Chapter 480: Let the baby come home
"Let the baby come home - Ye Wei Sina Blog, August 29, 2006 2:12
A handicapped girl (her real age is uncertain) between the ages of 4 and 6 years old sits in the middle of a bustling stretch of Tianhe Road in Guangzhou's Tianhe District, next to a pedestrian bridge, outside of a high-rise building, begging at every passer-by, with flies biting her feet that she is suspected of being injured and disabled.
This was what I witnessed with my own eyes on the evening of the 28th, and I was stunned all at once.
I've seen a lot of slum films, and I've learned a little bit about it, and I know that in developing countries like Mexico, Brazil, India, South Africa, etc., this is the case, and it's even worse. Before coming to Guangzhou, I was in the Ailu slum in Nairobi, Kenya, Africa, and I saw all kinds of sins that trample on my soul.
However, in my mind, what is happening in front of me will not happen in China, even though China is also a developing country.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and I'm just an American if you look at nationality. Many Chinese people are strange because of my deep affection for China, and many more people doubt whether I understand Chinese and whether I understand China. As I said at the beginning, I understand and love China better than everyone thinks.
My grandfather was born in troubled times, and as a matter of course, he served the country and made great achievements in the War of Resistance Against Japan, especially for his wisdom and courage in the Battle of Taierzhuang, and was awarded the third-class Baoding Medal of the government of the Republic of China at that time. Later, before the outbreak of the Civil War, he did not want to get his hands stained with the blood of his compatriots and immigrated to the United States.
My father adheres to the family motto, although he is a dentist, he can also be called benevolent and righteous. My mother, who graduated from the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of California, San Francisco, was educated by her earnest education, learning "Thousand Character Essays" at the age of 2, "Three Hundred Tang Poems" at the age of 3, and "The Analects" at the age of 5.
I traveled to China with my parents for the first time in the summer of 1991 when I was 3 years old, and I traveled to China every year until 2003, when my family fell into the middle of the road, which was a different story. After two years, I relied on hard work and good fortune to change my life again, and on August 26, 2006, I came to China alone for the first time.
I just want to tell you that no matter who admits it or not, I am also a Chinese, and I also belong to this country.
From 1991 to 2003, from the age of 3 to 15, I witnessed the great changes in China, from south to north, from east to west, I traveled with my parents almost all over China's mountains and rivers, and tasted delicious food from all over the world. That's exactly what I used to do, to appreciate the good side of China, and the bad side that my parents deliberately avoided in advance, in case I developed blind disgust when I was still mentally immature.
This also makes today's incident heartbroken and full of grief and indignation!
I couldn't understand it, and before I walked up to the little girl, I even wondered if it was a movie, a street experiment, a performance art, but it wasn't, and the little girl said her name was Chubby, and the only thing she could say seemed to be: "Brother, give me some money." β
What about her parents and family, what about the police, what about the staff of the child welfare agency, and what about the well-wishers?
Guangzhou is not a city of indifference, and now I learned on the Internet about the "Gong Xuanxuan Incident" that occurred in Baiyun District, and it was a group of kind ordinary citizens who rescued the poor girl. After that, the police who were always one step late investigated and solved the case, and the murderer received a meager legal punishment. The investigative report of the "Information Times" has caused a sensation in China, and all sectors of society have discussed the problems of street children, abduction, and child beggars, which has led to the improvement of the system and the improvement of the situation.
But not enough.
3 years have passed, and another "Gong Xuanxuan" was met by me, yes, the fat girl is a poor little girl who is abducted and manipulated by gangsters who use children to beg.
My sister Ye Duo is the same age as the fat girl, and she had a lost horror almost three months ago, but fortunately she was finally found. Since then, I have been deeply aware of the grief of my family's separation, and I deeply feel that this tragedy should not be happening in the whole world. Even in the past, I had to take care of it.
When I called the police, suddenly a middle-aged man beggar came and wanted to snatch the fat girl, and even a van came down and three big men wanted to do something to me. I picked up the chubby girl and ran to call for help, and with the help of enthusiastic passers-by, the thieves fled the scene in panic.
This challenged my understanding of China's law and order situation, and challenged everything.
"What's the matter, she's a beggar, isn't she?" asked a passer-by, who looked like a college student.
I was speechless at this, and I could only yell at him: "She's a child!"
Why can a child be a beggar?
The pipe 2,700 years ago replied to me: "Cangli knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing." This is a universal truth.
