Famous CCTV host of an entertainment program Bi Fujian made a joke at a private dinner table on Mao Zedong. In this one minute audio of him adapting a popular excerpt from a well known piece of Peking Opera, what he said about Mao Zedong was “don’t mention that old f*** anymore, he had really screwed us hard”. The new director of CCTV ordered a temporary hold of his show.
An article from Gongshiwang that has attracted more than 10,000 hits after a day writes:
We could see from a deeper level that people like Old Bi all behave like this. Those sacked corrupted officials are also like this - they behave one way in front of you and another way behind your back. All those officials are the same, they all behave differently due to different situations and they all have split personalities.Therefore it brings out the understanding crisis and trust crisis in this society. We need to reflect on who do we trust in this society. Our political ideology has been this way - it has made people have split characters.
从更深层面看，老毕这个层面的人，私下都是这样的，而我们看到的那些已经出事的贪官，都是表面一套背后一套，所有出事的贪官都是表里不一，都是人格分裂。因此这引起我们对这个社会的认识危机和信任危机，我们这个社会究竟相信谁，进而反思，我们的思想政治教育难道都是这样的，都是把人教成了表里不一。
Bao Pengshan: 鲍鹏山 is allegedly a professor at Shanghai Open University (couldn’t find his name from the University website - its system is not the most well-organized). He is a lecturer at CCTV’s popular TV program Lecture Room (百家讲坛). He also contributes to the China Confucius Foundation.
1, For a cultured person, you will find that his life force is very strong. He is not cold, but is filled with passion and compassion. His perspective on this world is full of love and poeticness.
1,一个有文化的人，你会发现他的生命力是非常旺盛的。他不是冷冰冰的，而是富有激情、情怀，对这个世界充满了爱和诗意的眼光。
2, But today, we could see that in our education from primary school, middle school to university, mostly students are only taught of knowledge, technology and skills, but there is just no culture. We have nurtured many sophisticated egoists, and many well-educated savage. They are very cold.
可是今天，我们从中小学到大学的教育，更多的是在教知识、技术、专业，唯独缺少文化。我们培养了很多精致的利己主义者，很多高学历的野蛮人，他们是冷冰冰的。
3, I have written an article titled Be Careful of Knowledge. The main idea is that we can’t master unlimited knowledge within our limited lifespan. What’s more tragic is that boring knowledge will just make one’s life more boring; fragmented knowledge will make people more fragmented, or even obscene.
3, 我曾写过一篇文章，题目是《警惕知识》。主要观点就是，我们的生命本来就不可能占有无限的知识。更可悲的是，无聊的知识会让人生变得无聊，琐碎的知识会让人格变得琐碎，甚至猥琐。
4, A problem in Chinese society today is that people lack a good sense of judgment. A problem of education in China is that people lack cultured nurturing. For example, to boycott Japanese products, many young people go on the street to smash their compatriots’ cars or even harm their compatriots’ bodies. They are hot blooded and think they are being patriotic, but actually they are damaging the country.
4, 今天中国社会的一个问题，就是缺乏判断力。中国教育的一个问题，就是缺乏文化素养。比如，为了抵制日货，很多年轻人走到大街上砸同胞的车，甚至伤害同胞的身体。他们带着一腔热血，以为在爱国，但实际上却是在“碍国”。
5, How come a well-intentioned and patriotic person will do things that would disturb the country and damage the image of Chinese people? What do they lack? Consciousness. Knowledge is power indeed. But I would like to tell people that consciousness is the direction. We often say that we will get beaten if we lag behind. But I would like to say that savageness invites invasion.
5, 为什么一个带着良好爱国热情的人，会去做妨碍国家、损伤中国人形象的事?他们缺少的是什么呢?良知。知识就是力量，但我要告诉大家，良知才是方向。我们常常说落后就要挨打，我还要告诉大家，野蛮也会招打。
但法治，在我看来，是整个社会有序的生活状态。用中国人最习惯的话讲，就是有规矩，方方面面都要有规矩。
是食品药品安全问题。这也要求更细致严格的法治。但对这个问题需要有更现实和透彻的理解。许多人认为，这些问题是中国人的道德败坏、衰退引发的。我认为这个判断基本错了。在我看来，中国人的道德水平其实基本没有什么大的波动，问题出在，先前绝大多数中国人生活在小群体中，那是人的道德情感和社区舆论压力通常就足以应对的。但如今中国的社会变革了，我们面对的是一个由极大数量陌生人构成的广大群体，我们原来的道德感已经没法强有力地指导我们面对这个广大市场的决策。人类从一开始是生活在小群体中，无论是在狩猎时代还是农耕时代，我们可能自发产生的责任感是爱我们的亲人。而当我们面对远方的不在见面的陌生消费者时，我们没法涌起这种在小群体中会自然发生的责任感。这只是人的一个特点，算不上是缺点，尽管在市场经济条件下会有种种弊端。
全面依法治国确实是中国社会发展的必须。从这一点看，这是一个政治性的决定，却又不只是出于政治的考量，而是基于中国经济生产方式转变、社会治理方式转变、社会转型做出的一个政治性判断，是针对中国的具体问题做出的政治性的决定。不是说法治很高大上，所以我们要全面法治，而是说，只要想把中国治好，就必须要解决这个问题。这个法治是市场经济的功能要求，是整个社会转型的要求。全体民众都需要社会更加法治，更加有序。
