Recently, WeChat Public, Sohu, Baike, Sina Weibo and other platforms have issued notices to users, requiring public accounts to obtain “Internet News and Information Service License” before providing news and information services to the society. The notice mentioned that if the account does not have the relevant qualifications, it is recommended not to pick and publish, comment and interpret information content related to political, economic, military, diplomatic fields and major emergencies. In other words, the self media will be basically not qualified to deliberate on current affairs.
But in fact, the scope of no delusion is far beyond current affairs. On January 31, the public number “Law and History” was permanently blocked for forwarding an old article entitled “Zhu Yuanzhang’s Sorrow and Su Chiao’s Law” by Professor Yang Xingpei of East China University of Political Science and Law, which had been publicly published long ago to talk about Zhu Yuanzhang’s anti-corruption and the “anti-corruption with corruption” dialogue between Yu Wentai, the founding emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Su Chiao, the minister of strategy. This article was published to discuss the anti-corruption of Zhu Yuanzhang and the “anti-corruption with corruption” dialogue between Yu Wentai, the founding emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Su Chuo, a strategist.
Lawyer Liu Xiaoyuan said in an article in “Lawyer’s Garden”: Mr. Yang Xingpei’s article can be searched online, but somehow it touched the G-spot of WeChat management, and at 9:00 that night, the public number of “Legal History World” was blocked, saying that it was “suspected of fabrication, distortion and unofficial interpretation of historical figures and historical events.” I was surprised that even unofficial interpretations of “historical figures and events” were not allowed! The articles on Chinese and foreign historical figures and events that have been published in Legal History World are all reprinted from books and magazines published in China. Even if the author’s opinion differs from the official history books, it is only the author’s own opinion. The study of history should allow a variety of points of view, rather than the monopoly of historical information, allowing only one voice to exist.
Netizen Rongjian posted: Law and History World, a knowledge professional public number, forwarded articles are published in various domestic academic journals, because they do not conform to the official interpretation, without being divided, they were completely blocked by the platform. As the ancients said: “The mouth of the people is more than The prevention of the river; the river is congested and collapsed, hurting people will be more. The people are also like that. That is why for the river, the decision to make the guide; for the people, the declaration of the word. Now the mouth of the people to prevent the mouth of the people has long exceeded the era of King Li, is the system self-confidence is not afraid of the river congestion and collapse?
There are also netizens posting: from now on, “suspected” of one more crime, called “unofficial interpretation”
A web article entitled “History is written by the people, never and official dry” writes: the ancient cloud: “to copper as a guide, can correct the clothes; to ancient as a guide, can know the rise and fall; to people as a guide, can understand the gains and losses.”
Speaking of the ancient as a guide, it is necessary to understand the ancient. Chinese generations have set up a special record and compile history of the historian, very origin. This is an important factor for Chinese Culture to be passed down. During the Spring and Autumn Period, “the king must write a book”, there are big history, small history, internal history, external history, left history, right history and other history officials. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Duke of Qi Zhuang committed adultery with the wife of his minister Cui Loom (pronounced zhù) and publicly insulted Cui Loom. Cui loom was so angry that he designed to kill Duke Zhuang of Qi, and then made Duke Jing The Emperor and set himself up as a minister to control the power. In those days, regicide was a very serious crime. So, Cui went to Taishibo’s house and made him write that Duke Zhuang had fallen ill and died. However, Taishibu looked up at Cui Loom and wrote disdainfully: In the fifth month of summer, Cui Loom committed regicide. Cui loom was angry and killed him. According to the custom at that Time, the historian was hereditary. Cui Loom summoned his second brother, Taishibu, and pointed his sword at the corpse, threatening him with death. Undaunted, Taishizhong opened a bamboo slip and wrote: “In the fifth month of summer, Cui Loom murdered the king of the country, Guang.”
Cui Loom was furious, killed him, and ordered Taishub’s third brother to write it down again. He said, “It is the duty of historians to write straight. He said, “It is the duty of a historian to write straight. Cui Loom was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and cut him into pieces. He then asked Taishi Ji to fill the vacancy, however, the words remained the same. Cui loom looked up to the sky and sighed. Cui loom regicide, this history can be changed? What’s more, there was a spare tire at that time! Another historian of Qi, Nan Shi, heard that all the brothers of Tai Shi had been killed, and rushed here with a bamboo sketch, ready to take over from the brothers to record the crimes of Cui Loom in the history books, and only returned when he saw that they had been recorded truthfully.
