Red In Mind & Body
Peter Robinson walked out of the luxury hotel he had been staying in into the busy streets of Shenzhen with luggage in hand, he had arrived in China a few days ago as a representative of Electro-Dynamics in order to attend an important technology/trade fair and make a few deals with Chinese providers in a bid to secure millions of chipsets for a new product his company was developing.
The trip had been a complete success and Peter was happy that he would now finally be able to go back home, back to the states.
When he first heard he was going to be sent to China he protested but after he was offered a fat bonus if things went well he accepted but with doubt still lingering in his mind.
The reason why he didn't want to go to China was that he felt that the government there was the worst, he even had posted a few anti-CCP posts in the past on his Facebook as he was a huge advocate of democracy and human rights, things the CCP wasn't known for at all.
Despite this once Peter arrived in Shenzhen he was completely amazed at how modern the city looked, in many ways it was better than some cities back in the states as it even had a noticeably superior public transit system that Peter had the chance to use a couple of times
In one of his free days, Peter went to a museum and his mind was blown even more when he learned that only a few decades ago Shenzhen was a small village whose population didn't surpass the fifty thousand mark and now in only a short time it had transformed itself into a large metropolis of over ten million people and was now the home of the Chinese silicon valley.
A loud beep made Peter leave his thoughts for a moment as a black luxury car parked in front of him, the polarized window in the right door lowered itself and revealed a familiar shape.
-"Hey Zhang!" Peter said happily as the Chinese man that had been his conductor smiled and got out of the car in order to help Peter with his language.
-"Hello Peter!" Zhang said as he grabbed Peter's luggage and placed it in the car's trunk while Peter quickly got into the car.
Once the trunk was secure Zhang walked towards the driver's door and hopped on, after putting on his seatbelt he stepped on the accelerator and pulled out of the small parking area and into the busy night traffic.
-"How was day?" Zhang asked as he looked at Peter from the car's retro visor.
-"Good I had the opportunity to go to this rooftop restaurant with some app developers, it was pretty great, then we went to this nice park close by," Peter said as he looked at the eyes of the old man.
-"How about you?"
-"It nice, but little down that you will go" Zhang said with a little sadness in his voice.
-"I'm sorry but this is how it is" Peter said as he laid more on his cushy seat -"But don't worry I'll probably be here faster than you think..."
-"Really?" Zhang asked as he stopped at an intersection.
-"Well I'm not supposed to say anything but my company is very happy with the new chipsets deal so they want me to come here in a few months to secure more of them".
-"That good" Zhang said as he turned the car left.
-"Yes, apparently my company is now in love with Chinese technology" Peter said as he looked at the window and saw the tall skyscrapers outside zooming past him.
-"You don't sound convinced" Said Zhang in a more serious tone than before -"You don't want to come back?"
-"No it's not that Zhang, it's just that this place is ruled by a government that violates everything I stand for, yes I accept that it has made a lot of improvements to the people here and I don't have anything against the Chinese people or you, I just don't like your government at all, and it's really hard for me to try and justify why I am here" Peter said with full honesty as he now felt guilty about accepting that bonus.
-"It's okay Peter, you live in the west after all..." Zhang said "You no understand what china went through, how it was humiliated by nations like yours, how we were punched into submission, but now we are strong, and nobody will ever mess with us or by the eternal glory of Mao and the all-mighty CCP we will destroy you!" Zhang said as he suddenly increased the speed of the car and turned right into a somewhat dark abandoned alley.
-"Zhang what are you doing my flight is leaving in an hour!" Peter said as Zhang stopped once the car was deep enough into the alley so that no one else could see them or hear them.
-"Don't worry Peter you won't leave" Zhang said as he removed the keys from the ignition and before leaving the car he cryptically said -"Don't fight what's coming, you'll soon understand us"
With that said, Zhang got out of the car and quickly locked all the doors so that Peter couldn't escape.
-"What the hell Zhang!" Peter screamed as he struggled to open the car's door at his side to no avail.
