Meihu's modern drama "Liang Qiuyan" has inspired and educated generations. Thousands of years of feudal arranged marriage was finally abolished.

However, in recent years, instead of being eradicated, this feudal habit has been revived.

In our local area, if a young man from a rural area wants to marry a wife, he needs to pay at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan in bride price (in some remote areas, it has exceeded 70,000 yuan).

These do not include the expenses of the man's own family (which does not include the expenses of the man's own house decoration and the purchase of household appliances), as well as the expenses of holding the wedding.

Some of the woman's family members, in order to be pompous and decent, were instigated by vanity and comparison, and disregarded the actual situation of the man's family, and asked the man to hire dozens of cars and hold a lavish wedding to satisfy his vanity.

After a wedding, the total cost is as high as more than 100,000 yuan. Not only did the families of both sides not afford it, but they were burdened with hundreds of thousands of yuan in debt.

And Dan also affected the relatives of both sides with disasters, and it was a restless situation. In addition to sending 50 to 1,000 yuan of congratulatory gifts to their respective hosts' families (some of them have already exceeded 5,000 yuan).

And you have to give five to one hundred yuan to the helpers invited by the hosts of both sides before the wedding banquet

"Hardship fee". A wedding down, only

The "hardship fee" alone is more than 1,000 yuan. And it's still growing. these

Except for a part of the "hard-earned money" that was divided among the villagers, the rest fell into the pockets of the stewards.

According to some villagers, he only paid more than 20,000 yuan a year for gifts. No wonder some villagers lamented helplessly: their hard-earned income for a year is not enough to pay for their share of money.

Not only that, but the matchmaker, who was once on the verge of extinction, was brought in again. In our local area, after a family affair is settled, the man has to pay the bride price to the woman and hold a solemn wedding, and also pay 500 to 1,000 yuan to the matchmaker (usually two to three) each

"Runaway expenses" (except for free lovers). That's not even counting the usual cigarettes and alcohol.

Some unemployed people see that it is profitable, so they simply become professional matchmakers to collect money.

It is reported that some matchmakers have collected tens of thousands of yuan a year, and it is still rising.

Etiquette and filial piety are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, and diligence and thrift are the excellent traditions of the Chinese nation.

In order to carry forward the fine traditions of the Chinese nation, the CPC Central Committee has repeatedly stressed the need to practice strict economy and oppose extravagance and waste in entertaining guests and giving gifts.

However, this wind has been repeatedly banned, but has continued to grow. The civil disputes and even bloodshed caused by this are innumerable, and it has become a major cancer that endangers social peace.

If it is not stopped and eradicated, it will certainly become a major public nuisance endangering national security. I sincerely hope that the whole society will take action together to resist this bad habit.

Promote the overall improvement of the social atmosphere.
