Recently, Professor Chu Yin's remarks on social media were like a shock, setting off a great discussion in the public opinion circles about public figures, international influence, and the dignity of the country and the nation. Professor Chu Yin called on the public to maintain a tolerant attitude towards Messi, believing that excessive criticism of the football superstar may trigger an unnecessary backlash of public opinion, and advocated that Messi should be given enough understanding and respect.
However, as soon as this remark came out, it attracted strong doubts and criticism from many netizens. Some people sharply pointed out that Professor Chu Yin seems to be too concerned about Messi's influence on a global scale, but ignores the emotional demands of the 1.4 billion Chinese people and the importance of national dignity. In their view, no matter how great the influence of a football star is, when it comes to issues that may touch the dignity of the country and the people, intellectuals should be at the forefront of defending national interests and national feelings, rather than being too weak because of international influence.
Some netizens can't help but cite the heroic words of the ancients, "Every time you slaughter more dogs, most of you are readers", in order to satirize those intellectuals who failed to adhere to their principles at critical moments. Such a viewpoint emphasizes the sense of social responsibility and moral courage that intellectuals should have, that is, when facing issues involving the fundamental interests of the state and the nation, they should not be swayed by the so-called international pressure or personality cult, but should stick to the bottom line of morality and dare to speak out.
Of course, there are also some rational voices that remind us of the need to take matters into account and avoid emotional over-interpretation when discussing such issues. Professor Chu Yin, perhaps out of his understanding of the complex network of international relations, is concerned about the counterproductive effects of radical criticism. But in any case, this incident has exposed the current society's differences in the scale of judging the behavior of public figures, as well as the deep thinking on how to balance the dignity of the state and the rights of individuals when dealing with conflicts of public opinion at home and abroad.
In the end, whether we support or disagree with Professor Chu Yin's views, this debate undoubtedly provides us with an excellent perspective to examine the pluralistic issues of intellectual elite position selection, public opinion guidance, and national image building in modern society. In the ever-changing international environment, we need to think more carefully about how to define the boundaries of individual celebrities, and how to properly protect the dignity of the country and the nation.
