Lianyue’s change
I started to re-read Lian Yue, not repeating, but re-reading, reading Lian Yue’s latest works, such as “I Grow Up with Lian Yue 3” and “I Love to Ask Lian Yue 7”.
The last time I read Lian Yue’s book was in 2013, almost 9 years ago. Why did I start reading it again?
The reason is that a friend sent a screenshot with the following dialogue:
Reader asked: Uncle Lian, what do you think of the second uncle’s video? Is there something deeper to ponder than self-motivation?
Lian Yue said: A very good video, this is the spirit of the Chinese people. Anyone who doesn’t like this video, on the top line, can basically be regarded as the enemy of the people. If the people like it, they will definitely oppose it.
As soon as I saw this picture, my first impression was: How come even Yue himself was on the line, and he even used two ordinary things, so extreme?
I tried to find the original source, and turned over the comments on the headline article on the official account from July 25th to August 1st. I don’t know if there is a problem with my search method. I didn’t find the original source. If you find it, please notify me a bit.
I even wondered if Lian Yue was sarcastic. After reading it twice, it seemed that he was not arguing. So I typed “Lianyue Change” in the search engine and found that there are not a few people who have such doubts, and even Anti is asking questions in 2020.
How did Lian Yue’s change come about? From the supporters of the Xiamen PX movement to saying that the Chinese system is better, what psychological mechanism is there? What did he think of his earlier articles?
He responded to the above questions head-on in a May 5 issue of “Life and Patriotism.”
He said that when he was young before, he was crazy, stupid, and confused. “I have been tortuous for half my life, negating the negation, and finally reached the realm of patriotism. There are fears and happiness. After all, there are too many people who only stay in Young ideological cognition.” He admitted that “Dink is the mistake in my life”, “I am too late to be patriotic.”
So far, it wouldn’t be surprising if Lian Yue said to the second uncle’s video that it was “two whatever”.
me and lian yue
I started reading Lian Yue in college, and within a year after I started working, I bought a set of Lian Yue’s books, including “I Love Asking Lian Yue 1234”, and I also read his column collections “I Am Chicken Soup”, “God”, “Come and Go” It can be said that these books laid the foundation for my basic concept of marriage and love, society and work when I entered the primary stage of society.
Once, when the unit organized a trip to Xiamen, I was very dedicated to leave the group and walked around Lianyue Road at night (many people may not know that Lian Yue’s pen name was taken from Lianyue Road, Xiamen, where he originally lived).
The love letter I wrote to my wife, named the “Story of Time” series, originated from Lian Yue’s reply to the readers with many good news of love. It was called “Story of Time 1234”. I also sent a letter to Lian Yue before marriage. An email thank you, although there is no follow-up.
I have specially studied Lian Yue’s writing style. His writing is like speaking, without complicated vocabulary or Internet vocabulary, but with short sentences, which is simple and straightforward.
That’s it, am I a loyal fan of Lian Yue?
Forget it, I must admit that I learned a lot from Lianyue.
I don’t think so, because I also read a lot of other creators at the same time. I listen to Liang Wendao’s ideals, often eight points, I read One Day World, I listen to Inspiration Club, I read Southern Weekend, I read Nanfang Daily, I read Sanlian Weekly, Go to twitter, watch Feng Tang, I hold Bitcoin, I also hold RMB, I watch Marvel, and I watch Guardians…
Lian Yue has changed?
He generously admits his changes and mistakes, you can scold his changes, but I don’t plan to scold him.
Because I just recently read an article by Zhang Xiaoyu:
“Instead of arguing about whether a famous statement is right or wrong, it’s better to explore the ideological context or empirical support behind the formation of this opinion (or the public expression of this opinion).”
If there’s any real benefit to reading these “sounds that make sense,” it’s the opportunity to drive yourself to work hard to construct a “shared context” with these smart and great people. Create something, do something, and many of the principles that have been seen will be reborn with new life. Like I would read The Hard Thing About Hard Things every few months or Sex And The City every two or three years. In life, there is always a process of “seeing a mountain is a mountain, seeing a mountain is not a mountain, and seeing a mountain is still a mountain”.
So, I used my fastest speed to find and read the two latest books published by Lian Yue.
Everyone lives in distress, confusion, contradiction, and trouble. The poor have troubles from the poor, and the rich have troubles from the rich. Therefore, everyone needs chicken soup, solutions, and answers.
