I remember former Soviet writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn exclaiming in the Washington Post in February 1974:
“The easiest and easiest way to get back our freedom to give up on ourselves is for you as an individual to never engage in lies. Although lies It’s all over the place, but you can’t get support from me.
As long as we don’t cooperate, there’s a hole in the iron circle. It’s the easiest thing we can do, but it’s the most devastating when it comes to lies. Because as long as people don’t lie, they can’t exist .It’s like an infectious disease that only lives on those who are willing to lie.
While each of us is timid, let us make a choice. Either you consciously serve as a servant of lies (not because you approve of lies, of course, but because you have a family to support, you have to raise children in a lie), or you take off the cloak of a lie and become a person who is true to yourself and respected by your children and contemporaries.”
I’m glad that my generation did not succumb to power, and seeing the online shouts of a 14-year-old child being beaten to death by school violence, the sky is overwhelming. I know that our people are not servants of lies, our conscience is still alive, we long for justice, we long for a truth, although we watched the official announcement rationally, we also saw the video of the beating, We just want to know how much 6+1 equals! We want to know who is the servant of lies, and who is willing to be the lackey of power.
I don’t understand why those who show their breasts and thighs can get millions of likes, while a man who has defended his country for 15 years has white hair and black hair. Veterans can’t even get on the hot search list with the help of millions of netizens. Is it so difficult to seek justice? If a platform is only a voice for capital, what is the meaning of the existence of the masses? Listen to the hypocritical voice of capital and let them tell us that they are “recording a good life” again today?
I remember the French writer Beaumarchais in his work “The Marriage of Figaro” has this sentence: “If the matching is not free, then the praise is meaningless”. We want to see a prosperous, harmonious and happy motherland. Yes, this is what we want to see, but what we want to see is a truly harmonious society, not a hidden harmony. If it is not perfect, we Chinese sons and daughters will If we work hard, if our generation is not good, we have the next generation. There is no need to withdraw from the hot search every time, so that the society does not know where he is lacking, and he cannot know where he should improve.
At the end of the article, Solzhenitsyn is quoted again: “If we are scared Daredevil, then let’s stop complaining that others are oppressing us, we are doing it ourselves. We’ll just have to bend over and wait and let the biologists make our monkey brothers a little more evolved, until the day they can read Understand how worthless and hopeless our minds are. If we dare not even engage in lying, then we are worthless and hopeless. Pushkin’s sarcasm is just right on our heads: “Why give animals freedom ? The fate of their generations is to put on the shackles and accept the whipping. “”.
I hope our generation can take up the burden of rejuvenating China, seek truth in truth, and not lose ourselves in lies.
