Hello everyone, welcome to the Don’t Understand Podcast. I am the host Yuan Li
Before this episode starts, I want to say one thing first.
May 27th, the Don’t Understand Podcast will celebrate its third anniversary
From May 2022 to now, we have gone through 150 episodes together
Three years ago, when I first recorded my voice
I said, We hope to add a glimmer of clarity to this chaotic and confusing world
In the past three years, we have discussed major news events with the best scholars, writers, social activists, journalists, businessmen
and ordinary people who care about public life and senior destiny
. We have discussed the history and the future.
Of course, the complexity of life is that despite so much dialogue and confusion
we have not been able to move towards the ideal world as we wished
In the past three years, the Russia-Ukraine war has not stopped
The new trade war is destroying our already fragile economic and employment environment
Information control is tighter
It is becoming increasingly difficult for us to know what is happening in China
Our confusion has never disappeared, but is growing
What comforts us are those precious individual narratives
Strong vitality and desire for expression
In the past three years, audience friends have also given us many surprises and comfort
Long emails, packed offline events
and generous donations every month let us know
People who don’t understand podcasts are linked to life
A group of people who are curious about the world, passionate and eager to take action
Therefore, on the occasion of the third anniversary
we want to collect your stories about growing up with people who don’t understand podcasts
Don’t understand what podcasts mean in your life
How has your life changed with the changes in the world in the past three years
Whether you moved from one city to another
Whether you have achieved any wishes
Or are you still looking for a way out in depression
Please write to share with us
If convenient, please indicate the country, city, gender, age and occupation where you live
This will help us and other listeners better understand your story
Thank you everyone
The following is the program
What can overseas Chinese do for people within the high wall
Teacher Li Li Ying’s experience can especially answer this question
Starting from the White Paper Movement
Teacher Li, who had just graduated in Italy at the time
gradually turned his Twitter account into an information distribution center linking both inside and outside the high wall
Those who are on Douyin, Weibo and other domestic Internet platforms
Content that cannot appear or disappears
appears overseas through anonymous submissions
and becomes a huge threat that the CCP cannot ignore
This year, Mr. Li launched two activities
One focuses on the issue of overtime learning in primary and secondary schools
The other focuses on the issue of overtime work in the workplace
These two issues are not new
It can even be said that there are complaints but no way to start
Why should he pay attention to these two issues
Are these actions useful
What is the relationship between them and the controversial Li coin
Today we invited Teacher Li
Ask him to talk about these two actions
and why he thinks such actions can empower Chinese citizens to participate
Hello Teacher Li
Hello Sister Yuan Li
Listeners who don’t understand the podcast Hello everyone
I am Teacher Li
Can you first introduce to everyone
Why did you think of doing the two projects of overtime study and overtime work
At the beginning
It was because during the Spring Festival
many, many students submitted articles to us
told us that their schools would start on the fifth day of the fifth grade
Then I hope we can speak up for them or report on them
After such submissions gradually increased
If you send them one by one or in a series of time
The effect does not seem to be very good
And if it is a common problem
Is there a way for us to count and record these things
At that time, some friends in the team said
Can we use a form
Just like the 996.ICU project
Go to a school that publicizes these problems
At that time we thought this idea was quite good
Then we decided to try it
We made a small attempt at the beginning
We also used this 996.ICU
A similar name
We called it 611.ICU
What does the number 611 mean
It actually means school at six in the morning
Then school ends at 11 o'clock in the evening
This is also a common problem when many students
come to us to report the situation of their schools
...
We are actually quite shocked
We just know that today's students have become like this
So we decided to say
Then we will use the name 611.ICU
Let’s name this small action of ours
Why should we pay attention to these two issues
It is also because of my account
From the very beginning
In fact, the two largest groups
are workers and students
Just these two groups
are usually in my private mailbox
The people who contribute the most to me
When they encounter such problems
Then they will come and tell me
Can you help me speak out
I think this matter
If you really want to talk about it
I feel very surprised
That is if you really touch it
When you really challenge it, you will find that
it is not something that cannot be defeated
On the contrary,
when we gather enough people
It is possible for us to change it
So we later
put forward a slogan
to call your situation loud and clear
That is, we hope
that everyone can realize that
their rights can be fought for
and can be seen
One of the foundations for the change of our entire society
is that we start to fight for our own rights
Then I can also add some information
The 996.ICU project
...
mentioned by Teacher Li just now is an open source project launched by a Chinese programmer
on GitHub in 2019
To work 996 sick ICU
It satirizes the overwork culture prevalent in the Internet industry
Calls on everyone to list the list of companies that implement the 996 work system
...
