Text/Yue Guoqing
The winter night is very long; the heater quietly sends heat into the room, making it warm and comfortable. Make a cup of tea and put it on the bedside table while lying on the bed Thinking about life. Some writers write about squatting on the toilet and thinking about life. The author thinks that it is a fancy word. Think about it, squatting on the toilet and excreting; sometimes the excretion process is not complete, and the face is red from holding it in. After excreting, he takes a long breath, takes out the toilet paper and touches it quickly. Leave. In the smelly toilet, those who come there to think about life are just teasing.
Thinking about life means reviewing the past, summarizing the present, and seeking future development. Chang'e brought the moon rocks back to the earth, and the Beidou satellite network was established. Technology affects our lives all the time. It's just that we haven't yet sensed that a new era is coming. Human aging is divided into two parts; one is physical aging, and the other is thinking that cannot keep up with the times. New energy, biotechnology, etc…. If you cannot perceive the direction of development and wait for the real era to come, you will have lost the opportunity for development.
With the improvement of laws and regulations, the era of traditional thinking and opportunistic thinking has passed. Like an obsolete computer program. There is only one way left for us, to create and innovate. In an era without radio and television, the only way for people to acquire knowledge was through books. As society has developed to this day, no one watches TV, let alone studying. In other words, the people who watch TV are poor people. Because the programs you watch are free and you are given advertisements in TV programs, you have subtly become a potential consumer group.
Today let’s talk about the thinking of the poor. In ancient times, the way to obtain fame was through civil and military subjects. Today, martial arts has become the atomic bomb, and culture has evolved into economics, which has been subdivided into many subjects. The amount of wealth a person has is the beginning of a hierarchical system, and people also have classes. For example, a certain president does not need to bring any business cards when he goes out. The poorer a person is, the less willing he is to learn. You also want to squeeze into high-end social circles, handing your business card to everyone to attract investment; after you leave, people throw your business card into the trash can. The more you want to get into this circle, the more you will make a fool of yourself. Just like a French girl, if you think you can speak a few words in French, you are a French girl, and your temperament is there. If you don't have a good figure, would you dare to wear a three-point style?
The poorer you are, the more you like things that are beautifully packaged. Visiting the rich, carrying colorful supplements, "old turtle spirit", the rich simply reject these things. When you give things, they accept them with a smile. As soon as you leave, people put the things you gave them into the cabinet. Either it becomes moldy and thrown away, or, when the next poor person comes, it is transferred to Shunshui. Anyway, I don't know how to eat it. Looking at the golden packaging, I can see what's inside. If you want to eat a live old turtle, buy one and kill it, or go to a big hotel to get one alive and stew it. If rich people cherish their bodies, they can't eat indiscriminately. So what's the deal with turtles? Poor people also want to buy live turtles, but turtles are expensive! Think about the turtle essence, the essence of the turtle... What's more, the instruction manual says that it contains valuable Chinese medicine. A little supplement every day is evenly nutritious and cheap, and it won't cause internal heat. Where to find such good things, such high-quality and cheap things are customized for the poor. The poor measure something by whether it is cheap and high-quality, whether it is exquisitely packaged, wear chemical fiber fabrics, hang printed oil paintings in the house, eat food from processing factories, and watch free TV. Going to the Grand Theater in Shanghai costs 3,000 yuan, which is like stewing a live turtle. It would be a waste to finish the entire meal. The problem of food and clothing has been solved. Now it is a question of quality. Not to mention that eating turtle essence will make you eat and sleep well. I walk with energy and speak more fluently.
Poor people watch TV. TV is the treasure of the poor. Without TV, it is like the world has no color. If you don't go to Shanghai's Grand Theater to watch a performance when the lanterns first come on, whether it's the Yue opera "A Dream of Red Mansions" or the opera "La Traviata", you can't say that you understand Shanghai. From this point of view, even if you have lived in Shanghai for decades, you actually don’t understand Shanghai. If you don’t understand the price of a ticket of several hundred yuan, then you don’t understand it! Anyway, you have a Shanghai registered residence, and no one can say that you are not (ah la).
