Being towards death

Heed not to the tree-rustling and leaf-lashing rain, Why not stroll along, whistle and sing under its rein. Lighter and better suited than horses are straw sandals and a bamboo staff, Who's afraid? A palm-leaf plaited cape provides enough to misty weather in life sustain. A thorny spring breeze sobers up the spirit, I feel a slight chill, The setting sun over the mountain offers greetings still. Looking back over the bleak passage survived, The return in time Shall not be affected by windswept rain or shine.

He Tongxue, welcome to come and plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize.

Plagiarizing open-source projects and claiming them as one's own has a notorious reputation in the open-source community, theoretically comparable to Zhai Tianlin's dubious actions in the academic paper field. However, the open-source community is much more niche, and people lack the empathy to understand the severity of plagiarism in open-source—unlike papers, where almost every graduate student is required to write one. Moreover, this apology seems insincere, merely attributing the issue to a "communication error," which is hard to believe. Admit it, He Tongxue, you just want to claim all the open-source achievements for yourself, making it easier to brag about your boring work and to sell traffic through social media.

He Tongxue claims to be a media blogger in the tech field, but what exactly do his video works accomplish? Here are a few titles:

To be honest, when I see these video titles, "How fast is 5G?", "How far can an A4 paper fly?", "Recreating an old-fashioned typewriter," I sense a strong flavor of youth science experiments. These topics might inspire teenagers' interest in science during middle and high school. But how valuable are these topics? Aside from boasting, they have no value at all.

What constitutes valuable practice? Analyzing the shortcomings of current technology, proposing feasible solutions, then developing and manufacturing a finished product to replace it, and analyzing its pros and cons. This is the normal path of technological updates and iterations. He has no idea what valuable and meaningful research should be done, so the content of his videos is increasingly boring. "How far can an A4 paper fly?" I remember watching "Big Windmill" as a child, where they often asked, "How much weight can a piece of paper hold?" "How can a piece of paper help a toy car cross a bridge?" He Tongxue's video topics are still stuck at the level of "Big Windmill" aimed at elementary school students over twenty years ago. Having never participated in real scientific research or project development, He Tongxue simply doesn't know what valuable topics to pursue.

The most absurd part is that after pretending to be a tech blogger for so many years and plagiarizing open-source projects, erasing all copyright information of the original authors, He Tongxue surprisingly doesn't even have a GitHub account!? If you ask him what programming languages he knows, I’m not maliciously speculating; he might not be proficient in any language. Without personally writing code or starting from a foundational engineering role, he cannot establish a personal understanding of computer and hardware products. The difference between hearing others talk about it and experiencing it firsthand is too great.

He Tongxue lacks both a profound understanding of cutting-edge technology and the ability to analyze product capabilities from a practical standpoint. This leads to his videos being extremely dull. However, he is not entirely without merit; he is a top-tier predator in the media field. Every boring topic is given a sensational title, always framed as a question, accompanied by super exaggerated numbers, and must be shocking.

It seems increasingly evident that personal superstition and worship are permeating society. It is the public's need for deities that shapes figures like He Tongxue and Dong Yuhui. He Tongxue is revered by fans as "Saint He." Han people do not believe in gods; if it doesn't rain for two months, they will curse the heavens for being blind. But this does not mean that people's spiritual world truly lacks a need for deities; they project their expectations of deities onto movie stars and social media influencers, forming widespread personal worship. The personal worship and superstition surrounding social media influencers are not affected by the influencer's downfall. He Tongxue's plagiarism of open-source has caused a collapse, but true fans will not abandon him or criticize him for being shameless for traffic. On the contrary, true fans will find various reasons and excuses to maintain the balance of their inner world.

"Saint He" is like a religion, rooted deep within their hearts, becoming a part of their spiritual world. How could God be wrong? God is never wrong. So what if He Tongxue plagiarized an open-source project? He Tongxue is not wrong; he brought immense attention to the open-source project ASCII-generator, reviving an old project that had been dormant for years. Not everyone can receive such a blessing from He Tongxue.
