> But before ten seconds were out, Ah Q would also walk away, fully satisfied and fully victorious, for he was convinced that of all the "self-putdown artists" this old world has seen, he was number one. Take away "self-putdown artist" and what did you have left? Number one--that's what! (Lyell)
> In less than ten seconds, however, Ah Q would walk away also satisfied that he had won, thinking that he was the “Number One self-belittler,” and that after subtracting “self-belittler” what remained was “Number One.” (Yangs)
> And yet within ten seconds, Ah-Q had set jubilantly off on his own way. He was now the top self-abaser in China, and once you'd discarded the inconvenient 'self-abaser', you were left with 'top'- (Lovell)