This project received a lot of media coverage that year
Some major Internet companies
also blocked this website
But in general
until today
Overwork and overtime
are still
a very common situation among major Internet companies
I would also like to add that
this is the form
In fact, there is a tradition
...
that started after 996.ICU
including the later words. It seems that a lot of this
similar things
happened on Tencent documents.
Then for example,
people from some major Internet companies
collectively wrote on a document
to fill in their situation
or a corporate blacklist.
I just want to tell everyone
which companies
need lightning protection and so on
And later
it became very popular
The Star Returning Plan
was also
done on domestic documents at the beginning
It was everyone's initiative
to fill in
the personal information of their missing relatives
Our first project
was to transplant the Stars Returning Home Project
to Google's form.
After the Stars Returning Home Project was banned in China,
we quickly transplanted it to Google
and then transplanted it overseas
Then we
based on its original
may have collected more than
more than 1,000 pieces of data
Then we began to think that
this was a feasible path
We did the following two
You launched it on February 1st
National primary, middle and high school overtime learning report box
In less than a month
we received submissions from 2581 middle schools across the country
Did you think there would be so many submissions
How did they know
...
You can come here to submit articles. Among the people who submit articles,
are there more parents
or more students
So far,
we have received
submissions from more than 4,000 schools.
There are probably
more than 12,000 high schools in the country.
So we have actually collected
Quite a certain proportion of schools
So in my opinion
it already represents
a very common data
In terms of this result,
I actually thought of
but I didn’t expect
because although students’ education is involved
Overtime learning
It is a relatively common problem
At the same time, on the one hand, I have received
a lot of such private message submissions in the past
On the other hand,
there are also many institutions in China
which are constantly doing research and statistics in this area
For example, some studies
were conducted on 140,000 teenagers
and were tested
and found that 31% had depression
More than 30% have anxiety
and 42% have
sleep disorders and other problems
Regarding this part-time worker
it was in 23 years
In fact, the official data is the youth unemployment rate
which is close to 20%
So in this regard
I can think
There should be more data
Because the base number is very large
But
I may have thought at first
that there would not be so many people submitting
because I think there may be many people
Although he said that he had such a situation
But he didn't want to express it
Or he was based on various pressures
or problems
Obviously everyone's positivity
is beyond my imagination
And it's obvious that the number of people jumping over the wall
is much more than we imagined
One-third of the schools in the country
Contribute to us
That means one-third of the schools
In fact, students can climb over the wall
This is actually
one of the things that surprised me the most
There are so many people climbing over the wall, right
That's right
Not only you
but they are also very surprised
We received a lot of feedback from some people within the Ministry of Education
Department of Education
Their feedback
was during their meetings
It is also very shocking
There are so many schools
Then there will be students submitting articles to us
It is completely beyond their imagination
Another question is
Are there more students
Or are there more parents
In terms of the proportion of submissions
there must be more students
Then of course students will account for the main force
In fact, there are parents
but there are certainly not many parents
I have also received private messages from parents
saying that they actually do not agree with the domestic
involution-style education
but they have no choice
because even when the whole society is
like this
you may not be able to escape
because not
everyone has the conditions to go to school.
International schools or aristocratic schools, etc.
Or they have made up their minds
to take their children out of the way.
So for them,
they are also very opposed to such involution
but they have no choice
So they also
want to contribute by submitting articles
Contribute their own strength
In fact, talking about parents
When I went to Los Angeles this time
I met a lot of people
They walked online just for their children
They are the whole family
Walking online with their children
Why did they walk online
It’s because they don’t want their children
to receive that kind of education in China, so they would rather walk online here
It’s quite amazing
They must be willing to talk to us
We are very willing to talk
Because we have always wanted to make a topic
That is Chinese parents
In order to prevent their children
from being subjected to this kind of education system
A pressure or pollution
One is too Juan
The other is from the ideological aspect
Being brainwashed all day long
What are they doing, what efforts have been made
Perhaps the most extreme one is to take the children to the United States
If any listeners have heard it
welcome to contribute to us
What
have been disclosed among these submissions you have received
Information that you think is particularly important
Or information that is particularly impressive
I took a look and I think it is really
I can't even dare to imagine, for example, the current children
How hard their students are suffering
And
what are their demands
What about their current situation
In fact, it's like
the name of this project
611.ICU
The meaning of this ICU
In fact, it means 611
until you enter this ICU
In fact, the status of students
is like this
Generally speaking, for all those who fill out the form
their average weekly schooling hours
is 95 hours
and then fluctuates by 20 hours
They need to live on campus
They have to get up at 6 o'clock in the morning to run and exercise
This is the kind we see
Like the documentary in Hengshui
you hold a book
and then run
Then after running
you have to run to the cafeteria immediately to eat
After eating
Then quickly run back to the classroom to go to class
Then
maybe take a break of about two hours
and then continue class in the afternoon
Work until 10:30 pm
It’s still 10 o’clock
Then go back to the dormitory
Soon you finish washing up
Lights out at 11 o'clock
You repeat this kind of life every day
If it's a month,
you may have one or two days of vacation
Not a week, but a month
Their situation is very bad
Many students are very, very depressed
Then one of the
most shocking data
we received is that 44% of schools
have experienced it in 2024
The situation of this student's suicide
So why is this list
Later we called it the shame list
When we were discussing
some of us would think that saying shame
would be a bit radical
or a bit inappropriate
But then someone said
Under this education model
half of the schools
in the country have students committing suicide
Isn't this
a shame for our education in China
Then we thought
Yes, this is indeed a shame
Yes, so we finally called this list
the shame list
Yes, yes
In fact, Western NGOs
often use this
shame is shame
Such a method
It is a very common way to force some groups
or individuals to change their behavior
...
