Chapter 871 A Gentleman Is Like a "Feather"

After dinner, Su Yuxi said goodbye first, Su Weilan looked at the back of this cousin like a bright moon and thoughtfully wanted to persuade her to help herself and return to the "idol plan", but she was unconsciously persuaded that it was normal for stocks to fall, and it was not his fault, so he could only smile bitterly twice.

Liu Huaming saw Su Yuxi walking away from the window, and couldn't help asking, "Can you buy the stock your sister said?"

Su Weilan smiled "hehe" and said proudly: "Don't worry about buying, if you really lose, I will pay you double ........"

Liu Huaming held Su Weilan's hand and said in a sweet tone: "I don't want you to compensate....... It's really a loss, you accompany me for two nights in a row, and I am satisfied....... "The more you are in front of rich people, the more you have to show that you don't care about money, and the more you are in front of powerful people, the more you have to show that you are not afraid of power, this is a summary of Liu Huaming's mixed Shanghai high society for a period of time, and I can't help but say that she still has the potential to be called a courtesan."

On the way back, Su Yuxi was thinking about how to accelerate the death of the Huaxia record industry, it can be said that Cheng Xiaoyu's sudden rise forcibly created a climax for Huaxia Records, and also lasted for at least two or three years for the decline of the Huaxia record industry.

If you peel off the sales data created by Cheng Xiaoyu alone (poison + idol plan + guilty crown), in fact, the physical sales of Huaxia Records have decreased by 96% compared with the sales of the peak in 2007.

It's just that people inside the record industry don't realize that the glory has become a thing of the past, and the record is about to be squeezed into the corner of history by the Internet, and there seems to be no problem with the big data record industry, but after the prompting of Cheng Xiaoyu, Su Yuxi found through the shocking numbers that the once smash hit darling of the era has slowly moved towards twilight, and even stepped towards the road of death.

As a "foreign product", the record industry did not form a scale in China in the early years, and at first it was only recorded in China and produced records abroad. Until the 30s of the last century, with the popularization of records in China, the system of three major record labels of "Xinsuo", "Shengli" and "Greater China" and more than a dozen small record companies was gradually formed.

In 1979, Pacific Audio-Visual Company was formally established, marking the entry of China's record industry into the audio-visual era, after just over ten years of development, more than 300 audio-visual publishing units, hundreds of reproduction manufacturers, more than 100,000 sellers rose from the ground. At this time, new record companies such as Xinsuo Records, Orange Sky Records, and Shanghe Records were doing well in China one after another, and China's record industry began to take off.

However, today, the number of audio-visual publishers has not increased but decreased, and there are only more than a dozen relatively large CD manufacturers left, and only a few large chain stores are left among the sellers.

At the beginning of this year, after 20 years of operation, the largest audio-visual chain in the United States, Millennium Music, officially announced that it would not only lay off employees, but also close two-thirds of its stores, transfer its main sales positions to the network, and plan to continue to reduce the number of stores.

The private audio-visual stores that used to be everywhere in Huaxia are also shrinking, but private audio-visual stores only account for a small part of Huaxia's audio-visual stores, so they have no reference significance........

Su Yuxi has seen the future of the record industry expected by Cheng Xiaoyu from the gradual decline of the American audio and video industry, and in order to achieve her goal, the first thing she has to do is to hit the sales of the new "Idol Project" album to a record low..........

Su Yuxi went farther and farther on her own path, but she didn't ignore the problem she cared about the most, Cheng Xiaoyu was in prison, in fact, out of her grasp, of course, she didn't think about it, but now that the media is so developed, plus Cheng Xiaoyu is the key object of care, and Xu Qinning is still in Tokyo, she is naturally not afraid that Cheng Xiaoyu will disappear mysteriously again.

........

And at this moment, Yijiin Jingmei also launched her own rescue plan, when everyone was thinking about taking legal means to solve Cheng Xiaoyu's problem, Xu Qinning thought of being released on medical parole, and called Yijiin Jingmei, asking if there was a way, how much money is not a problem, Yijiin Jingmei just told Xu Qinning not to worry, as a quasi-neon royal family, she thought of another way, through public opinion to promote the emperor to issue an "amnesty order".

