Chapter 71 Norway slams its doors

one For Chinese cultural circles, knowing Norway is firstly because of Ibsen. The Nora in "A Doll's House" ran away from home because she couldn't bear the power of her husband, and Ibsen ended the whole play with her slamming the door.It was that voice, they say, that closed the nineteenth century. This sound also shook China back then.Lu Xun said, where will Nora go after she leaves?One is to fall, the other is to come back, and the third is to starve to death, neither is good. After all, Lu Xun is Lu Xun. He actually pointed out early on that the way out for the Noras lies in the acquisition of economic rights, so they must reform the economic system with tenacious struggle.

I don't know much about the history of social reform in Norway in the 20th century, but this investigation surprised me to find that Nora's descendants have completely turned around, and Norway has almost become a feminist country.A hundred years in a hurry, it can be said that the world has been turned upside down. If Ibsen and Lu Xun were reborn, they would be dumbfounded. You see, the top leaders of several important organizations that received us this time are all women. They stood up and delivered eloquent and personable speeches.From their confident eyebrows and eyes, we can infer that in their own small family, they must also be commanding and manipulative.

Going to the street to see, there are so many Norwegian girls smoking while walking, with a chic posture, as if there is no one else around. Seeing a social survey made me laugh out loud.In terms of cultural consumption, Norwegian women like to go to bookstores and libraries, and Norwegian men like to go to cinemas.Outsiders joked that they only dared to hide in the dark to pass the time. Another survey seems to back up this interesting claim, with men repeatedly saying: Choose your girlfriend and wife over beauty, just virtuousness. In this way, the slamming sound of the door when Nora left really cut off an era.

two The economic rights mentioned by Lu Xun are not only what women need to fight for in the small family, but also what Norway needs to fight for in the big family of the world. In this sense, Norway is Nora magnified. Historically, Norway's economy has been bad for a long time.Since the end of the pirate era and the disintegration of the North Sea Empire, Norway has completely returned to its own smallness and barrenness.In the 14th century, the plague came from England and killed more than half of it, like a total revenge for bullying England in the pirate era.In the future, we will be subject to Denmark for a while, and Sweden for a while. How can we have a good life?Fortunately, the North Sea oil field was discovered decades ago, and he became rich instantly.

I once laughed at the fact that Switzerland is the richest country in the world, but its per capita foreign aid ranks last in Europe.So, who is the most foreign aid per capita in Europe?It's Norway.Norway has only been out of poverty for decades, and still retains deep sympathy for the poor in other countries.In the past two days on the pedestrian area in Oslo, I often saw well-dressed female students reaching out to passers-by for money in the cold wind. They stopped in surprise and asked. It turned out that they were collecting donations for the poor around the world. Norway, which works hard to help the poor in other countries, has a very small gap between the rich and the poor, which is really desirable.But a survey shows that it is this little gap between rich and poor that directly controls the health of Norwegians.Those who are a little richer have good health, and vice versa, and the degree of dependence between the two ranks first in Europe.This obviously has nothing to do with medical treatment and nutrition, but depends on a collective psychological tendency.The time to get rid of poverty and become rich is too short, and everything is too sensitive, just like a group of students with poor grades suddenly become top students, and the difference of one point between them will be painful and itchy.

It's a mental illness caused by get-rich-quick, but fortunately this is a good people and sooner or later it will get stronger.Kindness ultimately creates health. three Getting rich depends on oil, but oil is not easy to regenerate, and there is a premonition that it will be exhausted.So Norway made a wise decision to give seafood the lead in exports. The Norwegian Fisheries Association invited us to eat seafood in a mountainous area called Holmen Kolen north of Oslo.The fire in the wooden house was blazing, and the cold rain outside the long window was like a curtain.The owner sighed: We in Norway, whether it is oil or aquatic products, all rely on the blessings of nature.We have to be nicer to nature.

For this simple statement, everyone raised their glasses. I suddenly remembered an article written by Mr. Sun Yexiao, a Chinese diplomat in Norway, that I read last night.It mentioned that two Norwegians drove an electric sled up the mountain to play. When they saw a few polar bears, they chased them for a while to amuse them. Both will go to jail.The local Chinese were baffled by this verdict. They felt that there were many criminal cases in Norway, and the judicial authorities often handed them down lightly on human rights grounds.Mr. Sun is right, this is the difference between the two cultural concepts.

Norway has always been dependent on nature and sympathetic to the weak, so we should understand this verdict.There are less than 50 polar bears in Norway. They don't know how to sue and don't understand the law, so they naturally enter the final protection line of the law. Being friendly to nature, the Norwegians are still the heroes of the North Sea. In their eyes, to this day, the women's and men's rights that Noras have been troubled with are no longer important, and the issue of economic rights can also be temporarily put aside. The nature of survival for thousands of years has made them realize that there is another kind of power that needs to be grasped urgently, that is, the right to control. natural guardianship.

There was another slam of the door, this time the prison door.That voice last time expressed Nora's determination; today's voice expresses Norway's determination.
