My dearest liars, you are a special group in the society. We call you "special" because you are keen on lying, love telling lies, and enjoy it endlessly, never regretting until death.
With the sky above your heads and the earth under your feet, you proudly stand out among people. Relying on your eloquent tongues and sharp teeth, you can turn a dead horse into a live camel, and make the sun rise in the west and set in the east.
"Pointing to a deer and calling it a horse" was once your highest pursuit; "Making something out of nothing" has always been your usual trick; "Having an unpredictable mind" is your lifelong goal.
You can swallow elephants with small snakes when you open your mouth, and turn pebbles into gold and silver when you close it. You summon the wind by waving your big hands, and call for rain by swinging your long sleeves. Even a dog's mouth can miraculously spit out white ivory, and your power can scare the Heavenly Emperor to death and astonish Buddha.
Most of you are super-intelligent orators. If not speaking like a waterfall, you must be talking nonstop. Your quick thinking makes people marvel and sigh; your thorough consideration makes people applaud and exclaim.
Regardless of whether your knowledge is as rich as five carts, or whether your knowledge of astronomy and geography is profound, just the grace with which you tell lies can anger many self-proclaimed elegant literati. Sometimes, your lies are as gentle as silkworms eating mulberry leaves or rain beating on banana leaves; sometimes they are as urgent as autumn winds sweeping away fallen leaves, violent storms bringing heavy rains. Either you hide knives in your smiles or appear bitterly cold as ice.
Moreover, you dress neatly and look dignified, appearing as if you were ready to save all beings. But under the seemingly "benevolent and compassionate" appearance, there hides a heart full of ill intentions. You release false words to either confuse people, fish in troubled waters, sow discord, belittle others, criticize one thing but mean another, or secretly move goods... all for your own selfish interests.
You are really hardworking, racking your brains to devise ways to deceive others, exhausting your energy to formulate strategies to cheat. You are really hardworking, sometimes needing to have a long-term vision, eliminate dissenters, form cliques, rise rapidly, lead by example, and make sacrifices...
For lying, you have devoted everything, paid all. Sometimes, even heaven does not fail you, giving you some conscienceless rewards. For example, your predecessors like Yang Guozhong and Qin Hui, famous historical figures, could solely rely on lying to wield power over the country and enjoy great prosperity for a time.
Nowadays, your ranks are growing robustly like grass in spring. First, I congratulate you on your thriving population, and hope that you can push the waves forward. In fact, you are really talented. On the street, if you randomly pick someone, they are either postgraduate students majoring in lying or post-doctoral fellows from night schools of lying. Many people have become wealthy by doing business, promoted by serving as public servants, gained fame as employees, and become affluent as farmers, all thanks to their talent for lying.

I've heard that in recent years, you've stolen the concept of "hype" from someone named Zhao Benshan, and then your talented people established a set...
