Chapter 33 Inequality is the beginning of progress toward equality (1)

I saw someone sarcasm me on the website, saying that you Li Ao, you are getting more and more left-leaning.Let me tell you, my thoughts are originally left-leaning.Some people say that you are becoming more and more like the Communist Party.I once replied to him, I said that I really wish I was that kind of old-generation Communist Party.What do you mean by that?I once told everyone: the great painter Picasso, he said he was a member of the Communist Party.The Soviet Union said that you are a Communist Party, but you are not at all.He said: Why am I the Communist Party when I join your organization? I can say that I am the Communist Party.This is Picasso.Why did I say "I wish I was an older Communist Party member"?Because there is a painful story in it.

Look, everyone, this is Spain.There is a place in northern Spain called Bilbao. There is a small place twelve miles northeast of Bilbao that was bombed during the Spanish Civil War.Who bombed it?It was bombed by Hitler's Germans on Franco's side who helped in the civil war. They were bombed to pieces and killed 1,200 people.When it was bombed, the Germans said they would use this city to test the difference between the bomb and the incendiary bomb.So cruel, it exploded to pieces.The great Spanish painter Pablo Picasso, he painted this famous painting.After this famous painting was painted, the Germans found Picasso and said that it was you who did it, and this painting was what you did.He replied and said: You did it, because you bombed him like this, so I drew him.Why did this happen?This matter goes back to that year (1936), when a civil war broke out in Spain.The reason for the civil war was that people on the left succeeded in the election, but some people on the right were not convinced, and they wanted to overthrow this legal election.how is it?There was an army led by General Franco to eliminate the legitimate leftist government, and finally surrounded Madrid.This is General Franco's siege of Madrid.When Madrid was besieged, problems arose, and leftists fought bitterly to defend Madrid, which lasted for three years.Three years later Madrid fell, and thousands died.At that time, the list of political prisoners was 2 million. In the entire Spanish Civil War, 600,000 people died in the whole country. Many people were killed, and those who were not killed fled.Where did they go?They went to France and went to many places.

There's a novel (and a movie too) called Behold A Pale Horse, and the movie is called that too.After most people read this (English) name, the direct translation is "seeing a gray horse", but to me, Li Ao, or to people with English skills, he doesn't think so, because it is an allusion .What allusion?Please read the Old and New Testaments that Christians believe in. The last book in the New Testament is called "Revelation". Read this passage in "Revelation", do you see it? And I saw (I see), and behold (see), a pale horse (a gray horse).What should I do?Look at its Chinese translation, it said that it saw a gray horse, and the name on the horse was "Death".Oh, now we know that Behold A Pale Horse is an allusion, which comes from the New Testament. It means seeing a gray horse, which means that I saw death.

What kind of story is this?When a Communist Party was massacred in Madrid, he escaped and fled to France.The Communist Party is played by Gregory Peck in the movie.He lived in poverty in France.One day, a child came to him, and he asked the child, "Who are you?" and the child said his father's name.Who is his father?It was their comrades in the Communist Party who were killed.The child crossed the Pyrenees from Madrid and traveled from Spain to France to find his hero, the Communist Party played by Gregory Peck.In fact, he was very down and out, but the child didn't know it, and thought he was his father's revolutionary comrade. He wanted to cross the Pyrenees to find his father's comrade, and asked him to return to Spain to avenge his father.

It was the general who asked this question, the general of the first army, he couldn't tell the whole situation to the children, that is, "I can't go back, we have no hope, our battle is defeated, your father is dead up".He couldn't tell this.He promised the child, "I'll go back, you wait, I'll go back." As a result, he really crossed the Pyrenees from France to Spain.At this time, the Spanish police chief (played by the big star Anthony Kun) knew that he was coming back.Why come back?Because he knew this important Communist Party, when he was about to leave Spain, he made a promise to his mother, saying: "Mom, I have to leave, I have to escape, but we will meet again in this life, at least we will meet once before we die. "The police chief got the information, and found out that his mother was hospitalized and dying. He thought that the Communist Party would sneak back and kill him when he sneaked back.
