News background
On the 18th, the official Weibo of Xi’an Metro posted a topic of “Meeting the Most Beautiful Xi’an”, saying that they took the initiative to help a female passenger with care and provided a photo of the person involved, which appeared to “have a picture and the truth”.
But soon, the person involved told the story on social media, accusing the official blog of Xi'an Metro of making up stories.
Xi'an Metro responded on the 19th: sincerely apologize to the passengers involved and the majority of netizens, and have instructed relevant responsible comrades and related personnel to deeply reflect on the inspection, and use this as a lesson to carry out a large-scale improvement of style services at all stations on the network to prevent similar problems.
The real time, place and relationship between the characters were used, and a few details were simply modified, so a simple fact was turned into a story of "Meeting the Most Beautiful Xi'an", which is essentially formalism.
The apology is an apology, but it does not seem to be "sincere" enough.
Because the core of the matter is not about taking photos and posting on Weibo without permission, but they lied.
The person involved did get help, but the process was completely different.
According to the person involved, she took the initiative, not the subway staff; she did not help immediately, but made her wait for ten minutes; there is no simple treatment, the medicine box is the props carried by the leader; the process of giving band-aids is counterproductive Repeatedly posing.
The person involved is a good understanding girl.
Originally, the "Love Service Station" of the Xi'an Metro was to provide assistance when passengers were in difficulty, and a band-aid also happened to be a kind of "needle thread brain" type of small trouble.
Give one if you have one, it doesn't matter if you don't have one.
As a result, they waited for a group of people to pose for promotional photos with "props".
This is where the person was frustrated. She seemed to have been "kidnapped" by a changed help. If you express dissatisfaction with waiting, it is easy to be regarded as ignorant of what is good or bad-and you don't owe you, so wait a while and complain. ?
So, she didn't say anything at first, until her photo appeared on Weibo.
American writer Ken Casey once lamented: "Let the facts go to hell! We need stories!" Xi'an Metro official blog seems to understand this, using real time, place and relationship between characters, but simply modified a few details , So he turned a simple fact into a story of "Meeting the Most Beautiful Xi'an".
One sentence in the statement of the situation is right: this is formalism.
Prior to this, there were also “positioning” photos posted on some websites that were exposed.
The similarity between propaganda and news is that facts must stand the test.
Even units and enterprises cannot fabricate propaganda, and facts cannot be exaggerated. Once fabricated, the so-called propaganda becomes negative equity.
I hope to use "love" to spread the beauty of Xi'an. The original intention is good. Xi'an Metro has set up a "love service station", which is also the embodiment of "beauty". However, don't forget at any time that there is "the most beautiful" based on truth. Chengdu Commercial Daily-Red Star News Special Commentator Ma Qing
