As the Chinese people's subtle expressions (advanced black,暗语, meme culture) become more and more prevalent(Dongda, Bajia Yi, , Mi / Mantou), videos appear entertaining on the surface, but underneath are all "those who understand, understand." Under China's thousands of years of textual censorship culture, with the reinforcement of AI, the peak of literary persecution is approaching. Historically, "literary persecution" has never been just a simple crackdown, but a stress response when the legitimacy of the regime reaches its peak anxiety. When direct expression is blocked, people are forced to use subtle ways to "speak in riddles," and authorities must weave a denser, more sensitive censorship net. Even puns, idioms, animals, and AI modifications that seem harmless are regarded as threats. It's like an arms race: the public upgrades to "encrypted language," while the authorities upgrade to "decryption + arrest." The result is a skyrocketing censorship cost, but it also makes the entire social atmosphere colder and more absurd. Historically, the more powerful the tricks, the higher the stakes; no one can defeat anyone. Subtlety will only increase, and crackdowns will intensify. The outcome is a double loss: society becomes colder and more absurd, and expressive space is compressed to the extreme. Ultimately, there are two possible directions: one is the arrival of a critical point, ending literary persecution; the other is that with increased subtlety, more people lose their learning ability, leading to a gradual "boiling frog" scenario, where the vast majority become numb, and social development stalls.
