这篇报道通过描绘中国言论限制下的荒谬情景，以一则炒鸡蛋炒饭食谱为例，深刻反映了言论自由的受限局面。报道生动展现了在宽泛的法规框架下，连美食领域也不得不小心翼翼，以免触及政治敏感话题。这种荒唐局面凸显了中国社会对于信息管控的严苛，令人不禁反思言论自由在建设开放社会中的不可或缺性。饭菜与言论的奇异共舞，引人深思，唤起人们对于自由言论权利的珍视和呼吁。在这种环境下，社会思想多样性和创新受到挑战，催人思考如何在维护秩序的同时确保公民的表达权利。
The United States is entangled in an emotional debate about antisemitism and free speech on college campuses. The latest speech debate in China is about a chef’s video on how to make egg fried rice.
Egg fried rice is a staple of Chinese home cooking and one of the first dishes many Chinese learn to cook. Think of mac and cheese in America. That was probably why Wang Gang, one of China’s most popular food bloggers, has made multiple recipe videos about the dish in the past five years. His “perfect” fried rice recipes attracted reviews, and reviews of those reviews.

His offense? He posted an egg fried rice video on Nov. 27, two days after the anniversary of the death of Mao Anying, son of the founder of the People’s Republic of China, Mao Zedong. Mao Anying was killed in the Korean War while, legend has it, cooking egg fried rice.
