“According to the Management Division, the use of matches was limited to one box every two months, but Old Tong used only three matches in the past six months. In the past three years, six towels have been distributed, but he used only one of them. This year, the government gave an extra one for him as a reward, so he still has six towels. In the past two years, four shirts, four pairs of sandals, and two pairs of cotton-padded shoes have been distributed, but he still has three new shirts, a new pair of trousers, and three new sandals. He also economizes the use of soap, giving away two cakes and keeping five.”
(管理科規定兩個月用一盒洋火，可是老佟半年只用了三根火柴。三年來發了六條毛巾，他只用了一條，今年公家獎勵了他一條，現在還是六條毛巾。兩年來發了四套襯衣，四雙草鞋，兩雙棉鞋，他現在還有三件新上衣，一條新褲子，兩雙新草鞋，公家發給他的肥皂也節省使用，送人二塊，還存五塊。)
