What the old man uttered was not a weak moan, but sonorous and decisive words. Just when I was so surprised that I couldn't close my mouth from ear to ear, the gum man stood up and moved to the next car.But I guess it wasn't shame or anger that drove him to his feet, but rather shock. The old man with a hunched back calmly walked forward and sat on the empty seat as if nothing had happened, as if he was lucky that the seat was vacant.When I met his eyes, I was worried that I would be reprimanded by the old man, so I quickly looked away. At the time, I couldn't understand what was going on.It's just that the lines in my heart are exactly the same as the old man's occasional roar, and I am deeply moved.

It wasn't until the next day that I felt something unusual, so I began to study the "abilities" I possessed. At eleven o'clock on Monday morning, I was at work, sitting in front of the computer. "Have you seen the news?" My colleague Tomoko, who was sitting on the left seat, leaned out and pushed my shoulder.Man Zhizi is one year older than me, with big brown curly hair, and her noble appearance looks like a daughter of a good family, exuding the style of an over-age senior. I looked to the right, and after confirming that the section chief was not in the seat, I tilted my body and put my face in front of Tomoko's computer screen. The words "Pollution in the East China Sea may be difficult to recover" immediately came into view.It turned out to be Internet news.

"Don't you think it's exaggerated?" This is a follow-up report of China's strife in the East China Sea. A few years ago, China carried out a natural gas exploration project in the middle of the East China Sea. It is very smart and brazen to set up the mining base close to the edge of the sea area of ​​Japan, and drill oil pipelines into the seabed surface to extract resources regardless of any consequences.Experts have pointed out before that although these oilfield equipment are outside Japanese territory, what they extract is natural gas within Japanese territory.But no one can prove that China's methods are illegal, even if it can be proved that Japan has never formulated any policy of serious protest in the face of its outrageous and unreasonable neighbors.

Prime Minister Sato visited China this year, but he only received a child-like response, and was even almost expelled at one point.In this regard, Prime Minister Sato said: "Japan is a country that is prudent and has a conscience." Children's quarrels are determined by size and number of people, so China won an overwhelming victory with its vast area and population. A few weeks ago, Donghae had an accident.China's equipment set up at sea suddenly caught fire and collapsed.Fuel that could not be determined to be petroleum or other chemical substances flowed into the sea, and a large number of damaged machines floated on the sea surface, causing serious pollution in the East China Sea.

"It turns out that Tomoko is interested in this kind of news?" "What kind?" "That's the kind of international news." "I'm very concerned about environmental protection." Michiko leaned forward with her tall nose. "However, it is impossible for Japan not to get angry with a firm attitude." "A firm attitude?" "Could it be that we are looked down upon because we don't have force?" "I think it should be the area and population lost." "Even if it's just a quarrel, Japan still has the upper hand." Maybe Michiko is just pretending to be humorous, but I can't help but strongly agree.Man Zhizi went on to say: "It seems that there is no way without force.".

That's true, but I take it with a grain of salt. "Think about it, no matter how earnest a man is, no matter how serious he is, once something goes wrong, he still has to stand up and fight against others. In Japan now, it's like his family is being bullied by his neighbors, and his father still looks helpless .” "That's right." I objected cautiously: "However, I think this example is a bit inappropriate." At the same time, I already expected that Tomoko would ask me, "What's wrong specifically?" Sure enough, Man Zhizi immediately went on to say: "What's wrong specifically?"

"Hmm..." I tilted my head, trying to explain the incongruity I felt.Use your brain, Mr. MacGyver, I said involuntarily. "For example, if the next-door neighbor comes over and turns the house upside down, Dad should really come out and say, 'He's come to my house to do something wrong'." "so what?" "I mean, that's normal. How would you feel if Dad was not arrogant at this time, but said to his wife and children, 'Go and fight the enemy!'?" "Of course not. Does it need to be said?" "Right." "What does that mean?"

"The so-called totalitarianism should be closer to this meaning." "Hey, Ando, ​​how did the topic become totalitarianism?" She frowned and said, "Your girlfriend must think you're full of theory." "The girlfriend who broke up half a year ago once said so." "The next girlfriend should say the same." I wanted to refute, but I kept my mouth shut. At this time the principal came back.The head of the class walked and swaggered as usual.With oily face and dark skin, he looks bold.He has very strict requirements on the work attitude of his subordinates. Whenever he finds someone lazy, he will angrily shout "You prepare me mentally!" When Chang yelled in a deep voice, everyone wanted to say tacitly: "I really haven't prepared myself for anything yet."

