Title: Heroes are also people, Internet celebrity Zhan Qixiong was suppressed by the Internet and questioned his live broadcast rights
In 2010, Zhan Qixiong, a Chinese fisherman, became an instant hit for driving a boat in the waters off the Diaoyu Islands and ramming a Japanese patrol boat, earning him the nickname "Ship Crash Hero." However, today, 14 years later, this "ship-crashing hero" who once won glory for the country suffered online violence and was questioned that he should not make money through live broadcasts, which aroused widespread public attention.
Origin of the event
According to the situation revealed by Zhan Qixiong himself in the live broadcast, when he was selling goods in an online live broadcast recently, an unknown person frantically reported and complained, harassing himself and his family through private messages, thinking that as a "hero", he should not make money through live broadcasts, which will "consume the aura of heroes".
In this regard, Zhan Qixiong put a screenshot of the private message in the latest live broadcast, and it can be seen that someone clearly wrote "You are a hero who is worthless" and "You should not use this way to deceive sympathy and make money", and the tone is very intense.
Some people even insulted Zhan Qixiong and his family directly in private messages, "The whole family is a dog", saying "You wait". Zhan Qixiong couldn't bear these human cyber attacks, and he asked the audience in the live broadcast room: "What did I do wrong?" Why can't it be advertised or live-streamed?"
"Heroes" have no choice but to defend their rights
Regarding such a personal attack, Zhan Qixiong said helplessly in the live broadcast: "I didn't disgrace the motherland, I won glory for the country." He explained that he just wanted to make a living from live broadcasting: "You have food to eat, and I only eat a little porridge."
Zhan Qixiong also said that he just wanted to earn some living expenses through live broadcasts, and he also had to pay for mobile phone bills and electricity bills, as well as an old mother and two children to support, "I'm not doing bad things." It can be seen that Zhan Qixiong, who was previously crowned as a "hero", is now living in a poor situation and can only rely on live broadcasts to make a living.
The incident aroused widespread attention and discussion, and the attack on Zhan Qixiong, a "ship-ramming hero", once became a hot topic. Some analysts believe that this reflects the "double standard" of some people towards celebrities and heroes: Zhan Qixiong was worshiped to "win glory for the country" in the past, but now he is attacked and abused for making money through live broadcasts.
Some netizens also suspect that this may be some people with ulterior motives targeting Zhan Qixiong himself, which has led to the recent wave of online violence. "You hit their master, of course they bite you."
Call for attention to the protection of the rights and interests of heroes
In this regard, many netizens did not agree with the personal attack on Zhan Qixiong. They believe that although Zhan Qixiong was once famous, he is also a mortal after all, and the pressure of life also exists, and the "hero" is a human being after all, and he can make a living through reasonable and legal ways if he has life needs.
"They say it easily, but do heroes deserve to be poor?"
"If you have contributed to the country, you should live in the mouths of others, can't you live well in reality?"
Many netizens even directly supported Zhan Qixiong: "The ship-crashing hero wants to make money to support his family through mainstream channels, what's wrong?"
"As long as he doesn't break the law and discipline, it's understandable how he wants to make money."
In addition, some people have raised reflections: Did everyone deify the concept of "hero" too much in the first place? I only see the word "hero", and ignore his vital interests as an ordinary person.
Author's point of view:
As an ordinary netizen, I express my deep helplessness and regret for this incident. Mr. Zhan Qixiong was once a "ship-colliding hero" who made contributions to safeguarding national interests and territorial sovereignty, and he really deserved praise and admiration back then.
However, it is really regrettable and disappointing that some people have personally attacked and abused him for making money through live streaming to support his family. Are heroes destined to live in poverty? Should you be able to do nothing but live in other people's mouths?
We need to understand that heroes are also human beings, and they also have the right to live, and they also need to maintain basic livelihoods. As long as Mr. Zhan's live broadcast behavior is not illegal and does not do anything harmful, why can't he make money to support his family? What's wrong with live streaming sales? Aren't many influencers doing this to make a living now?
Admittedly, some people think that in his capacity he probably shouldn't have done so. But that's just a narrow view. Everyone is equal before the law, so why can't Mr. Zhan, as a citizen, engage in a legitimate profession?
Now some netizens are indiscriminately attacking, abusing and abusing without thinking, which is obviously a very irrational behavior that violates the basic concept of right and wrong and the bottom line of morality. Insulting words such as "the whole family is" is even more low-level and vile to the extreme. We want to condemn such personal attacks and online violence.
In contrast, Mr. Zhan's statement is very calm and rational. He didn't sit down, nor did he fight back excitedly, but just told his life dilemma and showed that he was not at fault for what he did. This kind of bottom-line thinking deserves our respect.
In general, I call on everyone to look at this matter rationally and not to follow the crowd and make personal attacks. Mr. Zhan's actions are not illegal and do not harm others, so there is no need to make such a fuss. As an ordinary citizen, he should also support his family, which has nothing to do with his former "hero" status.
We should reflect on whether we have deified "heroes" and neglected their basic rights. After all, heroes are human beings who need to be loved, cared for, and defended by rights, and should not be harmed or discriminated against. Let us call for civility and rationality to build a harmonious online environment.
