According to the information we read in traditional textbooks, the period of the Republic of China, from the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1912 to the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, was the darkest period in China's modern history—the loss of sovereignty, poverty and weakness, constant disasters, starvation, warlordism, foreign powers, and Japanese invasion...... In the popular revolutionary mainstream literary masterpieces such as "The Body Worker", "The White-Haired Girl", "The Wanderings of Sanmao", "The Teahouse", and "Camel Xiangzi", they all reflect the tragic reality of social turmoil, cruel exploitation, and the misery of the people's livelihood and precariousness in the Republic of China era from different perspectives.

However, after the reform and opening up, as modern literary works from Taiwan and overseas flowed into the mainland, the works of Zhang Ailing, Zhou Zuoren, Hu Shi and others were also turned out of the pile of old papers, which made us seem to see another completely different Republic of China from another perspective.

In particular, a series of Qiong Yao novels set in the Republic of China era, such as "Deep Love and Rain", "Water and Clouds", "Tears in the Sky", etc., were sought after in the mainland and remade into TV series, we have seen a Republic of China era full of petty bourgeoisie - a virtuous lady from a church school, an elegant young master who went abroad to study abroad, a cunning maid with deep love for master and servant, a kind and generous wealthy wife, a country man who is respectful and benevolent, and a capitalist boss who loves the country and the people...... In short, the idea is progressive, love is free, life is leisurely, the mood is petty bourgeoisie, courtship is romantic, the government is barely passable, foreigners are polite, and there are all kinds of balls, drinking parties, calligraphy and painting competitions, cultural and entertainment activities, charity activities, I feel that it is a modern society with civilization and progress!

Uh-huh? It turns out that the dark and cruel old society in the textbooks and the poor livelihood of the people actually have such a harmonious and beautiful side?

After entering the 21st century, in some websites and magazines, there have been dizzying waves of historical reversal, and one national hero after another has been pulled off the altar, and they have to step on the bad criticism and label it as destroying national harmony; One traitor after another, the traitors and thieves have been reshaped into golden bodies, becoming bright and upright, and have become models of enduring humiliation and maintaining national unity...... It seems that the history of China over the past thousands of years must be read backwards, all good people must pretend, all bad people must be wronged, and society is constantly regressing......

-- The fact that the major issues of right and wrong, such as justice and evil, light and darkness, can be reversed 180 degrees in the view of history, and people cannot help but have the absurd feeling that "this shijie is turning the world upside down."

For the life of the people in the Republic of China, more and more "new thinking" has emerged, as well as all kinds of "refreshing" "new discoveries". For example, "in 1927, the monthly salary of female textile workers in Wuhan was more than 30 yuan, and she could buy 6000~9000 eggs, and there was no pressure to feed a family of four"; "Apprentices in the old society were far better paid than modern sweatshops, with 72 days of paid leave per year"; "The 'food and clothing' of the Republic of China period has long been no problem, and the 'employee welfare' greatly exceeds any period of New China"; "In the 60 years of New China, the income level of the middle class has not yet reached the poverty line of the Republic of China"......

So, after seeing these "new discoveries" mentioned above, some people wondered: Wow! Since the old society before liberation was so beautiful, social welfare was so advanced, and the landlords and capitalists were so conscientious, the workers and peasants in China, as well as many intellectuals, were all "brain-dead" in their minds? I don't even want my life, I have to follow our party to make a revolution? Do you give up your high salary, shatter your stable life, and bury this "happy" old society?

Naturally, many "public intellectuals" jumped out and shouted in unison: With the help of the Soviets, the Communist Party, which was founded by the Turtle and Turtle Party, which was founded by the Monkey and the Turtle because of its ignorance and lack of skill, studied the cult and engaged in propaganda and agitation, deceived these "incomparably happy" workers, peasants, and students into rebellion, and smashed the Nationalist Government established by the elites and ruined its own free and democratic life. As a result, China ushered in a long period of tragedy, as well as one horrific disaster after another, such as "30 million starved to death", "ten years of catastrophe" and so on. …,

-- In their eyes, the Communist Party is equivalent to Aum Shinrikyo?

