While the "Fat Girl Incident" caused a social sensation in China, it also received strong attention from the media in the West.
As early as Ye Wei posted the good news about his visit to the slums of Nairobi, Kenya, Africa, delivering supplies to children and showing movies to the children on his blog, and called on the world to care for African children, it had already been reported by Western media, especially the American media.
Children, charity, what are you doing? Either they don't report it like the media who don't like Ye Wei, and when they report it, of course there will be a round of applause.
There are only a few celebrities in the United States who do not do charity. They usually have more or less charitable deeds.
Some of these charities are based on morality. The United States has a community service culture. Whether in universities or primary and secondary schools, students participate in public welfare services all year round. Private services are required, and public services are increasingly required. According to statistics, Americans over the age of 12 More than 60% of young people have participated in various volunteer activities. Many of this spirit of helping others will continue.
Some charities are also motivated by profit. It¡¯s too bad not to do charity these days. If others do it but you don¡¯t do it, then what reputation do you have as a star?
"This has become a competition, not only in the United States, but also overseas, in poor countries and regions. Large brokerage companies such as CAA have one-stop charity services.
But no matter what kind of charity it is, two things must be paid for charity, one is money and the other is time.
Like Ye Wei, it was finally reported by the media that "viy went on vacation". It was not a tourist attraction, but Africa, which is poor and dangerous, and a lot of money had to be spent.
Even if he is putting on a show, not everyone is willing to do this show, and very few people will do it.
Angelina Jolie went to Cambodia to film "Tomb Raider" in 2000. Because she was deeply touched by the local refugees and history of blood and tears, her outlook on life changed drastically and she started a charity journey. First, he took the initiative to become a volunteer for the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR). Within a year, he went to two African refugee camps, and then worked in refugee camps in Cambodia and Pakistan.
? 2001-8-27 She was appointed as a goodwill ambassador by UNHCR. Since then, she has visited refugee camps around the world every year, and has fought against war, made peace, and called on the world to care for refugees. When she was single, she donated 1/3 of her income to refugees. Together with Brad Pitt, she established the "Jolie-Pitt Charitable Foundation" to provide support for more than 30 charities.
In 2002, she adopted her first child, 7-month-old Makdos from Cambodia; in 2005, she adopted a daughter, 6-month-old Saara from Ethiopia; 2006-5-27, She gave birth to her and Pete's first daughter, Shiloh, in Namibia, Africa. The two sold Shiloh's first photo to "People" and "Hello!" and donated all the proceeds of 4.1 million and 3.5 million to United Nations Children. Foundation to prevent the paparazzi from getting the money.
In recent days, Jolie has publicly stated that if "Fat Girl" does not find her parents, she will adopt her.
She has also made practical actions, financial investments and achievements in ecological protection and community development, children's immigration and education, human rights and women's rights in Africa.
The relationship between Jolie, Jolie and Pitt is very controversial. She has never been a good girl and was rebellious when she was young. But when people talk about her achievements in charity and humanitarian causes, they all give her two thumbs up.
Whoever wants to compete with her for the applause must actually do what she did.
¡°Compared to Julie, Ye Wei¡¯s current charity achievements are still far behind.
Is there anyone who was not rebellious, controversial, and passionate about charity when they were young? Of course there are, like Audrey Hepburn in her later years.
Like Amy Rosen, in 2008, at the age of 22, she served as the official spokesperson for the world's most influential breast cancer prevention and control campaign "Pink Ribbon", and she is also an international non-profit organization that provides humanitarian aid around the world. Ambassadors of institutional lurethids. In 2009, she walked at the front of a street march protesting Proposition 8, which opposed gay marriage rights. In 2012, she participated in public welfare services of the Natural Resources Defense Council (nrcb) and also contributed to the environmental protection work of "Global Green-USA". She has been contributing to the protection of stray pets and wildlife rescue.
It¡¯s all non-profit work, you still have to pay for it, and there¡¯s still a lot of work to do. Being the official spokesperson of "Pink Ribbon" has to be done from August to the end of the year, but other actresses of the same age will not stop and are working hard to gain the top spot in their screen careers. But this is not a problem for Rosen. She suddenly retired as early as early 2006.
Regarding being the spokesperson, Amy Rosen said: "I am grateful for this opportunity to help young women raise awareness of breast cancer. I hope to encourage women like me to strengthen their awareness of preventing and treating this disease and live a healthy life." life. I¡¯m proud to support Susan Coleman¡¯s commitment to ending the progression of breast cancer.¡±
¡°All charities and foundations, only you know whether they are sincere or not, but even if the foundations are set up by rich people to avoid taxes and gain fame, only celebrities do it.¡±Despite the turmoil, people still did something. The media and the public have a consensus on this. If one thing is the same, charity should be praised.
Ye Wei, the 18-year-old "Sunshine Badass", no one thought he would run to the North Pole, and no one thought he would run to Africa. There was no news before, until the Teen Choice Awards acceptance speech and Disclosure in person.
Such is the topic-making machine. A trip to the North Pole, where a video of polar bears amusing him became popular around the world; a trip to Africa, the media applauded, and supporters were moved by his photos of slums and savannahs: a little black girl standing Looking directly at the camera in the iron door frame of the dilapidated house, shining innocent black eyes and smiling face; a group of children are playing cloth football in the mud pit; under the sunset, a female elephant rubs her baby with her trunk
It looked like he had been reborn in Africa. TMZ and other entertainment gossip websites all exclaimed: "Viy is really getting over it?"
