Cross talk is the same culture as rap

Criticism from the bottom, anti-elitism, but rap can be commercialized under the American democratic system and finally become part of the trend. Eminem can use the U.S. Congress as a background to scold the president on the stage, and thousands of people cheer. This is unthinkable in China.

In contrast, Chinese cross talk is also a critical culture. It comes from the bottom. Under China’s system, it is actually more difficult for cross talk to maintain its true qualities. If you want to be in the mainstream media, you must be called for peace, and it has become a celebration of socialism. Guo Degang, who is recognized by the audience and comes from the bottom, also despises authority (mainly being persecuted by authority) for the mainstream’s deep malaise. This is a national hero in a country like China and requires considerable courage.
People who are not from the bottom can not tell the real cross talk, and the unoppressed angry youth cannot be the real punk. It is precious to maintain a critical spirit in this era of national entertainment. Just as Chen Danqing said: Don't believe in authority, don't believe in any authority! Taoism also advocates the spirit of skepticism. This is what the enslaved Chinese lack. Keep your own attitude. Keep your own style. Don’t follow the trend. Be yourself and someone will remember you.
