Recently, a video of a grandfather lighting a “scurrying monkey” to “get rid of poverty” has been circulating on the Internet. The old man will write a big “poor” paper on a scurrying monkey of bamboo sticks, expecting the scurrying monkey can take away his poverty in the new year. But the scurrying monkey did not burst, “poor” is still there, “out of poverty” failure. The old man was so anxious that he stomped his feet.
According to official media reports, on December 3, Xi Jinping announced that after eight years of continuous struggle, all rural poor people under the current standards have been lifted out of poverty, all poor counties have been removed, and nearly 100 million poor people have been lifted out of poverty.
But the people were not impressed. Netizens have 2 interpretations of this video.
The old man is saying to the authorities: you say we are “out of poverty”, look, the “poor” is not still there, can not send away.
- The grandfather expects to send the “poor” away, but expectations are just expectations, the reality makes the grandfather even more disappointed.
