Chapter 32: Servility and Servility

In Chinese history, a slave is a servant who serves his master. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but the word slave has appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is just a title for the subordinates. And the thousands of years of official culture in China also determine the role of cultivating slaves, so the officialdom in history has all cultivated the servility of slaves. For example, in ancient times, the emperor could promote whoever he wanted, and wasn't this just as he pleased? Because of this, the common people in ancient times had to be the top officials in the final examination to decide their life. So why all the officials of the past and present have two faces is that they treat their superiors and subordinates differently. To the boss is to be subservient and to the subordinates is to be dignified? In my opinion, this is a slave with Chinese characteristics. And the success of this innate servility is mainly due to the promotion and appointment and dismissal in the officialdom, because the Chinese-style promotion and appointment and dismissal is the boss who decides the fate of his subordinates. Among these people, all those who mix well are good at pretending to be slaves, such as Zhao Gao, Cai Jing, Yan Song, He Shen, and so on. However, those who can't pretend to be slaves can only become tragic figures in history in the end, such as Yue Fei and Yuan Chonghuan, which are typical representatives of this. But after many dynasties so far, the slave has formed a special term for the subordinate to invite the favor of the superior.

The so-called slaves, and the reason why they are slaves, is that they are willing to be plundered and enslaved. There is a servility in their bones, and they will feel uncomfortable if they are not instructed for a day. Therefore, it is unrealistic to let the minions fight for their own freedom and rights for the state and themselves. Because from the moment they donate and transfer their greatest rights free of charge, they have already lost their qualifications as citizens of a country, and when there is no supervision and restraint of public power, those in power are bound to steal from themselves, abuse their power, and abuse their power for personal gain. And when the best interests have been privately divided among a few, the benefits obtained by everyone have become leftovers. Therefore, the struggle for everyone's rights is the most powerful impetus for the democratization of the country. I remember that in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the French envoy Rogers said to the Chinese emperor: "Your eunuch system is very inhumane for turning healthy people into disabilities." Before the emperor could answer, Yao Yun, the personal eunuch, grabbed his mouth and said: This is a gift from Your Majesty, and the slave is willing, how can he slander my Qing Dynasty and interfere in the internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty? This form of inviting favor is the most typical servility in China. And in the Republic of China period, even servants and maids called their employers slaves. In our real society, being an official can ascend to heaven, raise eyebrows and glorify ancestors. If there are high-ranking officials in the same clan, or there have been high-ranking officials, it will become a matter of conversation among the clansmen, and even the high-ranking officials who were said hundreds of years ago will make some people feel extremely honored, although they live a life like cattle and horses. The reunion of friends and classmates is based on the theme of official rank, and whoever has a big official rank will become the center of the party. I can only say: this society is a sick society, and the servile consciousness has penetrated into the nerve cells of the people, and there is no cure. And the official-oriented thinking has also destroyed the dignity of this nation as a human being, and it tends to be inflammatory, flattering, and willing to sell its personal dignity for the sake of a little petty profit. I remember that Hu Shi, the former president of Peking University, said: Fighting for your rights is fighting for the rights of the country, fighting for your freedom is fighting for the freedom of the country, and a free and democratic country has never been built by a bunch of slaves.
