“The customers in the wine shop talked about the New Year market and about starvation. To season their tales, they drank several cups of wine apiece to go with their ham, boiled chicken, roast pork, or hot bowls of noodle soup… They conversed in deep measured tones and laughed happily. Meanwhile, the hungry, who had risked their lives robbing food in the market, were being dragged back to this same area and were there tied up with their arms twisted behind them around the pillars of the shop. Now and then a customer would stand up and point a finger at them, yelling insults; ‘The best thing to do would be to have you bums beaten to death.’”[122]
