We can't help but ask this Internet celebrity, as well as netizens who support him, who gave them the power to stop Japan from visiting the Old Summer Palace? Is it really patriotic, or is it to recruit China into the international community? It's worth thinking again.
Internet celebrities prevent Japan from visiting the Old Summer Palace
This past weekend, a male Internet celebrity stopped Japan tourists from visiting the Old Summer Palace, which was on the hot search on the whole network.
It's not complicated to sort things out, it happened on September 7, or the day the influencer posted the video.
The location is the Old Summer Palace in Beijing, which is the Old Summer Palace where the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China in the history books.
When the influencer was visiting the Old Summer Palace, a man next to him was taking pictures of Japan tourists and reminded the influencer to give way and not block the camera.
Then the Internet celebrity learned that the photographer was a Japanese tourist, and began to scold, thinking that the other party should not let him give up his place to the Japanese.
And it is also in the Old Summer Palace, such a place with the memory of historical humiliation.
Later, the staff of the Old Summer Palace also supported the words and deeds of this Internet celebrity.
However, when asked whether the attitude of the staff represented the attitude of the management service, the other party said that it was only personal.
Who gave influencers the power to chase people?
It's as simple as that, but the controversy caused by Internet public opinion is very big.
The influencer and later on-site staff both believed that Japan tourists should not come to the Old Summer Palace.
The party supporting the Internet believes that the Internet celebrity is very patriotic, and his approach is very right, so he should not let Japan visit the Old Summer Palace, which was once burned by the Japanese army.
Opponents believe that this is a "little hooligan" who is a bit grandiose and interferes with personal freedom, and that eating a "patriotic meal" in this way is actually a crime for China.
Later, it was reported that the Internet celebrity once had a criminal record abroad, and after the incident was hotly searched, he deleted all the videos in his account.
We can't help but ask, who gave Internet celebrity bloggers such the power to chase people away?
Whether Japan tourists are eligible to enter the Old Summer Palace shall be governed by relevant laws and regulations.
Venting personal emotions to ordinary Japan people not only exposes these Internet celebrities as "legally blind", but also confirms their purpose of eating "patriotic meals".
Don't use "patriotism" to recruit black for the country
We have no intention of wearing colored glasses to speculate on whether this Internet celebrity who is full of dirty words is patriotic or rubbing traffic.
But judging from the objective impact caused, everyone is a loser in this incident, and only this Internet celebrity is the winner.
Japan tourists may reduce their travel to China due to discriminatory incidents, and the tourism industry will be affected.
The Internet is fiercely disputed, and social antagonism is even more serious.
If the influencer does not delete the account and run away, he will successfully earn traffic.
The Western media have also found good material to ridicule China's "wolf warrior culture".
If these Japan tourists came to Beijing to commemorate the Old Summer Palace and to mourn the victims of the war, is it appropriate to expel them in this way?
Without knowing the purpose of these people, indignantly demanding that they leave the Old Summer Palace will not do any good except deepen the misunderstanding between the Chinese and Japanese people.
Oh, by the way, I would like to remind you that if the Internet has any memory, you should remember that in the past few years, the United States and the Japan government have introduced relevant laws to pay salaries to media and bloggers who smear China.
It covers a wide range of fields, from national policies to social hotspots, from the gap between the rich and the poor to gender antagonism. If you don't look at some hot search events objectively and calmly, it is easy to be "cut leeks".