When Han Shan¡¯s poems were translated, did Ye Wei become a believer in Buddhism?
A young genius who decided to search for "the true meaning of the East" when he was 19 years old. From a hippie to a Zen man, from a bohemian to a calm mind, he went to practice in India and almost became a monk. He believed in Zen Buddhism and was a strict vegetarian. He took a bath once a week and was filled with stench. In the early stages of pancreatic cancer, I did not accept modern medical and surgical treatment. I used spiritual therapy, dietary therapy, herbal therapy, and even psychic witch doctors. "I didn't want them to cut my body open." I delayed the operation until it was too late, which delayed the best treatment. Timing, perfectionist, idealist, talking about Steve Jobs.
Zen is the dream or fantasy of hippies.
Ye Wei's public religious beliefs have always been weird and contradictory "atheist + pantheist". People gradually came to know that this kid seemed to believe in everything, including God, Buddha, gods, and saints, but he also seemed to believe in everything. Believe nothing. A Hanshan poem tells of his devotion to Zen and his trip to China.
This translated poem received less praise than female fans exclaimed: ¡°Viy, don¡¯t become a monk!¡±
However, things soon took a 180-degree turn. Just when Ye Wei seemed to be at peace with the world, the "Fat Girl Incident" happened.
Children and charity again, China? Human rights issue!
There are street children in developing countries, and the problem of abduction occurs all over the world, so this is not a regular tool for the West to attack China, but this time it is different. Ye Wei opened up the situation. Whether it is for political purposes or not, the mainstream media in the West has China's human rights situation has been questioned.
Ye Wei didn't pay any attention to it. His attitude was clearly stated in "Let the Baby Go Home". He wanted these voices to scold the "officials" and force them to do something.
But at the same time, he was also scolded. Some right-wing American media accused him of being too pro-China, and some of his remarks were simply treasonous.
This war of words doomed the right-wing forces to failure from the very beginning.
The United States is a country of immigrants, and dual citizenship is too common. There are new immigrants, such as Angelina Jolie in the United States + Cambodia. Ye Wei is talking about the United States + China. This is not the first time he has said this. He has always had a clear stance on Sino-US relations, which is universally accepted: "World peace and never war."
?That is, because the rise of China poses a threat to the United States, these remarks are made.
But what viy is talking about is not politics, and what he is doing is not a bad thing, but a great humanitarian thing. The right-wing forces cannot accuse him of taking care of street children in China. The so-called "Ye Wei does not love the United States" is also full of subjectivity. The left-wing media have angrily accused the right wing of politicizing Ye Wei's kindness. This is racial persecution of a young man.
Ye Wei hasn¡¯t responded yet, and some left-wingers can¡¯t sit still.
Oliver Stone, a 60-year-old man, joined the army and fought in the Vietnam War when he was young. After the war, he began to focus on anti-war and anti-Americanism for 30 years. The most famous and influential ones are naturally the Vietnam War trilogy "Platoon", "Born on the Fourth of July", "Heaven and Earth", as well as "Wall Street", "JFK", "Nixon", etc. Won the Oscar for Best Director twice (a total of 3 Oscar wins and 8 unsuccessful nominations).
He is not pro-American or pro-China, and he always has a bad temper and is objective about everything. He once angered the Chinese community as the screenwriter of "Year of the Dragon" (1985), but he is also one of the producers of Wang Ying's "The Joy Luck Club" (1993). In the course of time, in his speech in Hiroshima, Japan, in 2013, he criticized Japan as a lackey of the "bully" United States, criticized the Japanese government's attitude of tampering with history, and should apologize to China and even the whole of Asia.
Whenever an opinion comes up, he dares to scold anyone. Whenever a scandal breaks out in the United States, it must involve Oliver Stone. No, "Snowden" directed and written by him was released in 2016.
In early September 2006, he denounced the persecution of Ye Wei by right-wing elements to the Los Angeles Times, which was completely contrary to the so-called universal values ??promoted by the United States, was full of lies, and was very disgusting.The extremely influential 76-year-old Beat King Gary Snyder also spoke out. This Zen master who usually lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests praised Ye Wei's good deeds and said: "We are all children of nature, and only if all living beings are in harmony, Only by understanding what the Buddha said about the four elements being empty can we truly gain freedom.¡±
On September 2, Ye Wei wrote on his blog in response: "This is really inexplicable! I don't want people with ulterior motives to make this big mess. To put it simply, my charity has nothing to do with politics. If I had superhuman strength, I will go wherever you need me, all over the world, I will eventually have it.¡±
The secretaries all support viy, and the objective neutrals also support him this time. His love for China is his freedom. It is China and it is not a political party. How many "Snyders" love it, but it is not allowed for a Chinese to love it. ? Has he done less charity in the United States? Praise is the right thing!
"Ye Weifang's momentum is so great that the right-wing media and the black people can only end it hastily. Originally, they just wanted to be angry. What can they do? Nowhere in the world is as disunified as the United States.
After all the fuss, people who liked Ye Wei continued to like him and liked him even more; people who hated Ye Wei continued to hate him and hated him even more.
Most young people don¡¯t care about this at all. They only know that viy dares to provoke polar bears and is also passionate about charity. It¡¯s really cool.
