The road China has been going down over the past decade is really quite strange, especially since the relative liberalisation of the media. Yes, obviously, we can see China has a lot of problems and difficulties, but it\u2019s not until you turn your head around that you suddenly realise China has become a superpower that is admired, even envied. And yes, it\u2019s clear that we are a developing country that has been the bully’s victim for a century, yet over the past couple of years we have seen in the international media people becoming more and more fascinated with our country. Evidently just a few years ago we were still a country that was demonised by others, but now we gaze in wonder as Chinese becomes a popular subject in schools around the world.<\/p>\n

So now what we need to learn is not only how to take to the stage and play the role of a great nation, but also, as the story becomes more intense and the plot twists and turns, do some soul-searching and change our way of thinking. By this I don’t just mean watching a couple of TV dramas to learn a bit about the achievements of the ancient dynasties or watch the rise and fall of the great foreign powers. Nor I am talking about educating the masses to be more civilized so when they go abroad they don\u2019t turn into noisy, spitting tourists.<\/p>\n

When I talk of re-examining a nation\u2019s mentality, the most compelling example I can give that is still applicable today is that which Lu Xun wrote about many decades ago in The True Story of Ah Q<\/em>. What makes his story more frightening than Aesop’s fable The Fox and the Grapes <\/em>is that the fox who was unable to reach the grapes only said that they were too sour. What he didn’t claim was that the sweet grapes were bad, and that the sour grapes were best. But this is essentially what Ah Q did as he turned normal ways of thinking about morality upside down. Though he came out of a fight as a loser, he claimed to be the first person in the world capable of self-deprecation. At least the fox only disparaged that which he could not get. Ah Q, on the other hand, tried to make out that his self-pity and self-lament were something sacred and honourable.<\/p>\n \u963fQ \u7684\u6545\u4e8b\u8bf4\u7684\u9664\u4e86\u662f\u9c81\u8fc5\u773c\u4e2d\u7684\u56fd\u4eba\u901a\u75c5\u4e4b\u5916\uff0c\u8fd8\u5f88\u7b26\u5408\u5f53\u65f6\u56fd\u9645\u5f62\u52bf\u4e0b\u4e2d\u56fd\u4eba\u7684\u81ea\u5904\u4e4b\u9053\u3002\u6e05\u672b\u4ee5\u6765\uff0c\u4e2d\u56fd\u4eba\u88ab\u73b0\u4ee3\u6b96\u6c11\u5e1d\u56fd\u6253\u5f97\u900f\u4e0d\u8fc7\u6c14\uff0c\u4f20\u7edf\u6587\u5316\u7cfb\u7edf\u88ab\u897f\u6f6e\u6467\u6298\u5f97\u74e6\u5d29\u7816\u788e\u3002\u8fd9\u90fd\u662f\u4e8b\u5b9e\uff0c\u4e5f\u662f\u5f88\u591a\u4eba\u770b\u5f97\u6e05\u695a\u8bb2\u5f97\u660e\u767d\u7684\u3002\u53ef\u662f\u4e0e\u6b64\u540c\u65f6\uff0c\u5374\u6709\u53e6\u4e00\u4e9b\u4eba\u53cd\u8fc7\u6765\u628a\u81ea\u5df1\u7684\u79ef\u5f31\u8bf4\u6210\u662f\u4e00\u79cd\u7f8e\u5fb7\u3002\u6700\u53ef\u7b11\u7684\u83ab\u8fc7\u4e8e\u5f53\u5e74\u82f1\u56fd\u5927\u54f2\u5