On Feb. 10, Xi Jinping‘s speech at the so-called reunion, which the Communist Party organizes before each Lunar New Year, was nothing new. He continued to take credit for the so-called victory against the Epidemic, economic recovery and poverty eradication, and tried to cheer up his subordinates, but said that “no difficulty can defeat us” and “no force can stop us”.
As the New Year approaches, it seems that Xi’s heart is still heavy. After all, it’s New Year’s Eve, and he didn’t talk about how big the difficulties are, or how much power is in his way. But he did lower the tone, saying only that he “adheres to the general keynote of seeking progress in a stable manner” and “coordinates development and security”, and that the lofty sentiments of the Communist Party’s top brass are clearly gone.
Two years ago, at the 2019 New Year’s Reunion, Xi Jinping was enthusiastic, saying he had “gained more confidence and courage, more determination and more vigor” and that he wanted to achieve “great ambitions”. In the Year of the Pig, Xi said “the pig is the first of the six animals” and hoped that “the grains will be abundant and the six animals will flourish” and “the more prosperous we live, the more prosperous we will be”. 2021 is the Year of the Ox, and Xi spoke more about the ox. The year 2021 is the Year of the Ox, and Xi Jinping has spoken more about the ox, but the mood and symbolism is much worse.
Xi Jinping called for “remembering the original intention”, “standing at the forefront of attacking and overcoming difficulties”, and “always being invincible”.
Xi Jinping’s speech clearly lowered the goal, but also revealed an endless worry. This hidden worry is also reflected in his discourse on cattle, he called “selfless dedication” is “children’s cattle”; “innovation and development, overcome difficulties” is “pioneering cattle “; “hard work and endurance” is the “old bull”.
Xi Jinping encouraged CCP officials at all levels to be “children’s cattle”, “pioneering cattle” and “old cattle”, and CCP officials should echo the same words, but are they really willing to be these three kinds of cattle?
It is hard to imagine how many officials at all levels of the CCP climbed to official positions for “selfless dedication”, and how many are now willing to “overcome difficulties” with Xi Jinping. It should be safe to say that almost no one will “struggle hard and endure hardship”. They have always been high up, and in the end, it is only the majority of ordinary people who will be the cattle and horses.
The Communist cattle herders do not even bother to do the job of herding cattle, and the common people who become cattle can only find their own grass, and if they accidentally catch the plague, they will be kicked out of the barn and have to fend for themselves, and the rest will have to continue to obediently listen to the Communist cattle herders. The most you can do is to catch your own breath after being whipped.
Xi Jinping concluded by saying that he wanted to bring out “the strength of a cow that is not afraid of hardship and can endure hardship”, still referring to the common people; and that he also wanted to “raise the whip without raising the hoof”, expecting the Communist cowherd not to whip the common people is impossible, the common people not only have to suffer constantly in order to make a living, but also to be whipped constantly. In order to make a living, the people will not only suffer, but also be whipped continuously.
Xi Jinping’s New Year’s cow theory, I wonder how many ordinary people can reflect on the New Year, repeatedly claiming that “selfless dedication” of the “children of the cow” officials, but is only a vicious wielding the whip of the cowherd, how long to let these people whipping?
