中国人的精神 决赛作品 徐兆涵 E38
Recently，I have read Mr. Lin’s my country and my people , Mr. Gu’s the spirit of the Chinese people, and Mr. Bo Ugly Chinese. In such three different periods, three different kinds of nationals are particularly interesting in comparison.
In particular, Mr. Gu, it is said that Mr. Gu once used the Latin to scream the Eight-Power Allied Forces in European newspapers, Later, in the New York Times, he used English to ridicule Americans for lack of culture, and that the United States could not admire it.
But to return from the digression, today I want to chat about the Chinese civilization "The religion of good citizenship", Mr. Gu repeatedly mentioned in this book. He believes that European civilization is barbaric.
After the decline of Christianity, the pastor was driven away. Due to the lack of proper moral power constraints, the Europeans could only rely on the army, even the mob to maintain their own civilization, and their eastern neighbors’ civilization always has a more perfect moral force, because they believe in "the Nature of Man is good", "power of goodness".
Therefore, he suggested that, "the people of Europe will find this new moral force in China - in the Chinese civilization. The moral force in the Chinese civilization which can help make militarism unnecessary is the Religion of good citizenship."
In fact, at this point, it seems that many Eastern thinkers have an innate plot that everyone's morality, self-discipline, honor, and selfless dedication and help are the bonds that sustain the entire society.
It is a pity that such a bond itself, at least from the perspective of game theory, is not so invulnerable.
From ancient times to the present, from Utopia to communism, many great heads are thinking about how to pursue that good balance in order to achieve more perfect human well-being, and the tragedy is often in this respect:
Maintaining a weak Nash equilibrium requires a very high percentage of cooperation, and it is much easier to destroy it.
Hoping that social harmony can be achieved only through morality or self-discipline, innocently hoping for the "everyone for me, I am for everyone" type of utopian communism, or believing that the idealistic spirit of justice and honor can constrain today's society can only exist in the memory of historical nostalgia.
Because of the feudal rule of thousands of years, and the teachings of the Confucius old people, who have been under the guidance of the "Religion of good citizenship", the Chinese people have miraculously maintained this weak Nash equilibrium for thousands of years under the belief of "human nature."
And now, have we crossed a certain critical line and accelerated into the abyss that represents selfish equilibrium?
At the end of the Batman 6 Dark Knight, the hostages on the two cruise ships did not press the button that blew the other party and saved themselves. The reason why they did this was that they believed that the other party would not do this because they believed in human nature-
In the game theory, the classic prisoner's dilemma is defeated by the shining human faith in this moment. The emotion overcomes pure reason, or you can say that rationality overcomes pure emotion.
The ferocious clown is proficient in human nature, but at the last moment he did not understand human nature.
It’s a pity that the movie is a movie after all, and what will we do – in the words of Mr. Gu – what is the spirit of the Chinese, frankly I don’t know.
But I do know that if Mr. Gu can live to the present, he could see the absurdity and humor surrounding the Chinese society. I am afraid that if the Europeans replace the pastor with the army and replace the religion with the law, it will be a bit lacking confidence.