According to Article 16 of the Neon Constitution, the emperor has the power to grant amnesty, pardon and commutation of sentences, but her role as a lobbyist alone is not enough, and public support must be obtained.

The broadcast of the documentary about Cheng Xiaoyu a few days ago won him a lot of word of mouth, but this is far from enough, at this time, it is necessary to reverse the negative image of Cheng Xiaoyu who is unrepentant in court and make him a hero.

Yijiin Jingmei has a draft in her heart, and what she admires is Cheng Xiaoyu's spirit of "rather being broken than being whole", which is also the spirit that neon aristocrats and bushido have always admired.

Ijiin Jingmei looked for a relationship and published an article called "A Gentleman is Like 'Yu'" in the "Asahi Shimbun", which has the most neon atmosphere, and this article was published in the most popular section "News Viewpoint", and because it was written by the prospective crown princess, it triggered a large-scale discussion among the neon people about Cheng Xiaoyu's "broken jade" spirit.

The article wrote: "In October last year, I met Xiaoyujun for the first time, many people wondered why he came to Neon, I actually want to know the answer, so I struggled for several months, spent countless thoughts, and finally completed his first interview, a few days ago his case was settled, whether in Huaxia or Neon, for the verdict has its own word, here I don't want to discuss whether this verdict is fair, I just want to talk about Cheng Xiaoyu in my heart, and the "jade spirit" he upholds."

In the past period, Cheng Xiaoyu's lawsuit has long spread around the world through the Internet. But what is strange is that compared with the "flood of scolding" from the mainstream media last year, the reaction of the media before and after this year's verdict was surprisingly 'calm', and everyone only cared about whether he should be sentenced or not, but on the Internet and in the newspapers, no one discussed what kind of person Cheng Xiaoyu was, and whether in the newspapers or on the Internet, you can hardly find a decent comment.

First, because this lawsuit dragged on for too long, the "rightists" who used to like to criticize Cheng Xiaoyu had cold passion.

The second is because most people don't understand Cheng Xiaoyu at all. Not only do those "rightists" who must oppose China not understand, but even most of the ordinary spectators around me are also confused, they don't understand what Cheng Xiaoyu is insisting on, and why he doesn't admit his mistakes.

In most people's hearts, if Cheng Xiaoyu sincerely apologizes and says a few beautiful words, then even if the page is turned - remember the lesson, give up hatred, and get forgiveness from the people and the law, Cheng Xiaoyu is still a good "comrade".

But with my personal understanding of Cheng Xiaoyu, I think this is pure wishful thinking. He can say regret, he can say introspection, but he will not think that he is wrong, he is stubbornly insisting on his own justice!

In fact, this kind of Cheng Xiaoyu is in line with the aesthetics of our neon people, and this unique thinking shows the "tangled jade spirit".

Ruth Benedict said in the book "The Chrysanthemum and the Knife": In the eyes of Americans, neon militaristic movies are the best "anti-war movies" they have ever seen. Whether it is depicting the Russo-Japanese War or the "77 Incident", what is shown in the camera is the march in the mud, the hardships of the fierce battle, and you can't see the scene of victory and the "Long Live Charge"...... Three generations of a family, representatives who survived three wars, became lame, blind, and crippled......

But this makes me laugh that foreigners see "anti-war" in these films, while we ourselves see "heroism". Our definition of a hero is very different from that of the United States and China.

When Chinese people evaluate Lun heroes, they must first look at whether he is "politically correct". Mencius said: Reflexively shrinking, although there are tens of millions of people, I will go. The founding head of China said: Death is heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. To die for the interests of the people is heavier than Mount Tai; Fight for the fascists...... It's lighter than a feather.

