45岁泰国王后跑马拉松，官员们跪在马路上加油，“卑躬屈膝”引热议
45岁泰国王后跑马拉松，官员们跪在马路上加油，“卑躬屈膝”引热议
泰国王后苏提达，在当地时间12月1日参加了名为“2024年神奇泰国马拉松曼谷站”的比赛，她和被称为“马拉松之王”的埃塞俄比亚运动员埃鲁德·基普乔格，一起跑了10公里的路程。
虽说不是全程，但10公里对于大多数人来说也是一个不小的挑战。不过从苏提达跑完之后的状态看，这样的距离对于她来说没有什么难度，不愧是能够参加远距离帆船挑战赛的人，在体能方面确实优秀。
当天的比赛名为“神奇泰国”，而神奇的一幕的确上演了，倒也不是现年45岁的王后亲自参赛，而是在比赛开始前一群身着雪白制服的泰国官员，齐刷刷地跪在了马路上，甚至还有匍匐在苏提达脚下的人。
这些官员似乎想要用这样的方式来为他们的王后加油，只是双膝跪地的姿势再加上洋溢在一些人脸上的略显谄媚的笑容，瞬间“卑躬屈膝”这四个字，被活灵活现地呈现了出来。
领头的男性官员在匍匐之后坐起了身，以便合影的时候可以露脸，只是他也只能是用手支撑着坐在地上，想要起身却也是万万不能的，毕竟怎么可以高过王后呢。
好在苏提达倒也没有直挺挺地站着，为了照片效果，很是配合地俯下了身，或许对于那些官员来说，王后的这个举动是亲和力的体现吧。
想来基普乔格也是感受到了泰国的“神奇”，都2024年了，还能看到那么多人双膝跪地。
想来那些官员们不会觉得自己跪地迎接王后有什么不妥，毕竟这就是他们的礼仪，但显然这是持续不断地引发争议的一种礼仪，毕竟它意味着无法人人平等。
这是大约四年前发生在曼谷地铁中的一幕，身为首批乘客的泰国国王拉玛十世玛哈·哇集拉隆功和王后苏提达端坐在座椅上，而其他的所有人或坐或跪地聚集在旁边，反正没有一个人是比这对夫妇“高”的。
这一幕被当时的英国报纸直接描述为了“卑躬屈膝”，很多看了这条消息的英国人也对此很是不理解，进而也想知道泰国国民对此有何想法。
但是4年过去了，类似的画面仍然会出现，而且无论是跪下的人还是接受跪拜的人，都觉得这是习以为常的事情，更是不会觉得有什么不妥。
当有人匍匐在脚边时，苏提达仍旧是笑得手舞足蹈，显然没有觉得有什么不妥，就是不知道同样面带笑容的基普乔格会不会有些尴尬。不过他可能会暗自庆幸一下，因为这种见到王室成员时需要下跪表达敬意的规矩，并没有适用于外国人。
就在跑完10公里马拉松的当天，苏提达又精神饱满地陪伴着她的丈夫前往了清迈府，参加那里举行的一场纪念活动。
The 45 year old Thai queen ran a marathon, and officials knelt on the road cheering, causing heated discussions about "groveling and bowing"
picture
Thai Queen Sutida participated in the "2024 Magical Thai Marathon Bangkok Station" on December 1st local time. She ran 10 kilometers with Ethiopian athlete Elud Kipchog, known as the "King of Marathon".
Although not the entire journey, 10 kilometers is still a significant challenge for most people.
However, judging from Sutida's state after running, such a distance is not difficult for her, and she is truly capable of participating in long-distance sailing challenges. Her physical fitness is indeed excellent.
picture
The competition on that day was called "Magical Thailand", and a magical scene did happen. It was not the 45 year old queen who personally participated, but a group of Thai officials in snow-white uniforms kneeling on the road before the competition began, and even people crawling at Sutida's feet.
These officials seemed to want to cheer for their queen in this way, but the kneeling posture and the slightly flattering smiles on some people's faces instantly brought to life the four words "groveling and bowing".
picture
The leading male official sat up after crawling, so that he could show his face during the group photo. However, he could only support himself with his hands and sit on the ground. It was absolutely impossible for him to stand up, after all, how could he surpass the queen.
Fortunately, Sutida did not stand upright. For the sake of the photo effect, she obediently bent down. perhaps for those officials, the queen's gesture was a manifestation of affinity.
I think Kipchog also felt the "magic" of Thailand. It's already 2024 and you can still see so many people kneeling down.
picture
I don't think those officials would find it inappropriate to kneel down and greet the queen, after all, this is their etiquette, but obviously it is a constantly controversial etiquette, after all, it means that everyone cannot be equal.
This is a scene that happened in the Bangkok subway about four years ago. As the first passengers, Thai King Rama X Maha Vajiralongkorn and Queen Suthida sat on their seats, while everyone else gathered nearby, either sitting or kneeling. Anyway, no one was "taller" than this couple.
This scene was directly described as "groveling" by British newspapers at that time. Many British people who read this news also did not understand it, and they also wanted to know what Thai people thought about it.
picture
But four years have passed, and similar scenes still appear, and both those kneeling down and those receiving kneeling worship feel that this is a common thing and do not feel anything inappropriate.
When someone was crawling at her feet, Sutida still laughed and danced around, obviously not feeling anything wrong, but she didn't know if Kipchoge, who was also smiling, would feel a bit embarrassed.
However, he may secretly congratulate himself, because the rule of kneeling to show respect when meeting royal family members is not applicable to foreigners.
picture
On the day of finishing the 10 kilometer marathon, Sutida accompanied her husband to Chiang Mai province with great enthusiasm to attend a commemorative event held there.