According to a joke circulating on the Internet, the basic concept of contemporary "public intellectuals" on modern Chinese history can be roughly summarized as follows: "...... Now there are a few people who know such a great government: it overthrew the decaying feudal dynasty, established a multi-party bicameral democratic government, had a modern army comparable to that of the developed countries, founded many free and modern universities, brought a golden age to the national industry, regained Outer Mongolia on its own strength, but was wiped out by a barbaric army armed with guns and money and advisers by foreigners, and the implementation of one-party dictatorship! ”

- Alas, it's really speechless......

There is such a huge difference in the depiction caliber of Weishenme? Which side is talking nonsense?

How so? Neither of these two sides can be regarded as absolute nonsense, but only that their class positions are very different.

-- Old China in the Republican era did have two completely different faces to observers of different classes. The difference is only in who holds what position and from what perspective that society is viewed.

You know, everyone is selfish at heart, and usually only thinks about things from the perspective of personal interests.

To put it simply, it is the ass that determines the head, and it also determines everyone's thinking.

To take a more extreme example, after the Tibetan rebellion was put down, many of the old Tibetan slave-owning aristocracy went into exile in India. Thanks to the financial support of anti-China shili in Europe and the United States, some of their descendants are mixed well and act as propaganda mouthpieces in those "overseas human rights organizations".

A few years ago, when interviewed by Western reporters, a female writer who was a descendant of the serf owners of old Tibet took out a book of her own works for publicity, recalling her pampered life when she was a child, and talking about how noble and simple the spiritual life of old Tibet was, how holy and selfless the lamas were, how gentle and benevolent the slave owners were, and how handsome and dashing the noble young masters were, and how affectionate and righteous the noble young masters were. And the serfs on the manor, who were always lazy and gluttonous in her writing, refused to work hard all day long, and knew how to steal food from the serf owner's warehouse.

-- When I saw this, I wondered, since old Tibet was so happy and harmonious, the "benevolent" slave owners of Weishenme, after the harvest of the crops, always distributed so little rations to the serfs according to their households, that a bunch of people starved to death every winter?

As for the rumors of skinning people, lighting sky lanterns, killing people and sacrificing the heavens, and using girls' leg bones to make tools, this female writer always avoids talking about it, and she really can't avoid it, saying that this is a religious custom that has been passed down for many years, and "the cultural background is different". "Look at it differently" and "respect local traditions"!

-- According to this argument, should Japan still respect the ancient tradition of burying a human pillar to worship the gods when building a house, and burying a young girl alive in the foundation of every skyscraper?

In her book, she also wrote a story that reflected the "ingratitude" of serfs. Roughly one winter, there was a slave girl whose family ran out of food, and the whole family was about to starve to death, so she had to sneak into her family's manor and eat the food in the warehouse, but her hands and feet were not agile enough, and she was discovered and caught by the thugs on the manor - so her father and brother were all broken and fed to the dogs.

When it was her turn, she was discovered by the writer who was still a noble lady at the time (or her sister, I don't remember very clearly), and because it was pitiful to see this little girl who was scheduled to be beaten to death and fed to the dog, she ordered her life to be spared, and let her do chores in the manor, which was also a reward. The female writer is quite complacent about this, thinking that this is already a great kindness. …,

Not long after, the Tibetan rebellion broke out, and a group of PLA troops fought outside the manor. This slave girl not only did not resist to the death to repay the "great favor", but took the lead in smashing a housekeeper to death and opened the door to "join the enemy...... In the eyes of this female writer, it is really heinous!

From the perspective of mainland readers, the pen of this Tibetan female writer is basically full of inverted black and white -- slave owners and lamas who do not work hard are always righteous and noble perfect saints, while hard-working serfs and Han people are despicable and insidious shameless ghosts. It is simply to depict a hell on earth with barren land, harsh environment, cruel and bloody, ignorant and barbaric, and a beautiful and happy "Shangri-La" like heaven!

It's just that such an absurd text is still widely touted in the West, and it is considered to be the truth that has been covered up by the Communist Party!

