quasi romantic talk 鲁迅 744Words 2018-03-18
Abundance Two or three months ago, there seemed to be a news item in the newspaper, saying that there was a kid who sold newspapers, stepped on the tram to get the money, and accidentally kicked the corner of a customer who got off. Pushing, the child fell under the car, and the tram just started to move, and couldn't stop for a while, and the child was run over to death. The person who pushed the child down has long since disappeared.But the corners of the clothes will be kicked, which shows that they are wearing long gowns. Even if they are not "high-class Chinese", they should belong to the upper class.

When we walk on Shanghai Road, we often meet two kinds of rampant characters who will never give way to the pedestrians on the opposite side or in front of them.One is to use both hands, but only step on your straight long feet, as if entering no one's land, if you don't get out of the way, he will step on your stomach or shoulder.These are foreigners, they are all "high class", there is no distinction between upper and lower like that of the Chinese.One is to bend his two arms, palms outward, like the two pincers of a scorpion, and push him all the way, no matter whether the person being pushed falls into a mud pond or a fire pit.This is our compatriots, but the "upper class" ones, if they take the tram, they want to take the second class converted into a third class car. Move, push again.

Get on the bus, enter the door, buy a ticket, send a letter, he pushes; go out, get off the car, avoid disaster, escape, he pushes again.Pushing women and children staggering, falling down, he would step over the living, falling to death, he would step over the dead body, step outside, lick his thick lips with his tongue, feel nothing.On the Dragon Boat Festival in the old calendar, in a theater, because of a rumor of a fire, it was pushed again, and more than a dozen teenagers who were not strong enough were trampled to death.The dead body was placed in the open space. It is said that there were more than ten thousand people who went to see it.

As a result of pushing it, he opened his mouth and said, "Ah, what a beautiful prime minister!" Living in Shanghai, it is impossible not to encounter push and step, and push and step have to be expanded.We must overthrow the young and weak among the inferior Chinese, we must trample all the inferior Chinese.At this time, only the high-ranking Chinese were left to sing their praises—"Ah, it's so good to see Bai Xianglai. For the sake of preserving culture, even if you sacrifice any material things, you shouldn't cherish them—what's the importance of these materials!" June 8th.
