This session of netizens is too boring!

This year's Halloween in Shanghai has really become popular, with crazy screen searches and a wave of "exotic imitation shows".

People no longer dress up as identical ghosts and zombies like before, but instead have their minds wide open and imitate various characters who are "even more terrifying than ghosts". Not only are they creative, but they also integrate into internet memes, directly celebrating Halloween as "Halloween".

Although Tang Tang was not able to personally visit Shanghai, he could already feel the "madness" of the people of Mordo through the screen.

The most impressive thing for Tang Tang Tang during this Halloween in Shanghai was the handsome young man who was smoothed out by the first party:

Visible black circles under the eyes, a computer bag essential for social animal overtime, a checkered shirt for programmers, and a bottle of beverage in hand.

And there are two prominent characters on his body - 'Party B', good guy! Isn't this a true portrayal of the working people! It really resonates!

Tang Tang would like to call this type of imitation "magical realism" because it is really close to everyone's mental state in real life.

Outstanding representatives of the "Realistic Theme School" include:

(Holding the "53" college entrance examination student)

(Graduates who cannot find jobs)

In addition, there is also the risk of receiving a lawyer's letter and participating in the "Idol Imitation School" on Halloween.

The most "showy" among them is the imitation of Teacher Na Ying's "This Ying", especially her "accent" that looks like Na Ying. Speaking of classic sayings, it makes people feel like they are personally present.

We can only say that it's not that 'Naying' can't afford it, but that 'Jiying' is more cost-effective.

Even celebrities are spoiled by everyone, and internet celebrities are bound to be unable to escape.

At the moment when "Meibi Xia" appeared, netizens couldn't hold their breath anymore and covered their mouths and laughed wildly.

There is also a "subversive plot school" that adapts classic characters from major film and television dramas, allowing everyone to "poke their own eyes".

An Lingrong came here prepared, both as a ship and a maid, with a lot of pomp.

This An Lingrong also crossed time and space with the passing "Four Elders", but it seems that this An Lingrong is played by a boy.

Long time to see, "Tang Monk" and "Guanyin" actually sat together to eat.

It has to be said that netizens are so talented, they are really ashamed of themselves!

On the surface, this year's Shanghai Halloween is a long suppressed "carnival" for young people, but in reality, it has a deeper meaning.

It is no exaggeration to say that this year's Shanghai Halloween will be "recorded in history" because it has created an "unprecedented" cultural comeback.

Every year during the International Festival, there are many opposing voices on the internet:

Worship foreign countries and favor foreign countries! What are some good holidays for foreigners

Cultural invasion is really serious. Nowadays, young people only know about foreign festivals and even forget their traditional festivals

In the eyes of some people, celebrating foreign festivals is a phenomenon of cultural invasion and worship of foreign countries.

But this year's Shanghai Halloween is different from before, it is more like a counterattack against cultural invasion.

Whether imitating "social animals", "celebrities", "internet celebrities", or "film and television characters", they completely break away from the original holiday style of Western Halloween and form a unique style based on Chinese culture.

This year's Shanghai Halloween has also been successfully exported to foreign countries due to its unique charm, and even foreign media were surprised by such a unique scene.

Mainstream media such as The New York Times, Reuters, The Guardian, and The Wall Street Journal have all reported on Halloween in Shanghai.

In fact, in recent years, there has been a heated debate about whether the "Cross Ocean Festival" is a cultural invasion. Some people say it is a cultural invasion, while others say it is a cultural exchange.

From a literal perspective, as a foreign culture that has entered the local area, the foreign festival is considered an "invasion" and there is no exception.

Some Western countries have transplanted Western values and lifestyles into China through festivals with strong religious connotations such as Halloween and Christmas. With the popularity of young people and the marketing of businesses, the influence of foreign festivals has become increasingly significant, causing a huge impact on China's traditional culture.

In addition to foreign festivals, film and television works from abroad are also a disaster zone for cultural invasion.

In many American blockbusters, especially war films, the United States loves to establish itself as the righteous teacher of maintaining world peace. However, in reality, the United States has always played a role in disrupting world peace. How can this not be considered a subtle cultural invasion of us?

Similarly, there is Japan's "otaku culture", which gradually makes some teenagers who lack cognition become passive and lazy.

With the widespread popularity of some foreign cultures in China, traditional Chinese culture has gradually been forgotten by many people.

There is even news online that "Hanfu is mistaken for kimono", some people even don't know the traditional clothing of their own country!

All kinds of signs make us have to start worrying, will the invasion of foreign cultures become more rampant in the future?

What can we do about such concerns?

Firstly, we need to eliminate our lack of confidence in culture.Only when everyone feels proud and identifies with local culture can they have the confidence and strength to resist cultural invasion.

Secondly, strengthen cultural education and publicity to protect cultural heritage.We should enhance our understanding and awareness of local culture, and strengthen the protection and inheritance of local culture through methods such as repairing historical sites, establishing protected areas, and organizing cultural activities.

Finally, do not blindly resist foreign cultures.Just like this Halloween, for the vast majority of Chinese people, it has nothing to do with religion. Everyone just takes the opportunity of Halloween to relax and join a "carnival", so we have no need to resist it at all.

In fact, we don't have to go to foreign festivals because we are afraid of cultural invasion. What we really need to do is to increase our confidence in local culture and attach importance to the protection and inheritance of local culture.
