秋天里的松鼠
A Bud in Winter, a Blossom in VaneEntering an era of opening up and reformation, many exotic things were being thrust into our life. However, this double-edged sword brought us more evil than good. No matter what we have been forced to accept, all are destined to be cleansed according to our own Confucian-oriented ideology.Historically, many of our cultural advantages had been nipped in the bud brutally and despotically during the “Cultural Revolution”. Sooner after that fiasco, Deng Xiaoping, the second generation leader and the Messiah of China, went the extra mile for the blossom of our economy accompanied by political and cultural civilization flourishing. But our absorption of western culture did not go well. A winter, or rather a savannah of culture, was awaiting westernization if no limited policy were implemented. Cultural development after “Culture Revolution” was also an abyss of disasters: hackneyed thoughts, forged reluctance, commotion and humanitarian vicissitude etc.. Everything of that epoch showed the clairvoyance of a doomed future. How about the social atmosphere? A hook of requiem fastened to the society. People all around had their chutzpah and pizzazz gradually and unconsciously vanquished. Creativity circumvented our nation; innovation sidestepped either. Anything aggressive vanished during that domineering decade. A deluge of western culture? Never!Circumspect Confucianism would be unhappy to witness such an era of flooding scrimmaging culture: Greek culture, British culture, American culture and even African culture. Instead it could turn its nose upon these westerners. After all, for over 5, 000 years, our ancestors and us were inculcated that men and women all had their compulsory rights and obligations, which, I think, still dominates our outlook on life, society and world. It is not a time warp; it is true. It is not hero warship; it is virtue. It is not a ghost town; it is merriment. Confronting this, the stable Confucianism, kids born in 1990s, now entering 21st century, choose to indulge in the merry-go-round of western turmoil, to depreciate the quietude and bona fides of our national culture. Westernization, the Genghis Khan, bestowed upon the after-90s generation a waste land of cultural shambles. Being an apostle of promoting national culture, I am not going to be a bombastic speaker. I will back up everyone, in this mercurial fuss, who garners information to germinate our unparalleled culture. Western culture shall frown.Teetering on the edge of collapse, socialist culture with Chinese characteristics should winnow someone out from those whimsical cossets to formulate a cortège for western cultures. Obviously, we have the carte blanche to narrow the entrance of western cultures using our “iron rations” of Confucianism to irradiate national culture. Personally, individual should control the deus ex machine to create a seedbed for national culture. They could join in some NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) and even found their organizations. A second way should be adopted among root-class people, who are the foundation of our national culture. CPC (Communist Party of China) should also promulgate some efficient policy to obliterate and torpedo western culture and its downsides. But the situation for us is that we are like an octogenarian, immaculated and almost dying in some western countries. Hence an odyssey of our strong-handed implementation of these policies.Curfew may be a Band-Aid, which will not be an everlasting policy. We should converge our efforts in front of such a great barrier that has been a century long burden. In one word, western culture and its import should be on strict surveillance. (578)