b66\u5bb6\u7f57\u7d20\u90a3\u5957\u201c\u4e2d\u56fd\u4eba\u70ed\u7231\u548c\u5e73\u201d\u8bba\u7684\u6d41\u884c\u3002\u8981\u77e5\u9053\u7f57\u7d20\u56fa\u7136\u662f\u4f4d\u4e25\u8c28\u7684\u903b\u8f91\u5b66\u5bb6\uff0c\u4f46\u4ed6\u5bf9\u4e2d\u56fd\u7684\u89c2\u5bdf\u5219\u6765\u81ea\u76ae\u6bdb\u7684\u9605\u8bfb\u4e0e\u8d70\u9a6c\u89c2\u82b1\u7684\u65c5\u884c\uff0c\u6839\u672c\u4e0d\u503c\u4e00\u54c2\u3002\u504f\u504f\u5f88\u591a\u77e5\u8bc6\u5206\u5b50\u5f15\u4e4b\u4e3a\u77e5\u97f3\u7684\u80ba\u8151\u4e4b\u8a00\uff0c\u89c9\u5f97\u6211\u4eec\u4e2d\u56fd\u4eba\u5c31\u662f\u9ad8\u5c1a\uff0c\u70ed\u7231\u548c\u5e73\uff0c\u53d1\u660e\u4e86\u706b\u836f\u4e5f\u4e0d\u641e\u706b\u7bad\u70b8\u5f39\u3002\u8fd9\uff0c\u96be\u9053\u4e0d\u662f\u963fQ \u5417\uff1f<\/p>\n Not only does the story of Ah Q speak to the common failings of the Chinese in the eyes of Lu Xun, but it also fell in line with the position of the Chinese people considering the state the world was in at the time. Since the final years of the Qing dynasty the Chinese people had been stifled, having been thrashed by the colonial powers, and trends in Western ways of thinking had left Chinese traditional culture obliterated. These are all facts, and many people understand them well. Yet there are still those who try to make out that their long-standing weaknesses are in fact virtues. The funniest thing would have to be the coming into vogue of the theory suggested by the renowned British philosopher Bertrand Russell that the Chinese are a peace-loving people. Of course Russell is a rigorous logician, but his observations about China are laughable considering they\u2019re merely based on some superficial reading and a cursory tour of the country. Unfortunately many intellectuals think of these observations like sincere words from a trusted friend, reaching the conclusion that the Chinese must be noble, peace-loving people, since they invented gunpowder but didn’t use it to make weapons. But isn’t this just another manifestation of the Ah Q mentality?<\/p>\n 20 \u4e16\u7eaa\u7684\u5fb7\u56fd\u601d\u60f3\u5bb6\u820d\u52d2\uff08Max Scheler\uff09\u7ee7\u5c3c\u91c7\u4e4b\u540e\uff0c\u6df1\u5165\u6316\u6398\u4e86\u4eba\u7c7b\u7684\u201c\u6028\u6068\u201d\uff08ressentiment\uff09\u5fc3\u7406\uff0c\u4ed6\u7684\u8bf4\u6cd5\u53ef\u4ee5\u5e2e\u52a9\u6211\u4eec\u8fdb\u4e00\u6b65\u7406\u89e3\u73b0\u4ee3\u4e2d\u56fd\u7684\u963fQ \u5fc3\u6001\u3002\u4f9d\u7167\u820d\u52d2\uff0c\u6028\u6068\u662f\u4e00\u79cd\u5bf9\u4ed6\u4eba\u4e0d\u6ee1\u7684\u60c5\u7eea\u53cd\u5e94\uff0c\u8fd9\u79cd\u60c5\u7eea\u662f\u79cd\u6f5c\u85cf\u5fc3\u4e2d\u9690\u5fcd\u672a\u53d1\u7684\u6012\u610f\uff0c\u6bd2\u86c7\u822c\u5730\u6298\u78e8\u548c\u626d\u66f2\u4e86\u4e00\u4e2a\u4eba\u7684\u6b63\u5e38\u5fc3\u667a\u4e0e\u4ef7\u503c\u89c2\u3002\u6240\u4ee5\u8981\u9690\u5fcd\u4e0d\u53d1\uff0c\u662f\u56e0\u4e3a\u6709\u8fd9\u79cd\u60c5\u7eea\u7684\u4eba\u6839\u672c\u6ca1\u6709\u53d1\u6cc4\u62a5\u590d\u7684\u80fd\u529b\u3002\u8fd9\u79cd\u6028\u6068\u7684\u7531\u6765\u6709\u4e8c\uff0c\u4e00\u662f\u53d7\u5230\u4ed6\u4eba\u7