Does the name "Polar Salted Fish" remind you of a superhero in a Hollywood movie? But don't be fooled by this seemingly funny name, things are not funny at all. It turns out that the real name of this self-media creator is Zhong Moumou, born in 2005, and is a junior high school student. Behind her, it is not a heroic story with a sense of justice, but a farce involving family background, wealth, and national dignity.
Just on March 22, 2023, she posted a social media message on Weibo, saying "What to do, I'm moist", accompanied by a photo of her wearing a kimono. Awkwardly, her IP address was displayed in Australia. What is even more infuriating is that she insulted Chinese in the comments with words such as "China", "branch nature is difficult to change", and "inferior person".
But that's not the end of the story. The Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Transportation issued a statement on March 24, confirming that Zhong's grandfather was a cadre of the bureau's former freight sub-bureau. The old man Zhong Gengci retired in 2007, but he did not admit that he had 9-figure savings in his family, but insisted that he worked honestly until retirement.
Strangely, since the news was made public, events seem to have stalled. The Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Transportation has repeatedly said that the matter has been handed over to the Shenzhen Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection for investigation, but it is far away, making people suspicious. The Shenzhen Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection mysteriously claimed that the case involved secrets and was inconvenient to disclose.
So far, we still have not seen a clear and just outcome. There has been no official response or explanation as to whether the Arctic catfish and its family are suspected of corruption, whether they have been punished by any law, or whether they still hold Chinese nationality. And the Arctic catfish himself did not show any remorse and remorse, but even more brazenly provoked and insulted Chinese.
This incident not only aroused the attention and anger of the majority of netizens, but also exposed some social problems and phenomena. We need to think hard:
Do some people who study abroad or immigrate have basic respect and gratitude for their motherland and compatriots, do they have a correct view of nationality and country, and do they have good moral accomplishment and quality education?
Do some online platforms effectively review and manage the content posted by users, promptly handle and stop suspected illegal and infringing acts, and respond positively to and satisfy the public's public opinion?
The "Polar Salted Fish" incident is not only a thought-provoking incident of showing off wealth and humiliating China, but also a wake-up call reflecting social problems. We should draw lessons from this, strengthen supervision and accountability of officials and their families, strengthen education and guidance for those who go abroad, and strengthen the management and regulation of online platforms to safeguard national interests and national dignity and promote social fairness and justice. Thank you all for your interest!
First of all, self-media creators should seriously consider the influence of speech. They have the right to express their views, but should also understand that this influence can have a huge impact on society. Fierce and insulting remarks are not only prone to controversy, but can also promote social antagonism and damage the country's image. Therefore, freedom of expression should come with responsibility to encourage rational and respectful discussion, not provocation and insult.
Second, social media platforms need to regulate content more strictly. While freedom of expression is essential, it must not be a tool for spreading hatred, discrimination and humiliation. Social media platforms should take measures to strengthen content moderation and promptly delete information involving insults and hatred, so as to maintain public morality and social harmony on the platforms.
The "Great Salty Polar Fish" incident taught us that freedom of expression, while precious, also comes with accountability. Social media platforms and self-media creators should work together to work for a more rational, respectful and harmonious social media environment. Only in this way can we safeguard national interests and national dignity, promote social fairness and justice, and let social media truly play its positive role.
