Chapter 771: The Situation Is Not Optimistic (Part II)
The reality of the situation slapped those who advocate freedom hard and made them all hot. In Wang Guorui's court, in fact, many people also advocate freedom and democracy, but after this incident, everyone is no longer able to talk about democracy. Because they are all quite devastated, after all, many of them want to be able to promote freedom and democracy, even to the point of sacrificing their lives for this noble faith, even willing to break with their families, and then desperately for the sake of the people they see as desperately in need of salvation.
But now they feel that it is not worth it, because the freedom and democracy they have won for this purpose will be "sold" so easily by the people. Even if you take a step back and say that you really want to sell, you have to sell it for a good price! How many people shed their blood for this freedom and democracy, and then sacrificed their lives to bring the so-called freedom and democracy to the people. But how did those people treat, you sold the blood of those heroes for an egg, and sold the lives of those heroes. Could it be that those fighters who sacrificed for freedom and democracy, those people with lofty ideals who gave their lives for freedom and democracy, their lives and their blood, and their youth were frozen in their youth. Many of them may not be married, and many of them may not even have offspring, and for the sake of everyone's ideal, they can be regarded as cutting off their own children and grandchildren. Many of them didn't even touch a woman, and they died for everyone's ideals.
But these people, who have gained freedom and democracy and won votes, are not cherished so much, and they have sold all their eggs. Could it be that the lives and blood of those martyrs are worth an egg? Many people almost fainted on the spot when they saw this. There are even those who feel unworthy for the sake of those comrades who died. Because they fought for half a day, they were wasted like this.
"Smack!"
A department-level official who seemed to be a department-level official also fainted on the spot, and then was immediately pulled by the hospital for rescue. And Wang Guorui could see that this person had taken refuge from the Alliance. At that time, Wang Guorui did not kill those alliances in a hurry, and those who took the initiative to surrender could forgive them, and even took the initiative to set up a model in order to appease them. Let him be a cadre at the level of the director of this department. But now he actually found that the freedom and democracy that he desperately wanted butterflies back then was actually wasted by the people, and it was not worth an egg? This situation made him feel that the career he had devoted his life to had collapsed. This was a collapse of faith and belief, so he fainted on the spot, obviously unwilling to accept this tragic fact.
"Do you know why I'm setting up this exam? Why are you reluctant to give all the people the right to vote and to be elected? Do you know why people who have not passed the political ability test cannot participate in elections and civil service examinations? Maybe many people think that this is undemocratic and discriminates against certain people. Look down on those people. But you know what? You are really for them, can they understand you? Although some people are seizing power under the banner of freedom and democracy, I also believe that there are still many people who are sincerely spilling their blood for the sake of the people. ”
"But I want to ask you, does it make sense for you to do this? Will the people understand you? Will the people know that you are for their good? They may not be able to know! Because their level of education and their own living standards simply cannot reach the point where they can carry this responsibility. If you think about it, why many confederals or many revolutionary organizations and those who advocate reform are from landlords and merchants. At least a kulak class? That's because they have the financial means and they have the opportunity to study. There was an opportunity to learn about the revolution. And culture allows them to set up ideals and make them ambitious. They have faith, so they can give enough. If you are an ordinary farmer, you may just want to plow the field day after day and make your life go on. What liberal democracy, they simply do not have this concept. They consider the so-called liberal democracy. It's not as important as getting an egg! If one cannot even survive on his own, then what is liberal democracy? ”
"It's like if you go to a hungry person and tell him whether he wants freedom and democracy or a bite to eat, how do you think he will choose? Of course, it's not like no one chooses not to eat the food that comes to them. But. The so-called people who don't eat the food they come to have the opportunity to learn culture, and then establish their own outlook on life, worldview, and values, and they have their own beliefs. Only those who have faith can not be afraid of death. And the vast majority of people don't have this, so I'm afraid that if you say to ordinary people that you don't eat the food that comes to you, it's complete nonsense. ”
"And your so-called desire to give all the people the right to vote, which is certainly not going to work. You have also seen that if these people have the legal right to vote, they will sell their power for an egg, and even if they do, they will not be able to sell it for a good price, how sad it is! ”
Wang Guorui said again: "Let me give you an example, it is like two women, one is very beautiful, she is very fond of you, and even takes the initiative to live a poor life with you, and even takes the initiative to propose to you. And there is another woman, who is not too beautiful, but you spent a lot of effort to pursue it, but people don't like you very much, and they only follow you because they can't stand your pursuit. However, if one day there is a change, these two women must give up one and keep the other, and if it is a normal man, which one do you say he will give up? ”
After listening to this question, everyone began to think seriously about this question. A very beautiful, if it is a normal man, he will choose beautiful. What's more, she took the initiative to propose to you, and then she was willing to live with you in poverty and together. The other one is not pretty, but it takes you a lot of effort to pursue it, but people don't like you very much.