684\u4fae\u8fb1\uff0c\u4e8c\u662f\u5ac9\u5992\u4ed6\u4eba\u62e5\u6709\u7684\u4e1c\u897f\uff0c\u89c9\u5f97\u90a3\u4e1c\u897f\u672c\u8be5\u4e3a\u5df1\u6240\u6709\u3002\u53ef\u662f\u4ed6\u4eba\u7684\u5730\u4f4d\u6bd4\u81ea\u5df1\u9ad8\uff0c\u5b9e\u529b\u6bd4\u81ea\u5df1\u5f3a\uff1b\u6211\u4e0d\u53ea\u6ca1\u6cd5\u62a2\u593a\u4ed6\u62e5\u6709\u7684\u4e00\u5207\uff0c\u6ca1\u6cd5\u6539\u53d8\u6211\u548c\u4ed6\u7684\u5dee\u8ddd\uff0c\u751a\u81f3\u8fde\u5bf9\u4e4b\u53d1\u4f5c\u90fd\u4e0d\u6562\u3002\u8fd9\u65f6\u5c31\u4f1a\u51fa\u73b0\u201c\u4ef7\u503c\u4f4d\u79fb\u201d\uff08value shifts\uff09\u7684\u73b0\u8c61\u4e86\uff0c\u610f\u601d\u662f\u98a0\u5012\u4ef7\u503c\u5e38\u89c4\uff0c\u628a\u81ea\u5df1\u5f97\u4e0d\u5230\u7684\u8bf4\u6210\u662f\u4e0d\u597d\u7684\uff0c\u5c06\u81ea\u5df1\u7684\u4f4e\u4e0b\u5904\u5883\u8bf4\u6210\u662f\u9ad8\u7b49\u7684\u3002\u5c31\u50cf\u963fQ \u548c\u4eba\u6253\u4e86\u4e00\u67b6\u4e4b\u540e\u5374\u4ee5\u81ea\u5df1\u7684\u5351\u8d31\u65e0\u80fd\u4e3a\u7f8e\uff0c\u53c8\u50cf\u4e2d\u56fd\u7ed9\u5217\u5f3a\u6b3a\u51cc\u4e4b\u540e\u8868\u626c\u81ea\u5df1\u70ed\u7231\u548c\u5e73\u3002<\/p>\n Following the work of Nietzsche, the 20th Century German Thinker Max Scheler underwent an in-depth exmination into the concept of “ressentiment”, and his interpretation can help us better understand the Ah Q mentality as it exists in modern China. According to Scheler, ressentiment is an emotional reaction that arises from discontentment towards others, a kind of anger that is hidden within the psyche that flares up like a viper, poisoning a person\u2019s intelligence and value system. It is endured but not expressed because those who exhibit this emotion are unable to vent their grievances or retaliate. There are two underlying causes of ressentiment, the first one being humiliation, the second one being envy of what others have, with a belief that the object of desire should have been the original possession of the self. When others enjoy a higher, more powerful position than the self, not only does the self have no way of taking possession of everything the other person has, but is not even able to narrow the gap between the two parties, leaving the self daring not show any anger at all. This is a siutation in which the phenomenon of “value shifts” comes into play, in which value systems are subverted, and the self calls that which cannot be attained as evil, claiming the high ground despite being in an inferior position. This is just like when Ah Q claimed moral superiority after losing a fight \u2013 and similar to when China praised itself as a peace-loving nation after being bullied by the Great Powers.