If the country that is hostile to our country disappears instantly, then our country can elect a new hostile country from the remaining foreign countries;
When all foreign countries disappear, then our country can be condensed into our province;
When all other provinces disappear, then our province can be condensed into our city;
When all other cities disappear, then our city can be condensed into our district;
When all the outer areas disappear, then my area can be condensed into my home;
When all the neighbors disappear, then I will start a real contest with the man and the woman in the family.
———— The descriptions in "Congo" and "Memoirs of Fairbank" have deeply inspired my ideas about international politics and history.
There is such a paragraph in the memoirs. The background is that Fairbank has lived in China for many years as a role similar to a think tank and made many friends from all walks of life. Then he commented on the "China experts" who provided information and advice for the government's decision-making in Washington—roughly, many people in Washington provided assistance to the government's decision-making in China, but they had never been to China or even knew any China. People only rely on the analysis of telegrams to come to their own conclusions, and these people are called "China Experts"-foreign experts who understand China.
Regarding the history of the Congo, this is the prelude to the first foreign explorer who broke into the Congo. The slaves of the tribe are usually captured after defeating other tribes. Of course, most of the enemies will be killed and they have guns. Of Westerners will obviously kill them more easily.
As mentioned above, I have this picture in my mind. In international politics, the region before being conquered by more violent civilizations is not a peaceful one. From Africa to Latin America to North American Indians, the region is full of blood and cruelty. The murderous conquest and the redistribution of interests-no matter which tribe or country it is, it still obeys the logic of the more violent exploiting the losers. Most people’s naive conception of international politics is nothing more than a sweater knitted by a message read by the announcer on a speaker with certain power and resources. Usually, the outside of this sweater is embroidered with "ethics and morality". "Justice", the lining label says "Fantasy" and "Cannot be washed".
At this time, I thought, why Lu Xun would abandon medicine and go to literature? Maybe the world is changing, multi-language, various cultures, but everyone has a common sense of fatalism-a pig knife in hand, kill everything-the strong is The King’s Justice-can also be translated more popularly: We all love to be the coolest robbers-doctors can only cure robbers, but words can turn robbers into chefs-we are afraid of robbers with knives and look forward to chefs with knives , But I still want to be a robber.
When the "memorial" appeared at the end of the film, I-the person who cried every time I saw Schindler's list in the university dormitory-felt hypocritical. When no amount of memorials can keep up with the speed of the massacre, I am afraid that There is the fate and tragedy of a split personality robber who wants to be a policeman.