However, in the event of a change in marriage, who will be chosen in this situation? Who will this man give up and who will he save? This makes everyone think.
And Shi Maozhou first said: "Your Majesty, I think if it is an analysis, then I think that man may keep the woman who is not beautiful, but he personally pursues it." ”
"Oh? Why? Wang Guorui asked.
Shi Maozhou said: "Because many people don't cherish the things sent by others. Spend other people's money, and you won't cherish it. And this beautiful woman comes to the door to recommend a pillow by herself, and even dares to be poor, in fact, she is a very good woman in every aspect, and many people can't hope for it. And the other woman doesn't like you, but it's something you've spent a lot of money pursuing. And one is given for free, and the other is obtained by oneself. And in fact, this is the same as an item, something given to you for free, you will not feel rare and cherished. But what you paid for yourself, then you will feel cherished. ”
"That's right, things that are given away for free are not worth much, which is what many people think. What you get without giving is bound to be uncherished. Maybe we gave the people so-called democracy, but they got it out of thin air, not through their own struggle, so will they cherish it? And their education level is not enough for them to carry this power, let alone take on such an important responsibility. Power and duty are reciprocal, and when you gain power, you naturally have to pay your own obligations. You have obtained this power, so you have to think about whether you have the ability to take the responsibility behind the power? I have to say that the vast majority of ordinary people in our time do not have this ability. You tell him what democracy is, and they must feel like you're playing the harp to a cow. And they have no idea what the ballot in their hands means, what kind of obligations and responsibilities they have behind it. And when he knew that a piece of waste paper could actually get an egg, it would definitely be sold. Because he knows that eggs can be eaten, and many ordinary people can't eat eggs. They don't know the value behind the votes, so they naturally think it's better than an egg. ”
"That's why I have to take the exam, and only if I pass the exam, then it can be considered a contribution. They paid for the exam, and then they got this political right, which means that they paid it. And only if you pay, will you cherish it! If it was obtained out of thin air, and the people did not know the meaning behind this vote, then it would not be surprising that it was naturally sold for the price of an egg. ”
Wang Guorui began to think that many people in later generations did not work hard when they studied, and then they got tired of studying and skipped school, and they had no ambition to study for the rise of China in the past. And countless people wanted to study back then, but they didn't have this opportunity, but they were actually given up by these people? Isn't this a free thing that isn't worth it? In fact, compulsory education for students is a welfare given by the state and society. And it is precisely because the state gave it to them free of charge that they will not feel precious, and they will not feel the cherishment in it. I get it without paying, so I naturally don't feel the value in it, so they all become aware that reading is painful and not worth it.
In fact, this has always been the idea that free things are worthless, and the things they get for free are actually the things that their ancestors fought for and sacrificed their lives for them to have today. However, how many people still cherish it?
"If you want democracy, the situation is not optimistic!" Wang Guorui said this again. (To be continued.) )
