Let me ask you something, Teacher Liu. So polite. Do you agree with the saying, "When will the cycle of karma ever end?" Of course I agree. You torment them, they torment you, endlessly, and your whole life gets swallowed up. Theoretically speaking, we shouldn't retaliate against wrongs, but however, yet, recently there's a public case of settling a score that was posted online, and netizens were almost unanimously giving thumbs-up to the girl who took revenge. Ah, thumbs-up for the revenge-seeker, and the revenge-seeker is a girl. Exactly. This is the true story of the high-achieving female student who rocked the civil service exam and passed, only to crash and burn during the public notice period. Goodness. The female high achiever got reported during the civil service exam public notice period. Why is that? Because the

When it comes to national grievances and personal vendettas, the reality is sometimes quite chaotic and twisted. What does that mean? It means the line between national hatred and personal grudges is blurred, and people can't tell them apart. On October 12, a male student from mainland China, surnamed Wang, who was on an exchange program at National Taiwan University, posted a photo on Douyin using a forced perspective "pinching" gesture. What kind of photo? It was him using his thumb and index finger to make a pinching gesture toward a distant image of Republic of China President Lai Ching-te, with the caption: "Lai Ching-te is right before my eyes. Is this the only chance in your life?" and "Taking down little Lai Ching-te." I'm completely speechless. Is this unlucky kid brainwashed into a stupor by the CCP, playing these games in Taiwan too? And that's not all. He also posted a bunch of CCP united front slogans under the post, such as "cross-strait reunification" and "opposing Taiwan independence separatist activities." In order to cash in on patriotic traffic, he started looking for trouble where there was none. He truly thought he could earn a huge wave of patriotic traffic back home and have a good feast on the "patriotic meal." Did he get to eat it? He certainly didn't expect a fierce backlash that would knock his front teeth out. He got exactly what he asked for. The short video this guy posted on Douyin was quickly screenshotted by netizens and forwarded to Threads, instantly igniting the fury of Taiwanese netizens. It's no wonder they were angry; that's their president, not someone you can just pinch whenever you want. Following this, the outcry from Taiwanese netizens for him to "get out of Taiwan" flooded the screen. Netizens criticized him, saying that while enjoying Taiwan's freedom, he came over to pull such stunts against someone else's president, which already carries a sense of threat. They called to report him and make him go back to be patriotic. Exactly, stop being an offshore patriot; you're just embarrassing yourself in Taiwan, so go back. Seeing the situation escalating, the Little Pink surnamed Wang hurriedly deleted the original post and quickly issued an "apology statement." He chickened out, claiming he thought he could enjoy freedom of speech in Taiwan, and that he had absolutely no intention of causing any physical harm. Good grief, he's even trying to latch onto the phrase "freedom of speech." What you did wasn't speech, it was a threat, okay? Even if it was a threat, if he had immediately repented and apologized, that would be one thing. But no. He didn't say a single word to apologize to the Taiwanese people or the president elected by the Taiwanese people. Although he used a "leaf" of an apology statement to cover up his sophistry, the Little Pink student Wang probably thought, "Nonsense, do I dare to apologize sincerely? If I apologize sincerely, I'll be grabbed by the collar and forced to confess on CCTV when I get back. The socialist iron fist would beat me to a pulp." Did you hear that? He knows perfectly well what the CCP is. So, logically, the National Immigration Agency of Taiwan deported student Wang on October 16 and revoked his entry permit for five years in accordance with the law. The reason was that Wang's inappropriate behavior violated the principle of reciprocal dignity and caused social disturbance. How great is that? Charging into battle for General Secretary Xi Jinping, he must feel completely chilled to the bone now. Netizens said that Little Pink student Wang violated two taboos. First, in a free and democratic society, making physical threats against an elected president is an offense to the voters and the entire country; that's correct. Second, using a threatening "pinching" gesture and widely disseminating it on social media while shouting slogans—if this were in the United States, he would have already been treated as an agent of the CCP regime, and publicly inciting netizens' emotions with such obvious united front objectives. Well, he successfully changed his status from an exchange student to a "little black hand of the CCP's united front." How else can you describe someone who looks for trouble and brings it upon themselves?

