In this age of verbal abuse and judgment by public opinion, I very much miss the voice of rational discussion back then

01

Remember the Bao Yuming and Li Xingxing incident?

Yantai police, who initially accepted the case, did so based on facts and the law as the criterion. What does

get in exchange for being so dedicated?

was scolded by netizens in the comment area of ​​Yantai Police Weibo.

is a photo of Zhang Gao, the deputy captain of the Criminal Police Team, who was rated as the "most beautiful policeman" in the local area.

face sweeping in front of relatives, classmates, and friends, and even the family members were pointed out when they walked outside.

really experienced a "social death" .

In fact, since the attack on Baoli was exposed by "Nanfengchuang", anyone with a little bit of legal knowledge and awareness of evidence can discover the problem:

did not conduct an in-depth investigation and sought evidence from the police, and the whole process was based on Li Xingxing’s oral records.

At that time, there was also a media called Caixin. From the perspective of Bao Yuming, he made a report. The result can be imagined:

officially apologized and deleted the post and cancelled the news. The reporter resigned under pressure and was almost sprayed Can't take care of yourself

Looking back, Caixin's report is closer to the truth itself.

This also confirms the current status of the public discussion space:

Weibo settled the case, the death penalty started;

public opinion trial, the weak are justified;

only has a conclusion, no discussion.

Whenever someone raises a little objection, the verbal insult will be like rain.

Public opinion is in desperation, reason is silent, and emotions flood the Internet. When does

start, no one wants to speak well?

Where is the tolerance of a mature society? Accompanied by

, talk shows that should be responsible for guiding public values ​​are gradually declining, and finally disappeared in historical memory.

02

In 1996, CCTV "Tell the Truth" was launched.

, who is still a newcomer, walks slightly stubbornly, with a mouthful of oily voice, following the audience "Who is this grandson?" 's question, he walked into people's sight. How popular was

at the time?

Among all the viewers who watched TV every Sunday, the proportion of viewers of "Tell the Truth" once reached 62%. To compare

with now, "Run Brother" and "Extreme Challenge" are very popular, right?

but the ratings are between 1%-2%. When talking about the original intention of the program, the producer of

Chen Fei said: The most fundamental impulse for

to choose the mode of host interview is to realize the proposition of respect for people, and the basic symbol of respect for people is to let people speak.

In order to present the truth to the greatest extent, the program team never rehearses and has no lines before the shooting of each issue. What topics have you talked about in "Speak the Truth" which is so "playful"?

has many topics of high social concern, such as ethics, doctor-patient relations, children's education, women's rights, laid-off workers, and Beijing housing prices.

also took the initiative to expose the "fake, evil and ugliness" phenomenon in society, such as "Looking back on the Marseille match-fixing incident" which criticized the black whistle of match-fixing, and discussed the copyright protection "How to counter piracy".

has a chat about gambling, where the police and gamblers sit together. The

police talked about how to detect and control, and the gambler talked about how to avoid arrest.

There are so many things in the world, so lively.

This is called telling the truth. When the first episode of the

program was launched, Wang Hai, the "anti-counterfeiting hero", was invited to have a tit-for-tat discussion on Wang Hai's anti-counterfeiting techniques.

Wang Hai, China’s “first professional anti-counterfeit”, has purchased fake claims in major shopping malls in Beijing since 1995. As of March 1996,

has purchased a total of nearly 110,000 counterfeit products and received double compensation of more than 50,000 yuan. He believes that Wang Hai's fight against counterfeiting is purely for personal benefit and has not made any contribution to society, while Wang Hai is tit-for-tat.

Audience: Is he going to the store to claim for his personal benefit, or is he doing something for the society?

Wang Hai: At least everyone has a certain understanding of "elimination".

audience: But what have you done for society? You just disturbedSocial order, I think.

Wang Hai: No, no. Is it to sell fakes to disrupt social order, or to fight fakes to disrupt social order? It's like being a thief to disrupt social order or catching a thief to disrupt social order. At the scene of the first episode of

, there were also guest lawyers who believed that Wang Hai’s actions did not follow the basic principles of legal honesty and credibility, and therefore were not regarded as anti-counterfeiting, let alone "anti-counterfeiting heroes."

Fan Gang, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, rebutted his point of view. In today’s words, he is hard-working the "moral emperor":

I think what Lawyer Gao said is to be impartial, honest, trustworthy, and fair. , Judges, and law enforcement agencies.

Consumers are now facing counterfeit and shoddy products that do not tell the truth. Why do you require that every consumer is a saint?

On-site guests and audiences expressed their opinions, and golden sentences frequently appeared. During the whole discussion, sparks splattered, but there was no final conclusion of either black or white, but left the right and space for independent thinking to the audience in front of the TV.

"Tell the Truth" one year after it was broadcast, due to the controversy of the topic, it was adjusted to a form of personal story sharing, and since then it has started to decline.

danced with shackles, after all, it was difficult to continue.

In 2002, Cui Yongyuan left.

In 2009, "Tell the Truth" stopped broadcasting.

03

During the hot airing of "Tell the Truth", a show on Hunan TV has always regarded him as a competitor. This is "I have something to say". The founder of

is called Ma Dong. When he mentions him, people think of variety shows like "Summer of the Band" and "Wonderful Flowers". As everyone knows, when he just graduated from university, the passionate Ma Dong started a social topic discussion program "I have something to say".

"Something to Say" program group

, a program full of passion and news concepts, has also created many sensational themes.

