Internet celebrity "Artist Red Boy" unfortunately died in a car accident, and he was covered with tattoos and kissed paper people
Late at night on December 30th, there was a sad news in the Internet celebrity circle: a young Internet celebrity named "Artist Red Child" died in a car accident. The front of the car is seriously deformed, and the scene is miserable, this news not only makes people feel sorry for this young life, but also triggers a heated discussion among netizens about the performance form of "Opposite Shed" he is engaged in: Is it a traditional cultural inheritance, or a rendering of vulgar entertainment?
The "artist Red Boy" who died in a car accident is an Internet celebrity who became popular with his studio performance. He was only in his 20s, and he was at the age when the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and no matter what seemed to them, it didn't seem to be a big deal. On the night of the incident, an eyewitness exposed the scene of the car where the red boy was located, which was very tragic, the front of the car was seriously deformed, and the people in the car also died on the spot. Such a sudden accident makes people feel that life is like a dream.
It can be seen from looking at Red Boy's online videos that he usually performs some extremely dangerous masochistic actions, and it seems that as long as he can attract attention, he doesn't care about hurting himself. These include piercing the face with wire, banging your head into a can, inserting a needle into your tongue, etc.
Every action looks scary, but it also makes people can't help but keep watching.
In order to be more "domineering", the red boy also tattooed exaggerated large tattoos all over his body. He even kissed a paper portrait in the video, refused to take anesthetics when he went to the hospital for treatment, and so on.
These moves all seem to be aimed at attracting eyeballs and getting more clicks and traffic. However, creating such an image is also inseparable from his professional "pairing", so do you know what "pairing" is?
The so-called "tent" is a group of trumpeters specially hired at the funeral to play music in the afternoon and evening of the second day after the funeral to express mourning. In the homes of some wealthy people, sometimes two groups of trumpeters are invited to play on the east and west sides of the courtyard to see which one performs better, and this kind of funeral is called "anti-shed". It can be said that this form, as a traditional culture, is more solemn and solemn in itself.
However, with the development of society, the performance form of "Opposite Booth" has gradually been used by some people to make profits or create gimmicks. For example, in variety shows, sometimes the studio performers are invited to perform some dangerous actions on the show. This has deviated from the original intention of "Opposite Booth" as a traditional funeral ceremony, and has been reduced to a thrilling performance.
However, the role of such a performance is debatable. Cultural inheritance needs to be carried forward, and at the same time, those rotten dross must be eliminated in time. Relying solely on such dangerous and vulgar tactics to gain attention has limited enlightening significance for the audience, and the negative effects may far outweigh the positive effects.
Not only can this kind of performance be detrimental to the performer's own physical and mental health, but it can also easily mislead the young and frenzied audience to follow suit. While we pursue novelty and excitement, we still need to maintain rational judgment and discern what is really worth learning and Xi inheriting.
Perhaps, the tragic death of Red Boy can serve as a warning to more peers and audiences to reflect on whether this kind of performance is really worth advocating. While we enjoy the performance, we should also care about and respect the safety of every performer.
It is hoped that the tragedy of the red child will make more people realize the preciousness of life and trigger in-depth thinking about the so-called "shed culture". We need to not only inherit and promote those truly meaningful traditions, but also clean up those harmful dross in a timely manner, which requires the joint efforts of everyone.
