Recently, Uncle Dao brushed Weibo and saw that Song Dongye, an artist who had been detained for drug abuse, had sent a small long article and cried out for himself. What about grievances? Because of drug abuse five years ago, his recent performance was reported to have been cancelled.
Song Dongye felt that he was very wronged, but what was his reason?
He felt that the artist's work was stressful, the creative process was too painful, and it was the hardest hit area of depression and mental illness, so it was difficult to resist the temptation of drugs.
He argued that he had nothing to do with the "death of the anti-drug policeman" because he believed that "in the case of drugs, 'offering' has been unilaterally creating 'needs'" and that "drug trafficking is a crime, and drug users are only victims". He felt that he had paid the price for drug use and had not let him perform in public for 5 years, which was simply too much.

Just as netizens criticized, from Song Dongye's article, there is no sense of introspection. Because artists don't do a good job, they can't resist the temptation of drugs? What logic is this! In the foreign music circle and rock circle, how many drug addicts "predecessors" died of drugs at a young age, good not to learn, not to learn this? We often say that the adult world has the word "easy", is it too stressful to take drugs?
The so-called supply and demand relationship is even more nonsense. Without buying and selling, there is no killing, without a market, where are the sellers? In the early years, it was buyers' demand for fur and ivory that spawned poachers of wild animals such as elephants and Tibetan antelopes. Similarly, it is the addict group that underpins the thriving drug market. If everyone doesn't take drugs, who will the drug dealers sell their drugs to? It is true that Song Dongye did not shoot the bullet at the anti-narcotics police, but the real money and silver taken out by one drug addict after another gave the drug-making and trafficking elements the capital to arm themselves.
Why are we so insistent on zero tolerance for bad artists who use drugs, and even go to the end of their way? Because it has a strong exemplary effect as a public figure. Just imagine, if a public figure with a large audience and fans can make a safe comeback after being banned for a period of time because of illegal problems such as drug use, and continue to accept the pursuit of fans and make a lot of money, how will the public feel? Doesn't it matter if you break the law and commit crimes, and you are a good man after a few years of hiding?
It should be said that China has one of the lowest tolerances to drugs in the world, and the Opium War more than 100 years ago has so far made all Chinese regarded as a national shame. In the old society, drugs were extremely rampant in China, resulting in the decline of national strength, social disintegration, and damage to the health of the people. It was smoked by lying on the kang and smoking a big cigarette. Drugs, as a social cancer, once it has begun, it is difficult to cure it. In the 1980s, the United States wanted to eradicate drugs, and CIA agents were sent to South America to fight drug lords, but 40 years later, what is the effect?

China's real eradication of the drug problem was only realized after the founding of New China. The struggle cannot be done once and for all, and to this day there are still countless people who have made their lives anonymous and sacrificed on the anti-drug front.
For more than 70 years, more than 4,000 public security officers and police officers in China have sacrificed in the frontline of anti-narcotics, and the number of anti-narcotics police officers who have died every year is 4.9 times that of other police departments, and the injury rate is 10 times higher. If we let the drug addict artists "start from scratch" in a dignified manner, can we afford those sacrificial anti-drug policemen? You can start from scratch, can they come back from the dead?
In the final analysis, no reason is an excuse for drug use, and drug use must be rejected at any time. If a drug-addicted artist is reformed and re-becomes a person, he can change his career to do something else, and no one will stop him from working hard to get rich. But to continue to take on the role of public figure, no. It is not a question of insufficient social tolerance. We allow public figures to be famous, make money, and live a glamorous life, but equally, public figures must also assume social responsibilities commensurate with their influence, and this requirement is stricter than that of ordinary people. Once the line is crossed, it will bear serious consequences and pay the due price.
Song Dongye finally asked a question: Will this world be good? Uncle Shima feels that disease-free groaning and persecution paranoia will not make the world better, and what really makes the world better are the anti-drug fighters who stare at drugs all the time and fight with drug dealers.
Therefore, Song Dongye, I am aggrieved. Taking responsibility for your own actions, such a simple truth, adults should understand.
