black myth: wukong has been on sale for almost a month, and those who have made quick progress have witnessed the controversial outcome of this "new version of the myth". the issue of "how many demon girlfriends does sun wukong have" that was once at the center of controversy more than 20 years ago has been brought up again, and the reputation of liu xiao ling tong has changed dramatically in just over ten days. the dispute between the "new version party" and the "original version party" of journey to the west has become inextricable.

at the same time, a group of people jumped out and regarded the adaptation of "journey to the west" in "black myth: wukong" as a "slander and destruction" of "journey to the west" and even traditional culture. they also boycotted "black myth: wukong" and took advantage of the situation to spread the fire to old works such as "a chinese odyssey".

open the b station weibo at random, as long as it is a video "blasting the black myth", even if it comes from a previously unknown up host, the number of views can easily reach hundreds of thousands or even higher. the so-called "monkey criticism" and "various criticism" in the comment area are fighting fiercely, and violent words are frequently used to win. logically speaking, the current state of the internet, which is in a mess, should be worth writing about. if you can take advantage of this wave of popularity, the number of readers will definitely not be low.

unfortunately, i am a timid person and i dare not provoke such a grand narrative as controversial traditional culture, so i don’t plan to talk about it in detail today. what i want to talk about is actually the most successfully created character in "black myth: wukong" - huang mei.

not to mention the debate between huang mei and jin chanzi about the "theory of human nature being evil" and "theory of human nature being good" in the shadow god picture, nor huang mei's angry behavior towards jin chanzi's three disciples and one horse who created the idea of ​​"not being empty, not being pure, not being white", just the fact that he "insists on himself and doesn't forget his original intention" has elevated the realm of the entire character - from beginning to end, huang mei in the game has been practicing his creed in the ending animation "fart" of the third chapter, which is "to cause chaos to people's hearts and confuse the cause with the effect".

at the end of the second stage of the battle with huang mei's boss, in order to induce tian ming ren to make the decision of "taking up the butcher knife, even the devil can become a buddha", and thus prove his point of view that "no killing, endless hatred", huang mei deprived tian ming ren of his mobility, turning him into a slow-moving, clumsy red-butt monkey, and placed three thousand disciples who were "allowed to be killed" on the one-way street that he had to pass through, and attacked tian ming ren with his fangs and claws.

as the man of destiny swung his butcher knife, huang mei laughed loudly, and his argument came to an abrupt end. as for "why did the man of destiny swung his butcher knife" and "where did the villagers' greed for sharing the giant turtle come from", those were things huang mei would never talk about - just like you can't survey the success rate of passengers buying tickets on a train. if you enter with the answer, the answer will become the reason for the result.

as for his theories, such as "heaven kills people, earth kills people" and "if you can't win, what's the point of proving the cause and effect and human nature", they are nonsense that cannot withstand careful scrutiny - in terms of debate level, he even lost to his own apprentice bu ke. he could only tie the opponent's hands and let him "enlighten" by himself. as a result, bu ke was not convinced until the man destined by heaven came to the mountain gate to kill him.

but for huang mei, it doesn't matter. after all, he has "won". those who believe in huang mei's fallacy and are entangled in the superficial wins and losses will not delve into the causes behind the phenomenon. huang mei's undefeated golden body is thus forged.

this trick of "shooting the arrow first and then drawing the target + sophistry + double standards" has been used throughout history. even today, this kind of misleading lies still have a wide audience - li yang, who founded crazy english and became famous by beating his wife, is an outstanding representative of this kind of "yellow eyebrow" in the world.

in a live broadcast on august 25, li yang expressed his views on "social responsibility" with an attitude of concern for the country and the people - he said that there are several industries in china today that he would rather lay off tens of millions of people than not want to get rid of them.

one is takeaway food. it produces too much garbage, creates “a billion plastic bags” of pollution every day, and makes young people lazy and unable to cook for themselves, so it must be banned.

the second is e-commerce. he said that chinese e-commerce has produced too many low-quality goods and "150 billion packages", which has completely polluted china's environment and made china "the country that contributes more to pollution than any other country". as a "patriot with a sense of social responsibility", he does not want china to become "the world's largest source of pollution", so e-commerce express delivery must be cancelled and the old days when transportation was slow and the sky was blue must be returned.

the third is video games. li yang has a deep hatred for video games. as early as 2011, he expressed his hatred for video games in an interview with a reporter. he said that this "spiritual drug" that "destroys the happiness of 300 million families and shakes the foundation of the country" must be destroyed in a new era of humen opium burning - he planned to climb the great wall and burn hundreds of game consoles at the beginning of the school year.

you see, he doesn’t care about “environmental pollution” anymore.

