Is wealth born? Since Bobby Chen made this bold statement and challenged the old order, people have been discussing this issue. Bobby Chen's question seems to have been satisfactorily answered since the imperial examination system opened to ordinary people to enter official positions through reading. However, in the past dynasties, officials and aristocrats still made a fortune, and ordinary people who entered the cabinet through official positions were often only a few. More importantly, the emperor's throne is hereditary, and only those born in the emperor's family are eligible to inherit the throne. In addition, no one can get their hands on it, or even give birth to this idea. The prosperity of literary inquisitions in past dynasties was caused by trying to completely obliterate everyone's idea of being an emperor. Only when the dynasty fell, the world was separated, and a new imperial family was born after a heroic battle of blood and fire. Therefore, "wealth is innate" is the ideological basis of monopoly of vanity fair by autocratic regimes in past dynasties, and the narrow fame and fortune channel that allows grassroots to rise is just a myth to comfort the poor. Authoritarian regime is a talent mechanism, and uncontrollable talents are not allowed to appear, which will shake their rights and threaten their status. Only when you are born with wealth, only when princes are born with seeds can you confuse and numb the people and consolidate and comfort yourself.
Since ancient times, China has been a hierarchical social system in which the superiors decide the subordinates and the subordinates decide the people. Authoritarianism, supremacism, bureaucracy, etc. It is doomed that subordinate subjects can only bow their heads, bow their heads and bend over forever. Who dares to talk to his superiors with confidence and arrogance? Who dares to name names or even criticize the behavior of superiors? Who dares to clap his chest and say "I, a gentleman, am a hero" in front of people with higher status and power than you? When Clinton was young, his ambition to enter the White House was born when he shook hands with Kennedy. After unremitting efforts and struggles, he finally got what he wanted. After getting drunk, Schroeder patted the iron gate of the Prime Minister's Office and shouted "One day, it will be mine". Later, he really became the German Chancellor. Both Clinton and Schroeder come from civilian families, and they are full of heroism and determined to climb the peak of power. Are there such young people in China? Maybe, but most of their ambitions will not last long and they dare not make public. Has anyone ever seen a normal young man pointing to Ziguangge in Zhongnanhai and saying that it was destined to be his? Who has ever seen anyone encourage young people to aim high and aspire to be president or prime minister?
Heroism is the innate instinct of every young person, and heroism and ambition are the most basic qualities of every successful person. I remember a story abroad. A rich man made a huge bet. Whoever can answer his questions will enjoy this huge wealth. The question for the rich is: What is the root of being rich? Everyone answered enthusiastically, and all kinds of answers were varied, but none of them were correct. Later, a little girl finally solved the mystery, and her answer was: ambition. I believe many people know this story, but what does it show? Explain that ambition is the premise of all success! Explain that ambition is the fundamental driving force of fame and fortune! ! People without ambition are doomed to be unable to enter the ranks of successful people, a society without ambition is doomed to be lifeless, and a country without ambition is doomed to be a powerful country. In a country and a society, if everyone has ambitions and everyone respects them, and the society provides the biggest, fairest and most reasonable stage for their ambitions, then this country and society will be rich in talents, rich in wealth and strong in the country and the people. On the contrary, ambition is not only discouraged, but suppressed, not respected, but rejected and spurned. Then this society will lack vitality, this country will have no future and this nation will have no hope.
Most of China's heroes come from troubled times. After the struggle for power and profit, the winners will strongly suppress the heroic thoughts of others, forcing everyone to do their bidding and be full of servility. After the whole society operated like this for a period of time, it was not until the country collapsed that grasshoppers emerged again. This is China's fate. "It is better to have seeds than princes", which is the lament of Shengzai Chen in troubled times. Why can't I see her at ordinary times? Isn't a society in which all beings are equal, opportunities are equal, and the able are superior to the mediocre, the greatest appeal of the interests of the whole people?
