77. It's ridiculous that the contest becomes a vote
There is a saying: It is better to bully the white-haired man than to bully the young man. The pen is www.biquge.info saying that young people have unlimited prospects and possibilities, while the old people are already dying, and even if they are bullied, there will be no long-term troubles - of course, this is not right, and it is reasonable to let the three points be distinguished, not to mention, respecting the elderly is a traditional virtue. Pulsatilla can't be bullied casually.
However, in the past few days (June 2016), someone has been bullying the young man. Someone hosts an essay contest that asks the contestants to vote and decides that the top 20 with the most votes can advance to the semi-finals unconditionally. So, make parents and children nervous, moved, helplessly begged grandpa to beg grandma to vote for our baby, if you can't canvass votes, then there are votes, brush votes, in full swing and even crazy, and finally more than 24,000 votes, less one or two votes. Make a regular game vulgar. Just imagine, when Han Han participated in the "New Concept Essay Contest", if he wanted to canvass for votes, he couldn't believe that he had good results. We still know the organizers' urgency to expand their reach. People are hard to dismantle. Okay, you've won.
What does voting have to do with creation? Good is good, talented is talented, and it has nothing to do with the number of votes (this is not a draft). Voting is unfair to the vast majority of authors, and it is said that this time more than 2,800 people across the country participated in the competition. The other works are full of sweat, I'm afraid I don't have time to watch them, will they be buried by voting? I really dare not say.
We often say that some works are "written like elementary school students' compositions" to indicate that they are too young to read. However, I believe that there are many good works in these entries, and I can't read all of them respectfully (reading all of them is the organizer's business), but there are some works that do make my eyes shine and I sigh at myself.
Someday, the dust will settle on this competition, and only God knows how many loyal fans the magazine will be able to amass by then. But for sure, many people will be disappointed. Because many people are inexplicable to participate in this competition, let alone canvassing for votes, they are already deeply disappointed in this essay contest and this magazine, and will they become loyal fans? In fact, parents and students who are not awarded don't have to pay too much attention, as the old saying goes: when you are young, it may not be good. Isn't it? What's more, participating in a competition that requires voting is obviously bullying people, bullying me for having no money and not being able to swipe votes; It's okay to bully me, you can't canvass for votes; Bullied me for being timid and not daring to cheat.
This kind of activity has a huge negative energy, and its evil effect is that many elementary school students feel that many things can be solved with money from an early age. Isn't it? Even the game can be swiped, can be faked, can be "spelled dad" and "spell mom", so what else in this world is not "money makes the ghost grind"? It can be said that in such a competition, the poison is too deep, and Mr. Zhu Zhu is also "laughing and peeing".
Of course, in an era when literary publications are so sluggish, these attempts are understandable. The organizers will be supported by many people if they run the competition honestly. Through the competition, many children saw hope, their talents have been recognized since childhood, and countless Han Han and Guo Jingming have appeared here, which is really immeasurable. And if you have to vote, isn't that obviously bullying? Therefore, I hope that the organizers will not take the voting too seriously, do not be perfunctory, do not make internal decisions, and do their best to select those good writing seedlings, which is the blessing of the nation and the country.
The eyes of the masses are bright, and we will wait and see. Young people can't be bullied, yes, when they grow up, will they feel indignant when they think back to participating in such a ridiculous competition? Yes, we want to succeed, but not for you guys to play, to bully. Judging from the fact that most of the authors have only one or two votes, they are no longer willing to be puppets of the magazine, and the so-called "contest" is dispensable for them, and they have begun to say "no"!