To
the Hengshui model is really terrible
I should have gone to a company in Hebei for an interview in 18 years
It was a very small company
In a very small city
The second daughter of that family went to Hengshui Middle School
They told me at the time
I just can't believe it
How could it be like this
I don't even have time to go to the toilet between classes
It's so pitiful and pitiful
Yes
I don't know what school she went to later
But I thought at the time
Oh my god
In order to get into a university
Do you have to live such a terrible life
We have also heard some people say
how important the Hengshui model is
Then it made my children
or let me come from a rural area
From a person with a poor family background
What kind of university did he end up in
And what kind of life did he have
But in fact, the trauma
is actually very, very serious.
caused by the Hengshui model
The kind of
psychological morbidity
this kind of education produces, this kind of paranoia
and various psychological problems
The harm
and the next generation is far greater than
of this thing to our generation
its so-called success in scores
In terms of education issues,
especially in such a
very deformed and involuted environment.
There is actually very little consensus
Many people may say that the real problem
may be much more complicated than weekend weekends
And many parents are very anxious
They feel that my child has weekend weekends
Other children are still rushing forward
In the process of doing this project
Are there many such voices?
What do you think of such voices
Of course there are many such voices
One of the Simplified Chinese circles
The real political correctness is that nothing you do
For everyone, what is the use of your weekend break
The real problem is the Communist Party
You should knock down the Communist Party
Or you should overthrow the Communist Party
All the questions
In the end, you should go
Kick the Communist Party out
But for me,
is that you are within your capabilities
and then you are within your scope
and can do your best
That's OK
There is definitely no way to say
You keep shouting slogans in vain
But if you can
actually do something
to change some small things
Maybe these small things
will become a
flapping butterfly wings in the future
I think that small thing
may end up being
a small fulcrum that shakes the whole earth
...
The kind of anxiety about parents
Because I used to be a teacher
I actually have a lot
Experience in this area
I can give you two examples
The first example
I also taught students in China
When I was in Italy
I also taught students
Then one of my biggest touches
is the Chinese students
After they entered the Academy of Fine Arts
They will be very, very good in the first year
They are the
best students in the entire grade
They draw very, very well
Then those Italian students
They just can't draw
There is absolutely no way
Compared with Chinese students
But when they are sophomores and juniors
the situation is completely different
You will find Chinese students
The paintings they drew in their sophomore and junior years
are almost the same as the paintings they drew in their freshman year
And the Italian students
They have begun to have their own artistic language
and started to create their own art
Why
It’s not because Italian students are talented
Or Italian students are hardworking
Chinese students don’t study or whatnot
But
Chinese students
They are actually in an artificial limit
He is imprisoned
What we used to call the success of Chinese education
It is actually based on China's own judgment mechanism
It is different from the general situation in the world
It is different
Italian students
When they are learning
They do not set limits
They are constantly learning
Various styles
Various ways of creation
Then think about
how you want to create
But for Chinese students
When I was teaching high school students,
our principal told us
When you teach your children,
don’t let him have his own ideas
Just give him a photo
Give him a painting
Just let him face the painting all the time.
Then draw for half a year
Let him memorize this painting
It’s OK if he goes to the examination room to write this painting silently
Don’t think about
What kind of room for him to think
It’s too scary
Don’t let him have ideas
Just to pass the exam
This is not the most terrifying
The most terrifying thing is
For Chinese students
He thinks it's right
He thinks he doesn't think
He thinks it's OK for him to do something
that others can recognize
...
