After the video successfully made netizens laugh and angered Professor Yang’s fans, Xu Shang continued to output:
"Seeing so many addictions in society, everyone is suffering from addiction! I am so anxious! I am really worried. If this continues, will our country and our nation still have a future?"
"At this moment, I heard a light——"
"Here he comes, he comes with vigorous steps! Here he comes, he comes in on auspicious clouds! The great Internet addiction doctor, the addiction savior of all mankind, Professor Yang Lide, he has arrived!"
"I couldn't help but shout to him: 'Help me, Mr. Yang Lide!' But Professor Yang showed me his POS machine - otherwise he would be called a savior, and he would always clearly mark the price!"
"Wow! It only takes half a year! With just a small amount of money, your child can experience a learning gratitude education therapy. This is such a good deal. I'll buy it!"
"What? There is a discount for one year! Only RMB! Who in the family understands, what a huge discount this is! Savior, you can't do this, you will lose money. What! Savior Professor Yang, even if he loses money or dies, he will give feedback to the relatives and friends today."
"Time is limited, first come first served, if you buy it you will make a profit, if you are late they will all be sold out. You only need to work hard on the construction site for two years to buy your son a year of gratitude education therapy, it is a great deal——"
“Hahahahahahahaha!”
In front of countless computers, netizens laughed joyfully. Some laughed so hard that they fell forward and backward, some laughed so hard that their bodies shook, and some excitedly banged their desks, causing the people downstairs to shout in anger, "Can you please change the time to renovate the house upstairs?"
It is not difficult to imagine the level of dimensionality reduction attack that those lousy memes of later generations would have in this era.
Friends in Xu Shang Bar immediately deified Xu Shang.
"If the Heaven had not given birth to Emperor Xu, the Internet would have been in darkness forever!"
Of course, Professor Yang’s fans were not among them. They were so angry that they screamed and cursed in the comment section, just like a shrew scolding a street woman. However, in the video, Xu Shang put away his funny remarks and showed his true colors in a serious manner:
"Okay, let's stop talking about Professor Yang for now. I have something to say to the parents of Professor Yang who are concerned about him."
"Some of you parents are totally ridiculous. Spending this much money on Internet addiction treatment in this day and age? You really think money is dirt."
"If it were up to you, you should just slap the kids in the face with the money and tell them what to do, like how many points they need in the college entrance exam, and the money will be theirs. Of course, given that some parents currently have very poor credit, you can find a third-party guarantor, preferably one who can pay a thousand or eight hundred first, but you can't guarantee all of it, but at least six out of ten of these kids will immediately fall in love with studying."
"Some of you, on the one hand, say that you have devoted everything you have to your children, but on the other hand, you don't give them any pocket money, saying that boys should be raised in poverty; on the other hand, you give Professor Yang things like tens of thousands of yuan. What else can you do except cry your eyes out with emotion?"
With these last few sentences, Xu Shang could be said to be directly insulting some people.
After all, a dozen years later, some parents who once complained and criticized "Internet addiction" are now holding their mobile phones all day long. In their own words, "Have you fallen into the screen and can't get out?"
The concept of Internet addiction suddenly disappeared, and even being able to use computers has become a kind of "excellence". After all, when some universities were teaching computer courses, they were horrified to find that some freshmen did not even know how to turn on the computer - and they were enrolled in computer majors.
…
The video caused an uproar, just as Xu Shang had expected.
But the result was just as Xu Shang had expected, and he was met with an overwhelming amount of abuse.
However, Xu Shang himself admitted that there are very objective reasons for the existence of these insults.
After all, in this era, if you go to those game halls and Internet cafes, you will see stories of parents holding willow branches and dragging their children home while they cry loudly, almost every day.
These cheap entertainment venues with poor management have also become gathering places for street thugs and hooligans, leaving an extremely bad and deep impression on the entire society.
But this should not be the original sin of children. What have they done wrong? They are just pursuing happiness and new things. This is their nature, but they are labeled as "Internet addiction" and then ruthlessly "corrected".
Xu Shang was ready to continue fighting, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated the impact of his video.
As a blogger with more than 2 million followers and also a pioneer of new creative video forms (for later generations), Xiao Xu said that once this form was launched, it immediately triggered a trend of copying.
Many broadcasters can’t think of any new current events to discuss, so they just copy the topic together.
Thus, "Xiao Zhang Talks about Internet Addiction", "Xiao Liu Talks about Internet Addiction", "Lao La Talks about Internet Addiction", "Lao Lu Talks about Internet Addiction", all kinds of talks about Internet addiction popped up like mushrooms after a rain, and many Tudou viewers were puzzled as to why the topic of Internet addiction suddenly became popular among the whole nation.
Xu Shang discovered that even Director Kong, who was filming the show, posted a video to gain popularity.
"Hello everyone, I am the director of Dream Builders, my last name is Kong. Xu Shang is the first guest of our show, I have also watched his video, and I agree with him very much. Many parents nowadays directly blame the so-called problems on the Internet or video games, I think it is wrong!"
"As a person of the older generation, I had a relatively rich life when I was a child, so I have a deeper understanding of this. Parents always find a scapegoat, which can be martial arts novels or watching TV. But now, it has become surfing the Internet or playing computer games..."
Xu Shang silently added in his mind that in the future it could also be a mobile phone or a short video.
In fact, in Xu Shang's opinion, it's all bullshit.
How could a person who is full of heart be confused by these things?
Many adults who graduated from college and entered society in later generations were also addicted to games when they were young, and many even felt that they were probably addicted to the Internet. But when they entered society and worked hard to earn money, they bought the best game consoles, the best computers, a large collection of cassettes and CDs, and a lot of platform add-ons...but they found that they had not opened a game or played it seriously for several months.
At this moment, the clouds have cleared and the truth has come to light. It turns out that the so-called Internet addiction is nothing more than the happiness that can no longer be easily obtained by them.
