Western philosopher goes: Books are the ladder of human progress, these words the emperor that he would not agree to the elderly, including future generations are generations of emperors would not agree, in their view, more like a burning books for heating the material. The endless campaign to burn books two days before a small waves again, this time in South China University of the school gate, 20 experts and professors to 560 pirated books and books of their choice in a large iron waste barrels were burned, within minutes, these books on the ashes, the trend of global warming made the last contribution.
According to the planners of this event that he has always advocated "spiritual rich," and so, while advocating "spiritual rich" First we must clear the "spiritual garbage" began. Pirated books, "Fake Book" and "misleading the book" The flood, on the hearts of readers, especially young people caused great poison. "These books will pollute the mind, more harmful than drugs, waste oil more." Burn the book is to alert the public community, so that more people into action, to "spiritual garbage" declaration of war.
The idea of such a Wangren not a miracle, in this world there are many who feel that their thinking is extremely correct, other people think and want nothing more than junk, and how to identify spam is his own patent. This act was placed in the year, then once the person is entitled, delete the book, burn books naturally inevitable, but in modern society, it is estimated can only do this at their own expense burn books fetched farce, and could not pay him any heed.
This thing people marvel is, not burn out such a book to lead Wang Ren, but now after this Wangren the 20 experts and professors. Book burnings scholars considered the normal flow of ancient, modern and performance art community news, was so that the book burnings in ancient times because this has always been to provide books by the scholars, non-reading the book can not burn too. Although the Yuan is not a good deal of intellectuals, but there is no literary inquisition, mainly those in power of the mind have to put up a kitchen knife, scholars have ignored no one thought to the informant, burning books, the same pit. Other dynasties are not so lucky.
And to modern society, which naturally became a kind of performance art. Because in modern society for things like books generally have a consensus, according to the words here called the "hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools contend," West said, "is for the well-being of mixed origin polymorphism", we all know, this world could really do not have the so-called absolute truth, the best case than we can have a seat to survive. There are some things even the obvious garbage, but you can criticize the social values, can not say that the sound from this let it disappear, but also the spirit that can be beaten, can not be physically eliminated.
To say that 20 experts and professors continue the legacy of the ancients, should not be praised their behavior was wrong. This so-called "declaration of war" and its object is really just in their mind Fake Book, What book misleading? I think this is the thinking of itself more like a declaration of war, the object is human, after years of development before it built up tolerance for the ideas. Thought it was weird, although with numerous dross, but even if intended to eliminate so-called "dross" when the injury is the ideological atmosphere. Moreover, no individual has the power to declare what is dross.
The focus of this thing is supposed to understand this principle and to defend this idea of experts, professors, and they read like some ancient, like a burn books as the vanguard of this atavism which appear in this group, people on the process of civilization, the number of us feel some anxiety. For now, even among academics, that legacy of outstanding state or frequent seizures.
So, Every time I see the same kind of atavistic madness when, than the sight of a Red Guard burn books to help people feel more chilling.
