Chapter 53 Annoyed the chief editor again: Bernard Shaw is extraordinary after all (Evening Post)

"You criticize the British for doing things, thinking that there is nothing so good and nothing so bad; but you can't find a single thing that the British do badly. He has a lot of doctrine in doing things. He If he wants to beat you, he advocates patriotism; The king has the doctrine of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, but he wants to cut off the king's head, and he has republicanism. His motto is responsibility; but he never forgets that a country's responsibilities and interests conflict and it will be fatal." These are the harsh words that George Bernard Shaw criticized the British in Man of Destiny.We use this example to introduce Mr. Xiao, to let readers understand the greatness of the great man, and there are secrets of his own.Such cold arrows are full of Xiao's works, embarrassing the recipients and delighting the listeners, so Mr. Xiao's famous aphorisms have been recited from family to family, and a generation of writers has confirmed his greatness.

It is a fashion among modern scholars to make a name for yourself through doctrine. Mr. Xiao has a mouth to talk about the British, but it is a pity that he has no eyes to judge himself.We know that Mr. Xiao is an advanced pan-flatist, a lifelong supporter of this progressive socialism, his dramas, novels, criticisms, and essays are filled with propaganda materials of this doctrine, and Mr. Xiao is an out-and-out loyalist to socialism. believer.However, we also know that Mr. Xiao is an expert in accumulating property and is the most powerful theorist against philanthropy. As a result, he has already become a rich man with millions of dollars in dough.Mr. Xiao sang the high-pitched words of average assets, complained for the oppressed laborers, and ridiculed the parasitic bourgeoisie, so he won the sympathy of the whole people. When a book was published, everyone rushed to buy it. So Mr. Xiao sat in an easy chair advocating communism, grinning and complacent, using the doctrine to become famous, and the trick of peddling dog meat is, after all, infinitely ingenious.

Now, Mr. Xiao has become famous and has come to our poor China to have fun.Thank you for his enthusiasm for supporting the younger generation. He told our students in Hong Kong: "If you are not a red revolutionary at the age of 20, you will become a dead stone at the age of 50; The reason why revolutionaries are only because they are afraid of becoming a dead stone and falling behind; the value of doctrine itself has little to do with the future of the individual; It is a famous saying for modern people to conduct themselves in the world. Mr. Xiao said frankly that An De does not make us fall on the ground. He is really worthy of the modern Confucius who is "the one who is also a saint".

However, Mr. Xiao, don't underestimate this big China. Why don't we have fashionable scholars like your old man?Sitting in an easy chair and firing sharp cold arrows to promote some kind of doctrine, you don't need to be taught by your husband, you have already mastered the tricks very well.I think my husband knows it, so he must smile and say: "I am not alone!" However, according to our foolish opinion, the most important quality of great personality is honesty.Whatever doctrine you believe in, you should practice it sincerely, and you shouldn’t open your mouth and sing nicely.If it is said that Mr. Xiao and his comrades really believe in communism, please ask him to dispose of his family property before speaking.But, having said that, Mr. Xiao dissipated all his family property and came to China in third class in the ragged attire of a proletarian comrade, so who would pay him any attention?Think about it this way: Mr. Xiao is extraordinary after all.
