Siheyuan: the Leisurely Life of a Translator

Zhang Jianguo, a time traveler with superb foreign language skills, parachuted into the capital of the 1960s. He originally wanted to rely on his "high-profile" job as a translator to live a low-key and leisurely life in that era of scarce supplies. Unexpectedly, he was assigned to a courtyard with too much "human touch". Here, Jia Zhang's arrogance, Qin Huairu's calculations, Yi Zhonghai's hypocrisy, Yan Bugui's stinginess... "Animals" from all walks of life regard him as a fat sheep to be slaughtered. Want to take advantage of me? Zhang Jianguo smiled. He doesn't use a single word in a foreign language. He only relies on his meticulous logic, accurate interpretation of policies, and his aloof status from the foreign affairs department that no one can offend. Although he has strong foreign language skills, when encountering things that disgust him, Zhang Jianguo can clearly arrange them in Chinese! "Master, before we talk about dedication, let's first study the newspaper editorial about 'distribution according to work'? See if what you are saying is nonsense and falsehood!" "Qin Huairu, before we talk about the difficulties, I have a poverty subsidy application form from the street office. Can I fill it out for you? Your family's conditions are not met, right? Just pretend!" "Teacher Yan, you can settle the accounts. These are the latest water and electricity charging standards promulgated by the state. Let's check them one by one? Hey, hey, don't leave!" Wonderful dramas of battles of wits and courage were staged. Zhang Jianguo not only rose to prominence at work, but also established absolute authority in the courtyard, brought home the factory's flowers, and lived a life that everyone envied.
