A few years ago, Song Dongye was a leading figure in the folk music circle.
His masterpieces "Miss Dong" and "Zebra Zebra" appeared in taverns and cafes across the country, and he also became popular with this, touring 120 times a year and earning nearly 30 million yuan a year.
Until October 13, 2016, Beijing police arrested Song Dongye buying drugs and tested positive for urine at the scene.
Because of smoking marijuana, Song Dongye was administratively detained by the police for 10 days.
In the next few years, those who did not pay attention to the folk circle may not have seen him again.
At 11:20 p.m. on October 11, he suddenly posted a long Weibo post:
"I need to say something."
Why is there such a sudden feeling?
Because some time ago, Song Dongye had a performance that was canceled.
He felt very aggrieved, so he broke the defense late at night and sent a long article complaining like a self-detonating truck.
To sum up the general idea:
Paragraphs 1-4 (describing the incident): After I took drugs, the performance was stopped, and the detention cast a shadow on my life, and I did not dare to take drugs anymore.
Paragraphs 5-9 (sophistry): I only take drugs, I don't sell drugs, drug use is illegal, drug trafficking is a crime, I am a victim! I took drugs because it was too difficult to create an artist, I wanted to create depression, only to be taken advantage of by drug traffickers, drugs are "for" to create "needs", killing people is the drug dealers not me! I just want to create well when I take drugs! It wasn't me who was wrong!
Paragraphs 10-15 (Calling Myself Wrong): I've been banned for three years! Also detained! I didn't continue to fall! Why don't you let me have a way to live! You people are all targeting me! Doesn't it mean that the whole society should give opportunities to those who have broken the law?
After this article was sent, he still kept replying to netizens, shaking the sky.
The most shocking thing is that under the Weibo of the Chinese police online, there are netizens @ him.
"The money spent on drug use turned into drug money to buy bullets and hit the anti-drug police." Take a good look, do you still feel wronged? ”
Song Dongye threw a voice: "I think." ”
In the long text sophistry, he believes that he took drugs because it was too painful to be an artist, and it was for creation.
And his detention is punished, and after the so-called "three-year ban period", there should be no longer any restrictions on him.
The cancellation of his performances now does not give people a way to live, does not allow him to return to society to support his family.
However, this logic is really not smooth.
First of all, the so-called "drug use is because it is too painful to be an artist, I have to do this in order to create, I am a victim", which is sophistry.
Artists may indeed be hardworking, with unimaginable pains for ordinary people, but each line and every profession has its own difficult scriptures.
If it is true as he said, when the artist is so painful, the pain has to be relieved by drug use, then, netizens told him to tighten the screws, how can he break the defense? Isn't going to work in a factory just to save you from the sea of suffering?
Moreover, "creating a satisfactory work" is inherently painful, which is a problem faced by all creators.
Any work that touches people's hearts is a pearl that the creator has pondered with his soul in pain.
If you have to paralyze yourself with drugs to have creative inspiration, doesn't that mean you don't have the talent and talent to support the glory you have?
Using this reason to justify oneself degrades the personality of all creators.
The so-called "supply creates demand" can only be said by people in very backward and poor areas who have been infected with drugs when they know nothing about drugs. He knows the dangers of drugs, but chooses to take drugs in order to take shortcuts, so he is not a victim, but an accomplice of drug dealers.
Now he is telling the whole world not to allow him to be a man again, and he has paid the price he should pay a thousand times over.
can...... Just six months after his drug use, he released several new songs; all of his works are now available on music platforms, and even before the pandemic, he had already toured several cities.
New songs, business performances, music festivals – as a public figure who has encountered the highest red line, he has shifted his position and made a comeback, but it is not enough, clamoring for more freedom.
Society allows violators to become human beings again, but they should not be allowed to become public figures again.
Because becoming a public figure means that he becomes a leader while earning a thousand times more money than ordinary people.
He could go and be an ordinary man.
You can go to the office as a clerk, you can go to be a blue-collar worker, you can go to be a courier brother, you can even go to work behind the scenes, you can go to write songs for other artists.
Society gives everyone who truly repents of a chance to survive, but he identifies "being an ordinary person" as "not giving him a way to live."
He just wants to continue to appear in the spotlight of the stage, make quick money, and influence thousands of people with his every move.
But if he did, more people would think that drug use was just an ordinary thing.
People who like him will unconsciously defend him when they encounter criticism, even if they know that drug use is wrong, they will find various reasons to prove that he is confused for a while, can be quit, is a victim, is for creation, and does not cause much harm.
After repeating it over and over again, his supporters will actually think so.
Below the comments that determined he should not come back:
"You are so aggressive, why don't you forgive him, he has already reflected"
In order to whitewash Song Dongye, his supporters did not hesitate to directly point the spearhead at the anti-drug police, which was really disgusting.
Anti-narcotics police are the most dangerous and sacrificial police in the public security force.
We don't know too many anti-drug heroes.
Because all the anti-drug police who are publicly named are people who have already sacrificed: for example, Zhang Congshun's father and son.
In 1994, Zhang Congshun, a police officer in Lincang, Yunnan Province, was injured and killed by a grenade when he arrested a drug dealer;
After his sacrifice, his son wept uncontrollably.
He didn't know what death meant at the time, but he already knew that his father would never come home again.
But later, he also followed in his father's footsteps and entered the anti-drug detachment.
While filming the video, he still couldn't show his face, so the reporter used backlighting to protect the hero.
But a few months after filming, when the documentary aired — his voice didn't need to be processed anymore.
His identity is already public, and there is no longer a need for anonymity.
His name was also black boxed.
In 2020, Zhang Ziquan, who was only 36 years old, also sacrificed in his post when he detected a major epidemic-related project across borders and provinces.
The reason why we can't see the darkness is not because there is no darkness, but because someone has done everything in their power to keep the darkness out of sight.
Since 2017, more than 30 anti-drug police officers have been killed and more than 60 anti-drug police officers have been injured.
Drug dealers know that once caught, they will be sentenced to death, so when they resist, they use all kinds of mad means to kill the anti-drug police.
Any anti-narcotics police officer whose identity is exposed will face a terrifying counterattack.
They can't put the names of their friends and family members in their contacts, and even having a photo with their children is a luxury.
The average life expectancy of China's anti-narcotics police is 41 years, which is 36 years less than the average life expectancy of the people in the country.
But their exploits have always been hidden under thick mosaics, and the suffering they have experienced is not even known to their families.
An anti-narcotics officer once said in an interview:
"Sometimes I'm confused and sad, and it's really hard to see some star-chasing peers encouraging drug-addicted entertainers to come back, and to see some police officers maintaining law and order but being booed by a large group of people to 'get out.'"
"But on second thought, they can have leisure to chase the stars, perhaps because they are far away from the dark side of society." Every time we find a drug, we may save a family. Thinking of it this way, I am even more proud of myself as an anti-narcotics policeman. ”
We do not forgive drug addicts, do not agree with the comeback of bad artists, not to give them a way to survive.
It's about giving more anti-narcotics cops a way home.
