"In the Name of the People": The most shocking thing is the generation that was corrupted early - children

I am currently following "In the Name of the People" and I have reached the seventeenth episode. For those of us who are outside the system, we have the opportunity to witness the restoration of a state close to modern officialdom, and to expose the big problem of corruption to the people. I have to say that this TV is of extraordinary significance. . We will be shocked by the officialdom problems shown in it: corruption, indecision, fear of responsibility, abuse of power, complex interpersonal balance, etc., but when watching the seventeenth episode, these shocks were all revealed by Chen Hai’s son Chen Dong The problems manifested in the body were replaced. After all, we can imagine the complexity of the officialdom, but it is unimaginable for us to imagine that a child who is still a flower of the motherland, as young as ten years old, would be corrupted by society so early.

In the seventeenth episode, Chen Hai’s son Chen Dong got into trouble at school and smashed the school window while playing football. The school teacher asked the parents to come to school to compensate and apologize. Because Lu Yike was busy, he asked Hou Liangping to go to the school to deal with it. Then Hou Liangping discovered various behavioral and value problems in the child and his classmates.

Hou Liangping asked Chen Dong why he did not go to the stadium to play football but played on the school stairs. Chen Dong told Hou Liangping calmly that he also wanted to play on the stadium. The two physical education classes in these two periods were all about football, but the captain didn't let them attend. Chen Ping had to spend fifteen yuan to buy substitute players, ten yuan to the captain, and five yuan to the vice-captain. The other six substitute players also spent money to buy playing opportunities, but it was no use, and none of them got a chance.

Seeing the child's calm and accustomed expression, Hou Liangping was shocked and asked Chen Dong if the teacher knew about this and whether they knew that their behavior was bribery and bribery, which was illegal. Chen Ping once again said disapprovingly: "No matter what the law is, nothing can be done without spending money. It is still like this now." This sentence is still like this now, which makes many people heartache. Especially when these words are spoken by a ten-year-old child, who is supposed to be the purest and least deserving of pollution, it makes people even more heartbroken.

Since when did even primary school students learn this trick and let everyone around them accept it without questioning or reporting? In the final analysis, isn’t this the influence of society and parents?

When society forms such rules silently, children are inadvertently contaminated. I remember reading a piece of news before. It said that in kindergartens and primary schools now, parents have begun to give gifts to teachers. There are so many gifts that they are all piled up at the gate. Sometimes teachers can’t even tell which parent gave them. One parent said: "Although the teacher can't tell which parents sent the gifts, the parents who didn't send them are very obvious." In the information age, WeChat can handle many things, including greetings, messages, inquiries, and even "red envelopes" ". When every parent gives gifts but not his own, teachers will inevitably be biased towards their own children. One parent said helplessly because gift-giving is also a big expense, and some are not even less than tuition fees.

Under such circumstances, some children will even compare themselves with each other. Once the teacher is biased against the child, everyone will consciously know what happened. How terrible!

Children already know the difference between having money to do things in the world and having no money at a young age. Some parents will even tell their children this idea and let them give gifts to their teachers on Teachers' Day. Behavior. Some of them do not shy away from letting their children know that this is the current social rule and it is not okay to understand it.

The consequence of this is that "smart" children copy the behavior of adults in school, thinking that only money can do things. This pure land that was supposed to promote fairness and protect children's innocence has long lost its former glory. It’s hard to imagine that children who have accepted this kind of values ??will all rely on opportunistic ways to get into work in the future, or even become the next Ding Yizhen.

Hou Liangping must be heartbroken by Chen Dong's behavior. Chen Dong's family has particularly good traditions and values. His grandfather is an upright former prosecutor general, and his father Chen Hai is also an upright and upright director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Logically speaking, such children are least likely to engage in bribery behavior.

But the reality is not as expected. Firstly, Chen Dong's grandparents were old and neglected to teach their children. Secondly, Chen Dong's mother died young, his father Chen Hai was busy with work, and later he had a car accident. No one paid attention to the changes in Chen Dong's behavior and values. .

The third and most important point is that the group the child belongs to advocates this behavior. A group atmosphere often has a much greater impact than an individual.

