Chapter 18 The second part, as soon as you come and go, you will be blown by the wind

When he got home, Lao Chen took cold and painkillers, slept with his head covered until dawn, and didn't want to get up when he woke up.Making instant noodles at noon is one of the 100 flavors of Master Kong in the supermarket. Lao Chen didn't care what flavor he ate.Afterwards, he was duped and looked up Yang Jiang's books on Joyoshu.com, but he didn't even have a bibliography. Then Lao Chen searched according to the topic, 89 June 4th, 99 Falun Gong, as expected, there is not a single indication, but even the Yan'an rectification movement, land reform, suppression of counter-revolutionaries, three anti-five anti-rightists, three-year disasters, 59 Tibet riots, the Cultural Revolution , the Xidan Democracy Wall, the April 5th Incident, 83 Crackdown, etc., these topics that could be discussed in the 1980s and 1990s, there are not many books now. This "Popular Edition Brief History of Modern China" is the official standard reading on the history of modern China in the past two years.

Old Chen thought, this person Fang Caodi is sometimes amazing. He seems to be right. There are so many bookstores and bookstores across the country, plus the book network that claims to have all books, there are thousands of titles, but none of them know Any book we can find can tell us the truth about contemporary Chinese history.It's strange how I didn't think of this sooner!During the Cultural Revolution and the early days of reform and opening up, bookstores had few titles, and people knew that the truth was blocked.Nowadays, there are so many books that people can’t read them. In fact, the truth is still blocked. It’s just that people think that they can design their own reading interests, choose freely, and read whatever they want, but forget that they have already been designed.

Then Lao Chen went online.He found that key words such as the 89 June 4th Tiananmen incident could not find anything famous, even the links to the Cultural Revolution were all scandalous, most of them were youthful nostalgia for the sunny days, and a few of the historical ones were brief and clean.No wonder young people nowadays can’t tell who the Gang of Four is, and those born in the 1980s have never heard the names of Wei Jingsheng and Liu Binyan. Because it is no longer possible for young people to know the truth about these things from books and the Internet—not to mention schools and traditional media.

Lao Chen thought of one thing, there is a serious generation gap in the knowledge of contemporary Chinese history.Some past events are common sense to people in their 50s and 60s, and they still talk about them at parties, and there are even books and periodicals at home that are no longer available, so they don’t even know about them. Realizing that they have become more and more marginalized, they have not represented the general public for a long time, their cognition has no channel to pass on to people younger than them, and the next generation is completely ignorant of the historical truth at that time.

Lao Chen thought of the false heaven and the good hell. In the good hell, people still know that they are in hell, so they want to change the hell, but after being in the false heaven for a long time, people get used to it and think they are already in heaven. If there is anything to say, Lao Chen himself is a living example.In recent years, he no longer has the appetite to read painful contemporary history, only interested in canon classics and romance.He surfs the Internet every day and often visits bookstores, but he doesn't realize that history has been rewritten and the truth has been deleted, because he doesn't pay attention anymore.It was not until he was at the Joint Publishing Store yesterday and today on the Internet that he noticed the obvious absence and blatant disappearance of the historical truth again.

Lao Chen writes fictional novels and is a storyteller. He knows that in the post-modern world of symbols, facts can be constructed and history can be interpreted in different ways. It can be argued, but Lao Chen still feels a little uneasy about telling lies with his eyes open, deleting facts with his eyes closed, distorting the truth unscrupulously, and tampering with history nakedly. But it's just a trace. If Lao Chen hadn't been a reporter back then, he probably wouldn't have felt that the facts must be taken seriously. If he hadn't done interviews with mainland cultural celebrities, he wouldn't have understood that the truth of history should be preserved.Respect for history, facts and truth is an acquired value rather than a natural value, and it may not be universally recognized.Most people don't care about the truth of history and don't insist on it.

