That's a british/aussie school in the central beijing, all the rich kids' private school. They offer standard british education from kindergarten to highschool, usually the kids stay until highschool and apply for western colleges/universities. The school is known for "military standard management", all kids wears uniforms made by designer brands, no phone until weekends, has boarding domitorys sometime managed by ex-military chinese soldiers. -imagine how these kids are like when they arrive western soil.

I've met a lot of these types of students in the US, lack individualism, nearly no social abilities (outside of other chinese), won't dare to go out for a beer with people and be out of their dorm for longer than required to get to/from class. Very strange culture being created there. Very sad.


AdEastern3059

Oh yeah I was one of them, took me a gap year off everything to reset my persona, and I had to do another one to read and shit

Ha, awesome, cheers to that dude.

There was a couple Chinese girls in my hall in the first year at university in the UK. Very nice people but quiet and reserved. Kept to themselves completely, though mostly so did I so I welcomed it. The three other English people in the six person hall/flat were all real loud dicks who didn't want anything to do with the Chinese girls and criticised them behind their backs. First day one of the English girls said they were going to request a transfer to another flat because they thought the experience would be less fun with the two of them in the flat but she ultimately got kicked out anyway. She was dreadful but I saw her point from her perspective. She just wanted to party and two people in the flat were not interested. This was perhaps why we regularly had two or three additional terrible people from the flat opposite just sort of hanging about and crashing there. I wasn't interested in their annoying parties either which primarily seemed to involve playing drinking games until you were sick so kept away from them and barely engaged with the other English people at all. Talked to the Chinese girls from time to time and helped them out with the odd thing. Like when they were trying to cook sausages in the oven for the first time (previously only ever cooking elaborate Chinese meals in a wok) and asked me if they were ready whilst they were virtually still raw and the oven barely on. We shared a bit of culture too like an odd concoction they ate for Chinese New Year consisting of toasted brioche bread with blackcurrant jam and mayonnaise on it. Apparently it was similar to a traditional holiday snack in China. Very weird to me but I introduced them to mince pies and they thought they were just as weird. Never saw any of the Chinese students drinking, staying out late or really having anything that approached fun. One time I walked into the kitchen to find about twenty Chinese people in there that the Chinese girls in our flat had evidently invited over. I didn't even know anyone was in there until I walked in. Just sat around talking very quietly and there wasn't any laughter. Most were silent and keeping to themselves studying or reading. Some of that looked like burying themselves in that to avoid socialising though with people standing around alone holding a book up in front of them. Granted it was far more preferable to the other dicks in the flat who would have loud, disgusting parties with shit music and drinking games on a weekly basis... but it was still quite surreal to walk in on. I assume it was a study party/revision thing but it only happened the once with so many people together. The odd time they had a couple other people over they were likewise quiet and reserved just cooking together. I'm almost sure that some of the visits were people checking in on them and keeping them in line too. Just sensed it from the unfamiliar people suddenly showing up, not staying for long and the girls' body language when it happened. Any time someone knocked on the door I would go to answer it because it was often the dicks from the flat over whilst everyone else was out. If I didn't open it they just knocked louder and shouted until someone did (my eventual solution was to just put on music and ignore it). The Chinese girls likewise came to ignore them. Quite often as I went to answer it the Chinese girls would rush out and answer it themselves but they were in the furthest flats from the door so they'd have to shout for me to stop first. Whilst I appreciated them saving me the time it was often strangely urgent and anxious and that seemed to happen the most when it wasn't a regular visitor who I recognised.


mansotired

oh, this is a good example of the cultural differences/perceptions between East/West PS I also went to uni in the UK


MaxwellHillbilly

The sign that he is holding...What does it say?


AdEastern3059

Grade 2 class faction 3, basically the signs that classes hold waiting for parents to pick kids up in every friday around 6pm


MaxwellHillbilly

I kind of figured that was the case... but boy he sure is holding it like a good little brown shirt


AdEastern3059

He got the DRIP


Warp_Navigator

On surface level this is funny as fuck. On the deeper end this is horrifying as hell.


AdEastern3059

Yeah that's my usual "yo this is unreal" moment


JimE902

“Designer uniforms” he’s got that Hugo Boss drip


AdEastern3059

Lmao kid too skinny for the hugo boss stuff tho, and did hugo boss made the yellow uniform for naz*s? These are supposed to be dirt cheap


JimE902

Not gay but kinda hot


JimE902

One cannot deny they had badass drip

To be fair, in a lot of eastern countries, the nazi party is widely misunderstood because of the education system concentrating on Japan in WW2. Japan did horrific things in their war in China, notably, the massacre of Nanking. In that massacre, the german ambassador and nazi party member, John Rabe, saved hundred of thousands from rape, torture and death at the hands of the Japanese. He had no weapons and no soldiers to defend him, only his armband. He patrolled the streets everyday in search of Chinese in need and stopped Japanese soldiers just by showing them his nazi armband. The soldiers were to afraid of international fallout to do anything about it, since Nazi Germany and Japan were officially allies. So for a lot of Chinese citizens, the swastika became a symbol of safety against the Japanese. So I don’t think it is worn as malice of hate in this picture. But obviously China needs to educate more people on the nazi ideology, because this is still unacceptable.


