A documentary on Douyin made Wanyan Huide's comment area a large-scale confession scene for netizens.
Who do you ask?
Let's see if the following text is automatically converted to speech:
"Laughing and hugging", "Arching out", "It's a lonely (ethical) issue", "iPhone", "The personification who reads is the most beautiful, and the personification who reads is the best"......
The most out of the circle should be the sentence "If it's good, it's a girlfriend, and if it's bad, it's an enemy friend".
Because of these serious abstract remarks, this little-known woman has become a phenomenal Internet celebrity.
In his 50s, wearing old-fashioned glasses and sparse explosive heads, he has been softened by the mango core, but he is sought after, imitated and ridiculed by young people all over the Internet.
Before the documentary, Wan Yan was a harlequin on the Internet, which was regarded as an after-dinner pastime, but after the documentary, many netizens began to repent of their ignorance.
Another reversal case in which good people were wronged?
If you look closely, you may not be.
The previous generation of netizens (sweaty) once made up a story about the aliens and the earth in 1999, and the survivors all signed a non-disclosure agreement, and only the pre-millennial people remembered it.
This meme essentially stems from the sense of crisis that the previous waves are slapped on the beach, in order to show the authority of the old man and scare the little kid.
However, in any case, the online culture of Generation Z is completely beyond the scope of the understanding of its predecessors, and it has completely changed the previous popular ecology.
Do you know what "abstract aesthetics" is?
A selfie of a middle-aged man who is as light as a chrysanthemum and a headless emo quote has become a template for a bloodbathed circle of friends.
No one knew what it meant, but everyone thought that this uncle named Wen Huijun was playing himself.
Since then, young people's expression of mental state has gone beyond the level of realism and only goes to freehand.
In this era, the official partner of "Orchid Pavilion Preface" is a farmer who raises his eyebrows and compares his heart, and can dance into the international market after the social shake "subject three", a rat-headed housewife Juanzi, because the thief can drink water, is called the contemporary Poseidon.
The local culture, which is despised by millennials, has become a cultural treasure in the eyes of Gen Z.
Not because these stalks have any value and meaning, but because they happen to correspond to the low value and meaninglessness of modern life.
After Yan Huide's popularity process, it was also a headless and brainless commotion.
In 2021, a video posted by a woman named Three Dreams was commented on as "a bit like Yang Mi", which inexplicably hit the laughter of netizens, so it became popular on a small scale.
Sexual minorities, who stand on the opposite side of mainstream culture, play a role in this. They have unearthed many amateurs with their own weird stalks, making them Internet celebrities and even a subculture.
And Wanyan Huide, at the beginning, was actually just a member of the so-called "power things", and was teased because of his appearance similar to Sanmeng.
Later, netizens found that their faces looked very similar to an unearthed Loulan female corpse, so they meanly enshrined them as "Loulan princesses" and called their non-standard Mandarin "Loulan language".
All in all, it all started as a small-scale abstract meme.
At that time, no one thought that Wanyan Huide could go so far.
She not only broke through the niche circle, but even broke into the mainstream vision, and even completely ignored that she started "by face".
Wanyan Huide's attraction to netizens is completely a mystery.
She claims to have graduated from the Department of Psychology of Peking University and is a national second-level psychological counselor, but with such a high-end setting, she speaks with a strong local accent, and reciting every sentence of ancient poems at the elementary school level is wrong, and she can't distinguish Sima Guang, Sima Qian and Li Siguang, and spits on the screen when wiping her mobile phone......
Her words and deeds give people the feeling that she is not a high-end talent, but more like a charlatan.
But it doesn't matter, netizens don't expect to learn any serious psychological knowledge from her, and her various contradictions will only make her more happy, and it will not prevent her from having fun.
Do you say that netizens are idle?
Really.
After all the brain power and energy squeezed out by city life, what else do you want us to do that is beneficial to human development?
I'm sorry, I just want to hold my phone before I go to bed and watch abstract jokes silly for a while.
When Teacher Yan scolded netizens angrily and scolded "arching out", no one behind the screen would feel offended, and would only proudly hook half of the corners of his mouth.
Offending everything is Gen Z's mission, and the more they are criticized, the more proud they will become.
