宋冬野喊冤，为什么不能容忍他的演唱会？丨No, drug-taking singer, you have no chance
10月11日，曾在2016年因吸毒被抓的歌手宋冬野，在微博上发布长文表示，自己的演唱会因为被多人举报而取消，对此感到非常不理解。
宋冬野说，因为演唱会被强行取消，导致很多工作人员的努力化为泡影。而关于吸毒这件“往事”，宋冬野则表示，“哪有什么无需就无供，在毒品这件事上‘供’一直单方面创造着‘需’！杀人的一直都是贩毒者，不是我！”
随后，在回复网友评论时，宋冬野不止一次谩骂网友。目前，宋冬野的微博已被禁言。
On Monday evening, Song Dongye, a singer who had been detained by the police for taking drugs in 2016 and lost his influence since then, complained via his Sina Weibo account that he tried to hold another commercial performance but was stopped because someone reported it to the authorities.

"I took drugs, but I've already been punished for that and I quit drugs," Song wrote. "Why will you not forgive me?"
Here's the answer: Doing drugs is a serious illegal act in China, and those who commit this face legal penalties such as detainment and fines.
It should be stressed that when a person takes drugs, he or she is not only paying for a few grams of white powder, but also supporting an entire illicit industry behind it. Illegal drug dealers might spend the money they collect to expand their reach and cheat the system even more.
Hence China strictly forbids drugs, and every year over 300 policemen sacrifice themselves to fight against this scourge.

As a former pop singer, Song had huge numbers of followers, so his drug-related activities might encourage others to do the same, leading to even heavier losses for society.
That’s why in domestic public sectors as well as TV or films, anyone taking drugs should get out and never come back. Song is no exception.
Of course, that does not mean anyone should discriminate against Song or his fellow musicians. He took drugs and got punished for it. But now, as a law-abiding citizen, he could study in a college or find a job that doesn't require a noncriminal record, so his legal rights and interests are protected. He can still live and work as a normal person, but his public influence must be gone forever.

In his complaint, Song also cited "high pressure" as an excuse for taking drugs, which seems rather flimsy. Everybody has a lot of work to do and everyone might face great stress in life. But the vast majority of the people can somehow avoid dancing with the demon by taking drugs, so Song’s failure is his own fault.
It's time for him to do something positive, instead of continuing to complain.
