After my rebirth, I became the son-in-law of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary

The conference hall suddenly fell into silence.

Xue Chuqing was totally unprepared when her name was suddenly called. She could not help but feel annoyed and embarrassed when she felt the gazes from the people around her. She thought to herself, "You, Zhou, just talk, why are you bringing me up? I have nothing to do with this matter... well, it is indeed related!"

If she hadn't mentioned this to Gu Qitan, Gu Qitan wouldn't have asked the question today. And without the question, Zhou Yi wouldn't have been able to involve her.

So, every cause has its effect...

Yao Caizhi, Dong Qing, Zheng Hua and Pingfan looked at Zhou Yi with complicated emotions in their eyes.

He has literary accomplishment, deep thinking, clear logic, and sharp words... No wonder he is a director-level official at such a young age, he is really a man of many talents!

At the same time, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Yi's reaction was indeed to "distinguish right from wrong by reasoning", and such a discussion atmosphere, how should they put it, was not that bad!

Gu Qitan was silent for a few seconds, and then spoke again: "Secretary Zhou, I still feel that you have a certain bias against this book. Since the book describes the facts, we must respect the facts and face the facts. As for your evaluation of the author's writing intentions and motives, it is your personal judgment..."

Zhou Yi said calmly, "You still don't understand what I said! Facts do need to be respected and faced squarely. I have never denied anything. For example, Wen Mosheng, as a literary and artistic worker, was expelled from the party and removed from office for moral corruption. This is a fact that needs to be faced squarely. He should be criticized and blamed, but I ask you, can you conclude that this is a common fact among literary and artistic workers throughout Jiangnan, or even the whole country?"

Gu Qitan was stumped by the question.

Yes, he knew that the other party's words were a replica of what Zhou Yi said to Xue Chuqing at that time, 'When you find a literary student, there are actually many unscrupulous people with bad conduct like this in the literary and artistic circles!'

But he was still speechless, because he couldn't! And he didn't dare!

"If you think the 'for example' just now doesn't make sense, then what's the logic behind this book's in-depth depiction of the suffering and backwardness of past times and its ambiguous glorification of the invaders in order to satirize the problems existing in today's society? What are the motives and intentions?" Zhou Yi continued to ask.

Gu Qitan was still speechless.

"We all know that when a work is created, or even planned to be created, it already carries the author's subjective tendencies in thought and attitude. What I want to praise, what I want to satirize, what I want to expose, and through these, what I ultimately want to express... all permeates and flows between the lines, and cannot be hidden even if I want to."

"So, when some people are criticizing, it is not difficult to tell whether they are really doing it for the good of the country or whether they just want to see the country do better!"

"Finally, I can clearly answer your first question. Some people are morally corrupt, not morally flawed. Using the word 'great' to describe his work is an insult to the word 'great'. I'll stop here for now. Thank you for your question." Zhou Yi said calmly.

clap clap clap...

First, Yao Caizhi, Dong Qing and others took the lead in applauding, and then the entire conference room burst into warm applause again.

Compared with the previous perfunctory attitude, the applause from the representatives this time was more sincere.

Those who share the same values ​​naturally feel that Zhou Yi's words are very much in line with my heart;

Those with incorrect values ​​will sneer at him, thinking that as a leading cadre, Zhou Yi must follow his lead and speak from an official perspective.

But these people have forgotten that many of them are clearly eating the country's food, but are doing things that are destroying the country's pot!

Zhou Yi has always been a staunch patriot in his past and present lives.

He never felt that admitting that he was patriotic was something he was embarrassed to express.

Every normal Chinese citizen hopes that his country will get better and better, and his life will get better and better. He can look at the shortcomings and deficiencies of his country with a rational and objective attitude, and will never use sarcastic words to belittle his country!

A common phenomenon in the comment section is that whenever a country achieves success, a bunch of big-breeders will appear below, either mocking the achievement for being far behind their foreign fathers, or using the classic line "Will it affect my monthly salary of 3,000 yuan?"

If there is any negative news, the big germs will flock to it and mock and abuse it.

But if you change the scene of the above incident to a foreign country, it will be a different style. What is "This is the true light of humanity!" "This is the great progress that benefits all mankind!" "Why are they so happy?" "I envy them for not having a mortgage!" "Open your eyes and look at the world. Don't you reflect on yourself?"

Even if there are massive casualties and 'zombies' roaming the streets, these big-breeders and public intellectuals will be very understanding and say that the good outweighs the bad, and they will repeatedly explain and emphasize that we should look at other people's strengths in other aspects and not always focus on their shortcomings.

Yes, when looking at foreign countries, people focus on their strengths and praise them fervently, and when looking at domestic countries, people focus on their weaknesses and criticize them fervently. Isn’t that despicable?

Why do we love our country? It is because the country has created a safe and stable environment and superior and convenient living conditions for everyone. It is because as a member of the country, we have a natural sense of belonging and identity.

So, why do the big germs love their foreign fathers? Or, what do the foreign fathers give these big germs?

Free and sweet air? Or cheap and delicious donuts?

Some people have been kneeling for too long and cannot stand up, while some people, not only kneel themselves but also drag others to kneel with them.

There are also some people who package themselves as the contemporary Zhou Shuren, and act like "everyone else is drunk but I am sober" all day long. They either reflect on this or that, but never on themselves. It seems that they are the smartest and most thoughtful people in the country, and everyone else is a fool.

Not to mention, they are indeed very smart. They know that by spreading so-called universal values ​​and stirring up confrontational emotions and attracting some Paramecium as their supporters, they can easily gain fame and fortune and make a fortune.

Don't ever think that those public intellectuals have nothing better to do, or that they are truly compassionate. The big germs may be working for nothing, but the public intellectuals will definitely not end up playing for nothing!

For example, Wen Mosheng, why did he still insist on publishing articles after being expelled from the party and removed from office? Of course, it was because he was fearless at the moment, and it was profitable - there was a huge fee for writing!
