Where did "Madaha" come from?

"Madaha" refers to those people who are careless, careless, laughing and joking, and do things sloppily. In fact, this word is a funny saying created by cross talk artists in Tianjin in the 1950s.

The cross talk "Buying a Monkey" in the 1950s was popular all over the country. The story goes that there was a man named "Ma Daha" who was famous for being irresponsible and careless. He made an announcement. He was originally going to inform him to "go to the northeast corner of (Tianjin City) and buy fifty boxes of monkey brand soap", but instead he wrote "go to the northeast corner to buy fifty monkeys."

As a result, Madaha’s leaders were also bureaucratic and approved without even looking at the content. Madaha’s colleagues and subordinates were accustomed to blindly obeying without asking and went on business trips to perform tasks, causing a series of troubles. A great laugh-out-loud joke. First, he traveled across most of China to purchase monkeys. Although he thought "the purchase order was bizarre," he still bought monkeys everywhere and delivered them. Finally, all the monkeys were shipped back, and a group of monkeys came out of their cages to cause trouble in the department store.

This cross talk led to the birth of the term "Madaha", which quickly spread throughout the country.
