City’s Land | “Strategist” is a Morbid Condition

At this year’s two sessions, more and more NPC deputies discussed rural pensions.

This person said it would be raised to 800 yuan per month, but he said it would be by 2035, which is the same as not saying anything.

This person is more realistic, raising the pension for farmers over 70 to 500 yuan.

And this person hopes to raise it to 1000 yuan by 2030.

This shows that the deputies have not reached a reliable consensus at all, but as such voices increase, the possibility of raising farmers’ pensions is increasing.

This makes me

think of Teacher Peng Yuanwen’s efforts in the past two years. He wrote many articles and made many videos, calling for an increase in farmers’ pensions. Most of his articles and videos have been taken down, and several of his accounts have been blocked. In fact, what he said is not much different from what these deputies said this year. I remember he also said: “Gradually increase it to 800 yuan in the next few years.”

Everyone supports his voice, but many people believe in their hearts that this is a hopeless effort – it is really too difficult for an ordinary person to change anything.

Because of this “difficulty”, many people give up their efforts, give up their voices, and even advise others not to speak out, still in the name of love. Because, speaking out is really dangerous.

I remember Peng Yuanwen’s explanation: constantly speaking out is to prevent this topic from sinking, and even make it a topic for discussion by deputies and members. He doesn’t think there is no possibility of change.

Many people are confused and empty, feeling that what they do now is meaningless.

But when the Iranian war broke out, many people became enthusiastic again. Today, it is said that many people left messages to the Iranian embassy, teaching them how to deal with Israel and the United States – it seems that there are millions of strategists and military experts.

I admit that I have also read a lot of news about the war. I saw my friends celebrating the death of Khamenei and felt happy too.

But so far, I can’t name more than 10 Iranians – but when it comes to looking ahead to the future of Iran, I can’t say a word.

Today, for the first time, I have a little concept of this war. A teacher who shared in a bookstore and lives in Israel talked about how to distinguish between three types of air raid sirens. She said that the air raid sirens always sound at night, and she is about to develop “jet lag”.

This gives me a sense of the war. Even though it was just an online sharing, we were video chatting, and we had never met in reality, I was still worried about her safety. This is one person seeing another person.

At this time, we are all ordinary people, not “strategists”. “Strategist” is a morbid state, especially those strategists who constantly ask questions to AI.

I know that many “strategists” are actually like me, who come from rural areas, and their parents’ pensions are pitifully small, only more than 200 yuan per month, only 40 US dollars. Our “foresight” is actually difficult to reach the Strait of Hormuz.
