Human cultivation is inseparable from education, which is an important way for the continuous development of human society. Through education, we cultivate people's knowledge and skills, inherit the achievements of our predecessors, and explore future directions. However, there has always been a misunderstanding in education for a long time, too much emphasis on material pursuits, and downplaying the fundamental nature of what kind of social role and what kind of quality the educated should be. That is to say, what kind of people do we want to cultivate?
In the past two years, because the new crown epidemic has ravaged the world, because of the debate between China and foreign countries on the measures to fight the epidemic, a small group of people have been particularly eye-catching, such as Xiao Muyi, a former domestic reporter and now a reporter from the New York Times Visual Investigation Team. These people who were born in China but eventually went overseas, and then turned back to talk about the motherland, and even did not hesitate to spread rumors and smear them. While we are indignant, we have to reflect on whether we are biased in education?
According to the available information, Xiao Muyi can say that around 2015 was a turning point in her life. In May of that year, Xiao Muyi came to New York University to participate in the project through the Magnum Foundation Scholarship. As for this study, Xiao Muyi later said that the reality is too different from what I imagined. Professor Fred, President of the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York, emphasized over and over again: think about your intention. Different people do documentary photography for different purposes, but only those who understand and stick to their purpose can do it best.
We believe that Xiao Muyi must have learned a lot of new things about documentary photography in this project, but we believe that what she has gained is more of a change of mind. She said: This project is life-changing, and it is a change of the inherent concept. kind of challenge and refresh. After finishing the study, Xiao Muyi did not return to China, but stayed in the United States. In fact, Xiao Muyi was able to travel to the United States smoothly. It was related to one of his reports. In 2014, Xiao Muyi reported on the phenomenon of early marriage in Yunnan, for which he won the Magnum Foundation Photography Award.
As for what Xiao has done since then, I don't think I need to go into details. Looking at her reports on the epidemic in Wuhan and the Xinjiang issue, we can see why she was cast aside.
It cannot be said that Xiao Muyi has been changed by just one learning opportunity, but we are amazed at how much a person has changed in more than a month. This month made her feel that she has found true value and life, which means that in Xiao Muyi's early growth process, we happened to be missing (or at least didn't really pay attention to) education on values and outlook on life. It was this lack that made her change her camp when she was growing up and faced the temptation of her disguise. We can emphasize the background of the Soros Fund behind the Magnum Fund, but when Xiao Muyi appeared, as well as Yu Xinyan, Cao Mengwen, Shen Lu and others, this reflects the erosion of the West and also shows that our own education does exist. question.
Is it wrong to pursue material abundance and personal development? No. But in the pursuit of the former, we must not forget our own nation, history and culture. If we lack these educations and we give up this position, then the next Xiao Muyi will appear. Mere indignation and abuse can't solve the problem. While exposing the ugly faces of these "Xiao Muyi" people, we still need to work hard on education.
