As soon as Mr. Bannong died, like Zhu Xianglu Yin (2), the two writers, some publications were very lively. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info How long this will last is impossible to speculate. But this death seems to have a much greater effect than those two: he is about to be canonized as a retro sage, and he can use his god lord to fight the people of the "time" (3).

This fight is powerful, because he is not only a celebrity who has done the past, but also a new party before, and fighting the new with the new is like fighting poison with poison, which is better than bringing rusty antiques. But that's where the joke lies. Why? Just for the sake of Mr. Bannong, he was first a person who was famous for his "trending time".

The reason why the ancient youth has the word Liu Bannong in his mind is not because he is good at phonology or often makes limerick poems (4), but because he jumped out of the Mandarin Butterfly School (5) and scolded Wang Jingxuan (6), as a fighter in the "literary revolution" array. However, at that time, some people ruined it as "trending the times". In the end, the times seem to be moving forward, time has passed, and this nickname has gradually been washed away, and he has climbed a little higher, and he has been a little more easy-going, so he finally became a clean celebrity. However, "people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong", and he will also become a medicine for the treatment of new "trendy" diseases. This is not the only plight of Mr. Bannong, there are old examples. There are a lot of people in Guangdong, why is Kang Youwei (7) so famous, because he is the head of the book on the bus, the protagonist of the Wuxu coup, and tends to be timely; The name of Yan Fu (8) has not disappeared yet, just before he carefully translated several ghost books, which is timely; At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Mr. Taiyan (10) was not the only one who governed Puxue (9), and his reputation, far above that of Sun Yirang (11), was actually for him to advocate racial revolution, tend to the times, and "rebel". Later, the "times" also "tended" to come, and they became living and pure sages. However, bad luck also caught the ass and followed. Kang Youwei was determined to be the ancestor of the restoration, Emperor Yuan wanted to persuade Yan Fu to advance, and Sun Chuanfang (12) also came to ask Mr. Taiyan to throw the pot. It was a good skill in pulling the cart forward, and he had big legs. The arms are also thick, this time I still ask him to pull, pull or pull, but it is to pull the cart butt backwards, and I have to use ancient Chinese here. "Woohoo, sorrow, still feasting" (13).

I am not ridiculing Mr. Bannon for "trending towards the times", but I am using here a part of the common so-called "trending": the meaning of "precursor". Although he thinks that he has "declined" (14), he has actually fought through the battle, as long as those who love him make more use of this, and do not drag him into the oil or mud he likes to make a golden sign.
