Gu Ailing is just a special case

Gu Ailing has "exploded the screen" these days, hot and hot, and praised by the world, but to tell the truth, compared to all sentient beings, her examples are "rare" and not representative. There is a "survivor bias" in psychology, also known as the "survivor fallacy", that is, only seeing the results after a certain screening, ignoring key information, this phenomenon will exist in everyone to a greater or lesser extent... People are so intoxicated and "obsessed" with Gu Ailing, which also proves this.

But in fact, her excellence stems from the fact that she is a product of a purely elite education. She loves skiing, mainly because her mother likes to ski, and her mother Gu Yan was a graduate student at Peking University in the 90s of the last century, and then went to the United States and married her Father who graduated from Harvard, and her father is not a "fanpin", he is the fifth employee of Google, a member of the founding team... Ice and snow sports, in China, can be said to have just been burned, and mainly because of the "chicken blood fever" brought about by the holding of the "Winter Olympics"; at the opening ceremony, most of the national teams, only a few scattered people, just to brush up on the sense of existence, to give China a little face; therefore, not to mention the generation of ordinary people's parents, that is, our generation, how many people have skied on the ski slopes? Not to mention, I can still think of this as a hobby of my own, so...

It took westerners almost two thousand years to catch up with and overtake China and take away the "crown of civilization" of mankind; and between families and families, and between individuals and individuals, sometimes to eliminate the "gap-style generation gap", it also requires bloodsmarting, continuous work, and progress, even if it is a hundred-year gap, it also takes several generations of efforts, but too many people in life always desire to be the same as "Gu Ailing and so on" in an instant, which is impossible. People must clearly recognize their own situation and situation, and the specific position in the space-time coordinate system, less rhapsody, less pretense, and do not pull up seedlings to promote growth, some achievements, do require generations of unremitting relay, no matter how anxious it is useless.

I like Mr. Sun Haohui's "Great Qin Empire" very much, the original work and TV series have been carefully watched, especially the first two "Black Fission" and "National Destiny": Qin Xiaogong and Shang Martingale opened the transformation of the law to be strong, the solid blade inward, step by step blood and tears, almost fundamentally changed the "Zhao Zhao Old Qin", from the genetic order of all changes and reorganization, the road blue wisps, extremely difficult; but only through the second generation of Qin Huiwen Wang and Zhang Yi and other painstaking efforts and vertical and horizontal control, to protect this most dangerous stage, and laid the foundation for the later rise, The basis of unification. In the process of upgrading from one balance to another, there will always be a series of repeated and internal and external crises such as endless pain, struggle, and doubt, which will make people turn back at any time... This is true of the country, and so is the man! A generation can often only do the work of one generation, and in everything, as the founders and successors, it is extremely painful, and all of them need to face the objective problem of how to escape from the "quagmire" (the "quagmire" refers to the comprehensive collection of people's spiritual structure, cognitive level, social relations and actual situation). Because it is against human nature to hold on and survive this long process, it requires a strong desire and firm determination to not change the original intention, move forward fiercely, do a good job of "bridge", and create the future.

Therefore, instead of enthusiastically admiring the success of "painting tiger dog chase" Gu Ailing, people should think about how she got to where she is today. She is standing on the "shoulders of giants" of whomever she is!

The point is that recently I have seen a lot of research on her "success model", it is really unnecessary, if people can not realize that everyone's success can not be copied, life can not be copied, then the basic soil for cultivating the next Gu Ailing does not exist, this kind of research can only cultivate chicken parents who exploit children.
