From the little joke of the Cultural Revolution to see how the goodness of Chinese people is destroyed

At the beginning of man, nature is good. Kindness is the innate nature of every human being, and goodness is the core of universal human values. Many people lament that Chinese people nowadays are selfish, indifferent, lacking in compassion, have low trust in others, and subconsciously suspect and beware of others. Where has the goodness of the Chinese gone? The following small jokes from the Cultural Revolution show us that the standard of goodness and evil in human nature and the corruption of social morality were destroyed by the Communist Party’s campaign to “divide the class components” and the ultra-left thinking full of the “spirit of struggle”.

Do it yourself and don’t be a lord

“At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, the restaurants introduced a new rule called “revolutionary reform” – it could be called “revolutionary self-help”. This can be called “revolutionary self-help”. This self-help can be described as a complete self-help, not only to queue themselves, their own Food, and after eating the meal to brush their own dishes. The reason for this “revolutionary reform” of the restaurant is: “against the style of the lord”. The word “lord” often refers to the exploiting class, with their hands in their hands and mouths open, so the waiters began to “revolutionize the Life of the lord”, no longer providing customers with services such as serving and dishwashing, to prevent customers from being infected with the “lord style “. So what did the waiters do? Their task was to sell rice plates and supervise the customers to prevent them from stealing the dishes.

At that Time, there was a scene in the restaurant where the poor customers lined up to buy the meal plates and then lined up to get their meals. However, often there was no seat after taking the meal and they had to stand and eat. To avoid this phenomenon, most people usually took this way: after grabbing the chairs and stools first, they then carried the chairs and stools and lined up to take the meal.

Reasons for not giving up your seat

A certain gentleman was an active member of Lei Feng before the Cultural Revolution. The fact that he was named as an active member of Lei Feng means that he helped people and did a lot of good deeds, and he volunteered to help when he saw that others were in trouble. But during the Cultural Revolution, after some “battle baptism”, he told others that he had raised his “revolutionary” consciousness, that is, during the “class struggle, line struggle”. He told others that he had improved his “revolutionary” consciousness, that is, he had improved his consciousness in the “class struggle and line struggle”.

The concrete manifestation is: once, in a wobbly bus, an old lady with white hair stood next to him, swaying from side to side, gasping unevenly, but he just wouldn’t let the seat. Later someone asked him why he did not give up his seat to the old lady, only to see him say seriously: “Who knows if she is a landlord! How can I just give up my seat without knowing her origin?”

Do not help the class enemy

On a train, an old lady was trembling and had difficulty moving. She offered to ask the train attendant to pour her a glass of boiled water while she took her Medicine.

The train attendant said to her, “Go to the dining car and open the water yourself.”

The woman begged, “Comrade, please help. I’m old and the train is going fast, so it’s not easy to walk.”

“How dare you! No food for those who do not work! You deserve to die of thirst if you don’t pour boiling water yourself!” The train attendant said loudly and fiercely.

“Comrade,” the old woman said again, “I am physically ill, please help.”

“It’s easy to help you,” said the train attendant, “but if I help you wrong, I will be criticized.”

One of the passengers snickered, “You are too much, even the old lady refused to help, you are still what kind of attendant? You should learn from Lei Feng.”

“Learn from the Lei Feng?” The train attendant sneered, “Lei Feng helped a poor peasant old lady on a snowy day, this is his class fraternity. I also learn from Lei Feng, but is this old lady a poor peasant? What if she is a landlady? If I help her, I am helping the class enemy, I can’t afford to do that.

“I am a poor peasant!” The old woman said.

“In the future, if you want to take a train, first open a commune certificate, stating that you are a poor peasant, so that I can pour water for you.”

So helpful

After the establishment of the Chengdu Revolutionary Committee, in addition to adhering to the three major tasks of the Cultural Revolution, “fight, criticize, and reform”, it also advocated the citizens to carry forward the spirit of Lei Feng, asking them to “learn from Lei Feng and help people to be happy. “

In less than half a month, the entire city of Chengdu was swarming with activities to learn from Lei Feng, as reported in a headline story in the New Chengdu newspaper, summarized as follows

I. Sichuan University organized students to help clean and help people at Chengdu Railway Station.

ii. The staff of the train station also learned from Comrade Lei Feng and went to the Jinjiang Hotel to clean and help.

iii. The staff of Jinjiang Hotel, full of class fraternity, went to Wangjiang Park to clean and help.

iv. The revolutionary leadership team of Wangjiang Park organized gardeners to clean and help people in South Renmin Road.

V. South People’s Road Residents Committee also carried forward the spirit of Lei Feng and helped Sichuan University to clean and help people.

Spiritual encouragement

“Another strange phenomenon during the Cultural Revolution was that people were required to memorize a few quotations from Mao, no matter what they said or did. For example, when you went to a store to buy something, the customer would first say “grasp the revolution and promote production”, and the salesman would say back “fight against the private sector and criticize revision”. When you go to the canteen to get food, you have to say “serve the people” first, then hand over the bowl and say, “play three taels of rice”; the cook returns a sentence “the people take food as the day, eat first”, and then serve the rice.

When you meet someone you don’t know on the road, you have to speak to the phrase before you speak. Once, a man pulling a cart was climbing a slope with great difficulty, and the things he was pulling were so heavy that he was already panting and could not pull anymore. When he saw a middle-aged man coming next to him, he politely nodded to him and said, “All people in the revolutionary team should care for each other, love each other and help each other. He asked the other side to help push a car, but he did not expect the other side to recite a quotation as a reply: “to be self-reliant, hard work”, “the road is winding, the future is bright”, and then walked away leisurely, and did not help.

From the above jokes, it is easy to see how the goodness of Chinese people has been extinguished in one campaign of the CCP, and the CCP, after exterminating humanity and instilling evil into the nation, has to suffer from the social problems caused by the resulting moral decline. It is hard to describe the evil of the Chinese Communist Party.
