Whose interests come first? ——Comment on "The Secret of the School Chorus" For every Chinese citizen who has memorized the core socialist values, there is a sentence that almost everyone has heard. "The collective interest is higher than the individual interest. When the individual interest contradicts the collective interest, everything is based on the collective interest." "People should realize the value of life in devotion", etc. Yes, this is the collective consciousness that the party and the state have instilled in us since childhood. Human values can only be realized in the collective. If we leave the collective, the value of human beings is nothing. Is there a problem with this sentence? no. Everyone knows that "everything is the big picture", this is a warning left by our ancestors, which cannot be refuted by us. Therefore, the Chinese nation's tradition of pursuing commonality and sacrificing individuality has a long history. This habit has been integrated into the flesh and blood and has become our first choice without hesitation. Under such a big background, when we watch such a short film again, we will be surprised to find that we can't help but agree with the teacher's actions in the film. That is to say, I don't think there is anything wrong, but I feel that it is commonplace and normal. This is what scares me the most. Whose values are wrong? The heroine in the film joined the school choir. As the competition approached, she was forbidden to sing aloud because of her inaccurate pronunciation. She could only open her mouth to lip-synch. Her friend learned about this, and after careful observation, it was found that there were actually many people in the choir who could only open their mouths and not make a sound. The friend thought this was unfair, so they conspired with the heroine to "revenge" the teacher... I think you should be able to guess what method they used to "revenge", yes, in the real chorus competition, there is no such thing as A person sings and sings, all lip-synching, thus silent protest. The film ends with the chorus of all the students. The fusion of all the voices may not be as beautiful as the arrangement, but it is extremely moving. We don't know if they won the award in the end, but everyone's personalities were expressed to the extreme at that moment. Chorus should be everyone's contribution, why give up individuals for the pursuit of perfection? There's always something wrong with just thinking that way. From childhood to adulthood, everyone said that the collective interest should be the priority, but why are everyone in the film willing to give up the collective interest and the opportunity to compete in Switzerland in order to realize the interests of the other few? So it's the teacher's fault, isn't it? But she went to Switzerland so that everyone could win the competition, and so that the parents would not be saddened by the students dropping out of the choir because of insufficiency, she used a "white lie" (yes, in our educational thinking, this is goodwill) Is it wrong to hide the truth from others and protect the dignity of students? But why did such a seemingly contradictory film win the Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film in 2016? Or is it because it implies some deeper truth? In fact, it is not a simple film discussing who is right and who is wrong at all, but a sound of thunder and a slap in the face, making us bow our heads and reconsider our current ideological education. Is the collective interest really that important and is higher than the interests of all individuals. When faced with conflicts of interest, are we really powerless? Seeing that the interests that belong to him are being crushed, still shouting "Long live the collective"? That's right, "collective interests always trump individual interests" is a statute written into the constitution. We are powerless to shake the law, but we can shake our hearts, and let us think seriously after the aftershocks, whose interests should come first. I think, if one day we can't even protect our own interests, then who will consider the illusory interests of the collective?
