在现实远比小说精彩的年代

Bloodline changed the vest and came back

Two days ago, when I woke up in the morning, I saw that Llosa's book had been removed from the shelves on Dangdang.com. I couldn't help but post in the WeChat Moments: Has Llosa's book been removed from the shelves? Are you crazy.

20 minutes later, my mother texted me on WeChat: If Llosa is irresponsible, it will damage the dignity of China. Don't ask questions casually in the circle of friends.

I replied: what he said had nothing to do with the books he wrote. This is even sitting, Picasso's books can be burned, he is a scumbag who plays with women; Camus's books can also be sealed, he once resolutely opposed communism.

Mom: Who doesn't know this truth? Need you to call?

I don't blame her, she is almost 80 years old and has experienced many political movements including the Cultural Revolution; she doesn't care about Llosa, in fact, she only cares about whether I will be arrested for speaking in the circle of friends. It's only my fault that I was quick when I made a hair ring and forgot to block her.

I remember when our little friend was in the second grade of elementary school, one day I went to pick him up from school, and on the way home he suddenly said, "Mom, the Japanese are all bad, they all deserve to die."

I'm surprised that we never talked to him about this topic, it must have been spread among the younger classmates. I asked, "Why?"

"Because the Japanese have killed many, many Chinese, so the Japanese deserve to die," he said.

I said, "That was when the Japanese invaded China, many years ago. If you want revenge, you should seek revenge from the Japanese who killed the Chinese, shouldn't the other Japanese also die? If there is a small town in Japan now Boy, he's the same age as you, and he's as cute as you, and he's also a squadron leader, and he can play the violin, so just because he's Japanese, does he deserve to die?"

The child widened his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "No."

I said, "Yes, whether a person is a good person or a bad person does not depend on whether he is Japanese or Chinese. There are good people and bad people in every country, do you think that's right?"

He nodded.

Look, this is a truth that a seven- or eight-year-old child can understand: a person's good or bad is not determined by his nationality, but by his behavior. Likewise, one cannot deny the whole country to which one belongs because of his wrongdoing. Isn't this common sense? Why do I think such a common sense is beginning to sink in the world? Why is it that we can see the same parties fighting against differences everywhere now, and people turn against each other because of their different views, completely forgetting that there is another word called seeking common ground while reserving differences?

Llosa said an inaccurate/incorrect word = his book is also all wrong = if you are a Chinese, don't read his book? = You just don't love your country after reading his book?

Some/some American said something insulting to China = All Americans would insult China = America is the worst country?

Some Chinese are vulgar and unethical when they travel abroad = all Chinese are uncivilized = is China a country with poor quality?

Just a few days ago, March 5th, was the anniversary of Yu Luo Ke's death. Under the circumstance that the topic of the epidemic was overwhelming, I still saw a few articles commemorating him. Does anyone remember encountering Rock today? Remember when he was killed for opposing ancestry? This barbaric and unreasonable slogan was believed by thousands of people, and how many people were beaten to the bottom of life because of their origin and blood. Today, everyone agrees that this sentence is illogical and full of unfair discrimination, so how can you accept that a person is judged by race, skin color, nationality, or gender? How can one judge the ethnic group and country to which a person belongs only based on his words and deeds? The logic of blood theory is the same as that of the Nazis. If "anti-Semitism is a sin" is already the consensus of the world, how can you be anti-American, anti-China or anti-Japanese? What do we commemorate every year to commemorate Yuluoke? Is it possible to commemorate him while treating others with the logic of the "blood theory" that he opposes?

A friend who immigrated to Canada for many years sent a sentence: Arguing about the origin of the virus is meaningless to the situation and only increases hatred and ignorance.

Take it for granted! No matter where the virus occurs, shouldn't the human community first join hands to fight together? Last night, the media were reporting Zhong Nanshan's latest remarks on the origin of the virus, highlighting what he said, "The fact that the epidemic happened in China does not mean that its source is in China." "It is irresponsible to draw conclusions without knowing it. ." The spearhead in these remarks, although pointed at those who say "the source is in China", isn't it pointing at those who say "the source is in the United States"? I watched the video, and I personally think that the most important sentence in Zhong Nanshan's speech was "(to verify the source of the virus) this matter is science, not politics."

Chatting with a friend in the United States on WeChat, I said, "Scientists trace the source for the sake of pathology. What's the point of these other people arguing like this? If the origin is in the United States, scold the Americans to death? If the origin is in China, scold the Americans. dead Chinese?"

She said: To verify the origin, it is still to determine who is responsible for this human epidemic.

I agree with her statement, I hadn't thought about it. She sent another article, a diary of the epidemic written by a Chinese in Seattle, USA, at the beginning, she said: "Chuan's big mouth tweeted, aroused public outrage and set back Sino-US relations by 40 years. Although the crooked tape became inflamed. People are wrong first, and the big issue of Weijiao is handled by the Weijiao staff. As a leader of a big country, it is too self-willed."

Written so right! I applaud her not because she blamed Trump, but because she pointed out an important truth: Responding to the wrong with the wrong will only make things worse. If you think it's wrong to dump the blame, then don't respond by dumping the blame. In that case, what's the difference between you and your opponent? Mistakes do not correct mistakes, hatred only incites hatred.

These days, I have seen the horror of hatred. I have seen a lot of narrow-mindedness and extreme nationalism in China, and now it seems that there are more in the West. Freedom, equality, and fraternity; I love my teacher, and I love truth even more; above the state, there is justice; don't all the citizens of the West grow up under such a good education? If people in the West have a sense of superiority in China, where does this sense of superiority come from? Not because they are rich, but because they come from a country that advocates freedom, equality and fraternity. When many of us here are still struggling with the shackles of ideological restraint and striving for freedom and equality, how can you begin to abandon these precious spiritual values?