Ordinary people can't care about it, and the price of persistence is too high. What's more, the truth is often painful. Who doesn't want to make fun of suffering? At this moment, Lao Chen wanted to relieve the burden of history.Do we need to blame ordinary people for losing their memory?Should younger generations be forced to remember the sufferings of previous generations?Are intellectuals going to roll mines and fight the state machine? Aren't ordinary people busy enough in their daily lives? Shouldn't young people look forward? Isn't it more meaningful for intellectuals to criticize less and suggest more, be more practical, and spend energy on issues that the country needs?

Isn't everyone's life much better now than before? Who still has the little bit of historical truth in ATC?And not all books of history, documentary or memoir cannot be published, on the contrary, there are many such books.Only books that do not conform to or even challenge the orthodoxy of the CCP's contemporary history will disappear. Lao Chen suddenly thought of a word: 90% freedom.Now we are very free. Ninety percent or more of the subjects can be freely discussed, and ninety percent or more of the activities are unregulated. Isn’t that enough?Most people can't even digest that 90% freedom, it's too much!Aren't they already complaining about the explosion of information and entertainment to death?

The more Lao Chen thought about it, the more he felt that he was reasonable. He had a very long list of books, all of which he wanted to read but hadn’t read yet, including Chinese studies, such as the Twenty-Four Histories, as well as classic novels, such as Russian novels in the 19th century. , it was a peak of Western novels, but because of the different reading orientations in Taiwan and mainland China, when Lao Chen's contemporaries in mainland China were reading imperial Russian novels, Lao Chen was reading contemporary American novels.As a novelist who has never read Russian novels, Lao Chen felt guilty.He has always said to himself that he will make up for it in the future.Now, old age is approaching, what are you waiting for?It is enough for Lao Chen to have these canons, and he does not need too much freedom.

What's more, in the future, if the country's conditions permit, it can be relaxed to 95%.Maybe it has reached 95% by now.That's pretty much the same as the West.There is also lack of freedom of speech and activities in the West. For example, the German government restricted the freedom of speech of Nazi supporters, and many state governments in the United States have deprived gays of the freedom to marry.The only difference is that theoretically in the West, government power is given by the people, but in China, people's freedom is given by the government.Is the difference that important?

Now even the cleaning aunt will tell Lao Chen: It is much better now than before. China is making progress, and I hope it will go on well for another ten or twenty years, and no one wants to have any more troubles. If everyone does their job well in a pragmatic manner, the country will develop steadily and people's lives will gradually improve, that will be great. Old Chen thought: It's all because of that Fang Caodi, who said that he has disappeared for a month, and all Yang Jiang's books are gone, which disturbed his thoughts. Lao Chen now has only two self-inflicted worries: he wants to write novels again, and he wants to find a belated love. He called Hu Yan, a friend from the Academy of Social Sciences. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Hu Yan now also knows that she should rest at home on weekends and not work.Now that I'm old and my children are in college, don't try too hard, her husband has been persuading her. She also knows that the project is endless.The situation now is different from that of her past. At that time, her research topics were not taken seriously, she could not find funds, and often caused trouble for her. Now she is also regarded as a leader in the discipline, and rural social and cultural research has become a prominent school. . I remember that in the early 1990s, she was doing research on the dropout of minority girls in Qiandongnan, Guizhou, and she had to rely on private donations from Taiwan and Hong Kong to carry out the project.In the mid-to-late 1990s, when she investigated the schooling of migrant workers’ children in the city, the academic circles in Beijing also looked down on such a topic, and she was resisted and suppressed by governments at all levels. It was not until the turn of the millennium that the situation became 180 degrees. Changes, new policies from the central government, and local governments want to formulate countermeasures, and they have sought advice from experts and scholars. Although many new experts and scholars who claimed to study the problem of migrant workers suddenly appeared in the academic world at that