If you do a survey on the most popular self-media platform, then there are definitely more people who like Sima Nan than Sima Qian, and there are more people who like Zhang Weiwei than Zhang Weiying.
This situation is not a good phenomenon, let's first take a look at why so many people like Sima Nan and Zhang Weiwei.
They have a common characteristic, that is, they are good at catering to the psychology of the common people, and they will say whatever the people like to hear.
For example, Sima Nan, he knows that the people's life is not easy, he is dissatisfied with the inequality between the rich and the poor, and hates the enrichment of private pockets and embezzlement of state-owned assets in some capitals, so he exposed the so-called "loss of Lenovo state-owned assets", so that Sima Nan's fans have skyrocketed, and he has become the embodiment of heroes and justice.
In fact, Lenovo has risen from a mess on the verge of bankruptcy to a large-scale modern enterprise, and Mr. Liu Chuanzhi has made great contributions.
Of course, in the development and reform of enterprises, there will definitely be such and such problems, if there is a problem, a stick will be beaten to death, then the social economy can only stagnate.
As for Zhang Weiwei, seizing the people's patriotism and dissatisfaction with the United States to make a fuss is also to earn enough eyeballs.
For example, he said that the middle class in the mainland is richer than the middle class in the United States;
It is not easy to compare whether the Chinese middle class is rich or not the American middle class, but what can be known is that the Chinese middle class is the top part of the pyramid, while the American middle class is the waist of the pyramid.
In order to further prove his conclusion, Zhang Weiying went to the construction site and saw that the working meals of the workers included meat, so he sighed with emotion: the working meals of Chinese workers are better than those of the American middle class.
Zhang Weiwei also said that the Gini coefficient does not apply to China. We are a country owned by the whole people, and as a citizen of China, you have more than just a salary, you are actually very rich, and the profits of land, forestry, mines, state-owned enterprises, etc., are all your property, so you are actually a rich person.
Listen, Zhang Weiwei cleverly used conceptual games to describe the common people as rich, satisfying the vanity of some Chinese people, and indeed making himself a large number of fans.
Second, Zhang Weiwei and Sima Nan are not as upright and independent and critical as Zhang Weiying and Sima Qian.
As we all know, Sima Qian justified Li Ling out of justice, but he annoyed the brutal Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and actually punished him in the palace.
After that, in order to complete the great historical masterpiece "Historical Records", Sima Qian endured humiliation and wrote a book with anger. Even in the face of adversity, Sima Qian still did not change his original intention, and still truthfully wrote objective and fair historical facts, including the very sensitive period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Looking at Zhang Weiying, as a professor of economics at Peking University, he did not follow the crowd and say some unrealistic big words and empty words to cater to the arrogant psychology of some people, but analyzed the contrast between the Chinese model and the Western American model in a realistic manner, admitted our backwardness and shortcomings, and faced the reality squarely, which is the most important thing for an economist with an independent personality to do.
On the other hand, Sima Nan has always been a grass on the wall, drifting with the flow, and there are two typical examples:
One was in the eighties of the last century, when qigong was very popular, Sima Nan also practiced qigong, but after a while, he found that the wind was not in the right direction, and immediately put down the butcher's knife and became a Buddha on the ground, and changed it to oppose qigong.
Another thing is related to Chongqing, so I won't talk about it here.
Besides, Zhang Weiwei, as a professor of public relations, has no achievements that can be done, but he often makes some shocking remarks, and in fact he is also a scholar with no independent thinking personality, and following the crowd is his strength.
Therefore, China should have more people with independent thinking personalities like Sima Qian, Sima Guang, Zhang Weiying, etc., and fewer Internet celebrities like Sima Nan and Zhang Weiwei, which will be a great luck for the country and the people!
