The word "well-known" probably appeared in the 1980s. I'm too lazy to check. Anyway, it's probably that period. It doesn't matter if there is a little error.
Since the 1980s, that is, since the reform, such a class of intellectuals has emerged, such as those engaged in literature and art, economics, history, politics, philosophy and law. They claimed that they spoke for the benefit of all and spoke for the public, so the media at that time called them public intellectuals, or public intellectuals for short. At that time, the media called them this way, which was to flatter and praise them. At that time, well-known was a commendatory term, which meant that well-known people were broad-minded, had boundless love and served the whole public.
Writers who write scar literature are also among them. Let's see, scar literature is about the injuries suffered by the public in the first 30 years, complaining for the whole public. This is a voice for the public.
Speaking of this, some people may think that it is well known that they speak for the interests of all and speak for the public, and I am a member of the public. They speak for my interests and speak for me. This is a good thing. They are all good people. Of course I should support them.
If you think so, you will be taken in. Look at the problem not at the surface, not at what they say, but at the essence.
In fact, when they say all the people, they are just a few people, not including you. The reason why they want to say that they speak for the interests of all people and speak for the public is to obliterate the class, deliberately describe all people as citizens without distinction, and replace the people with citizens, creating an atmosphere for the rebirth of the bourgeoisie and cultivating the soil. At that time, there was no bourgeoisie, and if the bourgeoisie was to be reborn in China, it needed an atmosphere, a kind of soil, so that China people could accept the return of the bourgeois king, which was the purpose of publicity at that time. Later, when the bourgeoisie appeared, they continued to wave flags and shout for the interests of the bourgeoisie. What they say about fraternity makes the world full of love, but they just want to disintegrate the struggle of the proletariat against the bourgeoisie.
Because they want to do this because they naturally hate socialism, public planned economy, capitalism and private market economy. This is their * * * characteristics.
Because they have these characteristics in common, as long as they listen to the well-known, no matter which well-known, whether they are well-known in literature and art, economics or history, as long as they speak, they will all vilify the planned economy of public ownership, the Soviet Union, North Korea and the first 30 years, all hate the struggle, all praise the developed freedom and democracy of capitalism, all applaud the United States and recruit the Republic of China.
Take scar literature as an example. The theme of scar literature is to make China people hate the public-owned pot of rice in the first 30 years by describing the sufferings of China people in the first 30 years.
The purpose is not obvious, that is, to tell the people of China that public ownership is no good, its brick system is dark, its efficiency is low, and it makes people suffer. The implication is that private ownership is good and capitalism is good. China needs capitalists to drive everyone to a paradise of freedom, democracy and prosperity. This is to create an atmosphere for the return of bourgeois kings, whether they are interested or not. But they don't admit that scar literature is to call for capitalism and cover up the real purpose.
So why not say they speak for the interests of the bourgeoisie? They are stupid. If they want to say that they speak for the interests of the bourgeoisie, who will listen to them? They say they speak for the interests of the public. How nice! What a beautiful cover!
Mao Yushi was half telling the truth. He said he spoke for the rich and worked for the poor. However, when he said that he spoke for the rich, he did not forget to add the phrase "Work for the poor, bring the poor with him", which means that he serves the rich and the poor, that is, all people. If you don't take this half sentence as a cover, you can't listen to the first half sentence, and he dare not say it.
As it is well known that speaking for the benefit of all people is false and speaking for the bourgeoisie is true, the more workers and peasants listen to their words, the more they feel that they are not interesting, and their reputation is getting worse. Now the well-known has rapidly changed from a positive word to a negative word, which is made by themselves and determined by their nature.
Comparatively speaking, the intellectuals praised by the proletariat in the first 30 years are not well known, but they are class-conscious. They are called proletarian intellectuals or people intellectuals. They speak for the proletariat, for the workers and peasants, and not for everyone. They are not broad-minded. What they say and create literature and art is to overthrow the bourgeoisie and capitalism.
So was it known in the first 30 years? Yes, and a lot. If there was no public knowledge in the first thirty years, where did the public knowledge after the 1980s come from? Isn't it known that Mao Yushi came here 30 years ago? Only in the first 30 years, they were not known, but called right-wing intellectuals and bourgeois intellectuals. They were criticized and suppressed, not the mainstream. The famous "draw the snake out of the hole" is to lead them to talk. You can't always dive in the group, you have to take a dip and accept the challenge of the group members. That's what it means to lure the snake out of the hole. After the reform, they were liberated, and they all came out of the hole. In the spring, they all became active, and they changed their faces and appeared in a well-known way, so that the workers and peasants readily accepted them and enjoyed them. Workers and peasants also cry foul for the criticism they received in the past. Alas, how can such a good intellectual, who serves the whole people and, of course, our workers and peasants, criticize them? Workers and peasants at that time all thought so. The original proletarian intellectuals changed their minds in time and followed them. Those who don't want to change their minds are all over.
It was also known during the Republic of China. Liang Shiqiu and Hu Shi are all these. They do not admit to serving the bourgeoisie, but say that they serve all citizens, and their words will be called freedom, democracy, fraternity, fairness and justice. It seems that they want to squeeze freedom, democracy, fraternity, fairness and justice from the bourgeoisie and the proletariat.
The rabbit died in sorrow, and the well-known people cherish the well-known. Today's well-known people certainly like their predecessors very much.
