Comrade Lao Lang is a somewhat special person in the unit. He is disliked, humble, kind, and great. He is the friend who lives next to us... Lao Lang is almost 50 years old. He acts and talks like an "angry youth". Colleagues secretly call him "thorn head". If you come to my unit and take a walk around, you will forget all the bright and handsome literary and artistic talents such as the beautiful green girl, the graceful Yu Baobao, and the suave artist Han Gang. Only the old man who is "angry and eloquent" and criticizes society with his voice like a machine gun at every turn will make you forget even if you want to! Congratulations, everyone will answer! He--is the old man that everyone hates.

There lived a Mai Ke from northern Shaanxi in Huertai. Some people say that his arrival in Huertai was related to two women. Otherwise, after each family's wheat harvest has been completed and the head of the household has settled his account, this single man named Baokui has not returned to northern Shaanxi yet. Instead, he has rented a grocery store in Huertai and even sold things to live in. It seems that he will live in Huertai permanently. I heard that when Baokui came, the rich man in the west of Huertai Village had just married a daughter-in-law from northern Shaanxi. This daughter-in-law was so green and tender that the men in the whole village were red-eyed and the women were sore. In less than half a day, the name "Lotus" rolled hundreds of times on the tongues of all the men, women, and children in the village.

The sky is blue, and a few white clouds are as lazy as sheep, sleeping on the sky. On Yangcheng Street, pedestrians with Q-shaped braids come and go. The "Gengzi Indemnity" devastated the Qing Dynasty. The pressure of the huge indemnity forced the court to continue to impose arbitrary pretexts on the working people, and imposed arbitrary taxes. People complained privately but could do nothing. After most people scolded them, they had to do whatever they had to do. For some families with good conditions, morning tea and late night snacks were also indispensable. Although the poor peddlers and lackeys had no snacks like "phoenix feet and pig guts" to eat, a bowl and a half of salted fish porridge and dried vegetables and sweet potatoes could satisfy their hunger. This stems from the Cantonese people's open-mindedness that "there will always be things that go wrong in life, and you will be covered when the sky falls." Even so, love and hate are written on the sallow and vegetable green faces.