"Hirata." The section chief called. "Yes." Hirata sat obliquely in front of me on the left, he answered hoarsely, and walked to the section chief's seat. "Is there a problem?" Where will something happen?Seeing that the class leader is so unhappy, he must be scolded. Hirata is an old senior in the company, in his early forties, with gray hair and a thin, not very tall body.He wore a pair of deep-prescription silver-rimmed glasses that almost sank into the bridge of his nose.When I first joined the company five years ago, Hirata was married, but now he is single.

"I haven't heard of it!" See you after a while, the head of the class yelled, and the body of Tomoko next to him shook. I couldn't help taking a peek, and saw the head of the section Hirata staring at me, and the people around me included Mitsuko.They all lowered their bodies and pretended to be serious about their work, but they were actually eavesdropping on their conversation. "I also reported to you, the section chief, last week." Hirata showed a cowardly expression as usual, looking very frightened. "Last week?" The section chief was obviously very displeased, "What did you report? What did I answer?" The tone seemed to be warning Hirata that if he didn't reproduce the scene at that time word by word, he would suffer. up.

"I reported to the section chief that the R&D team's schedule is too tight. After listening to the section section, the section chief instructed that the other party should temporarily accept it. As for some finished product testing, it will be carried out on another schedule." "I said you, if you ship first in this state, do you think the customer will agree?" "I think so too, but you, the section chief..." "How am I?" "Uh, this..." Hirata was overwhelmed by the section chief's aura. "The section chief said that you will deal with this part." "Hirata, I really don't know what to say about you." The section chief sighed deliberately. "Student leader, class leader, don't you have a sense of responsibility?" Every time the class leader tries to deceive people by speaking and forcefully subdue them, his voice will get louder.He always speaks boldly without thinking about it, fools his subordinates, waits until a problem arises, and then raises his voice and shouts: "I don't remember saying these words." Are you fully responsible?" "Hirata, you'd better prepare me mentally." The section chief really said this. In the office, only the sound of people tapping keyboards meaninglessly can be heard intermittently. When I came back to my senses, I realized that Tomoko was staring at the computer screen, while reaching to the left side of my seat, and passed a note to me.I took the note, and Michiko's neat handwriting said "Hirata should be finished this time."I thought to myself, "It's over" is really an abstract way of expressing it, but I can completely understand what she wants to express.I picked up the ballpoint pen on the table, and quickly wrote "It's the head of the class who screwed up" in the blank space below. Man Zhizi immediately sent back the note. "However, Hirata is too useless." I held back the gibberish that had spilled out of my mouth, Hirata might be really useless, but I don't think we have the right to criticize him.I looked at Hirata's back again, I don't know if my eyes were dazzled, but I actually saw his shoulders shaking constantly. "But," Hirata's voice suddenly became sharper than usual. "However," then immediately repeated in a low voice: "However, it is true that the section chief instructed so." "You guy," the section chief sighed full of insults, "not only can't do things, but can't even reflect on yourself? That's why you're so useless." I couldn't imagine what the section chief would say next, I saw Hirata listening to the section chief's training, like a remnant soldier who lost his combat effectiveness, and his morale dropped to the bottom. "National of Japan," I remembered an article in a book.It was a book about fascism, which said: "The Japanese people have been fully educated to obey the rules. Therefore, there have been no large-scale riots in the past." At this time, every word came to my mind.When I first read these words, I thought approvingly, "We are indeed like domesticated animals." When I came back to my senses, I realized that I had been staring at Hirata's back, overlapping myself on top of the petite and thin Hirata.I imagined myself as Hirata and fantasized about entering Hirata's body.I want to use his mouth to scold the section chief and cure his bad nature.I felt twitches in my cheeks and temples, and I held my breath unconsciously.I said silently in my heart: "Section Chief, what do you mean by saying that? If you have the guts to say it again, let's see!" Not long after, Hirata also said: "Section Chief, what do you mean by saying that? Have the guts to say it again!" "Huh?" I couldn't help calling out in a low voice.Hirata said exactly what was in my head.Each of the colleagues craned their necks to look at Hirata with puzzled expressions, wondering what was going on. I was thinking "No way", but at the same time I was kind of expecting and anticipating what was going to happen.Following the method just now, I stared at Hirata's back again, imagined myself entering Hirata's body, held my breath, and said silently: "Stop pretending there, a supervisor who is unwilling to take responsibility, what qualifications do you have to be a supervisor? " I don't know whether to say that everything is as I wished, or to be surprised, but Hirata said exactly the same thing again.His voice sounded as usual, but I've never heard him speak so loudly. Everyone stopped what they were doing and remained motionless in fright.Even the head of the class was captured by this aura, but opened his mouth like a carp.It wasn't until Man Zhizi passed a note that I came back to my senses.The only words on the note were "A Miracle Happened".Is it really a miracle?
