2084

It was the first time Ling Yan heard an elder praise him and recognize him that day.

In fact, for a long time, he, like many others, had doubts about his work and his abilities.He will also be confused, and will examine himself after a certain stage of victory, asking whether his choice is really right?After a certain failure, he will blame himself painfully, and blame himself for being useless.

Today, when individualism is prevalent, everyone is exquisitely egoistic, and he is no exception, but there is always a little flame in his heart, which makes him feel that he has a mission and responsibility, and reminds him constantly that since Holding the resources in his own hands, the infinite distance and infinite people are related to him.

"Actually, I'm not afraid of high-pressure work, I'm just afraid of the strong sense of meaninglessness, especially after participating in "Reading the World" and increasing the exposure, this feeling is particularly strong-this is hypocritical, but Auntie, I really feel that people don't seem to care what I do, what politics I have, what laws I promote, they don't judge me based on my work, there is no discussion, no controversy, they just keep praising me, but In this kind of praise, I can't find meaningful recognition, as if there is nothing in me worth discussing except for my appearance, life experience, and relationship status."

Everyone needs a mirror, and this mirror needs to give him feedback. No matter positive or negative information, it is valuable, so that he can straighten his clothes and know his gains and losses.

So when he found out that he didn't have this mirror, he began to question whether the whole society had been paralyzed by Utopia and rotted, and could no longer care about the serious external environment, but could only be immersed in vain In the topic, chasing illusory pleasure.

Xia Chuncao was not as negative as him, she jumped out and asked, "What about Lou Kun? What do people think of him?"

"Very few reviews."

Xia Chuncao didn't take it seriously, and said lightly, "Although I'm not in my district, I also follow you, but I didn't arrange analysts to do positive and negative statistics as simple and rude as you do. I went to your district's official website by myself. I read it myself——

She called up her own Utopia interface and pushed it to Ling Yan's terminal.

"Just like you said, there are too few discussions and comments on Lou Kun compared with yours, but what I see is that every one is serious: some people praise him, and the comments are sincere love for him, Counting his political achievements and saying how much his previous policies have brought about changes in their lives. Some people slander him, and the evaluation will insult him crazily, and even threaten his family and death. Some people calmly offer advice and suggestions. Reasons to support/disapprove his 3.0 urban plan with evidence, petitions, protests..."

Ling Yan lowered his head and looked at it carefully. There was not much content, only nearly 1 people participated, but like Xia Chuncao said, it was full of too many emotions, and part of it was discussing that "Reading the World" was just a public online. In the petitioning department, many issues were adjusted and placed online, but some institutional issues raised could not be resolved in just over an hour. Discuss social pain points such as social problems, forced renovation of old districts, and media development issues, and spontaneously divide into two teams to persuade and attack each other.

And these, one can see at a glance the achievements of the chief political officer of District XI, his ambition and ambition, toughness and hard work.

Xia Chuncao looked at him seriously, "These people didn't discuss Lou Kun's 'appearance, life experience, and relationship status'. They were all discussing serious topics, discussing Lou Kun's business ability, and discussing the policies and development in their district. Do you dare to exchange your one-sided, flirty praise for these passionate criticisms and naked personal threats?"

Praise and honor are the best hallucinogens in the world, and the most unhealthy evaluation ecology, but how many people are still stuck in the warm sea and unable to leave the port.

"There is a saying in the literary circle: Only good writers are worthy of good readers. The second evaluation criterion of 'good' is not the secular meaning, they are not those readers who are only chasing after a group of friends, they are the kind of serious 'readers' , willing to spend time for you, actively discuss with you, study all your efforts and achievements as texts, even write books and biography for you, and spread word of mouth-but all the premise is that if you are a good 'writer', It deserves a large number of good 'readers' to favor, and even turn 'bad' readers into 'good' readers—Ah Yan, are you afraid of being scolded?"

Ling Yan's family has been engaged in political activities for several generations, and he is used to seeing both good and bad, as well as strong winds and waves.

Hearing this, he just smiled lightly and asked, "Why are you afraid of being scolded?"

The roads and viaducts are intertwined, and the buildings are overwhelming.

The young man's instant certainty filled his whole being with pride.

Xia Chuncao's expression was calm, and she turned her eyes to the outside of the car, "You've been reading art history to understand me recently, and I've also looked at your performance in Congress recently - I'm actually quite curious, you have always been against the management committee before. Vanguard? Why did they suddenly become doves recently? Are they doing promotion for their [-]th anniversary?"

Ling Yan was stumped by this question.

This is really a very complicated issue. Maybe at the beginning, he was just because Tan Qing and Qi Hongshan were friends of Qi Siming. He had an affair and didn't want to make each other too stiff, so several bills to curb the expansion of the management committee were also put on hold. Afterwards, even though it was so obvious that Wen Juyue deceived the top and bottom, he didn't pursue it. Later, when Sophia's incident happened, he pinched the evidence of corruption in the management committee and some public officials in District VI, but because of various This kind of reason made him hold it up high, and put it down gently, thinking that the government personnel's self-examination and overhead of the management committee is also a way. His hands and feet were even tied... He used to have a posture that was incompatible with the management committee, but now he has developed a weakness, his actions are becoming more and more hesitant, he is hesitant, he dare not.

