Zhou Xia looked at these selfish old ladies and sighed deeply, as if her mother was also such a person, there was no way, she put away the depression in her heart, and continued: "The evil fruits that were planted at the beginning are now the harvest season. As a result, they do not feel that square dancing may cause trouble to others, they do not feel that giving up their seats is a kind of care rather than a matter of course, and they can even reverse right and wrong and frame others, and the lack of basic public education in their growth period makes them take everything for granted, and even unscrupulous self-interest.

Of course, in addition to education, there is also another personal experience that they have experienced. Unfortunately, these old people grew up in an era when evil had no bottom line. Successive political struggles have brought out the worst elements of human nature. A person, if even his parents and teachers can criticize each other, and the husband and wife who share the bed can expose each other, what else can be trusted? What bad things should not be done?

Whatever else they went through afterwards, the qiē they experienced during their formative years was enough to affect many of them. People grew up looking at the backs of their parents. The education of character depends to a large extent on the words and deeds of the family and the elders around them, and depends on the influence of the ears and eyes. It is precisely this generation that has many blanks and blind spots during the growth period, and when it is most time to accept moral nurturing, emotional guidance, and absorb civilization, it is either a catastrophe or the opposite.

Needless to say, in every era, there will be old people who are disrespectful. But this is especially true of this era. This is not to say that these elders are worse, but that the stigma of their growth has made it impossible for them to shake off some limitations. Although they later experienced painful disillusionment awakening and updating their knowledge, the traces of growing up drinking wolf milk are deep-rooted, and this heavy imprint is not something they can remove.

In fact, it is not because of social diversity and changes in the atmosphere that the original simple and kind old people have become bad, it is precisely the generation of people who have defects in the growth stage who have entered the ranks of the elderly, coupled with the more and more developed media, the old people have become worse and more frequently in front of the public. ”

Lu Xin, Jiang Yanfang, Liu Yao, and Li Qingqing all agreed with Zhou Xia's assertion and nodded yes.

Jiang Yanfang remembered the old people she had met who were disrespectful to the elderly. said with a wry smile: "The group of people who waved the red treasure book back then are old. But their bad doesn't diminish with age. Their values are unruly, unscrupulous, and inhumane. A few years ago, an old man went to the imperial capital to sing red songs to show off, and he didn't even go to the funeral when his mother died; In recent years, it has been reported that some elderly people have violated left-behind young girls. In real life. On the crowded bus, the people who like to take advantage of girls are basically those old men who are old. As for the big aunts, not to mention. Whether it's taking a bus or shopping in a supermarket, it's rare to see them queue up. Those who cross the highway in panic every day are basically the same people.

Some time ago I went to an event. Sitting next to him was a very energetic and talkative old man. During the dinner, he introduced himself and organized a singing team to practice singing somewhere every day, and I asked him what to do if the surrounding residents had big opinions? He told me very proudly: We are not afraid, because they can't win against us, and the more they interfere, the louder the volume will be, and then no one will dare to interfere. For such shameless people, it is simply speechless. ”

Zhou Xia continued to look out the window and sighed: "Most of these old people advocate jungle-style values, and lack basic public awareness and the rules and knowledge of debate, which leads to the bottom line of society will be flattened when disputes are resolved." Just now, those middle school students patiently and politely protested against the harassment of square dancing to the normal teaching order, but in exchange for the verbal humiliation of those old ladies; A few months ago, a man in the imperial capital drove the square dance by firing a gun and releasing a Tibetan mastiff, and the effect was obvious, and of course the man was also punished by law. If the way to solve the problem is not to debate and negotiate, but to counter violence with violence, then it is undoubtedly very dangerous for the operation of the whole society. ”

Lu Xin said with a smile: "Does Confucius have a saying that old age and not dying is a thief?" ”

Li Qingqing said with a smile: "Confucius did say that sentence, and there is such a place in the Analects of Confucius: 'The original soil is ruined, and the son says: 'Young but not grandchildren, long and unspoken, old and not dead is a thief!'" He struck his shin with his rod. This means that he sat with his legs crossed and waited for Confucius, and Confucius scolded him, saying, 'When you were young, you didn't talk about filial piety, and when you grew up, you didn't have anything to say. So saying, he struck him on the shin with his cane. It can be seen that the traditional respect for the elderly and filial piety in our Chinese country are also conditional, that is, the old man must look like an old man, otherwise he will not only not be respected, but also scolded 'old and immortal'. ”

Liu Yao looked at her mother and Lu Xin, and said: "In today's Chinese society, the problems that exist in the elderly should be corrected, and they can't be almost unconditionally obeyed because they are under the respect for the elderly. ”

Jiang Yanfang deliberately ignored her daughter's stubble, it was impossible for her to give up Lu Xin, and said: "Their generation is old, and they may not be too far from the crematorium, even if they have a little bit of anger brought over from that era, even if they are ugly, it doesn't seem to matter much." The problem lies with their next generation. The next generation is their children, they have cultivated them, and the anger and ugliness in them must have been passed on to their next generation to a greater or lesser extent. There are also the next generation, that is, their grandchildren, maybe they are also passing on their anger and ugliness to them through various channels, so there are so many problems in this society now, in the final analysis, it is a bad social atmosphere that has been passed down from generation to generation. Part of the tragedy of this society is that a group of people with low cultural literacy who grew up in an era without any moral beliefs are entering a stage where they can rely on the old and sell the old. ”

Zhou Xia sighed: "The generation over 15 years old at the beginning of the catastrophe is now more than 60 years old, and at the most important time when their outlook on life was formed, they caught up with an era of total rudeness, righteousness and shame, betraying relatives and friends in a noble name, and moral degradation. Of course, that generation was also the saddest generation, after the revolution was driven to the countryside to receive re-education, and finally survived until 77 years, some of them went to university, and the vast majority of those who returned to the city although they participated in the work and entered the state-owned enterprises, but the good times did not last long. Let that generation slowly disappear with the imprint of history! (To be continued......)
