Naaaahhh... that last one didn't work so well. Let me try to other pill and see if I can get better results:
Comrade Wang was an upstanding party member who had long been known as a hard liner. He was a man who could be counted on to ram things through a committee. If anyone dared to raise an objection, he could always raise a bigger one. Even if it took all day and all night, he'd keep pounding and pounding until he was completely satisfied.
Some found him wooden. A few thought he was over-inflated. Many felt that he was too stiff. Others were happy that he was so solid where it really counted.
Until recently, he always upheld policies and made the firmest of decisions. Then he slowly started to become more flexible, acting more like a sapling than a mighty tree, falling to the side when he should be thrusting forward.
Finally, a cure was found. Comrade Wang has returned to rigidly lifting the party's banner.