time, they would naturally find Hu Yan.Afterwards, Hu Yan was assigned to research projects on the major issues of new rural construction and farmland transfer, and received state funding that made her peers jealous. When doing fieldwork in rural areas in recent years, Hu Yan accidentally noticed a phenomenon, that is, the rapid and vigorous growth of Protestant house churches.China's Christian population, the "underground church" plus the Three-Self Patriotic Church and the Catholic Patriotic Church, the survey figure in 2008 was 50 million, and now the number in Hu Yan's heart is 100 million, and this jump happened here Between two years.To this end, Hu Yan and two friends in rural sociology co-wrote a non-public preliminary report, which was circulated among academic friends for comments.What Hu Yan is thinking about is that she has so many important national issues in hand, and she can't take care of them anymore. Is it worthwhile to spend energy on researching house churches?What's more, sociology of religion is not my professional subject. If I successfully set up a project and obtain state funding, some people will be jealous, and private gossip will be ugly. It is already a shame to say that she is an academic imperialist. You're welcome. Hu Yan has always kept herself clean and cared about herself, and never caused gossip in the academic world, so she had to think twice about whether she should take the step of studying the underground church.However, the temptation is too great.There are 100 million Christians out of 1.3 billion people, and one out of 13 people. The country has to pay attention to it.Hu Yan knows that her academic sense is actually very good. With the current situation, the underground church will soon become a hot topic in the society, and the relevant topics will immediately be upgraded to prominent studies. This will be very tempting to the scholar Hu Yan, and she has already foreseen it. Can you still hold back and not let the horse pass by?Recently, Hu Yan felt hot flashes all day long and was a little hyperactive. On Sunday evening, while her husband was cooking in the kitchen singing revolutionary songs, Hu Yan was in the study thinking about how to carry out research on the underground church.At this time, she received a call from Lao Chen, saying that she had something to ask her, and asked her if she would enter the Academy of Social Sciences tomorrow. She said that she would usually go on Thursday, but she immediately said that she could do it tomorrow if she had something to do. I made an appointment to have lunch at the Sichuan Beijing Office restaurant next to the Academy of Social Sciences. When Hu Yan went to Taiwan for the first time in the 1990s, it was with the help of Lao Chen that the Cultural University in Taiwan sent a letter to invite her. Later, the Taiwan Foundation, which funded her research on out-of-school girls, was also introduced by Lao Chen. An important step in her academic career.She is a nostalgic person and will always give Lao Chen face, although Lao Chen has nothing to do with her academic career. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The next day, Lao Chen and Fang Caodi went to see Hu Yan.Before, Lao Chen told Fang Cao that if you want to know the real situation in China, you can just ask Hu Yan. No one is closer to the bottom and grassroots than her. If she also said that she didn’t know something, it didn’t exist. Lao Chen wanted to clarify once and for all the claim that Fang Caodi disappeared for 28 days. Fang Caodi still said stubbornly: "What I remember, no matter what anyone says, I will never forget it." Another main reason why Lao Chen approached Hu Yan was to ask her what she thought about Maizi's immortality.A while ago, Lao Chen received an electronic file from Hu Yan, which was about the research on the underground Christian church in China. During the meal, Hu Yan explained what she was busy with: assisting the state in formulating management policies for agricultural cooperatives and rural financial institutions, and also conducting follow-up investigations on the social effects of farmland transfers. Old Chen quickly asked directly: "In a nutshell, is the current rural situation getting better or getting worse?" Hu Yan said: "Of course there are still problems, but generally speaking, it has entered a virtuous cycle." Old Chen felt satisfied when he came to this conclusion.Lao Chen has been to many cities in China. He knows that first-tier, second-tier and third-tier cities are very prosperous now, and even county-level cities are well established.What Lao Chen is not sure about is the countryside. He has only traveled in the suburbs of the city and has never lived in the countryside for a long time. Therefore, he asks Hu Yan every once in a while whether the situation in the countryside is getting better or worse, as if making long-distance calls to relatives and friends. Say