Being a KOL and being a eunuch are not much different!
Seeing those who teach how to be a KOL, I didn't really want to discuss this at first, but this morning when I was reading about the Ming Dynasty and came across some life stories of Wei Zhongxian, I suddenly thought, huh? This method seems a bit familiar!
Ordinary people rely on hard work and study to achieve success and fame, going through the provincial examinations, the imperial examinations, and only then can they enter the court to become officials. After decades of navigating the officialdom, they can finally become someone of significance. This path is too difficult, with too many conditions; it's not a road that ordinary people can take. Comparatively, it’s like employees of large companies or exchanges; after going through layers of screening, you can successfully get hired. This path is relatively fair but not smooth, and only a few can make it; most people cannot traverse this road, only the smartest, most outstanding, and most talented individuals can succeed.
So, is there a shortcut to reach the end? Yes, regardless of background or education, anyone can do it, and if you can make a living, those who do well can even become big shots; you just need to create an account to enter the door.
Comparatively, eunuchs do not need to be well-read, do not require extensive training, and do not need to handle government affairs; they just need to undergo that one procedure to enter the palace. It’s exactly the same, right!!!
But just because you have undergone the procedure doesn’t mean you are an impressive eunuch; eunuchs are also divided into different ranks. Most eunuchs spend their entire lives just being errand boys. Compared to the imperial examination path, there are no barriers, not many rules; as long as you undergo the procedure, the rest relies on personal ability and luck. Relatively speaking, the opportunities are a bit greater, but it’s still just a bit.
