Criticism of "Poor people must be hateful"

Poor people must be hateful. This bastard saying that has no sympathy for vulnerable victims is now The mantra hanging on the lips of many brainless young people has even become the motto of low-level and low-IQ that they use to judge right and wrong.

Every time I see this bastard sentence, I feel sad for the five thousand years of Chinese civilization. The poet's poem about the charcoal seller, "The pitiful charcoal seller is wearing only the same clothes, and he is worried about the cheap charcoal and wishes the weather would be cold" expresses his infinite sympathy for the poor working people represented by the charcoal seller. However, the poet does not say a word about this charcoal seller. There is nothing hateful about the charcoal seller. On the contrary, in the poet's writings, what is hateful is the feudal exploitation system that caused the unfortunate experience of the charcoal seller.

The poem "The poor bones by the Wuding River are like those in a spring boudoir's dream" written by Chen Tao of the Tang Dynasty expresses infinite compassion and sympathy for the sacrificed soldiers and the families left behind, without any meaning. When accusing these people in the Bone Dream by the River of being hateful, what they are condemning is precisely the feudal rulers who drove these young people to sacrifice their lives in order to achieve their own imperial achievements, and the long-term wars that brought pain and disaster to the people. .

People who believe in the bastard saying that poor people must be hateful, in order to show that their principles have some origin, will sometimes vaguely tell you that this bastard saying came from Chen Jiru in the Ming Dynasty. "The Secret of a Small Window". But the original words of "Little Window Youji" are "All the lovely people in the world are pitiful people; all the hateful people in the world are all pitiful people." This is just a life philosophy with a slight dialectical thought, and what it expresses is not What does it mean to excuse the perpetrator?

The followers of the bastard words then continued to excuse themselves by saying that this sentence comes from "Buddhist Sutra, Article 6, Self-cultivation Instructions", but where is such a Buddhist sutra named "Buddhist Sutra"? And the relevant contents of the so-called self-cultivation training are actually some folk sayings, such as "paying without expecting reward" and "when a person is pure, there will be no disciples." The so-called "If a person is extremely pure, there will be no disciples." The source is Ban Gu's "If the water is extremely clear, there will be no fish; if a person is extremely observant, there will be no disciples." The famous saying of Ban Gu, a Confucian believer, was renamed and pretended to be a precept in the Buddhist scriptures. Isn’t it ridiculous that there are Buddhists on the Internet who believe it without any doubt?

It seems that from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, from Buddhism to Confucianism, there is no origin of this bastard saying that poor people must be hateful in ancient China. What should I do? Assholes must admit defeat and surrender because they must be bastards? No, they are still quibbling. They changed their story this time and said that this sentence was said by Lu Xun, but Lu Xun never said such a stupid thing. Looking through Lu Xun's famous quotes, they only found this sentence: "Sorrow for his misfortune, be angry for it." It doesn't matter." Lu Xun's words were an expression of indignation against the weak victims, but the meaning had nothing to do with the fact that poor people must be hateful. The former is misfortune, and non-fighting is a state. The so-called non-fighting is precisely an accusation that expresses the arrogance of the perpetrator, making the vulnerable victim afraid to fight, unable to fight, and unable to fight. The latter is pitiful because of the experience, hateful is the reason, and it is entirely from the perspective of the perpetrator to find excuses for him. How can the two be confused and treated equally?

So, does this bastard saying come from the Cultural Revolution period? No, there is no trace of this bastard saying in the language of the Cultural Revolution. It can be seen that even in such an extreme era, the Chinese people's thinking has not degenerated to the point of believing in such bastard sayings. From Buddhism to Confucianism, from the Tang Ming Dynasty to the May 4th Movement, from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the Cultural Revolution, after searching for nothing, the root cause of this saying that poor people must be hateful was finally implemented in the sketch "Selling Kidnappers" by the vulgar Zhao Benshan. superior.

In the 2002 Spring Festival Gala, Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei and Gao Xiumin co-starred in "Selling Cars", the sequel to the sketch "Selling Carts". At the end of "Selling Cars", Zhao Benshan officially put the phrase "Poor people must... The poison of "hateful" was spread to audiences across the country through the Spring Festival Gala, a platform with hundreds of millions of viewers. From then on, it got out of hand. This stupid saying gradually spread across the country, distorting the values ????of the Chinese people. As a result, young people's sense of right and wrong was eroded, and they became unclear and unsympathetic. Until Ms. Gao Xiumin, one of the actors in this sketch, unfortunately died young at the age of 46 in 2005, three years after the performance, and she became the first victim of this bastard remark. Isn't it pitiful to die young? But what is so hateful about Gao Xiumin? When Zhao Benshan faces the heroes of his former collaborators, can he still say this with a smile: Poor people must be hateful?

To sum up, it is time to completely deny the stupid saying that "poor people must be hateful". There is nothing hateful about the poor person; what is hateful is the perpetrator who caused his pitiful situation. This kind of perpetrator may be a disease, it may be a murderer, it may be the system, but in any case, we can never absolve the perpetrator of the crime, and unsympathetically shift the blame to the victim.

Lu Xun's "Sorrowful for his misfortune, angry for his indifference" is not criticizing the wrong belief that "poor people must be hateful", being indifferent to the suffering of others, but forgetting that one day he may also become a passive bystander of poor people. ?
