To a Certain Few: Being Able to Encounter a Rule-Abiding KangAi Commune Is Your Great Fortune!
Being able to encounter KangAi Commune, with its rigorous review and unyielding bottom line, is your good fortune!
Some members complain freely that KangAi Commune's review is harsh, the required materials cumbersome, and the application experience poor. We admit these problems exist—but they are necessary and, for now, cannot be overcome. What chills and enrages us is that some members, after smoothly receiving their mutual aid money, turn around and curse the Commune; others, having already enjoyed mutual aid, turn around and file malicious complaints, falsely accusing the Commune of fraud; and some, because their own application was rejected according to the rules, nurse a grudge and retaliate out of spite, smearing and slandering us everywhere. Such despicable conduct is too numerous to count.
This disorder is truly infuriating and deeply disheartening. I want to state solemnly to everyone: KangAi Commune's insistence on strict review and its adherence to the rules has never been a weakness; it is the most precious conviction and the greatest responsibility toward all members!
Every one of us, without exception, detests favoritism, bending the rules for personal connections, and disregard for the rules, and despises conduct with no bottom line and no principle. Yet the moment it comes to ourselves, we apply a double standard and complain that the review is heartless and the experience poor?
We admit that most applicants act in good faith, but today mutual aid fraud, concealment of medical history, and false applications are endless, and opportunists are everywhere! If we were to relax the review, loosen the standards, go through the motions, and hand out exceptions freely, with what could we face the thousands upon thousands of ordinary members who keep their word in good faith, actively contribute, and quietly hold the line? How could we account to everyone who trusts the Commune?
Before the rules, everyone is equal; there are no exceptions. Never mind ordinary members—even I, as the head of the Commune, should I apply for aid in the future, the review standard would only be stricter and the requirements only higher. I cherish my own reputation, and all the more the original intent the Commune has held for many years; I want every sum of mutual aid money to withstand verification, scrutiny, and the test of time and of all members!
Our strict review is never about deliberately building a lofty image, still less about posturing as noble; it is simply the most basic bottom line of conduct!
Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. Once principles are abandoned and the rules loosened, the entire mutual aid system will only fall into utter chaos and collapse, and in the end what suffers is every member who sincerely takes part in mutual aid. We uphold strict rules not for empty fame, but for fairness and justice, and to safeguard the original intent and bottom line of mutual aid.
Finally, I warn all who maliciously smear, apply double standards, or retaliate out of spite: the harsh review you disdain is precisely your fortune and your safeguard. If you seek to hold the rules hostage to your personal desires, to suppress and bring down KangAi Commune through malicious complaints and baseless smears, then we will make no concession and give no ground—we will see it through to the end!
