FT中文网的与某个名人一起午餐的报道，看起来比较有意思

2015-6-30

One red princeling Hu Shiying posted a photo of a private gathering of China's red princelings, in which a infamous red guard Song Yaowu appeared.

The party was hosted by Xi Jinping, then CCP Party Boss in Zhejiang Province. Others appeared in this photo includes Bo Xicheng (son of Bo Yibo and brother of Bo Xilai), Liu Yuan (son of Liu Shaoqi), Wang Qishan (son in law of Yao Yilin), Yang Li (daughter of Yang Shangkun), Chen Yuan (son of Chen Yun) among others. Song Yaowu is the women 4th from left in the front. Xi Jinping is 3rd from right in the second row.

Song, together with another Red Guard Deng Rong (daughter of Deng Xiaoping), killed their teacher Bian Zhongyun, the first teacher to be killed by students in the Great Cultural Revolution. The incident opened an era when red guards across the country were mobilized to take over schools by violence. Many more teachers would be tortured and killed in the next few years.

One of those from whom Hu Jie got evidence was another teacher at the school, Lin Mang.In the film Lin states that the Red Guards beat Bian Zhongyun in a toilet room. He described one of the perpetrators as a tall, thin girl. Lin also stated in the film that Red Guards forced him to carry Bian's body after her murder.

Based upon subsequent additional credible evidence received,the tall, thin girl who Lin saw beating Bian was Liu Tingting, daughter of Liu Shaoqi, the president of China.

比如这篇与洪晃一起午餐

内容大致上就是一本叫做《格调》的书的某个章节的翻版

提及名人的八卦新闻

在格调这本书，认为名人八卦的出现，其作用就是为了缓解一下贫富差距过大，给人一个口头发泄的渠道

竞争的本质就是带来马太效应https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh/%E9%A9%AC%E5%A4%AA%E6%95%88%E5%BA%94，表现在娱乐界，哪怕一个人是演戏为主业，但只要他演得好，他就可以从事任何行业，有些人就会出书，尽管他文笔很糟，有些人出唱片，尽管他唱得更糟，有些人还去做生意，哪怕他根本不适合经商

在其他行业的马太效应也是如此

而名人八卦杂志，就是对抗马太效应，说一些这些名人的丑事，用以缓解马太效应带来的贫富差距过大而形成的现实

但是这种八卦新闻，在格调这本书中说过，其实对于平抑贫富差距不起任何作用

马太效应还是马太效应，一个人在某些方面拥有成就出名以后，不管有什么不利于他的舆论，他还是可以在其他行业继续发展或赚钱

所以格调这本书说，只有底层的人，喜欢追逐这种八卦，但现实生活尤其贫富差距不因这种八卦而有任何改变

而关于洪晃的午餐，提到名人的高调与低调

也跟格调这本书的内容有关

所不同的是，格调那本书认为，美国的名人为了避免自己成为靶子而选择低调生活，也有很多人担心自己受到慈善基金会的纠缠，而选择不露富

但是中国的名人却没有这种顾虑
