Is there any problem in China?

Yes, and many more!

In the late 1980s, there was a book called "China on the Cold", which specifically discussed the problems facing China and raised some problems in the future. For example, the author said that China's agricultural output will decline, environmental problems are major problems in the future, and one-sided pursuit of GNP effect may not necessarily be the best, etc.

The key is that the author speaks with facts and data, pointing out all the problems that are happening and about to happen in China. Even the young 50 cents who are so red cannot refute it. Many people who read that book back then said: "After reading it, I am completely desperate. Is there any savings in China with so many questions?"

Some of the spaces in "China on the Cold" can be directly changed even in the 21st century, because China has never solved those problems perfectly.

This is the correct way to ask questions. We are not prohibiting saying that China is bad, but making you make sense and convinced.

The opposite nationalists are not the case. They will only say that China is rotten, this is rotten, that is rotten, and foreign countries are good. Even if it extends to physiological characteristics, foreign men have larger jjs and stronger bodies, and their genes are better!

This argument was in the mid-1990s. As the country became more and more open, the Chinese people's horizons became wider and wider. It gradually aroused the rebellious psychology of countless people. Is it that bad? Is the country that bad? mmp!

The most important thing is that in 1995, China's economy suddenly developed rapidly, the high inflation rate over the years was suppressed, and national laws were constantly being improved. People's lives were getting better and better, and more money was in their pockets. Except for laid-off workers and farmers, everyone's life and career were in an upward period.

At this time, Western countries continued to impose sanctions on China's development. Domestic reverse nationalists not only criticized themselves, but also invaded wildly by foreign-funded enterprises and Western dregs.

It's so frustrating!

People are accumulating a sense of resentment in their hearts and want to vent, and "China Can Say Not" is a vent.

There are many jokes in this book. Whether it is fabricated or not, readers can find realistic prototypes around them. For example, Chinese employees working in foreign companies also use English to discuss business with Chinese people. After answering Chinese, a few English words pop up from time to time. In fact, this guy has never been abroad. For example, a third-rate singer from Hong Kong and Taiwan came to Shanghai, and just because he was promoted to have Western ancestry, he could attract tens of thousands of young men and women to buy tickets. For example, when Fei Xiang was very popular, because he was so handsome, two young women fought to argue whether Fei Xiang's eyes were gray or blue, and it should not be black anyway.

Such a writing style is too down-to-earth and can easily arouse anger among Chinese people. How could it be unselling?

When Song Weiyang got this book, his first reaction was: Is this pirated version? It’s printed like shit.

I can still find typos, and I guess the proofreading work is just random. The cover is also nonsense, the background pattern is the Great Wall, and the head of the Statue of Liberty is placed on the neck of the American soldier, with a black tone. Such an artist should be fired.

In fact, the difference between the two books can be seen through the lines on the title page.

Song Weiyang's "The Future of China": "A truly great nation will never bother to play a secondary role among human beings, or even to play a top-ranking role, but must play a unique role. If a nation loses this belief, it will no longer be a nation."

"China Can Say No": "No one can lead the United States, the United States can only lead itself. No one can lead Japan, and sometimes Japan cannot even lead itself. No one wants to lead China, China only wants to lead itself."

The former is to regain national self-esteem and confidence, while the latter is full of anger: You, don’t take care of me, it’s hard for you to manage yourself, and the Chinese can make decisions for yourself!

Some of the contents in the two books are similar, but Song Weiyang likes to speak with facts, data and theory. Over the past year, he has read many foreign journals, checked many domestic and foreign information, and asked Professor Lin Nan to help him check certain American documents. Another book likes to make jokes, brag about it, and write it without any logic.

Song Weiyang always maintained rationality in the book, analyzing the shortcomings and advantages of China and the Western world. In another book, he only saw the bad side of Western countries, and even said: "All liberation movements in the world are bathed in the sunshine of Chinese thought. All peace and progress in the world are all due to the merits of China."

Bragging, nonsense!

Reverse nationalists pursue double standards, while extreme nationalists also engage in double standards. They say that the history of the United States is too short, so it is superficial and ignorant without foundation; they also say that the new China is only 40 years old, young and full of vitality. So is it better to have a longer history or a shorter one?

The reporter went to interview many well-known writers and asked them to evaluate these two books.

Wang Shuo sneered, as if no one looked down on him.

Wang Xiaobo probably said for the sake of netizens: "The Future Belongs to China" makes people think, and "China Can Say No" makes people angry. Of course, this is for the public readers. "China Can Say No" can only make me unable to read it. It lacks basic logic, just like a child's whisper."

The reporter only intercepted the first half and then posted a message saying: "Mr. Wang Xiaobo, a famous artist, evaluated the two most popular nationalist books in China at present. He said that "The Future Is China" makes people think, and "China Can Say Not" makes people angry..."

Before the Spring Festival, "China Can Say Not" sold 2 million copies, and the pirated version was several times that of the genuine version. 400,000 copies were seized in Jiangcheng alone. At this time, Song Weiyang's "The Future of China" only sold 1.2 million copies, which shows that anger is often more popular than rationality.

The two books were listed for less than 20 days and attracted widespread attention from foreign media.

First, Asia Weekly sent reporters to interview, then the Wall Street Post, then the New York Times, the Times, and the Yomiuri Shimbun...

Foreign media almost all criticized "China Can Say Not". The title of the New York Times even "The Chinese Rebels of the Past Found New Reasons". Regarding Song Weiyang's book, the New York Times' evaluation of "insensationalism and blind arrogance" and directly ignored the American social issues raised by Song Weiyang.

Foreign booksellers began to have a carnival. In the next six months, publishers from more than a dozen countries found Song Weiyang and asked to purchase copyrights and translate and publish them.

Historically, "China Can Say Not" can be translated into eight languages, and 100,000 copies were sold in Japanese benzene alone.

The senior executives did not pay attention to it, but they could not stand the conversion of exports to domestic sales. These two books attracted global attention, and the emergence of extreme nationalism in China made foreign-funded enterprises in China feel a little nervous. After going around in circles, they became internal references and organized scholars to discuss and study the contents of the book.

As for the research results, it is a joke that some social issues in "China Can Say No" are worth paying attention to, but the value of this book is probably to put it in the toilet and wipe your butt.

As for Song Weiyang's "The Future of Belongs to China", it has given rise to many high-quality social science papers on energy, environment, education, trade, industry, diplomacy, the Internet and other contents.

"China on the Cold" a few years ago raised many very practical social problems. Although this book was banned, its author was transferred to the CUHK Philosophy of Science for research, and was also absorbed into the China Future Research Association as a researcher, and also created a "Chinese Problemology Science".
