Chapter 1319 The Outburst (Part 2)
Rebirth of a Perfect Future · 第1319章 爆发(下)
Why are hypocritical do-gooders so annoying?
Because they habitually hold others to high standards while being lenient with themselves.
They arbitrarily set moral standards, such as saying eating dog meat is uncivilized and should be condemned, or claiming that a man hitting a woman is domestic violence, while a woman hitting a man is a manifestation of feminist supremacy.
The most obvious example is the later incident of Ms. Zhang's affair. When the internet exposed Ms. Zhang beating her ex-husband, there was a chorus of approval. The label of an independent and strong woman spread like wildfire, and along with her previous remarks, many self-media outlets led by Mi Meng indulged in a feminist狂欢.
Later, Ms. Zhang was exposed again. Not only did she have an extramarital affair, but she also sent messages to her ex-husband asking for reconciliation while hooking up with younger men. Yet, a group of feminists still dared to call her an independent new woman, saying that during her single period, she could be with whoever she wanted. Did they misunderstand the word 'single'?
The answer is clearly no.
A group of elite women who can write dazzling articles on self-media could not possibly be illiterate.
In the final analysis, they deliberately play dumb.
Or to be more precise, in their eyes, things are not about right or wrong; the distinction lies in whether it benefits them.
That's why a certain big-mouthed female star posted idiotic remarks on Weibo like 'the land where evil blooms.' In the end, she said that not only because she is an actress, but also because she is a hypocritical do-gooder.
In fact, in Zhao Fusheng's view, all crimes against children are unforgivable.
No matter how old the perpetrator is, even if they are the same age, they should be punished by law, not rely on the so-called 'Juvenile Protection Law' to escape justice.
That is also why Zhao Fusheng sent Zhang Tao to the United States.
Because he knew very well that if the Chinese media exposed the Gwangju welfare home incident, at most, Koreans would hold demonstrations, and then, as in the original history, a bunch of scumbags would be sentenced.
But if the Koreans' American daddy intervened, it would cause a huge uproar in Korea.
Koreans care a lot about their American daddy. If this matter, through the influence of Facebook, sparked a huge discussion in the United States, then those involved would have no choice but to die to atone for their sins.
Yes, Zhao Fusheng wanted to force them to death!
Although those children were not Chinese, they were just a group of pitiful kids. Even deaf-mute children could be bullied; these people did not deserve forgiveness.
As for whether anyone would think Zhao Fusheng was ruthless, Zhao Fusheng could only say that forgiving criminals is God's business; our duty is to send them to God. Do not just face things that are against heaven's reason with full anger; we should confront them to the end, not exaggerate, not blindly follow, and uphold our own justice and morality.
...
...
June 25, sunny.
Across the ocean in the United States, on the homepage of Facebook, which had recently become famous and popular among young people in Europe and America, a piece of news suddenly broke out.
"According to information we have received, horrifying and cruel incidents are occurring in Gwangju, South Korea..."
Accompanied by an open letter signed by Mark Zuckerberg and Sean Parker, the click-through rate on Facebook's homepage skyrocketed. Many European and American media outlets quickly reposted it, and the news spread across half the globe on the internet.
Even in China, major portal websites quickly reposted this news.
Headlines such as "Child Abuse in Gwangju, South Korea" and "Sexual Assault of Deaf-Mute Children in Gwangju" quickly dominated the front pages of news media in various countries.
After the news spread, the whole of South Korea was in an uproar!
Just as Zhao Fusheng had predicted, like a rooster striding proudly forward suddenly being choked by the neck, the entire country of South Korea was now somewhat stunned.
If it were only the neighboring Chinese media reporting this, the arrogant and self-centered Koreans could dismiss it as sensationalism by the media of the red country that, in their impression, had experienced ten years of turmoil and had always been 'backward' compared to the Republic of Korea. But even mainstream European and American media were paying attention to this matter, which made it troublesome.
It was said that even the President of South Korea received interview invitations from reporters of newspapers like The New York Times from across the ocean. But this time, it was not to interview the human rights lawyer about his rise or his policy platform, but to ask him what he wanted to say to the people of the world about this ugly incident that occurred in South Korea.
Yes, in the view of the American news media, this incident in South Korea was undoubtedly a trampling and damage to human rights, and it needed to be severely whipped by the big stick of democracy and love.
Thus, the Korean people suddenly discovered that their American daddy no longer loved them.
This deeply hurt the Koreans, who always considered themselves a world power, with culture and economy ranking among the top in the world.
What hurt them even more was that they found they could not refute what was being said.
Because those things turned out to be true!
It was like when people curse by calling someone a turtle's egg, but if that phrase falls on the ears of certain specific people, it is like pointing at a monk and cursing a bald head.
For example, Hu·One Hundred Thousand Whys·Hai Quan's partner, or another who toasts Baoqiang with one cup and Nailiang with another.
What kind of humiliation is most unbearable? It is when the insults others hurl at you actually hit your real flaws.
Like the Koreans now. They could endure others' contempt and teasing, and even planned to counterattack by accusing them of fabrications. But as the incident fermented, when they discovered that the information published on Facebook was indeed true, the whole of South Korea exploded!
To be precise, the Korean people exploded.
Protests!
Protests involving over a million people!
On a scale of over ten million!
Starting from the end of June, massive protests erupted across South Korea.
It should be noted that in this country, demonstrations and protests are common and legal.
In the end, even South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun had to publicly kneel and apologize to the people, promising to seriously deal with all those involved, including the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of Gwangju.
In fact, these people were now dumbfounded. They had never expected that this matter would be exposed first by Americans, to the extent that even if they wanted to suppress it, they could not.
There was no way; they could not contact the people at Facebook.
Although some bigwigs in the South Korean judiciary even tried to contact people at Facebook, that was not South Korea; it was the United States, the so-called free and democratic America. For a group of Koreans to do anything, they first had to consider American feelings.
For example, the South Korean Consul General in Los Angeles tried to communicate with Facebook, asking them to remove the information, saying that South Korea would handle it themselves.
Mark Zuckerberg simply ignored it, while Sean Parker directly approached the American media, stating that as an internet company adhering to the principles of freedom and fairness, and as law-abiding American citizens, he and Zuckerberg's Facebook had been threatened by Koreans!
Well, he used the word 'threatened.'
As a result, the Consul General was directly recalled to South Korea, simply because the United States expressed serious concern.
The U.S. government had no interest in what happened in South Korea and did not intend to meddle, but the problem was that if a thriving American internet company was threatened by Koreans, that was a big deal.
It might sound domineering, but that is the consistent approach of Americans. In their eyes, only interests and partners who can bring benefits are good partners.
And in their view, South Korea had nothing to lose in this matter; it was just a few rotten apples. Just step on them.
At worst, just replace them with another batch.
And the instigator of all this, Zhao Fusheng, met Zhang Tao in the capital on July 10th.
"How is it? Feeling better these days?" Zhao Fusheng looked at Zhang Tao and asked with a smile.
Zhang Tao smiled bitterly and nodded helplessly: "Chairman Zhao, you didn't tell me this would blow up so big!"
