Chapter 612: The Pursuit of Freedom
Li Xiaolu said: "This time, the focus of your county's report letter is on Lu Guangming, Cheng Xuehong is your county magistrate, and he is also a controversial figure, so this time he was naturally reported." As for the specific situation, I don't know www.biquge.info but until now, Lu Guangming and Cheng Xuehong are still working normally, so it is more likely that they will not have any major incidents. Moreover, the Longwan Municipal Party Committee has already set the tone, and if this matter is finally controlled in your county, it means that no important county leaders will be dismissed. ”
Chen Qingdong nodded and said, "Well, that makes sense!" and then smiled again: "Xiaolu, I really didn't find out before, it turns out that you are an officialdom expert with such a clear idea! It's a pity that you didn't come to officialdom to develop!"
"Officialdom is a swamp, so I don't want to fall into it." I'm a journalist now, and our leaders don't care much about me, I just run around all day, and I go wherever there is news I like, and I'm as free as I can!" Li Xiaolu said.
However, after saying this, Li Xiaolu said a little depressedly: "But being a journalist is not a particularly free profession, after all, I still have leaders above me, although they don't care much about me, but leaders are leaders after all." Moreover, I don't have absolute freedom to publish articles, there are some sensitive news, and I spent a lot of effort to go to the scene to understand the inside story and write an article, but because of the influence of the leadership's scruples, my manuscript was killed, and it has happened more than once. ”
Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "Where is there any absolute freedom? Freedom is relative!"
Li Xiaolu sighed: "Yes, I can see now that freedom is relative, but within the scope of my efforts, I still want to fight for as much freedom as possible! So first of all, I decided that I would never be a leader in this life, even if it was the smallest leader, I would not want to be a leader." ”
Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "Why? Isn't it much more free to be a leader?"
Li Xiaolu shook his head and said, "Even if you become a leader, aren't there other leaders above?"
Chen Qingdong took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Then what you said is too right, just rely on us, no matter how hard we work in this life, we can't become the biggest leader, so we definitely can't get rid of being led by others." ”
Li Xiaolu said: "What if you become a big leader? In my opinion, the higher the level of the leader, the less freedom there is. Just like your county party secretary, although he is a big man in your county, but in other places, few people know him, and he can still go on a trip, go shopping or something. But at the level of the secretary of the provincial party committee, then you have to start the security procedure if you go out casually. When he came to inspect the cities and counties below, he also needed the armed police to open the way, and he had to clear the scene when he traveled to any scenic spot, or a large group of people followed. Even if you go abroad, you are accompanied by a bunch of subordinates. In this way, even if they have no private world of their own, how can they talk about freedom? This is still the provincial and ministerial level leaders, but if we look at it again? Those leaders at higher levels have even less freedom. ”
Chen Qingdong admitted that what Li Xiaolu said was true, but the freedom that Chen Qingdong thought was still different from the freedom that Li Xiaolu said. Li Xiaolu is only talking about freedom in life, or physical freedom, but what Chen Qingdong pursues is spiritual freedom, so for him, the bigger and higher the level of the official he will be in the future, the less influence he will be influenced by others, and his will will will be more thoroughly reflected.
Everyone pursues freedom, this is the natural attribute of human beings, who wants to always listen to others? Because of this, Pei Duofei's little poem "Sincerity is precious, love is more valuable." If it is free, both can be thrown. It has been widely praised by people for so many years.
However, Pei Duofei's poem was written during the war years, and what he pursued in this poem was mainly inclined to physical freedom, but in Chen Qingdong's view, spiritual freedom is far more important than physical freedom, which is one of the reasons why Chen Qingdong is extremely power-seeking.
Of course, Chen Qingdong is also unwilling to debate with Li Xiaolu on this topic, everyone has their own values, and any attempt to impose their own values on others is stupid.
Chen Qingdong followed Li Xiaolu's words and said: "Xiaolu, according to what you say, isn't it true that the more civilians are, the freer they are? Or are those business bosses who have no one to take care of, and they can do whatever they want, are such people more free?"