In the eyes of Chinese people, a person has a wrong position and is very desperate, then he is not a hero, but a "perverse act", so Cheng Xiaoyu's behavior is a little stupid in the eyes of Chinese people, Chinese people pay attention to "stay in the green mountains, do not worry about no firewood", pay attention to "tile complete", but Cheng Xiaoyu is a Chinese who grew up in the United States, his thinking has the personal heroism of Americans, and there are also Chinese people "sacrifice the small self and complete the big self".

And this spirit is most in line with our neon people's concept of heroes, we neon people have always believed that the hero has nothing to do with the position, but whether he "works hard". If this person happens to be caught in the contradiction between "small love" and "great love", and in the end he gives up "small love" and fulfills "great righteousness", then this person is a big hero.

……

In the eyes of our neon people, after experiencing "painful entanglements", and finally doing their best to do their duty and insisting on themselves, such people are heroes. There is no drama without "painful disputes", and there is no heroism without "doing one's duty".

Sometimes, in order to foil the hero, literary works will make this "pain" to the point that it seems to outsiders to be "extremely perverted". In the national epic "Forty-Seven Ronin", some samurai sold their wives to a brothel to raise funds in order to avenge their lordship; In order to prove their loyalty, some even want to kill their own sisters; Some killed their fathers-in-law; In order to spy on intelligence, some even gave their sisters to the enemy as concubines......

In the story of "Forty-Seven Ronin", the shogun forbade the samurai to take revenge privately. Although the ronin stabbed the enemy, they also violated the general's orders. In order to give an explanation to the general, all 47 of them committed suicide by seppuku. The comment in our primary school textbook about this is "this is the best of both worlds".

Ruth Benedict said: Neon people believe that the truly strong should be able to abandon personal happiness and fulfill their obligations......

In modern times, when we try to establish some kind of moral standard that can override all fields, we often choose "sincerity".

And Cheng Xiaoyu's behavior, no matter which point has been done, he came to Neon from Huaxia is to "abandon personal happiness and fulfill obligations", his firmness in the court is to himself, to others, to the law "sincerity", his persistence is the best of both worlds in the entanglement.

Let's take a look at Cheng Xiaoyu's performance in "Ten Days of Hell", a well-deserved "hero"!

It's a conundrum that has been entangled in neon for thousands of years.

We are a nation tormented by volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, wars, poverty, and hunger. The "existential crisis" is like a sword of Damocles hanging over our heads, on the one hand, it has allowed our nation to develop a tenacious personality and a meticulous attitude towards doing things.

"Survival" has always been the ultimate goal of our nation, and even "survival" has become our paranoia.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Yamamoto Isoroku had his staff officers draw up a plan to attack and conquer India, but the purpose was to protect Singapore, which was typical of neon thinking.

In fact, "living" has become the highest value judgment and the excuse for all actions of Neon at that time.

In order to "survive", we can plot conspiracies, fabricate lies, surprise attacks, and backtrack. In order to "survive", after the defeat of the war, we can be wronged, allocate 50 million yen as a fund to set up a "special comfort facilities association", and advertise in the newspaper to openly recruit 60,000 neon women to provide for the US military******* some people once joked: If neon wants to conquer Mars one day, it must be to protect the earth.

And now, we are blaming Cheng Xiaoyu, who wants to let his sister "live", unscrupulous means!

How ridiculous is this.

Finally, end with a quote from the movie: "What the living should do is not to live up to those who die." Keep the story going. ”

Although we don't have such a special experience as Cheng Xiaoyu, in every era, there are more or less such stories happening. Everyone buried their stories in their hearts, and lived as if nothing had happened, and those who survived the war, those who survived the earthquake and tsunami, all had their own different experiences.

We can't judge what people do in a desperate environment, but Cheng Xiaoyu is noble, giving food to others, risking his life to climb the elevator shaft, and he alone resisted the notoriety of murder, and these people are still the enemies of the extremely vicious, threatening their lives, and killing his life-saving benefactor........ Now you ask yourself, is he wrong?

Of course, Cheng Xiaoyu is right, he is just a piece of "jade" that has been shattered by neon laws.