He doesn't dare to do those things that
others don't recognize
He doesn't dare to jump out of that
circle that has been drawn for him
This is actually a very scary thing
Are Chinese students successful?
I think they are actually very successful.
As for my classmates
or my students
After they return to China,
they also join an artist association somewhere.
...
...
...
...
For the art of this country
For the cultural progress of this country
Is it meaningful
I think it is actually meaningless
Even for personal talent
Right
It is meaningless
It is actually a waste
I think our Chinese students
will fall into a kind of empiricism
That is, they just want to be themselves
Things you can do
The subject of art
is already a relatively free subject in everyone's concept
...
Maybe in other subjects
In other majors
Maybe the situation is the same
Then why
Because our education pursues
cultivating obedient people
rather than creative people
Even if they have been emphasizing
it means you are not creative
You do not have the ability to innovate
Just the ability to innovate
Xi Jinping mentioned every day
But if you want to be creative
you will definitely be subversive
you will definitely be rebellious
Then do they need such a person
In fact, they don't need it
Another example is
Internet Addiction Quit School
What impressed me deeply
seems to be
The documentary of the Internet Addiction Quit School in Linyi, Shandong
There was a child who was quite rebellious
and then was imprisoned
and was electrocuted for an hour
After he came out, he was completely numb
Then the parents
I'm sorry I was wrong
Then the parents hugged the child excitedly
and told him to cry
They felt that the child was finally obedient
Finally got better
But in fact
A real nightmare
It has just begun for this family
The rest of your child's life
There should always be a trauma in the soul
Then there will always be such a person in your family
for the rest of your life
...
This kind of child who has been hurt mentally
And in his eyes
you are the one who hurt him
So I think like this
Is the Hengshui model good?
Or the current education model in China
Is it good?
What we need to pay attention to is
the condition of the child himself
We can't say that we want to be good to him
We think this is the only way to do it.
In other words, this is how we came over back then
So they should be like this too
I don’t think it is like this
That’s because the times are different
You are in such an era of
Internet technology with rapid development of information
An era of rapid development of all kinds of things
Then you ask your children
to be like before
It’s like being in prison
That’s thirty days in a month
I was locked up in school for twenty-nine days
Then I kept doing the questions
I think you have done a very serious harm to the children
...
Of course we have to pay attention to the children themselves
Their pain
And the students who contributed to us
They are really very painful
So on this matter
I certainly understand some parents
They think we still need to involute
The college entrance examination is the only way out
If not
What will happen to our children in the future
My current idea is actually
This kind of special involution
Then do a lot of questions
How can you do better than AI now
You really should reconsider
To develop other skills in your children
Right
Especially in the future,
interpersonal communication skills
may become more and more important
Because many things can be replaced by machines
If you let it just be a machine for doing questions
How can you beat AI
Of course I said I don’t have children
I watched from the side
I thought Oops
Is this useful?
And it makes the children so miserable
In the past two years,
some big factories
have also restricted employees from working overtime
For example, in March
the news that DJI forced employees to get off work at 9 pm
was on the hot search
A few days ago, Xiaohongshu also said that it would cancel 996
Does this conflict with what you saw in the submission?
There is no conflict
The fact that this kind of news can be trending
itself means that this thing is wrong
Right
You were originally a piece of news that protected this worker
The basic eight-hour work system
In the end, it became a topic of national discussion
Everyone was liking it
I looked at it and it was mandatory for employees to get off work at 9pm
It's very late to get off work at nine o'clock, okay
Yes
That's right
This kind of thing itself has been on the hot search
It shows that it is the same as our actual situation
...
Everyone is working overtime
This is a universal
It is common to the whole society
Even if you are in the system
Your working hours are eight hours
But actually you have endless work after get off work
You still have endless work
I looked at your data
For your company, state-owned enterprises account for 20%
You received 990 submissions
Yes, of course, private enterprises account for the most 59%
What impressed you most
What are some of the data that you think are the most incredible
The most incredible part for me
is actually the experience of these people who filled out the form
There are many parts that are completely beyond our imagination
We received a lot of submissions from
these people within the system
The one that impressed me the most was actually the submission from the United Front Department of Karamay
...
There was a person
and he was really, very brave
This person
He is the Karamay United Front Department who submitted the article first
Their deputy minister
should be a person named Liang Wujun
That is to say, that person has some corruption and malfeasance
Then he said that in their work
they have a very serious experience of working overtime
Then there are various treatment problems
After his submission
the local government responded quickly to check
who was submitting the manuscript
The result was not found out
Two days later, Liang Wujun
posted an article on their official website
to stabilize the morale of the army
Later he came to give us this feedback
Said that this did not catch him
Then he went on to reveal some things
This contribution is the one that left a deep impression on me
It made me feel that many people
He may work within this system
He is not entirely because
he wants to depend on the system or something
He is just in the process of his life
For example, family arrangements
Or a life choice
Just go in
Then after entering, he feels that he doesn't like it
Then he can't get out
Because it's worse outside
So he's in this
We actually received a lot of submissions like this
And there were even employees who broke the news about Great Wall Motors
In fact, it provides military parts to Russia.
