Under the "abnormal state" of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, various problems and contradictions are spewing out in China. Among them, the split between the official and private public opinion fields is particularly prominent in today's Internet age.
From "except Hu Xijin, no one cares about the economy anymore" to the announcement by Li Qiang, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of the Shanghai Party Congress, to win the battle to defend the Greater Shanghai, to the controversy over the "next five years" in the report of the Beijing Party Congress, it is not difficult to see that the official mainstream The disconnect between narrative and social conditions and public opinion, in other words, the official public opinion field and the folk public opinion field are similar to two parallel tracks.

On May 20, an online article titled "No one cares about the economy except Hu Xijin" became popular. The reason why this article can resonate strongly with the society is that it not only expresses economists, intellectuals, and entrepreneurs. The helplessness of caring about the economy in the face of the current situation also aroused the general public's memory of the basic national policy of "focusing on economic construction".
No one cares about the economy except Hu Xijin?
The decision-making level has obviously been concerned about the economy, and has been emphasizing the need to focus on economic construction, but at the social level, there have been concerns and imaginations that "no one cares about the economy anymore".
There are two reasons for this dislocation:
On the one hand, under the unswerving anti-epidemic policy of "dynamic clearing", all localities are still "preventing the epidemic at all costs" in order to be politically correct, and have not achieved true accurate epidemic prevention. This has brought a huge impact on the economy and people's livelihood, which has caused a huge impact on the outside world. Create a misunderstanding that "for epidemic prevention, the economy can not";
On the other hand, some voices running for the economy and people's livelihood were either considered "distortion, suspicion, and denial" of China's epidemic prevention policy, so they were deleted and silenced, or they wanted to say nothing like economist Li Daokui. , can only offer advice and suggestions by calculating a confused life account, but it has the opposite effect at the social level, and "concerning about the economy" has turned into a voice for those in power.
On May 20, an online article titled "No one cares about the economy except Hu Xijin" became popular, and Hu Xijin was immediately pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

From this perspective, the "except Hu Xijin, no one cares about the economy anymore" storm, although it is a false proposition that cannot stand scrutiny, but through a public opinion resonance, the gap between the two public opinion fields, the official and the private, has been opened up. temperature difference".
Following the "no one cares about the economy" storm, two other incidents exposed the same problem.
On June 25, Shanghai held the 12th National Congress, and Li Qiang, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, said in a report, "Since March this year, in the face of a new wave of unprecedented severe and complex epidemics... curb the epidemic at a very critical juncture. The exponential upward momentum has broken the stalemate and repeated situation of the epidemic in the stage of tackling and clearing, realizing and consolidating the results of dynamic social clearing, and winning the battle to defend Shanghai."
Just one day later, on June 27th, the 13th Beijing Municipal Congress opened. The Beijing Daily, the official newspaper of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, reported, "This morning, the 13th Beijing Municipal Congress of the Communist Party of China opened. Comrade Cai Qi Make a report to the party congress. In the next five years, Beijing will unswervingly do a good job of normalizing epidemic prevention and control. Unswervingly adhere to the general strategy of "foreign defense import, internal defense rebound" and the general policy of "dynamic clearing"..." which mentioned The keyword "next five years" that arrived, quickly detonated public opinion and poured another pot of cold water on the people who had low expectations and confidence.
From Li Qiang, Secretary of the Listing Committee of the Shanghai Party Congress, announcing to win the battle to defend Shanghai, to the controversy over the "next five years" in the report of the Beijing Party Congress, although from an official perspective, Shanghai has won the battle of defense, but it has paid However, the price is heavy. Many people have not yet come out of the haze of the epidemic. Is it appropriate to declare victory at this time?
As for Beijing's "next five years", although it turned out to be an editorial oolong, the occurrence of this oolong at least shows that the official lack of sensitivity to the general mentality of the general public in the protracted battle against the epidemic.

Under the "abnormal state" of the epidemic, there are many similar cases.
For example, during the epidemic in Shanghai, the public opinion field was frantically reposting "The Voice of April" and "Shanghai People's Patience Has Reached the Limit", but the official public opinion field was still following the steps and following the script, delivering positive energy; when Xi'an was statically controlled, people were trapped. Residents are asking for help online, some people are starving because the supplies are not available, and the officials are still talking to themselves.
In addition, concerns and controversies surrounding "closing the country", such as "dynamic clearing", will become an oolong of the basic national policy. Under normal circumstances, these rumors are difficult to stand up, let alone cause a public opinion storm. However, in the context of the epidemic, these concerns from the public are real, and through the accumulation of specific events, the two public opinion fields that have weakened mutual trust are constantly torn apart.
The official counts "big accounts", while the public counts "small accounts"
People often say that the butt determines the head. For decision makers, it must be the thinking of calculating the general account, the big account, and the overall account. Chang Jile, deputy director of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, released a series of press releases on the theme of "This Ten Years in China". At the meeting, it was said, "The cost of evaluating policies and measures for epidemic prevention and control should be calculated in a general ledger, and the country as a whole should be considered as a large economic account, a large social account, a large people's livelihood account, and a large health account." "If the general account is calculated. my country's prevention and control measures are the most economical and effective."
However, for the public, only small accounts and specific accounts can be calculated. When such small accounts and specific accounts meet the official large and general accounts, tensions at the level of public opinion will inevitably arise. For example, the official public opinion field regards epidemic prevention and control as an achievement It is difficult to resonate with the public opinion field, which is under heavy economic and psychological pressure.
As early as 2002, when then-Premier Zhu Rongji visited Hong Kong, he said in his speech at the Government House of Hong Kong, "Because I have been engaged in the economy in China for more than half a century, for more than 50 years, I have every pulse of the Chinese economy. , I can still hear it.” For today’s rulers everywhere, it is also necessary to “hear every beat of the pulse of society”, or at least empathize with the general mentality of the public under the epidemic, And timely adjust the method of dialogue with the society, gradually increase the mutual trust between officials and the people, and bridge the accelerating split between official and private public opinion.
And this is also the list of tasks that the top 20 must face.
