Before that, let me give you a quote. I once heard a contemporary installation artist say this: "History is always tampered with in a certain form." Naturally, this tampered history may be tampered with in a certain way. It is used by those in power, either to distract the public's attention, or simply to embed a value system that suits them. Sometimes even professional historians make this mistake.
The impact of what happened in the past on the present is the significance of this history to the current society. And this kind of history has long been due to the reasons of those who recorded, and there must be some deviations from the original reality, more or less. Therefore, in today's society of a certain country, there are always different reports or interpretations of the same historical event, so that people who have not formed a complete world view cannot define what is true and what is false. Although it is concerned, it does not necessarily have any effect. Going with the flow or letting it go has become the main theme of this society.
Of course, the same thing must be interpreted differently from different angles, so history as a carrier of words must have its one-sidedness. This is inevitable. So it is necessary to make this a major premise.
In the world of 1984, the fabrication and tampering of history or, relatively speaking, current events have reached an outrageous level. I believe that the possibility of this world reaching that point is very low, and it should even be asserted that in recent decades. Such a totalitarian situation is impossible. A country's information blockade of the people can only do so now at best. At least citizens can go over the wall to understand the image of a certain country in the minds of other people or the media.
In the process, the lies will be partially corrected, and the supervision of the masses seems to have played a positive role in some areas (sports circles, etc.) at least for now.
In other fields, people are still being squeezed and exploited, and this method seems to be converging on the working people at the bottom in a domino effect. These people are miserable and hopeless, at least for now. Whether it is to obey or to oppose, the powerless people can only bear it silently, which eventually leads to the loss of part of the humanity of the individual and even the group.
Part of the loss of humanity is an ambiguous attitude towards the truth. A complete personality and humanity should be thirsty for the truth.
