Mr. Yu: "This is considered cheap. Imported ones are more expensive. An 18-inch imported one costs 1,414 yuan. The one with a remote control is even more expensive. It's 18 inches and costs 1,550 yuan."
Everyone gasped again.
"Imported ones are so expensive? Who would buy them! Our domestically produced ones are just as good."
"That's right, that's right."
"What we produce ourselves is no worse than what no one else produces."
"I'll only buy products made in China; I'm not one to blindly worship foreign things!"
"If you're not someone who idolizes foreign things, then why do you say the shoes you sell are made in the US?"
"Is that the same?"
…………
Mr. Yu flipped through the TV channels. “Not bad, there are eight channels.”
"You get what you pay for. There are advantages to being more expensive. Old Wu's house only has three channels."
"Alright, the TV is set. Come to my house for dinner. Your sister-in-law has already prepared the meal. You can watch TV later."
Father Yu: "Alright, then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law."
"What a jerk, you're being so polite with me."
Seeing that their father had turned off the TV, some of the bolder children stood up.
"Grandpa Yu, can we come to your house to watch TV later?"
Father Yu: "Okay, but you'll have to bring your own stools, there aren't enough stools at home."
"Oh! That's great, I'll go back and eat now. There'll be TV to watch tonight, I'll watch TV tonight."
Upon hearing this, the people in the courtyard hurried home to eat, planning to come to Yu's house later to watch TV—it was a color TV with eight channels!
When the parents returned home, they were startled to see the courtyard so crowded, thinking something had happened.
However, neither Mr. Yu nor Mrs. Yu said anything; they simply took Mr. Yu's old friend and did not head home.
Mother Yu: "There are so many people here, let's move the TV to the front door! That way, people in the yard can also see it."
Father Yu: "Okay, Old Wang and I will take it apart."
Mother Yu: "You go and move it, I'll boil some water and make some cold tea."
The timing was perfect; the TV had just started when I turned it on.
A century of coma
The Chinese people are gradually waking up
Open your eyes and look carefully.
Who would willingly accept being a slave?
Because of timidity and forbearance
Their arrogance is growing day by day
Speak up! Shout loudly!
This is a nation where everyone is a soldier.
Historically, bandits have wanted to invade
He will inevitably die in the end.
The Great Wall will never fall.
The Yellow River flows for thousands of miles
Beautiful landscape with overlapping peaks and ridges
Ask me where my country looks like it's infected with a disease.
Break through the bloody path and wave your hand!
We must dedicate ourselves to the revitalization of the nation.
How can we allow our land to be trampled upon again?
Everyone took on their mission [1]

"It's Huo Yuanjia, it's Huo Yuanjia."
The child had just jumped up when his elderly mother pressed him down with her hand, saying, "Be quiet."
The weather was hot and humid during the day, but there was a slight cool breeze at night, so it didn't feel hot at all. Everyone was having a lively discussion about the plot of the TV program.
After watching all eight channels and all the TV programs had ended, everyone reluctantly left.
However, everyone helped clean up before leaving. Some took stools home, while others swept up sunflower seed shells. The yard was spotless after everyone left.
[Note]: [1] It comes from the theme song "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" of the movie "Huo Yuanjia" released in 1982.
