As the U.S. midterm elections concluded, all major international media outlets shared the same headline: a blue wave swept across the United States. This midterm election created a chaotic scene where some wept, some laughed, and some were joyful while others were worried. Anything was possible, including some who handled it with ease and maintained a calm demeanor. Who was it? None other than the world's richest man featured in this series—Musk. As the largest donor to the Republican Party, even billionaire Musk was in the mood for humor. By the way, the U.S. midterm elections held on the 3rd have come to an end. The Democratic Party secured majorities in both the House and the Senate, while the Republican Party suffered a total defeat. The Washington Post stated that this was the harshest punishment voters have dealt the Republican Party since 1974. That is quite a severe lesson, provided all the ballots were legitimate. Faced with such a disastrous result, Republican supporter Musk still maintained his sense of humor. He said, it seems the space laser I used to interfere with the election this time didn't work, a sarcastic jab at his opponents who accused him of election interference. Once the election results were out, President Trump immediately congratulated the Democrats, saying he was ready to work with them. At the same time, Trump also posted a photo of a red hat with a word on it: Veto. The old man's meaning was clear: since the Democrats now control both houses of Congress, any bills they pass will not be signed or stamped by him; he will simply veto them. Wouldn't you call that a split? Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, in his victory speech, declared that relief and a changing era are coming. He said the Democratic Party's win in the Senate was key because the whole party was in step, precisely focusing on the cost of living that citizens care about most, which led to an epoch-making reshaping of the Senate's political landscape. He then forecasted that the Democrats would push with all their might to end the Iran war. This was directed at Trump's policies; in fact, Democrats are indeed more active and open in this regard. Many Democrats who oppose Trump feel this way. Now, with the Democrats controlling Congress and the Republicans in the White House, an era of confrontation and high tension is truly coming. Right now, Trump and his entire cabinet team are reflecting on how the Iran war and persistently high prices brought about a reversal, a disruptive impact, and a total upset in the election. Among the ten largest states in the U.S., Florida is the only one that maintained full Republican governance after the midterms, from the governor and attorney general to the majority seats in the state House and Senate. Florida Governor DeSantis told reporters that the Republican Party will likely need several years to regain the political control they won two years ago, and ultimately, they only have themselves to blame. Trump's supporters are also reflecting. Pro-democracy activist Tang Baiqiao was the most blunt, saying that this election was not lost due to an ideological struggle, but due to a series of policy failures. You cannot demand that everyone tighten their belts to support fighting an enemy while oil prices skyrocket, and at the same time show goodwill toward the enemy, repeatedly reaching memorandums with Iran only to have them overturned by Iran later. Tang Baiqiao said that this makes ordinary people feel like they are being played. When Trump showed goodwill toward the Iranian devil regime, I knew things would be bad. When Trump fell into the trap set by the CCP and received that great dictator with the highest honors, I knew the midterm elections were over. Teacher Tang has the potential to be a prophet. In past elections, both parties would play the anti-CCP card, but Trump voluntarily gave up this trump card, losing the watermelon to pick up a sesame seed. It must be said that although Trump did not let the CCP delegation show off too proudly or comfortably during Xi Jinping's visit to the White House, and even let Xi the Steamed Bun be well-baptized by the slogans of anti-CCP groups at the White House gate, BUT, after all, the U.S. gave the CCP leader the highest level of reception—salutes, red carpets, military bands, the President and First Lady greeting them personally, and so on. Receiving that executioner Xi Jinping, whose hands are stained with the blood of the Chinese people and even the people of the world, is indeed worth reflecting upon. Even if there is an art of the deal involved, don't forget that encircling the CCP is the trend and destiny of the free world. Going against the tide of destiny will have a price. The Steamed Bun is absolutely stained with the blood of the people of the world. Releasing the CCP virus to the whole world was personally commanded and deployed by the Steamed Bun himself. Giving the CCP face, even if only superficially, is easily subject to backlash.