Hou Liangping taught Chen Dong that accepting bribes was wrong and illegal. Even if everyone else was doing it, he couldn't do it, especially since he was from the Anti-Corruption Bureau. child. Chen Dong said something again that is worthy of every adult to reflect on the phenomenon behind it, that is, when a group atmosphere is formed, individuals' "unique" behaviors will be excluded. Chen Dong said that if he changed, he would not be able to survive in the class. In addition to the bribery behavior of the football team, Chen Dong also said that the study committee member in the class supervised everyone's memorization of texts, and each person paid five yuan to let the other person pass. After one semester, he earned more than 600 yuan. He also followed suit and copied math homework for his classmates, charging each person five yuan.

At this time, adults will discover a very serious problem. Due to the influence of group behavior, the child has been "brainwashed" by this kind of values. It is not easy for him to re-accept the correct values. What's more, once he changes, he will be "excluded" from this group. This is a very serious problem. If you want to correct your personal behavior, you must change the general environment. Transforming an individual to be alone and independent from the world does not seem to be very consistent with reality.

I think this is no longer a matter of children’s individual education, but group education and atmosphere education. Such problems must be taken seriously by parents and schools and should be reformed. I think this also fits the theme of the entire TV series. If you want to change personal corruption problems, you must improve the entire official style as a whole.

I still remember the news that came out not long ago about a pair of parents who took on more than 200,000 yuan in debt to buy a BMW, which was called a higher starting point for their children. How do you say this? With better cars, your children's classmates will be willing to ride in your car and play with your children.

The general public lamented: "Is this for the sake of the children's face, or the face of the adults themselves?" But adults also complained: Nowadays, children are all smart, and everyone has what kind of car and what kind of shoes they wear. , can you integrate into this circle, otherwise you will be excluded. What can be done for the sake of the children?

But doesn’t this view actually come from adult education? Parents tell their children, look, a classmate from a certain family drives a Mercedes-Benz, and his mother carries tens of thousands of Chanels. The family must be rich, and you should have more contact with such classmates. Or even if parents don't actually tell their children this way, their expressions, eyes, and even inadvertent conversations between husband and wife betray their thoughts. Children have already learned to distinguish them under the influence of their ears and eyes. Under this strong trend, unless you have a very strong heart, the tragedy of buying a BMW with debt may occur.

In "In the Name of the People", Chen Dong's grandparents came to pick up Chen Dong, and Hou Liangping and Chen Dong's grandparents responded to the primary school student's problem of spending money to do things. His grandma said that adults are competing with each other. One day this family lives in a luxury house, and tomorrow the rich wife of that family buys a bag worth tens of thousands, so the children all start to compare themselves. It is best to wear designer clothes worth tens of thousands. The most hateful thing is that the media has bad guidance and reports this kind of meaningless stuff every day.

Chen Dong immediately answered: "It makes sense, our classmates all like to watch it. The ideal of male classmates is to buy a Lamborghini, and the ideal of female classmates is to marry a wealthy family." Chen Dong's natural answer, and his The reality of the students' reaction made me shudder. This group of children who are only ten years old have already worshiped money to such an extent. The ideals of all children have long been separated from careers such as scientists and teachers, but are all based on money, Lamborghinis, wealthy families, and naked money worship. What girls want is not to make money through their own efforts but to marry into a rich family, take shortcuts and get something for nothing.

Chen Dong’s subsequent words also reflected that this child’s thoughts were also affected by his classmates and social atmosphere. When he heard that his grandma was the eldest daughter of a wealthy family when she was young, and that she once took ten gold bars from home, he immediately asked with interest if she was doing business. When he knew that grandma was donating to the revolutionary cause free of charge, he actually said He scolded grandma for being mentally retarded without hesitation, and did not even leave a few gold bars for him.

This kind of reality with blood and thorns, and even the values ????that have been deeply rooted in the minds of children, makes those who care about Chen Dong in the play feel sad, and also makes those of us in front of the TV tremble. .

Because we know that this is not a purely fictional plot created by the screenwriter, but a naked portrayal of reality.

TV presents us with the cruel reality in an artistic way. Wake up this society: we have destroyed our supposedly pure next generation prematurely. If it is not taken seriously, the "corrupt second generation", a deformed product of society, will soon be born.
