Selected excerpts from Bi Shumin's prose

The grey temptation of the computer age

I have owned a computer for many years. I must bear in mind that I dare not play any computer games for fear of catching a virus, which will make my family's hard words pay for the devil. Suddenly one day, a little niece in high school said that there was a game software called "Hospital" spread among classmates, which was all diagnostic procedures, and it was very difficult for them to treat a patient and a patient while they were playing. soon there was blood on the screen and the body was everywhere. I can't play anymore. Knowing that the third aunt had been an attending physician, she asked for advice or two to overcome the difficulties. So I gladly got on the plane. Although I have left the hospital, isn't it more than enough for more than 20 years of medical boy skills to deal with a game? He fought hard for several hours, and sure enough, he won the class teacher. I successfully made the protagonist in the game from a fledgling medical school graduate to the top dean of the hospital from the steps of physician, chief resident, attending physician and associate dean.

The little niece smiled from ear to ear and said thank you, Auntie San. This is a more difficult game than the Romance of the three Kingdoms. From then on, I can teach my classmates the secret of victory.

From a medical point of view, the scientific knowledge of this game software is basically accurate, with plots and stories, and it is almost like a novel to play from beginning to end.

The young medical school graduate comes from a medical family. His grandfather is traditional Chinese medicine and his father is western medicine. His elders asked him to follow the successful path of his predecessors and go back to the countryside to open a clinic. The young man did not want to leave the brightly lit big city, so his father made a stringent requirement: he must be promoted to the position of hospital director within five years, or he would return to the countryside.

The road to promotion is long and tortuous. On the one hand, the improvement of medical skills, you can not misdiagnosis, can not take the wrong medicine, can not open the wrong knife, can not be helpless in rescuing patients, all in all, you have to accumulate enough cases, every good patient is a brick under your feet to move towards a new position.

I am mainly responsible for this part of the work. Instead of bragging, all the patients I treated were flushed with recovery.

But no matter how good the medical skills are, there is no order for me to be promoted (from now on, the third aunt sometimes turns into me in the game).

My little niece told me that you can't just immerse yourself in seeing a doctor, it can only improve your score in the technical item. Promotion is a comprehensive matter, as well as the evaluation value, popularity, popularity and other indicators.

I mean, Auntie San can't help you with anything other than medicine.

The little niece said, just concentrate on seeing a doctor and don't worry about anything else. I've been thinking about this game for a long time, and I'm in charge of other aspects.

So my little niece and I joined hands to fight against the game software with collective wisdom.

After looking at the patient for a while, the little niece said, it's time to go out and take a look around. I said, where to?

The little niece said, of course, to the officer's room. If you want to be promoted, it's okay not to get close to the leader?

So he moved the computer mouse and led me out of the consultation room to the medical director's room, where the old man looked at us with a smile. Our three choices are typed on the screen: chat, gift giving, and praise.

The little niece instructed me decisively: it's no use chatting with the leader, not even empty words of praise, the best trick is to give gifts. I was surprised and hurriedly asked, "what do you send?"

The little niece said, check what's on our own list?

The result of the computer query is that we are currently just a small intern, a poor blank on the list. Buy it! Said the little niece without blinking an eye.

As soon as the mouse turned around, it turned into the hospital commissary. The computer then lists the names of the goods in the commissary: gold ring, gold watch, century-old XO, game tickets, sea fishing gear, Indian divine oil, panacea.

While browsing, I was angry: this commissary really has bad intentions. In general, the flowers, fruits, nourishment and nutrition that hospitals should have to visit patients are out of stock. How much money do we have now? Asked the little niece.

I hastened to check the amount of savings. The computer shows meagre salary figures.

We are poor, so money should be put on the cutting edge. Gifts must be bought comfortably in order to be useful. First chat with your colleagues to see what the director likes best. The little niece talked to herself.

I obeyed to lead the mouse to my colleague's column, and several people who were also wearing white coats appeared, and the computer immediately typed out information, drinking and other choices.

