Why are the situations in Zhao Benshan, Zhou Libo and China so different?

China has two famous mouths, and his performances are all works with satire and criticism. One is Zhao Benshan, and the other is Zhou Libo. However, the situation of the two people is very different. A man who was once called the king of the Northeast, now keeps a low profile. Zhou Libo was tried in the United States, but was boycotted by netizens in China.

Although there is no so-called "political correctness" in China, it is strictly controlled, and it is forbidden to say some explicit themes and jokes. A few years ago, talking about vulnerable groups was not as serious as it is now. Zhao Benshan has been playing the roles of disabled people and farmers on the stage. At that time, although many people questioned it, Uncle Zhao went to the Spring Festival Evening as usual.

One of Zhou Libo's jokes, garlic coffee theory, made him resisted by all netizens. Zhou Libo can be said to be the first person in China's entertainment circle who was scolded and no one objected. Zhou Libo often makes a fuss about the customs and living habits of northerners. In order to please his audience in Shanghai, Zhou Libo declared that how can we (Shanghainese) mix with people who drink coffee and eat garlic (Northeasters)?

Some people think that the difference between Zhao Benshan and Zhou Libo is equivalent to that black people use the word nigger with a sarcastic meaning, while people of other colors can't. This is racial discrimination. Zhao Benshan himself is a farmer who has made a fortune since then. As a Northeastern, everyone can play in the Northeast. If Zhao Benshan plays a beggar in Shanghai, there will be a problem.

Zhou Libo's remarks caused opposition between the North and the South. Why should a way of life be divided? Zhao Benshan was not hated by migrant workers. Even after he left the Spring Festival Gala, many people wanted him to go back. Because Zhao Benshan's performance is grounded, Zhou Libo always feels that he is a senior figure.

Not to mention Zhao Benshan's other black history, at least in his works, Zhao Benshan has not been hacked, and Zhou Libo seems to be less sought after by the audience.
