There are all kinds of graffiti on the wall, among which the words "Xiamen University is waiting for me" which express the yearning for Xiamen University account for a considerable part. Students' yearning for Xiamen University is understandable, but this yearning should not be reflected in the irrelevant sentence "Xiamen University is waiting for me" on the wall, but should be implemented in their usual study. I wonder, if they really become a member of Xiamen University in the future, from tourists to students, when they see that the original beautiful painting wall of their school has been destroyed by all kinds of messy messages, will they think that the quality of the graffiti people was too low and the practice was too much? What those tourists left on the wall was not a word or a yearning, but evidence of their low quality.
Obviously, these tourists do not have the nature of graffiti wall, but regard it as a message wall. Message walls are generally set up when schools hold large-scale activities, such as school celebrations and campus job fairs. At this time, the message wall is set up to provide a platform for the participants of the corresponding activities to express themselves, which will also be saved after the activities. Therefore, graffiti walls are generally temporary paper walls, the walls will be clean and the background will be white, which is convenient for users to leave messages. But the graffiti wall is not a message wall. Above the graffiti wall are various paintings created by teachers and students of Xiamen University. Writing and drawing on it is tantamount to infringing on other people's works of art. The essence of this behavior is like visiting the Louvre, but scribbling on those the world famous paintings with a pen. Although the value of the two is very different, they are also the artistic achievements of others and should be respected. What's more, the wall of the tunnel has been clearly painted with eight characters: "Respect creation, please don't sign and draw". Ironically, around these eight words, there are also large and small black handwriting, which makes the original black words look a little pale.
Now, the graffiti wall full of messy notes is difficult to restore, and the ornamental value is greatly reduced. It goes without saying whether the title of "China's most literary tunnel" can live up to its name. Can't blame, because the result is not one or two, three or four people, but countless tourists who have been here for a long time. But this incident at least sounded the alarm for us. If the school had stopped graffiti in time when it was discovered, the graffiti wall would not have become such a mess; If tourists consciously protect the graffiti on it, what is presented to us now will still be those wonderful graffiti. In the final analysis, it is still the quality of some people.
It is never too late to mend. We can't save this place, but besides, there may be other graffiti or works of art in public places that are suffering similar treatment. Before they are completely destroyed, we should take action to protect them and prevent another "literary tunnel" from being destroyed by tourists.
