Editor’s note: Looking back at 2023, we can’t bypass the word "broken circle".

Born with a circle, this is natural and endowment; Force to break the circle, this is life, but also "heaven." There is no unbreakable circle, and there is no circle that can be laid flat. Breaking the circle is essentially the result of the tenacity and philosophical nature of human nature.

People have circles, trees have circles, cities have circles … Everything in the world has circles.

You see, life is broken, is it a "luck"? You see that the city is broken, and there are endless rectifications and innovations; You see that life is broken, and fireworks are connected with happiness expectations; You see that domestic products are broken, who says that hipsters can only be newcomers? You see that the chaos in the rice circle is waiting to be broken, and rationality is returning. My peace of mind is the "bottom line".

This year, "breaking the circle" brought out a very interesting proposition. Breaking the inherent boundary and linking the wider world is not to be broken, but to be reshaped and restarted.

Modern Express commentator Qin Shiyan

Do you have a feeling that everything can be "circled" and it is getting worse.

In 2023, "rice circles" were frequently mentioned. It seems not so friendly, even with a derogatory label.

This year, the "rice circle" conflict continued. Quarrel, abuse, tear, take turns to dominate the hot search list, "rice circle culture" seems less cultured.

More ordinary people, outside the circle, seem to be "watching the fire from the other side", but in fact, under the huge information cocoon room, they can no longer be immune. And those in the circle, faced with the loss of money and the blow of reputation, were dragged forward.

The so-called "rice circle" means that fans form an online group because they like the same idol. The "rice circle" is not derogatory, but when the "rice circle" is chaotic, it becomes a problem.

This year, the state launched a series of special actions to control the chaos of "rice circles" and guide the "rice circle culture", which achieved certain results. The "rice circle" in the entertainment circle is much quieter.

This year, we were also surprised to find that the chaos of "rice circle" is infiltrating into sports circle, live broadcast circle and even public occupation.

In the 10-meter platform final of the National Diving Championships in 2023, Chen Yuxi won the championship and Quan Hongchan won the runner-up. Some fans shouted in the stands that "the referee was unfair and deliberately suppressed the score of the whole red", which even led to an attack on Chen Yuxi and his family.

In the 2023-2024 season, the short track speed skating national team collectively voiced their rejection of cyber violence in the Beijing World Cup of the International Sliding Federation. Lin Xiaoao, a short track speed skater in China, wrote, "Individuals should not abuse the national team, coaches and other teammates in the name of liking me. I have made it clear many times that I will resist this behavior. Such people should also stop paying attention to short track speed skating. We don’t need such fans."

At the end of the year, Dong Yuhui’s "small composition" incident made "rice circle culture" become a widely discussed topic again. Sun Dongxu’s phrase "rejecting rice circle culture" caused an uproar, and he had to apologize and deny that "the fans selected by the East are rice circles". Yu Minhong also responded: He didn’t think there was any "rice circle culture" in the selection of the East, and he also resolutely resisted the "rice circle culture".

This year, what’s more, he registered a "punch card" for Dr. Gao Yan, maliciously occupying public resources and affecting the normal order of the hospital.

The "rice circle" is caused by love, but the chaos of the "rice circle" is "angry by love, hateful by love, stupid by love, and yearning by love". This is what we should really resist and escape. Behind its disorder and out of control, it is full of cyber violence, rumors, comparing with others to show off wealth and extravagant enjoyment, and even harassing its idols through extreme forms such as voyeurism, stalking and candid photography, which has become a public event. In April, 2023, Fan Zhendong, a table tennis player, announced that a woman had determined the room number of Fan Zhendong Hotel through many days’ tracking, and obtained the room card through the hotel front desk, and illegally invaded her room several times while she was out in Fan Zhendong.

Why should we be alert to the spread of "rice circle" chaos outside the entertainment circle and the infiltration of "rice circle culture" into public occupations?

The most terrible thing about "rice circle culture" is that "the desire to love makes it live, and the desire to hate makes it die". In the field of sports, the excessive behavior of some fans who are "loyal to the Lord" and the invisible kidnapping of "deep love and responsibility for competitors" may bring pressure to athletes. Olympic champion He Chong once published a long article, denouncing the "rice circle" behavior: "An athlete’s career should be gradual, from fledgling to gradually gaining a foothold, and finally reaching the top of the world. In this process, athletes will experience various emotions: tension, excitement, loss, and happiness, which are all indispensable components on the road to growth. " Bangsha and Bangsha are deformed idolize culture. This double-edged sword can not only bring support to athletes, but also bring them trouble and affect their performance on the field. This is especially true in the field of public occupation. The values embodied in public occupations such as doctors, teachers and policemen can best guide social values to judge the wind direction. Face value is not equal to justice, and professional ability is the criterion. The infiltration of "rice circle culture" will spread bad information to the society invisibly, which will have a greater impact on the formation of teenagers’ world outlook, outlook on life and values.

What kind of "rice rings" do we need?

People, love, of course, is a happy thing But love needs a boundary and a bottom line. A passage by table tennis player Malone was once a "idolize model" for many people: "Many times I wonder what kind of idols we need. I think idols should be candles and mirrors, reflecting you and us with love and dreams. " This is probably the meaning of idols. The "rice circle" we support is to root out the root cause, to support and encourage each other, to be rational and to become better selves.

The chaos of "rice circle" should be broken, shaping correct ideas and creating a clear community. Only by breaking the game can we see a bigger world and grow in the sun.
