Essay on "Carrying forward the traditional Chinese virtues"

Don't forget the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation

Today, I was y touched by the cartoon "False Illiteracy" by the famous painter Hua Junwu. This cartoon, and its powerful criticism of the society of those high cultural level, low moral level of the crowd, pointedly satirized the extreme egoism of some people.

One evening, on the side of the road, a woman holding a baby stood with several bags of things. The wind was cold, the sky was cloudy, the station "mother and child on board" appeared to be very conspicuous. The mother looked over and said, "Huh? Why are there four big men in the Mother and Child Boarding Area? Can't they read? But look at their gentleman Road well-dressed, how not like an illiterate ah!

Mother looked at them, the front of the row of the grandfather, chubby, wearing a straight coat. The first one is the one in the front of the row, fat, wearing a straight coat. He squinted his eyes slightly lifted, and then drooped his eyelids, did not have the slightest reaction. Then look at the second person, wearing a top hat, wearing a military coat, hands into the pockets, looking straight ahead, like no one else. The third man, a short man, wearing a very fashionable hat, eyes closed, the corners of his mouth turned downward, looking like he didn't care. Take a look at the last man, and it's indescribable. Big man, big leather jacket, plus a big mask, really funny.

The mother raised her voice and said loudly: "Can't you read? Here is the mother and son on the car ah!" However, they did not respond at all.

At that moment, the car came. The men rushed to the car in a swarm. The mother looked at the crowd of people in the car, and looked at the child in her arms shivering with cold, the young mother had to stand helplessly by the side, waiting for the next bus to come.

The British Mr. F. O. Bacon said: "If there is a social environment with a good moral climate, it is most conducive to the cultivation of a qualified citizen. Are the men in the picture really illiterate? They pretended to be deaf and dumb, turning a blind eye to the mother and her son in the cold wind without any compassion! Why is there such a phenomenon? Why do these people pretend to be illiterate when they know how to read? Is it possible that they have long forgotten the traditional virtues of the Chinese people to respect the old and love the young?

I would like to appeal here: let such "fake illiteracy" disappear, so that the world can become a better place!
