Sun Yuchen’s latest long post to Hu Xijin, translated into plain talk—really just three points:

First: The “dignity” of the older generation—if you get the short end of the stick, don’t make a fuss; swallow it—that’s called having a big picture.
The dignity of the younger—why should I? Bring the contract; let’s settle the accounts clearly.

Second: The older generation believes in banquets, favors, and who gives whom face.
Younger people are more willing to believe in law, contracts, and algorithms.
Algorithms may be cold, but at least they don’t know who your dad is.

Third, and this is the most ruthless question: Where should a person’s wealth truly come from—“who you know and what position you sit in,” or from “what you create”?

So the best line in the whole piece is: “The greatest dignity is not having to talk about dignity.”

When a society keeps telling people to be “more magnanimous,” to “let it go,” to “give some face,” often it’s not that everyone cares too much about dignity—rather, the rules themselves aren’t dignified enough.

Of course, the darkest kind of humor is that this whole philosophy of “believing in rules, not in favors” was actually preached by Sun Yuchen.