<\/p>\n \u820d\u52d2\u8ba4\u4e3a\u6028\u6068\u4e0d\u53ea\u5b58\u5728\u4e8e\u4e2a\u4eba\u5185\u5fc3\uff0c\u5b83\u8fd8\u53ef\u4ee5\u662f\u793e\u4f1a\u7fa4\u4f53\u7684\u5171\u6709\u60c5\u7eea\uff0c\u53ea\u8981\u7b26\u5408\u4e86\u4e24\u4e2a\u6761\u4ef6\uff0c\u5b83\u5c31\u4f1a\u4ea7\u751f\u3002\u8fd9\u4e24\u4e2a\u6761\u4ef6\u4e4b\u4e00\u662f\u81ea\u5df1\u8fd9\u4e2a\u7fa4\u4f53\u53ef\u4ee5\u548c\u5176\u4ed6\u7fa4\u4f53\u6bd4\u8f83\uff1b\u4e4b\u4e8c\u662f\u89c9\u5f97\u88ab\u6028\u6068\u5ac9\u5992\u7684\u7fa4\u4f53\u4e4b\u5730\u4f4d\u662f\u81ea\u5df1\u53ef\u4ee5\u8fbe\u5230\uff0c\u751a\u81f3\u672c\u6765\u5c31\u5e94\u8be5\u5c5e\u4e8e\u81ea\u5df1\u7684\u3002\u653e\u5728\u4e2d\u56fd\u7684\u5177\u4f53\u73af\u5883\u6765\u770b\uff0c\u6211\u4eec\u53ef\u4ee5\u53d1\u73b0\u8fd9\u91cc\u771f\u6709\u4e00\u7247\u57f9\u517b\u6028\u6068\u5fc3\u7406\u7684\u571f\u58e4\u3002\u9996\u5148\u662f\u89c9\u5f97\u6211\u4eec\u4e2d\u56fd\u4eba\u53d7\u4e86\u767e\u5e74\u56fd\u803b\uff0c\u201c\u5404\u56fd\u4e0d\u80af\u5e73\u7b49\u5f85\u6211\u201d\uff0c\u5948\u4f55\u81ea\u5df1\u5f80\u65e5\u53c8\u65e0\u529b\u53cd\u6297\uff0c\u53ea\u597d\u4e00\u65b9\u9762\u5fc3\u4e2d\u6124\u61d1\u201c\u4e0d\u5fd8\u56fd\u803b\u201d\uff0c\u65e5\u65e5\u6162\u6162\u5480\u56bc\u8fd9\u6325\u4e4b\u4e0d\u53bb\u7684\u6068\u610f\u3002\u540c\u65f6\u6211\u4eec\u53c8\u4f1a\u56de\u60f3\u6c49\u5510\u76db\u4e16\u4e43\u81f3\u4e8e\u6e05\u521d\u4e09\u5e1d\u7684\u5a01\u98ce\u6b66\u529f\uff0c\u8ba4\u4e3a\u8fd9\u4e2a\u4e16\u754c\u7b2c\u4e00\u7684\u5b9d\u5ea7\u672c\u6765\u662f\u81ea\u5df1\u7684\u3002\u5728\u8fd9\u4e2a\u57fa\u7840\u4e0a\u82e5\u518d\u52a0\u4e0a\u957f\u671f\u4ee5\u6765\u7684\u6559\u80b2\u704c\u8f93\uff0c\u4e00\u822c\u80fd\u591f\u626d\u66f2\u4ef7\u503c\u626d\u66f2\u4e16\u754c\u89c2\u7684\u6028\u6068\u5c31\u4f1a\u4e0d\u65ad\u751f\u957f\u8301\u58ee\u4e86\u3002<\/p>\n Scheler believed that ressentiment could not only manifest itself in an individual’s psyche, but could also be a collective mood of a particular social group if two conditions are fulfilled. First, the group where the self belongs must be comparable with the group that is the target of resentment. Second, the social status of the group being resented must be within the reach of the self, or be a status that the self feels deserving of. If we consider this in the context of China we can see that this is truly a land which breeds resentment. First of all, we Chinese feel we have been the victim of a hundred years of national humiliation, that the world was unwilling to treat us as equals. We thought at the time, how can it be that we have no way of resisting, that we have no choice but to feel resentment. We said to ourselves, “never forget how our country was humiliated”, and day by day, little by little, mulled over a bitterness which seemed impossible to drive away. At the same time, we think back to the golden age of the Han and Tang dynasties, and the impressive military accomplishments of the first three emperors of the Qing, and conclude that the world’s very first throne must have been a Chinese one. If you take all of this into account, and add long periods of indoctrination, you can see how a kind of resentment which is capable of distorting people’s values and views of the world has been able to grow and thrive.