In many of the cn novels there's too much Chinese glorification and well it's a rant thread. It makes me wonder if Chinese authors are idiots or what!?
Got this quote from some thread-
I want you to imagine something. Imagine this with me.
The time is not too long ago. Maybe it's the 40s, or the 60s. You are a rural farmer in China. You don't know how to read or write, you only know the Glory of China. You father farmed here, and his father before him. All for the Glory of China. You lead a simple life, with your wife and kids. You grow crops and give them to the Mayor of the town to sell them at the next town over.
Every few days everyone in the village gathers in the Mayor's house to sit before an image of a person. Everyone cries with joy and worships this image. It is the Great and Glorious Supreme Noble Leader. The leader of Glorious China! Everyone cries and exclaims with joy about how great their lives are, how great the Glory of China is. Sure your aunt died last week due to cancer, but you're just a farmer. You don't even know what cancer is. All you know is that she spent her life working for the Glory of China! How noble!
Every few months some soldiers come by. They are so glorious! For the Glory of China! When they come, all the young women of the town don't come home at night. You're not sure why. The day after, all the women are crying and in pain, but no one can be bothered to talk about why. You just look down on them. Women are filthy creatures after all. They need to always work towards the Glory of China!
Nine months after the this visit, new kids are born. How Glorious! More children to work for the Glory of China! You are so proud to be a farmer. Soon your daughter will be of marrying age and will be able to continue your humble peasant family line. Though you've noticed many of the soldiers look at her already. You are very pleased to know that your ancestors have worked for China, you work for China, and even your children and their children will work. All for the Glory of China!
Now imagine this mentality, except in the modern age. This is the mentality of the author of this story. And oh my fucking god is it hilarious and cringe-inducing. I'm only on chapter 14 and the story itself isn't actually bad. Just be prepared for an incredible amount of propaganda. Propaganda for the Glory of China!
It's like this author genuinely believes that communism is the greatest thing ever and corruption simply doesn't exist. Everything he describes in the story for how society works is exactly like the farmer. If the story keeps like this, I'm gonna keep reading it 'cause it's just too funnyClick to expand...P.S.- The quote is from @UsernameJ
