I came across news of a favorite blogger, Lan Zhanfei, being tied up, and suddenly recalled my experiences traveling abroad a few years ago—most locals were friendly and honest, and transactions were straightforward, with no encounters of the so-called "scams" online.

In the end, I fell into a trap at a restaurant run by Fujianese people right before leaving 🤣. The prices were inflated, and the portions were short; when I complained, the owner had a dismissive attitude, thinking, "You're just a tourist anyway."

Now I finally understand the tour guide's repeated advice: "When abroad, if a fellow countryman approaches you, don't easily open your heart, and try to avoid conversations as much as possible." I used to think this advice was too extreme; having seen too many similar frustrating experiences, I now realize this isn't about being xenophobic, but rather a heartfelt warning from someone who has been through it.

It’s not that fellow countrymen are untrustworthy, but when you're outside your homeland, human greed and calculations don't vanish just because you speak the same language. This world has never been peaceful everywhere; we are just fortunate to be born in a stable China. When our own people deceive each other, they can be quite ruthless; the saying goes, "When villagers meet, they stab each other in the back"—it's absolutely true.

A reminder to all the brothers working and traveling abroad: do not harbor malicious thoughts, but do not lower your guard either! No matter who the other person is, stay vigilant to protect your safety and wallet. $BTC $ETH #加密市场反弹
