Hello, everyone, welcome to Qiqi Baba, I'm Qiqi. First of all, Happy Halloween to all my friends! Also, because I've been sick, um, I didn't really prepare to celebrate Halloween and just rested well at home. So, I wanted to ask everyone: did you go out to have fun? Did you see any interesting cosplay? Or did you get tons of candy? Feel free to share your spoils with me so I can vicariously experience it too.

Additionally, the whole Mbappé situation is just too hilarious. His current status inside the Great Firewall feels like he's almost taking Japan's place—it's really gotten that serious. It's mainly the Little Pinks' reactions that I find way too exaggerated.

[Video Clip] The water endorsed by Mbappé—there are still so many people buying it right now. Buying it isn't even enough; they post it online to show off, and even resell it at high prices! You guys are turning this into a business. People like you have lost your conscience. I think the state really needs to step in and manage this. Ah, it's too chaotic, way too chaotic. They should enact laws: anyone who buys products endorsed by Mbappé—I tell you, execute them directly, give them the death penalty, deprive them of political rights for life, ah, and confiscate all illegal gains and personal property. Oh, they must be ruthless. Treating these people, what kind of case are you even investigating?

To be honest, when complaining about them, I don't even know how to describe it anymore. Because I feel that even if you used every word that describes a lack of intelligence, it still wouldn't seem quite enough. Because as everyone can see, they can't even tolerate a response to a simple, tiny joke, right? The other side wasn't even very seriously criticizing Mao Zedong, or talking about what kind of dictator he was, or what kind of things he had done in the past. Yet this is actually common knowledge among everyone—no matter what criteria or weighing of facts you use to judge Mao Zedong, he is absolutely a dictator, right? So if you can't even stand someone making a joke, how dare you call yourself a major power? As a major power, do you not even have this tiny bit of open-mindedness? Friends might not even know this, but outside the Great Firewall, I saw a post by a French user. And then, a Little Pink from inside the Great Firewall circumvented the Great Firewall and replied underneath it. Do you know what they replied, my friends? They said, "Your Napoleon was a dictator. Would you feel happy if I said that?" And then this French person replied, "In that era he was indeed an emperor, so yes, he was a dictator." I... I really couldn't hold back my laughter! You know, the biggest problem actually lies in whether they are willing to admit that Mao Zedong was a dictator, right? You dare not face your own past, you dare not face real history—how can you call that confidence? So narrow-minded—the Little Pinks cultivated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) are all like this. I think it is truly rare! For the number of such people to be this huge is very rare. Because you might ask if there are many such narrow-minded people in a society, but no matter how many there are, they should still be a minority in society. But in China, they definitely make up the vast majority. So when you think about it, you feel terrified, because you live together with so many such people, and all of them cannot tolerate anyone with a different opinion—that is a truly terrifying thing. Just because someone thinks differently from you, or has a different view on something, you want to bring them down, you feel they should be eliminated—isn't that a very terrifying thing? And there is another video that was banned inside the Great Firewall, probably just because it told a few home truths.

