Chapter 234 Can I use QQ abroad? (8th update)
Immediately, everyone sat up straight, and no one dared to be frivolous at this moment.

When Lu Chuan saw Han Sanping, she quickly put out the cigarette in her hand.

He quickly went outside and opened the windows and turned on the fan.

Qi Hui and Wu Jing scoffed. How ridiculous it was that they were arrogant at first but then obsequious!
No wonder he's Taro Rikukawa; he's just like his Japanese father.

"Alright, alright," Han Sanping called out. "Go ahead and smoke, no need for this. I just came to check on you, I won't bother you."

"Sit down, everyone."

As Han Sanping spoke, he waved his hand, signaling everyone to sit down.

Lu Chuan was somewhat embarrassed. Han Sanping's words had completely caught him off guard, leaving him feeling rather frustrated.

His relationship with Han Sanping was not bad before. Around the turn of the millennium, Han Sanping took a liking to the script of his first film, "Looking for a Gun".

However, the project was delayed due to funding issues. Later, his aunt approached Jiang Wen and persuaded her before Han Sanping began to provide support.

Han Sanping either doesn't support him or he goes all out, giving him great convenience and even giving him a cameo role in his movie.

Originally, he was a rising star among directors, but film critics were blind and made irresponsible comments.

The audience is not lacking in artistic taste, unable to understand art, or even criticizing themselves.

This has led to him becoming increasingly unpopular over the years.

Han Sanping, on the contrary, insists on promoting commercial films, disregarding artistic merit for the sake of box office revenue.

This has led to increasingly worse films in recent years, making this talented director increasingly distressed.

He wished Han Sanping could go back to the way he was before, and become the Han Sanping who valued artistic achievement and focused on art itself.

No one knows what Lu Chuan is thinking, and even if they did, no one would care.

Qi Hui and the others were all focused on Han Sanping, listening to his speech.

Han Sanping looked around and said slowly, "You are all promising young people in the film industry, so I won't say much more. Just study hard and watch carefully."

"Another point is that it is very dangerous abroad, especially in the United States, in many ways."

"The food, accommodation, and security are all very dangerous. Be careful when you go there."

After saying that, he nodded slightly, turned and left. He had a lot on his plate, and he was only here to reassure these people.

Qi Hui and the others clapped and watched Han Sanping leave.

After the applause subsided slightly, the middle-aged man in a suit smiled and nodded, and slowly said:
"My name is Yan Tao. I am the person in charge of liaison for this talent exchange program. I currently work at China Film Group Corporation and am responsible for external affairs."

"I will be leading your team on this trip to the Americans."

Upon hearing this, Qi Hui and the others knew that the person in front of them was their leader during this period.

"Besides me, there will be another person traveling with you who will be in charge of your logistics, such as booking hotels, booking flights, and answering any questions you may have about things abroad."

Lu Chuan looked up and asked, "A woman?"

Yan Tao glanced at Lu Chuan: "Yes, she has extensive experience in foreign affairs."

Lu Chuan's lips twitched, as if she were muttering something to herself.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic," Yan Tao said. "Has any of you been abroad? To the United States?"

Upon hearing this question, Qi Hui and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

Qi Hui and Lu Yang had only been graduating and working for a short time, and had no intention of going abroad at all.

After graduating, Guo Fan moved to Beijing and made a living by shooting commercials, while also supporting his girlfriend and preparing for graduate school.

He was dirt poor, and sometimes his girlfriend had to help him out.

Wu Jing had been to Hong Kong Island, and although the situation there was special, it couldn't be considered a foreign country.

"I've been to Europe, but not to America." Lu Chuan raised his hand; he was the only one who had been abroad.

He took "Kekexili" to European film festivals and traveled to many countries.

“Okay, let me explain,” Yan Tao said. “The United States is an unusual country. Everyone owns guns, there is rampant abuse of various illegal drugs, and a diverse mix of races.”

"The area is dangerous and the security situation is chaotic. Remember, there are many gangs there, it's extremely dangerous..."

Yan Tao, with a serious expression, was giving Qi Hui and the others a safety education lesson, explaining the situation of the Americans in detail. Guo Fan and Lu Yang were stunned by what he said; the America Yan Tao described was different from the America they knew.
Isn't that place a beacon of freedom, a paradise on earth?

For the sake of a sparrow tangled in an electrical wire, the president could even order fighter jets to smash the wires.

In their pursuit of freedom, the people there even let wildfires burn unchecked.

There's also a powerful little passport that ensures you'll receive military protection wherever you go.

Why does it sound different now than before?

Does this mean the US military can only act arrogantly abroad and can't fight gangs and drug traffickers?

Wu Jing's expression was slightly solemn, but he wasn't too surprised. Hong Kong was also in chaos during the millennium, which he had witnessed firsthand, so he wasn't that surprised.

Qi Hui, on the other hand, remained calm. Having experienced those two incredibly outrageous American presidents, he was not surprised by anything that happened in the United States.

Unless a movement breaks out there and all the capitalists are hanged, Qi Hui will remain completely unmoved.

He's seen all sorts of fantastical things, more outrageous than anything depicted in Hollywood blockbusters.

Lu Chuan frowned, a hint of impatience in her expression.

However, he wasn't a hothead and wouldn't jump up and refute on the spot.

"We'll be going to two places on this trip. One is Busan, where there's a film festival."

"One is Paramount in Hollywood."

"Everyone, please leave your phone numbers and QQ numbers with me. I'll create a chat group later. If you have any issues, please share them and we can resolve them together."

After speaking, Yan Tao looked at everyone and asked, "Any other questions?"

"Um..." Lu Yang raised his hand and asked, "Can I use QQ abroad?"

"If I use it, can I contact people back home?"

He... well, he had a roommate who often browsed overseas websites when he was in school, and he looked at some English teachers from Europe and America.

His roommate especially loves learning foreign languages.

Foreign languages ​​are great! I need to learn them!
But to learn a foreign language, you have to use ladders and other methods.

Because there's a wall, you have to climb over it.

So here's the question: how do you bypass internet restrictions and use QQ while abroad?
"Does anyone know the answer to this question?" Yan Tao asked with a smile, looking at the five people present.

Qi Hui looked at them and slowly said, "I understand."

Wu Jing, Guo Fan, and the others cast surprised glances at them. What do you know?
"Oh?" Yan Tao was somewhat surprised. "Qi Hui, tell me about it?"

Qi Hui carefully considered his words before saying, "Our wall doesn't separate us from the outside world, but from the illegal."

"You can browse any website that is registered in China and operates in accordance with the laws of our country."

"The reason why those foreign websites are inaccessible is because they do not comply with our country's regulations and laws, so they are banned."

"Therefore, we can use domestic websites while abroad."

"Domestic access will not be blocked simply because an overseas IP address is detected."

This is also why, more than a decade later, those TikTok refugees could easily download Xiaohongshu and communicate with Chinese netizens.

Of course, being persuaded by Chinese netizens to download Pinduoduo also means the same thing.

In addition, quite a few Japanese teachers, both serious and unserious, have also opened accounts on Bilibili.

Even the usually indifferent John Khan received a reply from Airi Suzuki.

However, this has also led to a large number of foreign accounts causing trouble in the country, making all sorts of sarcastic and sarcastic remarks.

Especially back when the geographical location of IP addresses wasn't publicly disclosed.
I remember in 09, an earthquake somewhere caused an undersea fiber optic cable to break.

Suddenly, the internet connection between the mainland and the outside world was lost.

Suddenly, the mainland website became clean and tidy, and no one kept nagging, being sarcastic, or cursing anymore.
