The famous couplet written by Li Dazhao: "Iron shoulders bear morality, and skillfully write articles!" It was originally written by Yang Jisheng, a famous cultural figure in Ming Dynasty. Li Dazhao only changed one word in the original couplet.
Yang Jisheng, a famous cultural figure in Ming Dynasty, was killed by Yan Song for resisting rape and opposing the right to rape Yan Song. Before his execution, Yang Jisheng wrote a famous couplet: "An iron shoulder bears morality and an iron hand writes articles."
19 16 One day in September, a friend of Li Dazhao asked him to write a couplet. He remembered this pair of couplets, so he wrote ten big characters: "Iron shoulders bear morality, skillful hands write articles" to encourage his friends.
It's just that Li Dazhao skillfully changed the word "spicy" into the word "wonderful", and the difference between "spicy" and "wonderful" was manifested by Li Dazhao's cautious and rigorous writing characteristics. Later generations did not know that this couplet was written by Li Dazhao, and the misunderstanding has continued to this day.

An American journalist found an American Parker pen on Premier Zhou's desk when interviewing him. The reporter asked in a somewhat ironic tone: "Excuse me, Prime Minister, why do you China people use our pens made in the United States?" Premier Zhou said humorously: "This pen is a long story. This is an anti-American souvenir from a North Korean friend. I refuse to accept worthless rewards. Korean friends said, as a souvenir. I thought it was very meaningful, so I left this pen in your country. " Hearing this, the American reporter suddenly became speechless.
When the American delegation visited China, an official once said in front of Premier Zhou: "China people like to walk with their heads down, while we Americans always walk with our heads held high." When this language came out, it surprised everyone. Premier Zhou took his time and said with a smile, "This is not surprising. Because we in China like to go uphill, and you Americans like to go downhill. "
