Han Han's latest blog post "Chongqing American Drama" comments on Wang Lijun's palace drama. What can mobilize public opinion institutions today will become negative news tomorrow, and what can activate the state machinery today will tomorrow...
Last night, I believe many netizens, like me, were desperately scrolling through People's Daily Online. I think this is the first time that People's Daily Online has welcomed so many real people. The purpose of swiping the screen is just for three words, Wang Lijun.
>When the palace drama comes out, the folk farce like mine pales in comparison. In this farce, because of my pig-like performance, I deeply feel ashamed of the audience. Unexpectedly, Wang Lijun appeared, and the protagonist went to the US Embassy. This is an American drama. Looking back at the domestic TV series I played in, I realized they were too childish.
This suddenly reminded me of the scene when I participate in rally starts in various counties all year round. Because I was the seeded driver, the leaders of the county gave me a start. But in the second year, the host shouted the same title, but a different face appeared. After the departure process was over, with the host's words "please lead me", I looked at the leader's back and was filled with emotion. Of course, there are those who are promoted and those who are not, but what exactly happened in Chongqing, after all, we cannot see clearly in this kind of political gossip. The news on the main road was hidden, and People's Daily Online was unkind, so I could only climb along the trail and piece together a rough idea. During this process, I entered the heart of Comrade Wang Lijun and came up with one word: tired.
Chinese officials themselves are extremely divided. They go to conference venues in the morning and clubs in the evening. On the one hand, they have to study and understand 1960s-style documents, and on the other hand, they have to carefully distinguish the difference between Weibo and QQ on the Internet. While criticizing the United States, they also need to accurately know the location of the U.S. consulate. You can't understand China here. I sincerely feel sorry for them. Today I just watched a Chongqing American drama for one night. The process was full of ups and downs, and the news kept coming out. Even I felt that I needed vacation-style treatment, not to mention that the person involved, Wang Lijun, was probably in shock.
So I don’t understand what the Chinese officials are thinking. Many people want to be officials, that's for sure, especially if they become high-ranking officials. When they want to do business, they don't have to think of ways to raise money themselves like Wu Ying did. In the end, they were sentenced to death. They only need to arrange for a relative to monopolize a resource and call the bank. Officials have reached a certain level, which is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Officials who resigned because of the fire in Shanghai will soon be able to serve as officials in Xinjiang. Fortunately, they were not sent to Karamay. Those who can mobilize public opinion institutions today will become negative news tomorrow; those who can mobilize the state machinery today will be taken away by the state machinery tomorrow. For officials, people no longer use the terms corruption and incorruptibility to describe them, but only those who gain power and those who fall out of favor. And everyone doesn't know what will happen in Chongqing, even though this city has just gone to Hong Kong to sing "Red", and before that, Hong Kong people had only heard "Red" sung by Leslie Cheung.
This time of confusion made me realize that China in the future does not need to predict a certain color. No matter whether it is red or blue, it is not as transparent as it is transparent.
