Cai Lan is accused of being a “hypocrite”. Don’t let the pursuit of popularity undermine one’s conscience!
Shi Guoliang is everywhere. Nie Shengzhe cursed people randomly to promote products. Feng Tang not only soldproducts by promoting inspirational quotes, but after just a few days of learning, he even started selling calligraphy, tarnishing the art of calligraphy. What’s worse, even before Cai Lan’s seventh-day mourning ceremony was over, she used the term “hypocrite” to exploitthe deceased to attract attention, and she usually despised Huang Yongyu’s attitude towards life. Such an act of eating blood-soaked steamed buns is even more despicable than the flowery hype.
Cai Lan’s talent was never merely superficial “eating, drinking, playing and having fun”. He was a driving force behind Shaw Brothers films in the Asian film industry, having produced countless classics. He was also the chief advisor for “A Bite of China”, deeply involved in the study of food culture. Moreover, he was the “truly carefree person” in Jin Yong’s works, integrating calligraphy, seal engraving and travel into the art of life. Huang Yongyu was the same, as a self-taught master of the art world, he said that”as long as one smiles, there is no defeat” fully expresses the broad-mindedness of life. This summed up his life’s philosophy of optimism. His art and philosophy of life cannot be casually distorted by the network traffic clown.
In the era of massive traffic, there is an even greater need for a bottom line. Attract attention by taking advantage of the deceased, and misinterpret classics to gain popularity. They may seem to gain traffic, but in reality, they have lost the essence of being a person. Cai Lan and Huang Yongyu proved throughout their lives that true cultural integrity lies not in seeking attention through sensationalism, but in showing reverence for life and maintaining professionalism. Don’t let the pursuit of traffic undermine one’s conscience. Some “blood-soaked steamed buns” should not be eaten! After all, when an elder passes away quietly, what we should remember more is the openness and warmth he left behind in this world, rather than using the noise to exhaust the last respect.
