When talking about the United States, people often focus on technology, finance, and democracy. However, China's system and culture also have unique characteristics and advantages.
Over the decades, the gap between China and the United States has narrowed, proving the effectiveness of both systems and cultures. However, the courage that Americans embody is a quality that modern Chinese need.
The United States is martial, and they regard military service as honor, a tradition that is still preserved today. Take, for example, Pearl Harbor, when Lyndon Johnson volunteered to serve on the front lines and participated in the Pacific War.
In one battle, his bomber was destroyed, and he was the only one who survived. Similarly, two Kennedy brothers were involved in the Pacific War. Among them, Joseph Kennedy Jr. was killed, and John F. Kennedy's ** was sunk by the Japanese army. He fought with a wounded man in the water for 14 hours before escaping to a desert island.
Similarly, Bush Sr. joined the Navy as the son of a senator and flew 58 combat missions against Japan. Although modern society has moved away from war, the courage that many Americans have shown in their daily lives is still to be admired.
The United States has introduced many superhuman characters, and these supermen often have superhuman abilities, able to protect the weak, punish the evil and promote the good. These superhuman images largely reflect American society's admiration for individual heroism and the spirit of freedom. In American culture, individualism is seen as an important value, and it is believed that each person has their own unique abilities and potentials to achieve their goals through hard work and struggle.
The image of Superman is the embodiment of this spirit of individualism, who not only possesses superpowers, but also has strong conviction and courage, willing to fight for justice and truth. For example, in the American Marvel series of film and television works, Superman has a close relationship with the spirit of courage.
They face a criminal syndicate that is difficult for ordinary people to match, and even have great abilities, but Superman always maintains the pursuit of justice and the protection of the weak. They dare to face difficulties and challenges, defy difficulties and obstacles, and strive to protect world peace and human welfare. This spirit of courage is exactly what American society admires, and it is one of the reasons why the image of Superman is widely welcomed.
In China, on the other hand, there are relatively few movies with similar themes. This may have something to do with the cultural and social context of China. Chinese society focuses on collectivism and discipline, emphasizing harmony, stability and order. In this cultural context, individual heroism and free spirit may be somewhat limited.
In addition, the Chinese film market is also relatively closed, with certain restrictions on the introduction and dissemination of foreign films. However, the success of the "Wolf Warrior" movie shows that Chinese audiences love works with heroism and courage. This movie is set in the background of the squadron and tells the courage and fighting spirit of a group of soldiers in the process of safeguarding national interests and people's security. The success of the film also reflects the importance that Chinese society attaches to patriotism and heroism.
Moreover, in Chinese culture, the understanding of bravery is usually not limited to risk-taking or violence. For example, Su Shi mentioned in "On Staying in the Marquis": "When the husband sees humiliation, he draws his sword and stands up and fights, which is not enough to be brave." There are great brave people in the world, who come suddenly without being surprised, and without being angry for no reason. "True bravery is not afraid of danger and difficulties, acting boldly and accomplishing things that others cannot or dare not accomplish.
And the Chinese's affirmation of great courage is based on wisdom, such as leaders like Liu Bang and Cao Cao, who are brave and decisive and can lead the team to success;And strategists like Zhang Liang and Guo Jia are wise and can give advice to the leader. The main difference between the two is their courage and wisdom.
It is good to be a strategist like Zhang Liang and Guo Jia, but courage is essential if you want to become a leader like Liu Bang and Cao Cao.
I am very happy that in the current self-first era, it is of great help to awaken the consciousness of the masses and protect their own rights and interests. No matter how small the unfairness is, it can be spread through the Internet, allowing the majority of netizens to supervise and comment, which undoubtedly brings hope to those who are in dire straits.
Let's take a recent incident, such as the 70-year-old man who was taken 1 ton of coal, and this topic was more intense than imagined.
Another example is the incident of the owner of the goods in Changde, Hunan Province, and there was another "Internet hot search" in Linli County, Hunan Province, which made people cry and laugh, which once again involved the passionate collision between public units and ordinary people. Although, the latest news is that the monitoring station paid Mr. Mu two baskets of oranges (200 yuan) + car rental transfer (600 yuan), a total of 800 yuan. At the same time, the penalty decision also came down: 2 staff members on duty were suspended. This looks like it's over......However, the common people don't agree, it's a big joke in the world!They continue to pay attention to the progress of the incident, waiting to see when the "Disappearing Orange" serious case will be solved
This is the power of self-esteem, the power of courage, the power of everyone to gather firewood, and the power of a spark to set the prairie on fire.
