都是希特勒惹的祸
 
  当远在不来梅的墨小虫在KULT商店里发现了FUCK You China 这件体恤的时候,我刚刚从外地出差回到编辑部,犹如一只迟钝的长颈鹿,还没有反应过来这FUCK带来的冲击波。当时,唯一担心的是,这个别事件不要走上炒作的道路,而引起国内当下点火即燃的民族主义怒火。

第2天一早,在刷牙的时候,我突然打算把普兰公司告上德国法庭。且不论FUCK背后是因中国大批侵权仿制纺织品对欧洲本土工业造成的打击而引起的愤怒,但是以一个国家作为隐喻侮辱的对象,直指一个国家背后的人民,实在是太放肆了,更令我气愤的是那个丑化中国人的小丑形象。

在德国生活的外国人,无法避免甚至常常面对的是德国那段黑暗历史。对于我个人来说,这件体恤很容易联想到30年代纳粹丑化犹太人,把犹太人画成鹰钩鼻,奸诈丑陋的形象,指责犹太人贪婪,放高利贷欺诈民众。见图



虽然普兰公司的行径不是一个群体现象,但是在一个法制民主的国度里,必须发出自己的声音。息事宁人等于纵容,虽然普兰公司口口声声称体恤只生产了100件,以表影响力不大,但是其背后的恶意和无形对德国民众的影响依然是不可坐视的。

德国人对这个事情什么反应呢?

确实令我惊讶甚至恼怒了。昨天回家的路上,我对德国好友说起了这件事情,没想到他的第一反应是说这种做法的背后是有原因的,中国仿制纺织品倾销欧洲,给欧洲经济带来亿万损失,按德语说法, Es ist begruendet. (这是有原因的)

我反驳说,原因我们可以另外讨论,但是做法是绝对恶劣的。于是,我们的讨论升级成干仗,谁也不听谁的,导致我终于出口伤人地说:你的这种漠不关心的态度令我想起30年代。屠杀犹太人难道也是有原因的吗?

今天,另一位同事讨论时说起她德国先生的反应,那也是一个冷门。这位大学教授在听完叙述后,鄙夷地说,这种愚蠢的做法(指普兰行径)你们管它作甚?

难道德国人的思维真和我们不一样吗?当然对面这个事件的时候有一个关键词:Betroffenheit.

正如我们看见波兰人画出德国总理默克尔裸露胸膛给波兰元首兄弟俩喂奶一笑了之,上述2位德国人不是直接被伤害被侮辱的。

今天的德国,谁敢明目张胆地宣称FUCK犹太人〔除了新纳粹之外〕? 而作为外国人的我,又理所当然地期待德国人因历史而该作出的自动认罪态度,至少表示愤慨。

普兰事件因为发生在德国,又引发了另外的思考。

PS:中国大使馆已经表态了,那我就不出面了。

7 我要发言

  不过也有人认为,这是民间的事吧,大使馆有必要出面吗?是因为中国人太不自信吗?http://www.bullog.cn/blogs/buchimifan/archives/82034.aspx这是牛博网平客的博客。。

Dear Madam,
Dear Sir,

Herewith we would like to give the following statement and hope that we can clarify the misunderstanding that has occurred:

Last season the company produced a limited number of T-shirts with the print
“F-u-c-k-u china”.
We would like to point out that these T-shirts are not produced nor sold any longer since last season. Our business partner “Kult” will also retire all the products with this print.
The limited line of T-shirts was always only produced on a maximum capacity of 100 pieces.

The company PHILIPP PLEIN wanted to provoke and to initiate a thought-provoking impulse.
Even if the company PHILIPP PLEIN partly produces in China and has strong and good relations with its Chinese partners, the brand suffers severe and growing piracy issues coming from China…

The company PHILIPP PLEIN is a small yet innovative company that since its early days fights against plagiarisms (in general) manufactured in low-wages countries.
It can be incredible frustrating and difficult for a SME (small to medium enterprise) such as ours to survive and resist such criminal powers from product piracy.

The at first sight provocative and ambiguous print, was supposed to make the clients think and reflect what the hidden message was (Never we had intend to hurt, mistreat, or dishonour the Chinese folk nor its citizens. In addition, by no means we planned any kind of political, racist nor discriminating statement.) :

- Firstly, more and more products are suffering from piracy, increasingly originated in China, leading that both the designer and the supplier suffer from financial losses, having as an end consequence job cuts (also the company PHILIPP PLEIN is a victim from piracy products).

- Secondly, on the other hand, the collaboration with Chinese suppliers and companies enables to create and develop products that would not be realisable under other circumstances. Nowadays, one cannot anymore put aside China in business relationships.


If you look carefully at the print, one can see that the combination of the single letters “F-U-C-K” is not used and written as such but in an abbreviated form. There is a hidden message in this abbreviation:

“the Fascinating & Urban Collection: Kiss you China”.



This very provocative and suggestive print was definitely a way to point out that one hand we cannot renounce to work with China, but on the other hand, more and more companies suffer from piracy or low-price article leading to a very hard price war and an aggressive competitiveness.

Together with our partner, the company Kult, we deeply regret that all these misunderstandings have occurred with this limited collection of T-shirts and abbreviation.
We sincerely never wanted to hurt individuals, and for sure not the citizens of the Republic of China.
We explicitly would like to take the chance to officially apologies and to excuse ourselves for the insensitive and non tactful way we did it. Please note once again, that this was a limited action and that we are in very good term with our entire Chinese Business partner.

Please be so kind to accept our explanation and remember that we did not intend to print any political, racist nor discriminating statement.

We stand entirely at your disposition for any further request.
This official apology-statement will be forwarded to the Chinese embassy in Germany and in Switzerland. In addition, the company PHILIPP PLEIN will also publish a statement on its website under the link : www.philipp-plein.com/china .



In advance we thank you for your comprehension.



PPI AG

AND BY THE WAY WE LOVE CHINA!!!

  还是那位大学教授的说法对,这种愚蠢的做法,你们管它作甚?所以,为了避免对这样没有技术含量的谩骂行为的炒作,你们也不要再假装义正词严的驳斥了,否则正中这些小丑的下怀。另外,你们是不是来了新的写手了,有些文章看起来酸溜溜的卖弄。

  也问起过德国人,他说太过分了。后来的所谓“kiss China"的辩解,他认为不足信,应该是有意为之。

  将不满化为看得见的仇恨是可怕的,还要美化包装为商品,更是可耻。
