The law of Koi

I didn’t mean to install CCTV to monitor our employees, but I actually did so. We had snow much for a few days. I tried to take a train in Nanjing to come back, but it was cancelled because there was much snow in Beijing. It took two hours from Nanjing to our factory by train and car. 

However, the expressway was full of cars like a parking lot because of a lot of snow. I came back to my home at JuXian in five hours somehow or other. I sometimes monitor our Chinese factory by my iPhone in the morning or evening to check who came to work first and did their best on work all the time. This might have been surveillance. I actually installed CCTV to prevent any dangerous situations, such as a fire because all of our materials at a factory are paper. 

However, I used CCTV for the purpose of monitoring against my will. I sometimes pricked at my conscience when I caught eyes of our employees. I feel like I commit a crime. This was the day when employees were late because of snow. There was a 25-year-old woman who has a child and husband folding shopping bags in our factory at minus 10 degrees. Her duty was to fold the bags without any defective things. I was looking at the woman who came to work early in the freezing morning through my iPhone.

I heard that there is a fish named Koi in Japan. I have never seen this fish, but I know that this is really unique because Koi is not equal in length depending on the environment. If it lives in a fishbowl, it is around a 10 centimeter, whereas it grows about a 20-30 centimeter in a pond. 

Even more than that, there are larger than 1 meter fishes growing in a lake or another large ocean. This kind of feature created the law of Koi. Like a fish, the environment changes people. The fish, Koi, seems to have a lot of things we can learn. I don’t know where we are at, a fish bowl, pond, or the largest lake? 

However, I know what this means. Actually, we changed time and environment backwards. We moved into Yiwu from Shanghai and to JuXian from Yiwu again. I feel like that we entered into a small fishbowl from the largest lake and pond. 

However, in other words, we seem to positively cope with the extent of the change from a point of methodological view about where we are going and how to arrive there. 

Even though we stay anywhere, such as in Shanghai, Yiwu, or other rural areas, the extent of the change seems large. We are in a rural area, but we share deep and wide thoughts enough for us to represent the world.