There is no way, after a long period of official propaganda by the United States and Western European countries, "Tibet should be independent" has become an unquestionable absolute truth in the minds of most Westerners. You can take a look at the translation and reprint on Longteng's website, as soon as the topic of China is mentioned, many foreign netizens will immediately pull out the matter of Tibet...... According to the propaganda of these "overseas human rights institutions", the Tibetans are strongly eager to return to the "good era" of serfdom and continue to serve the old masters and lamas in exile - here we will not talk about democracy and human rights, but only traditions!

In short, please understand one thing, the right to speak in the major media on Shijie is still in the hands of the big conglomerates on Wall Street in the United States.

The United States thinks that you are happy, but you are also happy if you are bombed every day, hungry, living in refugee camps, and selling your daughter as a prostitute! The United States thinks you are miserable, but you are also miserable if everyone lives in a bungalow, drives a small car, and eats a full banquet! The United States thinks that you are a democracy, and you are engaged in a lifelong ruling system, a hereditary monarchy, and even slavery, which is also democracy! The United States thinks that you are a dictatorship, and you are elected by the whole country with one person, one vote, and a four-year term cannot be re-elected, which is also a dictatorship! Don't forget!

In fact, the media hegemony of the West has many facets, not only in international politics, but even within the scope of natural science!

For example, at the Shijie climate conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, such an absurd basket was poked out -- the United States and Britain said that the Shijie climate is warming, and the Shijie climate must be warming. Even if these "scientific data" from a third-rate university in the UK are proven to be fabricated, even if everyone is about to freeze to death in the severe cold that has not been encountered in a century, the climate of this shijie must still be warming! Otherwise, it's this shijie that has a problem!

(Speaking of this, I can't help but think of a joke that after the victory of the American Revolutionary War and the defeat of Britain, King George III was furious when he saw that the lightning rod invented by Benjamin Franklin, a traitor, was still used in the palace, and ordered the tip of the lightning rod to be changed to a spherical shape.) The scholars tried hard to persuade that this did not conform to the scientific theorem, and George III angrily scolded: I am the king, and all scientific theorems in England must be arranged by me!

If you change this sentence to "I am the United States, all science and history on earth must be arranged by me!" "Wouldn't it be appropriate? ）

Back to the point, no matter how incendiary the writer of exile is, no matter how fanciful and fanciful the writer of exile is. Regardless of whether or not they have the tendency to split the country, I am afraid that those slaves on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau who have finally been liberated will not be willing to let these "benevolent" masters return to the plateau, continue to skin them and cramp them to light sky lanterns, starve a bunch of people to death every year, and then shed a few tears of pity and recite a few excessive scriptures.

-- Slave society is a paradise for slave owners and a hell for slaves. And the pen was in the hands of the slave owner.........

In the era of the Republic of China, it was the same: for the toiling masses, it was hell; And for a handful of "elites", it's heaven!

Some say that this is a few decades ago. Let's take a recent example: a female professor in New Delhi, India, who has a wealthy family and employs many servants. She wrote a short blog post with a photograph boasting about how kind and generous her family was to its servants — specifically, allowing them to watch American soap operas on the large-screen LCD television in the living room when they weren't on duty.

But the problem is that while watching TV, the female professor sits alone on the couch by herself, while the servant has to kneel on the floor. And the couch could seat at least four or five people, with a few chairs next to it...... But the servants could not sit because they were of a low-caste race.

If this is placed in our China, it is simply unimaginable - if you let your nanny at home have a stool and are not allowed to sit, you can only kneel on the floor and watch TV with you, and it is strange that people are not angry!

However, even such a personal insult can be regarded as a sign of tolerance in today's so-called "democratic and free" Indian society.

Chinese bosses may like this unequal social atmosphere, but when it comes to ordinary people, I'm afraid they will explode with anger!

Therefore, as far as the various strata of the entire society are concerned, the Republic of China is good as the Republic of China, and the new China is good as the new China, and it depends on the social status and personal income of each person, and it cannot be generalized
