Words of a Romanian surgical mask trader
Thanks to pseudo-Chief Executive Carrie Lam for helping bring the new coronavirus from Communist China into Hong Kong, Hongkongers have to scramble for not just face masks and rubbing alcohol but also necessities like rice, toilet paper, sanitary napkins, etc. Shelves in supermarkets and drugstores are often empty. I don't know how to shop online, but I have just received a friend's email which made me ponder for a while.
That friend of mine was looking for face masks on the internet. He noticed a Romanian trader declaring that he would only sell the masks to Hongkongers. Curiosity prompted him to write an email to ask why. He got the following reply:
"I have lived through the Communist regime, and I know precisely how it feels when you are looking at the empty shelves in a shop, the bitterness and worry that come with it. I still remember how we were subjected to a bunch of silly, impotent rulers, how we had to listen to their commands and follow their orders. That feeling, that experience, is hard to describe. Many episodes of the past are unbearable, rather than calling them 'memories', it is more accurate to call them 'painful struggles'. Of course, the era has changed now, still I am greatly impressed by the will of Hongkongers to fight for freedom. It is for this reason I would only sell the masks to your fellows."
In old China, the criteria for the selection of government officials were based on virtuosity or capability. Emperor Taizong of Tang, in his essay "The Golden Mirror", says: "A capable ruler longs for moral sages, just like a peasant longs for harvest; a virtuous ruler needs talents, just like dry sprouts need rain." The Communist Party selects neither the virtuous nor the capable, it selects the corrupt. This can be proven by the selection of pseudo-Chief Executives of Hong Kong. Emperor Taizong also says: "Use the corrupt, and the world descends into disaster." When the corrupts are in power, millions suffer. This can be proven by the history of Hong Kong after 1997.
