Animal Farm (20th Century Classic)

About This Novel
"Animal Farm" won the Hugo Review Award in 1996, was selected into Time magazine's 100 Best Novels from 1923 to 1925, was listed as the best novel of the 20th century by Random House, and was listed as "The Greatest Book in the Western World" by Encyclopedia Britannica. "Animal Farm" is one of Orwell's best works. It is a profound anti-Utopia political allegory. A group of animals on the farm successfully carried out a "revolution", driving their exploitative human masters out of the farm and establishing an equal animal society. However, the animal leaders, those smart pigs, eventually usurped the fruits of the revolution and became more authoritarian and totalitarian rulers than their human counterparts.

It's hard to imagine that this book was written in 1943. The author simply predicted the development path of New China
The peaks and mountains are like clusters, the waves are like angry waves, and the mountains and rivers are like Tongguan Road inside and outside. Looking at the Western Capital, I hesitated. It is sad that wherever the Qin and Han Dynasties traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces were turned into dirt. When it prospers, the people suffer; when it dies, the people suffer.
Very funny and extremely satirical short story.
Each animal has its own role and meaning. Propaganda and lies manipulate the general public. If they lack cognition and wisdom, they will blindly obey. It reminds and warns us that we must discern the truth, filter information, have courage, and independent thoughts and actions. You can read it if you have time. Reference it.
"Another discovery: those dumb animals - such as sheep, hens, and ducks - cannot remember the Seven Commandments. After much reflection, Snowball declared that the Seven Commandments could actually be reduced to a single maxim, namely: 'Four legs good, two legs bad. "He said this sentence summed up the basic principles of animalism."
