Someone said: "Swiping the screen is an emotion, and emotions have no value."

I saw some social platforms and some groups, some people mentioned this screen-swiping incident, and only saw emotions, and emotions have no price or meaning.

I think maybe you will be full of anger when you see such comments, and even want to pick up the keyboard and respond to these seemingly "indifferent" commenters.

In fact, when I saw these comments, my first emotional reaction was uncomfortable, after all, I was also the retweeter, the relay.

Because I always think that if you want a rotten thing to be rectified and dealt with, the only thing you can do as an ordinary person is to bravely "speak" and fight against the invisible hand.

If it is said that the voice is loud enough and the emotions are strong enough to allow the upper levels to hear or see the real grievances, pains, sorrows and protests of the people, and to speed up the ruling process of the matter, then what is wrong with doing so?

Besides, I don't think the above behaviors only stop at the so-called video manipulation and emotional incitement level. Behind the reposting and relaying actions is a firm statement. Compared with doing nothing, the simplest reposting is not. Should it?

But looking back, I don't want to criticize or even accuse them of being "cold-blooded". After all, tearing is meaningless. On the contrary, I prefer to look at these seemingly "indifferent" and "unreasonable" words from another perspective.

In fact, I stared at their words and pondered for a long time.

I have been thinking about what they want to express behind their "indifference"?

I feel that human hearts are made of flesh, especially in the face of many infuriating things recently, friends who may not necessarily say these words are really so indifferent. So, what is the subtext of "emotions are meaningless and worthless" they mentioned?

I have been in Lima for a while, and I have re-read several historical interpretations of the last century several times. I have read some historical stories from 1958 to 1982 and other periods, especially Wen Tiejun, Gao Hua and others on contemporary history. analyze.

From the many tragedies that have happened in the past, I realized that if it weren't for this incident in Shanghai, I would be just a person full of coolness and selfishness, because people are really "forgetful" creatures.

Some friends said in the circle of friends that today's screen brushing is exactly the same as the whistleblower brushing screen two years ago, but if it wasn't for their reminder, I would not take the initiative to think of the tragedies that happened in the historical river.

Before I left Shanghai, I had a good time in Shanghai. Every day, I can go out to exercise, go to a cafe to read, and occasionally ride a bicycle in the area of Hengshan Road, watching the phoenix trees on both sides of the street move with the wind, feeling the sun bathing my whole body, and closing my eyes, I can smell the beauty of this city. The breath of the air, about three or five friends, sitting along the street in the bar street near the French Concession, drinking and talking happily, so happy.

The circle of friends and social platforms are peaceful and peaceful, exuding the fragrance of small freshness and literature and art, surrounded by a strong feeling of happiness. If you accuse me of exuding the breath of a little bourgeois, I will not argue with you.

But at that time, it was only a year before the outbreak of the whistleblower and the Wuhan epidemic. It was only a year. When the environment I was in did not feel any threat to me, when the sword of Damocles did not hang on me. On the top of my head, the four words "time is quiet" constitute my daily life.

I am not in Wuhan, nor have I experienced the terrible period of the Wuhan epidemic. I am not in Xi'an, and I cannot understand the feelings of the people of Xi'an when the city is closed. When I read the report, I will feel sad and happy for the people who are suffering. Sadness, but after a few days, the news gradually faded away. I still began to live a life of "quiet time", and the "anger" was only driven by the news at that time.

It's like the girl in chains who disappeared from people's eyes for a long time. I don't know what happened to her in the follow-up. It seems that I want to find some relevant reports, but they are all in vain. Like the MU5735 air accident, if it was n't for the "Nothing Said" accident investigation report that He Caitou took the initiative to write yesterday, it specifically mentioned:

"But then I thought, maybe I'm overthinking it. Those who say 'nothing to say' today will probably not care about it a few years later when the accident report is finally released. They really care about the cause of the accident. They have a lot of things to do every day.”

I almost forgot about it.

When I saw this part, I was really ashamed.

Similarly, if everything today did not happen in Shanghai, even in an inconspicuous city in any inconspicuous province, perhaps we would not have this level of attention and concern today, but it is Shanghai, a city with A world-famous international metropolis with a population of more than 20 million.

A short film can carry and express our anger today, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? a month? two months? Or a year? two years?

Will the dust of history sooner or later cast heavy ashes on these true and tragic stories that happened around you and me? It's like there are many sad, regretful, and tearful stories in the long history of less than a hundred years before us, but as long as the time is long enough, the heat of information gradually dissipates, and the distance between you and me is getting farther and farther. Will you take the initiative to think about and care about it?

