In the ideology of the Chinese education system, the government is a kind of “big patriarchal” government, where the people are expected to follow a unified command and obey these sweeping rules, believing that the collective good comes before the individual good. But when accidents occur, the disaster is often attributed to all “private” woes.
Because of the “big patriarchal”, the individual doesn’t acctually get the chance to take responsibility for one’s own decision. But the power side always uses an “educational” tone, as if it were the people who caused the disaster by not being “self-responsible”, so that the structure can maintain its purity, once again invisible and free of responsibility.
