Reading the "Ten Years of Cultural Revolution and Ten Years of Internet"

By chance, I read this article written by Mr. Yang Hengjun. Mr. Yang used his big pen to pull out two historical scrolls and a simple text, which deeply analyzed the current situation of the development of the Internet in China in the past decade and the striking similarity with the Cultural Revolution. After reading it, it is indeed a great benefit.

During the decade of the Cultural Revolution, many intellectuals were “fallen to the ground”, and “great democracy” gave the majority of young people the right to lead thinking and express their opinions. In the ten years of the Internet's rise, intellectuals have learned the lesson from the reform and opening up to improve the capital of life, while maintaining the "silence is gold" formation, and the openness of the Internet makes people think National future and national destiny. Can the amazing similarities in history bring us some inspiration?

The Internet has brought together countless people's remarks, and the resulting waves are enough to play a pivotal role in many events. For example, Li Gangmen, who is well known in the past two years. An ordinary traffic accident escape case quickly caused public concern because of a phrase "My dad is Li Gang." The parties were forced to come out and admit their mistakes, but after the netizens turned their guns, the storm was gone, and the end of the case became a "secret". This cannot but be said to be the sorrow of society.

In recent years, there have been many officials exposed by Internet users to the Internet. For whatever reason, they are nothing more than the power of outside public opinion. Public opinion is from netizens' speeches. Sometimes netizens' speeches are irrational, and many of them are attacked with unreasonable jealousy and malicious personalities. Lu Xun said that "insults and intimidation are by no means a battle." In the face of bad behavior, sarcasm two sentences, what to do? Is it beautiful and meaningful? For this reason, the provocation of new battles has also become a way for some officials to divert public attention and escape the French Open. Thus, the power of public opinion has no precise goal, and naturally it will not hurt for them.

After a lapse of two years, Yang Dacai, the "smile cousin" who recently received attention, was not so lucky. Netizens "eat a long, wise" and stared at his source of property, forcing him to announce. Income, no matter how he tongues, explain the origin of the watch, in the eyes of netizens, the lies are still invisible. In the end, someone who was poor in technology was dismissed from the investigation and fell into the end of "a smile and a mistake."

This is similar to the way in which the "big-character posters" during the Cultural Revolution were published. It is also the use of relatively open and limited space for independent thinking and speech. In this regard, the views of the seniors on the social system are worthy of reference. But nowadays, we have a broader vision and more rational thinking than the youth of the Cultural Revolution. Thirty years later, we are no longer rigidly focused on class struggle, but more on fairness and justice. In this era of the times, can we repeat the path of the cultural revolutionary young thinkers at a higher level? Can you inherit the thinking of the predecessors and take a new path so that history will not repeat itself? The answer still needs us to explore step by step.
