Dao Erdeng, whose real name is Qiu Xiaogang, 1982 was admitted to the Chinese Department of Peking University as the top liberal arts scholar in Hebei Province, but up to now, Dao Erdeng is reluctant to mention his courage in those years, although he is called by some as one of the three best students in the Chinese Department of Peking University after 1977.
On the cover of his latest column collection "The Good Man in China", there are words printed: "The talents in China forums at home and abroad are the first" and "China's essays are fortunately followed by Lu Xun and Wang Xiaobo, and there is also Dao Erdeng". For the publicity slogan of the publishing house, Dorden is somewhat helpless. He said that after reading these sentences, he blushed. After reading this book, some netizens wrote the following comments: "His words are vivid in Lu Xun's heart, including Li Ling's" Wen "and Wang Xiaobo's" Wu. "
The Good Man in China is divided into four parts: The Good Man in China and The Good Man in China? China Bad Guy, The World? Human feelings "and" taking the world as a dog ".
Today, there is an article "Why can't we make fun of farmers", which is a criticism of making fun of farmers in the Spring Festival Evening. Dalden told us that there is a kind of person who is very annoying. "He likes, no one is allowed to offend; What he respects is not being despised by others. " He thinks this attitude is very intolerant and is not conducive to harmony.
Dalden also re-evaluated some people who have been facebookized in history, and came to the conclusion that the so-called good guys are not so good, and the so-called bad guys are not so bad. China's traditional evaluation criteria and cognitive perspective of killing people with virtue, overriding filial piety with loyalty, and overriding benevolence with loyalty, and covering up minor details with so-called major sections are problematic. "Ethics does not kill people, but only persuades people to be killed"; In particular, the author is deeply wary of the tradition of "taking the world as a dog" in history, whether reading or herding sheep, and does not agree with Hai Rui, a type of "moral persecutor".
The author always cherishes ink like gold, and the article is not easy to shoot. Jokes often demand themselves with "a ruler to measure Shakespeare or Wang Guowei". In this Good Man in China, readers will see that there are no "good men" and no "bad men", with a few exceptions, Bao Zheng and Harry. Their humanity is impeccable, and they enjoyed a high reputation at that time and later, but they are always unpopular.
Dorden currently lives in Shijiazhuang, in his own words, because he is too lazy to work in order to move. It is said that he works in Hebei Academy of Social Sciences and lives too far east of Qiaodong. The floating clouds and wild cranes-like character and life earned him the title of "great contemporary seclusion". Some people say that he is Liu Ling, the seven sages of the ancient bamboo forest, but he flatly rejected this "hat" himself. Why? Just look at his article.
When the reality is too boring, people love to read history.

■ Dolden: What I write has something to do with history, but it has nothing to do with history. Accurately speaking, the material of this book is history, that's all.

■ Dolden: There is a question of academic norms and academic training. In the field of history, there is a basic norm on how to determine a thing as a historical fact. But now some people seem to have forgotten this and failed to abide by it. Some of them are no longer within the standard range. It is difficult for the audience to distinguish right from wrong because there is no similar training in our middle school education. In any case, the mainstream view of history should occupy the mainstream position. Media, public platforms and scholars are partly responsible for this situation.
■ Reporter: Your book subverts our views on some historical figures. Good people are not good, and bad people are not bad. What kind of people do you think are good people? The kind without quotation marks
