【Essay】Hate "Little Brother, Little Sister"
When I was in high school, a male classmate joked with me and called me Oba in front of everyone in gym class. This boy is still very good-looking, and his voice is also sinister. All of a sudden, I panicked and snorted, and a bunch of people started laughing maniacally.
Oba, according to my understanding, should be the name of a girlfriend to a boyfriend between a couple, and I think so, and my classmates naturally think so. The boy suddenly called me Oba, as if I had an affair with him, and everyone laughed maliciously.
A year after graduating from high school, another title that I couldn't understand was born: "Little Brother". On the other hand, there is also the "little sister".
When I was waiting at the station, a stranger suddenly called me little brother, which made me feel extremely embarrassed and overwhelmed. As for online social networking, this kind of title is even more proliferating. A little brother and sister, who are obviously passers-by who have never met before, shouted extremely cordial, and even a little numb.
I don't know what the young people who use these buzzwords think, but in my thinking, these words are tantamount to hooliganism.
In "The Story of Deer and Ding", Wei Xiaobao called his sister when he saw a prostitute in Lichun Courtyard, entered the palace, and was rewarded by the fake queen mother and called the beautiful palace maid sister. What kind of feeling does this feel? Oily and smooth, not serious. It's a hooligan face.
People are close and far apart, brothers and sisters are close to each other, and they call each other older brothers and sisters, younger brothers and sisters. If it's a good friend, then there's nothing wrong with calling it like this, but among passers-by, this kind of name seems very impolite.
I once called a female classmate girl, which caused her dissatisfaction, she asked me to call her classmate, and then I called my classmates more when I saw my peers. As for "Mr., Madam, Miss, Friend, Guy...... these can be used to cover all aspects of life and be polite.
In the past, Taobao customer service used to call customers "pro", because it could bring some warmth to the cold machine. Now the popularity of Douyin has confused the relationship between people.
There is a problem on Zhihu that Douyin is annoying, some people answer that it is "little brother, little sister" and other titles, and some people comment on not shouting this, what to shout. In this regard, it can really be said that Douyin is not shallow in its legacy.
There are polite terms in primary school Chinese textbooks, not to mention a lot of novels and various titles in film and television dramas. And the popularity of Douyin has almost plunged the already confused young people into an illusory world.
In the illusory world, there are beautiful little sisters and handsome little brothers, they are incomparably beautiful, incomparably kind, a bunch of romantic confessions, and all kinds of fancy sultry. Gradually, it makes you feel like this is the way the world is like this.
But when you go back to real life, you call people little brother, little sister, and they will really comfort you and protect you like your brother and sister?
The little brother is not the elder brother, and the little sister is not the elder sister. You don't know them, and they don't know you. In life, when you see a beautiful girl, you call your little sister, and when you see a handsome boy, you call your little brother, which will only make people annoying, and there is no difference between them and children in kindergarten.
Don't get lost in the bandwagon, keep your bearings.
