Chapter 40: Heaven is sick
The phone in my hand rang again, and I saw that it was the area code of 010, and recently, Mr. Chen, an advertising company in Beijing, pestered me every day and said that I wanted to buy out the daytime special advertising time of my channel. At first glance it sounded like a good thing, a big deal, but later when I heard about his offer and conditions, I felt ridiculous, and I lost interest.
But this Chen is always a good master, and he is a customer who has done a few small business orders with me, so it is not easy to offend. I listened to him hard and chatted with everyone in the group.
When some people talk about the work and business situation, there is a strong atmosphere of anxiety and negativity. I raised my arms and exclaimed, the Shenzhou-2 unmanned spacecraft has successfully reached the sky, how can these small difficulties in front of us stump our heroic Chinese sons and daughters, everyone is greatly encouraged and encourages each other.
QQ's profile picture is flashing.,Recently, she has been leaving a message asking me what the mystery I said last time?
I said, "How did you become ignorant to this extent as soon as you graduated, did you mix with foreign monkeys for a long time and became unfamiliar with Chinese, let me tell you: the mystery is - "adapt to local conditions". Remember to come back and ask me for a meal. ”
"Why is it so adaptable? I don't understand, the answers you made up don't count. ”
I still said: "Come back and invite me to a big meal, and I'll tell you the answer." ”
On the way home from a visit to a company in Heiwado at noon, I met my friend Zhuang Zhong from middle school.
The dress is still so casual, but the enthusiasm of the American dream has long since faded, and now a children's English TV show is a guest host.
I heard that he is still sharing a house with a few foreign students in Star City, so he can at least practice his speaking.
I remembered how he brought his girlfriend Butterfly, who was two years younger than him, to my house on the eve of graduating from college last year to borrow money from me to have a fetus. When asked about them, they said that they had parted early, and he said that it seemed like a distant past.
Naturally, I didn't mention the money, and I knew this when I lent it to him, he is this kind of person, and if you ask him to borrow it, as long as he has it, he will definitely give it to you, and most of them will forget that they have done this.
He has more idealism than realism, less copper, and has never paid much attention to money, which is one of the reasons why I like to be with other people.
In fact, his family background is not bad, his grandmother's relatives have all immigrated to the United States for some years, and after his young mother broke up with his father, she helped him find an "uncle" who was also young and golden.
When he was studying, whenever he ran out of money, he would always drag me to help him settle the accounts together, "No, I give a lot of money from my family a month, why is it not enough to spend?" Lu Tu, can you help me think about who borrowed my money? "I can't think of it, so I have to find someone else to continue to borrow it.
He really didn't have any concept of money before, and I liked his naivety a lot, but I don't know if he still has his true colors now.
In the afternoon, Lin Zi was sent to the Provincial People's Hospital for laser treatment of her eyes, and then sent her home, where she met her parents unprepared, and everyone was polite to each other like diplomats.
The next morning, I asked for leave to accompany her to remove the stitches, and the hospital was really crowded and lively.
Wondering why so many people are sick? Is it a physical illness or a psychological illness? Maybe it's our society that's sick.
If you are fortunate not to become a big-headed doll, then you must not play with toxic toys when you grow up.
Remember, you can't drink from a young age because you don't know which bottle has a clouding agent that will make your cock grow no more peanuts; Not to mention that there is no girl to marry and have children with you, even if you want to solve it manually, it is also a delicate job, and you need some auxiliary tools such as magnifying glasses, vernier calipers, etc.
You also don't want to eat hot pot, because you don't know which restaurants have hot pot with chili essence and Sudan dyes; Some brands of steamed buns can't be eaten at breakfast because they are all added with industrial coloring.
You can't eat the fruit, you don't know when the watermelon you bought back will explode; Which oranges have been hormones, and even pesticide residues on apples sometimes make you feel like you're killing yourself.
Remember, it's best to bring your own dishes and chopsticks when you go out, because those things that call themselves "sanitizing dishes" used to be a paradise for flies, and they are a hundred times dirtier than you think.
If you keep your mouth shut, congratulations, but you also have to avoid other schemes that may exist in your life. The quilt you cover at school may be black-hearted cotton, the foreign trade clothes you buy may contain deadly viruses, and the furniture you buy may be a killer who gasses poison every day......
In fact, every individual is very weak and isolated in such a society.
If the sky is sick, what can people do?
When you are unfortunate enough to get sick, of course you can turn to a doctor, but in this country where "medicine is used for medicine" is rare in the world, if you have a fever and cough, the doctor will say that it is pneumonia, and if you have a lump, the doctor will say that it may be cancer, and those who can get injections will never let you go home and take medicine.
Anyone who has been to the hospital several times knows that the general process of hospitals in large eastern countries is blood test, B-ultrasound, and hospitalization. You'll immediately find yourself caught in the "White Terror" and be scared to see the white angels flying over.
Do you know why people are afraid of cancer? Because cancer means "rectification", it is your family who starts to "take rectification" in the hospital together, and that small ward can give you a taste of what hell on earth is.
Who else can you turn to whenever you're stuck in this swamp? If there is another Uncle Li at this time, telling you that the wheels of France are always turning, and those who believe in me will have eternal life, and there is no need to seek medical advice, if you are not a staunch proletarian materialist, it will be easy for you to follow that thief ship.
When I came out of the hospital, it happened that the people's pharmacy opposite was opened, known as the aircraft carrier of the drug supermarket, and the door was like a market.
The spectacle of queuing up to buy medicine with a basket does not say that foreigners do not understand, and even many Chinese like me are always full of doubts.
Perhaps the mentality of being greedy for cheap is one of them, the price of drugs in hospitals is generally relatively high, and in addition, most people have a tradition of taking medicine.
In the ancient imperial era, there were alchemists who were killed, and emperors who took medicine to die. The pill has already penetrated into the core of the power struggle, and the emperors who were killed by the eunuchs do not know how many, and the harem of the Ming Dynasty created one of the "three major cases of the Ming Palace", the "Red Pill Case", is a typical representative.
And folk, there are more legends of Xu Fu who sought medicine and Ge Hong who became an immortal for alchemy. Ancient Chinese people liked to take medicine, and I thought it was the fear of death, and the desire to become immortals and live forever.
Of course, modern people also yearn for longevity and happiness. However, the "Huiren Kidney Treasure", "Yansheng Treasure Liquid", "Liuwei Dihuang Pill", and "Ant Power God" are all metaphors for some psychological fragility and physiological weakness of modern people; The "Golden Gun Does Not Pour Oil" and "Viagra" that cover the alleys are all Chinese cousins of "Viagra".
People are scrambling to be "Viagra", and there is a thick layer of desire floating in society.
People are sick, God knows if they are sick.