Li Xiaolu shook his head again and said, "This is not necessarily. Although those civilians are relatively free in life and not so many people pay attention to him, since they live in this society, they have social attributes and have to abide by various rules. What's more, these civilians often can't achieve financial freedom, so what they want to do, for example, they like a small town in Europe and want to live there for a while, but they don't have the money in their hands, so they can't go, which is not how free they are. ”
"Those bosses are not free, they seem to have no one to manage, they have money in their hands, they can do whatever they want, but in fact, there are still a lot of regulators managing them, and they still have so many employees, as a boss, he has to be responsible for his employees, right? More importantly, they have to do business for the operation of the company, since they have to deal with people to do business, and they always want to let the other party do business according to their own will, sign contracts, but how can people be so obedient? This inevitably requires rounds of negotiations, and the amount is ...... When I think about it, I get a big head, and it's not freedom. ”
Chen Qingdong couldn't help laughing and teased: "Xiaolu, there are so many interesting things in your little head." ”
Li Xiaolu glared at Chen Qingdong and said, "This is not something fun, but the crystallization of my thoughts." ”
Chen Qingdong smiled and said, "Okay, but according to your thoughts, I think the pursuit of freedom is really a super difficult, super difficult thing!"
Li Xiaolu sighed and said: "Who said it wasn't! This is a super difficult, super difficult thing! So I think what you just said is very right, since you are born as a human being, you cannot have absolute freedom, you can only pursue relative freedom!"
"I have the following requirements for myself, first: I will never be any leader, I don't want to lead others, and I don't want to be led by others. Second, I absolutely do not want to live according to other people's wishes or other people's expectations of me, I am unique, so I also live a different and unique life, and I must not be forced by any so-called mainstream values to trick my mind! Third, I will continue to move forward on the road of pursuing freedom all my life!"
Hearing the words "strong and rape" from the mouth of Li Xiaolu, Chen Qingdong couldn't help but think about it, and almost laughed, but he knew that Li Xiaolu was talking about a very serious matter, if he laughed, it would be too bad for Li Xiaolu to give face, so he barely held back, stretched out his thumb to Li Xiaolu, and exclaimed: "Xiaolu, your words definitely shine with the brilliance of thought!"
Li Xiaolu ignored Chen Qingdong's ridicule, and continued with a whimsical look: "I actually don't want to have a fixed job, but now I am reluctant to give up the profession of a reporter, because this is the most suitable thing I can think of at the moment, if I don't work, I really don't know what to do." As for traveling or something, it's okay to relax after work, if I don't do anything every day, just travel everywhere, then I will definitely die of emptiness. ”
Chen Qingdong said: "Well, I understand your thoughts, but I have a suggestion?"
Li Xiaolu's eyes lit up and said, "What suggestions?"
"Freelance writer, or columnist. Chen Qingdong said, "I think the work of a freelance writer or columnist is also similar to the work of a journalist, as a freelance writer or columnist, you can also write news, or comment on hot news." Moreover, this kind of identity is also relatively free, the point of view only represents an individual, not an institution, and the text written, even if the content is sensitive, is generally not killed. In addition, I think that the era of online self-media is coming soon, when everyone is a writer, everyone is a journalist, everyone can speak freely on the Internet, and at that time, everyone can at least achieve great freedom on the Internet. ”
Li Xiaolu was very shocked by Chen Qingdong's words, and his eyes shone with admiration, and asked: "Qingdong, did you come up with these things yourself, or did you read some radical articles abroad and get inspiration?"
Chen Qingdong touched his head and said, "Is this any kind of inspiration, I'm just talking about it casually......"
Li Xiaolu said excitedly: "The statement of 'self-media' has been put forward by some radical Internet experts in the United States, and the impact is not too great, in our country, there should be no such formulation, you can put forward this concept, it is really surprising to me!"
"Really?" Chen Qingdong touched his head unconsciously, and said with some embarrassment, "I just said it casually, I didn't expect to be able to think of it with some Internet experts in the United States, hehe, coincidence, it's a pure coincidence......"
Li Xiaolu did not hold on to this topic, but said with great anticipation: "I happened to see this article published in a foreign magazine at that time, and I was very happy and looking forward to this day as soon as possible." According to that article, after the advent of the era of self-media, there will be an earth-shaking change in the world of journalism! At that time, the whole world will be more closely linked, and everyone's life will undergo earth-shaking changes! At that day, although we will still be bound by all kinds of constraints in real life, we will be able to live a relatively free life on the Internet! I am really looking forward to the arrival of this era soon!
Today, after listening to Li Xiaolu's discussion of freedom and the life he yearns for, Chen Qingdong has a new understanding of Li Xiaolu, this is really a girl with "peculiar" thoughts, but people like it deeply!
At this time, looking at Li Xiaolu's gaze full of expectation, Chen Qingdong also said: "Yes, I am also very much looking forward to the arrival of this era soon!"
