Yu Jihui: “A Stinking Old Ninth – A Tale of the Coal Capital” (updated on July 2020)

important writing skill in Mao Zedong’s era: to copy!

I read quite a few articles in the newspaper first and

then picked up the most important parts and put it

together. So I wrote a very good political article and

became famous!

My success amazed Monkey King. He

exclaimed, “Mao Zedong thought is really great.

Soapy is reborn because of it! I’ll write an article

about Soapy with the title: How Mao Zedong thought

has reformed the guy who was crazy about foreign

things and obsequious to foreigners.

I amazed our school. The teachers and staff in

our school spoke about it with each other. “Soapy

turned out to be a political giant!” they would say.

I amazed the whole mine! The coal workers

would say, “Soapy is not only good at playing

basketball but he is also good at writing. That’s

talent!”
