The primary meaning of Post Truth is the state when the truth was revealed.However,exact meaning of it should be considered as the truth is behind incident,which represents the truth is become less important.Throughout the history of human civilization,whether it is political,institutional or ideological,people often ensure that the fact is the final inspection standard.But now,the Black Swan Event(accident)is in the high frequency,which makes the fact seem to lose the power to the dominate social consensus,and the emotional state point begins to prevent people to search for the truth.But is the truth really unimportant?What do people really care about in this era?How to interpret the "truth" in the Post-Truth Era?Due to the issue of the Post Truth is so big,so we are unable to make the macroscopic analysis on it.But the process of production content by user is to build a platform to search for the truth.The emergence of the UGC makes public as producers and make them appeared with the provider of feedback in the same field.It is the focus of this paper to study the content of their producer and feeder and to explore the attitude towards the truth of the event.It is not so much the production of information as the production of public opinion,which is comparable with the basic features of the present age.Therefore,it can have a huge amount of customer information,and also explain the public's concerns about the event.In this paper,the presentation of event connected with old people from Pear Video blogger is chosen as the research object.Meanwhile,we dige the potential words behind the video production,and Explore the core of concern for video producers and feeders through its microblogging platform caused by public opinion.As the public who is communicator,the presentation of the controversial old events can reflect their choice between emotion and truth.However,this kind of choice affects certain public feedback,and the feedback effect is further applied to the production of users,which further deeply complicates the truth.Based on this analysis,the main contents of the paper are divided into three parts:The analysis of the event presentation of the content production is shown in first part.The whole presentation of events which is connected with the old people in Pear Video is analyzed.Meanwhile,the study shows what kind of events,including overall analysis of object,subject and tendency in event of video.The presentation way of events in video is studied in second part.Further analysis is made by us on the video of presenting events from the perspective of narrate.We found that there was a distortion in the photographer's presentation of the events connected with the old people.The reason is that the selected narrators are not responsible for the narrative content of events directly,and the difference of narrative focalization also highlights the imbalance of the discourse power.The distance and angle of video reflect the certain positions and emotions of them.Therefore,the process of producing events is also a process of emotional production.The public opinion feedback caused by production is studied in the third part,which is to lucubrate the feedback.It is found that there is a relationship between back of the passionate public sentiment and user generates content.Public continues to pursue the truth of events between the condition of declaration and searching of the truth.But they believe in the truth based on their own emotion.And they are used to mix the feelings in the feedback,which is directly to affect the production again and make the truth covered by the personal emotion.Based on the above researches,the author find that the general public is still to pay attention to the truth,but the focus is under the judgment of the truth based on their own feelings,not based on the judgment on the facts of an event.