It's not that the Chinese are particularly bad, and it's not that the Americans are particularly good. During the Great Depression in the 30s of the last century in the United States, tens of millions of people lost their jobs and millions of children were displaced, eating weeds, picking up garbage, and begging for a living. Today's U.S. also has many social problems, racial inequality, gun proliferation, high unemployment, and no universal health insurance...... It's definitely not a perfect paradise. That's another story.
Every country has both good and bad sides, and depending on its current economic situation, China's child beggars are born out of poverty.
There are no more child beggars in America today. Life has taught me that if you find a suspected homeless child on the street and call 911, many people will call it, and the police will come and take the child away and hand it over to the child protection department, and the child will be given the best protection. If the parents fail to do their duty, the parents will not be able to get their children back, and they will not only lose custody, but even be imprisoned.
After the improvement of the system from the 70s to the present, there are many homeless people and beggars in the United States, and the figure of street children can only be seen in movies such as "Hunter's Night" (1955).
Some people may say: "It's good that you know, darkness exists all over the world, and the U.S. child protection mechanism is not achieved overnight, and China still needs to develop." β
I agree with you, then develop.
Our nation has never been a selfish nation that is indifferent to children.
China is one of the first countries in the world to set up orphanages, as early as 1500 years ago, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it opened a "solitary garden" to house and raise orphans and orphans. Earlier, 2,300 years ago, Mencius said, "The old man is old, and the old man is old." The young of me, and the young of man. Earlier, 2,500 years ago, Fan Chi asked Ren, and Zi said: "Lover." β
There is no trivial matter related to the old and the young, and how a country treats the elderly and children depends on how it treats the elderly, which is a conclusion that the ancients have long had.
So I used to think that China could lag behind in everything, but it would never lag behind in child protection. However, the reality gave me a slap in the face, the state did not act, and the passers-by did not act, I almost lost my mind at that time, but after some exchanges, I understood the passers-by, because there is its complexity and sadness behind it.
Before they can act, a practical question is in front of them: When I reach out, what trouble will I have?
In the United States, passers-by make a phone call, and there is a mechanism to take care of the rest of the follow-up. In most parts of China, it is not a phone call that can be solved, the police may just drive away the beggars, the current child protection department may shirk each other, and the underworld forces involved may retaliate afterwards, ruin your life, or even beat you on the spot, surround you for money, and put you in a costly trouble.
Such a reality hinders people's courage and consumes people's love.
After a long time, there are many incidents where good people have not reported well, and society has a sad concept that "it has nothing to do with oneself, hang high." I wander around the Chinese Internet, and I am most disgusted with such villain sayings, where did "the road is uneven, draw a sword to help"? If the villain is allowed to act rampantly, all the villains in the world will also be villains.
Why do you think that child beggars can exist? How old is it that a disabled child begging on the street is not a big deal? When is it a big deal, is it a big deal when your child is abducted and thrown on the street with broken hands and feet to beg for money?
This is not right! No matter what the relationship between those children and those beggars is, this is not right, children are not tools of anyone, including parents, etc., they are living individuals.
Because of the double failure of reality and concept, a passerby did not lend a helping hand to the child, which is sad but understandable. But he should not say anything "nothing to do with himself, hang it high", he should be dissatisfied, he should be ashamed, and he should say to the status quo, to the country, and to himself: "I don't want to continue like this." β
The more such thoughts there are, the more people will actually take action, like the group of ordinary citizens in Baiyun District, Guangzhou, like me.
When the whole country and the people have such awareness and action, things will be fine, and this is development.
It's not that you don't think about anything, it's not that you are an ostrich to escape from it, it's not that you cover up the problems of other countries, it's not that you don't even want to say "I'm not satisfied with the street children", it's not that you feel sad and helpless and feel that you've done your best.
Don't say "it's none of your business, hang high", even if the reality is full of difficulties, we must stick to the right path, where the road is, although thousands of people have gone to it.
Zi said: "A gentleman wants to be quick to his words and quick to act." "No matter how much I say, it is useless to take action, I will set up a charitable foundation dedicated to helping street children in China, and cooperate with Chinese non-governmental child care organizations to promote the development of child care in China. May my innocence make more children's faces smile again, and let a few more broken families laugh again.
I also hope that celebrities from all walks of life in China will join us in this matter. It is a consensus in ancient and modern times that the gentry of ancient times were good at charity, and that the rich had greater social responsibility, but charity is also as immature as a newborn grass in contemporary China, and it is difficult to find. Rich and celebrities are full of food and drunk, and it is natural for them to donate to give back to the society, otherwise it will be a benefit to the villain.
