Chapter 102 (8) Who is the traitor

Now is the time to tell the truth. Who is Wu Sangui? Is he a traitor? Isn't he a traitor? Determining whether Wu Sangui is a traitor or not is a big question of right and wrong.If there is a mistake in this judgment, then this country, or this nation, will inevitably perish.If a foreign enemy invades, a nation that has lost the simplest concept of right and wrong and has reversed black and white, no one will be willing to stand up and defend the country.They prefer to hide in the rear, as long as they join forces with the aggressors, flanking those soldiers who shed blood and tears for the country and the people, killing their parents, and ravaging their wives and daughters, is enough.The future of such a nation must be very dire.

To evaluate Wu Sangui, we must pay attention to two issues: The first is the universality of human nature. The second is the universality of social rules. Let’s talk about the universality of human nature first. Is Wu Sangui a fighter for international communism who does not benefit himself but only benefits others?Is he a living Lei Feng? We know very well that he is not. So who is he? He is a social contract person, a normal person who obtains legal remuneration in this society through his own efforts.He owes nothing to anyone, and he is willing to shed his blood for this country, provided that the nation must repay him, take care of his wife and children, and protect his family.No one is qualified to ask him to dedicate his wife and daughter to a group of strange men for gang violence, and no one is qualified to do so.

That said, he has the right to protect his family. The second, evaluating a person, means defining a simple social game rule.The rules of the game must be fair, reasonable, and universal.To put it bluntly, this rule must apply to everyone, not only to Wu Sangui, but also to the evaluator himself. Anyone who evaluates Wu Sangui, they must put themselves under the rules of the game, and ask themselves: When his wife and daughter are gang-raped by a group of wild beasts, will he use a knife to replace him? That group of beasts escorted him, refusing outsiders to rush in to rescue his wife and daughter?

Answering this question, the result is obvious. The old lady Xiaozhuang and Kangxi understood this truth; similarly, they also knew better that it was precisely because the Chinese people at that time had problems in their judgment in this regard that the Manchu Qing was able to break through and enter the Central Plains. On the contrary, it is absolutely impossible for a nation with clear judgment to give opportunities to other races. This is the cruel logic of history.