It was the submission from Niu Ma
We received a lot of unbelievable things
Some people even said that I wanted to expose this leader with his real name
And after we hid his name, he was still unwilling
They asked why you want to hide my name
I just want to go with my real name
This is really interesting
I really want to chat with you who submitted the article
What I find very interesting about this is
It actually connects everyone together
And it really makes everyone start to feel that they have the possibility of having a voice
Then in the past
Similar situation
They have to take a big risk
For example, if they want to say something on Maimai
In fact, they can quickly find out who they are
For example, on Xiaohongshu, there are also many people in the system complaining every day
I am a worker in the system in such and such a place
Then we are so tired
Then a group of people below said, sister, I am too
This situation is relatively common in China
But we have provided a new way
Or a new platform
Let everyone talk about some things that cannot be said in China
Well
And you have organized it
so that everyone can form a bigger picture
That kind of complaint is called random
It is more random
Right
Netizens all meet together
Let’s just complain
But what about you
Can give everyone a bigger picture
What kind of companies are they
What kind of work
In fact, it is really a variety of manufacturing industries
What else is there, Pinduoduo, are you hungry?
We have everything, right?
When I look at hospitals and even the operator PetroChina
I feel that there are very, very few people who don’t work overtime in the country
Yes, yes
Yes, I think it shows a common state of everyone
Then what common emotions can you experience from these submissions
...
Is it patience, numbness, anger
Or is there a strong desire to change?
It is due to information censorship
We are on the Internet in China today
It is actually difficult to see the thoughts of a large number of ordinary Chinese people
Or the common thoughts of a large number of Chinese people
Not to mention the discussion
From your contribution
It may not necessarily be limited to these two projects
Do you think ordinary people are interested in collective action
To change the living environment
Do they still have this expectation?
What kind of help do you think they need most?
I think if we look at it from the surface
Whether it is students or these workers
In fact, everyone generally has a desire for respite
That is, they hope to take more rest to take a breath
But on a deeper level
My personal feeling is
In fact, what everyone shows is their desire for dignity and respect
What everyone really hopes is that they can be treated like a human being
That is, I am a worker
I enjoy an eight-hour working day
What I hope is that I have insurance
I have five insurances and one housing fund
I am a dignified citizen
What many submissions show in the end
This is the emotion I see at a deep level
This is why everyone laughs at themselves as bullshit
Not to be taken seriously
Yes, that's right
Well
In fact, the same is true for students
In fact, they just hope they have a weekend to rest
But if they hope to have a weekend off, they are considered to be inciting subversion
or provoking trouble.
So this is a very, very, very unreasonable thing
So under this situation
I think ordinary people have very high expectations for collective action or changing the living environment
I think they have very high expectations
Not just these two projects
In fact, from Douyin or Xiaohongshu
We usually collect various public opinions
We also see many people
who hope to get some changes
Of course it is. Another slightly pessimistic point is
Everyone may think that my own life can be a little better
Of course, it is understandable for most people to think so
More generally speaking
In fact, for everyone
it seems that they don’t know what to do
Or how to change
I don’t know what method
Do we really want to overthrow the Communist Party
Or say we are going to revolt
It is what was very popular on Douyin some time ago
It means we are going to revolt or something
We want to start a business
Yes He didn’t say uprising
They said starting a business
That’s right
Do we want to start a business
I think for everyone
Everyone generally feels that change is needed
But they don’t have any ideas
Because path dependence has been too serious over the years
No one thinks that the Communist Party can be overthrown
or that this society can be changed
Yes
This kind of imagination does not exist
As long as they cannot see this possibility
This is a place that I feel more regretful
For me
Compared with other aspects,
the most important thing is the cultivation of citizen consciousness
It is necessary for everyone to have more confidence
Have more awareness
Realize that you can not be a slave but a citizen
Of course
This is actually a very long process
What can be done overseas
In this regard
I think people need to form a stronger opposition alliance
Then pay more attention to the human condition in the country
And then be able to help them speak out
On the other hand
it actually allows more people in the country
to build such a sense of citizenship
I think these may be two of the more important things at the moment
It is also something I started to do independently after my transformation
You have received so many submissions
How do you judge the authenticity of the submitted content
Will there be any fake or disruptive content?