Every time you travel to a Chinese temple, the incense must be prosperous, and people will spend their surplus money to buy flowers and offer to the Buddha in order to make their wishes. Are the gods and Buddhas just some small people? If you worship them, you will be blessed, but if you don't worship, you will be punished? Buddhists will purify all sentient beings, but this sentient being does not include children? What if the Buddha cut meat to feed the eagle, and cut some surplus money to charity?
I have a "Analects" to give to the monarchs, and Wang Sunjia asked: "It is better to be flattering than to be flattering to the stove." What do you mean?" Zi said, "No." Condemned to heaven, there is nothing to pray for. β
If you have the spare energy to worship God, you should have the spare energy to be charitable, and the Buddha wishes so. Whether rich or ordinary people, they should be charitable if they have the means to do so.
Poverty breeds sin, and love and dreams become grass and mustard, but it is precisely because of love and dreams that poverty dissipates and evil disappears.
Some people may say, "Who are you, you are in charge?"
Are you angry? Are you unhappy? Are you disdainful? Are you thinking that I am talking big, pointing fingers, and being righteous and awe-inspiring, and don't know what to say? Don't you want me to say or do anything? Because you don't want to listen, you don't want to do, you don't want to want to think. Someone else did it, and you look embarrassed.
Hate me, despise me, laugh at me, spit on me, curse me, cover your ears and hide away.
Lao Tzu said: "Not smiling is not enough for the Tao!" Confucius said: "If you don't suffer from others, you don't know yourself, and you don't know people when you suffer from them!"
I know that in China, people like me and their speeches are called "public knowledge", and there are good and bad people, there are gentlemen, there are villains, there are true and false, this is a controversial group.
The so-called public intellectuals are nothing more than the concept of "public intellectuals" proposed by the American UCLA historian Russell Jacobi in his book "The Last Intellectuals" 19 years ago: real intellectuals must have professional qualities, world vision, social responsibility, cultural responsibility, actions to transform society, and the courage to act as a social guide.
However, as early as 2,500 years ago, Confucius led 3,000 disciples on a study tour to try to change the chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period with a small force. Since then, for generations, countless aspirants have traveled all their lives for the country and the people. As Zeng Zi said: "A scholar cannot fail to Hongyi, and there is a long way to go." Benevolence is one's own responsibility, and it is not too important to die, and it is not far away?"
What is the difference between the so-called "public intellectuals" and the so-called scholars and so-called gentlemen in China for thousands of years?
I borrow Mencius's holy words to add one more standard: the rich and the rich cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent, which is the true public knowledge.
Whether I am a public knowledge or a gentleman, I am far from being a saint, nor an idol, but a bastard with a clear conscience, an ordinary person who is sad and angry.
But I respect those who are truly knowledgeable, and the practical things they do will not disappear because they are spurned and those who cover their ears, but only reap good results, and I also respect the ordinary people who yearn for public knowledge, which is why we study to become better.
Blindly hating the well-known, I have a sentence that I hate when I learn Cantonese: You are all reading books and reading.
Those who share this heart with me, woohoo! Encouragement!
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the road to ice melting will be long. Today's evil consequences, in addition to poverty, must be due to various aspects. But please do more, do more, do more people, even if it's just to show solidarity with me online, because I may need your solidarity so badly.
A white friend who is a Chinese expert advised me not to speak up, because I am a foreigner, and I should not be in charge, and I cannot be in charge. Some Chinese people will not be happy with my question, "What does it have to do with me if a street child dies?" When someone reveals this scar, they will be furious and eager to eat my flesh raw.
If I provoke the displeasure of any official, I will be banned at any time, and Ye Wei will disappear in China from then on.
The great fallacy of the world! The great ridiculousness of the world! In ancient times, there were officials who spoke, but now they can't even tolerate a scholar who chews his tongue?
If this murderous statement comes true, I will laugh. Ladies and gentlemen, you have lived in the Zhumen for a long time, and you don't care about freezing your bones, and you don't let people take care of it, just because you have saved your face and pulled you out of the wine pond and meat forest to blow the wind, you are so angry that you can't wait to put me to death?
Du Fu Shiyun: "There are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande, and the cold people in the world are happy, and the wind and rain do not move like a mountain!
I am now usurping the poem with words: "There are thousands of paradises, sheltering the children of the world are happy, and the wind and rain are not moving! Woohoo! When the streets will no longer see Liuer, it is enough for Ye Wei to be expelled!"
I know that in China, the power of an official can give life to a person, and a word can give death to a person.
