Chapter 183 183. Not a bonfire for revolutionaries

■Talk about your general impressions. □First of all, I think Long Yingtai stole a good term—"Wildfire", which makes people feel a certain kind of rebellious pleasure, thinking that the person who started the wildfire is collaborating with us in rebelling, but in fact we have been deceived.Not wildfires at all, but fireworks.In the dark night, watching fireworks is a pleasure, but fireworks are not starlight, nor fireflies, nor are they revolutionaries' bonfires.And, on the contrary, the content of Long Yingtai's fireworks show was very poor, old-fashioned, and cautious. Like Bo Yang, she only dared to offend the police chief.None of her books have ever been banned, while Li Ao has been banned for ninety-six books. This comparison shows everything.

■Why is it selling well? □ An important reason has been ignored.The best-selling is that Long Yingtai has gained the status and recognition of an "average citizen" (average citizen) who likes to make sarcastic remarks like her.When the big star Valentino (Valentino) died, movie fans cried like hell, and newspapers waited on page after page, but at the same time, the president of Harvard University died, but few people heard about it. piece.Once listed in the "entertainer level", the "average citizen" will follow you to add, subtract, multiply and divide. Of course you can't beat Michael Jackson, but you can follow suit; of course you can't jump Michael Jordan, but you can Also tend to, at least put on your T-shirt and sneakers.Even if it is more fake, it will not hinder the worship of the layman. The "Superman" in the movie flies over the wall, but the real him fell off his horse and was paralyzed to death.However, it doesn't hurt the worship of "average citizens", all they want is to think that you are a "superman" and follow you.Why not follow the president of Harvard University?too difficult.Long Yingtai's success lies in her positioning herself as an "entertainer". She invites you to dream of stardom, but does not require you to be the president of Harvard.What she set off was just fireworks, but she mistook you for wildfire. You feel very good, because you are a rebellious teenager. In fact, what kind of rebellion is this? Under the leadership of Long Yingtai, you are just obedient citizens, blue obedient citizens , green obedient citizens, and even became "cultural traitors" without knowing it, and could even curse the Boxers for being barbaric.The problem is, it’s not impossible to criticize the Boxers, but if you only criticize the Boxers for being barbaric, and don’t criticize the British and French allied forces for burning the Old Summer Palace, or the Eight-Power Allied Forces for being the first American soldiers to enter the imperial city of China to rape and plunder, you’ll be fooled.

You can like Long Yingtai, because liking her is the safest, books will not be banned, people will not be closed, and she is mediocre, but has both fame and fortune. Isn't this what "average citizens" yearn for?Who will be the president of Harvard?Who wants to be the author of ninety-six banned books who go to prison and go to prison again?She pulled the "weak people who can't keep up with heroes" and said, don't be with any heroes, just follow me, you can be like me, you don't have to "everyone can be Yao and Shun", it's too tiring to be with Yao and Shun , why set fire like heroes, as long as the fireworks are set off as wildfire, it will be a merit.Firecrackers are not rockets, but when they stop at firecrackers and are content with firecrackers, the rocket is complete.So, the "underdogs" like her.
