The power of tradition

Watching this film reminds me of countless revolutionary martyrs in modern history. China and India have the same profound traditions, but when faced with suffering, India and China have different choices. China's resistance is fierce, while India's resistance is submissive. Of course, I am not saying that all Chinese people resist fiercely. On the contrary, there are quite a lot of Chinese people who are similar to Indians. Everyone is just ordinary people. Then I think the difference may be mainly in the intellectuals of the two countries. Chinese intellectuals are deeply influenced by Confucian traditions. They are all responsible for the rise and fall of the country, so they always want to stand up and change something, regardless of whether the change may be good or bad. But after all, I can’t just watch the country just decay day by day. Indian intellectuals do not seem to have such a strong sense of mission. Although they can also be aware of some of the problems of the country and the nation, few people can really put it into action, so Indian traditions have been preserved to a considerable extent.

I am mainly talking about the caste system in India. It seems difficult to solve the caste system in India. In contrast, the intensity of China’s solution to tradition makes me full of respect for our predecessors. Cut your braids and put your feet on the traditional decisiveness that Indians cannot imagine. There is fierce confrontation here, and it is not uncommon at the cost of life. In contrast, Indians lack this blood. Although we sometimes go too fiercely, go too fiercely, destroying many things that should not be destroyed, but without this spirit, the tradition will never be broken, and we will still see small feet. Child bride and so on. In the words of dialectics, we can argue that everything has its good side. The caste system also has its advantages, and it also has its feet. The primitive people’s hairy diet is also good for health. However, at this point in life, we must choose and abandon the tradition. The resistance everyone encountered was equally huge, how Tan Sitong died, and how Huang Huagang failed. In this sense, the common people are the same, and only intellectuals are the soul of a country. In the face of pressure, most intellectuals in any country are equally silent in most cases, but there will always be a group of bloody intellectuals in China who will stand up, in the words of Chairman Mao: They are the backbone of China.
