  all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. that's been the truth you can see whether from USSR or PRC. no comments can be made since there's been the damage that one may suffer.

  But still, i wanna say attention should been taken whenever sb tell you sth is good regardless it's for you own or for the community. this kind of stuff is just too good to be ture.

  Democrazy is the case, not to mention Communism, which in effect is dictatorship.

  ps; i still believe the tyranny will come to an end someday not too fay away so......

  to be continued.

  Chapter X

  Vera.W (纠结的人生心理阶段。)

  Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer - except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs...It was not that these creatures did not work, after their fashion. There was, as Squealer was never tired of explaining, endless work in the supervision and organization of the farm. Much of this work was of a kind that the other animals were too i... (更多)

  Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer - except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs...It was not that these creatures did not work, after their fashion. There was, as Squealer was never tired of explaining, endless work in the supervision and organization of the farm. Much of this work was of a kind that the other animals were too ignorant to understand

  There was a deadly silence. Amazed, terrified, huddling together, the animals watched the long line of pigs march slowly round the yard. It was though the world had turned upside-down. Then there came a moment when the first shock had worn off and when in spite of everything - in spite of their terror of the dogs, and of the habit, developed through long years, of never complaining, never criticizing, no matter what happened - they might have uttered some word of protest. But just at that moment, as though at a signal, all the sheep burst out into a tremendous bleating of - 'Four legs good, two legs BETTER!...'

  All animals are equal but some animals are more equal then others.

  “If you have your lower animals to contend with,” he said, “we have our lower classes!”

  The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again: but already it was impossible to say which was which.

  xxiii:

  xxvi:

  " poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world "

  _ C.M.Woodhouse

  封底：

  Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned_ a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible.

  Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell's masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.

  叹息的杏仁酥 (美的像个小丑)

  ‘A bird's wing, comrades,' he said, `is an organ of propulsion and not of manipulation. It should therefore be regarded as a leg. The distinguishing mark of man is the hand, the instrument with which he does all his mischief.' 太TM经典了~人的可恶之处全在手上. (更多)

  本書的幾大主要角色簡介：

  Napolean was a large, rather fierce-looking Berkshire boar, the only Berkshire on the farm, not much of a talker, but with a reputation for getting his own way. Snowball was a more vivacious pig than Napolean, quicker in speech and more inventive, but was not considered to have the same depth of character. All the other male pigs on the farm were porkers. The best known among them was a small fat pig named Squealer, with very round cheeks, twinkling eyes, nimble movements, and a shrill voice. He was a brilliant talker, and when he was arguing some difficult point he had a way of skipping from side to side and whisking his tail which was somehow very persuasive. The others said of Squealer that he could turn black into white.
