Lao Hu published an article on December 25, in which a paragraph caused heated discussions among netizens, this paragraph is "December 24 is not 'Christmas Eve', it is the day of the 73rd anniversary of the victory of the Battle of Changjin Lake, this statement is indeed problematic."
As we all know, December 24 is the "Christmas Eve" holiday in the West, for Westerners, this day is equivalent to our domestic Chinese New Year's Eve, not only to prepare rich food, friends and relatives will also exchange gifts to express blessings, it can be said to be very lively.
But for the Chinese, December 24 is the 74th anniversary of the victory in the Battle of Changjin Lake, on December 24, 1950, the American invaders were defeated by the mainland volunteers in Changjin Lake, before this battle, American generals once boasted that "we will end this war before Christmas Eve, so that everyone can spend Christmas Eve happily."
Unexpectedly, under the desperate and heroic attack of our army, the American invaders were defeated and retreated, and finally admitted that they had lost in the Battle of Changjin Lake, and the famous "Ice Sculpture Company" was born under this battle, which can be described as the most tragic battle of the mainland in the Korean War.
It was originally a day to commemorate the martyrs, but the famous big V Hu Xijin posted two updates for two consecutive days, saying "Don't oppose Christmas Eve and Changjin Lake Victory Day, it's not right".
The first of them was sent on December 24, Lao Hu said, "Today is Christmas Eve, and it is also the day of the victory in the Battle of Changjin Lake, we should not put the two things against each other, there are 20 million Christians in China, they attach importance to this festival, and the young also like this festival as a gimmick for gatherings, and businesses can also take the opportunity to make a little more."
On December 25, Lao Hu posted another article in response to everyone's doubts the day before, saying that "December 24 is not 'Christmas Eve', it is the day of the 73rd anniversary of the victory of the Battle of Changjin Lake, and this statement is indeed problematic."
In fact, the reason why Lao Hu sent two dynamics in a row to explain this matter is more to let everyone separate the two things, now in the era of globalization, people have the right to "foreign festivals", and under this gimmick, it can also promote the development of the domestic economy, for the Chinese who like this festival, they have been culturally edified, they have been happy, and businesses have made profits, which is a very good thing.
For December 24 is the victory day of the Battle of Changjin Lake, in fact, this is also the embodiment of people's positive energy, without the bloody struggle of our ancestors, there would be no peace era now, so it is no problem to commemorate the Battle of Changjin Lake.
However, if the two things are turned into antagonism, then there will be problems, so everyone should look at these two things rationally, and not engage in antagonism and intensify the contradictions.
In fact, before Lao Hu made his own remarks, a number of official media expressed their attitudes.
1. On December 23, the Yangtze River Daily published "December 24 is the day of victory in the Battle of Changjin Lake in China without 'Christmas Eve'.
2, Henan Metropolis Channel reported on December 24 that local taxis in Henan, in order to commemorate the victory of the Battle of Changjin Lake, the slogan "December 24 is not Christmas Eve, it is the day of the victory of the Battle of Changjin Lake" was played on every billboard, which made people look at it with tears in their eyes.
3, the official Douyin account of the Information Office of the Zhejiang People's Government "Beautiful Zhejiang" also released a short video on December 24, hoping that people can remember this day of history, which is the day of the victory in the Battle of Changjin Lake, on this day, 125 soldiers in order to defeat the US army, and finally froze into "ice sculptures" at a low temperature of minus 40 °C.
Due to the great popularity of the two articles published by Lao Hu, they have also aroused heated discussions among netizens on the Internet in the past two days, including those who support Lao Hu and those who oppose Lao Hu, let's take a look.
1. Those who support Lao Hu believe that "there is no need to be opposed, the essence is two things"
Some netizens think that what Lao Hu said is very pertinent, there is no need to step on one hand, you can spend Christmas Eve, and remember that today is the anniversary of the victory of the Battle of Changjin Lake, and the two are not contradictory.
Some netizens praised Lao Hu for being very sober, and someone must be creating confrontation in this matter.
, the netizens at the bottom replied that weakening one's own culture and festivals to promote other people's culture and festivals will not make the country better, and will only form a kind of atmosphere of worshipping foreign countries over time.
2, netizens who oppose Lao Hu think, "Originally, there was no confrontation, but when you expressed your position like this, the patriotic sentiment of netizens was high, and now it is not possible to oppose each other"
There are also netizens who question whether Lao Hu's thoughts and remarks are becoming more and more challenging now, and there is also the danger of Westernization.
Some netizens said that it is not Santa Claus who protects the safety of Chinese, but tens of millions of Chinese soldiers, and China should celebrate its own holiday.
Some netizens are worried that overshadowing the limelight on Christmas Eve over Victory Day will lead to cultural invasion and whether cultural traditions will be replaced after a hundred years.
In general, Hu Xijin's statement is to look at the two festivals separately, and not let them combine to engage in confrontation, which will not only have a certain impact on the economy, but also may affect cultural exchanges, so everyone must look at these two festivals rationally.
There is also that Lao Hu said that "some Chinese celebrate the foreign festival is one of their legitimate rights", in fact, this sentence is no problem, but Lao Hu is as a tens of millions of big V, or to keep a low profile, people may not have such a high opposition at first, but after your explanation, now people's opposition is very large, this should not be what a big V should do.
Which one do you think we should choose on Christmas Eve or the anniversary of the victory of the Battle of Changjin Lake?