And when she began to talk about the concept of "women should keep to themselves", no one planned to seriously argue with her about the modern view of women, only laughing at her reading "keeping oneself" as "iPhone".
The most annoying thing for Generation Z is to preach seriously, so they won't preach back.
What they love to play is to directly deconstruct the serious with absurdity, and let those clichéd things become laughing stock themselves.
Wanyan Huide's popularity is also harlequin-style.
But unlike the first generation of Internet celebrities such as Sister Feng and Sister Furong, netizens criticized these Internet celebrities at that time in order to pull them as their opposites, and to contrast their nobility with their vulgarity.
At that time, the Internet culture still had a traditional cultural orientation, and entertainment always pointed to seriousness.
Now, netizens have no intention of initiating a trial against the harlequin, and they don't mind mingling with him, one by one, "completely me".
This is to use all the absurd and absurd to express the nothingness of life.
So don't doubt that Wanyan Huide's popularity is a joke in itself, without any deep meaning behind it.
But this doesn't actually mean that contemporary netizens regard themselves as human beings.
Because although this generation is mean, what they want to joke about most in their hearts is always themselves.
And the appearance of this documentary is a belated correction to this game of deconstruction.
The meaning and value that have been left behind by netizens have all returned to their places within ten minutes.
Regarding academic qualifications, she did complete the psychology course of Peking University through self-examination, and she is not a charlatan.
The ancient surname that she was more like a liar is also not apocryphal. Her hometown of Jingchuan, Gansu Province, does have descendants of the Jurchen tribe, and she still boasts of the Yan clan.
She lives alone in a low-rent house in Xi'an, lives a life of rough tea and light food, has not bought new clothes for three years, and is as frugal and simple as many low-level women of the same age.
Behind Wanyan Huide, there is actually an unknown growth history that has been deliberately omitted.
Born in a patriarchal village, he lost his father at a young age and was considered by his mother to be a drag oil bottle.
Since the age of 9, he began to cook by himself, and when he saw his father in pain at school, he could only turn around and cry silently.
In stark contrast, Generation Z chose to go crazy in the face of the pain of life, and Wanyan Huide chose the so-called "positive psychology" when facing the weight of life.
One thing that proves that she is not a liar is that she absolutely lives up to her own teachings and believes in them.
In this era, we regard it as chicken soup, internal friction, and PUA, but for her, it is the only sustenance to support spiritual power.
The psychology of the older generation does not cure diseases, but only hypocrisy.
To be honest, Wanyan Huide's journey has been difficult and moving.
Her hole cards are so bad that when it is really spread, netizens can no longer bear to criticize.
Relying on a set of stall-level inspirational chicken soup to drive yourself out of the mountains, create a career, and climb to the highest university, this is a story that can make contemporary college students break out in a cold sweat just by listening to it.
As a result, Wanyan Huide's clown attributes disappeared overnight, and it was replaced by a positive narrative of "the core of comedy is tragedy".
An audience member once asked "Why didn't my mother take me when she got married", and the answer she gave was "Because you are my mother's oil bottle".

Now this is interpreted as a higher level of empathy for her own experience.
Even, some people began to praise her with the rhetoric of the realistic version of "I Am a Mountain".
In the past, it was seen as a joke, but since then, it has become "sincerity that is not respected".
But the little touch I felt at the moment after watching the documentary also turned into confusion at this moment.
I don't deny the courage of Yan Huide to play with fate.
But I don't think that the opposite of "Harlequin" must be a "great man" who is not clean.
Or why can't she just be an "ordinary person"?
Using the narrative of a great man and the design of a big hostess to package Yan Huide is not only untrue, but also has no positive significance.
In the final analysis, Wanyan Huide has nothing to do with the modern values of independence, sobriety, and progress, she relies on a set of old-fashioned three views to survive, and even more so to survive.
Of course, "old" is not a problem, it is determined by her objective life experience.
However, the "old" does mean obsolescence, which makes it neither to blame nor to guide the modern.
The identity we should give back to her is a specific low-level woman, not a sacred monument from heaven.
