CNBC AI News, July 1st – A recent social media post has ignited a debate surrounding the widely used Xinhua Dictionary, with the author questioning if the esteemed publication exhibits an “open hostility towards children” and raising concerns about the state of liberal arts education.
The controversy centers on an example sentence provided for the word “累赘” (lěizhui), which translates to “burden” or “encumbrance.” According to an image shared by the blogger, the dictionary’s example reads: “孩子小，成了累赘” (The child is young and has become a burden).
Veteran media personality Hu Xijin weighed in on the matter,转发ing the Weibo post with his commentary. He stated, “Xin hua Dictionary’s example for the word ‘累’ (lěi) is indeed prone to controversy. It’s inappropriate, and I suggest they change it in the next edition.”
However, Hu also cautioned against the tendency to jump to extreme conclusions. He disagreed with the blogger’s assertion of “open hostility towards children” and the sweeping question about the state of liberal arts education, suggesting that such hyperbole is unhelpful and should not be encouraged.
“Let’s not push our social atmosphere in such a harsh direction,” he urged.
