I was wondering if chinese might revolt against corruption, brutality and inhumane treatment. Then I remembered much of china's history is defined by one corrupt and inhumane ruling regime or another.
Interesting theory. Perhaps that could make Chinese's "suffering tolerance" extremely high, thus revolt only happened at the very last. But, according to the
List of rebellions in China, they actually had many, but yeah the successful one took a long time.
I still think that the people will revolt no matter how deep the brainwashing and propaganda. It is useless if there is hunger in the streets. The hate will build up from the suffering, and finally released.
In fact, it is related to traditional Chinese culture. It turns out that the Confucian culture has caused people to come into contact with this kind of education from an early age. This kind of Chinese education is forbearance. The public revolt against the Qing Dynasty talked about one for gaining benefits, while the other felt that it had nothing to do with him and regarded himself as the masses. There is no justice or evil, only eternal benefits.
Times are slowly changing, and the conditions of the Chinese people are also changing. When they face rights, they usually forbear, fear in their hearts. The root of China's inferiority complex, especially in the earliest dynasties, is more obvious.
First of all, the Chinese were not like this at the beginning. If we read the history of China carefully, we will clearly see that the ancient Chinese and later Chinese do not seem to be the same species. There is a big gap between them, which makes me very different. It shocked me.
The foundation of Chinese morality is loyalty and filial piety. Every change of dynasty is humiliating. Most people will choose to live in humiliation. For most Chinese people, this is a personal frustration and self-denial.
In this case, if you choose to "surrender", the Chinese people's self-esteem and self-confidence are repeatedly destroyed, and they make compromises in the face of any power.
