The So-Called "Second Wu Jinglian" -- the Lang Xianping Phenomenon Is Nothing But a Dog-Eat-Dog Fight Between the New Left and the Liberals

The current dispute between the New Left and the Liberals in academic circles has been a farce from start to finish. Many incidents have occurred along the way. This so-called "Second Wu Jinglian" -- the Lang Xianping phenomenon -- is merely another minor episode. Put bluntly, it's just jockeying for favor.

When Wu Jinglian was at the height of his influence in 2001, what was he doing behind the scenes? Just ask what CICC was up to at the time. Who benefited most when the B-share market was opened? What are the dark secrets here? Would Mr. Wu Jinglian dare to come out and respond? By the same token, the things behind Mr. Lang Xianping's current glory are also things that dare not be spoken.

Never mind that Mr. Lang Xianping criticized Li Ka-shing and then became Li Ka-shing's man, or that he attacked Delong and then worked for Delong -- that's old history. This time, when Yang Fan goaded you to come out, didn't it feel quite gratifying? But the real purpose -- you can say one thing publicly, but in your heart, isn't it quite clear?

The Liberal side isn't much better either. Getting bitten this time, they hastened to bite back. Some went into hiding, some jumped out -- the rhythm was rather well coordinated, clearly organized.

Dogs fighting over bones -- everyone else can only watch the show. As for who's in pain and who's enjoying it, nobody else is interested. The New Left and Liberals under China's current conditions will undoubtedly continue their endless farces. This is just one act.
