Chapter 233: Discussion with Xing Ye
Zhu Quan was thinking about how to popularize knowledge for Zhou Xingxing, a character who knew little except movies, when he suddenly had an idea and asked: "Master Xing, do you know that this mention of 'personality cult' is a trap in itself?" ”
"Aha?"
Zhou Xingxing was taken aback.
This "cult of personality" is the knowledge point I just learned, why is it a trap again?
Zhu Quan unexpectedly saw the surprised look on Zhou Xingxing's face, and explained: "Master Xing, as an outstanding filmmaker, you are good at using movies to narrate, I remember that you have a classic line in the movie "Counting Dead Grass" released in 1997..."
Zhou Xingxing's memory is very deep, and he immediately reacted to what Zhu Quan said, nodded, and instantly repeated it in the tone of the characters in the play: "'Open your mouth to the British Empire, shut up the British Empire, have you forgotten that Hong Kong Island is only temporarily lent to you, and it will be returned sooner or later.'" ’。 ”
Zhu Quan immediately applauded and said with a smile: "Yes, Master Xing, that's it!" Because of this sentence, I can worship you for the rest of my life. And a lot of people like me, worship you as well. ”
"So what are the traps you are talking about..."
Zhou Xingxing asked.
Zhu Quan did not directly answer Zhou Xingxing's question, but continued to give an example, and said: "Master Xing, don't worry, you listen to me explain slowly." ”
poured a cup of oolong tea for Zhou Xingxing and motioned for him to take a sip, Zhu Quan also picked up a tea cup, took a sip, and continued:
"What we Chinese people worship has always been people who are loyal to the country and have high morals, and who have always cared about their weal and woe and brought happiness to them.
Xing Ye, you can see the Chinese people spontaneously worship the saints, Guan Gong, and Yue Fei, but you won't see the Chinese people worship the emperors of Tang Taizong; You can see the Chinese people worshiping Sanqing, worshipping the ancestors, and worshipping the stove king, but you won't see the Chinese people worshipping..."
"Isn't this something akin to faith?"
Zhou Xingxing concluded.
"That's right, Master Xing." Zhu Quan nodded and said: "Those Western countries, especially those politicians, philosophers and other people like this, don't they preach that we Chinese people have no faith at all?" ”
"But is it really not? It's just that we Chinese people don't believe in God like them! ”
Zhu Quan snorted coldly.
Zhou Xingxing nodded.
During this time, he was preparing to shoot a movie about Journey to the West, so he also had a lot of research on the differences between various sects, so he could understand Zhu Quan's words.
Zhu Quan saw that Zhou Xingxing understood this, so he took the opportunity to explain: "So, Master Xing, I said that the so-called "personality cult" is a trap in itself, and it is purely an insidious weapon concocted by Western countries to slander "dissident countries" in their eyes. ”
Zhou Xingxing frowned, thinking carefully about Zhu Quan's words to judge whether it was correct.
"Xiao Zhu, what you call 'personality cult', to the extreme, has it become a 'personal superstition'?"
Zhou Xingxing also raised his own confusion.
Zhu Quan continued to explain: "Master Xing, you can take a look, whether it is a cult of personality or a personal superstition, it has always appeared together with non-Western countries such as the Soviet Union, Cuba, Pakistan, and North Korea/Xian, and it is insulated from Western countries, and it is the embodiment of their hegemony in discourse that has always been "what is good is their own, and what is bad is someone else's". ”
Zhu Quan hit the nail on the head, expressed its essence, and said: "And all this is just because we are "different" from them. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Quan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He felt that it was an extremely correct choice for him to become the host, because he could be used as a "mouthpiece" to "set things right", and he could stand on a high place and fight back against this attack with a clear banner, so as to defend the dignity of our nation.
The first step in the fight back is to mercilessly expose the ugly features and sinister intentions of Western countries.
In order to get a better way of communication, then become a host of a national TV station, with his back to the thick thighs of national television, which can no longer be thicker, this is the best way for Zhu Quan to get at present.
In Zhu Quan's view, why do Western countries repeatedly hype up the "cult of personality" and then extend it to "personal superstition"?
The reason for this is, first of all, that they are not used to it in their bones.
Whether before or after the Cold War, China has always maintained its own unique system and resolutely refused to follow the evil path of the West.
In other words:
If they go west, we will go east; If they go east, we will go west.
In more layman's terms, that is:
We must insist on whatever the enemy opposes.
To give a practical example, there has been a recent discussion about whether or not to build a "high-energy accelerator" in China.
In China, many scientists, mainly those who study high-energy physics, hope and promote the pace of building high-energy accelerators in the country.
The representative of the scientists in favor of this is Wang Fangyi, the most famous scientist of Huaguo High Energy Accelerator;
However, there are also many other scientists, mainly those who study other directions, who are clearly opposed to the country's spending on construction.
The representative of this is Yang Ningzhen, the highest-ranking scientist in the world's existing physics community.
However, no matter how fierce the quarrel was, the state remained motionless, without a clear statement, neither rejecting nor agreeing, as if it could not see the problem.
However, in Zhu Quan's view, this does not need to be discussed at all, and the result is quite clear, that is, the country will definitely not approve of the construction of high-energy accelerators.
At least not yet!
Because, now Western countries, whether scientists or high-ranking government officials, are touting China on different occasions and hoping that China will fund its construction.
Adhering to the principle that "we must uphold what the enemy opposes" and the corresponding "we must oppose what the enemy approves", how can the country fall into the trap of Western countries!
After the unfortunate disintegration of the great Soviet/Union, we were forced to choose the "separation of powers".
However, as the eldest son who inherited the great character of the Soviet Union, we did not give in easily, but made institutional innovations with great wisdom and courage.
In other words, it has established the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, embarked on a path completely different from that of the West, and skillfully turned the "separation of powers" into a showpiece for their pleasure.
We are extremely sober:
The real "separation of powers" is a flood of beasts that bring disaster to the country and the people.
Wherever this is done, which one is not quarreling and constantly inefficient.
It's all about serving the people, if you think about it, you can do it, and if you see it, it's so complicated?
And this is where our country is developing so rapidly.
