背景介绍:
Qigong Master’s Trouble
Wang Lin, a mysterious martial arts and Taoist philosophy master, who was accused of fraud, could face punishment for alleged illegal practice of medicine, the Beijing News reported Monday.
Photos showing Ma Yun (Jack Ma), the billionaire founder and ex-CEO of the Alibaba Group, visiting Wang, in Luxi county, Jiangxi province has sparked revulsion online. Other celebrities such as actor Jet Li and actress Zhao Wei were also guests of Wang according to photos he has shown. Even top officials including Liu Zhijun, the dismissed minister of railway visited Wang and former health minister Chen Minzhang was shown receiving treatment by Wang.
People expressed shock that so many well-educated and successful elites are easily fooled by an alleged charlatan like Wang.
话题:
1. How come so many people, especially the elites, are still obsessed with ‘Masters’ nowadays?
2. What do you think of superstition in our culture? How many superstitions do you know in Chinese culture?
3. Say something related with this topic.
范例1:
Superstition is always a key word in Chinese culture that has been discussed countless times in the public. And there are various superstitions in our daily life. As far as I am concerned, most of them are connected with fortune, another important key word in Chinese culture.
Personally, those absurd phenomena mirror elites’ general feelings of lacking a sense of safety from financial aspect to political aspect. They are deeply aware of many potential risks that cannot be controlled by them may jeopardise their fortune and power. Without any efficient solution, they have no choice but to consult with those masters in the hope of bringing extra fortune to bless them. Hence, I would prefer to look on those phenomena as a sort of ‘self-consolation’ rather than ‘blind superstition’.
