the British drama "Yes, Minister" has a good reputation and has been named one of the ten best shows in history by the British Film Academy. The play is mainly about a series of funny experiences that happened after the new minister Jim Hacker took office. It involves the conflict between the political system and the civil service system and alludes to the drawbacks and shadows of the British bureaucratic system. Jim Hacker, a politician who used to be a member of the shadow cabinet of the opposition party, became minister of administrative affairs after winning the election. Humphrey Appleby is the executive vice minister, permanent secretary, and the civil service leader of the department, with a cunning character and a black belly. Bernard Woolley is the minister's private secretary, seemingly simple and honest, but in fact, he looks foolish. Jim represents elected politicians, Humphrey represents full-time civil servants, and Bernard, sandwiched in the middle, presents a show of three men. Their relationship changes from time to time, breaking up each other and cooperating, and all kinds of British humorous scenes emerge one after another. As soon as the play was broadcast in 1980, it was well-received by the audience and sought after by politicians. Even the then British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher paid close attention to the play, who starred in a play with Paul Eddington and Nigel Hawthorne at the National Viewers and Listeners Awards awards ceremony. This play is also the favorite British play of the Iron Lady Thatcher during her 11-year tenure as prime minister.

the lines of Humphrey in the play are extremely incisive. Casually sorted out, they are all at the level of British news broadcasts. Among them, he accurately analyzed why Britain pursued a policy of glorious isolation and even predicted the current scenario: "British foreign policy has not changed for 500 years, creating a divided Europe." So I joined hands with the Netherlands to make Spain, Germany to make France, France, and Italy make Germany, and France to make Germany and Italy. Divide and rule, you see, it has always worked very well, why should it be changed? It worked in the past, and it still is. We have to split the European Community. We have exerted external forces but to no avail. Now let's join the European Community and stir it into a pot of porridge. We can pick Germany against France, France against Italy, and Italy against Holland. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is overjoyed, and the glory days are back. "
