脱 贫

中国全面脱贫的简报 （题目“毛主席思想永放光芒，习主席领导人民脱贫奔小康”）， 送到了毛主席那里 ---- 虽然他老人家躺在水晶宫里，还是坚持每天看简报 ---- 毛主席摘下老花镜，若有所思， 道 : "我在位时，不是已经超英赶美奔向共产主义了吗? 怎么四十年多后，我的后辈还在搞‘脱贫奔小康’呢？”

毛主席的手颤抖了一下。

他并没有在"批阅"处画圈 ---- 自从躺进水晶后, 对于文件，他就只看不批了...

Eradicating Poverty

A briefing report on China’s complete eradication of poverty—titled “Mao Zedong Thought Shines Forever; Under President Xi’s Leadership, the People Lift Themselves Out of Poverty and Advance Toward a Moderately Prosperous Society”—was delivered to Chairman Mao.

Although he lay in the Crystal Palace, he still insisted on reading briefings every day.

Chairman Mao took off his reading glasses and, after a moment’s thought, said:

“When I was in power, were we not already surpassing Britain and catching up with America, marching toward communism? How is it that, more than forty years later, my successors are still working on ‘lifting people out of poverty and advancing toward moderate prosperity’?”

His hand trembled slightly.

He did not draw a circle in the “approved” column. Ever since he entered the Crystal Palace, he has only read documents—he no longer endorses them.