Of course, some Trump supporters have proposed a different expectation. What kind of expectation? Renowned historian Victor Davis Hanson pointed out that losing control of Congress might actually be the best thing to happen to a president's political career during their term. Is this guy losing his mind? He's not losing his mind; he provided evidence. Historically, two presidents have set amazing precedents for a comeback: Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. What's the situation? During Clinton's term, his approval rating once fell to 39%, and he was subsequently impeached by Congress and lost both the House and the Senate. BUT, he bypassed congressional authorization, directly bombed Serbia for 77 days, and achieved a balanced budget; by the time he left office, his approval rating had soared to over 60%. Is that so? Obama's approval rating also once slipped to 37%, and he lost control of Congress, but with a pen and a phone, he pushed through executive orders, bypassed the Senate, reached the Iran nuclear deal and the Paris Agreement, and even launched 500 drone strikes and 26,000 airstrikes. In the end, his approval rating was still close to 60% when he left office. Give me a break, let's not even mention those old accounts of Obama; he didn't do anything good. Anyway, let's put it this way: ordinary people are not that far-sighted, nor do they want to understand what kind of grand strategy the president is playing. Their requirements are simple: if you are in power, my life should get better; otherwise, I'll try voting for someone else. Perhaps this is an important reason why many deep-red states changed their political allegiance. On Election Day, the free world fired the strongest first shot in a comprehensive reckoning with communism. President Trump signed a major executive order, officially designating November 1st to 7th each year as a national week. Trump said, we will fully guard the flame of freedom and never bow to the darkness of communism. Communism is viewed as a single entity; we cannot just guard against communist infiltration within the United States. For a loyal fan of communism like the CCP, we must take a dignified and upright stance. Speaking of this, I am reminded of an interesting piece of news. What news? A while ago, actually earlier in March, the famous Western aura master Judith made a round of predictions about the auras and political situations of several famous world leaders, including Trump and Xi Jinping. Auras? Are we talking about fantasy stuff? How were they predicted? Regarding Trump, Judith said that President Trump plays an extremely special role in the operation of providence: a catalyst, a Chief Accelerator. Regardless of whether people worship or loathe him, Trump's appearance will, with a destructive energy, force every person, every political party, and even every ally to tear off their past disguises and re-examine the true bottom line of values in their hearts. He is doing extreme pressure. He broke the complacency and decadence of the Western society that people were accustomed to, prompting forces that were originally opposed or scattered to realign amidst the agitation, completely overturning the global geopolitical balance formed since World War II. Oh my god, realigning? That is too accurate. Every person, every political party—isn't the United States realigning right now? It's even more accurate about Putin. Judith said that mainstream media often portrays Putin as an aggressive ambitionist attempting to rebuild the Russian Empire. Isn't he? Judith pierced through Putin's shell and saw a completely different and sigh-inducing energy landscape. What landscape? Putin's aura is full of heavy defensive panic. The reason he is hysterical and refuses to stop on the Ukrainian battlefield is not because he is powerful, but to protect himself. Protect himself? Ah, in the vast and cruel power struggle in Russia, Putin faces the fatal threat of assassination and internal coups at every moment. Is that so? And outside his country, he carries an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court; there is no place left for him in the world. He can only, like a trapped beast, consolidate the shrinking inch of land beneath his feet by constantly creating conflicts and suppression—a bunker. This is not the arrogance of an emperor, but self-preservation with no other choice in a dead end. Judith's description is too vivid and graphic.

Wait a minute, why do I feel a sense of sharing breath and a common destiny with Xi Jinping? Perfect, it is time to drag Xi Jinping's aura out into the sunshine. Pay close attention, tea friends, hold onto your little hearts everyone, the Steamed Bun's aura is coming. Among all the segments of Judith's interview, the most breathtaking is undoubtedly her psychological diagnosis of the CCP leader, Xi Jinping. When the topic turned to Beijing, Judith's tone became extremely heavy and affirmative: the CCP's situation is in an unprecedented and extremely unstable state, and the core source of all this turmoil lies precisely in the fact that the spiritual world of the current top ruler in Zhongnanhai, Xi Jinping, has long been out of balance. Ah, Xi Jinping's aura exhibits a severe, capricious, and morbid anxiety; he has an engraved-in-the-bones insecurity regarding the authority, leadership halo, and life-and-death safety he has painstakingly managed—he is scared. It is precisely this inner weakness that causes his policies to flip back and forth like a pancake, losing his footing and making contradictory moves, changing decrees day and night, and often not even remembering what he said himself. Isn't that shocking? Even more astonishingly, Judith categorically delivered a stern statement: within the next 10 months, the probability of Old Xi being overthrown by forces behind him or within the system is already quite high. Oh my god, is the future going to be this thrilling? Note that Judith made this prediction in March; she said ten months, with a full calculation, there are only 3 months left—oh wait, let me catch my breath first, gasp. How about this: we will continue tomorrow with more details revealed by Judith, including Old Xi's physical condition. Emergency poll: what do you guess will happen to Xi Jinping recently? The answer will be revealed tomorrow, and you can check if your choice today was correct: 1. Serve a fourth term; 2. Pass away from a serious illness; 3. Be overthrown by intra-party struggle; 4.