hello, I'm relieved to know that everything is safe.Knowing that the rural situation is better than before, Lao Chen can tell himself that China is getting better and better as a whole, and he can live his good life with peace of mind.As for the detailed situation of the virtuous cycle in rural areas - let experts and scholars take care of the detailed situation. Lao Chen feels that he does not need to know too much detail. Fang Caodi asked Hu Yan abruptly: "Mr. Hu, what do you think about what happened between the world economy entering the period of ice and fire and the beginning of China's prosperity?" Hu Yan didn't seem to know what Fang Caodi was talking about. Fang Caodi: "It's the month between, to be precise, the twenty-eight days between." Hu Yan said patiently: "The headline of the People's Daily reported that the world economy has entered a period of ice and fire, and China's prosperous age has officially begun, which means that the dollar depreciated by one-third at one time, and the day when China launched a new prosperous plan to stimulate the economy was the same day. It's well known. I don't know what calculation method Mr. Fang used to calculate the twenty-eight days." Fang Caodi stopped talking, Lao Chen thought, Lao Fang, you have nothing to say this time. Lao Chen asked Hu Yan about the report she and others made on the underground Christian church in China. Hu Yan said: "We suggest that the central government must desensitize the religious issue, that is, desensitize it, don't treat it as a relationship between the enemy and us, or even a conflict among the people, but normalize it, that is, treat religion as a part of normal social life .We must learn from the wrong policy, and we cannot repeat the mistake of suppressing Falun Gong." Fang Caodi echoed and said: "You must not, you must not, it is too sinful." Hu Yan nodded. Old Chen had other thoughts and asked: "Hu Yan, what do you think about the four words Maizi is not dead?" Hu Yan said: "I am not familiar with the Christian scriptures. It seems that there is such a sentence in their Gospel that the falling wheat will not die. Probably so. Many Christians know this passage. There is a house church in Henan called Landing Wheat." . Lao Chen asked vigilantly, "Where is Henan?" Hu Yan said: "West of Henan or North of Henan, I'm going to ask another scholar who studies this area for the exact location." Old Chen said seriously: "You can ask the exact location for me, okay?" Hu Yan said: "No problem." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . After breaking up with Hu Yan, Fang Cao said: "Teacher Hu is very nice, but she is not our kind." Lao Chen said: "Fortunately, there are still many people in the world who are not your kind." Fang Cao said: "I guessed it from her expression a long time ago. She is very happy. Sure enough, she didn't even know that there was a missing month." Lao Chen persuaded Fang Caodi: "About the missing month, Lao Fang, you listen to me, forget it, don't look for it, it's useless, life is short, live a good life." Fang Caodi didn't answer, Lao Chen knew that no matter how capable he was, he couldn't change Fang Caodi.Fang Cao challenged everyone, and no one could stop him. After getting into the car, Fang Cao said: "Old Chen, do me a favor and come to Zhang Dou Miaomiao's house for a light meal." Lao Chen didn't really want to go to Fang Caodi's house, but he thought he might need his help to find Xiaoxi, and he was fine today, so he agreed. Fang Caodi got excited again, pointed to the south side of Chang'an Avenue while driving, and said: "There used to be a lot of petitioners in that area, and I went to see if there were any of our kind in this group of people. In the end, you know what happened, none of the petitioners could be found, and all the places where they lived in Nancheng were demolished. At first, I was thinking, maybe that friend of yours was also hiding there.” Lao Chen has not thought of these petitioners coming to Beijing from other places for several years, but he knows one thing, even if the petitioners are still there, Xiaoxi will not be among them, because that area is where the high court and law are located, and Xiaoxi will definitely hide Keeping it far away, I don't want to be seen by acquaintances. Fang Caodi continued to talk east and west, jumping all over the world, and Lao Chen couldn't listen to it. He thought that if he had known that Lao Fang lived so far away, he would not have come. Arriving at Huairou Miaomiao's home, Fang Caodi introduced Zhang Dou, Miaomiao and some cats and dogs to Lao Chen, and then took Lao Chen into his house.The walls of the room are covered with iron frames, filled with newspaper clippings, periodicals, and junk. In the middle is a desk, a few folding chairs, and a folding bed. Fang Caodi pointed to a pile of newspapers and magazines and said, "Old Chen, these are the evidences that I have spent