It rained heavily again during the night.Rain in Cat City seems to have no poetic stimuli.No matter how calm I was, I couldn't get rid of a feeling of restlessness.The sound of walls collapsing and houses collapsing followed one after another. The whole city was like a ship in the wind. There was no place, no moment, that was not trembling and frightened.Destruction is easy, I think, as long as it rains for a few more days.I definitely don't want this inhumane thing to come true, I'm sad and anxious for the cats.Why are they alive?How on earth are they alive?I still can't figure it out; I just think there's something utterly absurdly wrong with their history, and that people are now being punished for the sins of history, if it's not such an empty and fanciful idea.

"Great Master Siji", I remembered this word again, since I can't sleep anyway, so let's wake up and dream and play.Regardless of the meaning of this word, like many foreign words beside it, the cat people have suffered a lot from the word anyway, I think. There are many students who believe in Master Fu Siji, and I think of this sentence again.If I want to understand everything about cat country, I must first understand some political situations.I can see clearly from the history of all countries on the earth: students are always the fermenting power of political thought; students, only students have the most sensitive feelings; Limited to accepting a few novel words.If this is the case for the cat student, I have no choice but to close my eyes on the future of the cat country!It's unfair to blame the students only, I know, but I can't help but look to blame them for expecting them.I have to look at politics now.I couldn't sleep well all night, because I was eager to get up to find Xiaoxie. Although he said he didn't understand politics, he must be able to tell me some historical facts; without these facts, I can't understand the current situation, because I The days here are too light.I got up very early in order to catch the little scorpion.

"Tell me, what is Dafu Siji?" I seemed to be fascinated. "That's a kind of politicalism where everyone lives for everyone." Xiao Xie said while eating the fan leaf. "Under this political system, everyone works, everyone is happy, everyone is safe, society is a big machine, and everyone is a worker in this big machine, a small nail or a small cog working happily and safely. Not bad indeed!" "Is there a country on Mars that implements such an doctrine?" "Some have been in operation for more than two hundred years." "What about your country?"

Xiaoxie rolled her eyes, and my heart beat.After staying for a long time, he said: "We have also had trouble, we have had trouble, and we remember clearly; we have never 'practiced' any doctrine." "Why 'make trouble'?" "If the child in your family is naughty, and you hit him a few times, and I find out, I will beat my child too, not because he is naughty, but because you beat the child so I have to beat him; That's what you call trouble with housework, and it's the same with politics." "You seem to be saying that you never have your own way of thinking about your own affairs, but you always listen to the wind and rain and follow other people's opinions? You never build your own house, to use a metaphor, but the old Rent a house?" "Or it should be said that you don't need to wear pants, but you must wear them because you see others wearing them, and then, instead of tailoring them according to the size of your legs, you just buy a pair of old pants."

"Tell me some facts about the past!" I said; "even if there was a quarrel, the quarrel at least caused some changes, didn't it?" "Change is not improvement and progress." This guy Xiaoxie is really powerful!I smiled and waited for him to speak.He thought for a long time: "Where do we start?! There are more than 20 countries on Mars, and each country has its own political characteristics and reforms. Occasionally, some of us heard about the political characteristics of a certain country, so everyone started to make a fuss. Suddenly we heard that a certain country There was a political reform, and everyone hurriedly started to make trouble. As a result, their characteristics are still theirs. If their reforms are really reformed, we are still us; if you must know our characteristics, the more troublesome and worse it is ours feature."

"Tell me the truth, even if it's very unsystematic." I demanded him. "Let's talk about coaxing first." "Coax? What?" "This is not our original thing like pants. I don't know if you have this kind of thing on your earth. No, it's not a thing. It's a kind of political group organization—everyone unites to support a certain political idea and policy." "Yes, our name is a political party." "Well, it doesn't matter whether it's a political party or another name. Anyway, it's called coaxing here. You see, since ancient times, the emperor has been in charge of us, and the people are silent. Suddenly there is a news from a foreign country. Said: The people can also manage political affairs; so how can everyone think that they can’t escape this conclusion—isn’t this a booing? Besides, since ancient times, we have used cleanliness as our moral standard, and suddenly we heard that many people can form a party, or Yes, so everyone looked through ancient books and couldn't find an appropriate word; only the word coax has some meaning: Why do you come together? It's coaxing. So we started coaxing. I told you, I don't understand politics; After coaxing, politics—if you can admit that coaxing is politics—has changed a lot, and I can't go into details; I can only tell you some facts, and it will be sketchy."

"Let's talk about it, it's fine to talk about it in a rough way." I was afraid that he would stop talking. "The first political reform probably required the emperor to allow the people to participate in politics, but the emperor naturally refused, so the people who participated in the political coaxing united many soldiers to join this movement. I was appointed as an official. After coaxing people to become an official, I will naturally concentrate on being an official, and forget all about coaxing. It just so happened that some people heard that the emperor could not be dismissed at all, so everyone made a fuss again and insisted on driving the emperor away. This coaxing is called civil coaxing. The emperor also saw it and wanted to find peace of mind. He had to use the method of coaxing and coaxing. So he organized a coaxing by himself, and the coaxing members received a thousand a month from the emperor The soul of the country. The people coaxed by the civil affairs government saw it red-eyed, and immediately surrendered to the emperor, but the emperor only allowed them to give them a hundred souls of the country every month. It was almost broken, if the emperor hadn’t added 103 countries in the end Soul. These people can get free money every month and attract others’ attention, so one person coaxes one person, two people coaxes one person, ten people one person coaxes them, and there are many names to coax people.”

