Why is Xu Zhiyuan so embarrassed by Ma Dongyi?

Ma Dong became famous again because of the online program "Seven Ba Shuo". Recently, a video conversation between him and writer Xu Zhiyuan caused quite a controversy.

In the interview, the two men argued around grand themes such as the times, the world and generations, each with his own understanding, and then disagreed on details such as vulgarity and refinement, and how to treat the post-90 s generation. After the video was released, public opinion was interpreted twice, and misunderstandings were frequent, which was no less than a cultural crush accident.

No matter how Ma Dong's Seven Ba Shuo won the love of the new generation, it may be difficult for fans of many programs to understand the meaning of this dialogue. Xu Zhiyuan tried to turn the dialogue into a writer's exchange of ideas, but he was repeatedly beaten in front of Ma Dong's TV performing arts. No one cares what they talked about, but public opinion is making waves, laughing at Xu Zhiyuan and scolding the public.

For many people who know him better, this embarrassing intellectual's inexplicable "popularity" is also puzzling: Isn't this Xu Zhiyuan? Have you known him since the first day?

For many people, it may be the first time to know him. Xu Zhiyuan, male, born in 1976, worked in many excellent media, and later founded a one-way street bookstore with friends who were "congenial" in these media. He is not a master of familiar scenes. He will politely tell his boss that he will leave his job to study at Harvard, and at the same time, he will step on his boss's coffee table to tie his shoelaces.

Whether Xu Zhiyuan is out of touch with the times or not, and whether he can understand the young people around him, this is the lifestyle he has chosen. Moreover, when he was young, Xu Zhiyuan wrote a considerable number of articles and works, and has been active in the front line of culture so far. He went to some important China sites to observe, understand and spread, and changed his identity as needed. It is ok to praise Ma Dong, but not at the expense of trampling on Xu Zhiyuan.
