Ma Daha's Historical Allusions

The name of that cross talk was "Buy a Monkey", which was popular all over the country in the 195s. The story says that a cadre named "Ma Daha" is famous for being irresponsible and careless. He wrote an announcement, which was supposed to tell him to "go to the northeast corner (Tianjin) and buy 5 boxes of monkey brand soap". However, the flying pen is sloppy and sloppy, and it is wrongly written as "to buy 5 monkeys in the northeast".

As a result, Ma Daha's leaders are also bureaucratic, and they approve without looking at the content. Ma Daha's colleagues and subordinates are used to blindly following the style of work, and they go on business trips to perform tasks without asking, making a lot of jokes that make people laugh. For example, I traveled all over China to purchase monkeys; Although all localities are surprised by the bizarre "purchase list" of Tianjin buyers, they still catch monkeys everywhere for delivery; When the monkeys were shipped back, a group of monkeys came out and made a scene of "Thousand Goods Company".

This cross talk was once criticized as "anti-Party", but the word "Ma Daha" quickly spread all over the country.
