A website interviewed me on the question of network real name sytem. I sort it out as the following:
In line with the principle of making no damage to the legitimate interests of society and other people, we can talk freely, do whatever we want to and try our best to gain the rights of being informed and expression which are available to us in our real life. More people should be made the participants and advocates of the social progress on a whole. At least, they must become passionate on-lookers rather than blind and deaf stupid people. Only in this way, a healthy network life can emerge.
The significance of real name system is that it can be traced in the future.
Q: Will you be able to express what you are thinking in your inner heart in a completely true manner if you use your real name? If you will, I will raise two hands of mine to show my support for the implementation of real name system; if your real name becomes a mask for you, then please suspend it.
A: In my opinion, in light of the current situation, the disadvantages of implementing the real name sysytem outweigh its advantages. In recent years, such hot social events as BMW Case, the most persistent nail household(the people who refuse to move somewhere else when the govrnment reclaims their land for other uses) and the fake pictue of Huanan Tiger have been actively promoted and supervised online. As a result, some people who violate the law or make illegal use of their power have been frightened by the public opinions, and China's legal system and democratic undertakings have been advanced. Those immoral people have the courage of speaking truth only when they put on Don Quixote-like masks and armors. If you ask them to take off these masks and armors, they will once again turn to coward and menial ant-like people.
A society in which politics is not highly wise and open, people's rights are not practically guaranteed and true freedom is not available for speaking and expression will only make real name sysytem a tool that shackles our mind. If we force real name system to be put into practice too early today, the only result is that the practice of singing praises while ignoring mistakes and mishandlings of the government will spread to network from news broadcast.
But I believe that China has been striding towards the kind of open and wise political system. The society will pay more and more respect to your name. We will also repsect our own names even more.
I think we 'd better not compel the real name system to be implemented even if the conditions are sufficient. In the great times when various kinds of flowers are in blossom, we can't forbid the growth of grass. The poisonous grass surely exists, but we can not shackle the spring scenery of the whole garden just for forbidding the poisonous grass.
