"At this moment, I am the saddest character in the world."
When "Ant Citizen" Jacky Cheung humbly issued a statement in front of the people of the country, Presumably, at this moment, he will have a deeper understanding of "Heart Like a Knife" that he sang.
Just because the praise is not warm enough, an "ant citizen" with Jacky Cheung's status must take the initiative to give in, quickly express his patriotic will, and be willing to reform under everyone's supervision and continue to work hard to be a good person.
To be honest, when I heard Jacky Cheung repeating expressions that were very unfamiliar to him in the "statement", in addition to being uncomfortable with the lame behavior, I felt more sadness in my heart. Yes, it was "praise" The sadness of not working hard enough will be a crime, and taking it one step further may be "only one voice is allowed to exist."
Jacky Cheung's controversy originated from a video of his interview with CCTV. For him who was "born and raised in Hong Kong and would like to die in Hong Kong", he may think that he can say that "Hong Kong has experienced a lot in the past 25 years, ups and downs." Low, ups and downs, but because I grew up with this city, I was born here and grew up here, I still believe in this city and still hope that this city will become a better city than before. Come on Hong Kong "There is nothing wrong with this, but he does not understand the current mainland context and the mentality of some people.
In the eyes of some netizens who were "born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze", Jacky Cheung's language system cannot reflect expressions with strong emotional color such as "return", "motherland" and "amazing". The colorful attributive ending of "Come on Hong Kong" is not only not patriotic enough, but also has hidden motives to slander great achievements.
Actually, I donât care about the voices of some netizens, and I believe Jacky Cheung doesnât care either. However, CCTV, which collected this video, quietly deleted it after triggering a discussion. Invisibly, this shows the tendency of mainstream discourse. Maybe After netizens pointed out the flaws, CCTV also believed that Jacky Cheungâs words were indeed ânot entirely correct.â
CCTVâs move to delete the video can be regarded to a certain extent as accomplices of âinsufficient praise will be a crimeâ, which makes those who hold the âpatriotic flagâ wantonly kill and fight in joy, and pursue the victory tirelessly. Pursue new goals.
In this atmosphere of public opinion, Jacky Cheung, who has a strong desire to survive and feels aggrieved, can only give in and stand up to express "patriotism, serving the country with sincerity, and shining the will of a strong country." Even if he doesn't mean what he says, he still has to show it. Show a little bit of the humbleness of the "ant people".
I still have to say that Jacky Cheung, who lives in the context of Hong Kong, really cannot keep up with the pace of the mainland. In this "statement" in which he openly admits his attitude, he actually repeats "Every industry is depressed and people are panicked. Hong Kong is exactly "When you have to work hard," but you don't know how to euphemistically express your feelings with the chicken-blooded "Hong Kong will definitely be better tomorrow."
Indeed, in Jacky Cheung's opinion, shouting "Come on Hong Kong" is no different from shouting "Come on Wuhan" or "Come on Shanghai", but it's just that it doesn't work when it comes to him? This is because he is unable to perceive the mainstream discourse system in the mainland, and he cannot be as comfortable as the virtuous and artistic performing artist Jackie Chan , and can praise him in place without revealing anything.
For Jacky Cheung, who is very calm and honest, this kind of request may be really too much. However, when Jacky Cheung needs to publicly prove his patriotism, it is inevitable that people will feel frightened.
This reminds me of when Zhou Yang won the gold medal in the 1500-meter short track speed skating at the Vancouver Winter Olympics. In front of the CCTV cameras, he very naturally "thanked his parents" and said, "the gold medal can make their life easier." Better", this is such an inspirational, warm and candid expression. However, in the next year's CPPCC sports sector group discussion, International Olympic Committee Vice Chairman Yu Zaiqing said seriously that inspirational education for athletes should be strengthened. , moral education, saying "It's okay to thank your father and your mother", but "first of all, thank the country", which caused an uproar in public opinion.
In that era when standards were slightly looser, we could still defend Zhou Yang from the perspective of human nature, but at the Beijing Winter Olympics at the beginning of this year, we found that the moral education achievements of athletes were indeed very significant. In contrast, Jacky Cheungâs lesson really did not satisfy netizens, nor CCTV.
Jacky Cheung's expectation that "We Chinese are rational, we convince people with reason, and we can show the Chinese style in front of the world" may not be fulfilled. As for "listen to his words and watch his actions, whether I love the country and Hong Kong," An oath such as "I will make my own decision" may not withstand critical scrutiny.
I thought that this day would come sooner or later, but I didnât expect that this day would come so quickly. Now, Jacky Cheungâs resignation has become the final seal, indicating that we have transcended sharp criticism and completely disappeared, and mild criticism is not allowed. Silence already has ulterior motives. In the end, "insufficient praise would be a crime." Taking another step forward is to "only allow one voice to exist."
's stylized, standardized and revolutionary expression indicates that we have lost the option of "not crying". Even if you are a king, there is no exception from praise.
