Today I saw someone summarize the three major events that happened on June 7th yesterday. 1. College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) 2. Sun Li and Deng Chao's wedding 3. The death of Yao Jiaxin. Corresponding to these three points: 1. Passing the examination and getting one’s name on the golden list 2. Spending the wedding night 3. Being buried in peace. The three biggest events in life are no more than these.
Yeah, so many events happened in such a short day yesterday. I rarely comment on current affairs, thinking that it is unnecessary to show off since I am not a professional. But after seeing netizens' summary for several days, I think I should also join the fun and show off.
Let's talk about the first event, Gaokao. The word "Gaokao" is both distant and close to me. I can still remember some scenes of participating in the Gaokao in 2005, like Yang Mi being photographed when going to the toilet. Parents outside the examination room, students inside the examination room, quiet examination rooms, the sound of writing, and the joy and sorrow after the bell rings. I miss the days of senior high school, which were much fuller and emptier compared to the current life. It's hard to have those moments again when we all got up early and stayed up late to do problems, fought together and dreamed together. Now we don't know if we still remember each other's dreams back then... Sigh, let's not reminisce anymore! Finally, Gaokao is never just the business of candidates. Gaokao is the turning point that changes the fate of candidates; Gaokao is the touchstone that measures the teaching level of teachers; Gaokao is the focus that attracts the attention of countless parents and relatives; Gaokao is the treasure for schools to compete and win; Gaokao is a piece of land that local governments don't want to pay for but very much want to harvest. Gaokao involves candidates and related people and all sectors of society, which is a Chinese characteristic. Since there is Gaokao every year, it's nothing new, so I won't say much.
The second event is that Ms. Sun Li got married. She got married while pregnant. Celebrities' weddings are always social hot topics. In fact, celebrities are also human beings, why should we pay so much attention? (Okay, since I wrote this second point, it means I can't avoid being conventional.) Regarding Sun Li's marriage, I don't want to say much, but I am reminded of the Fong Zhi love affair. I hope that the union of celebrities can last longer and withstand tests. I won't say more, nor can I say more.
Finally, the third event. Xiao Yao's departure. What did Xiao Yao's departure leave us with? In fact, many people may not understand the ins and outs of the matter. In the early stage of Xiao Yao's incident, I thought it was the most ridiculous thing, and many forces were protecting him (I won't say more here, you can check Baidu yourself, I'm afraid of being censored... Refuse cross-provincial arrest). Later on, things basically stabilized, justice was upheld, and the media also shifted towards reflecting on education and society (it must be directed here, and cannot stay on the early questioning of the law... Shh, I've said too much again). Okay, since it is like this, I will also follow the government's lead and not discuss class contradictions, only comment on internal contradictions among the people - regarding the case of Yao Jiaxin, some people say, "What kind of parents raise what kind of children; what kind of education cultivates what kind of talents; what kind of social role models bring out what kind of successors. All of this is indeed his own doing, his parents should be held responsible, the country should be held responsible, and society should be held responsible. When many people blame others, they might as well touch their own conscience and ask themselves, what kind of example are you setting for your child, what kind of example are you setting for society, and what kind of influence are you bringing to society. Once upon a time, we were a land of morality and propriety, once divorce was a disgrace, once being a third party was despised, once selling one's body for money was vulgar, once violating morality would cause us to suffer from pangs of conscience. But now all of these have become past, today morality is regarded as worthless in front of money, divorce is like eating fast food, being a third party has almost become a popular industry, even students have learned and become accustomed to making money by selling their bodies, as for conscience - many people will jokingly ask "How much is conscience worth", haha, this is our current era.
Some people say, our era is completely over. Actually, it's a bit exaggerated. The current situation is actually the result of the rapid development of the economy in the past twenty years, causing the economy to improve while the corresponding population quality hasn't kept up. There is a disconnection. We all know that what kind of productive forces determine what kind of production relations. Similarly, what kind of social economic level should also be accompanied by a corresponding social moral standard. Unfortunately, many people tend to ignore this point... This is not something that one or two people can change, all we can do is take care of ourselves. Oh, and if you have children, take care of your own children. Don't let another Yao Jiaxin come out. Thank you, Xiao Yao, your departure made people reflect a little on what morality is.
