All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
Professor Liu Shaoming re-translates Orwell’s classic masterpiece
Mr. Jones, the owner of Manna Farm, eats all day long, is addicted to food, and is mean and ungrateful. The pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep, chickens, horses, and mules on the farm work for the owner all day long, and they only eat half full. Not to mention that you will have to suffer physical pain if your work performance is not satisfactory.
Let's say that one midsummer night, Jones got drunk in a liquor store. He was confused between morning and dusk. He returned to the farm at noon the next day and didn't pay attention to feeding animals at all. As soon as he entered the house, he fell asleep on the sofa in the living room. As a result, the animals have been starving. Finally, they couldn't bear it anymore, but they saw a cow knocking open the door of the grain storage with its horn. The animals rushed up in response and took things from the feed box to fill their stomachs.
At this moment, Mr. Jones suddenly woke up. In an instant, he and his four servants rushed to the grain storage warehouse. They took a whip and beat him hard on all sides. This made the hungry animals intolerable, and they all pounced on the cruel master who had been torturing them. Jones and his gang suddenly found themselves surrounded by enemies, being bitten by horns and kicked by hooves, and the situation was completely out of control. They had never seen or imagined an animal behaving like this. These animals were once slaves that they whipped and tortured at will, but now they had changed their appearance. How could he not be frightened to death? At this lightning moment, they decided not to be entangled anymore and ran away from Manna Farm.
The animals finally took charge and became the owners of the farm. From then on─
Orwell's "Animal Farm" was originally subtitled "A Fairy Tale" and was intended to satirize the Soviet revolution and, by extension, to alert the public to stay awake and alert amidst all the inflammatory and dangerous "socialist" arguments.