Is there anyone who doubts that you are fake?
Are there many such doubts?
In fact, this question has always existed
I think people who don’t believe it don’t believe it no matter what
Disbelief itself is part of the feeling of powerlessness
He just feels that there is no way for individuals to shake this centralized power
Then he thinks that the power of ordinary people is small
But then again, what about
In fact, we have not encountered so many obstacles in terms of authenticity
Everyone filled in these answers very sincerely
There will also be troublemakers
For example, in our initial form
someone even serialized this pornographic novel
There is even an erotic novel about me and Toronto's square face
It's very outrageous
Fan fiction
That's right
What are these people thinking
Do you think this is a spontaneous behavior
Or a government organization
It was spontaneous at first
At the beginning, some people may hate this matter
They feel that what we do is not what they want
For many such people on the Internet
And later on, we were also attacked by the government
I made a post a few days ago
That is, our cattle and horses received a lot of junk submissions
About a few per second
But it actually has no impact on us
I already have a review team of about 15 people
Divided into table AB
After the review is completed, it will be sent to table A
The troublemakers are actually easier to distinguish
Why?
Because for example, you are like some people
He may be a government troll
When he wants to submit an article,
he will not submit the kind of content that is fake.
Because if he submits this content and we send it out,
and everyone spreads rumors
and causes some social problems.
That is not what they want.
Of course, we have no way to guarantee that there will be no errors 100%
There will definitely still be errors
But we believe that we are still generally presenting a
The true state of China's student groups and working people at the moment
Yeah, right
Then the new semester will start in March this year
Many high schools in the country have begun to implement the weekend system
Many media are also blowing the news
Say they want to give high school weekends a thumbs up
Do you think that this kind of change is driven by the time-out learning project?
Or is it not that much related?
In fact, when I was a child,
already had such a document.
It just requires weekend breaks.
...
...
...
We have been talking about reducing the burden on students for many years
This is the one time it has been fulfilled
I think everyone is aware of it
The role of 611 actually has a complete context
From the first schools on the list that filled out 611.ICU to notify the postponement of the start of school
Then to the general issuance of documents in various places requesting the postponement of the start of school
And then to the nationwide cancellation of evening self-study during weekends
Including the schools on the list were publicly notified by the Education Bureau because of the public opinion
...
Some schools explicitly asked students not to go over the wall to fill in the form
Even the principal directly said at the flag-raising ceremony
It was because of us that caused the weekend break or something
On the other hand, I think it would be better if it was not our role
Why?
Because the education department across the country issued a document requiring the following school to have a weekend break
But the result
Now many local schools
What he resisted is the order of the Provincial Department of Education
He is still continuing to attend classes
Or he has resumed making up classes
It sounds like the following schools are resisting the Provincial Department of Education
This seems to be more serious
There are many schools, for example, at the parent-teacher meeting of Beihai Middle School in Guangxi
Wang Jiangang, the principal of Beihai Middle School, said
Mr. Li is not your teacher
This 611ICU overtime study project is an external factor that led to the sudden nationwide high school weekend after the Spring Festival
...
He also accused the students who had the courage to speak out to be traitors
What do you think of these criticisms
I think this mainly reflects the cowardice of the principal
He pushed his own responsibilities to foreign forces
This Wang Jiangang is the most typical example.
Within a few months after he arrived at the school, students continued to commit suicide.
Then he downplayed the suicide.
It was all because the student's own problems had nothing to do with me.
...
...
...
...
We post them all online
Send them to you
Listen to their students
This principal no longer dares to curse people
According to your website
Both projects are supported by $Li coins
When you and your colleagues issued $Li coins in December last year
it caused a lot of controversy
For example, some critics said
You regard anti-communism as a business to cut leeks
Have you ever thought that there would be such serious doubts
Now do you have anything to say to our audience
This matter itself is actually quite devastating to me
...
Then when the overwhelming public opinion comes
Even if you have done nothing
You are not as those people say
But everyone thinks
If you don't do this
Why do you do this
For me at the time
it was indeed a very, very big blow
But looking back now
In fact, this incident made me stronger
It is through this incident
My personal feelings will be more than what I want to say to the public
I have proven what I have done to the public
So as for cutting leeks
Or how much money I earned
How much money was stolen
What about this part
It’s because I didn’t do it
Then these accounts are all there
If you know what I didn’t do, you must know that I didn’t do it
But there seems to be no use explaining the other things
In fact, my daily work now is completely different from the past two or three years
...