[Video Clip · A Farmer's Daughter] Will I get shut down again? But there are some things I still must say again. It's November now, and I'm in Qingdao, Shandong Province. Right now is the harvest season for crops in our hometown. Two days ago, my mom and I worked hard for a whole morning and sold a tricycle full of scallions. We sold it for less than 40 yuan. Twelve cents a jin (0.5 kg), over 300 jin on a tricycle, and I sold it for less than 40 yuan. In this 40 yuan, I didn't even calculate the cost of labor, fertilizer, and seeds. This 40 yuan is just the price of two cups of milk tea in the city. But in my hometown, in the countryside, this is the harvest of two farmers facing the yellow dirt with their backs to the sky for a whole morning. Speaking of this, I feel terrible in my heart. If you live in the countryside and you go into the fields to look, you will find that many elderly people in their 60s, 70s, and even 80s are working in the fields. That is a very common phenomenon. Or rather, as long as you can still move, you have to go down to the fields to work. Do you think we rural people are stupid? We are not stupid. If they had a stable income and stable security, who wouldn't want to grow flowers, play with birds, dance square dances, and play cards when they get old? Who would want to drag an illness-ridden body into the fields to work in their 70s or 80s? You talk about those young people who go out to work as migrant workers—if they could earn enough at home to feed their entire family, who wouldn't want to stay by their wife and kids, enjoy the warm kang bed, and live comfortably? Farming as a family is easy, but if you want to support a whole family by farming, it's really hard. That's why most of the people working in the fields are elderly people over 60. Don't go saying that rural seniors in their 70s and 80s work in the fields because 'they can't sit idle.' What is so-called 'can't sit idle'? Isn't it just having no other choice? In fact, the lives and thoughts of most rural elderly people are very simple: as long as they can eat their fill and dress warmly, that's enough. New clothes? Only worn during the New Year or when visiting relatives. Even when air conditioning is installed at home, they only bear to turn it on when the children come back home. To save money, many elderly people never proactively get health checkups until they can't bear it anymore and have to be admitted to the hospital, so they often miss the optimal time for medical treatment. And don't even talk about traveling on vacation—don't even think about it. Hearing this, do you still think it's strange for people in their 60s and 70s in the countryside to work in the fields? Friends, when farmers farm, wanting a good harvest relies on seeds and diligence. When people live, wanting a good livelihood relies on honesty, integrity, and putting down roots. We never complain about the hardships of life or the toil of farming. Instead, I rejoice that I am a farmer's daughter, because year after year of hard labor has made me understand that life will not fail any effort. Just like every drop of sweat you spill on this land, it will bloom and bear fruit on this fertile soil in the coming year. Of course, I also firmly believe that in the future, the elderly in the countryside will surely receive better social security, and will surely achieve support in old age, meaningful work in old age, joy in old age, and care in old age. I am a farmer's daughter, my name is Li Hufu. Keep fighting!

This is also why they give farmers a pension of just over a hundred yuan a month, which is completely unreasonable, and why asking for several hundred yuan for health insurance is also unreasonable. Income and expenses are completely mismatched, my friends. People can barely afford to eat, yet you still want to collect money from them? This is also why we now see more and more elderly people picking through trash in this county or in cities within the mainland. Even elderly people living alone in rural areas have become fewer, because now they have to go pick trash just to get enough to eat; simply staying behind in the countryside is no longer an option. This is also one of the reasons why there are not many people left in China's rural areas today. Previously, there were quite a few elderly people living alone and left-behind children in the countryside because middle-aged couples went out to work as migrant workers and then left them in the villages, while regularly sending living expenses to support them. But now, middle-aged couples going out to work probably find it hard to even earn enough income to support themselves, let alone children and the elderly. So these things are all linked together, one after another. When one thing happens, it will definitely affect many subsequent things. For example, yesterday I talked about the Chinese Communist Party restricting the use of diesel, but I didn't elaborate. Uh, today let's speculate a bit further. For example, look, it's currently the harvest season. Uh, we can understand that because of the situation in the Middle East, they might choose to restrict certain things. But according to normal logic, they should at least let the harvest season get through first, right? So, I thought about it carefully, and I think the most likely reason is to make reserves for war. Because we all know that heavy equipment related to the military industry—including things like tanks and whatever else—and even logistical support cargo trucks, basically all use diesel engines. Therefore, in daily life, uh, gasoline might be more important for ordinary citizens, but in situations like war, if there is no diesel, it is truly even more painful than running out of ammunition and food. Well, I think restricting diesel use now is, firstly, because the situation over in the Middle East might lead to insufficient reserves, and secondly, because the current reserves cannot continue to be consumed like this, not even for the autumn harvest. Well, I think the reason they need to prepare a large amount of diesel might be because, um, I don't know if my friends think this is reasonable. Of course, we also have to see how long this restriction will last, right? Let's observe carefully; this is just one of the guesses.

In addition, there is this matter of the digital RMB. A netizen tried to transfer five hundred yuan from their digital RMB wallet back to their bank card, but it kept failing. When they asked customer service, there was no response at all. Then let's take a look, uh, let's look at what netizens think about this.

[Video Clip] Opinions on the digital RMB. I think the comment section has already made it very clear.

Look, if it's physical currency, confiscating and clearing it would be quite troublesome, right? It takes some time. But digital currency? That's just a matter of a split second, and you don't even have the right to resist. If you don't obey, they directly leave you penniless, unable to use a single cent and unable to withdraw a single cent. May I ask who can withstand this?
