What does Maha mean? What is the origin of Maha's story?

Words form words, just like a kaleidoscope played by children, which has changed endlessly through the ages. Many old sayings in China have been eliminated, and new words have emerged constantly, enriching the word classics. The new word "Ma Daha" is an example.

"Ma Daha" refers to a careless person who doesn't care whether he smiles or not. I said it was a new word, but for Hong Kong people, it was the cross talk "Buy a Monkey" performed by Ma in the 1950s.

In our real life, there are indeed some people who are naturally careless, careless in everything they do, too lazy to seriously review themselves, and often laugh it off. It is appropriate to call such a person "careless".

The name of that cross talk is "Buy a Monkey", which was popular all over the country in 1950s. According to the story, there was a cadre named "Ma Daha" who was famous for his carelessness. He wrote an announcement, which was originally to inform him to "go to the northeast corner of Tianjin to buy 50 boxes of monkey brand soap". However, the flying pen was scribbled and mistakenly written "Buy 50 monkeys in the Northeast".

As a result, Ma Daha's leadership is also bureaucratic, criticizing without looking at the content; Ma Daha's colleagues and subordinates are used to following blindly, and they don't ask indiscriminately when they are on business trips, making many jokes that make people laugh. For example, they traveled all over China to buy monkeys; Although all localities are surprised by the bizarre "shopping list" of Tianjin buyers, they still catch monkeys everywhere and deliver them; When the monkeys were brought back, they came out and made a scene in the department store.
