----------------------. Urban civilization is facing unprecedented challenges.
when the public invariably interprets the word "obscenity" as derogatory, hundreds of illegal video tapes, VCD rental stalls, kiosks, audio-visual products stores and secretive men and women in stations, docks and downtown corners are dotted around to form this popular fortress.
On January 25th, 2, the police in Putuo District of Shanghai said in a special summary that in the past two years, they arrested more than 2 suspects and seized more than 6, illegal and obscene publications. Later, the police in Yangpu, Hongkou, Zhabei and Airport announced that they had seized a large number of pirated, obscene VCD, LD and other illegal publications in the operation at the end of 1999.
We marvel at the great achievements of the police.
However, we are tasting a kind of anxiety more. This epidemic, which can be described as flooding, is an extraordinary explosion of people's material desires and sexual instinct needs. "Evil is the lever to push history forward", it seems inevitable if we don't take Engels' judgment out of context or with some bias. Prior to this, Wang Shuo and Zhang Yimou, who were very popular, presented incest, sexual impulse, rape and murder to people, and won the recognition of people from different levels. They successfully explored people's subconscious desire to publicize themselves and transcend norms, and formed a subculture that impacted the mainstream culture. Of course, this subculture is not the original creation of Wang Shuo and Zhang Yimou. Before and after them, a large number of works of various styles flowed in from abroad and produced at home, which set off this subculture atmosphere and drove the rapid expansion of people's original energy. This is exactly the conclusion of experts and scholars on criminal demand theory: everyone is a potential deviant.
As a result, a new round of popularity has been besieged by a new round, and the more banned it is, the more attractive it is.
So, does the contest between the police and this ugly epidemic herald the beginning of a social progress?
Rose Dream and the guillotine; He is not the first or the last victim of obscene publications.
28-year-old Yang Qiuliang has a happy family of three. The wife is virtuous and kind, and the daughter is lively and lovely. However, Yang Qiuliang is not the kind of person who can directly see through his heart from the outside. Under his calm, quiet and diligent appearance, he has a very unsatisfied heart. He can spend a meal with a smooth bowl of 8 cents, and even get hungry. This is by no means economic poverty, but out of a deformed worship of money.
He has his hobby. While he wronged his stomach, he can spend 1 bowls and 2 bowls of noodles on stalls and bookshops to buy obscene books and periodicals full of sexual descriptions. He is crazy about it, and the naked words make him feel on pins and needles. In the dead of night, he fantasized about playing with 1 Chinese and foreign beauties in the superior rooms of Hilton and seventh heaven according to the various ways and atmosphere described in the book. Finally, he jumped out of the all-day psychosexuality and decided to experience it for himself. One winter night, he lifted a young woman from the roadside ditch and pointed an electric shock pistol at her face. He got great pleasure from this, and the sin expanded rapidly. From then on, he wandered around the dark corner of the city like a hungry wolf ... One night in late spring, Yang Qiuliang could not sleep. That desire is rising with the continuous heat. He used the excuse that his unit worked overtime, carrying stun guns, sharp knives and hemp ropes, and transferred to three buses from Weifang New Village in Pudong to Putuo District. Near the remote Luding Road and Yunling East Road, he saw Zhang Yumei, an Anhui female helper in Xinxi Restaurant, enjoying the cool at the door. Her beautiful body could not help but make Yang Qiuliang salivate. He lurked in the dispatching room of the 94 bus terminal, waiting for the opportunity to commit crimes. At 3 am the next day, Zhang Yumei turned off the lights and fell asleep. Yang Qiuliang used a sharp knife to pick the door and bolt it into the room, kicking over a stool in the dark. "Who? What do you do? " Zhang Yumei woke up and straightened up. Desperate Yang Qiuliang swooped down on Zhang Yumei for fear of his crime, stabbing him with a knife, and Zhang Yumei immediately breathed his last. After catching his breath, Yang Qiuliang used a sharp knife to scratch Zhang's chest and lower body, so as to obtain the greatest satisfaction of animal desire.
A year later, Yang Qiuliang, who was frightened, fled to Cao Yang New Village to follow a female worker who came home from work, and was caught red-handed by patrol officers of Putuo police. Under Yang Qiuliang's bed, the police seized a large number of obscene books, periodicals and reading notes, such as Rose Dream, Gambler in Love, Documentary of Sexual Massacre and Animal Prey.
Yang Qiuliang came to the end of his life. His wife was stunned by the evil truth, as if she had been struck by lightning: How? ! Her husband has always been diligent, honest and obedient!
the sensual stimulation of lewdness has deteriorated human instinct into animality, which has done great harm to society.
