It was impossible for people to be too proud of themselves. When they were at the lowest level, they were suppressed by the people in the middle level. They would definitely be very unhappy. When they finally climbed to the middle level, they were suppressed by the people in the upper level. They would still feel unhappy about being controlled by others. When they continued to work hard and reached the upper level, they would find that they were suppressed by the Emperor. Being with the Emperor was like being with a tiger. The slightest carelessness could cause them to lose their lives. When they finally became the Emperor, they suddenly found that they were alone. Everyone around them had a big estrangement with them. They wanted to get close to them, but they couldn't.
After all, a Emperor must have dignity. If they let the people around them be on equal footing with them, it would be a loss of decorum. It would cause serious consequences. Moreover, after they became the Emperor, they wanted to be superior. If they continued to be on equal footing with others, then what was the point of being the Emperor?
Perhaps this was what it meant to be lonely at the top! There was too much helplessness and heartache when standing at the bottom. Similarly, standing at the top might not be satisfactory. They might not be able to do what they liked to do to their heart's content. There would always be too many restrictions and helplessness.
Some people said that the higher a person's status, the more restrictions and restrictions they would have to endure. The more they couldn't live as they pleased. If they didn't abide by these restrictions and restrictions, then their status would quickly be lost. It was the same no matter how high their status was.
Therefore, being the Emperor wasn't necessarily a good thing. Being the Emperor would gain a lot, but also lose a lot. If they didn't adapt, it would bring a lot of trouble to them.
Many people wanted to be the Emperor because they were at the bottom. They could only see the benefits and satisfaction of being the Emperor, but they couldn't see the helplessness and pain of being the Emperor. That was why they had this idea. If they saw the restrictions and lonely state of being the Emperor, perhaps they wouldn't be so eager to be the Emperor.
Ang Lee once saw a very interesting video. At the beginning, the protagonist was a third-class person with three stripes on his forehead. Because of his low status, he had to endure everything. When he was about to eat, a high-class person with two stripes on his forehead walked over. He quickly got up and gave his food to the second-class person. When he went out, a second-class person needed his help to do manual labor, so he could only do it with an empty stomach. When he finished his work with great difficulty, he immediately met a second-class person. This made the third-class person with three stripes on his forehead very unhappy. Therefore, he quietly wiped off one of the three stripes on his forehead and turned it into a two-striped one. Thus, he entered the high-class room that only two-striped high-class people could enter.
However, after entering, he suddenly realized that this was not a place that he envied at all. There were many first-class people with one stripe on their forehead, and the reason why these two-striped people frequently entered this place was to serve and serve the first-class people. In other words, the high-class room that the protagonist who wiped off a stripe on his forehead spent a lot of effort to enter was actually a service place for second-class people to serve first-class people.
Therefore, the unwilling protagonist simply wiped off another stripe on his forehead and turned himself into a one-striped high-class person. He sat on a chair and enjoyed the service of the second-class people. This comfortable feeling didn't last long. Not long after, after the second-class people finished serving, these first-class people were all sucked into a thick pipe. Of course, this included the protagonist who wiped off two stripes on his forehead without permission. After they were sucked into the pipe, they were quickly made into slices of meat for the second-class and third-class people to eat.
After struggling for a long time, he finally reached the highest position, but in the end, he directly turned into a pile of meat. No one else could do this. It was estimated that the moment the protagonist was made into slices of meat, he must have been extremely regretful!
There was an even more interesting story about a pheasant who was struggling to make a living in the wild. Every day, it had to constantly search for food in order to survive. When the weather was cold and the snow blocked the mountain, it was almost impossible to find food, so it could only venture to the human residential area to try its luck. As a result, the hungry pheasant found that there were many domesticated chickens in the human residential area. These domesticated chickens lived in warm and comfortable chicken houses with a large amount of food provided by humans around them. If they didn't finish eating, they would be provided again. Their life was very comfortable. When they were tired, they could even lie down in a warm room to rest. This made the hungry pheasant very envious. It felt that it would be great if it could have such a life, so it saw the precious opportunity of the breeder opening the door and rushed in. From then on, it lived a stable and comfortable life and no longer had to run around looking for food.
But such a good life only lasted for a short time. When the pheasant was still enjoying life, the breeder put it and all the chickens into cages and transported them to an unfamiliar place. After entering, they found that this unfamiliar place was full of chickens that had just been slaughtered. In other words, they were about to be slaughtered and become a delicious dish on the human table.
It was not until this time that the pheasant suddenly realized what a ridiculous and stupid thing it had done. Although life in the wild was difficult, as long as it worked hard to find food, it could still find food. Moreover, the world was so vast that it could enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, every season had intoxicating beautiful scenery. Rivers, canyons, and every place had different scenery. Although life was hard, it was also full of passion and joy.
In the chicken coop raised by humans, there was really nothing but warmth and sufficient food. In such an environment, the pheasant slowly lost its previous ability to fight, and its body was fatter than when it was in the wild. When it realized that it was going to be slaughtered, it spread its wings and prepared to escape from this hell, only to find that it could no longer fly. A long and comfortable life not only made it fatter, but also made its wings weak, so it could not fly at all. As a result, what awaited it was naturally the fate of being slaughtered.
Ang Lee explained why he could not give the telephone to Tang Er's classmate and briefly explained his reasons. Maybe Tang Er did not understand what Ang Lee meant, but this fact would not change. Ang Lee would never give such a cutting-edge thing to a poor family. This was not a good match and would bring a lot of unexpected trouble to the poor family. In order not to cause trouble to the poor family, he could only refuse the request of Tang Er.