Focusing on livelihood issues, I stumbled upon a post yesterday. An X account, Wen Yong, shared a story about a young couple struggling to survive at the bottom of society in the current Xi Jinping era. I was filled with mixed emotions. What was said that made me feel so complicated? It went like this: The young couple renting my apartment moved out overnight. They didn't even ask for their 3,000 yuan security deposit back. Their voices were panicked on the phone, saying they had encountered some trouble and had to leave immediately. Did they get into trouble? I don't know, but they didn't even want the things in the room; they said the deposit could cover the cleaning fee. It sounded like they were running away. They really must have been in trouble. I thought the room would be a mess, but the moment I opened the door, I was stunned. Two computers, a brand-new printer, and stacks of professional design drawings were arranged as neatly as a library. What was going on? There was a pair of couple's mugs on the table, and every corner of the bedroom and the entire apartment was spotless. What was happening? It was clear that these were two young people who lived their lives seriously. Everything in the room made me feel like they had just gone downstairs for a quick meal and would be back soon. What happened? I called the young man's phone. It rang for a long time before he answered. 'Auntie, our startup failed, and we have to leave.' 'Startup failed?' 'Yes, a friend has a job opportunity in Hangzhou, and we need to get there immediately.' 'You didn't take your things, and you didn't even want the deposit. Is it really that urgent?' I asked. 'You didn't take your belongings, and you didn't ask for the deposit. If you're in a rush, I can ship them to you.' 'We met a kind person in you, Auntie,' the young man said. 'No need, Auntie. We won't be able to use those for now. The startup failed completely. We lost all the money we saved over the past few years and are 200,000 yuan in debt. We were at a dead end. Now, thankfully, there's this opportunity; our classmate called us over. The cost of shipping these things is too high, time is too tight, and we can't use them, so we couldn't sell them either. We have to leave them with you. That's how it is. Sorry for the trouble, I hope the deposit is enough to cover the labor costs for clearing these things out.' This young couple is quite decent. Is that how they planned it? I looked up and saw a graduation photo hanging on the wall. The two young people were wearing bachelor's gowns, leaning against each other, smiling very sweetly. Their faces were full of ambition and hope, and there was light in their eyes. It's so pitiful. I posted the items online, and they sold quickly. Including the rent deposit, it added up to 7,000 yuan—quite a lot. I sent the money to the young man, but he returned it. 'I don't want it.' I called him again and left a message: 'Child, please accept this gesture from your Auntie. You are going through your hardest time right now. Although it's not much money, it can help you get by. Live well in the new city, and don't let down the good girl who is struggling alongside you. Remember to come visit Auntie when you return, and treat me to a meal.' This Auntie is so tear-jerking; it's too moving. This time, the young man accepted it. After a long while, he sent a photo of the two of them. The young couple's faces looked haggard from the journey, but there was still light in their eyes. The young man left a message: 'Thank you for this kindness from a chance encounter. We will return, and we will remember that we owe you a meal.' This is truly a super heartwarming story. I even felt the courage to live for these two young people; for the sake of this Auntie's kindness, they should live on well. A netizen said, 'The most heartbreaking thing isn't that they owe 200,000 yuan, but that even though they were at a dead end, there was still light in their eyes in the photo.' After all, they weren't completely at a dead end; their classmate in Hangzhou had already called them and given them a job opportunity. That's one reason, but I think the biggest source of the light in their eyes came from the care of this landlady Auntie. When you encounter setbacks upon first entering society, it is a great stroke of luck to meet such an Auntie who warms the hearts of two young people with an uncertain future. It must be said that although the Chinese Communist Party has turned China into a jungle society where the strong prey on the weak, kind-hearted Chinese people are still everywhere. This is also where the hope and light for young people surviving in the cracks are ignited. It is indeed so.

