At the beginning, reporter Chai Jing stirred the public opinion field because of a documentary "Under the Dome". From the perspective of public health, the truth and root causes of smog and the governance process of inaction of relevant departments are described.
Chai Jing has aroused public concern about the environment.
This film was quickly banned by the whole network, and Chai Jing was basically banned by the media. Because the contents revealed by documentaries are changing the public's cognition of environmental pollution and changing the media environment where the truth is always covered up. Compared with those who dare not report or report in a perfunctory way, this change requires great courage. From the beginning of this idea, to the process of making this documentary at her own expense, and then to the broadcast of the documentary, it is hard to imagine the pressure, fear and pain she suffered. This is her unique courage to change reality.
Look at Tan Qindong, who reported Hongmao medicinal liquor, and the official WeChat account that exposed the truth of fire treatment. They are all changing the status quo and taking great risks, and these changes undoubtedly require great courage.
How many people are used to foggy days and will exclaim when they see the blue sky? This is something to celebrate. Isn't it normal for people to live under a blue sky? Why is this happening?
Because we have internalized and accepted the reality that the environment is poisoning us. It doesn't matter. Everyone is fine, and I will be fine. After all, a few people have cancer. Just don't buy Hongmao medicinal liquor. It's not me who suffers, nor is it my family.
As an individual, it is too risky to change the inherent old model.
It takes more courage to change reality than to accept it.