Meanwhile, Zhang looked at Peter's desperate attempts to flee with a smile as he pressed a button in the keys that released a sort of green gas from the air conditioning vents.
The gas rapidly accumulated in the small confined space of the car's cabin and once Peter took in just a little bit of it through his nostrils he immediately felt sleepy which made him panic even more.
-"Zhang get me out of here!" Peter screamed as he banged on the car's window which wouldn't budge as they were made of bulletproof glass, with each minute that passed and the more gas Peter breathed into his system, his cries for help became much more silent and his punches much more sloppy, before Peter could even notice it his eyes finally closed and a black void consumed his mind.
Zhang meanwhile walked away from the car as a black van entered the alley through the other side, once it was literally in front of him a group of men in biological suits loaded themselves out of the van and walked towards the car in which Peter was now deeply asleep.
One of the men after proving that Peter was indeed asleep approached Zhang and saluted him which Zhang quickly also did.
-“感谢张先生的服务，我们伟大的领袖和国家一定会报答你……” (Thank you for your service Zhang, our great leader and nation will repay you highly...) the man in a muffled voice through his mask.
-“谢谢你，我所做的一切都是以中国的名义，红了心身！” (Thank you, all I did was in the name of China, red in mind and body!) Zhang shouted with pride
-“身与心都红！” (Red in mind and body!) The man responded as he stopped saluting and walked away towards the other men which had just opened the door of the car and had pulled out Peter's unconscious body.
With a lot of team effort, the men placed Peter's body onto a stretcher and secured it with a few belts, once they were done they pushed the stretcher onto the black van in a hurry as they didn't want anyone to stumble upon their little operation.
Once the stretcher was in the van all of the men quickly climbed into the back compartment and closed the set of double doors that separated them from the exterior world, then the engine of the van roared as it pulled away from the alley leaving Zhang and his car alone.
The noise of dozens of men and their boots hitting the irregular and puddle-filled floor had been replaced by a somber silence that was only interrupted by the intermittent noise of clothes waving above from cables and the faraway noise of construction work and car hooking.
Zhang smiled one last time as he thought about how his long-held dream was about to become true, all thanks to the great mercy of the leader, the party, and his country.
A sudden beep distracted Zhang momentarily as he pulled his phone out of his pocket, his bank account had just received a transaction that amounted almost to a million dollars.
Zhang laughed as he imagine what he would do with all of the money, but before he could ponder on this any further a new message popped onto the screen.
-“请明天上午 8:00 到此设施展示自己” (Please present yourself at this facility tomorrow at 8:00 a.m) bellow the text there was also a small map that pointed out an area outside the city in what used to be an old abandoned factory.
Zhang took note of this message and quickly got into his car, he then pulled out of the alley and onto the busy streets of Shenzhen, as night turned into the morning the world slept peacefully not knowing that the red dragon they already feared was about to become much stronger.
----------------------------------------------------------
White and more shades of white, that was all Peter could see when his eyes finally opened, his sense of hearing could only perceive the buzzing of the lights placed on the roof and floor around him, lastly, his nose was attacked by a certain clinical smell one can only smell in a hospital waiting room.
-"Is this a dream, Did I die?" Peter thought as he got up from the floor and noticed that he was fully naked, Peter immediately covered his small equipment with both of his hands in shame as he felt like he was being observed.
This conclusion was correct as from the other side of the apparently solid circular white walls there was a glass that permitted a large group of CCP officials, military generals, and scientists to have a 360° field of view of Peter's naked body.
All of the men patiently waited for the show ahead of them, suddenly the only door to the observation deck opened which made all of the men stand up and salute.
The one and only Xi Jinping entered the room followed closely by his security detail, once Xi saluted back and ordered everyone to sit down he immediately walked towards the head scientist who was slightly trembling in front of a large futuristic-looking computer set-up.
-"习主席很高兴有你在这里" (President Xi is a pleasure to have you here!) The scientist said as he saluted Xi.
