Chapter 2 The Philosophy of Panties

I rarely go into the store.Before I went to the Netherlands at the beginning of this year, I was waiting for a visa in Beijing. I had nothing to do, and occasionally went to a department store.Now all shopping malls in China rent out a large area to small traders to set up stalls.This part of the lease is the most active part of the shopping mall, with a wide variety of products and varieties.The service attitude of small vendors is more enthusiastic than that of salespersons in state-run stores, where you can still see smiling faces, and their hawking voice is very high, often attracting tourists to introduce the goods on their stalls endlessly, and Paris "flea market" The same as the Arabs in ".

A crisp and loud cry caught my attention. "Come and see! Come and buy!" The female trader was at least twenty years old, and she was still very pretty. She was holding a pair of women's briefs, and kept waving them in front of the tourists, like waving a flag. "These women's pants are not ordinary pants! Please come and see the latest medicine pants! These pants are designed to cure women's genital itching! Wearing these pants can cure women's diseases! Women have genital itching and vaginal drip Worm, you are guaranteed to be cured within three days of wearing these pants! Come and buy them! The latest invention! Our medicine pants have a patent right! The Prime Minister even wrote an inscription for our pants!..."

The prime minister actually wrote an inscription on women's panties that treat genital itching!This is something new!Her booth is full of bright and colorful women's briefs of different sizes, as well as very sexy sheer panties made of tulle that make men want to look at them.A few female customers chose in front of her booth, and sold a few in a short while. It seems that there are quite a few women suffering from genital itching. The inscription by the Prime Minister is the most powerful advertisement, which has played a considerable role in promoting... Of course, the Prime Minister will not advertise this patent, and has not inscribed this kind of underwear.But no one questioned her when she yelled like this. The security personnel of the shopping mall wandered around, as if they didn't see anything.There was a lot of noise in the shopping mall, and the sound of selling was endless. Her way of attracting customers was just one of the ways all hawkers used to attract customers.

I couldn't help laughing silently. First, in the past few years, if someone combined the "government prime minister" with a woman's briefs, he would be arrested immediately.The peddler who fabricated the Prime Minister's inscription on women's underwear will be sentenced to at least three to five years for "slandering the party and state leaders".Today, no one cares about hawkers selling their products under the guise of the prime minister.Under the impact of the tide of commodity economy, the lofty title of "Government Prime Minister" has lost its sacred and inviolable aura in people's minds!

Second, according to traditional Chinese customs, a woman's underwear cannot be seen by outsiders.In the past, women washed their underwear and panties and had to hang them in a private place.It is a shame for a woman to see a woman's underwear by a man; when a man sees a woman's panties drying on the rope, he will think that he must be "unlucky".Today, transparent women's underwear is also produced in large quantities and displayed in public for men and women to choose.The ancient Chinese taboo no longer exists! Third, even if a store sells women's underwear openly, middle-aged and elderly women must be the salespersons in the past, and they will be placed in the corner counter for women's products, because young girls and young women will never buy underwear in public.Young girls and young women will not sell women's special products in a loud voice in front of the endless stream of tourists, and these products are also related to the most secret diseases of the most secret and sensitive parts of women. the closest relationship.The line of defense between men and women, women's sense of shame, has completely collapsed in the process of pursuing modernization!

If you continue to explore, you can also get the fourth, fifth, sixth... until the deepest philosophical conclusions.In short, a young lady shouted in public to sell this kind of "drug underwear" that is exclusively for women's genital itching, which fully explained that China is changing, and indicated where it is going to change. Who says there's nothing new under the sun? This vivid scene in the shopping mall inspired me, and my next novel "The Song of Money" started with this scene.