Lian Yue has been facing the same problems of different people, no job, leaders are fools, no love, men are not motivated, men gamble, family favors sons over women, domestic violence, full-time women are worthless and have no dreams, seven-year itch , cheating and betrayal…
In his book, Lian Yue encourages some people to become civil servants, buy a house, have children, take postgraduate entrance exams, start a business, leave, drop out of school, and break up.
His replies were sometimes firm, sometimes instructive, sometimes vague.
Sometimes, when I look at these nasty questions, I lose the mood to answer them, but he can face these “trivial” practical problems day after day, be a friend of women, be a youth mentor, Employment mentor, chicken soup chef, love godfather…
When common sense of love, finance, work, law, and life cannot be popularized in this country with a population of 1.4 billion, he takes up the role of legal counseling for private careers, love and marriage, and he is still popularizing common sense.
For example, he said that the normal state of life is tiring, and the normal state of work is tiring. Either the body is tired, the brain is tired, or both are tired. People who have been improving all the time, finally get used to this tiredness and enjoy it.
In the face of love, he can talk about love openly, in the face of the country, he can frankly say that he is patriotic, in the face of money, he can say that he loves money without any hesitation, and in the face of mistakes, he can quickly and frankly admit.
What he represents is his perspective and opinions, and the words of his family. You say that he has changed, but he has indeed changed. Accept it if you like it, or scold it if you don’t. This is your freedom.
Lian Yue said in “Use life in the right place”
“…The battle of ideas can be quarreling endlessly for hundreds of years and thousands of years, and it often turns into a battle of spirits and degenerates into hooligans and scolds; and people only have a short life, and they can’t afford to waste them. Those who can do small things well Those who can take good care of their families are those who use their lives in the right place.”
me and change
I read the “Zizhitongjian” and found that there is a type of loyal ministers. They are consistent with the end and insist on their own opinions. The most serious ones are carrying coffins to give advice. Some people come out as they wish, and some don’t. Reading “Things in the Ming Dynasty”, the biggest feeling is that living in a dark age, living is the most important thing, everything is possible when alive, but when you die, you can’t do anything. Watching “The Twelve Hours of Chang’an”, I found that the difficult thing is not to make a choice, but to bear the hardships after the choice, but to die.
Lian Yue told such a story in “The Long Tail of Man”
Once a philosopher was sentenced to death by the king. He asked for probation, giving him another two years.
The king asked him why. “I have the uncanny ability to teach His Majesty’s beloved horse to speak within two years,” he said.
So the king agreed.
The philosopher’s friend was puzzled and asked him, “Although you are a great philosopher, it is impossible for a horse to speak.”
The philosopher said: “The point is not here, the point is that in two years there are many possibilities: the king may be dead, I may be dead, the king may have changed his mind, I may have escaped, and the horse may have actually spoken. “
I want to ask, what is the point of this story? Are philosophers lying, without morals and without credit?
Not really. It is easy to die tragically, but harder to live stoically. Don’t be pessimistic, don’t despair, you must find a way to live first, persist first, and change, and then there will be a better future.
Lian Yue talked about politics in “Life and Patriotism”, he said
Regarding politics, my current attitude is that Confucius said “I don’t want to be in my position, I don’t want to be in politics.” , has more facts and data than I do, and can consult more experts than I do, and they can handle it well. People who criticize easily are mostly half-understood, blind people, and nonsense.
With the close contact with government officials in the past few years, and the practice of the idea of ”being in the business”, trying to understand the operation mechanism of large organizations, I can better understand the true meaning of the above paragraph.
In the past, I paid attention to technology, the Internet, writing, skill development, etc., thinking that my ability was limited, and I seldom cared about current affairs and policies. The so-called information cocoon room created by the Internet, this man-made “self and reality” information cocoon room more reflects his ignorance and cowardice.
have I changed?
I firmly believe that the essence of those who only watch Lian Yue is the same as those who resolutely do not watch Lian Yue, those who watch news broadcasts, and those who resolutely do not watch news broadcasts. They reject new things and reject new opinion, refuse to change.
I will keep observing, comparing, reading, comparing, identifying… It does take a lot of time and energy, and what I get may be just some simple common sense, but so what? After thinking about it myself Yes, it’s your own.
I just don’t want to be blinded by prejudice, I just don’t want to be invisible, I just want to hear more people talking, I just want to see the real world, and then be touched by a small point, I can become better, enough. ∎
