Bodoh punya Cina, but we have spritually victory

RPK probably surprised that why orang Cina did not get angry when he said Bodoh Punya Cina, like what he had suffered by saying this to other races.
RPK also wondered why the "certain" orang Cina felt so relief and happy when Krismuddin only drew the keris and kissed it, but did not wave and shout like previously.
Everyone knew that both Youth were just "looking for steps to go down the staircase" (下台阶)and close the subject. In fact, no body care about this time.
But it reminded me that probably RPK still did not know Ah Q and we should introduce him this well-known person in the Chinese community.
RPK should first read The True Story of Ah Q (阿Q正传)written by one of the very famous writer called Lu Xun in 1921.
The characteristic of Ah Q is complicated, but the core character is "Method of Spiritually Victory". In this method, Ah Q always believed that he is the victor even though he lost in all fights.
The basic characteristics of Ah Q could be summarised as below:
1) Inferiority and self-based arrogant
He looked down everyone and always felt that he is higher class than others. He could even proud of his "head scar skin disease", which others could not have it.
2) Self-deception
Whenever he was bullied by the stronger and forced to bow to them, he would still feel a victory as he is the No. 1 most humble person.
3)Fear of evil but bully the weak
He always measures his position before fighting. He will bow to the stronger but take no hesitation to bully the weaker. By then, he would feel victory again by successfully bully the weaker, even though he was just bullied by the stronger.
4)A Speculator
He used to oppose with all kinds of revolution to change and said this is a betrayal until this revolution is so popular and force him to follow, but then he still consider which will benefit him more.
This is just to introduce a novel and explain one of our characteristics to those who do not know us in detail. No intention to insinuate anything or anyone. We should not responsible if someone match himself with Ah Q.