Once someone asked, a girl was taken to a nightclub by her boyfriend and had a relationship with three members of the opposite sex, and she didn't know whose one she was pregnant.
Wanyan's answer is, whoever you love, just say whose child it is.
This kind of story is actually mostly a joke in her live broadcast room.
However, as a professional and serious psychological counselor, her answer is still not professional, technical, or even basic ethical literacy.
Of course, I don't want to criticize her for anything that is not conducive to social progress or anything, there are countless women on this earth who like to watch chicken soup and make chicken soup, and there are a few in my family, is it really harming anyone?
Netizens took her as a joke at first because she was not Dai Jinhua or Ueno Chizuruko, she was just an everyday middle-aged woman with old-fashioned ideas, old-fashioned thinking, and a very wild path.
I have a deep respect for her struggle, but I still don't accept the act of making her personal history into a myth.
Whether it is demonized or deified, it is not respect for an ordinary person.
In the previous article, I tried to dissect the nothingness advocated by Generation Z, and I also tried my best to portray the inspirational love of the older generation.
This is an objective contradiction in this era, where different values are mixed, collided, and clashed, giving birth to many topics and polemics.
I was in the middle of it, and I was as overwhelmed as everyone else.
But what I am more opposed to is the integration of this normal chaos in society into a single value.
For example, come up with the most traditional Wei Guangzheng script, praising efforts to change lives and achieve destiny positively, but making the laughter of young people before seem immature and mean, and everyone has to apologize for it in the end.
In the end, everything returns to the plot of those who are noble and forgive those who are naïve.
My thinking is that we need to apologize for the malice we have in words and deeds, but we don't need to apologize for feeling nihilistic.
As mentioned above, Wanyan Huide's popularity is not an accident, she perfectly fits the generation's fascination with absurdity, abstraction, and meaninglessness.
What the public is keen on is often the externalization of the psychology of the times.
Nowadays, the ability to express itself has faded indefinitely, and people are surrounded by repeated words, opening and closing their mouths "who understands the family" and "screaming, twisting and crawling darkly", so that no one can accurately express their complex emotions.
What people can do is to keep digging up something curious, weird, and even traditionally "ugly" to metaphorize the alienation of mental states.
There is no such thing as the most abstract meme, only the most abstract era.
The fault is not in the stale and cheesy of Wanyan Huide, nor in the emptiness and madness of young people, but in the environment that creates these burdens.
It is never the psychology of chicken soup that soothes the public, but the absurdist humor that people create by constantly rebelling against seriousness.
Yu Wenliang is like this, Juanzi is like this, Xiucai is like this with a smile, and Wanyan Huide is also like this.
I hope that there will be more kindness, tolerance and understanding in society.
But I don't want to see young people have a kind of wrong introspection after this canonization:
"It turned out that I was ignorant, I couldn't be so nihilistic, but I should learn Xi this kind of inspirationalism. ”
But the problem is, we feel lost, isn't it because the values of the older generation can no longer support and coax us forward?
The old world has collapsed, how can we survive by relying on the old spirit?
There is a scene in the documentary that always haunts me.
In the bleak winter of her hometown, she sat in a withered yellow at the age of more than half a hundred and made an assumption for her life:
If only the father were there
Maybe I won't leave this place
This is the limitation of people in the old times, and it is also her sigh at the mercy of fate.
She never forgot her father, who died young, and felt that if he was still alive, she might not have to take this "angry" road of escape. This is a deep-rooted Electra complex, a dependence on one's father that has not had time to change.
In Generation Z, which is prone to "spiritual patricide", we ourselves choose to break away from the most stable patriarchy, and we have to face the wandering helplessness.
It is impossible for us to be like Tong Xiangyu, chew a thousand-year-old ginseng, sweep away the frustration in an instant, and become an inspirational queen.
Wanyan Huide's story talks about the moment of mutual understanding, which is just the right state.
If you have to engage in reading comprehension and value refinement, it will be really boring.
is pretending to be confused, why do you have to slap a big value on the face of a fake sleeper?
Just like Wanyan Huide herself, she constantly sighed that the world has changed too much and is incompatible with the world.
I think that even if she is nostalgic for the old again, she has actually touched the sense of emptiness in the new era.