two years finding all over the country, which can prove that what happened in those 28 days is not what everyone said. Same. You are a scholar, you pursue truth, goodness and beauty all your life, and fight for the truth. You must understand my painstaking efforts. Take your time and I will prepare our candlelight dinner." Old Chen stayed in the house helplessly.Miaomiao came in with a plate of chocolate chip cookies, put it on the desk for him to eat, and then went out too. Bored, old Chen picked up sugar-free cookies and put them into his mouth. He also took out a few outdated street stall publications and old local tabloids, and read them randomly. He really didn't know what historical truth Fang Caodi could see from them.Then, I also read one and a half pages of "Southern Weekend", "Southern Metropolis Daily", "China Youth Daily", and one and a half pages of "Caijing", "Nanfengchuang", and "Asia Weekly". Lao Chen recalled that he stayed in Beijing during those days, it seemed to be safe and sound, without any surprises and dangers, and there was nothing worth remembering, otherwise there should be an impression.Judging from the so-called evidence collected by Fang Caodi, some turmoil may have occurred in other places, but this is not unusual. China is such a big place, and it is not uncommon for turmoil to occur in places every day. I never look for such news. Will skip right away, so don't know.China is so big, there are so many things that I don't know about, like a blind man touching an image, who can know the whole picture?This is impossible on an epistemological level.Fang Caodi's half-clawed evidence doesn't explain anything.In fact, it seems inaccurate to say that the entire month has disappeared, but everyone has different memories of that month. Besides, you deliberately look for the bad side of things in China. It is indeed a good time, and all big countries are like this. If you think about the United States and India, aren’t they all the same?What's so strange about that?do not care!The most important thing is that at present, the world economy is in a period of ice and fire, but China's prosperity has just begun.Xiaoxi, where are you?I hope you can say goodbye to the past and come back to live a good life.If you want to live with me, we will live together. Probably because of the chocolate chip cookies, Lao Chen felt better and became more determined to find Xiaoxi. At dusk in early summer, the atmosphere of the open-air candlelight dinner is indeed pleasant.Lao Chen sat at the table, Fang Caodi cooked vegetables and filled the table with dishes, asked Lao Chen to taste first, and asked Zhang Dou to play the Spanish guitar to create an atmosphere. Not far away, Miao Miao and some cats and dogs were dancing to the music.Lao Chen tasted a few mouthfuls of the dishes, and they were really good, so he asked Fang Caodi, "Where do you cook the dishes?" Fang Cao said: "Miscellaneous vegetables. You see, Sichuan pickled peppers, Hunan tempeh, Guangdong shrimp paste, Thai lemongrass, as well as our own coriander, basil, lemon leaves, green onions, all of which are organic Yes, we use our own cats and dogs plus human manure to compost." During the meal, they chatted happily, and what surprised Lao Chen the most was that Fang Cao said why he admired Lao Chen.Old Chen thought it was his writing that conquered Fang Caodi, but it turned out that it was because he said something that Old Chen didn't even remember. In 1989, Fang Caodi was interviewed by Lao Chen, and kept talking about how good his premonition was. In 1971, when I saw the road closure around the Summer Palace, I felt something was wrong with Mao or Lin Biao. In 1972, I looked at Nathan Road from the window of Chungking Mansions in Hong Kong. Seeing someone jumping to death across the street, I had a premonition that something was going to happen in Hong Kong. Sure enough, the Hong Kong stock market fell from 1,700 points to just over 100 points soon.In the hippie commune in the United States, one day everyone beat gongs and drums to celebrate the end of the Vietnam War, but Fang Caodi saw a mirage of Vietnamese fleeing, which later came true.As he was talking, Old Chen interrupted him: "Do these premonitions make sense? Did they change anything that happened later?" Fang Cao said that Lao Chen woke up the dreamer with a word, and when he thought about it carefully, the premonition ability that made him feel different from others in his life neither affected the world nor changed his own destiny. It can be said that it has no meaning at all.From then on, Fang Caodi didn't take the premonition seriously, and he didn't put unnecessary pressure on himself. He just wanted to thank Lao Chen for his words, which shows that Lao Chen is a master. Fang Caodi told Zhang Dou: "Brother, Lao Chen's wisdom far exceeds that of you and me. We all have to listen to Lao Chen, you understand?" Old Chen was eating