Chapter 64 crawl and bump

Xun Ji Once upon a time, Professor Liang Shiqiu once said: The poor always want to climb, climb up, and climb to the status of the rich (2).Not only the poor, but slaves also have to climb. With the opportunity to climb, even slaves will feel that they are gods, and the world will naturally be peaceful. Although very few climbed up, everyone thought it was him.In this way, nature goes to plowing, planting, picking up dung or sitting on a bench, industrious and frugal, carrying a distressed fate, struggling with nature, climbing, climbing, climbing desperately.But there are so many people climbing, and there is only one road, which is very crowded.Honestly, according to the rules and regulations, most of them will not be able to climb up.Smart people can push, push others away, push them down, step on them, kick their shoulders and tops of their heads, and climb up.Most people still just climb, thinking that their friends are not up there, but just beside them—those who are climbing together.Most of them endure everything, with their feet and hands on the ground, step by step, pushing up and down, squeezing down and then up again, without stopping.

However, there are too many people climbing and too few climbing, and disappointment will gradually erode the hearts of good people. At least, there will be a kneeling revolution.So in addition to climbing, bumping was invented. This is knowing that you are working too hard and want to stand up from the ground, so there is a sudden cry from behind you: hit it.One by one, the numb legs were still shaking, and they bumped into each other.This is much easier than climbing, and you don't have to use force on your hands, and you don't have to move your knees. You just need to turn your body sideways, shake it, and bump into it.If it hits well, it will cost 500,000 yuan [3], and you will have a wife, wealth, son, and salary.If it doesn't hit well, at most it just stumbles and falls to the ground.So what was it—he was lying on the ground, but he could still crawl.What's more, some people are just playing around, and they are not afraid of stumbles at all.

Climbing has existed since ancient times.For example, from Tongsheng to No. 1 Scholar, from a child to Kang Baidu [4].Hitting seems to be a modern invention.In terms of textual research, I am afraid that only the ancient "Miss throwing colored balls" [5] is a bit like a way to hit people.When the lady's balls were about to be thrown down, all the men who wanted to eat swan meat raised their heads and opened their mouths, dragging their saliva for several feet... It's a pity that the ancients were so stupid that they didn't ask these men to take out the balls. Come with a few capitals, otherwise, you will definitely be able to collect tens of millions.

The fewer chances you have to climb, the more people are willing to hit you. Those people who have already climbed on it will create opportunities for you every day, asking you to spend some small capital, and promise your immortal life with both fame and fortune. .Therefore, although the chance of hitting well is much less than that of climbing, everyone is willing to try it.In this way, crawling and bumping, and crawling again if you can't hit it... Dedicate yourself to death.August sixteenth. [1] This article was originally published in "Shen Shen Free Talk" on August 23, 1933.