According to Ma Dong’s colleagues, they even made the show under the root of the imperial city, completely forgetting that they were just a local station.

And now Ma Dong, who often ridicules himself for "short-term ambitions", was also able to compete with the leaders for the content of the program.

In the end, "Something to Say" was stopped urgently because it touched on the subject of homosexuality. When

stopped, he never stood up again.

is a scene that all colleagues can't forget:

, now such a gag and sophisticated Ma Dong, cried bitterly in front of everyone after hearing the show stopped. Today, many years after

, Ma Dong can still clearly recall that he has done this weekly program for one and a half years, with a total of 83 episodes.

"New Weekly" once named "Something to Tell", "Speaking the Truth", and "Qiang Qiang Threesome" as "the troika of talk shows."

Compared with the previous two, "Qiang Qiang Threesome" is the least tepid of the three programs, but it is also the longest. The name of the show

is derived from the "Zuo Zhuan" allusion: Phoenix Yu Fei, He Ming Qiang. The host of

Dou Wentao, with a peculiar poverty of northerners, plus two guests, a total of three people, can chat for more than 20 minutes.

is like listening to people talking in a teahouse, or like a group of old friends, talking around the furnace late at night. In 19 years, more than 5,000 episodes have been broadcast, making it a long-lived TV show star.

has also cultivated a group of old audiences. Whenever something new happens, they want to hear what "Qiang Qiang" says. The guests invited by the show

span 360 rows, ranging from Professor Li Meijin of the Public Security University to various acting stars of Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow.

went to Beijing "old gangster" Wang Shuo, even Li Xiaomu, who was in Kabukicho Street in Japan, and Tang Xiaoyan, the owner of the massage parlor.

has three teachings and nine streams, not only the life of a star, but also shows the dark side of society without evasiveness.

is more impressive, Guo Jingming's period.

Guo Jingming originally went to "Qiangqiang" to promote the film, but he was inevitably asked about plagiarism.

Dou Wentao asked: thisWhat do you think about the suspected plagiarism in this book ("How Much Do You Know About Flowers in Dreams" was sentenced to plagiarize "The Circle Inside and Outside")

Guo Jingming talks about him, straight to Tai Chi.

Guo: Don't mention the past. . . At least I know what I want, the most hateful thing is that those who love fame and fortune do not admit it on the surface.

Dou Wentao caught the loophole: Just do you not recognize the fact of the court's judgment that year?

Guo Jingming panicked: I think, can you talk too much... it's been too long... Teacher Dou.

As an intellectual class in the eyes of the public, "Qiang Qiang" also pays attention to the fate of the bottom of society, just as Dou Wentao revealed that he is willing to deal with the bottom of society.

invited Tang Xiaoyan, the protagonist of the documentary "Fortune Telling" in one issue.

was raped at the age of seventeen and blocked the door with an earthen gun. He was an "old bustard" and drove a kiln and mine. Now he is a producer. The typical villain of

, Dou Wentao said:

Our viewers usually think that they are on TV, and

are all people we want to promote, and they are all people we want to praise. I now think that our current media may not be In this way,

may be a negative teaching material for many people here, but you can also learn about

.

"New Weekly" once evaluated "Qiang Qiang":

is not anti-intellectual, not anti-information, not anti-worldview, and not reactionary. So it will only be the wisdom of the world, the result of transparency. In the 19 years since the launch of

, "Qiang Qiang" has never been popular, but it has its own vitality.

It is no longer a simple program, but more like an emotional self-preservation.

is just like what a netizen said:

, you can imagine that a civic citizen, a diaosi student, for four years, relying on Qiang Qiang, or Dou Wentao, gradually possessed some of his own. World outlook and values.

This is also the charm of "Qiang Qiang Threesome".

Unfortunately, no matter how clear the program is, it will eventually be hard to escape the massacre of public opinion.

Mo Yan wrote in "Life and Death Fatigue": The extremely exaggerated language of

is the reaction of extremely hypocritical society, and the violent language is the precursor of social violence. Look at

, it is precisely the existence of verbal violence and extreme opinions. Any hot event will leave only one voice in the end.

discusses being killed, leaving only the conclusion.

only then provided a stage for Li Xingzhi and his ilk to be a demon show.

They know that as long as there are self-media fans, as long as there is platform protection, storytelling can become news, and fakes can also be said to be true.

Someone once commented: Once those expected shows were stopped, must the next generation live in an era of entertainment to death, singing and dancing, eyes full of small meat, and no independent thinking ability? The term

becomes a truth.

I miss the unrestricted scale, accessibility, thoroughness and multiple perspectives of talk shows.

misses that they can "talk" rather than "noise".

If this kind of talk show survives to this day, I really hope to listen to them talk about it:

Chen Chunxiu's college entrance examination replacement incident, how many shady scenes are there?

What should we learn from the case of Li Xingxing and Bao Yuming?

The suicide of Mao Hongtao, Secretary of the Party Committee of Chengdu University.

How many things we don’t know behind the high degree of centralization of tutors in colleges and universities? Luo Xiang, the UP host of

B station, said a word and he deeply agrees:

a person with poorer knowledge has a strange courage and a strange sense of pride, because the poorer the knowledge, what you believe The more absolute things are, you have never heard the opposite point of view.

This gives us a warning:

don't use your own narrow cognition to try to figure out the words and deeds of others.

Do not use verbal violence and extreme views to obliterate others' right to speak.

Don't use verbal abuse to determine the opinion, public opinion trial, to bury the discovery of the truth.
