Watching it last Sunday, on every workday this week when I've been too busy to drink water, I can't imagine my body being run over between giant industrial gears, hairs stand on end. But I personally feel that the cruelty of this most famous image is still weakened in the movie. The man in the gears should be smashed by the machine and spit out, instead of briskly moving his lips and instructing others to feed him lunch .

Yes, this is not something as trivial as being thrown into a game by a machine, it will kill people. For example, the 98-year-old girl who guarded the frontier for Pinduoduo, such as Xiao Bao, who is the same age as me, I met her in the tea room yesterday. She had thyroid cancer surgery and repeatedly told me: don’t stay up late for work, anger.
