In 1959, the first batch of war criminals in New China were pardoned, including Puyi, Du Yuming, Wang Yaowu, Song Xilian and others, who were arranged to join the Literature and History Research Committee and participate in some major historical research work as advisers.
However, in 1966, their work was forced to stop and they were arranged to participate in a new "labor reform". In fact, it is said that it is a transformation, but also a special kind of "protection", which will not be criticized by the outside world.
In the labor team, in addition to Puyi, Du Yuming, Shen Drunk, there are many celebrities from all walks of life, such as the "drama queen" Xin Fengxia, in this small world of temporary shelter from the wind and waves, everyone chats and brags every day after work.
Once, Puyi was shopping with Du Yuming, Shen Drunk, and Xin Fengxia, when he suddenly heard the cries of an old man, only to see an old man running in front of him with a small package, and a young man behind him with a belt chasing him. People on the street blamed the young man, but no one dared to care.
Puyi was very angry and blurted out: "It's so bad! How can you beat the elderly in broad daylight! ”
The old man saw that someone was helping him speak, and quickly hid behind Puyi, and the young man pointed at Puyi and said viciously: "Don't worry about things, get out of the way!" Or fight with you! ”
Puyi was just angry for a while, but after all, he was a timid person, and when he heard that he was going to beat him, he was too scared to say much, and he quickly let go to the side.
After all, Du Yuming and Shen Drunk were from the military, with good skills and great courage, so they went up to stop the young man and said, "If you have something to say, how can you beat people?" ”
When the young man saw that the two people were popular and the accent was not local, they thought that they were big cadres, so they did not dare to beat people again.
Xin Fengxia asked the old man, "What is your relationship?" Why did he hit you? ”
The old man cried, "I did evil in my last life and raised this contrarian son." ”
The young man waved his belt and shouted, "Old bastard, still dare to talk nonsense, now let your son create Lao Tzu's rebellion!" What my mother left behind, why did you swallow it alone? Get it out for me! ”
Xin Fengxia asked again, "It turns out that you are two grandfathers and sons, what is the enmity between father and son?" Still playing Daddy on the street? ”
When the old man heard this, he cried and said, "My wife and child have just been killed by him, leaving only a few money and a little cloth jewelry, and he came to rob it again. ”
Everyone listened, and they all accused this son of filial piety, the young man did not dare to offend the anger of the crowd, so he turned his head and went home, and the old man had no place to go, so he had to follow home with a twitch.
Puyi looked at their backs and kept sighing: "Alas, I really don't know what will happen to them when they go back?" ”
Xin Fengxia said: "There is a play "No Filial Piety" in the play I sang, which says that in the old society, the son was not filial, the old man went to the official palace to file a complaint, and when the old social government heard that he was not filial, he would directly punish the contrarian son. ”
Shen Drunken smiled: "The official government is a drama, usually there are many bad things to do, and when they encounter the things of Lao Li'er, they just cover the façade." ”
At this time, Du Yuming asked Puyi, who was still looking at the back of his father and son in a daze: "Old Pu, you have been an emperor, you say, if this is put aside for a while, how to deal with this matter?" ”
Puyi was still in angry mood and blurted out: "Lao Li'er said that filial piety comes first, if I were still the emperor, I would never allow such a thing to happen!" ”
Just after saying that, Puyi suddenly remembered his identity, and was too frightened to say it again, and hurriedly said: "Now is a new society, we are all new people who have been transformed, I can't say it anymore, and I'm going to make mistakes again!" ”
When everyone listened, they all laughed.
