Awakening first emphasizes that he understands the restrictions on navigation, supports investigation and isolation, and resolutely supports national policies, and will never undermine the hard-won achievements of the motherland in fighting the epidemic. However, he believes that when discussing this topic, we should reduce the use of some emotional words and make clear what is reasonable risk and what is accident.
Take basketball as an example, if you are injured in the process, it is a reasonable risk; However, it was an accident that the ball was struck by lightning and the stadium collapsed. For overseas students stranded abroad, the outbreak of the epidemic was an unexpected accident:
Thirdly, Awakening believes that online public opinion should not deconstruct people's "purpose" of going abroad: "Anyone who lives, studies or works abroad by relying on the wealth and ability gained by his honest labor does not touch morality and law, nor is it necessarily related to patriotism." Awakening said that it is an ugly intention to speculate on the motivation of international students to go abroad under dangerous circumstances.
In the long microblog, Awakening also mentioned his previous experience of studying in Australia and returning to China.
It is understood that on April 7, 2020, the awakened Weibo revealed that he would return to China from the United States and be quarantined for 14 days. According to online news, the woman got pregnant shortly after he got back together with his ex-girlfriend Liao last year. This time she went to America because her girlfriend gave birth in Los Angeles. However, Awakening did not respond to this speculation.
Awakening Weibo full text:
As we all know, international passenger flights are still subject to policy restrictions. The issue of returning overseas students to China has been discussed on the Internet. I want to say something. I want to express my personal views here, even though I may be criticized.
First of all, I understand navigation restrictions, support investigation and isolation, and resolutely support national policies, and will never undermine the hard-won achievements of the motherland in fighting the epidemic.
I don't think such malicious words with emotions and prejudice as "coming back to make trouble" and "poisoning thousands of miles" are worth arguing and discussing, and I am glad that most people care and support international students. I just have a strong dislike and disagreement with one point in the rhetoric of those who are unwilling to accept international students, that is, "if you choose to study abroad, you must be responsible for your choice and bear the risks brought by your choice." In my opinion, this is quite an asshole logic.
I think some people need to figure out what is reasonable risk and what is accident.
For example, you went to play basketball today and poked your hand and twisted your foot. This is a reasonable risk, or a normal risk, of playing basketball. It is a situation that every golfer often encounters, and it is a "normal" possibility attached to the matter itself. If it happens, there is nothing to say. You can say, "If you choose to play ball, you have to take the risk of injury." . But today, you were hitting the ball with lightning, and the stadium collapsed. Should the smashed person be sent to the hospital quickly? Can you say to a person, "If you choose to play ball, you have to bear the risk of the collapse of the stadium"? The collapse of the building is a foreseeable and reasonable risk. It was an accident.
The outbreak of the epidemic is also an unforeseen accident. When international students choose to go abroad, the reasonable risks they face should be difficulties in adapting to life, cultural differences, uncertain employment prospects and even racial discrimination that may occur at any time. This is the psychological preparation and potential risk they should take at the moment they step out of the country, not the risk of foreign epidemics.
I don't want to talk about the legitimate demands and rights of citizens here, nor do I want to analyze the "purpose" of people going abroad.
In fact, anyone who lives, studies or works abroad with the wealth and ability gained by his honest labor does not touch morality and law, nor does it necessarily have anything to do with patriotism. However, the phrase "you didn't come back when the epidemic broke out in the motherland, and now you are not qualified to add chaos to the country" can hammer you to pieces on the Internet.
I am a person who has worked in the society for more than ten years and has a relatively high income. I am also an adult who can afford high-priced air tickets. More than a month ago, I bought a plane ticket at a price four times higher than usual, followed all the prescribed epidemic prevention procedures, tried to avoid "adding chaos" to the motherland, and finally took my family back to China.
In fact, except for the well-off international students, most children from ordinary families are still overseas. In fact, under the current policy situation, the cost of returning these international students to China is already high and the conditions are very harsh. Many of them have been canceled too many times, some people are still unable to return to China after wandering around the international airport, and many of them have unfortunately become victims of the game between countries.
I feel that there are too many aspects to be avoided in this passage, so I will not expand it.
How to change this situation is not that we wait for actors to tell us what to do. I just want to speak for international students, calling for a more relaxed and inclusive public opinion environment, not to mention whether they are willing to serve the motherland or not, and what was the motivation for studying abroad at the beginning. I think as long as they apply legally and reasonably and go through the formalities of studying abroad, there is nothing to question, whether for their personal future or for national construction. This is something supported by national policies. It is an ugly intention to guess students' motives in a dangerous situation.
I am also an international student. I studied in Australia for seven years. I admit that when I wrote this article, some of my feelings and emotions came from my own experience, but more because international students are a relatively weak group that needs help at this time. In fact, there are some mothers who have given birth to children, and some elderly people who are sick and waiting for medical treatment. These people are relatively weak in both economy and mobility. This period should be more acceptable and encouraged by domestic public opinion.
Of course, as an ordinary citizen, he has no ability and qualification to make suggestions on complex international, diplomatic and social issues. But I think that at home, we can at least send more rational and kind voices to them who are drifting overseas.
Thirdly, I understand the restriction of navigation, support the investigation and isolation, and resolutely support the national policy, and will never undermine the hard-won achievements of the motherland in fighting the epidemic.
The plight of international students has been around for some time, and I wanted to write something at that time, but it was very embarrassing. At that time, students who were married and had children had not returned to China for fear of causing discussion. Now that I'm back, I can't help talking about it. I can't pretend to be noble, I'm just a coward who takes care of himself first. However, if you want to take good care of yourself for a long time, I'm afraid it's not just your own problem: everything has nothing to do with yourself, and ultimately you have to care about yourself.
I just feel that if there are more nagging cowards around than quiet ones, this society may have more positive voices and motivation for progress.
I wish the overseas students who have not returned to China healthy and safe and reunite with their families as soon as possible.
