The name change of stealing food

Kong Yiji, written by Lu Xun, once said that when a scholar steals a book, it cannot be called stealing, it is called stealing. After 2009, the Ministry of Culture issued an order that stealing vegetables in the SNS game Happy Farm that many people like to play on the Internet can no longer be called stealing, but picking.

On November 18, the Ministry of Culture issued Document No. 46 of the "Ministry of Culture's Notice on Improving and Strengthening Online Game Content Management"; the notice requires "establishing a correct cultural value orientation" and "improving Game rules, adjust product structure, etc.

On December 17, at the request of the Ministry of Culture, Kaixin Farm, QQ Farm and other previous battlefields for online food stealing were no longer called food stealing, and were changed to "harvest" and "picking". You "stole a black rose" from someone else's field, and now you "plucked a black rose" from someone else's field. From now on, there is no cheating online.

In the past year, a game with growing and stealing vegetables as its main interest has become popular on major SNS social networking sites. On December 17, the era of "food stealing" came to an abrupt end.

The industry generally believes that the Ministry of Culture’s approach is intended to standardize the wording in the game, but does not make any changes to the game itself. Players can still get up in the middle of the night to “pick” as before.

There is no specific notice or document issued on the website of the Ministry of Culture regarding the name change of Stealing Food, but major SNS websites have modified the wording in the game, such as Kaixin.com changed it to "harvest" , QQ Farm was changed to "picking", and Renren Farm was changed to "picking".

In Kaixin.com’s past vegetable-stealing games, there were often many people waiting for the crops when they matured. If you were slow to start, you would see a prompt: “All has been stolen.” In the dynamic bar below, someone would steal from his Some crops were stolen from the field, and now they were picked from his field... There used to be a placard on the farm that read, "Those who steal must be paid back." Now it has changed to "Come out and pick." Yes, you will always have to pay it back.”

Perhaps the changes were too hasty. The reporter found that traces of "stealing" in some details are still there. The icon of Kaixin.com is still a masked thief, and the notice board of QQ Farm also reads "Labor is glorious, stealing is shameful." wait.

Some netizens didn’t quite understand why the thieves were ordered to change their names. Some netizens bluntly said, “I’m full of food” and “From now on, the thief will be called Xiaozhao.”
