Three days passed, and the discussion in the newspaper about the Yangcheng Evening News editorial, "Exhibition China Needs to Pay Attention to the Value of Individual Life", became more and more intense. At this time, reports supporting the "Yangcheng Evening News" also emerged one after another, and it can also be seen from here that the "Yangcheng Evening News" has a wide range of contacts.

With the exception of the People's Daily, the country's news chokepoint, almost all newspapers joined the discussion. Not only that, as the discussion began to spread on a large scale, scholars and experts in different fields such as the press, ideology, theory, criticism, education, and so on all wrote articles and published them in newspapers, and all of a sudden the discussion on the "value of personal life" swept the whole country and became the focus of the entire intellectual and cultural circles in China. They actively reported on this great debate on China, claiming that this discussion is of great significance to whether China's democratic process is advancing or retreating.

Why is there such a sensation? In fact, from a deeper perspective, this discussion has extremely deep social causes. Following the establishment of the standard of productive forces at the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 1978, the reflection on human problems, the call for attaching importance to human values, and the confirmation of human subjects soon became the common theme of theoretical research in various fields of social sciences and humanities.

In the midst of this lively hustle and bustle, Ge Wen, who was hiding in the library of Fudan University, was lying on a table, flipping through the thick book in his hand. Sunlight poured in through the window and fell on the cover of the book he had spread out to study, and a few gilded characters of "Marxist Philosophy" shone brightly.

After a long time, Govin closed the book in his hand, straightened up and leaned back in his chair, licked the sour eyes, then took the pen on the table, and wrote the first sentence on the manuscript paper that had long been spread out:

"Everyone's free exhibition is a condition for the free exhibition of a qiē person - ** Declaration"

Linsa had already returned to Guangzhou from Shanghai. When he was in Shanghai, he invited manuscripts from many scholars, including not only experts in the ideological and theoretical circles, but also several well-known scholars in the fields of science and education. After collecting the manuscript, he hurriedly boarded the train and returned to Guangzhou, although he was confident that the "Yangcheng Evening News" would win the discussion, but the harsh reality still forced him to do his best.

Govin still remembers how tired Linsa looked when he and Lin Yiming sent Linsa on the train. When he asked Linsa what he could do, Linsa patted the leather bag straddling his shoulder, and said tiredly: "Everything you need to do is here, you can wait for the final result with peace of mind." ”

At that time, Govyn, who heard Linsa's words and saw Linsa's movements, suddenly had a powerful thought: why don't you write an article anymore? Since this matter started because of oneself, then let this matter end because of oneself! Besides, it is not yet known whether the strategy of "Yangcheng Evening News" can play a role in falling the tide, so you can't pin your hopes on others, right?

As soon as he returned from the train station, Govin asked for leave from the editorial office of Harvest, and spent the next few days in the library of Fudan University, concentrating on writing a magnificent article that would calm the controversy.

The situation in the past few days is really as Govin thought at the train station, even if the supporting experts and scholars join in, it will only make the battle situation more anxious.

Because it's a comment on xìng's article, there is no problem with the writing, and the experience of being a traveler has also filled his mind with all kinds of mature thoughts, just in this way, can he convince everyone?

Govin furrowed his brow, and then wrote:

"In the past few years of the special period, we have taken some detours in our research on humanitarianism and human issues, as well as in the evaluation of relevant literary and artistic works. For a long time, we have always regarded humanism as a revisionist criticism, believing that humanism and Marxism are absolutely incompatible, and this criticism is very one-sided, and some of them are even wrong! This will have serious consequences, both theoretically and practically. ……”

Trying to convince someone who disagrees with their point of view with an article is definitely impossible in the eyes of others.

Do you think that since a person can stick to his own point of view, it must be a concept that has been erected by the environment for decades, and it can be said that it is the person's worldview and outlook on life, and an article can change a person's worldview and outlook on life, is it possible?

It's possible! Hitler's speech can turn a kind German into a real Naji, and an old fù gossip can make a person everywhere turn around and run to the river to kill Jiao, such things have happened since ancient times. It was in the expert building of Fudan University a few days ago, didn't Govern's story almost ruin the faith of the top students of the Ivy League?

It's not that we can't do something, it's that we don't dare to think about it.

Is it just that the writing is passable, and the thinking is mature, can you convince those stubborn oppositionists? You must know that an argumentative essay should not only have arguments and arguments, but also arguments!

Glancing again at the book of Marxist Philosophy on the table, Govin went on to write:

"Opposition to humanitarianism to an idealistic view of history does not mean a general rejection of humanitarianism in any sense. Marxists advocate propagating and practicing socialist humanism, which is humanism as an ethical principle and moral norm, is based on the socialist economic foundation, is compatible with the socialist political system, and belongs to socialist ethics and morality. ……”

In the past few days, there have been more and more articles written in the newspaper because of the editorial of the "Yangcheng Evening News", and these articles have been carefully read and analyzed one by one. Whether it is positive or negative, everyone has focused on the difference between ** and humanitarianism, and the question of "where the propagation of individual life values will be collective".

Therefore, this article should also start from these two aspects, first use the evidence in books such as "Marxist Philosophy" and "** Manifesto" to reverse those opponents who oppose their own views, which is the shield of the spear that has been used to attack themselves, and only in this way can they change their stubborn ideas. So:

"Humanism emphasizes putting people first, affirming the value of human beings, and safeguarding human dignity and rights, which is not contrary to Marxist philosophy. Marx used the term 'human value' many times in a positive sense, and he also put man in the highest position, so 'humanism' is not a term exclusively for the bourgeoisie. Marx only made a radical break with historical idealism, not with humanism. ……”

After clarifying the relationship between humanism and Marxism, it is time to return to the concept of "the value of individual life" that I put forward.

Is advocating the value of individual life a departure from socialism? Is it just ignoring the collective?

I don't think so!

"Five years have passed since the changes of the previous few years, and it is in these five years that China has achieved a myth, with rapid national strength and rapid economic development, and people's lives are healthy. What is the fundamental reason why we have achieved this? Isn't it the national policy of government to persist in reform and opening up and to emancipate the mind? ”

The pen in Gowen's hand swiped faster and faster on the paper, and by this point, he had poured all his feelings into it.

The love and hatred of the country and the society, the grievances and prisons, the love and expectations are vividly swayed on the manuscript paper:

But this has also brought about a huge problem, that is, the economy has prospered, but the problem of people's understanding and thinking has not kept up, and our thinking is still stuck in the collectivist jīng god in the special period, and still in the era of the moment of individual knowledge and collectivity. …… Now, it is time for the Chinese people to come to the era of ideological rejuvenation! ……”

Govin paused quietly, tired from spending days in the library, and tired from the long hours of writing, but what was it compared to what I wanted to do?

Govine took a breath and wrote down the last sentence with all his strength:

"Our eyes are already too dusty, it's time to wipe them down and use them to look out into the distance!"
