The Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Communist Party of China recently issued a document to launch a “national experimental zone for wedding reform” to curb the improper customs of marriage. Liu Rishao, a veteran commentator from Hong Kong, worries that under the Communist Party’s single system, policy ambiguity will eventually degenerate into the rule of man and a backlash among the people, leading to a small chaos turning into a big one.
In mainland China, in recent years, the society has seen wedding banquets not only wasteful, but also evolved into “wedding farce”. On the 7th of this month, the Ministry of Civil Affairs issued a document announcing the establishment of “National Experimental Marriage Reform Zones” in 15 regions on the mainland to carry out a three-year reform of wedding customs.
Liu Ruishao, a veteran commentator from Hong Kong who is familiar with Chinese affairs, explained that the so-called “wedding fiasco” is an opportunity to let off steam by making a fuss over the wedding. If only for this point, he said bluntly that he does not oppose, will also clap: “because some places on the mainland now is not custom, simply chaotic, is to take the opportunity to vent, through the so-called wedding farce new room, so it is chaotic, beyond the original boundaries.”
He said, for example, the improper style of mainland weddings, the so-called “wedding” to take advantage of the opportunity to molest and even insult the bride, but also tied the groom to a tree, and then tied the firecrackers on his body and set off, in order to “exercise his tolerance for his wife in the future”, but also forced people to drink wildly, and even add fire wine to drink together: “The groom is not the only one who can not be tied to the tree. Even add fire wine to drink together: “This is simply abuse, murder.”
Liu Ruishao pointed out that the document indicates the need to “change the customs”, reminiscent of the Cultural Revolution: “The Cultural Revolution was also about changing customs, breaking the Four Olds and smashing all the cultural relics.” Although some people say that the times are different, but China’s policy out, administrative power comes with it: “administrative power is the spirit of the top, the bottom of the mental illness, how the officials below to understand the spirit of the top, and then will do according to their own needs, so a policy of the blurred line is not clear, it will make the power of the bottom unlimited expansion. “
He said, because the official policy is vague, the scope of involvement can be constantly expanded, and the implementation can only rely on the judgment and feelings of officials at all levels to act, disguised as a mandate for the rule of man. Because of the factor of human rule, many crooked winds are not necessarily curbed in the implementation.
He cited the example that in rural areas, even some people in order to wedding scenery, at the expense of wedding loans, in debt. In the city, there is also an extremely wasteful situation, with a famous car Rolls-Royce to receive friends and relatives to attend the wedding, a banquet of friends and relatives, the feast opened hundreds of seats, three days are not finished, but local officials on this kind of thing is to turn a blind eye: “Because this is a market economy, you have been talking about the epidemic to stimulate the economy, etc., etc., you even these are to prohibit the words, contradictory, local also So this policy of public power how to use it, it will become the stage of the rule of man, each local officials will consider their own situation, if he wants to claim credit when he will calculate the benefits and harms, which will expand the basis of the rule of man.”
Also, the Ministry of Civil Affairs proposed to “strengthen organizational leadership and form a system of responsibility for piloting and implementation at all levels.” Liu Ruishao said, in other words, “you a supervisor of course, the top do 80 points below to do a full one hundred percent two hundred points, you have to form a system oh, the following will naturally want to hand in homework.” For example, when the epidemic was rampant, some local officials believe that the public should not gather to punish the citizens playing mahjong to carry the mahjong table parade, is an example: “An official ran to use a sledgehammer to break, are photographed on the Internet, then who disobeyed the mahjong table parade, this is not the Cultural Revolution when the public?”
Liu Ruishao stressed that from China’s past historical experience, good policy will be deformed, all because of China’s closed system: “by the official to determine any standard, in this case, you put out such a superficially seems to be a ban on wedding, everyone is in favor of, but the results of the implementation of the time, it was a small chaos has become a big chaos, this is the biggest problem of China’s single system This is the biggest problem of China’s single system.”
The outside world believes that the vulgar wedding farce is getting stronger and stronger, which is actually a clear evidence of the moral decline under the Chinese Communist Party and the indulgence of the people after being brainwashed by atheism.
