Abe Shinzo died, mainland netizens turned on the carnival mode, Hu Xijin ended up fighting the fire

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot and taken to the hospital during a speech in Nara City on the morning of the 8th. It is reported that he was still conscious in the ambulance, but later showed a state of cardiac and pulmonary function stops. On the afternoon of the same day, NHK reported that Shinzo Abe died of serious injuries at the age of 67. The news of Abe's assassination quickly made it to the mainland's Weibo hot search list, and the topic of discussion was high. Except for a few rational netizens who regretted Abe's attack, the vast majority of netizens turned on the "carnival" mode. Some people said they wanted to celebrate, set off firecrackers, and have dinner together. In response to the applause of Chinese netizens, Hu Xijin, the former editor-in-chief of the Global Times, called on netizens to put political entanglements aside first, but was instead bombarded with "hypocrisy".

According to the Japan Broadcasting Association NHK, at about 11:30 a.m. Japan time on the 8th, Shinzo Abe was at the north exit of Kintetsu Yamato Saidaiji Station in Nara City to help the Liberal Democratic Party Senate election candidate when he was killed by a 41-year-old Nara Prefecture man. Toru was also shot at. Abe was then picked up by helicopter for first aid.

In the evening, Hideken Fukushima, a professor at the Nara Medical University Affiliated Hospital, who gave first aid to Abe, held a press conference and said that Shinzo Abe died of medical treatment. He had 2 gunshot wounds on his neck, and the cause of death was massive blood loss.

According to reports, Toru Yamagami, the 41-year-old suspect who attempted the murder, was arrested and claimed that he had the idea of killing because of his dissatisfaction with Abe.

The death of Shinzo Abe shocked the whole world. Politicians from many countries, while severely condemning terrorism, expressed their shock and dismay at the assassination of Abe. On the mainland, the Internet has become a sea of carnivals. As of 6 p.m. Japan time, 9 of the top 10 Weibo searches were topics related to Abe's assassination. Although there are many comments about people who care about or try to discuss the incident, there are more comments about "celebration" and "carnival".

According to observations, the sources of Chinese netizens' "schadenfreude" are roughly divided into two levels. One is aimed at Abe himself, including his past visits to the Yasukuni Shrine and his remarks on Taiwan's friends; the other is aimed at Japan, including Avoiding responsibility for war, failing to apologize to China, etc.

The most common messages were "Congratulations from the people of XX (the name of the mainland)", "I hope someone has something to do", "Let's go out for a drink together"; and some netizens said, "To eat at a Japanese restaurant tonight, treat it as a meal. seat".

Some netizens even quoted the lyrics of Eason Chan's song "The Lonely Brave", "Who said that standing in the light is a hero", and praised the gunman Toruya Yamagami, calling him an "anti-Japanese hero".

Some netizens posted a billboard in a bicycle shop, writing: "To celebrate the death of Shinzo Abe, buy a car today and get cycling gloves!!!".

Seeing the out-of-control remarks of mainland netizens aroused the attention of foreign media, Hu Xijin, the former editor-in-chief of the Communist Party's official media Global Times, went out to put out the fire, expressing sympathy for Abe's assassination, and at this time it was necessary to put aside the political entanglement with him. He also appealed as a journalist "I hope more people can understand and join my attitude."

Below this post, Hu Xijin has netizens who support him, calling for a calm and rational face of this incident, but more abuse and criticism. These remarks not only criticized Abe and Japan, but also called Hu Xijin's behavior "hypocritical."

In the face of the carnival mode of mainland netizens, the WeChat public account "Three Tables Dragon Gate Array" believes that the voices seen on Weibo cannot represent all Chinese netizens. He wrote: "I really don't want to admit that this is the average level of Chinese public opinion. Messages like this without empathy, cheering for the death of life, and cheering for terrorism, can always catch a lot of online platforms in any country... What should really be concerned about is the expression of the elite and the expression of the media , the expression of public figures, the expression of opinion leaders, they pay more attention to the moral responsibility of humanity, condemn terror, and warn the darkness, and should not go to the banquet with the carnival people, or even provoke them to go to the banquet.”

The WeChat public account "Wang Xu's Wang" said in a post, "Why is a group of people so happy when a person is shot and is in danger, like Fan Jinzhong rushing in the street, or five million falling from the sky, I can't resonate with this. Maybe it's just Because Shinzo Abe is Japanese and was once the Prime Minister of Japan. In my opinion, the Prime Minister of Japan, doctors, lawyers, and even cleaners are all just one type of work and one profession. A mascot, or just a screw, I don't know why there is such a strong hostility towards Abe."

"I don't care about the person who was shot, whether he was Shinzo Abe, or who, whether he was Japanese, or Chinese, or American, I just feel that a person was assassinated, which is a very unfortunate thing, I don't I will gloat at misfortune, and I will not be sad, but I feel very sympathetic, which is the most simple state of mind to be born with."

The author said, "I don't know what kind of mentality they have, what kind of factors make them have only hatred in their hearts, but lack a little pity, and what happened to them. , will grow into such a life form... Interestingly, almost every time, behind a foreign disaster, there is such a group of people, such as the 9/11 incident in the United States, such as the fire of Notre Dame Cathedral in France, such as this The second Shinzo Abe was assassinated."

The author finally reminded: "Don't gloat over the misfortunes of others, this will not make you better, but from the perspective of numerology, it will bring bad retribution. I hope the incident of Shinzo Abe can trigger a little thinking and hope for a life. It is the misfortune of human beings that can awaken, not the carnival of animal nature."
