The man named Yiben said, "Big brother Saliem, I still don't understand why we can't speak our native language in this room with just the four of us and have to speak this damned English. You should know that it's these Western countries that have done the most harm to our people. It's already good enough that we're not taking revenge on them, so why should we learn their culture? This poker is invented by them, and the gambling methods too..."
Saliem replied, "Yiben, although we are rapidly rising, it's undeniable that we are not yet strong enough, so we need to be as cautious as possible. Not speaking our native tongue is to avoid exposing our true identities. Here we are, playing cards, drinking, and speaking English; who would guess who we really are? As for learning Western culture, that is to take advantage of their strengths, so in the future we can use what we've learned to hit back at them."