-"这位凌医生不用手续，开门见山" (Leave the formalities out of this Dr. Ling, get straight to the point) Xi said uninterested as he was supposed to be working that morning but a group of military officials told him to attend a presentation of a new technological device that could help the nation and Xi's plans of global hegemony.
-"是的先生" (Yes sir!) Dr. Ling said as he turned around and started to type a few things on the computer, immediately a window opened which showed a human figure and a few arrows around it that pointed towards a few stats.
-"我提出的是从根本上解决我们国家必须解决的三个主要问题，首先是出生率下降，未来中国经济可能会收缩，因为没有足够的年轻人积极工作、消费和纳税，其次，我们内部的政治敌人正在缓慢但肯定地摧毁我们的国家，最后，西方不断挑战我们在世界上的统治和地位，这个项目，我个人的项目自 90 年代后期以来一直在努力确保这些问题将成为过去" (What I'm proposing is a radical solution to the three main problems that our nation has to deal with, firstly the birth rate is way down, and in the future, the Chinese economy may contract as there won't be enough young people to be actively working, spending and paying taxes, secondly, our internal political enemies are slowly but surely destroying our nation, and lastly, there is the west who constantly defies our reign and position in the world, this project, a project I've personally been working on since the late 90s will ensure that these problems will be a thing of the past) Dr. Ling said as he pointed at the screen and then at Peter who was still looking with caution the room around him.
Xi looked at the scientist and then at Peter with one of his eyebrows raised as the whole situation felt extremely silly.
-"您打算如何通过绑架可能导致战争的美国公民来解决这些问题?" (And how do you plan to resolve those problems, by kidnapping an American citizen which could potentially lead to war?) Xi asked in a mocking tone as he signaled his security detail that he was planning to leave.
-"是的，也不是，先生，您看到遗传学是一个不断发展的领域，今天我们比以往任何时候都更了解构成我们的小事物，将其与催眠和心理行为交流的新形式相结合，我们相信我们可以从任何背景的男女老少中培养出模范中国公民" (Yes and no sir, you see genetics is a field that has been in constant growth, today we know more about the small things that make us up than ever before, combining this with a new potent form of hypnosis and mental behavioral alternators we believe that we can make a model Chinese citizen out of every man, women, and child from any possible background) Dr. Ling said as he pressed the execute button on the screen.
Meanwhile, Peter who had finally gotten up from the cold ceramic-like floor felt a sudden pain coming from his left arm.
-"What was that?" Peter asked as he twisted his arm and observed a very obvious red swollen area that hurt greatly if it was touched, as Peter looked at this weird injury in his arm, he felt like boiling water was being injected into his veins from that area which made him grunt in pain.
-"他怎么了" (What is happening to him?) Asked Xi rather intrigued as Peter fell and started shaking on the floor uncontrollably.
-"纳米机器人先生" (The nanobots Sir) Dr. Ling responded without further explanation as he observed his life's work finally becoming a reality.
-"纳米机器人" (The nanobots?) Asked Xi as the scientist turned around.
-"是的，纳米机器人，当对象失去知觉时，我们将它们注入他的身体，现在它们正通过他的静脉扩散到他的全身" (Yes, the nanobots, when the subject was unconscious we injected them into his body, right now they are spreading all over his body through his veins) Dr. Ling explained.
-"这些纳米机器人有什么作用" (And what do these nanobots do?) Asked Xi
-"他们甚至在基因层面上都会改变他，他会彻底成为汉人，并且是一个非常爱国的人，一个永远不会怀疑中共最高权威和你的领导的人" (They will change him even at the genetic level, he will become Han Chinese through and through, and a very patriotic one at that, an individual that will never doubt the supreme authority of the CCP and your leadership) Dr. Ling said which made Xi feel like he was being pranked, it is impossible to do what Dr. Ling was describing yet from the windows Xi could perfectly see how Peter's body suddenly grew in length.
The computer emitted warning noises as Peter's heartbeat started increasing thanks to the accelerated changes his body was going through.
