1678 Andreev's Travels 2
Andreev was all too familiar with the law of sitting, which had existed for a long time in serfdom and was still prevalent in some distant regions to this day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When one person is convicted and a group of people are punished, everyone in the group is at risk, and all eyes are projected on the gaze of surveillance, and the individual's sense of security will be greatly reduced.
This was originally an ancient and backward system, and even Andreev, who grew up in Tsarist Russia, was very disgusted, and he did not expect that such a backward and barbaric system would be retained in such a rich and polite city.
The several interpreters who accompanied Andreev looked at him with disdain: "Domineering? Of course, the prime minister is domineering, but if he is not domineering, the prime minister can make Ryukyu independent? If he is not domineering, what about the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and if he is not domineering, the prime minister can defeat you Rakshasa ghosts?"
"If this kind of domineering is what you slander and abandon, then we don't look at how domineering the process is, you have to see whether the result is good or bad......
"Your doubts have been raised a long time ago, and the prime minister has also made a reasonable explanation...... The so-called education of the people is like building the branches of a tree, and it is delusional ......to want to have fun without pain?
"Any good national quality is painful until it forms an inertia, like a carriage that has been driven to the left and has generated a great inertia, and if you want him to change direction, you need to exert great strength to resist the old inertia......"
"Change is always painful, and it's impossible to make Naha the happiest place in Asia without paying a price!"
"A large part of human happiness comes from the impact of the environment...... The subtle power is powerful, most people in the world have all kinds of vices such as littering and spitting, but if you look closely, the vices actually change with the change of the environment......"
"In the back alley of the filthy tavern, people throw garbage and defecate casually, but if you put this person on the Jinluan Hall in the Forbidden City, do you think he will do the same?"
Andreev subconsciously shook his head.
Even if there is no sign on the Jinluan Hall that does not allow garbage, spitting, or open defecation, people still don't dare, this is the invisible influence of the environment on a single person!"
"Maybe you will say that the Jinluang Hall is a special example, but let me take another place for example, for example, in the hall of Lotte & Co., the marble floor is as flat as a mirror, and people will spit, throw garbage, and urinate here?"
"Even in some beautifully decorated stores, people will subconsciously control their behavior, so that their words and deeds are as close to the environment as possible, which is the process of a person's heart......"
"In the same way, throwing a person with a high degree of education into a primeval forest, into a desert steppe, into a dirty and messy slum will also have a negative impact on him, thus producing a gradual process of downward movement of the heart......"
The good translator pouted: "Can you understand such a profound principle of governing the country? Prime Minister, this is using the environment to influence people's hearts, this is an extremely clever policy for governing the country!"
Seeing Andreev's face flushed, another older interpreter waved his hand and smiled and played a round game: "Okay, okay, everything is a habit, do you think that even the sitting method is not good, in fact, when the Ryukyu Chinese have developed the habit of hygiene, the so-called sitting method is useless......"
"I have the impression that after the health bill was introduced, it seems that more than a dozen people have been punished, and the people dare not slack off when they see that the prime minister is real...... As a result, a few months and a half have passed, and loving cleanliness has actually become a habit!"
"There is a little story that is widely sung in Ryukyu about a house with a T-shaped alley right next to the courtyard wall, which is commonly known as Dingzi Alley by the locals. ”
"The side courtyard wall of this family is just at the intersection of three roads, maybe the location is more convenient, there are always some drunkards who return late and choose this secluded place to relax. You also know that what alcoholics can care about when they drink too much, they are all subconsciously looking for a secluded corner to solve the problem......"
"At first, it was just a few scattered people, but when this corner became more and more dirty, the residents found that more people came here to relieve and even threw garbage here, and what made people even more angry was that within a month, those drunkards actually developed a habit of coming here as long as they drank too much......
"It's like a vicious circle, the dirtier it is, the more attractive it is for people to throw away garbage, and then the more exciting it is for other people to subconsciously think that this is a garbage station and can do whatever they want......"
"The residents in charge of the house will definitely not do it! The courtyard wall of their own house is stinking, and this is still necessary! The men and women of the family went to watch, and whoever threw garbage here rushed up to quarrel, and there were even cases of hands......
"But who can watch twelve hours a day? This is not a prison, and when no one is watching, the drunks and unconscious neighbors still go their own way, and even wild cats and dogs think that this is a place to defecate at will, and the walls of the courtyard become more and more dirty......"
"The miserable family has no choice but to write all kinds of warning slogans on the wall, such as 'no urinating on the wall of the private courtyard, no littering' or 'those who urinate at will confiscate the tools of the crime' or even 'those who throw garbage everywhere are all dead' and other angry slogans......"
"But the doesn't work, everyone does their own thing, and as long as no one is watching, they will do whatever they want...... Mr. Andreev, how do you think such a thing should be solved?"
Andreev scratched his head, "Do you even sit down? sit up all the residents of that Dingzi Alley, and punish all the people for throwing away the garbage once? Well, it must be, your prime minister did such a brutal act!"
Hahaha...... The translator and the guard both laughed, "I knew you would say that, and we did the same at first, and the police and the community mayor joined forces to formulate a joint law, and one person committed a crime to punish the entire residents of Dingzi Lane......"
"But it's useless, the so-called joint sitting bill just curbs the situation and stops the garbage dump from expanding, and if the joint sitting law can deter the residents of Dingzi Lane, can it also deter the people in other neighborhoods?
"The side wall was clean for less than three days, and it was stained again, and it was just a little dirtier than before......
Andreev came and asked, "Is there no way to solve this problem?"
