Yu Xiansheng photography

To tell you the truth, I like Yu and his prose. Whether he was chewed up or he was widely questioned in the youth song competition, I still have a position in my mind, and words are supreme. As a writer, mistakes and mistakes are always inevitable, whether it is clerical errors or common sense. Besides, as an entertainment guest, it is common sense to be criticized, but as a writer, lying openly is unacceptable to me anyway.

It is said that in his new book What is Culture, Mr. Yu accused him of fabricating facts and framing himself in an old article. What is done is done, perhaps because Mr. Yu's book is so popular that it was printed into a book and put on the shelf before the public publication appeared. Don't say that an ordinary reader like me, that is, Mr. Yu himself, only knew Mr. Yu's response article at the prompt of others.

According to Mr Zhu Yong, what is culture is full of fallacies. Moreover, he found two strong evidences from the pile of old papers: one was that Chen Yifei drew an illustration of a secret library during the Cultural Revolution, and the other was that he published an article about Hu Shi's Water Margin in Learning and Criticism controlled by the Gang of Four. Because the photo is incomplete, the first few words can't be seen, but it doesn't affect the overall situation. If Mr. Yu wrote any articles during the Cultural Revolution, you will know that this publication was sponsored by the Gang of Four. Unfortunately, from the point of view of what is culture, these are completely denied by Mr. Yu.

In this era when everything can be faked, although a photo can't explain anything, I think these magazines can still be found in some big libraries. Mr Zhu Yong would never forge a ridiculous photo for writing a paper! Then, why did Mr. Yu bring up the old story in his new book and openly deny that he was framed, although he said in his article that "anyone who is framed as a' fabrication' will not be happy, but he is happy". But this exultation is somewhat artificial.

Not long ago, I wandered around the "paper city-state" and saw the book "What is culture". I picked it up, rummaged it, and then put it down again. The reason why I don't buy it is because it gives people a sense of preaching compared with Mr. Yu's previous books. Interestingly, I finally chose a book, China on the Tip of the Tongue. I dare not say anything else, because I haven't read it carefully, but if Mr. Zhu really thinks that he is "fabricating", then Yu Xiansheng is shooting himself in the foot.

For those experiences during the Cultural Revolution, some parties have repented in the public media, and some people rarely mention the past because the parties have become old friends. As for the living, as Mr. Zhu said, it is forbidden to mention it. In a special period, the good in human nature is always threatened by the evil in society, but in fact, it cannot be completely attributed to the parties themselves. So you don't have to say anything or whitewash yourself.

Interestingly, Mr. Yu once again mentioned the pseudonym "Shi Yige" in What is Culture. As early as in The Debate (Yu and Yu Jie), it almost became another pseudonym of Mr. Yu. It seems that Mr. Wang still has reservations. I didn't deny myself, because this is a writing team.

Mr. Zhu Yong said that he didn't mean to have a hard time with Yu, but he not only obliterated his own history, but also made mistakes, just like the Japanese right wing denied its historical responsibility, which made people angry and funny. Therefore, he had to unmask the "master of culture" and publish all the articles published by Mr. Yu during the "Cultural Revolution".
