"Mules in Shandong imitate the braying of horses" is a idiom that is often used to satirize a person who is pretentious, has a southern accent or a northern accent, or is deliberately showing off. There is no research on where the category comes from. Regarding this remark, there is a well-known little joke that has been circulating for a long time in our country.

It is said that there used to be a man in our area who served as a soldier in Shandong. When you serve as a soldier, you eat royal food and get a national salary, which makes you feel superior to ordinary people. But in the army, you must absolutely obey the discipline. Once you become a soldier, you can't help yourself. For many years, you rarely go home.

This year, I finally looked forward to the opportunity to go home and visit my relatives.

After being away from home for many years and not having any fellow villagers with me, my speech and living habits gradually changed under the influence of local customs.

After arriving home, all the villagers came to watch, greet each other, and then chatted all over the world. Due to habit, some foreign accents are inevitably mixed into the speech, and a few words of "official language" burst out from time to time when not paying attention.

A person of a similar age who was somewhat knowledgeable in our area at the time found it awkward and unconvinced. He thought to himself, your kid has just been out for a few years and his tongue has curled up. He won’t be able to do it again when he comes back. Speaking of "people", it seems that you are quite high-ranking, don't you? You really fucking know how to pretend. So, the township party member wanted to tease the soldier brother and remind him not to forget his roots. Pretending to be very polite and humble, he asked: "So-and-so, you are a soldier in Shandong. I want to ask you something. I heard that the mules in Shandong can imitate the braying of horses?"

Brother Bing He was a straightforward and rude man. He didn't even realize that there was something in this fellow's words. He laughed loudly and said: "No, no, it's just louder."