Peter's body had finally stopped growing when it reached a titanic six feet two, making him taller than the majority of the people that were observing his changes.
-"纳米机器人现在遍布对象的全身，总统先生，现在可以开始更重要的变化……" (The nanobots are now positioned all over the subject's body Mr. President, now the more important changes can begin...) Dr. Ling said to Xi as Peter's large gut contracted back into his body.
Meanwhile, in Peter's chest, his large pecs made of mainly fat also recessed back into flatness, simultaneously all over Peter's body any sign of aging was eliminated.
Wrinkles were replaced by smooth skin, Peter's balding head now had the lush set of hair he used to have in his mid-twenties, by the time the changes seemed to stop Peter was left in the body he had when he was 28 years old, the only difference was his new taller stature.
Xi's mouth opened wide as the previously fifty-year-old man in front of him was now decades younger, he wasn't the only one as the other CCP members, military officials, and scientists were now at the edge of their seats with a mix of amazement and fear plastered on their faces.
-"年龄回归过程刚刚完成，正在执行进一步的更改" (The age regression process has just finished, executing further changes...) Dr. Ling said quietly as he typed a text and clicked the enter button which immediately made the computer buzz as it sent to the nanobots the new orders.
-"Not again!" Peter thought as the heat came back in this time it was much worse as the nanobots that produced it were now everywhere, slowly changing him from the inside out.
What Peter or the other people that secretly watched him couldn't see was that his genes were slowly changing, new segments were being created and others were being eliminated, simultaneously while this was happening Peter's skin started developing a slightly yellowish tone as his melanin all over his body adjusted to the orders Peter's new genes were giving it.
To this, you have to add that the majority of the bodily hair Peter had seemed to disappear back into his skin leaving him completely smooth except for his scalp.
Speaking of which the hair in this area changed in color from Auburn with some white strands here and there to a completely black coal tone that slightly shined thanks to the lighting of the room.
Peter's hairstyle also changed as from the sides his hair receded back into his scalp, the rest of his hair also receded slightly but also acquired a spiky consistency, this left Peter with a hairstyle that wouldn't be out of place in a military base.
As Peter's skin tone appeared to have settled at a particular shade of yellow he felt a burning sensation coming from his dick, ass and nipples.
-"Shit!" Peter thought as he watched his dick become larger and larger between his hands, he then felt the pressure of his larger and very fertile balls growing behind his larger member, once his dick had reached an impressive nine inches in length it also developed more girth, by at least two more inches to be exact.
Peter's ass then grew considerably, leaving him with a bouncy bubble butt.
Almost simultaneously, Peter's nipples grew larger in diameter, and their pinkish tone changed to a light brown one.
Suddenly as Peter's skin continued developing a yellowish huge he felt like his eyes were being pulled at the sides, what was actually happening was that Peter's eyes changed into a slightly almond-shaped form, his eye color changed too as it went from a light hazel tone to a dark brown one.
This was followed by the sudden straightening and increased thinness of Peter's nose, then his lips became smaller, and his facial structure changed dramatically giving him a more oriental look.
-"这……这不可能……" (This...This is impossible...) Xi said as he observed the hung Han Chinese man in front of him.
-"不可能，但现在才刚刚开始，在这个阶段，总统先生，我们几乎完成了这个过程，现在主题已经转变为一个基因纯正的汉人" (It was impossible, but now it's just the beginning, at this stage Mr. President we're almost done with the process, right now the subject has transitioned into a genetically pure Han Chinese man) The scientist said as he started typing more commands into the computer. -"是时候一劳永逸地完成这一切了……" (Time to finish this once and for all...)
Before Peter had the chance to catch his breath from the previous transformation he suddenly felt live lava was flowing through his veins.
-"Fuck!" He screamed out loud as his body collapsed into the floor, this was followed by more cries of help as new pounds of muscle suddenly materialized all over Peter's body.
His arms were now the host of large biceps, muscled lower arms, and thick vein-like structures that made both of his arms look like jungle trees, arms that were connected to more bulging and stronger shoulders.
