Boris Pasternak's "Doctor Zhivago" is a very interesting book. Setting aside its uniqueness, there's a certain prescriptive description in it that seems to perfectly fit Ai Guobei's situation.
"In the presence of Big Brother, there are only two types of people who constantly talk about patriotism: one is the shameless swindler, and the other is the overly excited fool. These two types are a perfect match: the former reaps, the latter sacrifices."
For decades, Ai Guobei was a staunch gun advocate and a qualified chamber pot. As the ceiling among speculators, he stood tall in the chaotic rapids at the forefront of Hua Country's public opinion for years.
But from today, from the moment he fled to America to avoid the judicial trial in Hua Country, everything was different.
"CEO Cheng, no, CEO Cheng, let me return to my country. I am willing to go to jail, willing to compensate and apologize. Please."
