Ma Lin read Su Lanji's books and was greatly influenced by them. He felt that he should face the world with kindness; even though the six hundred million people of District 44 had a poor reputation online, labeled as lazy and fond of petty gains, if he were to think the same, his work here would be very smooth.
These people insulted those who worked hard, calling them 'struggle bugs'; they ridiculed honest and trustworthy people, calling them fools.
'Struggle bugs' made it easier for capitalists to exploit workers, and so they were hindered by them.
However, the experience of Huaxia country showed that strugglers could enhance industry competitiveness, reduce the 'scissor difference' exploitation by Western countries, and thus raise the overall wage level of the industry.
Only when Huaxia genuinely won the competition and was no longer choked by the West could they breathe a sigh of relief.