"Forgive me for asking, are there any real civilians in these scams?" "I'm about to tell you. How can civilians be included? They have no education, no knowledge, no brains, they are just waiting to be deceived, what? There is no way. No matter which one is coaxed, it is for the country and the people. If you get an official job, the emperor will give you money, and the emperor’s money will naturally come from the people. If you can’t get an official job, you will try your best to coax First, they deceived the people into providing money, and when the people were not deceived, they joined forces with the soldiers to brainstorm the people. The more coaxed the people, the poorer the people and the poorer the country.” I interjected again: “Is there no good people in the coaxed people? None of them really serve the country and the people?"

"Of course there is! But you have to know that good people also have to eat, and revolution also needs to fall in love. Money is needed for eating and falling in love, so the revolution is changed to trying to get money. When you get money, you have food and a wife, so you have to give money. If you are a slave, you will never be able to stand up again, and the revolution, politics, country, and people are thrown into the sky." "So, people who have a job and food don't engage in political campaigns?" I asked. "Civilians can't make a revolution because they don't understand, and they don't understand anything. Rich people, even if they are very knowledgeable, can't make revolutions because they don't dare; as long as he moves, the emperor or soldiers or coaxers will confiscate his property. He is honest. If you endure it, or donate a small official, you can still save some property, although not all of it; Soldiers with a single character can engage in politics, because they gain money when they advance, and never lose anything when they retreat. If they are coaxed, they will have food, and if they are not coaxed, they will have nothing to eat. Therefore, revolution has become a profession in our country. Therefore, so many In 2009, there were only two obvious phenomena: first, there were only changes in politics, but no reforms. In this way, the more democratic ideas developed, the poorer the people. Second, the more political strife, the more superficial the youth. Knowledge, even if you have the sincerity to save the country, and if you get power, you will stare blankly at the end of the day! Without the ability and knowledge to deal with it. In this way, the old people will be happy, and the old people also have no knowledge, but they have more bad ideas in dealing with the world than young people. There are a lot of them. The young people have no real knowledge, but want to use politics. They have to ask the old people to give them bad ideas, so the revolution manages the revolution itself, and the old foxes are really in power. The young people themselves are empty, and the old people His ideas are extremely cunning, so everyone thinks that politics is a perfunctory relationship between people. If you do it well, everything will go well, and if you do it badly, you will collapse. So now the students in the school don’t study, they just need to memorize a few new words , learn a little more bad ideas, and consider yourself a political genius."

I allowed Xiaoxie to rest for a while: "Didn't you talk about Dafu Siji?" Start with the people, start with economic issues. After several years of revolution, the emperor has never failed. When something coaxed him, the emperor declared that he fully believed in the idea of ​​the coax and was willing to be the leader of the coax; secretly If you hand over some money, you will really become the leader of this coax, so a poet once praised our emperor as the "lord of all coaxes". Only when the great master Siji came, he actually killed an emperor. The emperor Killed, the regime is really run by coax--the big man Siji coax-; a lot of people are killed, because this coax is to eradicate others, leaving only real farmers and workers. Killing people is not a strange thing, cat The country has always killed people casually. If all irrelevant people are killed, and only farmers and workers are really left behind, it may not be a solution. However, cat people are cat people after all. When they kill people, they want to make Those who were given money were not killed, and those who were pleaded were not killed, so those who should be killed were not killed, and those who should not be killed were killed. Those who should be killed were not killed, so they got into the coaxing and came up with bad ideas. It kills people every day, but it doesn’t show justice at all. Also, the Dalai Lamaism is to give everyone a proper job and enjoy equal pay. The implementation of this doctrine is first to reform the economic system, and secondly The second is to cultivate the belief that everyone lives for everyone through education. But our big boss Si Jihong's coaxers don't understand economic issues at all, and they don't know how to create a new education. People are killed, and everyone stares blankly. They plan to start with farmers and workers, but they don't know what farming is and what is work. The land is divided equally once, and everyone uses it to plant some lost trees; before the lost trees grow, everyone I have to be hungry. The workers are willing to work, but there is no work to do. They have to kill people. Everyone thinks that if only a few people are killed, things will be easy; Just go and go. This is the story of the great master Siji; just like other politicalisms from foreign countries, which are good medicines for diseases in other countries, come to us and become self-seeking. We ourselves will never We don’t think, and we never look at the problem, so we only suffer the disasters that the revolution should have, but we don’t get any benefits. Others’ revolution is to implement a new idea, a new plan; our revolution is just for coaxing, because there is no knowledge at all; because Without knowledge, it is necessary to change from dealing with things to dealing with people; because it is dealing with people, everyone forgets the noble personality that should be involved in a revolutionary cause, and they just attack each other and use the most despicable means. Therefore, the great master Siji For a few years, other than killing people, everyone just stared at them. As a result, the leader of the great master Siji became the emperor again. From the great master Siji to the emperor, it is obvious how unreliable it is, what a nightmare! But in our case Look, it's not surprising. Everyone didn't understand politics at first, and the master Siji didn't get it right, so he had to invite the emperor. Having an emperor is to save everyone from being distracted. Up to now, we still have the emperor, and the emperor is still "wan Lord of coaxing', Master Siji is also in this coaxing."

Xiaoxie shed tears!