That is, I need to learn various things that I was resistant to in the past
At the same time, through these learnings, I have become stronger
And I think this thing actually surprised me the most
In fact, we have become a very powerful team now
In the past, this account was just a passive one to accept submissions
To reflect the issues raised by everyone
Now it is me who takes the initiative to set the issues
and then let the Communist Party take over
Just like the white paper interview last November
What I said is that since they are so afraid of me
then I have to find a way to touch them
You also know that I found that there is actually something that I have been
not willing to face
Even the Communist Party does not think that I am just a blogger
I have always thought that I am just a blogger
But the Communist Party does not think so
So they always attack me with the same intensity as they attack the opposition
When I am a blogger
I am actually a little unable to breathe
I have no way to resist that kind of pressure
But when I feel that I can be an opposition
Can I try to be an opposition?
Then when I become an opposition
In fact, I found that it seems like this
It seems that I can bear all these pressures
And if I can't bear it
I have a team behind me to help me bear it
I have a community behind me to help me fight it together
That means my power becomes even greater
Then let's talk about these two actions are called ICU mode
How would you summarize this model
Then what kind of similar plans will you make in the future
What is the meaning of ICU
As I just said
In fact, it means that you work until death or study until death
If you don't enter ICU
your destiny will not stop
It also shows a common situation among our contemporary Chinese people
That is, when you were a child, you were 611
When you grow up, you are 996
You either collapsed and entered the ICU when you were in school
or you collapsed and entered the ICU when you were working
So I think the word ICU is actually quite representative
If these two actions show the pattern
it is actually quite suitable for the Chinese system
Everyone hopes to achieve an effect at a very small cost
It is best not to bear the cost
In fact, I think many people may say that when we do 611
they will say that you are eating steamed buns with human blood from students.
In my opinion, this is not the case at all. Either being dropped out of school or expelled
...
...
...
...
...
...
or being suspended from classes
The individual cost is very high
Then the only option is to get an extra day off from one school or something
What's worse is that some students
may jump off buildings to give their classmates a holiday
Then through a model like 611
we actually aggregate schools across the country
Then each person submits one contribution
He does not need to tell us who he is
He only needs to show the situation of his school
It is one person submission
School holiday
You have received so many submissions
But in fact, each one is isolated and fragmented
Do you think these fragmented emotions
can continue to become a social force
It is this way of collecting anonymous contributions from individuals
What does it mean in China today
I think this is the current national situation
Everyone is facing such a totalitarian environment
Everyone would definitely prefer this kind of anonymous submission
Then I will bear most of the cost
Right
As far as I am concerned
The most important thing is that there are actually two parts.
First of all, I hope to break the common feeling of powerlessness among everyone
That is, everyone feels that they may not be able to do anything
Everyone will feel that there is no hope
There is no way to change
Then I have to face this kind of life
Face this kind of work
But in fact it is not
In fact, your rights can be fought for
On the other hand, for our next generation
I hope they can realize from the time they are students
They can fight for their right to rest
and they must fight for it
So when they are students
because of such an act of fighting for rights, after they have such enlightenment
Then when they enter society
Maybe ten or twenty years later
they will also become the backbone of this society
By that time
I think we may also be in a more promising era
Another most important issue
is that what I hope to show is not only to show everyone’s situation to the people in China
but also to all the dissidents like me
Or those potential opponents
Or some current bloggers like me to see it
We dissidents may not only be Internet bloggers
Let's do this after-dinner entertainment program
We can also become the opposition
We can also influence China
We can also do some practical attention and change some things
So I think the current situation
The entire environment
Whether at home or abroad
There is a general feeling of powerlessness
It seems that you can't change anything
You can only let it go
Then I will moisturize it
While criticizing him
I will live my own life
This is my life
In other words, even if I do some social movements
I do this from a very powerless state deep in my heart
But it’s not the case
What I always hope to be able to show is that
even if I am an ordinary person like me
then I can burst out some huge energy
and make some changes
Then those who are more talented
more powerful
and more prestigious than me
can actually have the opportunity to do more
In this era
When the whole world is getting more and more chaotic
Maybe everyone should realize
We may do something different next
It has been about five years since the epidemic
We don’t have many five years to wait
I was not yet thirty years old
Then I am thirty-two or thirty-three now
How many more years may it take
In the end, will I be the same as those of the 1980s and 1990s?
I just come out to give speeches every year
Let’s commemorate this
Let’s build a white paper sports memorial hall or something like this
Do you want this
I don’t want this
I’m not saying how they are
I just say I don’t want it
In the end, my life will be like this
Many times, people may have misunderstandings
Oops, you guys came out
You are in a safe place
Then you do these things
But in fact, because of these things
many people are unable to live a normal life
For example, the place where I worked before
got a letter from the embassy
Including people like Square Face in Toronto
He also had people looking for his residence in Canada every day
Or when I was in Italy before
they also sent the mafia to arrest you.
