China News Service, July 15th, according to a report in the Central and Eastern European version of the "European Times", I recalled my experience in middle school in the famous private aristocratic school Theresianum in Austria. The candidate for the New Austrian Party Parliament in Vienna, the Austrian pharmacist, "Hua Er "Generation" Hu Liang told the "European Times" reporter that discrimination is omnipresent, even if it is just because you are different from them, they can be the reason for them to discriminate against you.
"But discrimination is a kind of motivation for me," Hu Liang admitted that after the initial sadness and sadness, she gradually realized that this was not her fault, but the other party's problem, so she no longer entangled in it, but instead Fight more actively and live as you want them to be.
When Hu Liang was born in 1985, his father left home to work in Austria, and her mother left China to Austria when she was one year old. After living in China for four and a half years, Hu Liang and grandparents were taken to Austria by their parents.
On the second day of landing in Austria, Xiao Hu Liang was sent to the kindergarten by his parents before he got used to it.
"In the country, I go to the squat toilet. This is the toilet. I don’t know how to get there. I can only urinate my pants. The lunch in the kindergarten is Cevapcici. I won’t use the knife and fork, I can only be hungry..." The Austrian kindergarten where Liang is located has only one foreign child, and the teacher does not know how to communicate with her. The Chinese girl who does not speak German has just arrived because she has been aggrieved because of differences in various cultures and living habits.
Fortunately, the parents introduced a friend to Xiao Hu Liang at this time. So far, Hu Liang and his family still affectionately call the Austrian old man Opa (grandpa).
When Hu Liang had just arrived in Austria, her parents were at the start of their business, they were busy with their work, and their days were not easy. The mother gave Xiao Hu, who knew nothing, to Opa. From how to use a knife and fork to German, Xiao Huliang worked hard to learn from Opa and wanted to adapt and integrate into Austrian society as soon as possible. Perhaps it was talented, hardworking, and it took only two years. When Hu Liang took the entrance exam for the Austrian elementary school at the age of 6, her German level was exactly the same as other Austrian children.
After graduating from elementary school, what junior high school? Her parents wanted to send her to the best school in Austria-Theresianum, Austria's most famous aristocratic institution.
Although parents know that tuition fees are high in this aristocratic institution, the tuition for a child's semester is equivalent to the salary of a restaurant chef for a whole month. However, parents who are still not lenient in the entrepreneurial period would rather save themselves by frugality and give their children the best growing environment.
The school is so good, the threshold is naturally not low. Fortunately, Hu Liang was a school bully since she was a child. "If you want to be the first, you will be very sad if you can't do it."
Of course, Hu Liang is not difficult to study for, but not only that, because of her excellent performance, she also received a scholarship from Theresianum.
A few years later, Hu Liang became a Chinese graduate from Theresianum.
The years of studying at Theresianum have become an important turning point in her life. Students are rich or expensive, and many are children of diplomats from all over the world.
In contrast, the only Chinese who did not wear a famous brand became the object of many students' cynicism.
"When I was sad, I went to Opa and said, Opa told me what clothes to wear outside is not important, the important thing is a person's character." But when Hu Liang copied these words to her classmates, their response was Yes: "What weird words did this person say..."
Hu Qiang, who is so strong, accidentally discovered that her Austrian classmates felt very good when they saw the Chinese Kung Fu in the movie. She has a plan. Watching TV and learning a little kung fu style, whenever she was mocked by her classmates, she put on a look that she would be kung fu.
Over time, the students spread: "This Chinese seems to be kung fu, not easy to mess with! We must be careful with her..."
Gradually, the number of people who bullied her actually became less.
At the same time, after Hu Liang has never been unwilling in school, she also talked and participated in speech training. The school has some opportunities to choose 10 people from all over Austria to participate in the activities of the young European Parliament. She also actively strives for and is selected ...
"When I graduated from high school, I wanted to be in politics, but there were many people who supported the Blue Party in Austria at that time. I don't think it was an appropriate time for me." Hu Liang said. So although she had been admitted to the political science department of a prestigious school in France, considering the political environment in Austria at that time, she felt that there was no future in reading, and she had to give up her ideals temporarily.
Despite being discriminated against by classmates at Theresianum, Hu Liang, who is proficient in the five languages of German, English, French, Japanese and Chinese, is still very grateful to the school: "The teacher is very good, where you can learn not to learn in other schools. Things, such as speaking skills, there are many opportunities for various lectures and competitions, and the school has very good language teaching and strict requirements." Hu Liang said that this is also her high score in IELTS after graduation and was directly accepted by University College London (UCL: University College London) An important reason for admission and award of scholarships.
