"We workers have the obligation to be fired!"

The script on the picture is that "We, workers, should consider the country's interest. We have the obligation to be fired!" In the play, it is suggested that the fired workers are contributing to the country and showing patriotism. With laughter (by the way, it is a funny sketch), such thoughts are easily into one's mind. But in reality, many workers were fired without any pension and insurance, making his own and family's living hard.
It is actually successful propaganda. Spring Festival Gala Evening (catching the country-wide attention) is full of political signals. It is a compromise with the unemployed workers. And through this good comedy, such thoughts can be spread everywhere.
Ironically, Huang Hong, the actor on the picture from the military cultural system, was out of his position as the leader of AUGUST FIRST FILM STUDIO in 2015. Thinking back to his own words 16 years ago, it is truly interesting.