In cities like Shanghai, the majority are still poor. In the era of industrial technology, only mass-copied products are cheap. For the poor, cheapness is the prerequisite for all consumption. An opera or any artistic performance is a one-time use. , only the audience at the scene can enjoy it. It is very expensive. A well-known director directed an opera in Beijing, and the ticket price reached 3,000 yuan. Not to mention the poor who cannot afford the tickets, even if you can afford it, you can't get in. People require Even if you are dressed in a suit and tie, even if you are fully prepared, it may not be comfortable to sit there. You will not understand because the singing is not in Chinese. Poor people still think it's good to watch TV. TV is very cheap. With just one TV set, you can watch it as much as you want. The poor even mistakenly think that they are taking advantage of others by watching TV for free, but this is not the case! In this era of consumption, don’t think that you are taking advantage. You will pay for your eyeballs. The price of watching free TV is to receive free advertising. After seeing an advertisement, you might pay money for a certain merchant. In this sense, TV is not cheap. TV is for the poor and meets the tastes of the poor. For example, poor people like to watch anti-corruption dramas that make rich people look bad. Seeing the rich man being brought to justice, he let out a sigh of relief. There are also martial arts dramas that are becoming more and more popular. You can be intoxicated in daydreams even though you are unarmed, imagining yourself as a hero who can fly over walls and climb walls, and aim at the bully in your heart to grab a piece of flesh and poke five holes in it. The wives of poor people like to watch romantic dramas most. Once they enter the role, the romance that has been withered by life can grow in tears. The poor are like shrimps, even half smaller than shrimps. It is harder for the poor to become famous than it is for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. In the era of commodities, the opportunity to appear on TV is not given to the poor. As long as you are willing, you can make witty remarks in speed dating programs, show off your talents in entertainment programs, and if you perform well, you can get a lot of prizes. Family, don't be embarrassed. You became a free actor, provided a program for the TV station, let the people in front of the TV have fun, and gave you some prizes. It's a win-win situation. Poor people like to visit relatives, and rich people like to make friends. The bond between relatives is blood connection, and the connection between friends depends on similar smells. There are many kinds of interests. Generally speaking, it is a mixture of interests and interests. People who can become friends are coordinated in both aspects. Relatives test differently, whether you like it or not it is something you are born with. Relatives are also divided into rich and poor. It is an honor in itself for poor relatives to visit rich relatives. Don't think that there is no one in our family and drive away with an old hen. In fact, rich relatives are quite happy; think that An old hen must be a green food. He shook hands cordially, and after a while of greetings, he told me: If you have any difficulties, just ask me. Then his cell phone rang. He had to go socialize, his expression was helpless. The poor relative felt that he was disturbing others, so he willingly went to the kitchen, selected vegetables, washed the dishes, and sorted out the native chicken he had brought. As a result, the difficulties of the poor relatives were never brought up, but the old hen solved them first. The world is far away, and even if his rich relatives want to help him, they can't help him for a while. You have to live your own life alone, and poor relatives don't have extravagant expectations for fear of being looked down upon by others. The rich relatives don't have to pay anything, they just need to pick up some things that they can't finish and don't want to use anymore.
If it is the end of the year, take the wall calendar issued by your previous work unit to visit relatives. The calendar will usually be hung in the most conspicuous place in the poor relative's home. Poor relatives kept introducing it to people. This was a gift from relatives, and they came to see us. A dorky neighbor said: Yes! yes! It’s not easy, he has so many things to deal with every day! Who is that Li Wanji? Why are all the big shots interested in him? I finally found out that there is a beautiful woman in China whose surname is Li and her given name is Wanji. The poor relative said, "How about being serious? It would be a great honor for them to come." The subsequent killing of chickens and sheep cost the poor money, but once they had gained face and mood, money was nothing. He doesn't want to be as utilitarian as in Zhong. He just wants to distance himself from his rich relatives and raise his own class.
From the bottom of his heart, he is still willing to go to his poorer relatives, so that he can enjoy the treatment of killing chickens and sheep without mentioning old hens or local specialties. Hearing anecdotes, chatting and laughing, it is inevitable that the conflicts between the east and the west will inevitably come to light, and some internal conflicts among the people will be exposed. He will be sincere and sincere to the parties involved, and internal unity is very important! These things have been made clear in front of me today, and they will no longer exist in the future. Come, come and cheers! He acted like the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and the situation was really calmed down. Go to your poorer relatives; you are also a person, and your life is still very meaningful.
