Wei's Take on Democracy: 🌟
- Wei's Big Picture: Democracy is needed to ensure freedom, happiness, and modernization for the people, not just for the ambitions of dictators.
- Old Worries, New Wrinkles: Just like those who feared chaos without an emperor after the Qing dynasty, some are anxious that democracy might bring chaos.
- Real-World Analogy: Think of someone afraid to take off training wheels, worried they'll fall without them. Just like this, some believed that without oppression, society might collapse.
- Main Message: No need for gods, emperors, or saviors. We want to be our own bosses!
Tolerance with a Catch: 🚫
- Democrats in China: Mostly tolerated. BUT! If the government thinks you're stepping out of line, watch out!
- Wei Jingsheng's Punishment: Super harsh. Why? A big "NO 🚫" sign for those who thought it was okay to criticize the party/government after Mao.
- Real-World Analogy: Like a strict teacher who lets students chat but suddenly gives detention if they think the chatter is about them.
Corruption Tales: 💰
- The Big Scandal: In the late 1970s, state-owned fuel & power company managers in Heilongjiang were caught pocketing public money. Big oops!
- Expectations vs. Reality: Government hoped people would cheer their crackdown. But here's the twist: the corruption was exposed by a journalist, not the authorities!
- Inside the Cookie Jar: Those nabbed for the scam? Bigwigs in the provincial CCP. Made everyone wonder: Just how rotten is this apple?
- Real-World Analogy: Imagine finding out the school's head prefects were the ones stealing lunch money, and the story came out only because a student reporter dug deep.
