Annotation
It is tried to consider aspects of online Chinese bottom-up speech as revolutionary speech recontextualization. Two text aspects are focused upon: the emotional appeal and the inclusion/lockout strategy founded on class discord, as well as how similar rhetoric is defied and trivialized in novel social contexts. Answers to an online open letter on the prominent Yao Jiaxin homocide case, make up the inquiry data.
