Recently, the Wuhan University false accusation incident has gone viral online, sparking a wave of social discussions and derivative works. This paper argues that the incident and its subsequent developments are not merely a public opinion crisis, but rather a concentrated manifestation of the inherent contradictions and dilemmas within the evolution of the information society. Drawing upon Lacanian-Žižekian psychoanalysis, Foucaultian and Byung-Chul Han’s theories of power, and Baudrillard’s critique of simulacra, this paper offers an in-depth analysis of the Wuhan University incident and the underlying mechanisms of the information society. It further proposes preliminary solutions to address the existential crisis stemming from the nihilistic state of the information age.