-"Stop!" Peter cried again as his chest experienced an outwards explosion of muscle giving him two large pecs that bounced up and down with each hard breath he took into his body
His abdomen then cracked and expanded slightly as a defined six-pack grew into existence where his large belly once was, this was also complemented by the more V-shaped body Peter now possessed.
Another loud crack was produced by Peter's body as his back grew larger muscles, especially in the area close towards his new larger shoulders.
His larger butt then developed more muscle as the effects of the nanobots cruised downwards into Peter's legs which at this point couldn't help him stand up thanks to them being unable to cope with his more muscled and heavier upper body.
Because of this the nanobots quickly stimulated the muscles in Peter's legs making them grow larger, this was made pretty evident as his calves became the size of boulders, and his thighs became as wide as his head was.
Lastly, Peter's feet grow slightly larger, with this out of the way any pain, discomfort, or heat Peter was feeling quickly went away as the dozens of nanobots all over his body become mostly dormant, except for the ones that had attached themselves to his brain.
-"What is this?" Peter said in his slightly deeper voice as he touched his new skin and slowly got up from the white floor.
The men in the observation area had gotten up from their seats and were sticking their faces at the window that separated them from their being of interest, the subject that had changed from a typical American businessman to a Chinese hunk.
He was perfect, he looked like one of the men in the CCP's propaganda posters, the mythical and superior Han Chinese man, masculine and fertile.
Contrary to any other stereotypes of Chinese men, the man in front of them had muscles everywhere, from head to toe, his dick was as large as a water hose and his oriental facial features shined with the soft glow of the lights of the room.
-"习主席你能跟我来吗"(President Xi could you please follow me?" Asked Dr. Ling as he grabbed a tablet that was previously connected to the central computer.
-"是的……当然……"(Yes... Sure...) Xi said as he followed the scientist out of the room with his bodyguards not being far behind.
After walking for a while the men arrived at a large door, next to said door was Zhang who was leaning next to the wall smoking a cigarette.
-"阿张很高兴见到你..."(A Zhang is nice to see you...) Dr. Ling said as he shook hands with Zhang.
-"快乐都是我的!" (The pleasure is all mine!) Zhang said as he looked over Dr. Ling's shoulder and saluted President Xi.
-"凌博士是谁" (Who is the man Dr. Ling?) Xi asked as Zhang had stopped saluting him.
-"就是这个人让今天的事情成为可能，作为交换，我们给了他丰厚的报酬，从今天开始，他将有一个新的儿子……" (This is the man that made what happened today possible, in exchange we paid him a hefty reward, and from today forwards he will have a new son...) Dr. Ling responded as he pressed a few buttons on the tablet which made the large door open with an almost quiet hissing noise.
This noise obviously startled Peter who covered his private area quickly which was no use as his dick was so large that his hands weren't able to cover it completely.
-"No need to be ashamed Peter..." Dr. Ling said in English as the door closed behind him.
-"What... What happened, what did you do to me?" Peter asked fully knowing that whatever happened to him it was the scientists fault.
-"You won't have to worry about those questions soon..." Dr. Ling said as he pressed a red button on the tablet.
-"Now Peter I want you to tell me, in front of our great leader, what do you think of China?"
Peter looked at the man next to Dr. Ling who he had previously mocked all over his social media.
-"I think your country is authoritarian, inhuman, and oppressive" Peter said wholeheartedly with no doubt.
-"Are you sure?" Dr. Ling asked
-"Yes I am... China doesn't have democracy, you'd do whatever to fulfill your goals, I mean look what you did to me!" Peter shouted angrily -"And oppressive as one can't say or even think certain things..."
-"I think that you'll reconsider your thoughts about our glorious nation soon enough..." Dr. Ling said as Peter started feeling dizzy and his head developed a headache.
-"No stop, what are you doing!" Peter cried as his headache became unbearable.