I beg you! I beg you, which official has a good heart to save these children! Actually, is it very complicated? Not at all. This is the simplest thing, because there is no dispute about the rights and wrongs of it. If the brains of the officials are not enough, I, a man who has returned to his ancestors in a foreign land, has a naΓ―ve suggestion to break the ice quickly:
As long as the police throughout the country are cleared of the whole city, street children, whether they are voluntary, forced, following real parents or fake parents, will be rescued and rescued by each parent, punished by defaulting parents, and arrested by criminals. At the same time, we should do a good job of publicizing the whole people, and when we see street children, we can call the police one by one, and just go to the police, it's all right!
In less than a month, a new wind will be established, and within a year, there will be no more children among Chinese beggars.
Do you have any doubts? No one has the right to let a child wander and beg for food, and no one can use this as a means to make a fortune, not parents, no human traffickers, and no one can do it for the children themselves. Children don't have a mature sense of right and wrong, and neither do we?
Isn't it difficult? Isn't it very difficult, build a few more children's welfare homes, drink a few fewer bottles of Moutai, and 365 days of drunken life and death will become 360 days.
The poor bad guy still has an excuse, and the helpless passerby also has a reason, but the state does not. China's current economic situation is not similar to that of the Great Depression in the United States, it is much better, what makes you push it in every possible way? God is tired of it, God is tired of it!
There is benevolence and righteousness in the waste of the road, and there are loyal ministers in the chaos of the country. If there is a great lord of the blue sky, a great loyal minister of China, who has a trace of pain, why not take action? Quickly establish a perfect child protection system and complete the great task of this country.
If even the state abandons the children, the children can only cry and say, "Give me some money." But he couldn't say: "Goose goose goose, the song sings to the sky." The white hair floats in the green water, and the red anthurium plucks the clear waves. β
Officials, you'd better start to take care of it, you're afraid of losing face, I'm not afraid.
When I'm going to make a film about Chinese children beggars, it's an Oscar favorite, maybe the best picture. But do you have to let "foreigners" shoot it? Isn't there a Chinese filmmaker making it? Independent filmmakers who are not afraid of censorship and banning? Big directors with connections? Where are you all dead? What about the power of Chinese-language films?
In 1992, there was "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit" directed by Zhang Yimou, in 1994 there was "Xinjiang Baby Came to Guangzhou" directed by Wang Jin, in 1995 there was "Tianlun" directed by Guo Kaimin, and in 1996 there was "Stranger" directed by Huang Jun. Now, I know about Li Yang's unscreened new film, Blind Mountain, a film about the abduction and trafficking of Chinese women.
Anything to reach out to children is the right time. Anyone who is interested in making any Chinese film on the theme of abduction comes to me, I am willing to invest and help promote it internationally.
If you have to "make a fool of yourself", the officials and lords are willing to take care of it, and the people are willing to wake up, then I will make it bigger, show this ugliness to the people of the whole world, and the whole world will blame you, so that you can all do something.
Even the polar bears in the Arctic, the penguins in the Antarctic, the piranhas in the Amazon jungles, the elephants in Africa, and even the extinct dodos torture and beat you.
I have heard all the animals of the seven continents and four oceans speak the same sentence:
"Be nosy, let the baby go home, so you're human." βγ

Soon after the Sina blog was launched in September 2005, the official launched the Sina blog of the Chinese-American film genius "Brother Wei" Ye Wei. In addition to the occasional short log, Spring Festival and other holiday greetings when he first opened, he usually synchronizes the articles of his two English blogs. As a result, fans have been complaining, but the brokerage team is taking care of it.
Ye Wei's Chinese blog is also far less popular than Xu Jinglei, Han Han and other local Chinese blog celebrities, when this month Xu Jinglei's "Old Xu" blog hits exceeded 50 million, Ye Wei's "Brother Wei" blog hits less than 10 million, and the YouTube video "Polar Bear Greetings to Humans" now has more than 15 million hits, and it is also popular to be reposted to domestic video sharing sites such as Tudou and Youku, making him a hot spot recently.
In the middle of the night on the 29th, fans were surprised to find that Brother Wei came to Guangzhou, China, and just wrote a long Chinese article that was first published on Sina Blog, accompanied by a large number of poignant pictures, recording the process of "fat girls" begging on the street and being sent to children's rescue centers.
And this blog post ......
This... This...... There are many well-known people on Sina blogs, some of which are sought after, and some of which are already notorious, and very few dare to speak like this. Although Brother Wei said that he was not, he suddenly became a public knowledge in China, and when he wrote such an article, the most hardcore VIY Chinese fans were frightened: "Brother Wei, isn't this a blog stolen?" and "Team article?"
Ye Wei has always claimed to be "rich and rich in three cars" for Chinese culture, and people don't even believe in it, thinking that it is just a set of words.
