The truth behind the mutual criticism of netizens on both sides of the strait: misunderstanding and communication under the label of giant baby
1. The "giant baby" controversy that detonated the Internet
Recently, there has been a debate on the Internet about "giant babies". A Taiwan netizen's fierce remarks were like a bombshell, causing netizens on both sides of the strait to discuss a lot. He directly denounced mainland netizens as "giant babies accustomed to socialism", and it seems that overnight, all mainland netizens were labeled with this derogatory label. Such remarks undoubtedly add another layer of gunpowder to the already delicate relations between the two sides of the strait.
Second, the giant baby is really synonymous with mainland netizens?
However, when we calm down and rationally analyze this controversy, we can't help but ask: Can giant babies really become synonymous with mainland netizens? Obviously, this is just an extreme case of remarks, and it cannot represent the mentality and state of the entire mainland netizen group. Mainland society is undergoing unprecedented changes and development, and people's vision and mentality are gradually opening up and maturing.
Perhaps, the "giant baby" referred to by this Taiwanese netizen is just the performance of some mainland netizens in specific situations, such as emotional speeches on the Internet, or excessive interpretation of certain social issues. But this does not represent all mainland netizens, let alone become the standard for judging the entire mainland society.
3. Misunderstanding and Prejudice: A Stumbling Block to Cross-Strait Exchanges
In this "giant baby" controversy, it is not difficult for us to see that there are some misunderstandings and prejudices among netizens on both sides of the strait. Such misunderstandings and prejudices often stem from a lack of understanding of each other's societies, cultures, and histories. And this deficiency often leads to conflicts and contradictions between the two sides in exchanges.
As a matter of fact, compatriots on both sides of the strait have the same roots, the same culture, and the same species, and we share a common ancestor, a common cultural tradition, and a common historical memory. However, in the course of historical changes, the two sides of the strait have embarked on different paths of development and formed their own unique social systems and cultural characteristics. This difference has, to a certain extent, exacerbated the misunderstanding and prejudice between the two sides.
Fourth, to enhance understanding and eliminate prejudice
How should we respond to such misunderstandings and prejudices? First of all, we need to enhance mutual understanding and trust through more dialogue and communication. Only by truly understanding each other's society, culture, and history can we better understand each other's actions and words.
Second, we need to be open-minded and accept and respect each other's differences. In communication, we should avoid using offensive and insulting language, and instead express our opinions and opinions in a rational and peaceful manner.
Finally, both sides of the strait should strive to promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, which is an inevitable requirement for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Against the backdrop of globalization, the prospects for cross-strait cooperation will be broader, and the fields of cooperation will be more diversified. The two sides of the strait should work together for economic prosperity, cultural exchanges, and social progress, so as to create more benefits for compatriots on both sides of the strait.
5. My views and future prospects
In this "giant baby" controversy, I have seen misunderstandings and prejudices between netizens on both sides of the strait, but I have also seen their efforts to enhance understanding and eliminate prejudice through dialogue and communication. I firmly believe that with the passage of time and the deepening of exchanges, misunderstandings and prejudices between netizens on both sides of the strait will be gradually eliminated, and more harmonious and friendly relations will be established between the two sides.
In the future, I look forward to more in-depth cooperation and exchanges between the two sides of the strait in various fields. Both economic cooperation and cultural exchanges will inject new vitality into the prosperity and development of the two sides of the strait. I believe that with the joint efforts of the compatriots on both sides of the strait, cross-strait relations will usher in a better tomorrow.
