"If a real person deviates from our pure minority imagination in our minds, will we deny this person or our own imagination itself?"
>>>
If you go back five days ago, you might be talking about it. When he came to Kangba man , he thought of this picture: among the mountains and valleys, one person is riding a high-headed horse galloping forward, wherever he goes, he looks bright and laughs heartily.
But five days later, the Kangba man suddenly had a new image spokesperson: Ding Zhen.
, the rough and dark-skinned teenager slowly walked towards the camera, and sent him to hot searches on all major platforms in just ten seconds. He has neither a tall horse nor long flowing hair. All he has is shiny eyes and a shy smile.
In the discussion of "How handsome Kangba guys are", more and more people are paying attention to Ding Zhen's simple wild beauty. As his name "Ding Zhen" means in Tibetan, this sweet wild boy has become a pure plateau pearl in the eyes of many people. However, in just a few days, this name has been involved in the vortex of controversy along with the labels of "marketing" and "rollover".

Deconstruction of "Ding Zhen-style handsome": the imaginary sense of national atmosphere
夂 The little
Kangba guy Ding is really an accident, but it is not really an accident.
In the short video traffic pool, there are not a few minority content producers and content elements. From distinctive appearances and costumes to ethnic festival celebrations and daily life, many people use screens to obtain a little knowledge of strange minority groups, thus forming their mysterious and vague imagination of ethnic minorities.
As mentioned in the Tibetan Khampa man, the naked-eye view of the plateau and the Tibetan robes and clothing contain our imagination of pure plateau and pious belief.
used this imagination as a pavement. When Ding Zhen, a handsome guy with distinctive plateau characteristics, walked into the screen, his red cheeks, dark skin, unique earrings and even shabby robes were the visual characteristics of Tibetans. Elements are all adding points to the visual impact he brings. The upgraded shooting technique has piled up layers of mysterious atmosphere brought by the life scenes of ethnic minorities, attracting the audience's attention to Ding Zhen alone.
may be a chemical reaction between his innocent and shy temperament and rough appearance. Under the impact of freshness and atmosphere on the screen, we summed up his unpredictable and indescribable temperament as handsome.
Dante really became popular not so much because of his handsomeness, as it is because of our unconscious imagination of ethnic minority atmosphere.
When we looked at Ding Zhen, his dazzling eyes did not only mean beautiful eyes, but the purity of the plateau snow-capped mountains. Some netizens even commented that "it seems that the whole person becomes clean by just looking at him." Ding Zhen on the screen is not only a Tibetan boy, but also a symbol of the purity and pollution-free land of the land closest to the sun, and a portrayal of the pious and faithful nation returning to its true spiritual power. This imagination of
can also explain the controversy caused by Ding Zhen. Since Ding Zhen became famous, some people who claimed to be related to him came out and broke the news, using live broadcasts to deceive gifts and spread rumors to kill the audience's imaginary Ding Zhen and the ethnic minority culture it represents.
And the outflow of Ding Zhen's old photos has subverted many people's imagination. What will this 20-year-old Tibetan guy look like when he takes off his shabby Tibetan robe? We may not be able to imagine the specific appearance, but we never expected it to be "non-mainstream" and a vertical middle finger.
The questioning of Ding Zhen’s “rollover” is also a question of the Tibetan cultural temperament in our own imagination. Unfortunately, we have never understood Ding Zhen from the beginning, nor did we understand the Tibetans. The lives of the people.