When he arrived in the UK in 2004, Hu Liang really felt what an international life is. "There is no feeling of xenophobia in the UK. There are only 3 British people in our university class, and all the others are foreigners." In London, Hu Liang was exposed to the cultural customs of different countries. "When I was a child, I only knew right or wrong. There are many different possibilities in the world. Many times, there is more than one truth."
After four years of studying in London, Hu Liang obtained a master's degree in pharmacy from UCL School of Pharmacy. Because she was recognized by her employer during her internship, she was allowed to take the manager’s training and exams in advance. After graduation, Hu Liang became the manager of a flagship store in Boots, a large British pharmacy chain.
It seems that there is a great future in the UK, but the boyfriend who is also the second generation of the Austrian "Hua" found a good job in Austria after graduating from King's College London. Because of love, Hu Liang decided to follow her boyfriend and return to Austria.
The "boyfriend" at that time has now become Hu Liang's husband, the father of her children.
He wrote more than 2,000 emails in the UK to get an internship opportunity; Hu Liang, who ran one by one in a pharmacy and found a job opportunity, thought that starting from scratch in Austria would be difficult.
Unexpectedly, by chance, she saw on the Internet that a pharmacy in the 16th district of Vienna wanted to develop Chinese medicine business, looking for professionals in this field, she flew directly back to Vienna from London to participate in the interview. Although Hu Liang did not know how to be a Chinese doctor at the time, the boss decided to pay her to send her for training because she appreciated her. She still invited her to join their team.
Thanks to the boss's trust and cultivation, Hu Liang has been there for eight years.
During this period, she studied at the Vienna College of Traditional Chinese Medicine for three years, and also obtained a certificate of Chinese medicine at Fuzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China. Her grandfather and uncle are also Chinese medicine in China. Every time they return to China, they also follow their apprenticeship. You can learn a lot from a day's consultation with your uncle."
Today, Hu Liang, who is a mother of two children, is the manager of Adler Apotheke, the earliest Chinese medicine store in Austria in the 16th district of Vienna. She is also sitting at the pharmacy every Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 am to 3 pm. She also goes to Vienna Traditional Chinese Medicine every month. The school teaches, and also runs a Chinese restaurant Pingpong (ping pong) in partnership with friends in Seestadt, Vienna. The operation of Pingpong social media is her own hands...
As someone else, Hu Liang may have been too busy, but Hu Liang still has the power to spare. After the establishment of the New Austrian Party in 2013, Hu Liang deeply agreed with their views and pursuits, which reawakened her dream of politics.
"The new party has many international, free, and pragmatic views, which I agree with." Hu Liang admits why she encountered discrimination when she was a child. In fact, the people who discriminated against her did not understand China. "This can be changed through education. Yes, so the New Party attaches great importance to education", such as supporting the digital construction of schools in Austria, caring for students who are marginalized in the school, and requiring social workers to intervene in caring for them...
At the same time, it asked to help more business people who did not receive government assistance in the epidemic, called on Austria to add more pediatricians, community clinics, support for vaccination in pharmacies, support for gender equality, combat domestic violence, and treat immigrants rationally Do not blindly exclude... In Hu Liang's view, the New Austrian Party's attitude towards social issues is very pragmatic, not empty slogans, all the starting point is to solve practical social problems.
Because the New Party is free, open, and pragmatic, the election of the Vienna parliamentary candidates can be participated by anyone who is over 16 years old, living in Vienna, and having a registered residence. Elections are also fair. Candidates with more votes will definitely rank higher and participate in elections. There is no other room for operation.
"Unfortunately, many Chinese have wasted their rights and never voted." Seeing that the Turks have their own representatives in the Austrian Parliament and the various state parliaments, as well as Arabs and blacks, only Asians do not. Hu Liang has always felt sad.
"In fact, the history of Chinese immigration in Austria can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty." Hu Liang said. However, due to the relatively weak political consciousness of the Chinese people, the voice of the Chinese has been difficult for the Austrian mainstream society to hear, and the appeal of the Chinese has been difficult to rise into the topic of discussion in the Austrian Parliament and Parliament. "We should start to change this situation!" Hu Liang said, she is willing to become a representative of the Chinese community in Austria, to speak for everyone, to bring the appeal of the Chinese to the Austrian Parliament and Parliament, and contribute to the better development of Chinese in Austria. .
