Recently, the entertainment industry has not been calm. Cheng Mou, an anchor of Hainan Radio and Television Station, has attracted widespread attention and controversy on the Internet because of a remark about the earthquake in Japan. He said in a video: "Retribution is coming, a 7.4-magnitude earthquake has struck Japan!", and his rhetoric was very vehement, which caused great public attention and controversy for a while.
Conflicting values
Cheng's words are contrary to our Chinese tradition of "three non-smiling", which refers to not laughing at natural disasters, man-made disasters and diseases. This kind of value has been ingrained in our hearts, but Cheng's remarks forcibly touched the sensitive nerves of the public and aroused public outrage.
Responsibilities of the Streamer
The Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office of Hainan Radio and Television Station asked Cheng to delete the relevant video in response to the incident. This move reflects the media's attitude towards anomie in words and deeds, and emphasizes the responsibility of media people in the public space. A qualified anchor should have received a rigorous education in journalistic ethics and have normal values and judgment. However, Cheng's remarks are obviously a bit excessive and confusing.
The international friendly side
What is even more unacceptable is that when our country is making every effort to deal with the "December 18 Jishishan earthquake", Cheng made inappropriate remarks on the issue of the earthquake in Japan, which was criticized and regarded as a despicable act that did not care about the suffering of his compatriots. There have been problems in Sino-Japanese relations, but countries should also show mutual support and friendship in times of emergency.
A call for reason and respect
The anchor's words and deeds triggered us to reflect deeply on the incident. Finally, he called on media professionals to remain rational and respectful at all times, not only to deal with domestic and foreign disasters, but also to assume their social responsibilities. In international interactions, we should spread the spirit of friendship and mutual assistance, and not damage the image of the country through inappropriate words and deeds.
Summary: The responsibility to maintain an international image
In general, this turmoil not only involves Zhou Pengan alone, but also a warning to the entire media industry. Media anchors need to be mindful of their social responsibilities at all times, as inappropriate speech and behavior can trigger a chain reaction and negatively affect the country's image. Through rational discussion and reflection, we can better safeguard the image of the country and spread the vastness and friendliness of Chinese civilization#Headline Creation Challenge#
