是因为我的罪还是因为我祖宗的罪？

If too much of an effort is made, arbitrarily and prematurely, to abolish these things, the local tyrants and evil gentry will seize the pretext to put about such counter-revolutionary propaganda as "the peasant association has no piety towards ancestors","the peasant association is blasphemous and is destroying religion" and "the peasant association stands for the communization of wives", all for the purpose of undermining the peasant movement.

若用过大的力量生硬地勉强地从事这些东西的破坏，那就必被土豪劣绅借为口实，提出"农民协会不孝祖宗"、"农民协会欺神灭道"、"农民协会主张共妻"等反革命宣传口号，来破坏农民运动。

My western comrades, how about not to mention the murderers in Tibet? That would be useful 20 years ago, but it is only sth disgusting now. Besides, as the posterity of those pirates and traders in human beings, don't you think it is a little forgetful for you to say that? In the past your forefathers made great efforts to massacre tens of millions of Indians to get the American continent. Oh wait, please do not mention the theory of 'variola depopulation'...even the black death was not strong enough to kill out your ancestors, how can variola do that? This theory is cheeky!

西方的同志们，不要再拿西藏的那些杀人犯来说事儿了，20年前也许还有点用，现在只能招人厌恶，再说了，身为强盗和人贩子的后代，你们说这些话有点数典忘祖，想当年，你们祖宗可是花了九牛二虎的力气灭绝了几千万印第安人，才把美洲给占了，哦对了，别在提所谓的'天花灭绝'论，想当年黑死病那么厉害都没把你们祖宗给灭绝了，天花算个鸟，这说法也忒无耻了一点。

Dead ancestors along with living relatives ran Jou-chia ragged, and she often groused to Hung
