Darkness is Coming

   Hearing the word "naive", Huang Kaijing thought that President Yang's standing up was a sign of anger, but he didn't expect Yang Xiaoqian to stand up and walk two steps closer, reaching out and handing out a lighter.

   "pat"

   A small flame burst out.

  Huang Kaijing didn't like the taste of tobacco very much, but President Yang personally set fire for him, and there was no reason to refuse hypocritically.

   After lighting the cigarette on Huang Kaijing's lips, Yang Xiaoqian asked, "Do you remember the strategy we made in Yuanjiang?"

  Huang Kaijing took a sip on the filter tip of the cigarette, and the mellow bitter taste entered his lungs, which was different from the taste he had when smoking before.

   Maybe this is a special cigarette specially made for President Yang's personal request, Huang Kaijing thought to himself, he nodded and replied, "Yes, President, I remember."

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but Huang Kaijing always felt that the puff of smoke just now made him feel a lot more relaxed, the surroundings became very quiet and peaceful, the flashing red dots were no longer dazzling, and the memories seemed to be approaching the telephoto lens, occupying the space. out of sight.

"If it wasn't for you and Liu Yuanzhou, Commander Liu, who suppressed Yuanjiang with a tough hand, and used various means to publicize and guide the direction of Yuanjiang people's values, I probably wouldn't have summoned the courage to sign up for the battle formation of the Yuanjiu Association... ...In that case, I shouldn't be awakened now, I'm still an ordinary person, or I may already be a dead person."

   As he spoke, Huang Kaijing gradually let go of his emotions and was no longer restrained.

   "According to what you just said, it was our propaganda that brainwashed you and encouraged you to join the army, right?" Yang Xiaoqian asked, "Have you ever regretted it?"

   "No." Huang Kaijing didn't hesitate, and then put forward a rebuttal, "But President, this is different."

   "Oh? What's the difference?"

"At that time, the dome trapped us, zombies, and mutants in the Yuanjiang River. If everyone did not have the consciousness to go to the battlefield, no one would escape death in the end. If the city wall of Xinyuanjiang was broken, if the coastal defense of Jiangxin Island was broken, Everyone will..." Having said this, Huang Kaijing suddenly stopped and lowered his head in thought.

"Yeah. For the Yuanjiang people at that time, if they couldn't unite as one, it would be impossible to usher in victory in the battle against corpses. When the end of Yuanjiang came, there was no difference whether soldiers or civilians faced the corpse tide. In order to prevent this from happening, it is necessary for us to reverse everyone's perceptions and let the people understand that each of them should be responsible for their own lives." Yang Xiaoqian sat back in his chair, looked at Huang Kaijing, and said slowly, "But , According to you, is there any difference between what we are doing now, what we will do in the future, and what we have done in the past?"

"The earth will usher in endless calamities. Maybe we can survive it once or twice, but no one can guarantee that we can survive the crisis every time. If one day, the doomsday really comes? Dome It is a cage besieging the far river, so why isn’t the earth a cage besieging all human beings?”

  Huang Kaijing remained silent.

   Yang Xiaoqian continued: "Of course, I have to admit that there is indeed a big difference between the two. The most striking difference is that we can no longer use the fear of aggravated punishment to change people's behavior and attitudes."

   "When everyone is retreating, it is difficult to muster the courage to fight alone. But conversely, when everyone is standing up, it takes courage to retreat silently."

   "At that time, the corpse tide was rampant, and there were many chaos. It was too difficult to get everyone to dare to come forward. So I chose another faster method, so that everyone dared not to come forward."

"But now this method can no longer be used. We can quickly reverse the concept and atmosphere of Yuanjiang people because we are dictatorial, we are tyrannical, and we have strangled all opposing voices in the cradle. The special situation of Yuanjiang has given us This condition. But now it’s no longer possible, we can only use a softer way, starting from the root, and gradually improving the public’s perception.”

"As long as the concept is reformed, education is the top priority, but this education should not be limited to school classrooms, idols can also be good educators. In fact, it should be said that in the domestic environment, classroom The influence of internal ideological education on personality and three views is minimal. This is a mistake of the old education system, and it is also a problem left over from history. We must solve this problem, but starting from the ideological education class, its influence is too slow and too small to penetrate ."

   "Finally, let's talk about where your resistance comes from." Yang Xiaoqian tapped the cigarette case with his index finger, and the monotonous sound of da da seemed to be a magical melody, making Huang Kaijing in a trance.

"You think that the propaganda work we do is brainwashing people and restricting the freedom of other people's thoughts, so you resist. I understand very well that we are the same kind of people. In fact, I have been angry with youth before, and I have despised the overwhelming justice in the country. Energy propaganda believes that everything the government does is aimed at ignoring the people and restricting the freedom of thought and speech.”

Speaking of this, Yang Xiaoqian showed a self-deprecating smile and continued: "But think about it, how much truth is there in the so-called 'truth' that we hoped to see back then, and the rumors that were flooded on the Internet? How many? In the process of eagerly pursuing freedom and democracy, ignorant and ignorant teenagers are played with applause by those with ulterior motives, and while they become tools of others, they also shape a dark three-view for themselves?"

"Think about how many people think that it is right to die without saving, and even if you have the ability to help yourself, you should stand by and watch, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Think about how many people plausibly believe that as long as they have the strength, they can kill this person. , to kill that one, kill the whole family in one word

"This is a disease! If there is a problem with education in a country, then the country is seriously ill. Look at our peers now, how many people have dark and distorted views under the influence of social atmosphere and the surrounding environment, Seeing the world with a sick and cynical eye?"

"Do you think that they maintain all the current concepts, that is, freedom of thought? No, I think they are kidnapped by the inherent thinking concepts left over from the previous era, and we stand at the starting point of the new era, we must break this Dao shackles, giving them a new option."

"So I don't think the propaganda work you are going to do is brainwashing. I think it is a very necessary correct guidance. You must work hard to break the dark ideological shackles set in the hearts of the people, for the sake of this generation and the next generation. , to create a correct three views, only people with correct three views and sound minds can pursue freedom of thought. Otherwise, no matter how hard they shout, they are always just playing things for those who have a heart."