This time I really saw it thoroughly, and his article was praised by the "Southern Metropolis Daily" as "flowing clouds and water, full of passion and Chinese, like thunder in the ears to the point, painful and rational and objective", greatly showing his sinology skills, bookish spirit and keen insights.
However, the secrets all looked at it, and there were more than three cars, and there were more than five cars! Some people could not understand what Mencius meant.
But everyone understands what this thing is.
To say that VIY in the United States, the latest Q score (May-August) positive Q score rose slightly by 45 points, and the negative Q score hit a new high of 22 points, genius, bad boy, the number one playboy of the new generation, and pop culture symbol. And if you want to say that Brother Wei is in China, the popularity and influence of "that Ye Wei in the United States" is just like that, not to mention the industry people, what you know is basically European and American film entertainment lovers and a small group of young people chasing stars.
If you have to compare, the popularity of "Brother Wei" in China is not to mention compared with Jay Chou, Li Yuchun and others, and Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, and has long ranked 3rd in the "Top 10 Directors" on the Baidu Search Billboard, better than Ang Lee, who won the Oscar for Best Director but only ranked 7th.
is also better than Leonardo DiCaprio, not "Jack", but Leonardo, people who know and follow Leonardo will know Ye Wei, and most of them don't know who Ye Wei is.
Brother Wei went to CCTV's last issue of "Art Life", and ordinary TV viewers didn't know him nine times out of ten.
It was such an American who suddenly sent a blog post denouncing the ugly phenomenon of street children in China in a tone of red heart, in which he rebuked almost everyone such as criminals, rich people, celebrities, ordinary people, cultural people, and officials.
The Internet media are frying the pot, the bloggers are frying the pot, and the netizens are also frying the pot, stirring up a thousand waves with one stone.
quickly divided into two camps, scolding Ye Wei and topping Ye Wei.
Scolding him is not to say that street children should not be managed, but it is also because of the fact that his grandfather has a complex political background, and there is usually a large group of anti-public groups that are only black and larger.
These netizens suddenly exploded everywhere: "You are a SB at night, if you want to hack China, just say it directly, why don't you talk about your American father's campus shooting?", "I am most annoyed by banana people like you, you dare not squeak when you are bullied in the United States, and when you come back to China, you will talk nonsense, CAO your mother, go back to the United States." "Don't you just want to hype up and expand your fame? "If you have time, you should take good care of the beggars in the United States." "Grandson, your movie is hyped into flowers, and my father doesn't even watch it. β......
There are also many netizens who criticize him for not understanding China's national conditions, so they will talk exaggeratedly: "You Yankee know a ball, I once gave alms to a beggar, and then I saw him driving a Mercedes-Benz on the road, and I didn't even look at the beggar when I saw it later." "Why should I care? Work is tired like a dog, do you think you don't have to do it in the United States?", "China is a developing country, and it is not as good as the United States in many aspects, but we are developing!", "Tong beggars have seen a lot since childhood, and the relevant departments don't care, how can ordinary people care?", "If you don't look at it for too long, don't pretend to be forced, Ye Wei, you can pull it down." β......
Some netizens also questioned him: "Didn't you say that Ye Wei is an ordinary person? This obviously has a prominent family background, and he also has a third-class Baoding Medal, and he learned the "Analects" at the age of 5? "His name is Vigor-Ivan-yes, this kid was raised by the US imperialists to oppose China, this is a political article operated by the team, don't be brainwashed by him!", "Seeing that Chinese movies finally have "Crazy Stone", they want to drag us back to make ugly films that please Europe and the United States......?
Obviously, almost all the people who scolded Ye Wei would ignore or misinterpret his original meaning, as if what he said was "there can be no beggars in China", "everyone must immediately do whatever it takes", "the United States is heaven, China is hell", and street children, surplus power, the root causes of poverty, reality and concepts, national responsibility, and so on have all been ignored.
At the same time, Ding Ye Wei's netizens and the opposing camp launched a fierce debate. "Let the Baby Come Home" is written thoroughly, and netizens often directly quote Brother Wei's original text to counter all kinds of scolding, but no one persuaded anyone, and the scolders just scolded more ugly.
In the end, the supporters all encouraged: "I have my fellow believers, past and future, thousands." β
"Two days ago I saw a boy beggar on a flyover in my place...... I walked over it. Hey, I can't do more, Brother Dingwei is one!", "College students don't have much money, Brother Wei, when will your foundation be established, I will donate some food money, and I can only help here." "I went to the orphanage to volunteer. β......
And Arnold Shuhua Shengli Beer was surprised and said: "But you don't think your life is long?" Riding a pig to see the sunset was also shocked: "VIY, you are killing yourself!"