A while ago, X account Xuerou shared a video recorded by the front desk surveillance of a small restaurant. Oh, a young man wearing a security guard vest went to the restaurant for lunch and softly asked if he could buy just a serving of rice. The owner casually replied, two yuan to-go, and immediately brought up the payment QR code. After the young man paid, he awkwardly added that his salary hadn't been paid yet and he only had those two yuan left, asking if he could eat it right here. Only two yuan left? Yeah. Moved by this, the owner wanted to cancel the payment, but seeing that the page already showed the payment was complete, he said of course you can, and turned around to tell his wife, stir-fry a dish for him. The young man was stunned, awkwardly thanking them repeatedly. After finishing his meal, the young man quietly cleaned the table until it was spotless, and before leaving, he came over to thank the waiter and the owner again and again. Goodness me, another tear-jerking grassroots daily life. Xuerou said that these two yuan bought more than just a bowl of rice; it was the young man's dignity of not wanting to beg, and also the owner's understated warmth. The value of this meal lies not in its surface price, but in the fact that it timely caught the self-esteem of someone in distress and passed kindness on to someone who knows how to cherish it. The owner didn't refund the two yuan, saying that refunding the money at that moment would feel like a form of charity, and respect was probably what the young fellow needed more. Are Chinese people all this capable of empathy, sharing the same heart? It really makes one reignite hope for life. Mostly because everyone is at the bottom of society and life isn't easy for anyone. Just as a netizen said, small restaurants actually don't make much money, the market is already bad, and food delivery platforms also snatch away most of their profits, so they empathize with others' plight. It really is like that.

Living in the era of Chief Accelerator reversing the car, young people really have it so hard, and not just young people, which means everyone in grassroots flexible employment has it hard. Hey, you said it right again. An image circulating on the X platform shows a delivery worker's electric scooter with a few lines written in large characters: Working is so tiring, but I can't cry, because wiping tears while riding an electric scooter is unsafe. Total breakdown right away. Why is the style everywhere so bitter? Netizen Furinana sighed, alas, poor Chinese working people, no freedom to shed tears, no freedom to strike, only the freedom to be exploited, and to be exploited you still need the qualification to be exploited, like having a good age and a good body. China is an aging society; many elderly people can no longer work, and before they even have a chance to be exploited, they are kicked aside by the Party to fend for themselves. Liu Zhuo said there is video evidence of this, this is the daily life of the ants in the prosperous age unique to the Party-State. An elderly person is hovering around a trash can to solve their lunch, while the background sound features the voices of the General Secretary and the Foreign Minister providing another $60 billion in support to Africa. Look over here, the voice of the state television female anchor Haixia rings in the ears once again: Wanwan, come home. Wanwan responds, who the heck are you?

It is said that Xi Jinping has confirmed he is preparing to head straight to Shenzhen on November 18th and 19th of this year to attend the APEC summit. With such a massive mobilization, it is bound to disturb the public again. That is a must. After the tense atmosphere following the Fifth Plenary Session in Beijing, Shenzhen immediately followed suit, achieving a delightful state of being on high alert across the entire city, scrubbing everything clean. The Guangdong Provincial Government has already expressed its determination, mobilizing police forces from across the province to support Shenzhen to ensure heavy troop presence on the streets and strict management and control. What a disappointment, the tanks didn't even hit the streets. According to The Paper, the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department held a provincial mobilization and deployment meeting on November 1st, presided over by Liu Guozhou, Vice Governor and Director of the Provincial Public Security Department. The meeting required that high-level duty be fully activated starting from that day, and that the main leaders and heads of key police branches of public security organs at all levels across the province must be on duty and at their posts throughout the period. At the same time, police from all over the province were to be drafted to support Shenzhen, increasing the deployment of street police. It must be done; there are always assassins trying to harm the Emperor, so if you don't deploy them, it wouldn't be appropriate. The meeting also required strengthening the control of drone no-fly zones and strictly cracking down on illegal flights, illegal assembly, and the hacking of aircraft. They are so terrified by the Beijing incident where