Chapter 26 about new text

—— Q&A Comparison is the best thing.Before you know the pinyin characters, you will not think of the difficulty of pictographs; before you see the new Latinized characters, it is difficult to clearly determine the previous phonetic alphabet and Roman spelling, which is still troublesome and impractical. No future text either. Square Chinese characters are really a sharp tool for the policy of obscuring the people. Not only the hard-working people have no possibility of learning and learning, but even the wealthy and powerful privileged class will spend a decade or two, and many of them will not be able to learn it in the end.Recently, the professor who promoted the benefits of ancient prose actually mistyped the sentences in ancient prose,[2] which is a proof—he himself did not understand it.But they can pretend to understand, talk nonsense, and deceive people who don't know the truth.

Therefore, Chinese characters are also a tuberculosis of the working people in China. Germs are lurking in them. If you don't get rid of them first, you will only die.Previously, some scholars[3] came up with pinyin characters to make it easier for everyone to learn, that is, easier to teach, and prolong their service life, but those characters were still very complicated, because scholars could never forget the official language. The sound, and the characters created by scholars must have the atmosphere of scholars.This time the new text is far simpler, and it is based on real life. It is easy to learn and useful. You can use it to talk to everyone, listen to everyone, understand the truth, and learn skills. This is the stuff of the working people. , the first and only way to survive.

The new characters that are currently being tested in China cannot be completely understood by southerners.Today's China cannot be unified by one language, so it must be spelled according to the languages ​​of various places, and we will try to communicate in the future.People who oppose Latinized characters often regard this as a major shortcoming, thinking that it will make Chinese characters inconsistent, but he obliterates the fact that square Chinese characters are unknown to most Chinese people, and some intellectuals do not really understand them. known facts. However, they know that the new characters are beneficial to the working people, so in places filled with white terror, the new characters must be destroyed.Now even the "popular language", which is not a new language but is closer to the spoken language, is being severely oppressed and destroyed.Although the working people in China are illiterate, the privileged class thinks they are too smart and is trying their best to numb their thinking organs, such as dropping bombs from airplanes, sending bullets with machine guns, and killing people with knives and axes. Their necks were cut off, that's all.
