Influenced by Confucian culture and doctrine, most Chinese are calm and do not want to cause any trouble.
Among their own countrymen, this kind of character is appreciated and even admired, but in foreign lands, it is often seen as easy bait for bullies.
Li Du has also observed, while he was overseas, that some foreigners like to bully Chinese people. They believed that Chinese people were meek, soft, and did not like to meddle in things. Bullies loved to pick on seemingly soft people like this and definitely would not let them get off the hook so easily.
Li Du hated such people, who were afraid of the strong and bullied the weak. At the same time, he disliked the character of some Chinese people, who were indeed soft and easily bullied.