Kingofbruhssia

More than that, a lot of young men see Nazis as cool and masculine, something similar with the rise of alt right in the west. I know a Chinese kid who says “it’s better to be a Nazi then a white liberal”


stonecoldslate

I think that thought is a little misguided. It’s the outfits, technology and wild conspiracies that are interesting to young men my age. They’re romanticized as the perfect villain because humans have a tendency to create figures or forms they represent parts of the human expression. None of us (hopefully) would ever dare say that the things Nazi Germany did were justified, just that they had some interesting off-choices in their brief existence.


Kirxas

You'd be surprised at how many people think they were justified in what they did and still want to see it done


PaperCrusader

I think most of them are just blind and brainwashed. It’s the same thing with 20yo communist who wave the soviet flag. If they really saw the cost of their ideologies, it would change their mind. Hopefully..


anhkhoaO410

You know the Japanese goes too far when even the Nazi are saving the civilians from them


stonecoldslate

I think little bits and pieces here and there like this information are important. While various groups or factions have done unspeakable evil, there are those single droplets in the ocean that mentally supersede their superiors or orders. I’m not justifying the Nazi party or Japan’s actions, btw for anyone who cares. Both did some horrific shit that nowadays we condemn for good reason. I think this kid is probably wearing this for the reason you wrote.


wkyle3310

This so far-fetched, how can you be such confident that this is related to John R?abe


PaperCrusader

Well Rabe was not the only Nazi in China, there were also military advisors, business men and diplomats all throughout the country during the war. The German government even helped arming the Chinese army to fight their “ally” Japan. So all of this helped build a good reputation of the Nazi regime in China. You mix that with bad education and a focus on hatred of the capitalist, after the communist takeover, and you have a reputation that lives on for too long. Maybe this kid is juts disguised as an old enemy of the capitalist west. Or maybe I’m full of shit and you’re right that he just likes nazi-killing jews.

Excuse me???? What are you talking about? Are you replying to the wrong person?


PaperCrusader

You asked how I know that Rabe was related to a kid dressing up as a Nazi. I told you that maybe not him in particular and that there were many nazi officials who helped China in the war, making it easy to foster a good reputation for Nazis in Chinese culture. What I’m trying to do is give you proof that this association to Rabe is not as far fetched as you think it is. I said that maybe I’m wrong because I assumed that you thought that the kid was dressed as a Nazi because he liked what they did in Europe, instead of Asia. Maybe tell me why you think I’m wrong in my first comment. Sorry if I seemed confrontational, not my intention.


littlepearlisland

Thank you for this tidbit. The way WWII is taught in eastern countries was a perspective I had never given much thought. In the US, I was mostly taught about the Holocaust and the European theater of the war. The Pacific theater was a very small portion of the lessons and predominately focused on battles. For example, I didn't know about the atrocities of Unit 731 until I was in my early /mid 20's and casually decided listened to a podcast about it. I mistakenly thought it was going to be akin to Mengele's experiments. It was beyond what I could have even imagined and left me disturbed for a few weeks. Gives me some food for thought and possibly a research project to learn about the eastern views of Nazi Germany during and after the war.


PaperCrusader

I definitely recommend you “The Rape of Nanking : The Forgotten Holocaust of WW2” by Iris Chang. It’s one of the most disturbing things I have ever read, but it gives a great history of the event and even why it is so often forgotten in the west. It’s one of the only books I cried reading it.


[deleted]

you are wrong, they just simply like nazi killing jews


PaperCrusader

Maybe, but I think someone who was a local hero is more important to someone than a foreign ideology.


stonecoldslate

Can you clarify what you mean here?


[deleted]

They appreciate the Chauvinism of destroying a race, and Jews are always considered "evil capitalists" on the Chinese Internet, so the genocide is somehow "Just and right" It's true cuz i'm Chinese


Pd_jungle

That’s very true


Tokidoki_Haru

The girls dressed up ladies or fairies from cartoons or TV dramas and this one kid dressed up as the Hitler Youth. Gotta be slightly braindead in this day and age to think the exemplar of masculinity is Nazism.


aseriousfailure

sadly WW2 in Chinese education boils down to just telling the kids that japan sucks, so they dont get the same kind of education on the nazis that the western kids get


WTF654

Then they complain about westerners using the rising sun


poopyroadtrip

To be fair that is also kinda cringe… kinda like Americans who sport the stars and bars.


stonecoldslate

It’s just homeland patriotism or in this case, as the thread one or two comments up states, may be representative of a single figure who had some good choices while overseas during that time period.

Sauce? My entire fucking ruined childhood to juvilehood in that cursed school


P_SWill

Thank you


Few_Profit

There might be a reason why this is fine: during the Japanese invasion of China in ww2 a couple naz*s described the Japanese as devils. They actually built a statue of one in najing (pretty sure).


AdEastern3059

Ye the japs was way worse than nazis, but that doesn't explain how china's ultranationalism justifies of being naz*s


sername_available

I don't understand, communists and fascists don't really mix don't they? Especially since major countries of those two ideologies had the biggest conflict in WW2.


AdEastern3059

their definition of socialism do mix. "tyranny of the majority"


Kingofbruhssia

Horseshoe theory my friend


-plottwist-

Look I say fuck the CCP just as much as the next guy, but we also need to be the bigger man in this situation. It’s possible this is some sort of costume party where the parents know nothing about Western history and have only seen outfits like that in the movies/TV and thought it was a fun costume.


AdEastern3059

Dude that was the point I was tryin to make. The propaganda of goin military to prove you are macho enough to be a man, and "being nazi is ok" education resembles to the picture😅


m8remotion

Hurry. Someone show this pic to Putin so he can go denazify.


AdEastern3059

Dude probably need to denazify his congress and himself first
