Legendary hacker Assange was arrested last month and saw the verdict a while ago. He was temporarily imprisoned for 50 weeks. He was reminded of Edward Snowden, who was also a "leaker" with him. I checked that Snowden should still be in Russia, and it is said that political asylum has been extended to 2020. I watched Snowden documentaries and biopics at the beginning of the year. The documentary "The Fourth Citizen" was edited from a real video of Snowden's exposure of the "Prism" global surveillance program. "Snowden" is a biopic starring Jon Joseph. But as Snowden himself commented, after watching this biopic, I can feel more deeply what he did, what emotion was in it, why it was important, and what it meant. It's completely different from watching news reports and documentaries. Regarding Assange and Snowden, there are various comments. Some say they are heroes, some say they are traitors, some say they have no professional ethics, some say they are stupid. . It's amazing, I fully understand and agree with each statement, but I prefer to describe it as an idealistic martyr.
The Legalist Han Feizi once said, "Confucianism violates the law with literature, and chivalry violates prohibition with martial arts." A chivalrous person is a unique cultural symbol in our country, a person who has a violent conflict between social order and personal value pursuit. To some extent, he is somewhat similar to them. . Even if they are not supported, they will be remembered, just like today we still miss Jing Ke, not because he is a successful and righteous assassin, but because of his loneliness by the Yishui River.
(ps: Snowden himself is more handsome than Joseph, shocked)
