20. The tolerance of Shanghainese is not expressed in humility, but in the expression of keeping things separate. In a moral sense, humility is a virtue; but in a deeper cultural and psychological sense, everyone should do their own thing, which may be closer to the modern concept of tolerance. Acknowledging the rationality of the independent existence of various ecologies, and acknowledging that they can ignore each other, has a deeper meaning than the humility achieved through arduous moral training. Why should you be humble? Because the choice is the only one, either you or me. If I don't let you, I will fight with you. This is the basic way of life and moral starting point under the unified order. Why can everyone go their own way, because there are many paths to choose from. You go yours, I go mine, and no one will engulf the other.

This is a mutual tolerance contract derived from the premise of recognizing a pluralistic world.
