Chapter 45: The Realm of Sophistry (6)
Chen Fan said: "I don't want to do this either. β
Yechen said: "Of course you don't want to do this, if you kill me here, you will be ruined, and you will even take this life." β
Chen Fan said: "Since I have made this decision, I know what the consequences will be, I have come here, I don't care about this life, but Chen, what made you become like this?" Didn't we say that we would dedicate our youth and our lives to the city-state, to Oceania, to the world? β
Yechen sneered and said, "Fan, don't tell me you don't know?" β
Chen Fan was silent for a while, and said, "It's that thing, you still think about that thing, you still think about GΓΌlen." β
With a "snap", Yechen threw the water cup on the ground, shattered, and she shouted: "You don't deserve this name!" β
Chen Fan put the cup heavily on the glass coffee table and shouted without showing weakness: "How can I not deserve it!" Why do you say I'm not worthy?! Didn't we go together? β
Yechen's chest rose and fell violently, and she said, "Together?" But what did you do when you came back? A lackey of the powerful. β
Chen Fan said: "What did I do? How many charitable donations do I organize each year? Where does the money I earn every month go except for food and drink? How many poor children have I helped get out of that desperate ravine? What did I do! What did you do again? What else have you done besides killing people? β
Yechen said: "Charitable donations? It's just a tool for you to launder money. β
Chen Fan's face became very ugly, and she said: "Chen, you don't understand, the upper class has its own rules, and if you want to use their power to achieve your own goals, you must play according to their rules of the game." β
Yechen said: "So you are trapped, Chen Fan, you are a weak person, I am afraid that even you don't know this, after all, no matter from which point of view, you are a person who dares to fight and break through yourself, but as your good friend for more than ten years, I clearly know that you are a weak person, and you don't have the will to fight thoroughly......"
"Yechen, it's not everything, all problems need to be solved by struggle, we have better ways to improve our society and solve those sharp contradictions." Chen Fan interrupted Ye Chen's words and said, "Ye Chen, your mind is too dangerous, this sharp knife will not only hurt others, hurt those innocent children, but also hurt yourself. β
Yechen breathed a deep sigh of relief and said: "We have had this debate many times, I still insist on my own point of view, the ultimate goal of this society is to achieve a fair result, that is the real equality, and now for various reasons, we often choose fair opportunities, but you and I are very clear that this is wrong, completely wrong."
"A poor person's income is 10, and all these incomes can only maintain basic food and clothing, and they dare not get sick or have any accidents, because any turmoil in life will cause him to make ends meet and fall into despair, not to mention any education and self-improvement; A middle-class income of 50, they only need 25 to live a good life, the rest can be saved up as a guarantee against accidents, and more importantly, they have extra money to study and improve themselves; A rich person earns 500, don't look at them to buy all kinds of luxury goods, but in fact, these only cost a small part of their income, and the rest of the money can be invested to make money. This is the world of freedom, in the world of freedom, the class is naturally solidified, the rich will get richer and richer, and the poor will have no hope. Do you know why most of the children there drop out of school? Because the burden of life is on the shoulders of every family member, it is their most urgent need to survive and have something to eat tomorrow, and the burden on their shoulders is too heavy to make a laborer, even a child, give up working as a child in a factory and earn that insignificant wage to study. Poverty is not terrible, nor is it shameful, what is really terrible is the resulting class solidification, the resulting despair. Chen Fan, do you know, these people are not a minority, in Oceania, 70% of the population is poor. Freedom, what a nice word, there are even poets who sing the praises of 'not free, rather than die', they don't know that freedom is of no use only to the weak, it is just an excuse for the powerful to exploit them. I don't know if you've ever heard of a newspaper, but there was a story in the newspaper Inle Le signed by a man named Enmak, which said, 'In our time, the poor have freedom -- the freedom of how to die. β
"It's a bit ridiculous that in the name of freedom, the magnates wantonly kick out the factories of the workers who have squeezed the most drops of blood, because they have the freedom to choose the workers, and the workers have the freedom to choose the factories. But those powerful people did not think that when a person has nothing, he not only has the freedom to die, but also the freedom to fight, the flame has been ignited, and it will completely purify the world! At this point, Yechen's eyes glowed with a feverish light, as if a raging flame was burning.
Chen Fan couldn't help but stand up, pointed at Yechen and said, "You...... You are ......"
Yechen smiled happily and said, "Yes, I am, you people will eventually be swept into the garbage heap of history." β
Chen Fan said bitterly: "Yechen, do you know that this will ruin all this." β
Yechen said, "Yes, this fire will destroy everything, but a new world will be born in the ruins. β
Chen Fan's whole body stiffened, and she thought it was just a simple murder at first, but she didn't expect it to be ...... She picked up the revolver on the coffee table and said, "I can't let you destroy this world." β
As soon as she raised the gun, Chen Fan felt weak all over her body, and fell on the sofa in a daze, she looked at Yechen and said with difficulty: "In the juice...... Poisonous? β
Yechen glanced at Chen Fan, who was sleeping on the sofa, turned around and walked to the front of the refrigerator, pulled it open, looked at the frozen human head, and said indifferently: "Hailin, someone is here to accompany you today." β
β¦β¦
A plate of fried tenderloin was brought to Yechen, and she asked, "Is this Chen Fan's meat?" β
Chen Fan looked at Yechen's somewhat blank eyes distressedly, and said, "Yes, this is Chen Fan's meat, I will kill her, and then make something to eat for you." β
Hearing this, Yechen said happily: "Thank you." β
Chen Fan sat next to him, patiently watched Yechen finish eating a plate of meat with rice, took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, and said, "Xiao Chen, be good, I'll come to see you tomorrow, okay?" β
After eating, Yechen was like a cat basking in the sun, and said lazily: "Okay, thank you." β
Chen Fan patted her head lightly and turned to leave. Walking through a corridor, the idle chat of the nurse and nurse next to me came over:
"What a good friend, I come to see a mentally ill person every day without relatives and for no reason, and my mother can't do it."
"You don't know, there is something even more terrifying, the one named Chen must be human flesh to eat, and it is best to eat the meat of a guy named 'Chen Fan', I don't know how much enmity there is between them, even if she falls into hysteria, she can't wait to cramp and eat meat."
"By the way, isn't the girl who came to see her named Chen Fan?"
"Ahh Are you sure? She wouldn't kill that girl. β
"What do you think, her mind has been messed up for a long time, I have taken care of her for so long, she can't remember what I look like."
"That's good, that's good, if you know......"
Sitting in his car, Chen Fan turned his head to look at the plaque "Enslal Mental Rehabilitation Center", sneered softly, started the car and left.
At the same time, Yechen flushed down the things he vomited and walked out of the bathroom, a weird smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
PS: This story is not finished, but a paragraph is extracted, such as what happened when Yechen and Chen Fan went to Enmubang to teach, and how Chen Fan, who was already in a coma, managed to fight back, so that Yechen had to hide in a psychiatric rehabilitation center.
This story takes place roughly between the first and second industrial revolutions on the planet Snkay.
Again, the opinions involved in this story are all sophistry, not enough to believe, not enough to believe, not enough to say, not enough to say, not enough to say, just a joke.
