Chapter 39 How did "Uncle Bus" appear in Hong Kong?

When I first arrived in Hong Kong in 2004, I remember that when I was walking on the street, there was always a voice of "Wu Gai" and "Wu Gai" in the crowd. At first, I didn't understand what Hong Kong people were doing.Later, I realized that "Wu Gai" means "excuse me" in Beijing dialect, or Excuse me similar to English, which can be said by rich and poor people.Several times I have seen people crossing the road with my own eyes. Someone accidentally touched someone's shoulder or stepped on someone's foot. The expressions on both sides were very strange. Instead of staring at each other or scolding each other, on the contrary, they immediately said to each other " Sorry", I never saw anyone getting angry and arguing over such trivial matters. This kind of common "street civilization" once made me dumbfounded.

However, an incident happened in Hong Kong in 2006. If this incident had not caught up with the Internet age, it would probably be like a dead leaf falling from a tree in autumn. No one would care, but because it caught up with the Internet age, the trouble As soon as it came, there was a whole turmoil—"Uncle Bus", which quickly spread throughout Hong Kong, and soon fell into an embarrassing situation that "everyone on the earth knows"—— I was not the first to hear that "Uncle Bus" was released in Hong Kong, but as soon as I heard about it, I quickly went online, and I was "blind" when I went online. The civilization of Hong Kong, the civilized Hong Kong, was originally in my impression This solid concept was shaken, and it made me feel so sad.why would you say so?Hong Kong is a big place in the palm of your hand. Apart from being advanced, wealthy, civilized and orderly, what else can foreign visitors envy here?Of course, as a mainlander, my reaction to this matter will definitely not be exactly the same as that of a pure Hong Kong person. To be honest, there is still a bit of a "joke" mentality, but "sadness" is the main reason, because the original Faith was subverted in an instant——

On April 27, 2006, at 11:55 in the middle of the night, the incident happened on a 68X bus from Jordan, Hong Kong to Yuen Long. A young man was dissatisfied with a man in the front seat. In 2010, that is, the man who was later called "Uncle Bus", he was making a call on his mobile phone, because the voice was so loud that everyone in the bus could not stand it. Although the young man himself had just used up his mobile phone at first, he still I couldn't bear the middle-aged man, so I patted "Uncle Bus" on the shoulder lightly, signaling him to keep his voice down, who knew that if he didn't "pat", the whole world was safe and sound, once "pat", the story came out, " Uncle Bus" volcano erupted, turned around and knelt on the seat and began to curse, first saying that Hong Kong people are under pressure, "I am under pressure, you are under pressure", and then even?The Hong Kong version of "national scolding" like your mother's has been sprayed out again and again, with clear words and filthy filth.The young man who was scolded couldn't afford to be provoked in the end, and he didn't want to be ordinary with him, so he apologized repeatedly, meaning: Come on, I surrender, please shut up quickly, old man!But it was too late, "Uncle Bus" could no longer suppress his anger, and excitedly said "it didn't work out" and "it didn't work out".This incident happened to be recorded by another passenger in the same car with a mobile phone, and then posted on the Internet as a video clip (video clip), so the lowest and ugliest side of Hong Kong spread quickly. The clip was 5 minutes long The click rate of the 59-second real video has been soaring all the way. Within the first month, the number of clicks in Hong Kong alone has exceeded 5 million times-Hong Kong, a civilized city, was immediately swept away. A "bus uncle" seemed to put all Hong Kong people's faces All lost!

On June 3, 2006, nearly two months after the "Uncle Bus" incident, I went to the No. 1 lecture hall in the old wing of the Convention and Exhibition Center to interview the "Hong Kong Students Science Competition" of the year. The third team of 12 contestants created an invention They discovered a new method to protect the environment and eliminate cockroaches. The students demonstrated their method on stage, dressing themselves up as "inventors" and "cockroaches" for vividness.I heard the "inventor" deliberately ask on the stage: "Now, in our life, has the problem of cockroaches been solved?" The "cockroach" spread his hands and shouted: "No solution! No solution!" More than 400 students in the audience, as well as many parents and experts on the judging panel, laughed with satisfaction.Why?Ever since "Uncle Bus" repeatedly uttered "it's not resolved", "it's not resolved", "I'm under pressure, you're under pressure" on the bus, these two sentences have become classics, and people use them whenever they have the opportunity tease each other.At the beginning, everyone just gave up talking about it, but when Hong Kong people calmed down for a while, they couldn't hold back their faces. As a result, all kinds of comments on the Internet flooded in. Some people gave evidence that apart from "Uncle Bus", Hong Kong There are actually many uncivilized people and things. For example, some people take off their shoes in front of the public, and their feet smell bad; some people smoke in public places, and the managers stepped forward to dissuade them. You should report it to the police, but the police said: "Eating cigarettes is a trivial matter." Amidst the discussion, some Hong Kong people began to wonder why "Uncle Bus" was so angry?Does his "I have pressure, you have pressure" also reflect some emotions in Hong Kong society?

You Tube.com originally featured "broadcast yourself", and is currently the most fashionable and popular in the world. After the exposure of "Uncle Bus", many dignified Hong Kong people even stood up Point out: "Uncle Bus" is only an individual phenomenon and cannot represent the overall level of civilization in Hong Kong.In this matter, "network hegemony" has shown great cruelty.Some people don't understand or don't care about "the need to be ethical when surfing the Internet". Some things that are not very exciting in themselves are discovered by "Internet mobs" who are good at "spoofing". They are deliberately grandstanding or for some commercial purpose. The uncivilized behavior of "Uncle Bus" is more insidious and immoral.So I questioned: "Do you think those who 'add salt and vinegar' to the 'Uncle Bus' incident have information civilization?" The road is not fair?" "Is the online trial fair?" "Should the government legislate to control the dissemination of information online?" And so on.The more I looked at these "questions", the more I discovered what Hong Kong people's true attitude towards "Uncle Bus" was.Among them, there are many who think that the public morality problem in Hong Kong is "unresolved", but it seems that there are more people who have rebellious self-defense because of their depressed mood——

On June 6, 2006, that day was a rare "666 Dashun" day in a hundred years. As usual, I turned on the computer as soon as I got to work, looking for some "fun" to make myself happy this day.But when I opened the webpage, the first article that caught my eye was "Uncle Bus". The title of the author's discussion was "Analysis of the Phenomenon of "Uncle Bus": A Cold Look at the Hot Talk in the City". Although it is high, it does not have the element of 'rationality'... Originally, it is an individual's freedom of speech to discuss and express opinions on social injustice, but when it is upgraded from an individual to a community, the discussion becomes a denunciation and criticism, and " Does the "bottom-up" style referee, who is ruined and never stands up, does the damage and punishment it brings exceed the fault committed by the party involved?"

Why do Hong Kong people see "Uncle Bus" from "blushing" to "depressed", and soon began to turn to "rationality"? Do people and things like "Uncle Bus" only exist in Hong Kong?Nowhere else?People all over the world go to the Internet to see jokes about Hong Kong, but they don't have one, and they even promise that they are not "Uncle Bus"?
