? It is human nature to be beautiful on social media, and it is understandable to edit highlights from ordinary materials. Surprisingly, however, the people in these paintings are not only fine-tuned in appearance, but also the identities set off by the materials themselves are not sincere. Browsing news, this phenomenon has nothing to do with gender. From booking a circle of friends of "elite men" for a few dollars a day to paying tens of thousands of yuan to receive the training of "aristocratic temperament" of foreign houses, "making celebrities" and "fast elites" have become a mature industrial chain.
? Think about it carefully, although this phenomenon is unexpected, it has already existed. Audrey Hepburn once played a flower girl in the movie My Fair Lady. Linguist Higgins made a bet with a friend and made a tailor-made "transformation" plan for her, packaging her into a lady in terms of accent and taste, and finally succeeded in getting away with it. It can be said that as long as the daydream that people are eager to be easily admired exists, it is difficult to put an end to the cunning activities of pretending to be "celebrities".
? Pretend to always pretend. Choosing a spelling list is personal freedom, and embracing early adopters is also normal consumption. But posing as a "celebrity" will inevitably be criticized in aesthetic and cultural sense. In the final analysis, the brand premium of luxury goods comes from the "story" it tells and comes down to the consumption level and living conditions created by the marketing "myth". Therefore, even if the goods are genuine, if the experience has been stolen, then the corresponding symbol value will be broken at the touch of a button. Perhaps the occasional "high-end display" can win a favorable vote, but in the long run, it is hard not to show signs.
? But from another perspective, even if it is not a "spell", it is hard to say that those who "decorate" themselves with luxury goods, first class and luxurious Hanfu have not fallen into such a "symbolic" trap. For some time, under the intentional or unintentional misleading of advertisements, the Internet and even film and television cultural products, some people have reduced their personal values and self-realization to symbolic expressions of carrying a famous bag, driving a luxury car and going in and out of high-end places. Even if this so-called "celebrity" of ten thousand people becomes the object of imitation by some people, no matter in the second place, it is already a thousand miles away from its god Wan Li.
? Some people regard the so-called "high-end" symbol illusion as a "counterattack" against consumerism because of a certain degree of "spelling celebrities". Although this statement is inevitably too profound, it also reminds more people that the goods created by people should not be a means to define or even control people. Material abundance is a good thing, but it should not be allowed to deviate from the real value of "meeting the needs of survival and development" If the symbol of ability, the performance of success and the source of satisfaction are all tied together with things, people will inevitably be enslaved by things and lose their true colors as human beings. The story of students falling into "routine loans" to buy luxury goods is not far away, and the crime of pretending to be a rich person in a circle of friends has also appeared in newspapers. While enjoying consumption, we should also be more vigilant and careful about the proliferation of consumerism and the vanity and impetuousness behind it.
The flood of matter overflows the dam of the mind, which easily makes us forget to look up at the starry sky, forget meditation and forget real happiness. Facing life positively and making friends honestly is not only a part of self-cultivation, but also a compulsory course for society to make a living. Everyone wants to be recognized by others, but behind the amazing circle of friends, the material life of flowing water and the spiritual comfort of affection and water are probably common sense of life.