vigorously, and he was a little embarrassed to hear Fang Caodi say this, so he stood up involuntarily and hugged Fang Caodi. After this long dinner, Lao Chen even felt a sense of happiness. He even told Fang Caodi and Zhang Dou, two insignificant people, that he knew an insomniac national leader like He Dongsheng. Watching old movies together on the first Sunday night, He Dongsheng fell asleep while watching the movies, but usually he didn’t sleep at night, drove the car all over the street, called the secretary when he was stopped by the traffic police, and the secretary wiped his buttocks for him. After dinner, Zhang Dou played the guitar and sang with Fang Caodi, and it turned out to be Bob Dylan's "Gone with the Wind".Fang Caodi also sang with the original flavor of Xiao Bao. After the meal, he continued to drink Yan beer and eat cookies, while Zhang Dou surfed the Internet on his laptop.Fang Caodi asked Lao Chen to give instructions on how to find his friend. Old Chen said: "I'm not sure either. I only have this little note." Lao Chen took out a small note from his leather bag.Fang Caodi took a look and asked, "What do you mean?" Lao Chen said: "I guess it is the pinyin of Wheat Immortal".Fang Caodi gave the note to Zhang Dou. Fang Cao said, "Then let's go to Henan to look for it. I'll drive. Teacher Hu said that the church is in Henan, so we'll talk about it when we go there." Lao Chen said: "Don't worry, the church is called Landing Maizi, but I'm not even sure whether Xiaoxi called Maizi Immortal, let alone whether the two are related." At this time Zhang Dou said: "I found it, maizibusi".Lao Chen and Fang Caodi surrounded them. Old Chen said: "You just type in maizibusi?" Zhang Dou said: "Yes." Lao Chen only knows how to figure out maizibusi's Chinese, but he has never tried to input pinyin directly. There is only one link, which is a post on the "Maoyankanren" forum two weeks ago: "Little melon, you said you were heartbroken and would not post on domestic websites in the future. I am also heartbroken, but I understand that the articles you wrote with your heart will be deleted by the network administrators, or by those irrational (Many of them are not angry youths, but men in their 50s and 60s who become hooligans when they go online), and you always speak the facts and make sense without saying bad words. I admire your steadfastness, and also Inspired me to persevere. I am not afraid of angry youth, let alone those old hooligans. I will persist to the end. I believe that people are rational and the truth will not be obliterated forever. Goodbye, friend, we will be in the virtual world Goodbye. maizibusi." Fang Caodi asked, "Is it her?" Old Chen said: "Like!" Fang Cao said: "Look at her tone, she is the same kind." Zhang Dou said: "Looking at the tone, it is not written by young people." Fang Caodi asked Zhang Dou, "Where did you send it?" Zhang Dou said: "I don't know, I went online to find someone for help." When Lao Chen saw Xiaoxi's online comments, he was so excited that he wanted to cry, so he sat back in his seat and held back his tears. Fang Caodi handed Lao Chen a bottle of Yan beer, sat down too, and said, "Let me tell you about those twenty-eight days." He took a few deep breaths, as if warming up before a game. "I went to Macau before the Spring Festival that year. When I came back, I stayed in Zhongshan, Guangdong and waited for the holiday. Zhongshan was originally a very rich place, but Hong Kong people and Macau people stopped buying houses for vacation, and the factories stopped. Everyone said Migrant workers have to stay in the countryside this year and cannot go back to the city to work. College students have also been unable to find a job for several years. I was fired as a kitchen worker in a restaurant that eats pigeons. I don’t care, just play if you don’t work On the eighth day of the first lunar month, I saw the same headline in Nanfang Daily and all daily newspapers on the newsstand: The world economy has entered a period of ice and fire. You said how sensitive people are, and the atmosphere was very tense that day. My landlord came to me and said, you live here, Have you registered at the police station? What year is it? This is Zhongshan, Guangdong, and foreigners still need to register? She said that if she didn’t register, she wouldn’t let me live at night. When I came, they even said that the landlord would pay me to stay in the small hotel temporarily, but I couldn’t stay in the yard, and I had to hand over the door key immediately, and I said you would refund the deposit to me, and I would leave immediately.” Old Chen said, "What do you want to focus on?" Fang Cao said: "Fear, irrational fear, it has been like this for at least a week. It is said that China is going to be in chaos, and the state machine has gone to nowhere. I don’t know what the chaos will be. But I shouldn’t have left Zhongshan. Even places like Zhongshan are