Li Hongbin and Wang Qiang are two 16-year-old children, and there is nothing hard about their teenage age. Because parents can't get rid of the gloom of childhood and adolescence, they pour their wealth into their children doubly, making them have a deformed sense of superiority. Perhaps because of over-nutrition, it is almost impossible for people in Li Hongbin and Wang Qiang to distinguish their maturity from their appearance. For them, playing mahjong, smoking, drinking foreign wine and going to dance halls, diversified stimulation has made most teenagers indulge in video games and thrown several "crosswalks".
One afternoon during the summer vacation, Li Hongbin went to Wang Qiang's home to "incubate the air conditioner". Lying on the leather sofa, they have watched Jackie Chan's action movies three times in a row. Li Hongbin is obviously a little tired. He said to Wang Qiang, "Look again, are there any live videos of life films and concerts?" Wang Qiang patted his head. "Last time I saw my dad bring back a video tape and put it in their room." Wang Qiang ran into his parents' bedroom, rummaged through the closet and found a videotape wrapped in newspaper among a pile of clothes.
After 3 seconds of clutter jitter, a big close-up of a naked woman suddenly appeared on the TV screen. Wang Qiang was stunned and took a shot at Li Hongbin: "There is a flower head."
The unsightly picture made Wang Qiang and Li Hongbin feel jumpy and sweaty in their palms. Three hours later, the two boys walked out of the building with red eyes and met Tingting, a 6-year-old girl playing at the corner. "Tingting, will my brother play with you?" Tingting grabbed Wang Qiang's hand happily. Wang Qiang and Li Hongbin took Tingting to the woods behind the hidden pump room and lifted Tingting's short skirt ... According to an authoritative survey, in recent years, 6% of suspects in national criminal cases have seen obscene publications.
From a broader perspective, the emergence of a large number of obscene publications, in addition to shocking sexual crimes, has also led to prostitution, pornographic services in entertainment venues, irresponsible extramarital sex and premarital sex ... Only in Shanghai, since 1994, the number of sexually transmitted diseases has been increasing at a high speed. Objectively speaking, all people's desires are reasonable. The problem is that obscene publications, while stimulating the expansion of desires, also instigate people to satisfy such desires by improper means, resulting in serious damage to social norms. Even if there is evidence that obscene publications have not turned all audiences into criminals, and they are not the only criminal reasons for sex offenders, a large number of cases have confirmed that obscene publications are indeed the driving force for the emergence and expansion of crimes.
obscene publications are far from "sexual liberation" in the true sense. They only have problems without any cultural background.
There is no doubt that law, morality, public mind and body, and culture are all experiencing a pain.
We might as well regard the proliferation of obscene publications as a kind of abnormal market behavior. Its producers and suppliers can get a lot of money to satisfy their material desires, while its consumers can seek excitement in extreme excitement. Before the 199s, in our city, obscene publications were basically in a state of no market. Those fans generally copy obscene manuscripts from relatives, friends and neighbors, or copy obscene videos repeatedly, "children and grandchildren", or remake and collect some rough pictures. At the end of 1989, I investigated a case of spreading obscene videos in the Economic Security Department of Shanghai Public Security Bureau. Starting with the clues of a unit in the power system, I found out more than 5 viewers involved in three factories at once. More than 5 tapes are all the same content. In order to watch obscene videos, those involved tightened their belts and bought a video recorder. They rushed to their colleagues' homes in Xuhui and Changning districts in the west from Huangpu and Hongkou districts in the east of Shanghai with machines on their backs, and copied a tape and hurried home. Their only complaint is that there are not many kinds of tapes and the image quality is poor.
when great changes vigorously promote social progress and development, it will inevitably bring about such and such problems. With the further opening of the market and the improvement of technology, the dissemination of obscene publications has been upgraded as a whole. Shishi city, Fujian Province and Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, along the coast, first became two famous "Yellow River Flooding Areas" in China. Obscene publications catering to two needs will inevitably become a "market"! This black market has survived tenaciously through the cycle of openness, semi-openness and complete concealment.
in p>1991, in a mountain village famous for making firecrackers in Shandong province, a farmer was sorting out the paper used to make firecrackers in his workshop, when he suddenly found that a small book bought by Quanquan as waste paper was full of heart-pounding words. He was inspired by reading, why not print tens of thousands of copies and sell them! This inspiration really made him make a fortune: 1, yuan. How long will it take to make firecrackers? This is a way to get rich! In a blink of an eye, all the firecrackers here turned to the printing industry, and a huge distribution market for illegal and obscene publications appeared in the county. In March 1992, the Public Security Squadron of Putuo District, Shanghai arrested eight suspects from this mountain village, seized 14, copies of obscene books and periodicals, and destroyed eight distribution networks they built in Shanghai, but the local book and periodical distribution industry was still booming.