What they say, of course, is that it is blocked.
"If Ye Wei had mixed up in China, he would have been finished a long time ago. This is a statement that the Chinese media and the public will not object, just letting the "president" FUCK-OFF is enough for him to finish, and trying to make a Chinese version of "Foul Talk World" for a certain general bureau to "die" is enough for him to finish.
There are constant scandals, frequent girlfriend changes, bad boy? is simply a scum who plays with women.
Personality, rebellious, prodigal, young and frivolous, cool, simply lawless, arrogant, playing big names, brain-dead.
If you want to make a movie at the age of 15, no matter how talented and connected you are, you can't get any opportunities, right?
Or like the 19-year-old Ren Yi (1986-11-5) in 2003 when he was 16 years old from New York to Los Angeles to pursue a film career, found a producer to cooperate, and successfully invited the popular young actress Haydn Panettie starring, as well as Ken Liang, Joe David Moore, Hu Kaili and others to join, and then found investment, in 2005 at the age of 18 to direct, write, plan and produce the unreleased independent film "Shanghai Kiss". It's not going to happen, is it?
"What will happen to Ye Wei when he comes to China" has always been the curiosity of the media, will this big villain become obedient, or will he laugh?
Now the answer is finally revealed, just like the comment of the movie website Time.com: "Brother Wei is cool to China!"
But too many people are worried that Ye Wei will be banned like this, and his words are too sharp. Therefore, some of the bloggers are waiting to see what happens, and some are speaking out in support of Ye Wei.
The infuriating thing came at 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the 29th, and "Brother Wei said" can't be opened, no matter how you refresh it, you can't get in.
However, "Let the Baby Come Home" has been reprinted and circulated in all corners of the Chinese network, Tianya Forum, Maopu, Baidu Tieba, etc., and Sina, NetEase, Phoenix and other online media have reported and discussed, and Western media and social networks have also paid attention......
It should be said that although the Chinese government's control over street children, child beggars, and human trafficking needs to be improved, it has never denied the existence of these problems, nor has it not been a time when people are not allowed to know about and discuss them, such as the "Gong Xuanxuan incident". After all, this is the evil act of criminals, and every country has crime and human trafficking crimes.
When public opinion about the "Gong Xuanxuan Incident" broke out, it was still January 2004, when the influence of the Internet was not as strong as in August 2006, and there was no such social networking tool as Sina Blog.
The "fat girl incident" can't be hidden, and it doesn't have to be hidden, Ye Wei can't be blocked, and it doesn't have to be blocked.
At 7 o'clock in the evening of the 29th, "Brother Wei said" was open again, and nothing changed. I don't know if it was because the upper echelons had changed their attitude, or because they couldn't open it because "the blog collapsed due to a large number of visits" as stated in the Sina announcement, not because it was blocked.
On the same night, Tudou appeared a video of Ye Wei's conversation in Mandarin recorded by a computer camera, once again calling on people to lend a helping hand to the child.
The "chubby girl incident" caused an uproar in China's mainstream media, and in the period of late August and early September, public opinion erupted again.
Guangdong's media were the first to attack, conducting interviews and investigations. The Public Security Department said that there was indeed such a thing, and the "fat girl" who was rescued by Ye Wei had received the best care. Media outlets across the country, including Xinhua Daily and People's Daily, published editorials denouncing and pondering the issue of child beggars, and praising Ye Wei's words and deeds.
To sum it up: "There are aspects that are not well thought out, do not understand China's national conditions, and have some impulsive words, but they can be praised for their enthusiasm." β
The "official masters" gave an attitude, and this kid scolded him, just don't name him, and calm down public opinion!
The Guangdong police immediately set up a special task force to thoroughly investigate the "fat girl incident", and the civil affairs department and the public security department jointly launched a whirlwind operation to rescue street children in the province. On September 2, five days after the case was filed, the police cracked the criminal gang that abducted and sold "fat girls" in Dongguan, arrested 11 suspects and rescued six other children. In five days, 482 street children were rescued in the province.
In many parts of the country, similar cyclone actions are being carried out, and plans for the establishment of child care centers in many provinces have also been proposed by deputies to the National People's Congress.
Because of the fat girl incident and Ye Wei's vigorous promotion, the traffic and volunteers have increased greatly, and a consciousness is sprouting and a force is growing.
On the evening of August 29, there was also a tragic incident that shocked the Chinese media public, Hu Ge, the 24-year-old most popular and promising actor of the new generation in the mainland, was in a car accident on the Jiaxing section of the Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway, and the female assistant Zhang Mian died of ineffective rescue, while Hu Ge was seriously injured and was not in danger of life after rescue, but was seriously disfigured. For the actors, this is a fatal blow, and Hu Ge's fate suddenly doesn't know where to go.
