Since ancient times, the people of Han had a very narrow mindset towards China.
Cui Junyong was popular because of those ancient painting skills. When people asked him where his painting skills were from, Cui Junyong never said that he had learned them from China.
Instead, he said that this was a painting method created by his ancestors. Then, his ancestors passed away and left these precious legacies to their descendants. In this way, he had the background of a painting family.
And those painting skills that one had never heard or seen in the world of calligraphy and painting in the past had made him famous in Han Country.
Information between China and Han Country was not transmitted smoothly, let alone a painter. The Chinese did not pay much attention to him. What attracted Cui Yongjun's attention was a conversation he had had with a reporter at the art exhibition.
At that time, a Chinese reporter felt that Cui Yongjun's painting was somewhat similar to the style of an ancient painting master in China, so he casually asked.
"Your painting style is a little similar to that of a master in China. Have you learned some of his painting skills?"
It was a very normal question, but Cui Yongjun had a guilty conscience. He felt extremely guilty after being asked this question, but he pretended to be very arrogant.
"Tsk, China? These paintings were created by my ancestors. Does China know any of these painting techniques? Me learning from China? Who knows if China is the origin of ink painting? According to me, many of China's painting techniques were learned from our country."
This statement was sent back to China by Chinese reporters. After the news media reported it, it immediately caused a huge commotion.
Amongst the four ancient civilizations, China was the country without a stop in their heritage. After five thousand years of glorious Chinese culture, the Chinese had always been proud of it.
Cui Yongjun's words aroused public anger.
[ F*ck!! Where did this Tom, Dick, or Harry come from? What nonsense are you talking about? Does my magnificent China need to learn things from your barbaric land? ]
[ It's Country Han's old profession. After all, what they're best at is stealing things and blaming others. Urgh. ]
[ I'm so angry. As expected, he's a purebred Han Guo. Hasn't this lousy country always used our cultural skills to apply for the non-material cultural heritage of the world??? Is this another scam? ]
[ How dare you brag about the ink painting in Country Han?? Don't you care about our country's thousands of years of history?? That tone made me laugh. ]
[ I didn't watch the video. I knew that it must be something the people of the Han Country did. As expected, I clicked on the comments and guessed right. ]
Many netizens spontaneously climbed over the wall to Han Country's social media app and found Cui Yongjun's social media account, leaving messages to demand an apology from him.
The netizens of Han Country had never been on good terms with the Chinese netizens. Half a year ago, netizens of the two countries had a huge fight over the black whistle incident of the judge of Han Country and had quarreled on social networks.
Before the old hatred subsided, new hatred arose.
The Chinese netizens had experience this time and gathered in advance. They were worried that the Country Han netizens could not understand Chinese, so the Chinese netizens even considerately wrote Korean on their emoticons.
There was only one motive for all sorts of denouncements. They wanted Cui Yongjun to apologize for his frivolous words.
On the other hand, the netizens of Han Country felt that there was nothing wrong with what their artist said. Many of the techniques were originally created by Cui Yongjun. Although he was a little arrogant when he said this, his words were crude but his reason was not wrong, so they stood beside Cui Yongjun and spoke for him.