cross-border interaction: what is a pure teenager?
Xiao
When reality deviates from imagination, some people choose to stand on the opposite side and contempt and criticize, but some choose to dig and understand.
inAfter Ding Zhen became popular, the photographer who discovered him arranged a live broadcast for the young man who cannot speak Chinese. The photographer asked fans who came here to send gifts and claimed that he could get Ding Zhen’s contact information when he reached the top 30. He regarded Ding Zhen, a Tibetan guy who does not speak Chinese, as a cash cow in the live broadcast room, and was "aphasia". Ding Zhen looks pitiful against the photographer.
The sister fans and mother fans who were trampled on the fate of maternal care chanted sincerely in the comments to keep Ding Zhen away from the unpredictable photographer, let him study hard and find a job but not enter the entertainment circle . More interested people translate the above opinions into Tibetan and broadcast them in the comments.
The emotional sustenance and participatory interaction similar to the rice circle was quickly staged on Ding Zhen. These enthusiastic strangers learned about Ding Zhen and his family through various channels. However, after we crossed the social boundary and entered his private field, what we learned was only an ordinary person more and more alive. When he faded the filter of mystery and atmosphere on his body, the people who came in for his pleasure came back in a hurry, still complaining about his ignorance and rusticity.
If real people deviate from the pure minority imagination in our minds, will we deny the real people or our own imagination itself? The answer to this question may not be general, but the negative situation is happening to Ding Zhen. With the in-depth understanding of him,
revolved around Ding Zhen's marketing theory and malicious speculations. Many people cannot accept that this prairie pearl, which was originally thought to be pure and innocent, has also received the baptism of Internet culture, nor can they accept the inexplicable "vertical middle finger" photo.
However, the vertical middle finger does not necessarily have a bad connotation in Tibetan culture. It is just that the explanation of this question is inadvertently drowned in the negative voice of Ding Zhen.
Not to mention that we use the Internet to break through the boundaries of interaction, but we are crying not to let the Internet taint the pure young people, and there is contradiction between words and deeds. When the image of Ding Zhen was pushed to countless large and small screens, and when all of his past was exposed to the public, is this way of understanding an "aphasia" teenager too simple and rude.
A simple and natural Ding Zhen fell into the discussion in the social network space. It seems that he has brought a fresh aesthetic and a strange culture, but in fact, we broke into his in groups and dragged the family. Live and try to bring in influence from the outside world.
For the Tibetan guy Ding Zhen, is it the best choice to break up with the photographer, go back to school, and never enter the entertainment industry? Regarding the choice of life, no one can make decisions for ourselves, and so does Ding Zhen.

Dignified social participation: peacefully remove the filter of imagination
夂, when we put aside the real interactive nature of his growth environment and cultural background, this little
It is still a kind of "empty" interaction, because the physical boundary can be crossed easily, but the psychological boundary will always exist. And 's sense of boundary does not only mean alienation, but also emphasizes respect and tolerance.
Respect for the life of a minority teenager not only has the innocent fun of horse racing on the grassland, but also has the influence of the Internet and material radiation. While accepting him as a cultural symbol of ethnic minorities, it brings us visual aesthetics and spiritual touch, but also tolerates him as a Or an ordinary guy who doesn't have enough education and has a wealthy family.
13-year-old Ding Zhen works at home
because respect and tolerance for Ding Zhen does not simply mean respect and tolerance for him, is more related to the group identity of ethnic minorities and the group identity of each member of society.
Why do we have an unconscious identity and imagination with ethnic minority culture? On the one hand, because of the unknown strangeness, but also because ethnic minority culture itself is a precious identity resource. Based on the distinctive cultural symbols of ethnic minorities, it can form the cohesion of public life, so that we can lead to more dignified Public life.
So Ding Zhen's "overturned" is actually the overturn of some of us approaching ethnic minority cultures, and the overturn of "arrogantly watching". Maybe we can’t pass the screenThe curtain understands the whole of Tibetan culture, but we can accept the known part with a smile and propose thinking about its existing value.
Ding Zhen provides us with an epitome of a minority teenager in a remote area. Rather than paying attention to whether this teenager is handsome now, whether he was handsome in the past, and whether he is an electronic pet under capital operation, it is better to use him as an entry point. Pay more attention to the education problems in remote areas and the living conditions of young people. The elder child of
can't go to school because he helps his livelihood, so even if he really has the hostility of "pull middle finger", it is not just his personal sadness, but the sadness of the whole society.
In public life full of lights, the significance of exposing an event is not in the exposure itself, but in making it a public concern. For Ding Zhen, he may now understand the weight of the public line of sight under the light, and everyone who crosses the border and invades his private domain should also reflect on the cost of crossing the line.
Ding Zhen's pony can still leave traces of struggle after galloping. If thousands of online tourists invade Ding Zhen's private domain with an attitude of onlookers, then Ding Zhen will only become a small wave that is lifted and submerged in the traffic pool, leaving no trace. After that, we still cannot approach Khampa, approaching strange ethnic minority cultures.
is a filter that we personally cast a sense of atmosphere for ethnic minorities in the imaginary space, so when this layer of filter is removed, please do not let Ding Zhen who is out of the circle bear the full price.
