1.4 billion people can't save a little plum
On the "March 8th Women's Day", we must talk about Xiaohuamei. Today, nothing is a stronger reminder than the image of this unfortunate woman who is tethered to a mental bed, that a jubilant celebration of women's rights is so far away.
Xiaohuamei - many people who care about her still suspect that this is not her real name - survived with her tenacity, and finally waited for the opportunity to testify for the long and cruel gender violence, with her mental illness, inadvertently resisted and prevented normalization of violence, and normalization, by complicitly incorporating violence into the institutionalized daily life of marriage, family and community, has blocked the tears of the victims and washed away the inhumanity. Including the suspense of her life experience, this incident cannot be brought to an end, and cannot be resolved and archived as an occasional "public opinion incident". Unable to be resolved is actually very important here. It is a kind of last resistance. It is also a moral responsibility to delay the easy passage of those who should be held accountable. Before the violence is liquidated, this society should suffer to some extent. , and most of the time, we didn't share anything for Xiao Huamei and her contemporaries.
Stories that should belong to the past are never heard
I will try to fully understand Xiaohuamei's fate, which is what a victim like her should get from me; would like to focus on the involvement of this "unsolvable" process since the society's attention to Xiaohuamei, especially feminists ——Why a heterogeneous group of sympathy, anger and anxiety in the event, when they have achieved the greatest mobilization possible at the moment, are still unable to advance their agenda on this event. Or to put it more directly, "1.4 billion people can't save a little flower plum", what is the reason?
The high incidence of trafficking for the purpose of forced marriage is a phenomenon in a historical period, when the initial "reform" and "modernization" of "cash" allowed the patriarchal structure in some regions to fill its own function by commodifying women's crime The lack and "backwardness" have prevented Xiaohuamei and her relatives from having the autonomy to overcome the obstacles of ethnicity, language and region from Nujiang to Xuzhou. In fact, many people have paved the way for this uneven "progress" in different ways. "The process, just never had a sound.
Xiaohuamei represents the lowest level of Chinese women, extremely poor, uneducated, mentally disabled, and even "not good-looking" - as many people commented. However, she is still endowed with the most instinctive female value that patriarchy needs, that is, she can provide sex and fertility, and this value is also what allows patriarchy to exploit women the most. Many ordinary women have to exchange sex, emotion, fertility, endless housework and care work for a place of standing recognized by patriarchy, and for women like Xiaohuamei who have been stripped of their autonomy, it is even more severe that only Exploited, exchange does not even exist. People like her have been trafficked and sold again and again, because the patriarchy is seeking to properly implement her most basic feminine values, and only in this way can she be accepted and allowed to exist by the patriarchy.
Dong Zhimin also belongs to the bottom man in the patriarchy, but his lack of sex, marriage and offspring is still a concern of the system, and it may even cause danger, so it is happy to see it resolved. As for Xiao Huamei, she does not need dignity and no one cares whether she is kidnapped or not. In a completely mutilated way, she has satisfied the needs of a man and the system behind him for women. That flawed marriage certificate is allegorical, not only a blatant legalization of gender-based violence, but also a personal and communal repair at the only price of forcibly sucking in an unknown woman.
This should only be a story from the past. Since it has never been really heard, it is easily forgotten and only regarded as the so-called "price of development". The flip side of the rapid decline in the crime of trafficking in women in recent years is that patriarchy is once again turning away from the crimes it committed not too long ago. Trafficking is diverted to marriage and family, violence is hidden, and the bondage to women is long, they can't resist, and they will eventually give up. However, the fear of being abducted, which the Chinese female public has inherited from the Xiaohuamei generation and has never been truly healed, even if it has become less "rational", has finally proved to be very critical to the new generation of online women. With Xiaohuamei, they are temporarily linked together beyond class distinctions. Inside this fear, women still know that no matter how many things they buy and how much they increase in value, they are vulnerable and helpless because they have never been recognized as the masters of this society. And, they realize, they are not far from the fate of being reduced to that instinctive feminine value, plundered for sex and fertility. And this society is still lacking in function, and it has to force women to fill it, but it cannot guarantee and relieve women.
Mobile phones, Internet, Kuaishou, social disequilibrium is disappearing, perhaps in another disequilibrium way. Xiaohuamei's video can be broadcast live to everyone, and a human tragedy that should belong to the pre-modern directly collided with the current time. People can't take their eyes off because they don't understand at all: why is there still such a thing? The misery of Huamei's seamless splicing in the vulgar daily life in the countryside tells the world that the violence she suffered has never ended, and her image of wearing a chain around her neck has greatly impacted people's moral comfort zone, ending the habit of The automatic cognitive dissonance mechanism has caused many people to feel an inescapable distress that may have been a long time ago, while others have once again stirred up conscience and righteous indignation.