-"Where just making you like us..." Dr. Ling said as Peter collapsed into the floor because of the pain, he then proceeded to fall unconscious.
-"Mr. President this might take a while..." Was the last thing Peter heard as his eyes fully closed and his mind started being attacked by the nanobots.
----------------------------------------------------------
Peter startled himself awake, everything around him was black as the darkest night, the only thing Peter could point out of the vast darkness was the presence of a large and simple mirror that was conveniently situated right in front of him.
-"Get up!" A heavily accented voice said in English
-"Who are you?" Peter asked in fear -"Show yourself!"
-"Come to the mirror now!" The voice said again, for some reason Peter quickly found himself following this command as he was now standing in front of the mirror which showed his new Chinese self, yet there was something off with the reflection.
-"Look at you..." Peter's reflection said -"All lost and confused"
-"What the hell!" Peter shouted as he jumped backwards.
After this, the reflection laughs like your typical evil villain -"There is no reason to be afraid Peter, you are me or will become me in a short time..."
-"Never!" Peter screamed with newfound determination as the void around him seemed to become much more claustrophobic.
-"Oh but I know that you will..." The reflection said as an almost quiet choir started playing, the music that was calmly echoing through Peter's surroundings was the one and only Chinese anthem.
-"You don't want to accept it but your already me in physical terms..." The reflection said -"Give up your mind as well, give it up to a greater cause that matters more than you as an individual"
-"No!" Peter responded as the music poured into his ears and foreign words started forming on his tongue and mind.
-"Yes..." The reflection said -"You are Chinese, you were born here, you owe everything to the nation, to the party, to the leader, accept these truths and be at peace..."
Peter's head was suddenly attacked by memories of being born in a small village to two poor parents, when he was five the village was pretty much rebuilt by the government, and his dad, Mr. Zhang, was offered a job shuttling high-ranking CCP officials in Beijing.
-"No I wasn't born in China! I was born in America!" Peter said while fighting for his identity.
-"You weren't, how can you say such blasphemy, you born in the imperialist's homeland? The reflection countered -"You were born in the land of the people who rose up and refused to be slaves, the land where people are united and loyal to the party, the land that gave you education and opportunities!".
More memories this time of going to school in Beijing entered Peter's brain, he was an excellent student in every class, so much so that the party offered him benefits at a young age which made him appreciate the CCP more with each passing year, to that you also have to add that he loved history and during classes, he enjoyed showing off as he knew about everything there was to know about China, the country he loved and treasured, another thing the new Peter excelled at was sports, especially in basketball thanks to his taller than average height, he received hundreds of awards and trophies during his time at school, he even had the chance to travel all over the country and experience the greatness of it.
After graduating from high school he took the infamous geiko exam in which he scored enough to enter the most prestigious college in China.
-"See what your nation has given you?" The reflection asked -"The things it gave you made you extremely patriotic, before entering college you decided to first fulfill your patriotic duty and complete your military service, after it was over you left the barracks with more discipline, muscle, and pride for your homeland.
The more the reflection talked the more Peter felt like the life it was describing was his, he could recall graduating from college early thanks to his smarts and becoming a field engineer in the military.
-"Let your old imperialist pig life go away, embrace China, embrace the new you, embrace me..." The reflection said as the Chinese anthem was now echoing loudly all over the place, its lyrics and music became embedded into Peter's mind, its imposing yet soft music broke him from the inside in no time
The lyrics which at this point Peter couldn't understand slowly started to make sense as the Mandarin language surged into his head.
With each loop the anthem made not only did Peter lose another part of his old self but he also received even more knowledge of Mandarin, so much so that he could now understand every word of the anthem.
-"请我不要这个!" (Please I don't want this!) Peter said now in fluent Mandarin, he yelped in surprise once he noticed this but the reflection in the mirror quickly tried to reassure him that there was nothing wrong with this.