History is written by the people. There is no such thing as an official interpretation of history. The official interpretation of one’s own history has always been a ridiculous thing. You go to all the history schools around the world and they all say the same thing. There has never been a world that has interpreted its own history, and those who want to do so must have evil intentions. History is written by others and future generations, that’s the simple truth.
Netizen Camilla posted: “Many went away and set out on the road to the light. Many are silent, knowing that the only way to survive is to shut their mouths and hold their breath blindfolded; and those who are not willing to let their communities fall are crying as they cross the thick, hidden walls and try to wake those who are asleep with their faint voices ……”
A web article titled “I still believe in the power of the huddle” reads: Many public operators have received a “reminder about the need for public accounts to engage in Internet news and information publishing qualifications” notice. If they do not have the relevant qualifications, they should not pick and publish, comment and interpret information content related to political, economic, military, diplomatic fields and major emergencies, otherwise they will violate relevant laws and regulations and platform operation norms. This means that the public number that publishes hot commentary may face extinction, and the era of total silence may be approaching. According to the “Internet News Information Service License Guide”, only officially recognized news units or units in charge of propaganda departments are eligible to get a license. If banning all self-published media involving news and current affairs, so that 1.4 billion people can only hear one voice and take China back to more than 40 years ago, this is obviously a big regression of more than 40 years of reform and opening up, which will not do any good to this country and this nation. If we look back on the past history, we will find that even in the unpleasant years, there were still loud and powerful big-character posters.
Over the years public numbers have sprung up, and for many operators, public numbers are even the only rice bowl. As we all know, in the age of paper media, a little change in society requires the courage of conscientious media and professional journalists, such as the incident of Sun Zhigang, the power of spectators in the era of self-media is even more powerful, from the tragic death of Qian Yunhui under the wheel to Xu Chunhe was killed for no reason and then to Lei Yang a Life, the role of self-media is evident to all, the network spectators are little by little to promote social awakening and bring hope to the future of China. When the uninformed masses are unwilling to disperse for a long time, they will attract more onlookers. Every word and action of the onlookers will be carried out in full view of the public, and it will be difficult to break through the layers of siege if they want to escape. The angry and restrained onlookers, with their nonviolent noncooperation, never stop looking for the next onlooker, and in this way change China.” The New Weekly once sent out a sentiment with the title “Huddle Changes China”: “Huddle, which may change China, is destined to change ourselves.
The word “spectator” was originally a derogatory term, synonymous with spectator culture, indifference to death, and insensitivity. However, the Internet era has given a new way of existence and meaning to spectatorship, and this process of “spectatorship is participation, sharing is taking a stand”, whether it is news following, blog posting, microblog reposting, public number pushing, WeChat group or even circle of friends voice, although the form is different and the function is different, every spectatorship and every expression is a test of public opinion. The public’s voice is also different from the traditional media.
The hot events that keep happening in real life, whether it’s the election in the United States, or the plague near us, all deserve our attention because no one is an island, no snowflake is innocent when it comes to avalanches! Some people may be glad that “bad luck did not happen to me”, or even cast a disbelieving and disdainful gaze at those who keep watch in the dark, but the consequences of disorder will certainly be borne by everyone, the darkness will not automatically dissipate because of silence, the cold eyes of evil will only lead to similar tragedies repeatedly performed.
I once saw the Korean movie “Melting Pot” and found that the sense of justice varies greatly among different nationalities. I remember that the deaf boy who was victimized in the movie, because he was dissatisfied with the court’s verdict, bravely picked up a sharp knife and stabbed the devil in the abdomen, and died with him when he was crushed by the speeding train. Although the ending of the film did not let the demons one by one to be duly punished, the ending of the sentence but straight to the heart: we fight all the way over, not to change the world, but so that we are not changed by the world.
In the long river of history, we are just a drop in the ocean, a mole in the background of the so-called big time, is the insignificant individual in the multitude of beings. However, each of us is a witness and an observer of this era. As long as we maintain our basic conscience, stand up and shout in the face of any black and evil forces, and stay awake in the face of the unpleasant social reality, I believe that a bright and shining day will come.
Author Cai Shenkun wrote at the end of the article: I know this winter is still very long, the next spring is far away, but the people running in the bitter cold wind, still holding on still moving forward, even if the dream is broken, although the steps are difficult, they still did not give up! We are in such an era, we witnessed the changes of the times, we have no reason to stay away, we have no reason to be silent, believe in the power of the spectator, put yourself into the big time in the wind and waves, do things that can afford to conscience to afford their children and grandchildren.