"We Don't Believe" Dignity, the Last Line of War
She shattered people's inner identity with their country: it was shameful and humiliating. In terms of creating a crisis and igniting social action for the narrative of great power prosperity, nothing is more powerful and safe than a case like this, and, as someone once analyzed, Xiaohuamei is a real and perfect victim, and there is nothing in her that can help. In spite of the hateful accusations, she has no conditions to cause controversy because of her words and deeds, only sympathy. She doesn't show laughter and love, personality and opinion, and is the best vehicle for projecting all kinds of emotions. This is not to say that someone took advantage of Xiaohuamei, but to say that the spectrum she can connect with is particularly broad in today's era of division and polarization, and through her, people express many inexpressible and unacceptable emotions, which is very important. Many people try to listen to and read what Xiao Huamei said through video. They try to cover the impossible communication with their own imagination. The most popular listening and reading "I don't want me in this world" is actually very literary and suitable for the public. Spread, convey the sympathy and sentimentality of the listeners. Of course, maybe that's also Xiao Huamei's inner voice, although I'm more inclined to think that imagining such a "rational" perception overestimates the impact of suffering on her.
A whole country has been stirred up with strong emotions, many people are constantly crying and cannot sleep, but the probability of these emotions turning to action is extremely low, and they are generally only consumed in the circle of friends. Those few tenacious and isolated actions, whether successful or not, are valuable, and after all, people have achieved a certain accountability effect. Few, however, were able to unite or launch any large-scale advocacy. The government has never lost control of the situation, and is very adept at using network technology to target people and posts, suppress actions and censor information in advance, thereby eliminating the danger of action fermenting. People are agitated and see each other, but they cannot respond freely. In fact, they are still suppressed and scattered. It is almost surprising that such a large-scale event has not resulted in any strong appeals and propositions. One of the important reasons is that civil society leadership has almost ceased to exist, and more intrinsically, the system has not only almost All channels for effective interaction are closed, and there is basically no possibility of change. In this situation, no matter what is advocated, there is a kind of desolation and despair, only dare to do it, but do it knowingly and cannot expect results.
This is also the reason why almost all appeals that can be made focus on the imposition of severe penalties for the crime of trafficking. First, such a claim is to pursue the past and the individual, and second, its orientation is almost to demand an escalation of authoritarianism. Blindly resorting to severe punishment for social problems is essentially a manifestation of citizens' fear and powerlessness. So why can't save Xiaohuamei? The ultimate answer is that because all resources are controlled by the government, there is no alternative legal way to provide her with sustainable human relief, so she has nowhere to go except Xuzhou Mental Hospital. Also, the absorption of her that the patriarchy has accomplished through the institution of marriage and family is irreversible.
That's why I understand why people consciously or unconsciously drag the government on public opinion, believe nothing, and keep asking a lot of questions. When there is no future in sight, people can only try their best not to let the government get away. In this event, the supply of facts has always been extremely scarce and basically monopolized by the government, so disbelief and doubt become compensatory insistence on the right to information and speech. The flood of questioning is an unintentional tactic to discredit and overwhelm the so-called government, while giving people a sense of certainty: "If there is so much doubt, the government must be lying".
Regrettably, people fell into the quagmire of information dug by themselves, permanently delayed the focus of controversy on the identity of Xiaohuamei, and worshipped the centrality of the government in reverse. In fact, people have retreated to the last front line of the war. Constructive dialogue, rational thinking, and media literacy have all become illusory. We can only rely on "we don't believe" demonstrations to resist dignity, and use unthinking direct reflection and cynicism. Refusing to be implanted by the government. The government is doing its own thing on this issue, as it has been substantively fostering the irrational, anti-intellectual and conspiracy theories of the Internet. However, I, who am also an isolated person drifting in the sea of public opinion, will not be less worried about the government because of this form of targeting the government this time.
"It is almost surprising that such a large-scale event has not resulted in any strong appeals and claims, one of the important reasons is that civil society leadership has almost disappeared, and more intrinsically, the system has not only Almost all channels for effective interaction are closed, and there is basically no possibility of change.”
China's last publicly visible social movement, the feminist movement, has finally lost almost all of its organization after a series of blows, but it still maintains a very broad community. The production of social capital within the community is seriously insufficient, and it is threatened with serious violence from the outside by the government and its online agents, the statist patriarchal community. People are afraid to trust each other, have difficulty communicating, have no action items to do, and have too much anger and sense of failure with nowhere to vent. The discussion of boundaries, ethics, and strategies can neither bear the agitation or even willful emotional needs, nor use the effects of actions to relieve people's fears, and it has become more and more difficult to speak.
The populization of the movement is a metamorphosis caused by the closure of China's public space, but there are still many people who refuse to surrender to authoritarianism. This is the most precious message I have captured in this public attention to Xiaohuamei. We can't save Xiaohuamei, but the last thing we can do is not to let ourselves be changed.
