Chapter 457: Walking the Streets
Jia Youwei and Jian Jian left the Qing bar. She offered to ask the other party to accompany her for a walk. As for the car, it doesn't hurt to pick it up tomorrow. I'm tired of walking, so I'll take a taxi home.
The lights are brilliant, and the traffic is full of prosperity. The nightlife of the rich and idle has just begun, and the poor and idle have already gone to bed early.
Concisely stretched out his arms, stretched out a big waist and said, "It's so comfortable, it's not good to sit for a long time." The capital is heavy with haze, sandstorms, and bad air. It is long overdue for the country to vigorously promote environmental protection. ”
"Environmental protection is a double-edged sword. Upper-middle-class people naturally like green mountains and green waters, after all, it can help people live longer. However, the middle and lower classes are still in a different situation. Jia Youwei said calmly.
"That's a strange thing you say. Environmental protection is a great thing for everyone. Jian Jian said as he walked forward with his steps.
"A middle-class like you will definitely raise your hands in favor, after all, it is a good thing for the country and the people, and for future generations. This should be viewed from a long-term and developmental perspective.
Because environmental protection will only bring you more benefits, and will not cause your vital interests to be damaged. Strategically speaking, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
It's just that once you get to the bottom of the hierarchy, good things become bad things. It is not known how many factories have been shut down because they are not up to environmental standards.
If the factories are not able to carry out normal production, then the workers are all unemployed. The unemployed have to find a way out on their own, after all, there will never be any diversion or job transfer.
If the owner of a private company is kind, he can also pay an extra month's salary, which is regarded as severance pay. On the contrary, the wages that were owed by the boss in the past will not be settled. Jia Youwei said casually.
"If there is any large-scale event to be held in Beijing, all the steel plants in Hebei will have to stop production. Even if the efficiency of the steel plant is not good, with overcapacity, high pollution, high energy consumption and serious losses, it is better than being unemployed and having no job to do.
It is said that many steel mills in Hebei have not been able to pay wages to their workers for more than half a year. How can those people live?" The concise mode of thinking suddenly followed Jia Youwei's path and thought about the problem.
"Someone tells you that if you do it like this, tomorrow will be very good, and the day after tomorrow will be even better. However, you don't even know how to live today, do you still think about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?
Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will mean nothing to you. Because you can't see tomorrow, you just want to live in the present moment and make the current difficult days a little better. ”
Jia Youwei is not against environmental protection, but just puts himself in the shoes of the relevant polluting industry practitioners to consider the current practical problems.
"No matter what policies the state promulgates, it will always hurt some of its vital interests. If we don't vigorously advocate and promote environmental protection, will we have to wear gas masks when we talk like this in the future?
The tree dies, and the man lives. They will always find a path and a way for their personal survival. No matter how miserable this is, it is not as miserable as the first wave of laid-off workers in the country in 1998 in the last century!
No matter how difficult it is, there is no difficulty in the people of the whole country who did not have enough to eat at the beginning! Only by carrying it through can we live a better life in the future.
Otherwise, just sit back and wait. As long as people have faith, their faith will not be extinguished, and there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome. "The succinct position is to fully support the country's environmental protection cause.
"Your last sentence reminds me of a Hong Kong show called "Rich and Poor". It is the rich who go to experience the life of the poor for a few days.
Before the official start, the tone of the rich is similar to yours, as long as you have faith, your confidence will not be extinguished, and there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome.
After it started, it changed. With the passage of time, the rich have a different personal feeling, not only busy work, but also meager income.
After work every day, his co-workers will go to another part-time job to support their family, and he only thinks about resting and having a good meal.
As for everything else, I don't think about it at all. The American writer Barbara Allenschweig made this very clear in her book "My Life at the Bottom".
"Rich and Poor" is completely different from Mango Channel's most disgusting "Metamorphosis", which is an experiential journey for rich adults.
They are generally between 30 and 60 years old, and they are no longer children, and they have formed their proper value orientation.
There will be no one to take care of you, it is entirely up to you to persevere. If you can't hold on for even a day and give up, isn't it too lacking in perseverance?
Many of them shed tears and had a new understanding of life, and they felt that they were lucky, which once again proved that the gap between the rich and the poor in Hong Kong and the solidification of classes are quite socially significant.
So that you don't feel fake and particularly disgusted, after all, they are all adults. Is "Metamorphosis" trying to show me how hypocritical human nature really is?" Jia Youwei said eloquently.
"Friedrich Nietzsche once said that life is like a pendulum, oscillating back and forth between pain and boredom. The poor feel more pain, while the rich feel more boredom. "Concise and emotional.
Jia Youwei nodded, expressing a kind of recognition. The reason why I like to chat with conciseness is because of the simple communication of thoughts.
The most annoying thing for him is that others know his true identity, and what he can't do without in the three sentences is to do business with individuals. Otherwise, they just want to be appreciated by themselves.
As for all kinds of stammering and flattery towards him, it is not the thing that Jia Youwei hates the most, after all, he has long been insensitive in his heart.
"I've also watched Mango Channel's popular "Metamorphosis". In fact, in my opinion, it is to satisfy the consumption of poverty by some ordinary urban families, resulting in a certain sense of psychological superiority.
They would even say that the child in the mountains was so pitiful, and they felt that they were doing well, and they were greatly satisfied. Even if you lose your job, you will go to eat dirt and forget about it.
Even in the selected urban families, they are just the appearance of well-off families, and at best they are middle class. Really rich families, especially those like you who still have old money, will not send their children to show the audience. A week to change one's nature, unless hell of it. "Succinctly and bluntly.
