Is it "Therefore, heaven will give great responsibilities to the 'this' man" or "Therefore, heaven will give great responsibilities to the 'this' man"?
26, this topic became the first hot search:
"Born in distress, die in happiness" in junior high school textbooks, excerpted from the next chapter of "Gaozi" in "Mencius". It is usually required to be recited and has been popular for many years.
Recently, a netizen posted that in his memory, he learned in his early years that "Heaven will give great responsibilities to this man", but found that the current textbook has become "Heaven will give great responsibilities to this man". On the 26th, the Chinese Editorial Department of the People's Education Press Middle School revealed that the publisher's textbook articles have always been "Therefore, God will give great responsibilities to this man", and never "Therefore, God will give great responsibilities to this man".
Netizens are in a mess: Is there something wrong with my memory? ? ?
Netizens searched for textbooks
People's Education Society : "Yu Si Ren Ye" has never appeared
Posted by netizens said that "Mencius"'s "Born in Worry, Died in Happiness" has existed in middle school textbooks for decades, and all people who have been to middle school should have memorized it. There is a saying in it, "Therefore, God will give great responsibilities to this man." My memory is very clear, because I also thought of " Li Si " in class. Is this "this man"? Until one day he saw someone saying that the words "Yu Si Ren" had never appeared in textbooks, even in ancient texts.
"Did I remember it wrong?" This netizen searched for the 1992 version, 2001 version and 2016 version of the People's Education Press textbook, all of which were "human".

In addition, other netizens also conducted verification. Since 1961, this text in the history of the People's Education Press, including 1982, 1994, 2006, all are "Heaven will give great responsibilities to man"; the Siku Quanshu engraved "Mencius Collection Notes" (Song Zhu Xi notes), and the Ming Dynasty engraved "Mencius Annotations and Interpretations of the Commentary Sutra" (Han Zhao Qi notes) are all "this person".

"Is it a person"? "This person"? Netizens argue endlessly:
On October 26, a staff member of the Chinese editorial department of the People's Education Press Middle School told the upstream news reporter that the middle school textbooks published by People's Education Press have included the article "Born in distress, die in peace" in 1961, and the textbooks of have been "man" version . They have also read many ancient books, and the result of the search is "Heaven will give great responsibilities to man."
Editorial department staff said that the two words "s" and "yes" express the same meaning, and both express the meaning of "this".
Netizen: has appeared again " Mandela effect "
The timeline of this time and space has really been passive?
A media once published a survey on "Heaven will give great responsibilities to 'it is human' or 'this person'". The results showed that 94% of netizens who participated in the voting said that they were "this person" in their memory.
Why do many netizens have group memories of "this person"? Staff from the editorial department of the People's Education Press said they were not clear.
Some netizens said that it may be affected by some teaching aids and TV programs:
Some netizens also pointed out that this may be the "Mandela effect":
"Mandela effect" is a psychological effect, which refers to the public's collective memory of history that does not match historical facts. It first refers to people's misunderstandings about former South African President Mandela's death in prison in the 1980s. Following the 2013 news release of Mandela's death, people around the world found themselves in chaos in their memory of Mandela.
also derived from the "Mandela effect", there are also discussions: " 56 ethnic groups , 56 flowers", or "fifty-six constellations, 56 flowers"? "Two orioles sing in the green willow" or "two orioles sing in the green willow"?
Some experts believe that the emergence of mass error memories is related to psychological hints. "Because people tend to believe what others say is correct. Once an error message appears, it is likely to mislead the authenticity of existing memories. Moreover, people are often influenced by inducing questions and reorganize their own memory content."

So will God give great responsibility to "is it a person" or "this person"?
