Initiated by Tianya Community in 2007, countless Internet incidents have affected the major Internet media in China.From the most powerful nail house in history to the black brick kiln incident, from Taihu Lake algae, Zhou Tiger to 3377.However, even in this vigorous year of 2007, even in the Tianya community where online public opinion exploded, the most popular posts were not those online events that attracted widespread attention at home and abroad, nor were they the wonderful works of Internet celebrities.It is only high school culture, Teng Fei, who posted online for the first time, published "How I Became a Professional Cheat" in Tianya Zatan.

More than half a year, 6 million clicks, more than 60,000 replies.The End of the World has never been short of miracles. At the beginning, Murong Xuecun’s only had 200,000 hits, and it has become a masterpiece of online literature. In 2006, when "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was in full swing, it only had a million hits.However, he seldom set foot on the Internet. The first take-off in the forum was an annual hot post with more than 6 million clicks, which once again confirmed Wang Xiaobo's statement that "the master is outside the circle". It is not surprising that the post about Tengfei is so popular.The first time I read it, I had a strong feeling: this post is going to go viral.The memoir of a professional hooker can attract so much attention from Tianya netizens, not just because there are so many Chinese people who like to gamble, but also because it is a true retelling of a deformed life, which is almost suffocatingly real.There are not too many gorgeous words, no deliberate embellishments and exaggerations, just like the big brother next door is telling you the story of his walk in the rivers and lakes.He has already retired, and there is no need to look up, he just narrates lightly, telling you that there are traps and deceptions everywhere in the Jianghu.

Many people in China are addicted to gambling. Many scenes in Tengfei’s post are not uncommon in Chinese villages and cities. He did not exaggerate and exaggerate these gambling games, and he did not use Hong Kong and Taiwan movies to attract attention. He did not show off his so-called profession The old man's ability to call the wind and shake the rain is just to peel off the cocoon, and to expose the mystery behind these most common scenes bit by bit.As he said clearly in the post, "I wrote this for a reason: I saw too many people lose their fortunes and their wives and children because of gambling. Don’t gamble again.” This is an act of righteousness and kindness with great compassion, it is the most convincing advice and admonition to gamblers, and it is a good remedy for quitting gambling that hits the soul directly, so it has no choice but to be popular.

In more than 60,000 replies, many people confessed that after reading this post, they finally regretted gambling, and finally believed that the reason for their bankruptcy was not bad luck, but falling into a trap set by others.Undoubtedly, the current social environment has become much cleaner than when Tengfei was in the rivers and lakes. However, there are still many people who have illusions about gambling, and tragedies caused by gambling are still heard from time to time. A colleague of mine once entered an underground casino by mistake when he first arrived in Hainan, and was cheated out of more than 300,000 by someone.But what he regrets most now is that there was no one like Teng Fei to wake him up.Another friend told me about this experience. At the beginning of 1998, he took money to buy a plane ticket to go home, and boarded a minibus with more than a dozen people on board.Suddenly, a man who looked like a small boss next to him took out a pack of playing cards and pulled the two people in front of them to play a card guessing game.My friend is a person with rich social experience, knowing that there will be scams, so he didn't care too much.After a while, almost all the people in the car got involved and had fun.At this time, he saw a strong man sitting across from him, secretly picked up a card, bit a tooth mark on it, and then put the card back.This seemingly undiscovered action by the banker suddenly caused his inner demons to haunt him, and followed the burly man to bet 100 yuan by mistake, but naturally he lost.However, he immediately saw another person's little move, which seemed to have a chance to make him make money, and he was stunned, so he followed suit again.In this way, there are always different people who make him feel that there is a chance to make money. He didn't feel that something was wrong until all the money he was going to buy for the plane ticket flowed into other people's pockets.At this time, the minibus stopped, and everyone on the bus got off at the same time, except for him, only the driver and the conductor remained.He heard the driver ask the conductor, how much did they roll?The conductor took a look at him alone, and said, more than a thousand.The friend didn't come home afterwards, and spent the whole Spring Festival holiday regretting his stupidity.

Greed is the devil, and the main reason why scammers can succeed is to take advantage of people's greed.However, if someone had told him that this was a hoax from the very beginning, and if this hoax had been deeply concerned and exposed by the media, my poor friend, no matter how stupid and greedy he was, would never have spent the New Year alone in a foreign land. 70 years ago, Mr. Lian Kuoru, a well-known storytelling artist, published a long serial "Jianghu Cong Tan" under the pseudonym "Yun Youyou" in Beiping's "Times" with his rich social experience and an honest and kind heart. A large number of pages exposed the various deceptions behind various quack trades at that time, which dealt a fatal blow to those quack warlocks who made a living by cheating and abducting, and had a positive social impact.However, with the passage of time, people have become increasingly numb to the deceptions that once disappeared, and some quack deceptions have reappeared.In the 1980s, I had witnessed many times on the street the scenes of charlatans cheating, and the mystery was exactly the same as that described by Mr. Lian Kuoru in "Jianghu Cong Tan".Fortunately, now that this book has been republished, those deceptions that have been exposed are no longer able to harm people.

If Mr. Lian Kuoru only used "Jianghu Cong Tan" as an internal training material for his disciples, then I am afraid that we will still suffer from those quack tricks again and again today.If Teng Fei hadn't written the post "How I Became a Professional Cheat", all the tricks he mastered might keep some people's money, and make more people bankrupt.The principle of all blindfolds is very simple, the key is whether someone dares to stand up and expose them.In this sense, even Kuoru and Tengfei are warriors with great compassion.Now, Tengfei has organized the hottest long post of the year in the Tianya community and named it for publication by Lujiang Publishing House. What we see is a prodigal son who once "stumbled" in the rivers and lakes, turning back and crying blood. , I believe it will definitely resonate with many people who are addicted to gambling.

For such warriors, what else can we do but pay tribute?Let more people around you read this book, let more people get out of the quagmire of gambling after reading this book, this is our best way to pay tribute. Song Zheng, Executive Editor-in-Chief of Tianya Community
