Chapter 493

The plague in 2002 caused only 800 deaths worldwide, which is completely different from the tragic scene of the Black Death passing through the city and dying together.

The London plague of 1665 killed 80,000 people, much smaller than the Black Death that hit all of Europe in the 14th century.

After the plague, the British government started to improve the sanitation of the area. London was very clean, not because of the high quality of the citizens, but because they were afraid of death. In an industrial city with a low population density like Cokeworth, you can see garbage everywhere.

The plague is believed to have been introduced from the Netherlands. Britain is an island country separated from mainland Europe by the English Channel. The sea can block the spread of many diseases, but it cannot stop the merchant ships transporting cotton from Amsterdam. It was the same in Amsterdam from 1663 to 1664. Being ravaged by the plague, London was the first to suffer from the outer docks and the parish of Giles. In these two places, the poor working class and the patients at the bottom of society were not paid attention to and recorded. Therefore, the first incident of the Great Plague in London The case was Rebecca Andrews, who was diagnosed on April 12, 1665.

When the royal family fled to Oxford, the City of London Counselor and other major government officials chose to stick to their posts. At that time, most commercial activities had been paralyzed, and only a few priests, doctors and pharmacists of high character were willing to stay. Helping the rest of the populace live throughout the plague-ravaged summer.

Guangzhou is a coastal port city. The epidemic does not necessarily occur on land, but it may also be brought by sea ships. The plague that broke out in Amsterdam is not necessarily local, and the plague that broke out in Guangzhou is not necessarily a problem of Guangzhou people. .

Fortunately, science is now more developed than in the 17th century, and the source of the plague can be studied, but the source of the Black Death is hard to find. Even studying it is very risky. Excavating the cemeteries where the Black Death is buried may make that The dreaded devil has made a comeback.

During the ravages of SARS, many people used rice vinegar to disinfect. During the London plague, officials also burned various substances with strong odors on the streets, such as peppers, hops and frankincense, and strongly urged citizens to smoke tobacco and exhale smoke, hoping to resist it. Germs spread throughout the city.

When human beings face the unknown, they will go to the other extreme if the known methods fail to work. During the plague in London, all cats and dogs in the city were hunted down, while in Guangzhou, civet cats were hunted down. Perhaps, people killed the wrong "culprit".

In the middle of the 14th century, a strange infectious disease appeared in the city of Taranto in southern Italy. At that time, people believed that it was caused by the bite of a spider called tarantula. The injured people had to dance wildly until they were sweating profusely To detoxify the body, it wasn't until centuries later that the culprit was discovered to be the black widow spider.

Although the Great Fire of London was officially said to be caused by a bakery that did not close the fire, when the plague raged the year before, the city government burned the fire day and night in the city to clean the air.

In order to avoid contagion, the houses where the patients lived were tightly sealed. Even if the people inside were still alive, the red cross was painted on the gate of the confinement, and food and water were only delivered by a special person at a limited time every day, so tens of thousands of people died in this tragic manner at home.

Their corpses were not buried in a centralized manner. They were burned or thrown into mass graves. I don’t know who is worse. Every night, the "grunt" wheels of the corpse truck and the mournful car bell are in harmony. A familiar nightmare, the fire destroyed most of the houses of the sick and dead. Since then, the city of London has been rebuilt on the basis of the fire, and the city has gained a new life after the plague.

However, in the second year of the plague, social order began to return to normal, and a new crisis emerged. During the plague, Britain did not stop trade with the European continent. France suffered immediately in the following winter, and a new round of epidemics began again.

The rulers of the Stuart dynasty still lived a life of luxury and lust during the plague. They turned a blind eye to the suffering of the victims in London, and did not take any measures to prevent the spread of the epidemic. The epidemic began to spread in the surrounding towns and villages along with business travel. The most famous is the small town of Yam, where 75% of the residents died. People found that the plague was related to business travel and immediately cut off all external transportation and contact.

The 17th century was the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At that time, China was closed to the outside world. The sea ban just prevented ships from Europe from bringing the Black Death to China. In 1880, when the customs gate was opened, the plague raged along the coast instead, just along the trade route. .

Are you ready to believe when everyone says what they say?

When caught in the torrent of collective unconsciousness, individual judgment will decline, panic and looting will spread as quickly as infectious diseases, and the destructive power of a large number of people will be astonishing, and all existing cognition will be destroyed in this echo from ancient times.

You may be a good person, but it’s a pity that you can’t protect yourself in that situation. There are few people in the laboratory, but the real situation is infinitely worse than that in the laboratory. Your voice of opposition is likely to get angry. There is no other way but to keep silent. It was in this context that the International Law of Secrecy was born.

Wizards and Muggles have their own lives, and they can talk about things when they calm down. Force can often calm rioters, and the army exists for this time.

The United Kingdom implements a dual-track education system. The education of the nobles and the common people is separated. The rich go to private schools, and the middle and lower classes go to public schools. This is conducive to class solidification.

Educational equality does not exist. Nietzsche’s theory affirms dominion and being ruled. Postmodernism cultivates differences in addition to creativity. Pomona never cares about those students who want to play. She only pays attention to those who are gifted. The minority is the one who is ruled by the majority. This kind of teacher-student relationship is completely different from the modern "perfect" education.

