The thoughts of Huaxia people are actually quite conflicted and strange.
For example, when talking about their alma mater with outsiders, most will modestly downplay it a bit.
"Our school isn't that great."
They can even spell out these shortcomings in detail, like this isn't good, that isn't good. Even a bunch of complaints.
If the person across doesn't understand etiquette and agrees by saying how lousy the school is, the next words will probably start to turn sarcastic...
"Oh, which school did you graduate from? Care to share?"
Even if they are gentle by nature and won't voice their dissatisfaction, they won't feel good about it inside.
The main point is our alma mater, we can criticize it ourselves, but others can't.
In today's specific situation, although not everyone likes Qiao Yu, and some even privately dislike such a person.
For example, the admirers of Keke.
