Zhang，Dexiang: Social conflicts will change the social form
张德祥（Zhang，Dexiang）
Social emergencies refer to accidental social conflicts that cause chain reactions in all classes, trigger long-standing social contradictions, gain sympathy and support from the grassroots people, form a massive social movement, spread out of control, paralyze the situation, and make people restless, causing great social consequences.
After the end of World War II and the establishment of the United Nations, the world entered the century of democracy and human rights, people＇s political consciousness awakened, and social emergencies were easily transformed into democratic transition movements.
For example: the Jasmine Revolution in the Middle East was a street fruit vendor in Tunisia who was treated unfairly by the police, which aroused public outrage and quickly spread to form protests across the country and the entire North African region, leading to the collapse of several dictatorships.
There are also examples of social emergencies turning into political movements in mainland China.
For example, the June 4th Movement in 1989 was caused by the people mourning the death of Hu Yaobang, the former general secretary of the Communist Party of China who advocated reform. It aroused dissatisfaction with the authoritarian authorities of the Communist Party of China and quickly spread to the whole country, almost overthrowing the Communist Party of China.
Such social emergencies may still occur in mainland China in the future, which may lead to the end of autocracy and the move towards democracy in Chinese society
