputation of the entire European and American history community.

Of course, "The Tonight Show" will never pay attention to any accidental injuries. To say the least, you fat nerds who study history are not even qualified to be our show guests, so just provide jokes honestly!

Under such circumstances, the European and American historians seemed to be on a hot pot, and they immediately launched self-rescue operations.

Led by the American Historical Association, Professor Novin and other association directors came forward, and finally invited various media and held a grand press conference:

"...We strongly condemn the bad behavior of some people. In our historical research, we have always abided by..."

"...We have sent a letter of protest to our Chinese colleagues, hoping that they can stop this shameless rumor and slander..."

"...We do not rule out using legal means to maintain our reputation..."

"... Regarding some academic disagreements in historical research, they are matters of detail. We still hope to discuss and resolve them through professional academic conferences. We do not want to become some kind of hype tool..."

"...Double standards in academic research have never existed or happened. And we firmly oppose this practice..."

"..."

At the end of the press conference, facing the media reporters, Professor Noven said sincerely: "... Regarding the Chinese scholar, we still hope to deepen exchanges and eliminate misunderstandings. We can send an invitation, myself, and everyone present.

All the professors can vouch for it and hope that he can become a visiting scholar at an American university..."

"..."

Hearing such words, the reporters below were all dumbfounded. Is this using the toughest tone and saying the most cowardly words? Are you who study history so shameless? Where is our American cowboy spirit?

What we love to watch most is you fighting! Fighting! Fighting!