Of course we choose the intelligence item. Unexpectedly, my colleague replied: there is nothing to say.

I was discouraged, said the little niece. This colleague refused to tell the truth and must be afraid of offending the leader. We gave him a drink and told the truth after drinking.

It costs a lot of money to have a drink, and the little niece has a great general demeanor. She doesn't care that the deposit is reduced to zero, but also wants to get out the heartfelt words of her colleagues.

The colleague in the computer finally spoke: the officer likes women.

The little niece said, let's hurry back to the commissary and buy gifts to suit her.

I had to go back to the commissary as ordered, and the little niece ordered me to buy Indian divine oil.

I almost bounced out of my chair and said hesitatingly, do you know what Indian divine oil does?

The little niece shook her head and said, you adults, don't think we don't know anything, in fact, we know everything. Isn't that what Adam and Eve used? What a big deal! If I tell you to buy it, you can buy it as soon as possible, and you will soon see how much Indian oil will increase our score.

I had to obey and exchange a month's salary of an intern for a bottle of Indian oil.

When I gave the gift to the medical director, my computer screen flashed rapidly, dear, and my fate immediately rose by 12:00. The little niece winked at me. I choked so much that I couldn't speak.

After that, the computer was operated by my niece and I in turn. When I see a doctor for a while, she will be in charge of public relations. She spared no effort to buy drinks and was reduced to penniless several times. But she also got a huge reward, good public relations, intelligence showed like a snowflake, and became the platform of action to guide us.

Randomly select a few records as follows, in order to provide dinner for everyone.

For the officer who loves money, you can give him a secret book of mahjong victory.

You can refer patients who will not see. If there is a medical dispute, you can try to settle it with money.

Be sure to pay attention to the officer's face when brown-nosing. If he stinks, don't talk too much nonsense.

For an officer who is fond of ball games, you can give him tickets and equipment.

Medical disputes and the death of people are also beneficial. It will quickly increase your popularity and you will be popular.

Sometimes you can scold the officer, which will make you more popular with everyone.

At first, I wanted to argue one or two words, but I soon found out that this was a mantis blocking the car. Unless you don't play the game, you have to follow its rules. Otherwise, your score will not go up and you will face the danger of being delisted.

You see hushi playing volleyball with anatomical skulls. If your position is not high enough, you must not criticize it, which will lower your score.

If you see fooling around in the ward, you must pretend not to see it, or your hard-earned qualifications will be destroyed.

In addition to seeing a doctor, you need to keep drinking, chatting, unprincipled praise, snooping around, giving gifts to officers and others.

You can only follow its rules, and it injects a software maker's mindset into your mind like cement over and over again.

The computer intern, composed of my little niece and me, made rapid progress and was finally promoted to the position of dean in a very short time.

The little niece was in high spirits, and her third aunt sat in a daze with a sad face.

I mean, is this the worst game? The little niece said

This is the best game. This is the intelligent type, unlike the fighting type, and it is terrifying to turn people upside down. Besides, there is no naked mirror here, which does not belong to the fight against pornography and illegal activities.

I said, where did this come from?

The little niece said, "it's not domestic. We don't seem to know how to make games yet, do we?" Anyway, I have never played an instructive computer game.

The little niece hopped away to spread the teaching of this game software to more children.

Computer games are made by adults for children to play. It is a new type of book.

For the first time, I felt bitterly that I was old and powerless. I couldn't have learned to write this kind of book. We are blind to computer games. It was reported in the newspaper that a woman worker in the south, who lived frugally and bought a computer for her child, thought that the child was studying every day. Unexpectedly, he was depressed and depraved when he read pornographic software.

The new computer age isolates us from our children.

When we didn't write e-books for our children, they went to read books written by others. The gray juice, dripping into their hearts, may give birth to thorns one morning and spread the black wings that amaze us. In the name of a mother, I appeal: scientists and writers from all over the world join hands to create bright games for children!