Seeing that her proposal was rejected, Tang Er seemed a little unhappy and kept pouting.
"Good Tang Er, you only have a few days of rest in a month. You can't stand not being with your classmates for a few days?"
Ang Lee said with a smile.
"Father, when I'm not at school, can you invite my classmates to my house to play?"
Tang Er asked.
Since Ang Lee refused to install a telephone in his classmate's house, Tang Er could only ask for the next best thing, which was to bring his classmates home so that they could play with them.
In fact, there were also people at home who could play with him. For example, the children of the servants, who were the same age as Tang Er, could also play with him. However, such people were too few. In addition, there were only a few people at home who were the same age as Tang Er, so there might not be anyone who was suitable for Tang Er. However, there were many classmates in the school. After getting familiar with them, perhaps Tang Er found that these people were more interesting than the servants at home, so he wanted to bring a few of them home to play with him.
Ang Lee thought for a moment and felt that it was not impossible as long as his Tang Er was happy. However, the children in the school lived nearby, and Ang Lee lived far away from the school. It seemed a little inappropriate to let these children travel so far to Ang Lee's house to play. It would be bad if there was a safety problem.
"Father, what's wrong? Can't I?"
Tang Er saw that Ang Lee was in a dilemma and asked.
Ang Lee said, "Tang Er! It's not that I don't want to. It's just that our house is too far away, and these children are all from nearby. It's so far away. It's not safe for them to go there. "
"Father, don't we have a car at home? Can't we just use a car to pick them up?"
Tang Er said.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "My son, how can we do that? How can the car at home pick them up? It's not appropriate. How about we rent a carriage? That's more appropriate. By the way, we can't always bring these children to our house. You can also go to their house to play! "
"Father, is this true? Can I really go to their house to play? "
Tang Er said happily.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "Of course it's true. Not only can Tang Er go, but I also want to go. There's no school tomorrow. How about we go to your classmate's house tonight? Whose house does Tang Er want to go to first? "
Tang Er thought for a moment and said, "Father, why don't we go to Shuang 'er's house first?"
"Shuang 'er, what a familiar name! Is it the little girl just now? "
Ang Lee said as he looked at the little girl behind him.
Tang Er nodded embarrassedly and said, "Yes, father. She's Shuang 'er. She's the most beautiful girl in our school. She's also the cutest and kindest girl."
"The most beautiful, the cutest, and the kindest girl? Is she really that amazing? It seems that my Tang Er really likes Shuang 'er, haha! Well, let's go to Shuang 'er's house tonight. "
Ang Lee said very straightforwardly.
The greatest joy in life was to communicate with others. The more people you communicated with, the more happiness you could get and the more you could understand. Especially when you communicated with people of different professions and social classes, you could get different knowledge and feelings and enjoy different life experiences.
"Oh, oh, okay!"
Tang Er jumped up excitedly. He liked to play with Shuang 'er. When he heard that he could go to her house to play, he was naturally even happier.
At this time, there was still some time before school was over. Ang Lee asked Tang Er to go back to class, while Ang Lee himself directed his subordinates to install the telephones in the school. All six telephones were installed in place.
The school was only so big. In less than an hour, the telephones were installed. After debugging, they found that the performance was very good. The sound was very clear. All the telephones were installed very well. Li Chuandao and the others naturally began to try it out.
For a time, all the teachers who were not in class were playing with the telephones like children.
"Good stuff, really good stuff!"
"They can hear it so clearly. It's amazing!"
"Such a good thing, you must not lose it. You teachers who live in the school will take turns to watch these treasures in the future."
"What are you afraid of? These are all authenticated by real names. These telephones are authenticated by Assistant Minister Li. Who dares to steal them and use them? Isn't that confessing without being pressed?"
"Still, we have to be careful. It's better to be safe than sorry."
Li Chuandao and the teachers under his command said.
They really liked the telephones. There was nothing more magical than these telephones. Even people who were over fifty years old would feel uncontrollable excitement.
Dusk would arrive in about half an hour, and it was already time for school to end. After all, it was just a school for universal education. It was impossible to study too hard. It was good enough to have six hours of class a day. It would be bad if these flowers of the motherland were tired.
Ang Lee had promised Tang Er that he would go to the house of the little girl, Shuang'er. Therefore, when school was over, Ang Lee asked Tang Er to stop Shuang'er. After most of the students left the school, Ang Lee would send them to Shuang'er's house.
Because the house was nearby, it was only a few steps away. Therefore, when school was over, no one came to pick up their children. All of the children walked home by themselves. However, in order to maintain a certain order, the students living in different areas would form separate teams and go home together. For example, a group of students living in the east of the school would form a team and go home together. The group of students living in the west of the school was the same. The same principle applied to the south and north. In this way, they could take care of each other and avoid accidents.
After all, these were all children and their physical strength was still very weak. If they were left alone and were caught by human traffickers, it would be troublesome. It was not a joke. The children gathered together were strong and there were enough eyes. Ordinary human traffickers would not be able to do anything to them. Otherwise, they would be easily caught.
"Shuang'er, don't be afraid. This is my father. We will send you home."
Tang Er took Shuang'er's hand and said.
This little girl named Shuang'er seemed to be a little afraid of strangers. Her eyes were always full of fear and vigilance when she looked at Ang Lee.
