Anti-Thief Manifesto: I am not a good person, nor a saint, so you are doomed!

I am neither a good person nor a saint; those who harm my rights will pay a heavy price. This time, I will take you - Situ Wen - as a sacrificial flag, using your disgrace to comfort the dignity of all original creators!

Some say he is a patriotic blogger who helps spread patriotic views; isn't that a good thing? Can't you give him a break? Nonsense, what is a patriotic blogger? This term itself is the greatest absurdity because there is no such thing as a patriotic blogger in today’s China. If we were to go back 85 years, when the country was shattered and the people were struggling, with the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders trampling our homeland, if you told me to be patriotic, it would be the highest praise for my character, meaning I might have shed blood and contributed to this land. But today, when you praise me for being patriotic, it’s like praising me for being a human; I would even doubt if you are actually complimenting me.

Today, China is rich and strong, with advanced technology and industrial scale sufficient to compete with the entire Western G7. National rejuvenation is in sight, and returning to the pinnacle of the world is just around the corner. In such a country, which mentally sound person would not love it? Among 1.4 billion people, you might find at most 0.1% who are not patriotic; these people are either mentally abnormal or have taken money from the Japanese Foreign Ministry.

Secondly, what is patriotism? In the legal and moral systems of most countries, it is the most basic obligation of citizens. And what is law? It is the bottom line of social morality, the standard that civilized society members must abide by. This is the standard of being human; what is there to praise? So today in China, when you praise me for being patriotic, it’s equivalent to praising me for being a human; I can only remain speechless.

Look at today’s online platforms, with so many bloggers, how many are not patriotic? Occasionally, there are one or two individuals with distorted values, like that one who talks about Android people and Apple people; they are truly rare and immediately attract nationwide attention and criticism. Now even some high-profile individuals who have left are starting to eagerly express their patriotism.......

Thirdly, today’s China, compared to the impoverished and weak old China of 1840, is like a phoenix reborn from the flames of hell, a legendary hero staging an astonishing comeback. This is the absolute male lead that can instantly kill all爽文（refreshing literature）; it’s like a wealthy and handsome CEO rising from the bottom; who wouldn’t love that? Therefore, there has never been such a thing as a patriotic blogger. There are only those who do political analysis, those who interpret finance, and those who share history, nothing more. Patriotism is the background color, the background sound, not a separate professional field.

I often say I am like the brother sleeping on the upper bunk, the taxi driver chatting with you while driving. I am just sharing my views on international situations and social realities. Broadly speaking, fulfilling civic duties, patriotism is a duty; narrowly speaking, I am just expressing personal opinions, which have little direct relation to the grand concept of patriotism itself. If merely talking can earn the title of patriotism, how should we view those heroes who sacrificed their lives to defend the homeland in the icy valleys of Galwan? Isn’t that the most serious desecration of the term patriotism?

However, what angers and mocks me the most is that those shameless thieves who plagiarize my articles rely on reciting my writings, appearing sanctimoniously on platforms, being praised by countless comments as teachers who are so patriotic, as pillars of the nation. Every time I see this scene, I truly feel like spitting blood - I not only lack the qualification to call myself patriotic, but I also feel ashamed towards the country and society. I am sorry to the country! Sorry to the people! Because my original content has become the material that packages these opportunists as patriotic masters! What they steal is not only my articles; they are also consuming the patriotic feelings of the entire nation, pushing the word patriotism into vulgarity and commercialization, which is absolutely intolerable! Therefore, I must make them pay a heavy price!

I must strip off their hypocritical facade and must not let them continue to tarnish the sacred word patriotism! This is not only to seek justice but also to protect the purest and most cherished emotion.
