Life is the most sacred and inviolable existence in the world. However, with the development of technology and civilization, the harm and destruction of other life by human beings are also increasing. In the information age, more and more celebrities have begun to speak out, calling on people to pay attention to and attach importance to the concept of "no killing".
In the entertainment industry, "don't kill" has become an emerging fashion. Countless artists have stated that they believe in Buddhism and do not eat any live animals;There are also those who argue that the cruelty of freshly killed ingredients should not be linked to food. Their remarks have sparked huge repercussions in society.
The reason for this is that the concept of "not killing" contains a little bit of Buddhist wisdom, which is arousing more and more public attentionAt the same time, it is also used by some celebrities as a marketing tool to shape their image. The interweaving of faith and commerce gives this trend complex sociological implications.
In recent years, "non-killing" and "vegetarianism" have become a trend in the entertainment industry, and many celebrities have expressed their stance in public, saying that they refuse to eat live animals. Most of them expressed their reverence and love for life on the grounds of religious belief or morality.
Among them, Buddhist culture has a great influence on the celebrity group. Buddhism advocates the equality of all beings, and believers hope to put it into practice through vegetarianism and realize the ideal of "not killing". In addition, influenced by humanitarian ideas, some celebrities choose vegetarian food because they think it is too cruel to eat animals that are killed alive.
Actress Yang Xue declares that she has been a vegetarian for decades because she can't stand killing animals to satisfy people's appetites. "All life is equal, and there is no distinction between man and animal. I want to live my way of life in a way that truly lives up to the credo of 'all beings are equal'. She said. Yang Xue's remarks have a wide impact, and they have also prompted other celebrities to join the ranks of "not killing", hoping to drive more people to change through their influence.
Coincidentally, this trend is also blowing in the culinary circle. Some chefs have come to advocate that live and live kills should not be present in the cuisine, because live animals secrete toxins when they are slaughtered, which affects the deliciousness and safety of the ingredients. This has found a new theoretical basis for the "non-killing" folk of celebrities. For a time, "not killing" became a popular topic and swept every corner of society.
Following this trend, the various "non-killing" statements of vegetarians in the entertainment industry have also become the focus of attention from the outside world. They either strictly follow the creed, or they have an ambiguous attitude, showing different faces.
Singer Chen Kun made it clear in an interview that he never eats any live animals, which is the inevitable choice of his faith. "I've seen too many live animals tortured to death, bleeding and crying, just like people. I couldn't stand this, so I chose a vegetarian diet. Chen Kun's words revealed a deep sense of humanity. This also touched many listeners, who expressed in the comment area that they wanted to join the ranks of "vegetarianism" and follow in the footsteps of their idols.
Director Feng Xiaogang even bluntly said that he could not accept the cruelty reflected in Cantonese cuisine, which caused a certain controversy. "Why do you want to throw a live lobster into a hot soup pot and fry it?Obviously there is a more humane approach, isn't it?It's so cruel!He poured out his thoughts in a blog post. Many netizens bluntly said that it was difficult to agree with his point of view, saying that the cooking method of ingredients should not consider too many "humane" factors.
However, Faye Wong's vegetarian path is more realistic. She loves to eat boiled fish, but under the influence of Buddhism, she can't bear to kill. So every time she thinks about the good fortune, she asks the restaurant to blanch the "dead fish" again. Faye Wong's approach is closer to life, which makes it easier to be accepted by the public.
"Don't kill" also has its own interpretation in the culinary world - killing is not very relevant to food. Sichuan celebrity chef Shi Zhengliang believes that killing and killing alive only satisfies some people's "sense of deprivation" and has nothing to do with deliciousness. Even the large amount of toxins secreted by animals when they are slaughtered need to be excreted through freezing.
Chef Shi's **, chef Yu Peng also said that the highest ethics of a first-class chef is not to kill and live creatures. "We are looking for the freshness and crispiness of the ingredients, not the excitement of the body. Angry slaughter will only make the ingredients cruel and lifeless. ”
This is not only for safety and hygiene reasons, but also for religious beliefs - not only are these ingredients difficult to domesticate and degrade toxins, but eating them as "spiritual objects" may attract retribution. In the culinary world, this voice has gained widespread recognition.
As a result, there are similar voices in culinary circles, calling on chefs to think more for diners and provide safe, clean, and humane food, rather than indulging in the brutal experience of killing alive. This may have an impact on the "no-killing" trend in society.
The concept of "not killing" has gradually penetrated into the corporate culture of catering. More and more food manufacturers claim to use humanely slaughtered ingredients in their dishes. Cruel scenes should not be linked to food, this is the consensus of the industry.
"Don't kill" has sparked heated discussions among celebrities, not without reason. Buddhist culture has a wide and far-reaching influence in the entertainment industry, and vegetarianism can become a manifestation of faith;At the same time, it is gradually being used by celebrities as a means to shape their personalities.
For example, actor Yang Mi, as a devout Buddhist, she chose to endure the pain of being bitten by insects during filming rather than kill a single insect;But at the same time, Yang Mi, who is calm and decisive in front of the camera, is also in line with the impression and positioning of the public in their hearts.
Therefore, the interweaving between belief and personality makes many celebrities also have a certain degree of consideration and calculation in the matter of "not killing". Faced with the choice between "killing" and "not killing", their attitude is not entirely based on selfless belief experience, and sometimes the consideration of commercial packaging seems to be larger.
This has led to a rift in the words and deeds of some celebrities in this matter. Netizens joked that their performance of "not killing a single worm, but eating seven crabs" was too dramatic. Celebrities may need to find a better balance between business and faith. Only then will their "non-killing" proposition be more down-to-earth and recognized by the public.
Of course, as public figures, the words and deeds of celebrities often attract attention and interpretation, and "not killing" has also become one of the topics that has been magnified and examined. We should not be overly harsh, but continue to focus on their commitment to this belief.
"Don't kill" is gaining more and more people's recognition at present, it contains humanitarian feelings, and also reflects that Buddhist culture is gradually taking root in the hearts of the people. However, faith is not superficial, it needs to be constantly tested in daily life. No matter what the starting point is, only the attitude of life that is consistent with words and deeds can finally embody the true meaning of "not killing".
Celebrities will eventually face a choice, whether it is a commercial tool or a lifelong choice of faith. We'll see. Whatever the outcome, the idea of "no-killing" has quietly changed our food culture.
