――Liu Guozong Spring Diary Seventeen

In the mood of anticipating spring light, I recalled Jia Baoyu and that 'little lecher' who appeared in an illustration before the story in Dream of the Red Chamber. This little lecher, after appearing in that illustration, never appears again. Actually, we don't need him to appear again, because if this world had no such despicable men, lechers, everyone's life would be more peaceful and families more harmonious. Having such despicable men, lechers, instead makes one feel uneasy, spending all day anxious.

This little lecher, Cao Xueqin speaking through Jia Yucun's mouth, said: 'When I was teaching in Nanjing city back then, I encountered a strange little lecher. This little lecher, influenced by a wicked star, was born in a bad time. You see, when he studies, he must have two girls accompanying him, looking at the girls, only then does he understand, learn to read. Without girls, his soul would fall. Normally he's lax, plays badly. This "mischievous student", as soon as he sees a girl, becomes gentle like a chameleon. If he gets beaten by others to the point he can't bear it, the pain unbearable, he keeps shouting "Sis!" "Miss!",' shouting randomly.

When others asked him: 'When you get beaten, why do you randomly shout "Sis!" "Miss!" instead of "Bro!" "Bro"?'

You guess this little mischievous student, saying: 'Because when beaten to the point of unbearable pain, just shouting "Sis!" "Miss!" makes the pain go away.'

In this world, women are originally not bad; women turning bad are all men's seduction. Speaking of nothing else, just take Jia Baoyu's surroundings: Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, and even those coarse-working maidservants, they often advise Baoyu to study well and be a good person, good girls. Who would have thought that Baoyu, instead of listening to their good advice, drags each of those girls down into ruin. As a result, many good girls become neither human nor ghost; some can't even survive, jumping into wells, hanging themselves.

Today I won't talk about Baoyu that little scoundrel, but only about Jia Lian that great lecher. He relies on the financial authority he grasps in his hand, how many good women has he ruined?

He, whenever he takes a liking to someone, will use every means to get that person into his hands――

When Jia Lian took a liking to You Erjie, who came from the countryside to his company looking for work, he kept her as a mistress. The fact that he kept You Erjie as a mistress was soon discovered by his wife. Enraged, his wife wanted to jump off a building, seeking death, cursing in the streets.

The boss's wife, Feng Laizi, scolded the man's kept mistress You Erjie: 'All men in the world are dead, you shameless whore, not being a decent person, why must you be a second lady? Are you money‑crazed or ghost‑crazed? I can't go on living; I'll make your life unbearable!'

"Feng Saozi"—how could she be a merciful bodhisattva? In the end she actually forced the man's kept mistress, that 'office girl,' to death. And that big boss Jia, spending only a little money, settled the matter of his keeping that 'little thing'.

Who, after settling the previous kept office girl You Erjie, then looked at the next office girl named Qiutong. As for that office girl named Qiutong, needless to say, will her fate be better than You Erjie's? Sooner or later she will again die at the hands of that wealthy man. You say, is that man bad or not?

Lu Xun said: 'Chinese men, originally most could become sages, but they were all ruined by women.' I think Lu Xun saying this is too unfair. No wonder someone surnamed Wang criticizes Lu Xun, saying this and that is no good, yet there is some truth to it.

I reversed Lu Xun's statement: 'Chinese women, originally most could become sages, but they were all ruined by men.'

Women, you must be careful: do not believe that smooth‑talking man before you; men, you also must not lightly ruin women.
