Why are the people in the hotel less smug than Ah Q in "The True Story of Ah Q"?

Ah Q thinks that he has done something that others can respect, and he will be able to feel proud in the future. The philistines in the hotel will look at him differently, and he will no longer be ridiculed and bullied. It was because he thought it was ridiculous that even Ah Q could bully others, and he looked down upon him, so he laughed. However, Ah Q thought he was cheering for him, and was actually very satisfied. He smiled more proudly than others, thinking that he was the only one who dared to do this. , amazing. I write this to highlight that Ah Q is very proud...to highlight his ignorance and stupidity, and the sadness of being laughed at and still happy...
