A war has witnessed the Chinese people's love for Russia. It is not so much love as flattery. Some people have put Russia to the level of "father". It doesn't matter if they are scolded, but if they scold Russia, it will definitely end with you. The flattering trend of
has taken shape, and it is more important to know the reasons behind it and how to guide it in the future. This will help purify the domestic public opinion field and form a correct world view.
Many people's love for Russia stems from Putin . In other words, what everyone loves is not Russia, but simply Putin. As a result, Aiwu and Wulian brought Russia into their favorite category.
But people’s love for Russia is very superficial. Apart from knowing Moscow , most people can’t name other Russian cities. They don’t understand the country’s history, culture, spiritual core, or the Russian people’s attitude towards China. They just simply like Putin.
's love for Putin is limited to the image created by media news. Over the years, domestic mainstream media and self-media have all exaggerated Putin's tough guy image. No one really cares whether he is a real tough guy or not. The reason why they label him as "like Putin" is to show their toughness. It’s similar to Ye Gong’s love for dragons.
Domestic media are also filtered when reporting on Russia. They only select good aspects and report without mentioning other aspects, giving the Chinese people the illusion that "Russia is our best friend." Currently, there are relatively few official channels for obtaining multi-party information, and most people are too lazy to explore other channels. Everyone eats whatever the media feeds, which leads to the current results.
Another reason why Chinese people “favor Russia” is their admiration for Putin’s “personal heroism”. Regardless of whether he has this quality, at least in the domestic media Putin is a tough guy who challenges Europe and the United States, and his every move reveals a heroic atmosphere.
Everyone has a heroic dream of doing justice, but individual heroism is very lacking in China. We will only emphasize collectivism, and the collective is greater than the individual at all times.
After our country's athletes win the championship, the first thing they say is to thank xx, secondly thank xx for training, and finally express their sweat for it.
If individual heroism is put before collectivism, many people think it is a sign of disregard for the overall situation and a sign of an individual's eagerness to be in the limelight. Even the world's top athletes such as Yao Ming and Liu Xiang cannot embody individual heroism and must put the collective before everything else.
In fact, this is a kind of suppression of human nature. Since ancient times, our country has not lacked heroes who stand up to heaven and earth. Heroism is very morale-boosting and inspiring, and it is also the best patriotic education. After Argentina won the World Cup this time, the domestic people continued to be excited, and the enthusiasm for football was unprecedentedly high. Under the influence of this kind of personal heroism, there will undoubtedly be more Messi .
Domestic love for Putin is also based on the desire for personal heroism to satisfy a fantasy deep in one's heart. To deny Russia is to deny Putin and to destroy their inner spiritual totem. This is unacceptable to many people.
Some people say that they like Russia because of the friendship between China and Russia, and that they made their decision from the standpoint of the country. People who hold this idea basically do not understand international relations, and regard the relationship between major countries as too life-like, treating it like the relationship between their seven aunts and eight aunts.
There has been a period of friendship between China and Japan and China and the United States. The cooperation between the two sides at the national level is as sweet as honey, but the attitude of the people towards the United States and Japan is not one-tenth of that towards Russia. Therefore, friendliness at the national level is only one factor in determining personal preferences, not the decisive factor. The main reasons are the guidance and shaping of the media and the empathy of individual subjective emotions.
There is nothing wrong with loving Russia, but subjective emotions cannot override objective facts. Treating other countries as spiritual beliefs is obviously a bit too much.Therefore, the media tries its best to present objective facts when promoting, allowing the people to decide their own preferences through the facts, instead of directly telling the people who they should love and hate. This is not a correct world view.
In terms of shaping the character of Chinese people, we must also pay attention to balance. There is nothing wrong with emphasizing collectivism, but it cannot suppress individual heroism. It is crucial to create heroes who can continue to stimulate the hormones of the Chinese people. Otherwise, domestic men will become more and more effeminate and highly castrated mentally, which is definitely detrimental to the development of the country.
National rejuvenation is not an empty talk. It allows the people to see the world from multiple angles and not to be blind, so that they can compare what is good and what is bad and develop their own national character. I don’t think keeping them in captivity is the best way.
