The Epoch Times: Mainland’s Main Street Interview about Live Streaming “Will You Join the Front Line?” Results in Surprising Shift in Public Opinion

[The Epoch Times, April 01, 2023](Comprehensive report by Epoch Times reporter Li Yun) Recently, multiple random interviews on the streets were released on several video sites in China. The interviewer’s answers attracted public attention, and after the video was uploaded to the website, the comment area was overturned.

Recently, Douyin and Kuaishou released an investigative video in which a female anchor from mainland China randomly interviewed young people passing by on the street and asked them, “Would you like to go to the front line to fight?”

Only a few interviewees said, “yes”. Most of the young people interviewed said “unwilling”.

Netizens in mainland China also commented on the video, expressing that they “don’t want to go to the battlefield.”

On March 7, on the Chinese video website Bilibili, a live broadcaster also released a random interview on the street, asking passers-by: “Are you willing to fight on the front line?”

It can be seen from the video that most of the young people who were questioned answered “willing to go” and “must go” to the camera. Few of the interviewees said something like “don’t want to”.(click video)

But the comment area below the video was overturned.

Many netizens left messages saying: “I don’t want to”, and ridiculed that such interviews are “meaningless”, and suggested “bring a lie detector for the next interview”.

Ry Carrot Beard: “Laughing, I remember watching a video, asking Russians if they would like to go to Wuqian?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha everyone has excuses to slip out and some people just cried!”

Timid and lecherous Liu Wenke: “How the country treats me in peacetime, I will repay the country in wartime. I am a Libra and pay attention to fairness!”

Cherish the peaceful beauty: “Should those in business departments and rich people go first, and those who eat bonuses first? I have to work overtime for 996.5, and I don’t have a whole day’s rest. Can I go to work for half a day? I don’t ask for leave.”

Hiding at home and eating watermelon: “Don’t squeeze it, I have three thousand a month, and my family is almost ruined by the mortgage, so I don’t want to bleed for her!”

Duanduanduan: “I don’t want to, my mortgage will be paid off in a hundred years, I can work harder!”

In February, an article in the mainland media discussed “If the motherland needs it, will you go to the front line?” The article claimed that if a war broke out, only about 10% of the people in Japan, Germany and other countries expressed “willingness”, while in China there were 94% were “willing to come forward”.

But on various social platforms in mainland China, netizens almost overwhelmingly answered “no”. Some people said: “Let the leader go first.” Some netizens also said: “Don’t think about me when eating meat, and don’t think about me when fighting!” gone.”
