“If you go further into some of those rural places, you'll see people who can't even get one meal a day, whether it's millet rice or barley. It won't do to look down on people like that. Try looking at them upside down! To you, we look like dogs or pigs living like this, but if you got to know us, you'd see that we actually live like gods. You can't compare us to your salarymen. Those people in Seoul who live on stone fields full of smoke? See how I look, how other people look. Our faces are not pale and wan like you, are they? If that's not living like the gods, what is?”
Book:Act 1, Scene 1
