Avoid the topic by misinterpreting the original meaning

Grasp the flexibility of the other party's question itself, misinterpret the original intention of the question, and make a seemingly satisfactory answer.

Although some questions of the questioner have strong pertinence, the setting of the questions is not strict. They often only give a general scope and limit. When people answer, they can make a big deal in this wide range. For this kind of question, we should seize its own flexibility, deliberately misinterpret the other party's original intention, and only give superficial and sound answers that meet the requirements. The other party's own loopholes have been exploited, so naturally we can't blame us for not answering the question.

At a press conference, a foreign reporter asked Wang Meng with ulterior motives, "what are the similarities and differences between you in the 1950s and you in the 1980s?" Here, the reporter's intention is well known. Wang Meng was also very clear at that time. He calmly raised his head and calmly replied, "my name was Wang Meng in the 1950s, and I was also Wang Meng in the 1980s. This is the same thing. The difference is that I was in my 20s at that time. Now I'm in my 50s. "

This is a vivid example of catching each other's omissions and deliberately misinterpreting each other's intentions. Although Wang Meng knew that the other side wanted him to talk about his feelings about the changes in China's domestic situation, he deliberately misunderstood his original intention and only answered from the perspective of his own age. Although this answer can be regarded as "qualified", it does not really give the other party any useful information, which greatly disappointed him.
