Once in the office, I found the man in charge busy and about to leave. “Wait a minute, please. You are the comrade I was told I must see.” I walked closer to the chief.“Sorry, I’m busy now,” the reply was polite but firm.“Would you please spare me just a few minutes? I came from a great distance and it’s not easy for me to pay another visit here in a short time.”“Then come when you can,” now a chief’s tone (语气), very businesslike.“Just take a look at this paper. One minute is enough.”“But I don’t even have one minute, no, not one single minute.”“Then I must come back again?”“Right, you must.”“You are practicing bureaucratism!” I lost control of my temper that had been suppressed (压抑) since I entered the office.“Good criticism (批评),” the chief smiled and left.That was “bad” criticism, bad for me, as later I was told that my report was turned down.