so tense. The further you go inland, the more you can imagine. Life and death, I still want to play around in my heart, I want to go to Jiangxi Jinggang Mountain and Longhu Mountain to see, but after passing Shaoguan to a town called Meishangya at the junction of the three provinces of Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangxi, everyone has to get off. People were not allowed to enter the town, and it was not the police that stopped us, but the temporary organization of the residents. I fled and stayed in a farmhouse, and was arrested by the police two days later. . Fang Cao said: "They found out that I was holding an American passport. I have been back to China for so many years. It's not that I don't want to be a Chinese citizen, but it is very difficult to change from an American citizen to a Chinese citizen. It is more difficult than a Chinese citizen to become an American citizen. , so I registered a trading company in Beijing, hired myself as a professional manager, and continued to renew the contract, I will have a green card for work, and I can stay in China for a long time if I go to Macau and Hong Kong by chance and then enter the country. Speaking of my arrest, at the police station in that small town, six people were interrogated, two police officers, two prosecutors, and two judges.One of the prosecutors is a very strong woman, and one of the judges is a very young and small woman.The female prosecutor said, "Looking at you, you don't look like an American. Let's listen to some English."I just read a part of the lyrics of "Gone with the Wind", and I read it very smoothly.The female inspector was very unconvinced and said, she is obviously Chinese, but she can pretend to be American if she can speak a few words of English, who is she lying to?Why do Americans hide in farmers’ homes? Why do Americans come to our place? There are no tourist attractions and no foreign investment projects. You look like a foreign spy.The man's prosecutor said: Foreign agents should be shot if they catch him.The female prosecutor looked at the young female judge and said: No problem.The young female judge said: You cannot be shot.The male prosecutor said: Why can't he be shot?The female judge said: If you catch a US spy, you should report it.Both prosecutors immediately responded that it was too much time.The male prosecutor said: Let's sentence him.The female judge said: "I cannot be sentenced."The male prosecutor said: Why can't he be sentenced?We Chinese are not happy about the old Americans sending spies here, can’t we?The female judge countered: You can be unhappy, but you can't be stupid. If you are a spy, you will report it. If you are not a spy, you will be released.The male prosecutor said: Americans cannot enjoy extraterritoriality.The female judge said: There is no question of extraterritorial rights. Chinese people owning American passports do not constitute a crime in our country. This is China's own law.The two prosecutors were very dissatisfied with what the female judge said. The female prosecutor raised her voice and said to the female judge, "Comrade, don't argue here. You know that if you do this, the efforts of the police will be wasted. Your hard work will be a waste of time." If you arrest someone, you have to let him go. This is also a waste of the time of the six members of our trial team. Not to mention, if you hinder the progress in this way, we will not be able to complete the above targets.The male prosecutor nodded in agreement with the female prosecutor, and the other two police officers and another male judge never said a word.The young female judge is awesome, she said, I don't care about it, I act in accordance with the laws of the country, if I am a spy, I will report it, and if I am not a spy, I will let him go.The female prosecutor glared at the female judge fiercely, she was about to explode with anger, the men all bowed their heads and said nothing, I was dumbfounded like watching a play, and then the female prosecutor yelled and kicked him out!Just drive me out, get my life back, and be free. " Fang Caodi said to Lao Chen: "In such a small town in China where birds do not lay eggs, there are such outstanding talents. Even if it is only for this young female judge, I cannot let the world forget that month."Lao Chen was also a little moved when he heard this, and missed Xiao Xi even more. Fang Caodi continued: "I know I can't run around here and there. I'll be killed if I don't do it next time. There is a Taoist temple near the town, and there is an old Taoist inside. Ha, he let me live in it. I will tell you about my retreat and fasting in the future. You know fasting, simply put, fasting. I can fast for fourteen days, don’t you believe? Let’s have a competition, Let's see who spends the longest time..." Lao Chen looked at the text message on his mobile phone and said: "No need, you won, and I can't afford to skip a meal.
