<blockquote> ''Guchengyike'' (孤城异客): A ''qilu'' poem --- Culture of the '''Kneeling Country''': Forget that a real man doesn't kneel easily; this divine land is always full of disabled men. Servile people kowtow at the red steps of the palace: ignorant masses kiss the ground at the government buildings. People kowtow to salute the emperor and cultivate themselves to be shitizens. A man shamelessly proclaims that Chinese people have stood up; we should all know it's merely a self-consoling fantasy. </blockquote>
