Why is the Liu Xuezhou incident heavy

In the eyes of some people, Liu Xuezhou is just an account named "Liu Xuezhou a" (Weibo name), which is the material for hunting curiosity, the element in the so-called "network eating melon", and those attacks on him are almost subconscious, unthinking, and use the most mean words. Until Liu Xuezhou ended his life in an extreme way, many people suddenly realized that he was a human being and a child, and would completely leave this world. People began to emphasize his mind and focus on his psychological trauma. At this moment, he faded the symbol, and the fragility and misery of being a person began to emerge. Of course, this is all hindsight.

There are many problems that can be summarized in this incident, and there are also many people or units that can be held accountable. But in the first and last stages of Liu Xuezhou's life, he still gave people a very helpless and powerless sense of sadness, and in these two stages, he was not fully treated as a person. It's hard to say what his birth parents or the people who stormed him have in common, but there may be similarities in the depths of logic: in their cognitive framework, a certain trade-off and definition of Liu Xuezhou overwhelms his essence as a human being. If these things can provoke reflection, hopefully people will understand how we treat a person. Of course, the economic value of population is a macro category of cognition, and data and code are indeed the basis of cyberspace existence, but through all this, it is always people who construct the world. They have flesh and blood, they have feelings and ideas, and they may not be perfect and thoughtful, nor may they be so strong and brave. All of people's actions, good or evil, ultimately act on people. Society is complex and technologically vigorous, but the human body is still fragile.

Another heavy aspect of the Liu Xuezhou incident is that it is unlikely to bring about an immediate change. The inertia of moral sequelae is very strong, and it is difficult to say that it can be lifted up in a short period of time and by individual events, which may be a social reality that we have to accept. Therefore, the tragedy of Liu Xuezhou is regrettable, but it is more important to teach people to be strong and anchor the values and directions that must be adhered to.