The day before yesterday, I posted a status on the social platform as follows-

After listening to the lecture given by Professor Gao Hua of NTU, he mentioned at the end that "contemporary people have many difficulties in cultivating contemporary history":

First, the difficulty is related to the data, because doing historical research is different from being a commentator on current affairs. A little data can be extravagant. Historical materials must be based on solid and corroborated historical materials that have been examined and changed. If a large number of materials are still hidden in the inner secrets of the Great Neighborhood, it will be difficult to study.

Second, it is subject to our human subjectivity. We live in the middle of this era, and we ourselves have strong emotions. For example, I ask myself to restrain myself, but whether I can restrain myself or not requires constant reminders to myself.

Third, the things and people we talk about are too close to today, and many of them involve interests and interests. For example, the descendants of some historical figures are still there, and the children and grandchildren are still there, so the feelings and positions of the children and grandchildren are definitely different from me. I regard him as a historical figure, and I don’t have the established love for him or not. Attitudes are different, and a lot of stakes are involved.

But Gao Hua mentioned that, after all, it is the 21st century, we strive for such a space, and historical research can still be done. Although it has been ten years since he passed away, it is still quite sad to look back on this sentence. Maybe there is room, but maybe not now.

I remembered that when I wrote an article about the epidemic, someone would reply, "Only Shanghai is like this, other places are fine." When I mentioned the names of several provinces and regions, the other party replied: "I also I didn't see that the areas you mentioned were serious on the Internet."

Later, I didn't reply. After all, what can be seen is only what can be seen, and those who cannot be seen can naturally have more ways not to be seen. It's just that you choose "rice" to feed you, or you can find it yourself.

Thinking of the famous movie star Ruan Lingyu of the last century, the suicide note left by her suicide at the age of 25 was only revealed 60 years later, and the suicide note was completely forged by her husband, after all, it involved a stake.

Therefore, in the contemporary era, it seems to be very close to the truth, but it can also be far away from the truth. It is precisely when the distance is far enough that the history of the past can be taken out by later generations for serious evaluation, and deception, forgery, and cover-up often occurred in similar eras.

In another one or two hundred years, it is unclear how future generations will evaluate today, but perhaps many topics that cannot be discussed can be carefully brought out and generously analyzed and evaluated as historical materials.

However, I always believe that the times will develop in a better direction, and the cost of covering up is actually quite high today, and the number of people who are enlightened will also increase, saying a funny "being a friend of time".

Writing this paragraph, I also want to respond to the "emotion" mentioned this time.

Literature, film and television works can be thought-provoking, emotional, moving, and tear-jerking, and the endless "This article cannot be viewed" can also arouse the anger of a group, and thus protest more and more strongly.

The emotional surging of the moment itself is understandable and normal. In my eyes, expressing one's emotions is not a meaningless or even worthless thing. Behind the emotions, there are often many problems that need to be solved urgently.

However, if you just stay in the cathartic layer of emotions, or even fall into an extreme emotional state, then I personally think that for the improvement of the epidemic, for helping friends and myself, it will not help, but it is easy to fall into another situation. A kind of stubbornness.

Some people are in grief, some people are carnival. Sympathizers, spoilers, bystanders, victims... are all in this vortex. Behind the same behavior, there are different motives.

I hope that no matter the injustice and evil in the future, even if it falls in an unremarkable small town, I can bravely stand up and speak out for those specific people, not abstract numbers;

I hope that no matter whether the difficulties come to me or not, whether or not I have an interest in myself, I will no longer stay out of it with a silent attitude;

I hope that no matter how long it has been since the incident happened, when reminiscing about the past, I can always soberly remember the tragedy and glory that happened in the long history.

"Swiping the screen" and "forwarding" may be able to make something be noticed and solved, but if you really hope that a society and a country can become stronger and stronger, it is precisely behind the need to keep a lot of real history in your heart, and go liberally. Show those faults instead of taking a fig leaf.

We live in this era, can we not forget something? Can you take the initiative to explore some truths and discover the essence and ins and outs behind things? It's not that others feed information to your mouth, and if you eat it, you will eat it, and if you haven't eaten it, it will be regarded as not happening. This is something we need to remind ourselves all the time.

I just hope that today you can firmly remember what happened in these days, whether it is the glorious human nature or the tragic story, remember how you feel at the moment, remember why you turned.

Over time, when you mention this matter again, you will be able to narrate today's story without understatement, just like those important historical events that have been instilled in your mind, deeply etched in your mind. mind and make a change in action.

Don't let the cold and selfish inferiority dilute the blood in you today.
