I don’t know if everyone remembers that Hunan Satellite TV had a terrible program called “Marx Meets Confucius”, and also invited Guo Jicheng to stand on the stage.
At that time, the program invited a big bearded man to play Marx. Through a series of confusing and misleading statements, a ridiculous and absurd point of view was reached: Marx was already a Chinese.

A few days ago, a professor from Hunan University put forward a new argument: Marx was already a Chinese. I’m so pissed off, this move by Central South University is really too ruthless.
I don’t know why, the former is Hunan Satellite TV, and the latter is Hunan University. I reasonably suspect that there is a certain sequential relationship here, because before Hunan Satellite TV made the program “Marx Meets Confucius”, they also borrowed the Yuelu Academy of Hunan University. I have stayed in Hunan for many years, and I can only say that the people of Hunan are not like this, it’s just that the ideologues are too unscrupulous.
When I saw this article, I realized that I should save it quickly. As expected, a few hours later, this embarrassing article was deleted, and we can read it from the beginning.
The article begins by writing that Marx’s ancestors came from China. Marx’s ancestors arrived in Europe from China with the Mongol army in the Yuan Dynasty. Marx’s ancestors were Hui people in China, and tracing back further, they were also descendants of the Jews of the Zhou Dynasty. Hui people and Jews in the world once had a common origin in history, originating from the Huaxia ethnic group.

There are too many points to complain about, I don’t know where to start. The Zhou Dynasty and Judaism are almost the same old things. You mean, the Jews and Judaism came to China in the Zhou Dynasty, and then they migrated to Europe in the long history and finally gave birth to Marx in Prussia, right?
Oh, this is definitely a historical invention of the geographical discovery level. I see that some people are not willing to be inferior to others, and their hands and feet are not very clean.
Friends who have written graduation theses must know that when you do academic research and write papers, you must have a reason, that is, what gap your research and viewpoints fill. Your academics must have value. I think Du Gangjian has filled a gap in China, which is to embrace the best things in the world into its own arms without any limit, just like South Korea.
The following is even more full of nonsense,
It says that Marx’s family has a Muslim culture. Existing documents have not found any records of Marx eating pork, because Marx followed the regulations of the Quran, and Marx’s wife was named Jenny Marx, who also came from a Muslim family.

Jenny’s original name is Johanna “Jenny” Berta Julie von Westphalen. You can tell from this name that she was born into a noble family in Prussia, from the old Junkers, how could she be a Muslim?
I held my nose and read this article to the end. Professor Du even proposed that Marx’s descendants were reincarnated as a Chinese monk. Amitabha, isn’t it said that the Eastern gods don’t care about Western affairs?
I checked carefully, and this Professor Du doesn’t seem to be Hui either. As for why he is a Muslim, because Marx’s surname is Ma…
Okay, since you’re like this, what can I do? I can only comply. The logic of the whole article is the same as that of indigenous Christianity. Three days after the winter solstice, Marx was born in Zhumadian. As for why, it’s completely untenable. It’s all about faith and righteousness. You believe it and it’s done.
Do you know? When I wrote the copy before, I basically dealt with things as they came, and I would say it word by word. But for this high opinion, I was really in a state of brain shutdown, because I felt that any public explanation of any problem was a bit insulting to the intelligence of the audience. For this kind of thing, if you refute it seriously, it will make me look stupid, and it will make everyone look stupid.
He defeated me with his rich, imaginative imagination. This is one of the few times I have felt frustrated on the internet.

Did you have some deviation in your understanding of Marxism in China, so that you sinicized Marxism, but didn’t sinicize Marx? You will be held responsible for this in the future.
This Professor Du, before that, also published a book called “The Origin of Civilization and the World of Great Harmony”. I think this book is still very big, still has a lot of content, and is very valuable.
Let’s take a look at the table of contents: Chapter 1: White people also originate from China. Chapter 4: Greeks come from China, Chapter 5: Ancient Romans come from China, Chapter 6: Germans come from China, Chapter 7: Gauls come from China…
Professor Du also said before that the ancestors of the ancient Greeks, Palestinians, and Middle Eastern Palestinians originated from Huaxia, and also said that the ancestors of the Israelites were the royal family of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Then it can be known that the Israeli aggression against Pakistan is a Chinese civil war that occurred in the Middle East more than 2,000 years later.


Xiangtan Daily reprinted Professor Du’s high opinion 9 years ago, believing that the Aryans originated from ancient Hunan.

Damn it, the center of the universe is not in South Korea, the center of the universe is in Hunan.
He Xin, the leading figure of the pseudo-history theory, has to come out and cut ties, accusing Du Gangjian of being a bit too extreme, talking nonsense and ruining the pseudo-history theory. If he says that the British come from Xiangxi, China, this nonsense is not as eye-catching as saying that Adam and Eve are the illegitimate children of Wu Gang and Chang’e.

For these remarks, you can no longer look at them from a scientific point of view, but should look at them from a religious and psychological point of view. It has far exceeded the boundary of academic discussion and entered the realm of historical myth-making and political fantasy.
Just like some Koreans say that Confucius is Korean, why can this kind of statement still spread?
Because many people like to hear the words “our ancestors are omnipotent, we are the center of world civilization”. This kind of statement can arouse great national pride and stimulation. Our ancestors were rich, and even our ancestors are your ancestors, so I am also your ancestor.
Faced with the international narrative system dominated by the West, some people try to refute it with the story of “we are actually earlier, bigger, and stronger”. The starting point is good, but I suggest you don’t start.
You have this point of view, which is very good, and I also support it, but if you can’t find enough strong ideological, institutional, or civilization arguments to support national identity because of your own ability and intellectual problems, you will inevitably return to the fictitious past, by deifying history, elevating ancestors, and exaggerating cultural influence, to deduce the legitimacy and superiority of today.
To be honest, it’s a bit anxious and ugly. The sentence just now can be said more concisely, in the final analysis, these people are not confident and their level is poor, and they have no way to prove the legitimacy and superiority of contemporary China, so they can only resort to some roundabout means to comfort themselves.

I advise everyone to adhere to the revolutionary historical view. Modern China is built on the basis of the most profound revolution in 5,000 years. Our values and logic do not essentially depend on the Shang Yang Reform or the ancient Hunan Aryans, nor do they depend on the ancestral law and any so-called traditional sanctity. We do not need a so-called ancient authority to support the legitimacy of the present by reversing the three unifications.
I said before that people like Guo Jicheng and Du Gangjian can exist widely within Chinese universities because this kind of fostered intellectual elite class, their fundamental task is not really to inherit the left-wing narrative and Marxism, but to unify the three unifications and integrate the past, present, and future ideologies.
In fact, they support the bureaucratic and elite groups that hold a minority of society and control the direction of social progress. They are obviously not Marxists, nor are they leftists. They are just wearing the skin of leftists and doing the things of feudalists.
Finally, let’s go back to the beginning of this article. The title of this article is “Marx’s Ancestors Come from China – Commemorating the 207th Anniversary of Marx’s Birth – Speech at the Symposium on the Sinicization and Modernization of Marxism in Beijing.”
I really want to know, when Professor Du Gangjian made this speech on the stage with righteous indignation, what were the views of all the comrades who participated in the Marx birthday commemoration meeting? Do they have any understanding of facts and social sciences? Why didn’t they object when they heard such remarks on Marx’s birthday? Are they Marxists?
This is the more important question