the explosion of black myth: wukong this year has once again ignited li yang's anger. this time, his words are more intense than before - he bluntly said that the success of wukong has left so many people "idle" and lying down to pay attention to games, which reflects the sadness of the nation. games do not distinguish between good and bad, and will prevent children from even being "normal people who do not pollute the environment and do not persecute others."

although these statements are made from the perspective of so-called concern for the country and the people, any discerning person can see that these are all empty talk and self-defeating lies - the popularity of takeout is only the result that young people have no time to cook, rather than the cause of young people becoming lazy; logistics and e-commerce have never made china the "world's largest source of pollution", on the contrary, the centralized transportation of the e-commerce model can reduce scattered shopping trips, thereby reducing overall carbon emissions.

if you are not poor and busy, who would want to eat chinese takeout?

as for the theory that video games are "spiritual opium", it is even more of an old story that has been talked about too much. in any entertainment activity, there are always people with self-control who are addicted to it. from pop music, movies and television, to sports and martial arts novels, there are talented people in every generation, and video games have been the primary scapegoat in the past decade or so - from causing violence to inducing lying down, from vision loss to neglecting academic studies, there is nothing that video games cannot blame.

most of these people who criticize games have never played the game, done any research, and are even unwilling to check the data. they just start making up stories - in the famous "electronic heroin" article, the author claimed that he had mastered "heroes of might and magic" and "starcraft" overnight, swept through black internet cafes, and even arranged a line for the internet cafe owners: "kids who play games, the boys all become thieves, and the girls all become prostitutes."

li yang is no exception. the evidence he used to support the "game opium theory" was that his "wife's ex-husband's son" was ruined by games, and he wanted to be "the top three in qufu game machines" and be able to play for ten hours in one position. there was no argument or investigation, he just spoke without thinking, that's all.

even if we take a step back and accept that what they said, "addiction to games will lead to bad children", is true, and then trace the root cause and try to find the deep-seated reasons behind "game addiction", these people will fall silent again - in their eyes, there is no failure in their own education, nor are they aware of the stubborn conservatism of their own ideas. they just blindly believe that as long as electronic games are banned, young people will naturally return to reality, family relationships will be harmonious and friendly, and the lying generation will automatically stand up.

just as li yang said in this live broadcast - "as long as games and drug trafficking are the same crime, everyone will be happy."

so why did li yang oppose games, e-commerce, and food delivery? was it because he simply hated these things, or was he so stupid that he didn't even realize that what he said was nonsense?

of course not. just as huang mei's actions were not an end but a means, li yang opposed the above things just to promote his "correctness" from the perspective of so-called "national justice" and gain recognition from the audience - yes, it is 2024, and there are still many people who buy into this. in the comment sections of short video platforms such as xigua video, voices supporting li yang are rampant.

when his views resonated with these "supporters", they stood on the united front of "patriotism and anti-gaming". the two sides had a bond of stance, and li yang could take the opportunity to promote his old business - crazy english.

that’s right, after talking about the truth for so long, li yang still wants to sell courses - click on the avatar, click on the customer service, and chat privately "my child needs to improve his grades." if you have children who need to improve their grades, don’t forget to call 888, and your child will go from a poor student to a top student in one month.

unfortunately, i missed teacher li’s live broadcast and was unable to watch 888 in the live broadcast room. i could only get a glimpse of crazy english from li yang’s future plans for china’s education sector.

li yang said that he must become the minister of education. once he becomes the minister of education, he will carry out several major reforms. within half a year after the reforms are completed, china's education will surely become the best in the world.

the first is to set up a committee, invite experts from more than 20 countries around the world to serve as consultants, and then appoint a french deputy minister, a german deputy minister, and an american deputy minister to work together to make chinese education the best in the world.

the second is to lay off all the security guards and cafeteria ladies in chinese schools, and at the same time turn the security guards into indians, and turn the cafeteria ladies into bangladeshis or sri lankans. this will not only create millions of jobs for the world, but also provide chinese children with an all-english language environment, which is a win-win situation. as for the security guards and cafeteria ladies who lost their jobs, they are not within li yang's consideration.

the third is to import a large number of americans, especially those with high education and high skills, to serve as foreign teachers in all schools to create an international environment.

this is a triangular trade.

the vision of the tomb school is far-sighted. unfortunately, mr. li made all the calculations, but missed one point: a person who treats beating his wife as a joke after dinner and brushes off domestic violence as "cultural conflict between china and foreign countries" will never be able to pass the civil service exam. not to mention the minister of education, he can't even get a teaching position.

when crazy english declined and the education and training industry was rectified, li yang himself ended up being embroiled in scandals and his family was separated. li yang, who was once so successful that he performed in various middle schools and made countless students bow down to him, could only curl up in his own small world of being black and famous and pretending to be crazy, relying on outrageous remarks and riding on the popularity to prove that he had not been forgotten.

this is not a national tragedy, but li yang's personal tragedy.
