What I'm not interested in about this incident is Messi himself – we all know Messi, and in the past, we called him the king of the ball with good character, and apart from this trip to Miami China, Messi has no fault worthy of criticism.
It is worth paying attention to the rising national sentiment in the country. Messi was criticized as "Yo Xi" simply because the next stop after leaving Hong Kong was Tokyo, Japan, a title that had spread all over the Internet before Messi even played. I cannot deny that the confrontation between Mei Fan and Luo Fan has exacerbated this "crisis" to a certain extent, and once it can involve the nation, people who hate Messi will inevitably impose Messi's body on charges such as "insulting China" - because "pro-Japanese" and "insulting China" are equivalent to sentencing a person to death in Chinese mainland.
But as far as I know, if Messi is inclined to insult China, why hasn't he shown anything before this incident? Drawing Messi P as the Japanese army invading China is equivalent to pronouncing him a fascist, as if Messi is a fascist lurking in world football and making money in China for many years.
However, anyone who has a certain degree of judgment will not look at Messi in a divided way, Messi is not mutated into a "Roar", nor is it a hidden "Roar".
What I want to emphasize is not what kind of person Messi is, but the attitude of the Chinese people towards Japanese fascism and the abuse of national sentiment behind this. The Japanese people were also victims of the war of aggression against China, and the faults of the ruling class were borne by the ordinary people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in physical ashes – while the Japanese emperor was unharmed.
The abusive national sentiment is undoubtedly synonymous with the rise of fascism. As long as the original sin of a nation is pronounced, then the extermination of all innocent people is also indisputable. This is vividly manifested in this incident - national sentiment has become a tool to crush plum powder, anyone who likes Messi will be regarded as a traitor, it is hard to imagine that under such overwhelming extreme emotions, if there is a group of loud extremists in the future Silk Country, kidnapping the collective people with national sentiments, claiming that "those who do this are traitors", or "those who do not do this are traitors", then how many people will embark on the road of fascism.
Messi's ultra-high standard of treatment is also suspicious. Around the world, Hong Kong's welcoming ceremonies are also extremely pompous. However, Messi himself does not appreciate it, whether he is used to seeing such a high-standard treatment or he cares more about the team and despises the individual, it is a slap in the face of Hong Kong's top brass and a disregard for Hong Kong bureaucrats. So, Messi's cold reception of fans and bureaucrats, shimo watch.
Some people criticize Messi for "not just playing football", and it is not appropriate to compare it with some unpopular dramas, after all, there are few people in the world who are as influential as Messi - before that, Messi delivered all positive influences. But it is still inappropriate to define Messi's identity as a "good person" or "football king", Messi himself is a propertied person, the child from a poor family in Rosario, Argentina has achieved a class leap, he is a member of the European and American bourgeoisie, and it is people like Huo Qigang who welcome Messi.
Messi's performance directly reflects the contempt of the European and American bourgeoisie for the bourgeoisie in the distant Silk Country. However, of course, these people in the Silk Kingdom have something to say, because they can speak on behalf of the people, although there are only 40,000 people present, once the people are involved, it will be a matter of 1.4 billion people. As a result, the number of people who worship Huo Qigang has grown rapidly, and this person has also asked for the people's lives many times, and has become a "national hero". He himself posted a number of generous statements on the domestic WB, but only posted a text written in Chinese on Instagram, which was obviously only a symbolic "question".
If you are sincere about the people, you will not make a big deal about a visit by a foreign athlete. If the so-called extravagance and waste are gone, the essence of this incident is only that Rio Messi may not be able to play due to injury, and I am sorry that only the fans who came to watch the game, and what is the sin for not shaking hands with senior bureaucrats - in my opinion? Could it be that the people really think that the bureaucracy is the face of the country?
If the cost of the cumbersome welcome ceremony is returned to the people and the consumption of the fans, wouldn't it be meixi shijian?
