Qin Lang, your homework has been found.
On January 16, the Internet celebrity blogger @thurman Mao Mou released **, saying that he brought back the winter vacation homework left in the toilet from a hotel in Paris. The whole network is looking for people, and "Qin Lang of the eighth class a year" is on fire. The incident rushed to the hot search on various platforms, and then became magical.
An IP shows that the account in Jiangsu claims to be the uncle of "Qin Lang", revealing that "Qin Lang" is studying in the eighth class of Xichang Primary School, and went to the bookstore to buy new winter vacation homework for his nephew. Since then, a number of Xichang elementary schools have said that they have not found this person. "Uncle" did not shy away from questioning in the face of doubts, "I am rubbing traffic" and "Welcome to report". Subsequently, the Douyin account was banned.
There are more and more doubts about posing for fakes. On February 19th, @thurman Mao Cup released ** again, saying that he had never said that Qin Lang was a student of Xichang Primary School, because it involved the privacy of minors, and it was not announced in **, and Qin Lang's mother has been contacted. The finale of Qin Lang's winter vacation homework incident is on the hot search again.
*Storm. 
Qin Lang: "Does it exist?" Is the event true or false? Netizens have different opinions, some people question it, some people think it doesn't matter, and the main thing is to have fun. Fans unconditionally support @thurman a cup of cats, believing that the blogger does not need to fake for traffic. @thurman Cat Cup is not an unknown newcomer Internet celebrity, she relies on the advantages of studying in France, fashion designer, French, Mandarin and Cantonese to create a life sharing account, with 18.66 million Douyin fans and 4.67 million fans of station B, almost every *** is more than one million. As of noon on February 20, the original volume of Station B's "Winter Vacation Homework on the Streets of Paris" has exceeded 9.17 million.
The formation of public opinion by online events often fits a certain mood of netizens. Catching up with homework at the end of the holiday is the collective memory of most people, and it is also a reserved program for enthusiastic people to find lost homework. The onlookers have already made up the vivid picture of "Qin Lang" breaking down and crying overnight to make up the homework, and the bizarre transnational adventure and the empathy of the homework, so that the ** explosion is not an accident. From the analysis of the communication path, the Qin Lang loss operation incident was completely dominated by Internet celebrities from beginning to end, skipping the latent generation of general public opinion - * diffusion and fermentation stage, and broke out directly. The fire is sudden and inexplicably popular, which reveals the great influence and rapid spread of the head Internet celebrities with their own traffic.
Does truth and falsehood matter?
The "entertainment to death" of the majority makes the questioning of the minority reflect a trace of untimely embarrassment. The rise of short** and self-** has lowered the threshold of news production, and anyone can bet on attention through "breaking the news", and for online platforms, as long as they can get traffic, true and false content will not be refused. There is no shortage of official media who follow the trend of "losing homework", and no one verifies it to verify the truth. The self-depravity of ** has accelerated the formation of a pan-entertainment media ecology, and the boundaries between news and performance are becoming infinitely blurred. Lost in the pursuit of hot searches, antagonistic quarrels in the information cocoon, our attention is led away, and at the same time, we also lose the ability to think independently and make rational judgments, and the perception of serious news is gradually dulled, and ordinary and beautiful moments may be brushed away.
What individuals are concerned about is personal choices, and what the public is concerned about needs to be taken seriously. It is a waste of public resources for a newsworthless or perhaps even unnewsworthy joke to occupy the center of the field, and it sends a dangerous signal that the direction can be manipulated by low-cost means. If governance is not intervened, social credibility will be eaten away by staged news.
On July 10, 2023, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) issued the Notice on Strengthening the Management of "Self-Disclosure", which clearly requires online platforms to make good use of the tagging function to mark fictional and deduced content in a timely and conspicuous manner. Since it has attracted attention, someone should be responsible for this huge onlooker, at least a serious explanation is needed, and Internet celebrities cannot be allowed to start at the beginning and end when they say the end.
Countless people rushed from one onlooker to another, and someone had to be more serious, not for anything else, but for the dignity of the news.