someone crashed into the China Zun tower that they see suicide drones everywhere. So, in order to push strict management and control to the limit, Shenzhen is going all out. After copying Beijing's homework, they copied Xinjiang's homework, and they are all confused. What homework did they copy from Xinjiang? Well, the owner of a restaurant called Jiudao Geng Quan Niu Yan in Longhua District, Shenzhen, revealed in a video on October 30th that police recently visited and did something personally. What was it? They used metal chains to lock up the kitchen knives, and it wasn't just his restaurant that received this treatment; the thunderous grace of the Emperor must be shared equally, and all the knives in the restaurants in the entire community were locked up. Look at this, the four self-confidences of the CCP are truly intoxicating, achieved through police patrols, road barriers, and locking up kitchen knives. Comrade Chairman Xi stated, looking back at the five thousand years of our great Chinese history, who else but me would dare to lock up the kitchen knives of the common people? No need to thank me, this is what I should do. After all, I am dedicated to the public and will not let the people down. Hey, attention everyone, the commander-in-chief who conquered the country is coming. Another thing related to Xi the Steamed Bun disturbing the peace in Shenzhen is that fences were installed around the Shenzhen Stock Exchange building around October 31st, and the topic even hit the trending searches. What kind of mess is on the trending searches now? Sharp-eyed netizens said it's nothing new; the Shanghai Stock Exchange also installed fences around the same time, all because of the trouble with the bronze bull being covered in wreaths. A netizen @-ed the constantly falling stock investors, saying that the Party Central Committee is afraid that you stock market rabble will cause trouble. The investors figured it out: why jump off a building? Every debt has its debtor, every grievance has its source; just go out, turn left, and find the municipal government. On October 31st, a Weibo member with 160,000 followers, 'Dachuan Growth Value Investment', posted pictures and text saying that the Shenzhen Stock Exchange has installed fences, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange has also blocked all passages, worried that someone might enter carrying unknown liquids. Actually, they all understand; unknown liquids, someone wanting to perish together—it's hard to say, especially after the Fifth Plenary Session, under the suffocating atmosphere of comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, dark clouds are pressing down, and it's all bad news. More bad news, too much of it. On October 30th, the day after the closing, the A-share market fell sharply again, with the Shanghai Composite Index losing the 3,600-point mark, hitting a new closing low for the year. The investors finally understood clearly: it's better when there's no meeting; as soon as a meeting starts, it hits the limit down. Never mind what I said. The investors are all confused. They keep saying the A-share market is 'hardship builds the nation,' but it has fallen into a super disaster. When will it build the nation? They are asking soul-searching questions; no wonder the investors are singing songs to cover their tears. Women worry and cry, men worry and sing. How do they sing? 'Gently click on the familiar market trends, the green light stings my eyes, green light, look at whether the beloved stocks are still falling lonely, falling into a mess, the quantitative trading is cold and ruthless, taking away half a year of my salary, salary, let the scars of yesterday's account dry up with time, can't dry, look up to find the direction of a breakthrough, expecting a red light to shine before my eyes, red light, the good news after the market closes is instantly wiped out by overnight sentiment, the K-line is dim and bright, tempering your heart and mine, can't take it, hoping the red light can illuminate the road ahead, no longer a miserable retail investor.' The words are crude but the meaning is true, all dissolved in tears. 'Replenish your stubbornness, hold onto your positions, let me embrace your dreams.' Hey, okay, okay, stop it, still want to hold positions and add to them? Don't want your life? Even if you're eating chaff and vegetables, you have to add to your positions. The General Secretary said it clearly: the Party-state has entered a moderately prosperous society. The chaff of eating chaff and vegetables—the way you put it, setting up fences in front of the Shenzhen and Shanghai stock exchanges is really timely. If the cattle and horses are pushed too far, they might really risk their lives against the Party. The General Secretary wipes his cold sweat while weakly stating that even greater declines and the hardest days are yet to come. Exactly. The first line of the couplet: The Shanghai Stock Exchange 'hands over' (shangjiao) all your assets. The second line: The Shenzhen Stock Exchange 'deeply hands over' (shenjiao) your wealth. The horizontal scroll: Net outflow from Shenzhen and Shanghai (Shen-Hu). Hey, a win-win. Alright.
