Chapter 10 Section IX The Last True Thinker

All kinds of people live in the villages in the city, and all kinds of incredible scenes are staged every day.While I was waiting for Jiaoniang's reply, another strange thing happened. On the first floor of the rental house where I lived, apart from the painter, there were mutes, migrant girls, migrant workers who had just arrived in the city, extras and singing lovers with dreams, and a prostitute.The prostitute is the richest person on our floor, and the prostitute's room is also the most cozy on our floor. One day, the prostitute suddenly moved away, and a Honda car was parked at the entrance of the alley. The prostitute, with a small bag on her shoulders, spun around to the side of the Honda and got in.Since then, her figure has never appeared in the village in the city again.

A few days later, a man with a cropped cut moved in to the room where the prostitute lived.The two wrinkles on the forehead are also innate, eye-catching and thought-provoking.At that time, I thought, he must have encountered some hardships. Later, I learned that he was a thinker.He wasn't a thinker as we jokingly call some pretentious people, he was a real thinker, perhaps one of the last thinkers of our time. On the second morning after he moved in, he suddenly approached my room and asked me mysteriously, "Who lived in my room before?" I asked him cautiously, "What's wrong?"

He took out a palm-sized notebook from his pocket, unfolded it, and there were rows of crooked handwriting on it.It read: "On a certain day of a certain month, big, 500 yuan, 5 people; on a certain day, small, 350 yuan, 7 people..." Such strange records have been written for dozens of pages, and have been written since last year. Arrived a few days ago. I don't know what information these brief records convey, I looked at the thinker in confusion: "What is written on it?" Says the thinker, "This is a whore's book." I asked curiously, "How do you know?"

The thinker said: "I know the lives of prostitutes. The big ones mentioned in this book are big jobs, and the income is 100 yuan per person; small, they are small jobs, and the income is 50 yuan per person. The monthly income of a prostitute is more than 10,000 yuan...why, don't you believe it? Look, from the 5th to the 10th of each month, this prostitute only takes small jobs, or doesn't take jobs. There is no record in the book, and the rest of the time They are all big jobs. According to speculation, the prostitute's menstrual period should be from the fifth to the tenth of each month."

I continued to ask, "How do you know that 'big' means big work, and 'small' means small work?" The thinker said: "I have come into contact with many prostitutes before, and they like to record their income in this way, or they like to keep a diary like this. Some who have just walked out of school can keep a diary. This is what I found under the foam floor when I was cleaning the room just now. " A prostitute earns 10,000 yuan a month, more than ten times my monthly income. Later, the thinker told me that he had walked into the prostitute community many times, and as a volunteer, sometimes distributed condoms to the prostitutes, and sometimes persuaded the prostitutes to build up their faith.

"Chinese people have no beliefs, Chinese people need to build beliefs." This is his favorite sentence when he is with thinkers. The thinker said: "Only with faith can a person be restrained, will not do whatever he wants, will not be corrupt and pervert the law, and will have a moral bottom line and a human conscience." I said, "Can you tell me more about it?" Thinkers said: "Why do officials corrupt? Because they have no faith, they will be unscrupulous and lawless. They ignore the interests of the people and fill their pockets. Some corrupt officials can't spend dozens of lives or hundreds of lives. But they still want to be corrupt, which is really unreasonable. Why do profiteers cheat? Because they have no faith, they have no customers at all, no consumers, they only have money in their eyes, and they can do any bad things for money. Why do doctors see If you don’t die? Because they don’t have faith, if you don’t pay for hospitalization, they ignore you when your blood is dry, and if you don’t give red envelopes, they will increase your pain and cause unnecessary pain to your body. In order to get more kickbacks, they will prescribe a large number of irrelevant medicines to patients. Why are teachers so polite? Because they have no faith, they cheat in entrance examinations for money, and distribute a large number of materials to students."

The thinker went on to say: "Because they don't have faith, they don't believe in karma, so they tell all the lies, do bad things, criticize everyone, and turn a blind eye. My mission is to save this society, to save these people, To restore faith in their hearts." I asked, "What do you mean by faith?" The thinker said: "The belief I am talking about refers to the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. I want to bring the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation back to everyone's hearts." The thinker went on to say: "The traditional virtues of the Chinese nation include propriety, righteousness, honesty, respect for the old and love for the young, kindness to others, friendship with neighbors, etc. When a person knows what should be done and what cannot be done, how to do it will be noble. Yes, it would be shameless to do so, and this person has faith. This society is morally degraded, and what I have to do is to rebuild the moral system and values.

I don't know the thinker's life experience, I just feel that he is not an ordinary person, he is a real thinker, a real philosopher.He is different from some so-called scholars and professors who often speak in newspapers and on TV. He passively lets them say what they say. They have no backbone and no belief. Their existence is the sorrow of this world and is academic. sorrow. The thinker asked me what I had done, and I talked about my experience as a reporter and my unannounced interview experience.Thinkers say that these unannounced interviewees do so because they have no faith.Beggars have no faith, so they show weakness and deceive others; prostitutes have no faith, so they give up their job opportunities and are willing to prostitute; , put it in their own pockets; surrogate mothers do not have faith, so they will regard themselves as reproductive machines; will be wonderful.

I admire thinkers more and more.This folk thinker is a thousand times more noble than those so-called experts and scholars who live above the temple, and he is also a thousand times more professional than them. Since then, the thinker has embarked on the road of realizing his ideals, and he has entered schools, factories, institutions... The painter and thinker full of idealism is my best friend in the village in the city. Since then, I have never met such a pure friend.