The media and the public can only mourn in silence for the dead and bless the living.
"Brother, hold on, recover well, you will be fine, and look forward to our future cooperation." This is Ye Wei's blessing on Sina Blog.
Brother Wei is undoubtedly one of the most active elements during this time, since the 30th, he has had a number of news interviews appeared in the online and offline media, Sina.com, Time.com, "Information Times", "Southern Metropolis Daily", "Legal Evening News", etc., he also appeared on the blog on September 1 to hold a fan Q&A meeting, personally replied to more than a dozen questions.
The netizens who asked the questions and got replies were very happy, and the people who watched the excitement were also happy. Some of VIY's replies are serious, some are humorous, and "pretty cool" is the evaluation he has used many times, such as Huang Jianxiang's passionate commentary on the World Cup, he commented, "It's cool, I like the passion of football." Regarding "Crazy Stone", he commented, "I took the time to watch it today, not only the reference of "Two Big Smoking Guns", but also its own things, which is very cool." β......
Ye Wei is not only active on the Internet, according to entertainment media reports, on August 28, he canceled the original travel plan, and went to Beijing on August 31 to record a number of programs, including CCTV's "Yang Lan Interview", "The 10th Screening Room" special program "Genius Ye Wei" two episodes, Phoenix Satellite TV's "Luyu Appointment", and also appeared in "Rule of Law Online".
Through these programs and the program videos circulating on the Internet, whether they knew each other before or not, Chinese fans and fans have a new understanding of Ye Wei.
also made Ye Wei special topics through some online media, such as NetEase's "The Light and Darkness of the Genius Ye Wei", introducing his film career, genius deeds, bad boy deeds, especially his private life, and he dated 10 objects in half a year, some of which were dated at the same time. The special page also puts all the photos of "VIY girlfriends".
Some gossip websites in the United States, such as LaineyGossip, are of the nature of anti-counterfeiting, exposing emotional liars in the entertainment industry and disclosing third parties, paper can't contain the fire, who is a playboy, who is a good man, who is a bad girl, who is a good girl, and the life style of a celebrity will surface after a long time.
Playboys have one thing in common, they will always be publicly scolded by their ex-girlfriends, cheating on feelings, being despicable, hypocrites, jerks, disgusting, and actually not good at sexual ability......
But the amazing thing is that Ye Wei has not been scolded by "Ex" so far, and he can be called a model worker in the ex-boyfriend world.
None of his predecessors scolded Ye Wei, they all praised him, and the scolding was also laughing and scolding, including those ordinary ex-girlfriends before his debut. Someone scolded him for being scolded by his ex-girlfriend for "what do you know", and he had a famous quote revealed by an insider called "I have always been frank and sincere in picking up girls", so LaineyGossip came to a surprising conclusion early on:
Ye Wei has never deceived all the girls in his relationship with them no matter what, and almost all of his predecessors want to get back together with him, or maintain a good relationship, so they will maintain him.
On the Chinese Internet, there are people who are famous for fighting fakes, and there are human flesh searches in forums such as Tianya and Maopu, but this time they want to fight Ye Wei's fake, and those who expose his ugly true face have not sung. Because Ye Wei's ugly true face has always been obvious, he even calls himself a big villain, Satan, and a fool...... What kind of fake is this, at most, it is just popular science.
Or like this, a hot NetEase comment that has become a buzzword for various characters:
"I get tattoos, I drink, I fight, I love middle fingers, my mouth is dirty, I play one-night stands, my private life is chaotic, my ex-girlfriend is in his twenties, the whole country says I'm a bad guy, when I come to China, I'm a good boy, I'm a genius Ye Wei. β
However, Wei Mi said that "Brother Wei is originally a combination of a good boy and a bad boy", and the new fans who have increased exponentially have seen the other side of Brother Wei, which is really perfect.
187cm tall, strong European and American figure, handsome appearance, both good and evil temperament, only 18 years old, but self-made worth of hundreds of millions of yuan, keen on charity, talented, humorous, outstanding achievements, is a film genius, also writes columns, writes film reviews and novels, plays photography, and engages in music......
It is true that people are more powerful than men, but the secret ones are growing rapidly, and the black ones are also growing rapidly. Not only because of the "Fat Girl Incident", but also because of some Wei Mi's ridicule of other young stars: "Brother Wei, what are you doing, what can you do with Brother Chun?", "Brother Wei, why don't you go to participate in the fast man, scare those turtles to death." β
This triggered a conflict between fans, "Is it better to chase a European and American star?", "My family's is not as good as Ye Wei, so what? "If you like Ye Wei, you like to go, why are you involved with others, who is afraid of whom!"
