I didn't expect so many people to hate Zhang Xuefeng, and to celebrate his death. I also didn't expect him to have so many followers who say he deserves to be enshrined in the Temple of Confucius. He was indeed highly controversial.

What Zhang Xuefeng did was nothing more than make information that was previously controlled by a very small group of people public on the internet, and package it into freely tradeable commercial services. This is business—it can't be said to cause any social harm.

However, we cannot glorify him with the identity of a "selflessly dedicated teacher."
