Unofficial Talks: How Dare You Barbarians Compete with Us?

Informal Talks is a program for cultural exchange among countries around the world.

Ten countries each send a representative to take part. On the show, they discuss their respective national cultures and compete to outdo one another!

At first, everyone focused on the other nine countries.

The representatives of those nine countries bragged and showed off, boasting about how impressive their cultures and histories were.

But once Shen Fei arrived, the nature of the show changed.

"Talking history? My Huaxia has five thousand years of history and is one of the four ancient civilizations. What can any of you compare to that?"

"Talking musical instruments? Just look at the zither family: we have the flute, the hu, the zheng, the xiao, the drum, the pipa, and so many more!"

"Talking inventions? The compass, gunpowder, papermaking, and printing: their names have been passed down through the ages and survive to this day!"

"Talking culture? We have the Hundred Schools of Thought from the Spring and Autumn period, the flourishing of ideas, Tang poetry, Song lyrics, and the Four Great Classical Novels. What can any of you compare to that?"

"Talking national strength? Since the Qin dynasty, my Huaxia has stood proud above all under heaven. The Ninja Country and the Cosmic Country are both our vassal states!"
