I never realized that bureaucratism (管僚主義) hated criticism so much until I myself was taught a good lesson by some bureaucrats.

高考英語閱讀訓練（026）

One sunny morning, I went to a high－level organization to report on some business. 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 (語氣), 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 (壓抑) since I entered the office.

“Good criticism (批評),” the chief smiled and left.

That was “bad” criticism, bad for me, as later I was told that my report was turned down. I was beaten by bureaucratism.

I learned the lesson: bureaucratism hates criticism. It seems that I need to learn more about the battle against that ugly social evil (弊病).