Hufflepuff's boys don't take the initiative to provoke troubles, and they must win, no matter what method they use, and discuss moral issues after winning.

Severus said that it was her way of education that caused Cedric to die. He wanted to win so much, in order to restore Hufflepuff's honor for hundreds of years, but fate decided that he would lose, and Harry saved him. He, he was disqualified from picking up the championship trophy, but his sense of competition made him pick up the trophy under Harry's "bewitching", and the two of them were teleported to Riddle's cemetery together.

Zhang Tao compared the Eastern civilization and the Western civilization to the Boy Pi and the Bengal Tiger. She specially read that book. One person and one beast must depend on each other to survive. When the Bengal Tiger is dying, the Boy Pi is dying too.

In fact, there are three ways to interpret this story:

1. As the Youth Pi said, there are tigers, whales, and floating cannibal islands.

2. As he said at the end, the chef helped them get food at sea, he killed pie's mother, and then vegetarian pie started to eat fish.

3. Pai's father sedated all the animals. Everyone on board ate the broth containing sedatives and fell into a coma. Only their family was safe. His father used "scientific" methods to survive, even Including going fishing with the wounded Buddhist, whose mother scolded his father for his barbaric behavior, and was killed by his father in the conflict, and his father lost the will to live because he killed his lover with his own hands. Had to drift alone, sent a lover Ananda, she gave him a talisman, she hid in the lifeboat, left India with him, went to the United States to pursue dreams, but she died in the shipwreck, her body grew In order to survive, the beast in Pai's body awakened, and the Bengal tiger ate the mongoose representing the maggots.

The red plants are human muscles and blood vessels. The so-called cannibal island eats not real people, but the humanity inside the human body. Pai's father's "pragmatic" spirit helped him survive, even if it included eating human flesh and maggots, he was forced by reality, otherwise he would starve to death.

When men become cruel, women know how to eat, such as forcing women to sell their bodies in exchange for bread.

But women can also instigate men to do some things and give them "inspiration", such as Hermione instigating Harry and Ron to set off firecrackers in potions class to attract Severus' attention and give her time to go to the potions warehouse Steal materials.

The beauty of human nature will become a "dream" luxury among the "real" people everywhere. The city is like a forest, and everyone has to rely on themselves and live like a tiger to survive.

Tigress is of course not cute. Men like submissive and obedient women, but women must become tigers in order to survive. Maybe only those foxes who want to take shortcuts and pretend to be tigers are willing to approach men. Tigers are not careless and cunning. Not surprising anymore.

You want love like poetry, I want bread and milk, women can play with men.

When there is only hypocrisy left in the world, true love becomes rare. Everyone wants it, but they can't find such a person. The marriage rate is low and the divorce rate is high. The basic unit family that makes up the country is gone. , Just like aplastic anemia, when one race dies, the land will be taken over by another race. America originally belonged to the Indians, but now it is the world of the whites.

A single yin does not grow, and a single yang does not grow. Yin and yang must complement each other to survive and develop.

Pomona put down her book and let out a long sigh.

There will be a day when people will regret that they wronged Michael Jackson, but that day will never come while he is alive.

A woman will emotionally forgive him while he is still alive, a man will only truly believe what he says is true when he is dead.

Just like in the movie The Day After Tomorrow, someone talked about global climate change, and the Vice President didn't really listen until Los Angeles was destroyed.

Changed to a Chinese proverb, it means that you will not die until you reach the Yellow River, and you will not look back until you hit the south wall. Even if someone says that it is a dead end, you will be reconciled to hitting it. Making mistakes is also one of human nature.

Severus wanted to go into seclusion, and so did she, the problem was that he had made an unbreakable vow with Narcissa Malfoy, and they were stuck here.

Master Draco Malfoy said that it was "not his fault" that she was cursed by Bella, that handsome but unmanly boy was so weak in the eyes of his godfather, maybe Draco was even worse What about Harry?

Severus liked Marcus Flint's kind of combativeness, because the two of them were the same.

The original man Adam was perfect, so why was he expelled from the Garden of Eden? All because of the temptation of Eve and the serpent, let him eat the forbidden fruit.

The scriptures say: Women should learn the Tao quietly and be submissive. I don’t allow women to preach, and I don’t allow her to rule over men, just be quiet. Because Adam was created first, and Eve was created later. Adam was not tempted by the cup, but the woman was tempted and fell into sin. But if the woman persists in faith, love, and holiness and sobriety, she will be saved in childbirth. The translation of this scripture means that women can be saved by having children. Christianity does not allow women to have abortions, and some Catholic families have several children.

Desperately living, and then dying in plagues and wars after giving birth, people's hearts are numb, and they need to repent to obtain salvation.

So in the eyes of men in the Middle Ages, everyone's life is so miserable, and everything is the woman's fault.

A woman represents the original sin, and if a woman is unfortunately beautiful, it is the original sin among the original sins.

"Is this book interesting?" Severus asked with wet hair, he had just taken a shower, and his pale face turned red.

"You can't imagine it." Pomona handed him the book.

After he finished watching, Pomona wanted to ask him which ending he liked, and she chose the third one because it was very "human".
