Wu Yifan has never been a "person"

Text/West Slope

In response to the network report that "Wu Moufan repeatedly lured young women into sexual relations" and other relevant circumstances, after police investigation, Wu Moufan (male, 30 years old, Canadian nationality) has been suspected of rape, has been criminally detained by the Chaoyang Public Security Bureau according to law, and the investigation of the case is being further carried out.

@ Ping An Beijing Chaoyang A Weibo, 20 minutes 100,000 comments, 400,000 retweets.

In our context, although there is still the word "suspected" in the official notification, wu Yifan can basically be regarded as a criminal.

What I want to say is that Wu Yifan is not a person. I am not swearing, but saying that the name is more of a symbol to us.

Tonight, countless editors and journalists are sleepless. Of course, this article is also rubbing hot spots.

But as cunning as I am, I have to admit now that I know nothing about Wu Yifan.

I also want to tear down everyone's stage, admit it, we don't know anything about Wu Yifan.

In addition to knowing that he has sung some songs that are not painful or itchy, has acted in some embarrassing plays, and participated in some non-trivial programs, what else do we know about this person?

Everything he does in front of the stage exists as props. He can be Wu Yifan, Zhang Yifan, Li Yifan, Wang Yifan. There's no difference, just like different brands of shampoos.

About P this point is already one of the most human-like traits in him.

I even thought darkly, could this be a deformed rebellion of this puppet against the matchmaker?

"I've sold you everything, except for the lower part of my body, which I want to squander at will."

Rape is, of course, a crime without any room for whitewashing. But if after such a big upheaval, we just add some labels such as "criminal", "perverted" and "garbage" to Wu Yifan's puppet, then we actually did not learn anything.

It can be expected that there will definitely be comments in the media condemning Wu Yifan, condemning traffic stars, and advocating positive energy. But these articles are meaningless except to rub traffic.

We don't need to criticize Wu Yifan. Because there is no Wu Yifan at all, only Wu Yifan, this symbol, this prop.

Wu Yifan's reduction to criminality (to be precise, a criminal suspect) is no different from the social significance of passers-by becoming a criminal.

Wu Yifan's downfall, for the traders behind the scenes, is purely a product problem. Pay attention next time.

You regard Wu Yifan as a public figure, and capital regards Wu Yifan as a defective product. Everyone's perception is completely misplaced.

When a man of such a high profile, but so bad, is about to be completely expelled from the public sphere, we suddenly find that he is not a person at all. This is the most absurd and sad part of the whole thing.

Guy Debord's masterpiece, Landscape Society, published in 1967, was an indictment of the modern capitalist way of life. The so-called "landscape society" is that images replace meaning, appearances replace depth, and gaze replaces freedom, that is, a society in which all things are in some absurd paradoxical form.

I would like to continue to admit that I know nothing about the theory of "landscape society", but I have been impressed by the word after it was popularized by friends in the past few years. The above brief introduction was also searched out temporarily.

But at this moment, only the word "landscape society" can describe the impression of Wu Yifan's incident.

We stare at the center of the stage every day, and the smiles and smiles of those stars can be on the hot search, but they are not "people".

The disappearance of "man" from the public sphere is the greatest disease of our time.
