Not corrupt, not steadfast

In the football corruption case that has just been announced, there is a plot that makes people laugh and cry.

In order to surpass, Huaxia Happiness invited Li Tie. After Li Tie took office, the last eight games of the season played a magical wave of "eight consecutive wins". In the last game against Shenzhen Yuheng Club, in order to ensure the victory, Huaxia Happiness spent 14 million yuan. The official level of Shenzhen Yuheng Club agreed to release the water after accepting a huge amount of money. Li Tie's team felt uneasy, and found the opponent's main defender Li Fei. Li Fei offered 6 million yuan, saying that he would help them "play" a number of key players, and Huaxia Happiness agreed. However, this Li Fei didn't bother anyone, and he swallowed 6 million alone. After analysis, Li Fei believes that we can't kick them in the first place, and there is no need for fat water to flow out.

I was shocked by this incident several times. The first is the most insignificant, but I still want to say that although we live in the same society and use the same kind of renminbi in the same era, the same amount of money is a completely different concept for different people.

The second shock is that I am reminded of the story of Seon's lost horse. Li Fei thought he had made a windfall, but he didn't expect to swallow the bomb. Le Fay's teammates should be thanking him. If they also fell overboard in other cases, when I didn't say.

The third shock is that you still have to cheat when you don't have to cheat, and you don't feel comfortable being corrupt, how did you develop this mentality? Li Tie himself said that the black-box operation "became a habit, and even a little bit of dependence later." ”

Man is a very adaptable animal and often overadapts. When you're in a corrupt environment, under a twisted set of game rules, you'll have to adapt to the rules in order to survive and win. After adapting, this kind of rule will occupy you, control you, become your sense of security, and even become your life. If we look at corruption as a market, a large part of the money that goes back and forth in this market is used to maintain the operation of the market itself, in addition to the demands of both sides. That is, there is a lot of money, and whether to send it or not does not affect the result at all, but it will still be sent out. There will even be some money that will be bad after it is sent, but the person concerned will still send it driven by inner insecurity.

Not corrupt, not steadfastThat's the power of culture. The culture of corruption is also a culture. Everything that exists has a strong need to prove itself. Therefore, this kind of corrupt redundancy in Li Tie is inevitable in the system.

There is a phenomenon in the field of corruption, that is, there are more people from the bottom, and many people cry bitterly when they arrive in the dock, "I am the son of a peasant". There are many explanations for this phenomenon, and here is an explanation from a cultural perspective.

People from the bottom have very simple social relations since childhood, and they have no training in receiving people and things, and they have no intuitive feelings about the operation of various unspoken rules and gray areas. When they enter the officialdom, the intellectual structure and emotional structure have been set. Even if they are psychologically willing to embrace a new culture, they tend to be blunt when it comes to hands, and it is difficult to be comfortable with them.

What's more, this latent culture is also changing. What works in one period becomes ineffective in the next, and the gray area may become a taboo zone. A newbie barges in, sees only something at one time and one place, and feels like he has grasped the standard answer. At this time, it is easy to use too much force. Those who survive in the system for a long time will be more sensitive to changes in water temperature and water flow, and they will have more information channels, so they will move to a safer location as soon as possible.

In view of the popularity of "shore study" in the past two years, it is necessary to give a practical advice to aspiring young people: do not treat corruption as a one-shot deal of "going out and doing one vote". Systems are complex, diverse, ambiguous, and constantly changing. Survival is a skill, and its success or failure must be considered for a long time. That's all there is to say, figure it out for yourself.

My mother has been looking forward to me being an official since I was very young, and she has been talking about it lately. This time, I simply told her that if she became an official, she might have been arrested. She said, can't you be a clean official? I said, what's the point of that?

I think that although I was dull about a lot of things, I developed a sensitivity to certain things very early.