Seeing that Ling Yan didn't answer, Xia Chuncao started another topic, "The author of the photo just now is a very talented young man. I heard that a director of the management committee once recruited him, but he rejected it. About five years ago, he was injured in an accident, and he couldn’t continue to work for a while—you asked me why I didn’t praise artists, but the answer was actually when I asked him why he didn’t accept the olive branch from the management committee, his answer."

Ling Yan suddenly panicked for no reason.

Especially when he heard that the artist had an accident, his fingers trembled a few times unconsciously.

Xia Chuncao did not notice his abnormality, and continued, "I admire artists and scientists the most in my life, because they are creators and doers. One guides the development of the world and the other inspires human souls. They are both god-like professions, but Those who are really talented among these people can't get ahead, just like the reporter surnamed Su you admire-our era relies too much on Utopia, and it almost determines what you watch, listen to, and touch every day. The location is not bad, and they can see clearly, but for most people, their class and information sources have seriously affected their judgment, which can only keep them in a maze without knowing it."

"The photographer said, 'The mystery of God is not in the Bible, but in the priest.' Because the management committee is the middleman, they claim to be priests, conveying the decree of 'God' - so now leading the mainstream culture Yes, it seems to be those artists, museum curators, and actors, but the actual core is the management committee—if these people don’t make confessions to the management committee, who can get ahead?”

But wherever Utopia goes, it is dominated by the management committee everywhere, where it simply leads the culture.

Ling Yan opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "A middleman."

"Yes, the middleman."

Over the years, almost all high-level executives have begun to replace the management committee with "middlemen". They watch this original non-profit organization go public, develop, lobby politicians in the capital, lobby chaebols, walk among celebrities, and control the discourse Power, trying to please, even Westminster Palace said, "This is the era of brokers (middlemen)."

Utopia used to be a technology that promoted the growth of the entire social economy. In the past 40 years, it has revolutionized the country as a representative of equal rights. But now this behemoth has become a burden for the entire era. The ultimate dream of people's career planning, the capital and hot money of the whole society poured into it, and the bubbles continued to flow. Then these internal personnel responded to each other and became horns of each other, forming a cross-industry and cross-field interest alliance.

Then countless smart people realized that hard work cannot get rich, and time cannot be exchanged for money. People in the middle and upper classes are the first to stop engaging in actual production, and companies that do things in a down-to-earth manner shrink rapidly. optimal location.After the Management Committee has monopolized a large number of promotion channels and seized the maximum economic profits, those who do not want to gain power have to do so. 'Master''s cake cannot be moved.

Wealth distribution, perfect physique, and the most reasonable upward channels for ordinary people.

But all of these have been blocked by the management committee, the class is no longer flowing quickly, the economy is stagnant, and the overall strength has stagnated.

"The girl from the Tan family told me that there are less and less technology allocations in the management committee, but they have raised a group of people who don't know what to do—I'm not saying that now the fame and fortune circle in XXI District is full of these people. Living next to celebrities, surrounding us every day, ensuring that we have elegant seats in restaurants, buying the best wine, and getting opera tickets in the best seats, and even making us do nothing. Becoming the vice-chairman of a certain organization—doing nothing but engaging in social relations every day, what’s even more frightening is that they are even publicly worshiped by the society—but look at the LI area, do they go? They say that’s 'Exiled Land', those areas where children are lost, those who are seriously ill, do they care? The original concept has long been eaten by dogs."

"As soon as you turn around, it's been forty years."

Ling Yan's grandfather once told him that when they were researching Utopia, countless engineers felt that at the last step, it was as if God held their hands, and countless flashes of inspiration led to their success.

But Utopia is Pandora's box, which contains not only blessings, but also seeds of disaster.

How it fulfills people, how it will give people difficulties in the future.

Xia Chuncao suddenly sighed, "Grandfather Sijue, exposed to frost and dew, cut thorns... The image of the management committee used to be extremely noble, and your mother's management was also very good, but after her death, this organization was withdrawn for the last time. The backbone of the country - it has become a blood-sucking moth, wherever the region develops, it will go there until it drains the place... If there is no economic depression caused by this trade war, I have not worried about the situation of this country so much , I have done the most rigorous data calculation with the processor of American Investment Investment. The slowest to the end of the year, the enterprise will be unsustainable, and the unemployment rate will rise sharply. A fatal blow to the economy and the people of this country. Poverty breeds evil, this is no joke."

"I can't be soft-hearted anymore," Xia Chuncao took Ling Yan's hand, "Peaceful governance is committed to achieving social justice and giving people hope in life. This requires more courage. I care about our situation and life just like many people , but our identities have too many limitations, I can't do it, but I hope you can."
