[The Epoch Times, November 13, 2023](Epoch Times reporters Ning Haizhong and Luo Ya interviewed and reported) After the animated films “Little Pink’s Life” and “Cyber Rebels 2077” created by a Chinese painter living in the United States were released overseas , which resonated with netizens in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
“Cyber Rebels 2077” depicts the “globalization” of the Chinese Communist Party’s dictatorship and the “anti-extradition” movement in Hong Kong
On the evening of November 10, the self-media channel “MrMarmot” uploaded an animated film modeled after Taiwan’s popular film “Monkey”, called “Cyber Rebels 2077”.
The story background of the film assumes that in the near future, after the Chinese Communist Party rules the world, people around the world will live in an unfree social life unique to the Chinese Communist Party, such as literary inquisition, social credit scores, and surveillance by a large number of monitors. The name of this new work comes from the role-playing game “Cyberpunk 2077”.
The film describes how people who were unwilling to accept this system rebelled and were suppressed by the government. Some of the images are taken from historical photos of the Hong Kong Anti-Extradition Movement in 2019, with the caption: “To our friends in Hong Kong, stand with Hongkong!”
Some netizens left a message saying:
“I am a Hong Konger, and I really cried when I saw it. I can never let go of the memories and pain of those years. Such injustice continues to this day.”
“Thank you for supporting the people of Hong Kong. Four years have passed and you are still in my heart. In addition to being grateful, I am still grateful. Thank you.”
“Looking at it, tears flowed down silently… I sincerely hope that Taiwan will not become such a country.”
“As a mainlander, my eyes filled with tears when I watched this. I feel sorry for the people of Hong Kong. I hope that the people of Taiwan will hold on to the last piece of pure land.”
“A must-see masterpiece in 2023! It’s so relevant that I almost cried.”
“I just hope that the people can overthrow the tyranny before it has such great power.”
The video received 387,000 views and 25,000 likes in two days after it was released online. “Mr Marmot, a groundhog” said in the video information column that “the film is self-reliant and the script is more magical.”
Dr. Lin Song, a senior Australian media person and Hong Kong immigrant, told The Epoch Times on the 13th that friends in Hong Kong have forwarded this video to him. “I am also very moved, very moved.”
Lin Song said that this video is not just about mainland China and Hong Kong under the rule of the CCP, but the whole world is facing the infiltration and suppression of the CCP.
“The whole world is facing the same situation. What this cartoon says is that in 2077, the United States is no longer a democratic and free society. People in the United States are monitored by the (CCP) dictatorship, and everyone has to wear a mask. That mask is a smiling face.”
He believes that because this film contains scenes of Hong Kong people being beaten by the police during the anti-extradition movement in 2019, Hong Kong people will have deep feelings after watching it. “The spirit of Hong Kong people is to fight for democracy and freedom. In the face of the authoritarian regime, we all stand up bravely.”
Ms. Wu, a Hong Kong white-collar worker, said that this video is very similar to the current situation in Hong Kong. “Hong Kong is now filled with a reporting culture. As a result, students and teachers in Hong Kong schools are afraid to speak out. Parents are afraid to tell their children these things, for fear that they will go outside and be reported.”
Li Yuanhua, a historian living in Australia, told The Epoch Times on November 13 that this video mainly alludes to the current situation in mainland China. In fact, many people in the mainland are waiting for the opportunity to accumulate the power to overthrow the CCP. “The White Paper Movement actually directly led to the end of the CCP’s three-year blockade system. It can be seen that under high pressure and the CCP’s brainwashing environment, more and more people are awakening.”
According to the “MrMarmot” channel introduction, the producer is a Chinese painter who was born and raised in Shanghai. He now lives in Los Angeles, USA, and is a full-time game artist. The videos he released in the past mentioned that when he lived in China, his social account was banned many times because he often criticized the government.
“The Life of a Mountain Monkey” is a long-form web series published by Taiwanese creator Eric Duan between July and August 2023. The plot tells the story of a young man who works in a supermarket and loses himself in relationships due to his inflated vanity. , and finally died in an accident while racing on a mountain road.
Another video “The Life of Little Pink” is going viral. Scholars analyze two kinds of little pink at home and abroad.
On October 28, “A Marmot MrMarmot” uploaded a 12-minute animated video “Little Pink’s Life” produced in the style of “The Life of a Mountain Monkey”.
The film depicts the current situation of young people under the rule of the Chinese Communist Party through a large number of dialogue designs. It humorously and satirically tells the story of Chinese young people who have been “brainwashed” in ignorance and have blind double standards and illogical and out-of-control words and deeds.
The video received more than 1.23 million views and more than 10,000 comments in about 2 weeks, and was widely circulated on overseas social platforms.
Chinese netizens expressed their sympathy:
“As a Chinese, I can only say that this video is too realistic… The colleagues around me are complaining about how the company is squeezing me, while I am envious of working abroad, and at the same time, I am scolding foreign forces.”
“After watching this video, I seem to be able to imagine what the daily life of those patriotic pinks broadcast by Shang Jiong is like. I feel a little emotional and understandable, but I can’t sympathize… I don’t hate Chinese people, but I really hate patriotic pinks. However, it is these patriotic little pinks who are most often thought of as Chinese abroad. Maybe reasonable Chinese people are also in pain and embarrassment.”
“Oh my god, they are exactly the same as my colleagues from the company’s factory in China. They love the party and the country all the time, and talk about the United States, Taiwan, and Japan. However, after deducting the five social insurances and one housing fund from their monthly salary, I am left with more than 3,000 pieces of scrap paper. It’s very touching.”
“It’s so real. The life of a leek man with party spirit and no humanity.”
When talking about “The Life of Little Pink”, Lin Song said that the Chinese people have indeed been horribly changed by the CCP. Some of them are on the mainland and some are overseas.
“In the past two days, Xi Jinping’s visit to the United States has been mentioned. I forwarded some information to my relatives in mainland China. Those relatives are little pinks. They have been scolding the United States, saying that the United States is determined to defeat me and overthrow the American imperialism. I said that now the Central Committee order to improve relations between China and the United States. My relatives asked whether it was Apple Daily and whether it was from Falun Gong (media), but I didn’t read it. I said what I sent you was from Beijing CCTV. Now the CCP and The United States wants friendly cooperation, so stop scolding the United States and see for yourself.”
Lin Song said that the other group of little pinks are people who left mainland China but were still automatically brainwashed. “I have some relatives in Australia who have left mainland China for more than 20 years, but they only read WeChat and don’t read other media. They are still frogs in the well.” “How can Xi Jinping explain to the people who have been brainwashed by you now? Because they have been brainwashed. People are saying they want to be anti-American, so it’s very funny.”
