Good Dogs and Bad Dogs Literary Appreciation

Wang Meng's "Good Dogs and Bad Dogs" is in fact a Chinese political parable

Why are extremists who are brave enough to bark and bite so incessantly? Because even though the boss hates bad dogs, he always has the vague feeling that he may need to keep a few of them to scare the rest of the people.

But the storing of vicious dogs although in their own need to defend the moment can be an immediate effect, but this kind of evil animals can never be more than one, otherwise the harm is too great, the loss is not worth it.

It is the legend of the East Chamber, the legend of the Blood Drops (the historical truth is not quite as the novelist said)

It is the legend of Deng Fa, Kang Sheng, Zhou Chunquan, Xie Fuzhi, and so on, and the history of the book, is for this reason also.

Wang Meng's The Good Dog and the Bad Dog:

Pauss fed two dogs, one Gu De and one Baide. Gu De is good, when he sees people, he barks and dances, wags his tail and spits out his tongue, which is pleasant: Baide is evil, when he sees people, he shows his teeth and barks and bites, and when he bites, he doesn't let go of his mouth, and he doesn't rest until he leaves clear teeth marks on the bones of the bitten person. Paos several times to Baidu to see the object before biting the reasoning, Baidu just do not listen to it, it only knows to bite, there is no bite class. Paulus was so angry that he put Baidu in the backyard and prepared to apply to the Animal Protection Society for special authorization: to give Baidu intravenous air injection for the crime of being an enemy of mankind, and to send it to heaven.

What is expected that night to fly thieves, Gu De saw thieves from the roof leapt down, said it was a guest, they cheered enthusiastically, jumped and jumped around in circles, making murmuring noises, to lick the thieves of the leather shoe clips, the thieves flew up and kicked to the dog whip. Gu De screamed miserably lying on the ground, could not get up. The thief, unfamiliar with the terrain, mistakenly opened the closed door of the backyard. Baidu a wolf howl, dog hair shrugged, indiscriminately see the thief on the bite, bite on the mouth, bite down on the bite, bite until all the houseguests to come to the thief captured.

The master of the joy, decided to give Baidu extra reward every month raw beef twenty kilograms, lamb ribs twenty kilograms, pork twenty kilograms, and in Baidu neck tied a red ribbon. To Gu De is very disappointed, hungry meal, throw it a little scraps of leftovers, usually do not even have to look at it. Gu De was kicked in the vitals, since then listless, drooping ears and tail, and occasionally barked a few times, to send out the whining of the good not to meet. Baidu is so proud of his work that he bites people when he sees them, barks when he sees them, and snatches meat when he sees it, making him unstoppable. It continuously bit a few passers-by with the mailman, florist, cook, all by the Paulus shelter, compensation for the matter. Later, Baidu and repeatedly bit the guests. Paulus gradually annoyed, the Byrd reprimanded, and reduced the rate of food allowance. Who would have thought that a few days later, did not eat a delicious bone, Baidu upset, simply scurry to the center of the street to bite people, one of them is a child, a mayor's lady, a chancellor himself. Paus was furious, and took a stick in his hand and beat Byrd, who thought that Byrd really had developed a vicious nature, pounced on his master, biting his master's welcome bone, leaving deep two dog teeth marks. Caused Paus shouted against the counter, go to the hospital to clean the bandage dressing treatment, and play tetanus shot with rabies prevention injection.

Returning from the hospital, Paus instructed people to lock up the Byrd, and then tied with a rope, Byrd hung to a tree, ready to be hanged - according to the country's laws, as long as there are two witnesses signatures, bite the owner of the dog can be immediately executed.

At the execution, Paus suddenly changed his mind and ordered Byrd to be pardoned, only to be chained up and put in the backyard, and ordered to be fed two hundred grams of breadcrumbs a day - half-starved, so he wouldn't starve to death anyway.

"I'm only afraid there will be a time in the future when I'll need it." Paus said to the butler.
