Chapter 35 Inequality is the beginning of progress toward equality (3)

Someone said: You, Li Ao, are here again. Are you the Communist Party when you say these words?Let me tell you, I am in Taiwan's law.Please take a look at what I said in my memoir, how I was sentenced—I was sentenced according to Article 2 of the "Regulations on Punishment of Rebellion".Please take a look at the second article. According to the regulations on the inspection and suppression of "bandits and spies" during the war, the "bandits and spies" in the second regulation refer to the "traitors" referred to in the "Regulations on Punishment of Rebellions".Based on this judgment, and according to Article 1 of the "Regulations on Punishment of Rebellion", the term "traitor" in this Regulation refers to the person who committed the crimes in Article 2.I, Li Ao, was imprisoned according to the second article of the "Regulations on Punishment of Rebellion", so I am a "bandit spy", see? I am a "bandit spy".Your "bandit spies" are more serious than the Communist Party. The Communist Party is the Communist Party. You work for the Communist Party and spy on intelligence. You are an active Communist Party, which is more serious than the Communist Party.So I didn't wrong the Kuomintang at all when I was locked up. The charges were wrong, and they didn't understand me.

So, we can see what price we pay today.Leaning to the left in thinking has nothing to do with it, my thinking is very left-leaning.However, I must tell everyone that we have paid a price for our thoughts.I have also told you time and time again that the Communist Party’s idea is the most beautiful, that is, each should do what he can, and each should take what he needs. This is the most beautiful ideal of human beings, and no one can defeat this ideal.When we carry it out, it will be the same as the slogan of the French Revolution—liberty, equality, and fraternity. Who can say that we are opposed to each other according to their abilities and according to their needs?However, when you fight for these ideals, you will find out how much you have to pay, and when this ideal is really realized, you will discover the famous foreign saying, that is: you die for a doctrine It is easier than realizing this doctrine.Why?When you really want to realize it, you will find that there are many people who are your obstacles, many people who are your stumbling blocks, and many of your own reasons that make you lose.What causes you to cheer up and not lose?Just rely on your meager beliefs, that beliefs are the beliefs that I, Li Ao, have been adhering to for nearly seventy years, and sometimes I myself doubt whether it is worth doing these beliefs.When I have doubts, I give myself pep talk, pep talk, like that religious practice—prayer.Why pray?The reason he prayed was to cheer himself up, just like a car tire, he needed to cheer himself up when he was running out of gas.

I sometimes wonder if something is wrong with what I have preached and believed in my whole life, and I will doubt myself.Of course, after I have gone through various inspections, I found that it is basically tenable, although I am no longer so naive.When I was young, when I was young, I believed that there was nothing wrong with equality, that freedom, equality, fraternity, and freedom were wonderful.As I got older, I found that human beings are not equal, as the author George Orwell said, some people are equal and some people are not.He wrote this in his novel "Animal Farm".So what should we do at this time?Why are some people born so beautiful, some so ugly, some so healthy and some so weak? Some are born with silver spoons in their mouths, some are born so poor ?This inequality is a phenomenon in the world. We were deceived by the word "equality" at the beginning, which is wrong.If we recognize inequality and change it under the standard of inequality, that would be pragmatic.

Therefore, today's Communist Party admits that we don't want to be poor from the beginning. It is wrong to be a poor Communist Party. We want to make everyone rich.How are you rich?1.3 billion people are rich at the same time?Impossible, we must make some people rich first, this is Deng Xiaoping's policy, let some people get rich first, and then everyone will get rich together slowly.But after some people became rich, we saw these nouveau riche, those in Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, and we saw with our own eyes how unequal they were and how big the gap between rich and poor was.However, when we know that true equality depends on the fruits of inequality, we must endure until we start from inequality and slowly move towards equality.We must acknowledge this painful truth.