There is no way to return to the original life
Or what everyone imagined
You come out and find a class
Isn't it good to live a normal life
Why do you keep doing this
And because he doesn't want you to live a normal life
He just wants to use this method to punish you
But from another perspective
I just need to hit the keyboard
Then they need to expend a lot of energy
human, financial and material resources to solve a problem
I will definitely make a profit
A guaranteed profit
Even now is this time
Someone came in and took me away
I think I am also a winner
Because I have caused enough damage to them
Yes They have used so many resources, right
...
Sometimes I feel really baffled
That's why this country
You just post and talk online
Then you will become inciting to subvert state power
You have to pay the price
I think it is very unreasonable
But if you think about it from another angle
It's not that you are afraid of them
It's because they are afraid of you
That's why he does this
They are afraid of a post on the Internet
Afraid of a comment
Afraid of a video
So they show more terror
So that you don't notice their fear
But in fact it is them who are really afraid
I also want to ask
Just say whether this environment has changed or not.
There is also the difficulty of spreading this.
For example, we talked about
the 996 ICU project 6 years ago.
There were still many Chinese media reports at that time.
...
...
...
...
...
It's a pity in itself
It's because of the more extreme scenery of the domestic Internet
...
Our 611
You can't find it at all in China
And even after we killed Wang Jiangang
some of Wang Jiangang's posts could not be found
This is of course a challenge
But on the other hand
Our influence can be so great
In fact, it means that
more and more people are circumventing the firewall
This is also an observation of mine
It seems that recently
Twitter has become more and more lively
Everyone has made this place more and more like Weibo in the past
Everything will be speculated on it
In fact, it also means
Even if you control the domestic Internet
to the extreme
but for everyone
you still need to find new outlets
So if there are some things
it really cannot be blocked
So we are just waiting for that node
In my opinion, this is the case
We ask each guest to recommend three books
or film and television works
What do you recommend?
I might recommend a set of books from the Translation Series of Masterpieces on the Study of World Political Parties
called "The Iron Law of Oligarchy" and "Politics, Political Parties and Pressure Groups (Part 1 and 2)"
For those who want to learn some introductory politics
This may be a better book
Then there is another book that our entire community
is currently studying collectively
Its name is
"Chinese Communist Intelligence Organization and Espionage"
Your community is learning collective learning
It's so interesting
Why
Yes, because as our community grows
and we have suffered more attacks recently
so we are collectively learning
how to fight against some anti-infiltration and counter-reconnaissance
If you are a young person who aspires to become an anti-thief
You can start from these two books
It's so interesting
Of course there is the last book
We don't understand the book "Don't Understand" produced by the podcast
Thank you
I don't think I understand what the podcast has been saying
It actually presents many different voices from a different angle
...
Let these ordinary people have a chance
Have a platform to tell their stories
Telling their voices
I really like this channel very much
I also hope we don’t understand that podcasts are getting better and better
Thank you Teacher Li
We define ourselves as a news podcast
News must be true
I am particularly jealous of Teacher Li
You have so many people submitting articles to you
No matter these students or these people who work overtime
This is what I particularly want to achieve
I want to hear their stories again
I also hope they can come and listen to the Ununderstood Podcast
I hope there will be more listeners in the future
There are also these people who contributed to Teacher Li
They can come and tell us their own stories
Enhance everyone's understanding of Chinese society
And understand this kind of personal situation in China
In fact, this personal experience
is actually very, very important
Everyone's experience is unique
but it also has a certain degree of representativeness
I have always been troubled by this matter
Although I have talked about many submissions
there is no way to make them into more detailed programs
Because for them
Everyone is still afraid
But I think you are scared
You don't want to say it now
But I think there should be a way
to record your own experience
Your own situation can be recorded
When you have the opportunity, you can show it again
We need to fight against some so-called correct memories
That is, the CCP has been emphasizing a kind of correct memory
For example, the epidemic has turned into a great victory in three years
But those who have experienced these three years know
What these three years mean
How much have we lost
How much damage have we suffered
Right
So this part
It shouldn't become a short sentence of great victory in the history textbook
Everyone's story is unique
I also have a story about me
Then Sister Yuan Li has another story about her
The individual memory of each of us is the most precious
In fact, when put together, it becomes a complete historical blueprint
Yes
This is indeed my idea
I just hope that more people are willing to tell
We record our experience at this moment
It is really the script of history
Our news is the script of history
Thank you
Thank you Teacher Li
Thank you everyone for listening
See you next time