<\/p>\n \u6028\u6068\u7684\u8868\u8fbe\u76f8\u5f53\u591a\u6837\uff0c\u9664\u4e86\u98a0\u5012\u5730\u80af\u5b9a\u81ea\u6211\uff08\u6bd4\u5982\u8bf4\u628a\u968f\u5730\u5410\u75f0\u8bb2\u6210\u662f\u4e2d\u56fd\u4eba\u81ea\u5728\u968f\u610f\u7684\u8868\u73b0\uff09\uff0c\u5b83\u8fd8\u53ef\u4ee5\u662f\u79cd\u7a0d\u7ecf\u523a\u6fc0\u5c31\u7acb\u523b\u52a8\u6012\u7684\u654f\u611f\u53cd\u5e94\uff08\u4f8b\u5982\u628a\u67d0\u4e9b\u56fd\u5bb6\u7684\u65c5\u6e38\u666f\u70b9\u7279\u610f\u4ee5\u4e2d\u6587\u4e66\u5199\u7684\u201c\u7981\u6b62\u5410\u75f0\u201d\u8b66\u544a\u724c\u5355\u7eaf\u5730\u89e3\u8bfb\u4e3a\u6b67\u89c6\u4e2d\u56fd\u4eba\uff09\u3002\u66f4\u53ef\u6015\u7684\uff0c\u662f\u4e00\u79cd\u81ea\u6211\u8d2c\u635f\u7684\u51b2\u52a8\u3002\u8fd9\u4e24\u5e74\u6765\u7f51\u4e0a\u65f6\u5e38\u6d41\u4f20\u4e00\u4e9b\u6781\u5ea6\u4fae\u8fb1\u4e2d\u56fd\u4eba\u7684\u4e8b\u4ef6\u4f20\u8bf4\uff0c\u5176\u4e2d\u6709\u4e0d\u5c11\u540e\u6765\u88ab\u8bc1\u5b9e\u662f\u56fd\u4eba\u81ea\u5df1\u634f\u9020\u7684\u3002\u4e3a\u4ec0\u4e48\u8981\u81ea\u5df1\u8f9b\u8f9b\u82e6\u82e6\u865a\u6784\u4e00\u4e9b\u8fb1\u534e\u7684\u5938\u5f20\u6545\u4e8b\u51fa\u6765\uff0c\u518d\u53bb\u523a\u6fc0\u5927\u5bb6\u751f\u6c14\u5462\uff1f\u8fd9\u5c31\u662f\u6028\u6068\u5fc3\u7406\u5bfc\u81f4\u7684\u81ea\u8650\u4e86\uff0c\u4f3c\u4e4e\u53ea\u6709\u5982\u6b64\u624d\u80fd\u8fdb\u4e00\u6b65\u786e\u8ba4\u81ea\u5df1\u7684\u5730\u4f4d\u5351\u4e0b\u3002<\/p>\n There are a myriad of ways in which ressentiment can be expressed. Apart from perverted self-affirmations such as passing spitting in public off as a display of the easygoing nature of the Chinese people, it can also be expressed in the losing of one’s temper at the slightest provocation, such as claiming discrimination against Chinese when international tourist sites put up signs in Chinese warning that spitting is prohibited. Even more alarming though is the impulsiveness of self-criticism. In the past couple of years, there have been some myths circulating online which are extremely denegrating to the Chinese people. Many have been shown to have been fabricated by Chinese people themselves. Why would anyone go to the painstaking lengths of making up sensationalised anti-Chinese stories to stir everyone up? This is nothing but an example of self-abuse, the cause of which is ressentiment in China, and it seems to be the only way the Chinese can assert their authority.<\/p>\n \u8fd9\u79cd\u53d8\u6001\u5fc3\u7406\u7684\u53cd\u9762\u8868\u73b0\u5219\u662f\u76f2\u76ee\u7684\u81ea\u6211\u80af\u5b9a\uff0c\u4f8b\u5982\u4ee5\u5236\u9020\u4e16\u4e0a\u6700\u957f\u7684\u62c9\u9762\u6216\u5168\u4e16\u754c\u201c\u5bff\u201d\u5b57\u6700\u591a\u7684\u4e00\u9762\u5899\u7b49\u53e4\u7075\u7cbe\u602a\u7684\u4e16\u754c\u7eaa\u5f55\u4e3a\u4e50\u3002\u8bb8\u591a\u4e2a\u4eba\u3001\u56e2\u4f53\u4ee5\u81f3\u4e8e\u5730\u65b9\u653f\u5e9c\u4e50\u6b64\u4e0d\u75b2\u5730\u53bb\u521b\u9020\u6216\u6253\u7834\u8fd9\u4e9b\u7eaa\u5f55\uff0c\u4e3a\u7684\u5c31\u662f\u5728\u90a3\u90e8\u5de8\u5927\u7684\u300a\u5409\u5c3c\u65af\u4e16\u754c\u7eaa\u5f55\u300b\u4e0a\u591a\u6dfb\u4e00\u884c\u7528\u653e\u5927\u955c\u624d\u770b\u5f97\u6e05\u7684\u201c\u4e16\u754c\u7b2c\u4e00\u201d\u3002<\/p>\n A negative manifestation of this abnormal psychological state is the blind affirmation of the self.