Up to now, obscene publications have been upgraded from manuscripts with low quality to high-tech printing with high quality. The media involve books and periodicals, pictorial, heated color-changing pictures, video tapes, computer floppy disks, VCD, DVD, LD, etc., and the huge profits are obvious. A 2-page obscene booklet, the purchase price of 2 yuan, the price of 2 yuan; An obscene pictorial smuggled from overseas bought in 45 yuan and sold in 25 yuan. The cost of an obscene VCD was .68 yuan, and it was sold in 1-3 yuan. Earlier, an obscene VCD was imported from Guangzhou to 2 yuan, where it can be sold for 2-25 yuan. Moreover, this kind of profiteering is a net profit without paying any taxes. In some places in the south, criminals simply buy an optical disc production line, and after one-time production, wholesale it to the whole country. This can not only save huge profits, but also avoid the attack of the police.
when describing the relationship between capital and crime, Marx once pointed out that when the profit reaches 3%, you can take the risk of hanging. It is out of the pursuit of high profits, not to mention the risk is not hanged, criminals began to go crazy.
A few years ago, at the turn of spring and summer, the police in Putuo District of Shanghai attacked a big cake stall in Ganquan Road Market, and the stall owner and his wife who rented obscene videos were caught. Police officers seized more than 4 pirated and obscene videos and 1 Yu Ben books and periodicals during their search of their residence on Yanchang West Road. The couple confessed that they rented the booth in the market for more than a year, and lost money because of poor management, so they turned to video rental for the risk of pulling the book. With thousands of savings, they successively bought more than 5 obscene videos at the Bund, Qiujiang Road and other places from 5 yuan to 16 yuan, and rented them to more than 7 people at the rent of 5 yuan every day, earning more than 8, yuan in a few months. In order to get more rent, the couple copied more than 2 videos at home, and the hut of more than 1 square meters became a processing workshop.
Coincidentally, at the moment when VCDs were widely circulated, Chen Yide, the 33-year-old owner of Jiachang Electronic Store, witnessed the booth next door being attacked by the police for selling pornography, but he couldn't stand the temptation of huge profits. He went straight to Guangzhou with 5, yuan the day after the police action and bought back more than 1, obscene VCDs. Just after coming into the cabinet, he was seized by the police and ended up with nothing to lose.
In the pursuit of profiteering, I also saw the further decline of morality. Morality, like a rubber plaster, was randomly pasted and torn off. Incredibly, people who chase huge profits disregard social morality, but they abide by traditional ethics.
Li longgen, 34 years old, is very professional. Many people who have come into contact with Li Longgen have left a good impression. He is a porter in the transportation department of a medium-sized machinery factory. His face is as black as bark. But suddenly one day, like thousands of employees, Li Longgen lost his right to carry big bags. He was laid off. After being laid off, Li Longgen has nothing to do all day. A big man made a living by his wife's electronic component store, and his inner balance was broken. Idle Li Longgen is looking for something to do every day, but the biggest thing he can do is to quarrel with his wife passionately. He reluctantly came to his wife's shop to help and obey her orders. At this time, Li Longgen only thought about one word of money every day. Only with money can he find his dignity back.
Li Longgen thought he had found an opportunity when VCD became a new favorite in Shanghai electronic market and quickly formed a craze. At this time, this small shop has been losing money for several months. Li Longgen traveled back and forth in Shanghai and Guangdong and bought a large number of pirated and obscene VCDs, which really brought vitality to the store. There was a smile on his wife's face. One night in late autumn, the police in Putuo closed down Li Longgen's den on the basis of reports from the masses. When searching the residence, police officers found a strange phenomenon: Li Longgen's 17-square-meter bedroom and closed balcony were full of pirated VCDs, but under Simmons, which was close to the ground, all the hidden VCDs were obscene. When my colleague Wang Jiaxuan and I went to the detention center to interrogate Li Longgen, Li Longgen explained very frankly and truly: "Because there is a small room at home, the child will definitely get worse after watching the yellow tape." Perhaps this is an expression of his conscience, indicating his ethics of "tiger poison doesn't eat children", but I feel angry because of it.
When our nation came out of the monolithic "blue-gray" era, in the brilliant stream of people, we saw that the liberation of self-personality had a great impetus to social development. However, just when some people get rich first by proper and improper means, the vicious expansion of individual selfish desires brings new crisis to society. A cartoon depicts such a picture: a brave man caught a thief, and more than 2 people shouted to the police later with their mouths wide open: "We can all testify!" " However, when the thief stretched out his black hand, where did so many witnesses shrink?
it is the responsibility of the whole people to save morality. This may be the reflection brought to us by Li Longgen's case. Just shelter