-"别担心，彼得，您现在可以说世界上最美丽、最富有诗意的语言，这种语言从一开始就被有远见的人使用，他们的贡献推动了我们的国家和人民走向未来" (Don't worry Peter, you are now able to speak the most beautiful and poetic language in the world, a language that was used since its inception by visionaries whose contributions advanced our nation and people into the future) The reflection said.
-"但是我不会说普通话，我会说英语!" (But I don't speak Mandarin, I speak English!) Peter said in a low tone as his mind was now almost under the reflection's control.
-"但是你当然会说英语，毕竟你要怎么和美国狗交流，但你说英语的时候总有一种不好的感觉，就像你用垃圾语言说出卖了你的人一样，但不用担心，总有一天，普通话将成为国际语言，而英语将只不过是一种语言，沦为一小群肮脏的猪，躲避我们伟大的国家!" (But of course you speak English, after all, how are you going to communicate with the American dogs, yet you always get a bad feeling when you speak it, like your betraying your people by speaking in a garbage language, but don't worry, there shall be a day when Mandarin will be the international language while English will be nothing more than a language relegated to a small group of dirty pigs in hiding from our great nation!).
By this point, Peter's mental fight had been won by the reflection, any ounce of resistance had been eliminated as a patriotic and totalitarian Chinese point of view hijacked Peter's mind.
As the anthem began a new loop Peter found himself singing each verse and word with the utmost pride and joy, as he did this the room around him suddenly turned a shiny white and he fell unconscious again.
----------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Ling stood back as the beast of a man in front of him rose up from the floor, every move it made was sharp and calculated just like that of a perfectly tuned machine.
When the man who was once Peter saw that President Xi was in the room with him, a sense of duty and servitude immediately rushed into his mind making him salute while standing perfectly straight.
-"很荣幸见到习主席!" (It's an honor to meet you President Xi!) The man said in Chinese without any shame as his large dick stood fully erect.
Dr. Ling almost chuckled at the shocked expression President Xi had on his face as he saluted back to the man while trying to look away from the enlarged dick and heavy set of balls he had between his legs.
As President Xi stopped saluting the man quickly did the same as he stood straighter than before and waited for orders or questions.
-"你觉得彼得怎么样?" (How do you feel Peter?) Dr. Ling asked as he started filling up a checklist on his tablet.
-"你一定误会了，我叫程子豪" (You must be mistaken, my name is Cheng Zihao) Cheng said without any doubt in his voice.
Check...
-"好的，程，你能告诉我你出生在哪里吗?" (Okay Cheng, could you please tell me where you were born?) Dr. Ling continued.
-"我出生在北京市，更具体地说是在离北京大约一个小时车程的一个小村庄里" (I was born in Beijing Municipality, more specifically in a small village about an hour away from Beijing proper)
Check...
-"你确定吗，我以为你出生在美国?" (Are you sure, I thought you were born in America?)
Cheng loudly scoffed -"不，我绝对出生在中国" (No I was definitely born in China) Cheng said in a monotone manner.
-"说到这里，你怎么看美国?" (Now that were talking about this, what do you think of America?) Dr. Ling inquired.
Cheng's facial expressions immediately transformed from relaxed to angry once he heard the word "America".
-"这是一个猪和帝国主义者的土地，他们一直在破坏我们伟大的国家和人民，他们应该被安置并被遗忘" (It's a land of pigs and imperialists that have always undermined our great nation and its people, they should be put in their place and destroyed into oblivion) Cheng said without skipping a beat, his voice full of contempt and anger, the sole mention of anything related to the USA would push him even further into wanting a war, after all his superior nation and the huge army he was a part of would surely encircle Washington D.C. in less than a week, cementing the victory of China and it's system that was so dear to him.
Check...
-"你在哪里工作?" (Where do you work?)
-"我在军队工作..." (I work in the military...) Cheng said slightly puzzled, wasn't he there as a representative of the military, a representative who was supposed to go under some weird tests? Shouldn't the scientist in front of already know that?
Check...