Actually, this matter didn't make much of a splash inside the Great Firewall, nor did it generate much public opinion. BUT, the Chinese Communist Party was already watching Shen Pao-yang's poll numbers of the Democratic Progressive Party steadily rising, and had a bellyful of pent-up anger with nowhere to go. If they didn't take some form of retaliatory action over this, they probably would have suffocated or gone completely mad. Thus, the incident of the

The ancients said, the China Dream is a nightmare, and the harmonious society is full of hostility. I have never heard of it; the term "harmonious society" did not exist in ancient China, and not only was there no harmonious society, there were no U-locks either. What is going on? In this set of books, there are two female protagonists: one raises a U-lock against someone even weaker, and after going to prison, she feels a sense of relief; the other is cyberbullied with nowhere to seek justice, leaving behind her husband and children to jump into a river and end it all. Oh my god, what kind of harmonious society is so tragic and inhumane? Don't even mention it. On October 2, at the gate of a school in Qingbaijiang District, Chengdu, two women in their thirties got into a conflict over an electric scooter. After the assailant dropped off her child and watched them enter the school, a tricycle couldn't pass, and the two started arguing. One of them picked up a U-lock and smashed it repeatedly at the other, causing the victim to bleed from the head—it scared the hell out of me. Are people inside the Great Firewall all this road-raged now? Squeezed and exhausted by the pressures of life, they can explode at any moment; everyone is a potential murderer in waiting. This woman who committed the violence looked quite frail, yet she dealt a lethal blow to another stranger, suddenly transforming into a different person. Even after the victim had collapsed, she remained expressionless and kept smashing; if passersby hadn't pulled her away, the consequences would have been unimaginable. The consequence would certainly have been a loss of life. The key is that the two didn't even know each other; they had no past grievances or recent grudges. Just because of a few words of bickering over an electric scooter and a tricycle, they exploded. It had nothing to do with the dispute itself; it was just a matter of who was unlucky enough to be the spark at that moment. They were already potential powder kegs. The woman who did the hitting took photos and posted them on WeChat Moments afterward, calmly stating, "I'm liberated, I'm going to jail." Liberated? My god, how much pressure must a mother be under to feel that hiding in prison is the only way to catch her breath? The Party-state's "Rakshasa Sea City" harmonious society is completely beyond words, to the point that the Chengdu authorities, when issuing a police report, didn't even know what to say. They actually used half the space to warn netizens and the "unruly masses" not to spread or believe rumors. It was filled with murderous intent, and in the end, they claimed they had dealt with a man on the charge of "disturbing public order," while avoiding any mention of the root cause of the hostility. The gagging was incredibly fast.

Equally abandoning her children, the mother riding an electric scooter lifted a U-lock to commit violence, expressing relief at going to prison—how tragic. Another mother, Hu Ermei, 33, from Qingfu Town, Gaoxian County, Yibin, Sichuan, was even more miserable. She couldn't take it anymore, couldn't go on living, abandoned everything, and resolutely chose to die. What kind of situation was this? On the afternoon of Oct. 6, a customer came to Hu Ermei's street food stall, "Hu Ermei Copper Pot Potatoes," and bought 10 yuan worth of fried vegetables. The fried vegetables were a self-selection set; customers took a small basket and freely chose from over 20 kinds of vegetables, handing them to Hu Ermei to fry. Customers picked what they wanted, and Ermei processed them. Fried dishes defaulted to including potatoes. Before frying, the vendor added potatoes depending on the situation. If the customer chose many vegetables, fewer potatoes were given; if fewer vegetables were chosen, more potatoes were added, adjusting the potato amount at her discretion. At that time, the customer chose a lot of vegetables. Hu Ermei felt the vegetable quantity was sufficient and did not add more potatoes, which ended up causing the customer's dissatisfaction. Oh, just for this trivial matter, the customer subsequently posted a "shame post" on Douyin and multiple other platforms, warning others to avoid Hu Ermei Copper Pot Potatoes, claiming the proprietress couldn't afford to play and refused to add potatoes once the vegetable pile got too high. A minor commercial dispute at a roadside stall—no one expected this shame post to become the fuse that drove Hu Ermei to commit suicide. Suicide. With the fermentation of the "warning video," a large number of "netizens" flooded Hu Ermei's personal social media accounts, attacking and cursing her and her family. Some said her service attitude was bad, some said the taste was poor, and others even claimed they got diarrhea after eating at her place. True or false. The surging