Han Han's cultural life began by rebelling against middle school education. Now Han Han has become the focus of the world. At the beginning of last year 1 1, he appeared in the Asian edition of Time magazine, and was called "the bad boy of China literature". Hong Kong's Asia Weekly even named him "the man of the year in 2009". He succeeded overnight, with no poverty and no hope of seeing the end of the world; It's really surprising and enviable.
Rebellion is a common phenomenon among teenagers. This is not necessarily related to success. And Han Han also walked out of a successful life. There are also social reasons. In fact, in the eyes of China people today, rebellion has become the embodiment of resentment and dissatisfaction: rebellion against preaching, rebellion against social system, rebellion against existing culture, rebellion against officials, and so on. And Han Han is too smart and brave to walk on this road. Touch people's hearts and resonate.
Let me start with a concrete example. Someone shouted at Lu Xun to take him away and let Han Han take his place. But the public doesn't think so, and it seems to be ambiguous. To tell the truth, comparing Lu Xun with Han Han is a big joke. Han Han is too young and has great plasticity. Maybe he is not interested in reading heavy things. The reason for this phenomenon is that Lu Xun is used as a tool for propaganda and preaching. When we read Lu Xun, we didn't compare it with the social reality in the 1930s, and we didn't read his dignity and integrity. So after being instrumentalized, the owner became a hateful monster.
At this point, we have to pay attention to another problem. Why is Marx so eclipsed by young people? In fact, Marx is the soul of human justice, the embodiment of human conscience and the prophet of human ideal society. The reason is that we have never interpreted Marx's works as scientific knowledge, but as Marxism.
Knowledge and truth are a double-edged sword. If you hold it, an angel is still an angel, and a devil is still a devil. To our surprise, it was Marx who saved capitalism.
As we all know, Keynesian theory is based on the assumption of insufficient effective demand. Everyone with discerning eyes knows that this is the conclusion that capitalist production is bound to be relatively surplus in Marx's Das Kapital. This cannot but arouse our deep reflection. Therefore, only rational conscience can lead mankind to happiness.
Second, the obsession with lost beliefs and hopes.
The readers of Han Han's works are post-80s youths. They are the owners of "Chrysanthemum Chrysanthemum" and "Ant Family". This is the most unfortunate generation, without ideals and beliefs; And for most of them, there is no career, and even finding a decent home is more difficult than going to heaven. The rebellious Han Han and his works just comforted their hearts.
Some big names and celebrities in the newspaper also called them cynics, attacking them for not producing and indulging in resentment. And what I see is the soul of an angel who has fallen into hell! Who has the right to deprive them of a happy life?
What puzzles me even more is why Han Han should assume the role of a public intellectual. And make irresponsible remarks about it. But those celebrities who have both fame and fortune have avoided this role! Such social reality can't help but make them angry! One day the volcano erupted, and I don't think anyone can escape!
Third, interest-driven.
Some people wear colored glasses to see Han Han on the writer's rich list; But I didn't expect that these incomes were only the rewards of his cleverness and hard work, which was understandable; Compared with booksellers and the interest groups behind them, it is just a drop in the ocean. Therefore, Han Han's current image is driven by interests. Yu Dan's book explaining The Analects of Confucius is also very popular. China today is a society driven by money and lust, and all social phenomena can be explained by interests.
