Chapter 31 Aladdin's Lamp and Sanitary Pads (1)

Everyone has read a fairy tale called "The Arabian Nights". It is not enough to call it a fairy tale. In fact, it is a fairy tale for adults. There is a story in "The Arabian Nights", that is, a child got a lamp, the so-called Aladdin's magic lamp. Let me show you a sample of this magic lamp. This is Aladdin's magic lamp.Here is the twist of the wick, here is the lid, and here is Aladdin's magic lamp.The characteristic of the magic lamp is that when it rubs against each other, there will be a "boom", and a devil will appear.This devil is a huge monster, he knelt down to it and said, you are my master, I will accept any order you give me, please give me orders, and I will fulfill any request you have.In other words, this Aladdin's magic lamp, when you rub it, you will be able to respond to your needs, and you will get what you want.

Many years later, this story has a new version in modern times.what version?A man traveled to Tianfang (Arabian Nights, what is Tianfang? Tianfang is modern Iran), he went to an antique shop to buy it, and suddenly he bought such a magic lamp.He originally treated it like an antique, just like mine, but when he grinded it, it made a "boom", and a devil suddenly appeared, and the huge monster knelt down to him.The devil said that this is also a kind of magic lamp, but you can only make three requests to me. After the three requests, there will be no fourth one-it is not that everything is granted, but after the three requests are not answered.He was very happy: How can I have such a magical effect when I bought an antique? Then he said to the devil, his servant, his slave, and his behemoth: "I wish I lived in the palace. " Then with a "boom", he opened his eyes and saw that he really lived in the palace.The first wish was fulfilled, and then he said to the devil: "Second wish, I hope to have a lot of money, a lot of gold and silver treasures." Gold and silver treasures are everywhere.The last wish, he was about to make a wish, he thought for a moment: I live in the palace again, and I have money again, what do I wish for? "I wish to lie between a woman's lap all day and all night." Then with a "boom", he himself changed, what did he become? It became a sanitary napkin, a menstrual pad, which could be placed in the middle of a woman's thigh all day long.

What does this joke mean?It shows that the requirements of the modern version of people are different from the requirements of the ancient version.The modern version of the request is that I sleep in a woman's lap all day long, and what makes him dumbfounded is (turns into) a sanitary napkin.But if you think about it, ancient sanitary napkins are different from modern sanitary napkins: ancient sanitary napkins are made of straw paper; modern sanitary napkins are sterilized. How about sanitary napkins created by various technologies? Absorbent, comfortable to wear.In the advertisements, you can see that there are many advertisements, such as selling cars, airplanes, and stereos, but you should pay attention to that the advertisement for menstrual pads rarely tells you what it sells.A girl told you that she said a word: I have it, and I forget its existence.Forgetting its existence means that it will not make you feel uncomfortable when you wear it on your body, and you feel very comfortable.Because it is so comfortable, it is the best sanitary napkin.The best menstrual pad for the one you forget it's there.

I, Li Ao, was once forgotten about my existence on the island of Taiwan, and was treated as menstrual cotton by others.How long is it?There are fourteen years before and after.For fourteen years, the word "Li Ao" did not appear in Taiwan's books, did not appear on Taiwan's radio, did not appear on Taiwan's TV, and no one mentioned "Li Ao" in public. "Two words.why?became taboo.Why taboo?Because I lived in a cowshed, I was suppressed by the puppet government of the Kuomintang, and I was in prison.Before I was arrested and before and after I was released, I was still very unfree. I was so unfree that no one dared to mention my name.Therefore, the longest time I was blocked was fourteen years, four years more than the ten years of the "Cultural Revolution".To what extent is it blocked?Blocked to a ridiculous degree.

Let’s take a look at the publication published by the KMT’s puppet government. It’s called "Catalogue of Works of Writers of the Republic of China". This is the first (volume), and this is the second (volume).There are two volumes of 900 pages, and 703 writers have been accepted.Among the seven hundred and three writers, there are writers from all walks of life, but there is no Li Ao.This statistic tells you what kind of situation I am in Taiwan—not even a writer.There are 703 writers in Taiwan, but when it comes to rankings, you are ranked beyond 703! It shows how unknown I am, and it can prove how many writers on this ghost island in Taiwan are more famous than me.Why am I (being) treated like this?The reason is to block you, not only to lock you up, the word "Li Ao" cannot appear, we have to forget your existence, because you make us too comfortable, because you are sanitary napkins or menstrual pads, or otherwise Come and say, you make us too uncomfortable to mention you.I came out of this situation.

Interestingly, I am often asked a question: You are so arrogant in Taiwan, today you are still so arrogant on the radio and TV. May I ask: If you were in mainland China, would you be like this?Do you dare to act like this?Will you be allowed to do this?My answer is: This is a hypothetical question. How do you know the result? The best analogy is, what would happen if Lu Xun lived today? A very interesting question. Lu Xun was praised by the government of the People's Republic of China, and was also praised by the Communist Party of China in the past. This is the image of Lu Xun in Shanghai.One of the most interesting phenomena has appeared. I received a book two years ago, which is the book "Lu Xun and Me for Seventy Years".Who wrote it?It was written by Zhou Haiying, the son of Lu Xun. After he published the Taiwan edition, he gave me a copy.There is an important message revealed in this book, that is to say: One day, Mao Zedong chatted with some fellow villagers in Hunan. A translator who had translated the biography of Marx asked Mao Zedong during the chat: How is Lu Xun alive today? a situation?Mao Zedong thought about it for a while, and came to a conclusion. Mao Zedong said that he was either in prison, or he was basically silent.Mao Zedong said that Lu Xun was either in jail, or he kept silent, and Lu Xun was treated in this way.

I will read two more passages for you.One is what Guo Moruo said about Lu Xun. Guo Moruo said that Lu Xun was under the new regime, that is, under the regime of the People's Republic of China. It depends on his performance before assigning appropriate jobs. This is what Guo Moruo said.In addition, Hu Qiaomu also said that if Lu Xun was around, he would inevitably be a rightist.Mao Zedong said it most frankly, that is, if Lu Xun is alive today, it is inevitable that he will be imprisoned, he will inevitably be struggled, or he will be ignorant of the general situation, so don't talk.My situation, Li Ao, is different from that of Lu Xun. The most different thing is that the people of Lu Xun's era were the last generation whose intellectuals were respected.