cyberbullying crushed Hu Ermei's body and mind. In her suicide note, she said, "My hands and feet are both numb, and my eyes are swollen from crying." How pitiful. A bad review is sent out with a single click, but explanations have to be replied to one by one. Hu Ermei constantly replied and explained in the comment section, and even communicated with the customer multiple times after closing the stall, to no avail. Slander can melt bone; constant accusations destroy a person. As her emotions collapsed, Hu Ermei's beliefs in life also dissolved into disillusionment. She said in her WeChat Moments, "Am I really that worthless? I'm even starting to doubt my life." On the evening of Oct. 9, after writing a 1,529-word suicide note, she walked out of her home. Before leaving, she didn't formally say goodbye to her 12-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son; she just calmly told her husband to put the prepared potatoes into the storage room. Then she came to the Nanjiang River, a dozen minutes' walk from her food stall, and jumped in. One minute before jumping into the river, she even took the initiative to call the police. Oh my god, Hu Ermei was unwilling to trouble others even in death; sigh, she was a kind person. Some bloggers said that Hu Ermei's suicide note circulating online was the most suffocating text they had read this year. What did it say? Hu Ermei reviewed the entire process of entering the society to work at age 16, wandering around, getting married, and having children. She had worked as a hotpot restaurant waitress and furniture store guide, moving from Chengdu to Zigong and back to her hometown Yibin. She recalled every noble person she met during her 18 years of wandering life—Couple Ma from the hotpot restaurant, the master at the furniture store, and Aunt Si at the street stall. Her delicacy and sensitivity were touching. To make a living, Hu Ermei and her husband opened a small food stall at the Fujian Night Market next to Dongsheng Avenue in Gaoxian, Yibin. The Fujian Night Market usually starts setting up around 4 PM, enters a bustling period around 6 PM, and lasts until late at night or even early morning. But Ermei's stall was often set up by noon just to earn a bit more money. For four years, Hu Ermei's bedtime was basically past 1 AM. She had to get up at 7 AM to make breakfast, send her eldest daughter to school, send her youngest son to kindergarten, and then rush non-stop to buy ingredients and set up the stall. How exhausting. Long-term operating pressure and sleep deprivation caused her to "lose hair in large handfuls." In her suicide note, Ermei calculated her final accounts: 130 yuan per tank of liquefied gas, 1,000 yuan a month for stall rent, and all kinds of seasonings going up in price. Yet she and her husband insisted on keeping over 20 varieties of fried vegetables; truly honest business people. Judging from the photos, there were indeed many vegetable varieties on Ermei's stall—konjac, cauliflower, eggplant, green beans, cowpeas, pumpkin, lotus root slices, kelp, laid out across the cutting board. Her profit margin was as thin as a razor blade, and any extra request, including a few pieces of potato, could swallow up her profit. Small-scale business is too hard to run. Hu Ermei wrote at the end of her suicide note, "Society must be like this. I thought doing things steadily would prop up my small family and accompany my two babies as they grow up. I wanted to run the small stall sincerely, but the warning video became the last straw that crushed me. Farewell, this dark world." Reviewers in the comment section who stepped on landmines, may you never step on landmines in the future. Thinking about the comment section until the very end—it's just too despairing. After the news of Hu Ermei's death spread, public sentiment online made a 180-degree turn, with a massive wave of blame shifting back to the customer who posted the warning video—what's the use when the person is already dead? That involved person posted an article to defend herself, stating she had no malice toward the vendor, expressing regret over the vendor's death, and saying that she was currently pregnant and also subjected to cyberbullying. She thus declared her right to pursue accountability, turning entirely into a victim of cyberbullying. Let me ask timidly: the Cyberspace Administration of China deletes posts and bans accounts faster than anyone else, why do they turn a blind eye to cyberbullying? Zhao Lanjian, a former Chinese independent journalist currently living in the United States, said that the CCP is playing this trick again, using some boring topics to "concentratively handle social emotions," deliberately letting minor issues escalate into trending topics, especially when human lives are lost, so that they can "throw the evil consequence onto ordinary netizens." Then the CCP plays the role of justice, stepping in to carry out so-called "striking down cyberbullying," while secretly crossing the river in stealth and going back to smile secretly. What the CCP wants is mutual hatred among society and everyone as an enemy; this way, such a sheet of scattered sand (niu ma) won't have the heart to unite to oppose the CCP. Tea drinkers in mainland China, have you suddenly seen the light?