-"别担心问题，程" (Don't worry about the questions, Cheng) Dr. Ling said as he noticed Cheng's doubtful expression -"我们对你进行的测试可能会暂时模糊你的记忆，但不要担心不会发生任何不好的事情......" (The test we ran on you may blurry your memories momentary but don't worry nothing bad will happen...).
After hearing this Cheng immediately relaxed -"这家伙是一个非常重要的与中共合作的科学家，我为什么不相信他？毕竟中共是不会撒谎的……" (This guy is a very important scientist that works with the CCP, why shouldn't I trust him? The CCP would never lie after all...) Cheng thought as Dr. Ling continued with his list of questions.
-"那边的男人是谁?" (Who is the man over there?) Dr Ling said ad he pointed at Zhang.
-"他是我亲爱的父亲" (He's my dear father) Cheng said which made Zhang smile and slightly cry as a small group of tears flowed from his eyes.
Check...
-"最后……你怎么看中华人民共和国?" (And for last... What do you think about the People's Republic Of China?).
-"它是世界上最伟大的国家!" (That it is the greatest nation in the world!) Cheng said proudly knowing that he was a citizen of the growing red dragon.
Check...
-"中共呢?" (What about the CCP?) Dr. Ling added
-"中共让中国伟大，它是全中国人民的党，它给我们每个人带来了更多的繁荣和平等，我将永远忠于党和它的英明领导" (The CCP made China great, it's the party of all the Chinese people and it has brought more prosperity and equality to every one of us, I'll always be loyal and obedient to the party and its wise leadership) Cheng said as he put a hand in his heart and screamed from the top of his lungs -"红色的思想和身体!" (RED IN MIND AND BODY!)
Check...
-"好吧，士兵，我想就这些了，请跟着你父亲到附近的洗手间，在那里你会换上你的临时衣服，并在接下来的二十四小时内接受医疗监督，以检查一切是否按计划进行" (Well soldier I think that will be all, please follow your father to the nearby bathroom, there you will change into your temporary clothes and stay here under medical supervision for the next twenty-four hours in order to check that everything went on as planned) Dr. Ling said as he turned off his tablet.
-"是的先生!" (Yes Sir!) Chang barked as he started walking away with his father close by his side, a female nurse quickly appeared next to the door of the room with a towel in hand so that Chang could cover himself, once Chang had covered himself and had winked at the nurse both he and his father left leaving Dr. Ling and President Xi alone in the room.
-"那太不可思议了!" (That was incredible!) President Xi finally said as his mind tried to understand everything that had happened in the past couple of minutes.
-"我很高兴你喜欢它，先生!" (I'm pleased that you liked it, Sir!) Dr. Ling said rather calmly while on the inside he was loudly celebrating, his life's work had paid off.
-"他还记得什么吗?" (Does he remember anything?) Xi asked intrigued
-"那是伟大的事情，他没有，即使他有一天记得他曾经是谁也没关系，因为他脑海中的纳米机器人将永远留在那里，准备好压制任何不合时宜的想法，而其余的随着时间的推移，纳米机器人将化为虚无" (That's the great thing, he doesn't, even if he one day remembers who he once was it won't matter as the nanobots in his mind will stay there forever ready to suppress any thoughts that go out of line while the rest of the nanobots will dissolve into nothingness as time goes on).
-"这改变了游戏规则……有了这项技术，我们将统治世界!" (This is a game-changer... With this technology, we shall rule the world!) President Xi remarked in a villainous voice as Dr. Ling lightly smiled knowing that he had done his part to secure the existence and world dominance of China, his homeland.

Hey! Long time no see, I know that I haven't been as active but I've been busy with college assignments and projects almost every week since I entered in January, this story is the result of me having a few free minutes where I wrote whatever I could, with that out of the way I want to say that I don't condone the CCP and it's actions in any way (Love China, love the people, the government is a whole other thing...), if something this story is more of a parody (Seeing the Chinese government propaganda in political discourse class stayed with me and I wanted to use it and make it even sillier with this story), anyway I hope I'm not giving the CCP any ideas 😬...
As always stay safe and enjoy!