But some hardcore old Weimi also said that those people are fake and extremely secret, and the real secret will not be compared with VIY and other stars of the same age, can it be compared?
In the hot spots on the Internet, Ye Wei's personal pursuit has overshadowed the attention of the fat girl incident. Of course, the hotter Ye Wei is, the more attention the fat girl incident will receive.
On the evening of September 3, Ye Wei published an article titled "Goodbye, China. He is going back to Los Angeles from Beijing and will travel again next year, hoping that there will be no more street children in China.
"Brother Wei, take care!", "When your movie is released in the mainland, I will definitely support it." "Brother Wei, good people have good rewards, I wish you to win the Oscar next year!", "Chinese street children thank you! It may not work next year, but it should be about the same in 5 or 6 years." β......
On the comment message board of this journal, netizens reluctantly said goodbye and told all kinds of good wishes.

Later events proved that Ye Wei did not break his promise, not just say but not do the pseudo-public knowledge, in December 2006, he established the "Baby Home China Charity Foundation", and he alone donated 5 million US dollars as a start-up capital.
This foundation, in cooperation with the "Baby Come Home" network and the "Save the Beggars" network founded by Ye Weixin, has made outstanding contributions to promoting the atmosphere and practical actions.
However, the sensational "Fat Girl Incident" in China was just a gust of wind like the "Gong Xuanxuan Incident", and with the emergence of new social issues, it was quickly forgotten by the media and the public until the next sensational incident occurred.
In 2008, there was the "Peng Wenle abduction incident", but the police could not find it, and the baby home organization could not find it. After more than 3 years of unrelenting search by Peng Wenle's father, Peng Gaofeng, and all parties, in 2009, he posted the emerging Chinese version of Twitter, Sina Weibo, "Can the Internet create another miracle?", and during the Spring Festival in 2011, the 1050th day of the search for his son was miraculously recovered.
This is the "Weibo anti-abduction incident", which has triggered a new round of discussions among the media throughout China, many old and new good and bad people, and ordinary netizens about the abduction, street children, and child beggars.
And Ye Wei's "Let the Baby Come Home" has long been all over the Internet, and every time there is a similar incident, it will be used by the media and the public, such as "Is it difficult? 365 days of drunken life and death into 360 days. "Be nosy, let the baby go home, so you're human." "When Brother Wei posted it on Weibo, it was forwarded tens of thousands of times.
People have lamented that it has been so long, but the wishes of the elder brother that "there are no more children among the beggars in China" and "there are thousands of places in the paradise of the world, and the children of the world are happy" have not yet been realized, and they are still discussing whether the child beggars have the freedom to beg.
A few years passed, in 2014, there was the "Dongguan Beggars Incident", and in 2015, there was a "Child Beggars Summer Group Entering Beijing Incident", and the wind blew, but this evil was not extinguished.
At the same time, the "Baby Come Home China Charity Foundation" has become bigger and bigger, and for many years it has been the largest non-governmental charity in China to fight child abduction, and has received support from all walks of life. Over the years, Baby's Home has helped 3,350 families reunite and 9,537 children have been rescued.
In 2009, the number of children on the street was increased by the number of ordinary people who saw a child beggar on the street, took a photo and submitted the information to the website, and the commissioners of the website would cooperate with the public security department to rescue the child beggars, solve the case, and arrest the criminals.
However, in the absence of perfect legal support, those child beggars who are voluntarily related to the big beggars end up returning to their parents to continue begging, and are put on the blacklist by the information database, waiting for the improvement of the law they have been fighting for before being rescued, such as the members of the "child beggars summer group in Beijing incident".
The foundation also cooperates with the local government in some impoverished and ignorant areas, such as Gongxiao Village, to contribute to the education of children.
Years have passed, and although it is still unresolved, the situation is indeed improving.
After the "Fat Girl Incident" in 2006, the key figure Ye Wei rarely made new speeches in this regard, and every incident just put up the old article. And on January 1 every year, he will repost the old article, and only add one more sentence at the end:
[I have heard that all the animals of the seven continents and the four oceans speak the same sentence:
"Be nosy, let the baby go home, so you're human." β

Some media asked Ye Wei why he didn't write some new articles on anti-abduction?
"I have already said what I want to say, and everyone knows what I want to say, and everyone knows what is right and wrong, and there is no dispute about right and wrong. Do something, tomorrow will be better. β
