The first batch of post-00s to go home for the New Year are shouldering heavy responsibilities in the village!

As the Spring Festival holiday approaches, post-00s who are studying and working abroad are also returning to the village one after another. The young post-2000s quickly integrated into the life of the village after returning to the village. They helped carry the coffins of the deceased old people, pressed the pigs when they were slaughtered, and served as the "Minister of Rites" in the village. They became the main force in the village and passed on the tradition. culture.

After the old man passed away, the post-2000 generation took over the important task of helping to carry the coffin

Taking over the work of his father and becoming the main force in the village

On January 10, a netizen from Hunan posted In the video, an old man passed away in a local rural area. Since the young people in the village had not returned yet, the post-2000 college students who returned home took on the important task of helping to carry the coffin. In the video, a young man who looks like a student wearing glasses lifts the coffin together with others under the watchful eyes of the elders in the village. The photographer of the video said that the post-00s generation began to slowly become the main force in the village, taking over the work of their fathers and having the courage to try.

Mr. Shi, the person involved, said that carrying coffins is a local custom. It is the first time for people born after 2000 to join in and take over the work of their fathers. He is proud that he can pass on the custom. Mr. Shi said: "It was because I was worried that I couldn't carry it for the first time, but more importantly, I felt proud. The adults said that we have to pass on the legacy and take over in the future because they are getting old."

Within two days, this video of "post-00s helping the deceased old man carry the coffin" received 700,000 likes and 80,000 comments. The most favorable comment said: "The moment he lifted it up, he felt like he had transformed from an ignorant boy into an upright man." Netizen "X's Baby Wen'er" said: "The post-00 generation is not the beat generation, it is You are using your own way to support your responsibility to this society. "Netizen "Xin Ruoxiangyang" said: "This year I also started to lift up, but I am not married, there is no way, when his descendants kneel in front of you. , I have to give up everything and go to help.”

It’s either to be a pig or to be the “Shang Shu of the Ministry of Etiquette”

The post-00 generation is passing on in joy

Except. Carrying the heavy burden of the village with their young shoulders, the post-00s who returned to the village one after another fully participated in various annual activities in the village. In Zhaotong, Yunnan, the first batch of post-00s to go home for the New Year are already helping to mark the New Year. People born in the 2000s put on aprons and swarmed up to drag the big fat pig out of the pig pen. They pulled the pig's mouth, pulled the pig's ears, lifted the pig's legs, and pressed the New Year pig on the chopping board. Some netizens said that the power of backdoors has been established in the 2000s, but the technology still depends on those born in the 1970s.

In Wenshan, Yunnan, the post-2000 pig-killing team is already in place. The young men are wearing pink aprons and holding pig-butchering knives, striding towards the pig pen. Netizens said that this is the pig who wears the pinkest clothes and presses the hardest.

Another "important task" for those born in the 2000s is to serve as the "Shang Shu of the Ministry of Etiquette" in the village, responsible for keeping accounts of the village's human relations. There are especially more girls who take on this important responsibility. Because of their status as college students, they are often considered by the villagers to be good at writing and keeping accounts, so they "occupy high positions" at a young age. I opened the guest gift book and kept accounts for the villagers who came to receive gifts. Some of them also needed to return gifts, so I was very busy. Netizens joked that the faces of these college students who kept accounts showed clear stupidity.

For these post-2000 "Minister of Rites", the biggest difficulties are that they don't know people, and they can't hear dialects clearly, because these two points are always disliked by the villagers: college students can't even read these words. Can't write? It also made a lot of jokes:

@ LostLittle Lamb: I heard someone say his surname was Huan before. I said which Huan, Huan Huan, so I wrote it, but I couldn’t find this person later. , I only found out after asking the child that his surname was Fan. Model Fan, I didn’t understand a word of it.

@大 Pig: I also did this at the beginning of the month. Some people clearly have the surname Peng, but insist on saying that their surname is Pan. I really don’t understand. And it’s obviously Xu, but they don’t even know except you, the one next to you!

Enthusiasm and courtesy but don’t know anything about it?

Returning college students were entrusted with important responsibilities

Previously, when college students born in the 2000s returned to their hometowns, they ridiculed themselves that college students were "enthusiastic, polite, and ignorant of all questions". The carriages in the countryside are full of college students saying "hello", "thank you" and "excuse me" one after another, full of harmonious and friendly atmosphere.

In fact, the post-2000 college students who returned home this time are not only polite, but also good at work. The topic "Every returning college student is entrusted with important responsibilities" has also become a hot topic.

Some people go to the bank to withdraw money for grandpa as soon as they get home, while others are responsible for adjusting the TV, deleting text messages, and helping grandpa block fraudulent calls. There are also people who want to repair TVs, refrigerators, WiFi, mobile phones, save phones, and download TV series when they go back. Although they don't know how to repair things, they can do it by chance every time and have become capable people on the team.

A netizen said that it feels like many students are being cared for in the hospital this year. There is also a 19-year-old college student who was praised for helping a 102-year-old grandmother obtain pension certification.

Today, the oldest generation born in 2000 is already 23 years old. They are using their own way to step onto the stage of life, exuding the unique vitality of young people. What are the post-00s generation around you like? When you return to your hometown, will you be able to work like the current generation born in 2000?

Female college students born in the 2000s work as "gravekeepers" in the cemetery: there is no intrigue at work

Jimu News Commentator Wu Shuangjian

The job is simple and leisurely. A post-2000 female college student went to work in a cemetery after graduation and became a "gravekeeper." On November 18, Ms. Tan, a "post-00s gravekeeper" in Chongqing, told Jimu News that she studied funeral-related majors in college and her monthly salary was 4,500 yuan, working from 8 a.m. to 5 a.m., without having to work overtime.

When the incident first came out, it became a hot topic. On the one hand, many people don’t understand why post-2000 female college students go to work in cemeteries. On the other hand, many people speculate that the monthly salary of 10,000 yuan is for a well-established public institution. Some netizens said that they will not receive complaint calls, do not need to resolve disputes, the salary is good, and the work is leisurely, as if they would like to praise this job to the sky after retirement.

Now, according to the latest reports from Jimu News, these speculations are indeed speculations.

But are there any advantages to this job? There are still some. For example, there are no various KPI assessments and no overtime work. As Ms. Tan said in the video, it is a simple and leisurely life with cats, dogs and the Internet. It is an unpretentious life that feels like being isolated from the world and retiring in advance.

But the salary of 4,500 yuan is neither too much nor too little. Many people read it and think that even if this position has these advantages, they may not be able to do it. Fortunately, the person involved graduated from a funeral-related major, so there will be no psychological barriers. This means that this job is neither as good nor as bad as imagined. Whether a job is good or not and whether it suits you is like whether a shoe fits your feet. Only the client knows.

In the final analysis, people still have certain misunderstandings about the work of cemeteries. Many people think that working in an institution such as a cemetery or a funeral home will result in a high salary. This year, "A woman in Xinxiang, Henan said she earned 1,600 yuan a night working in a funeral parlor" and "The funeral parlor in Bao'an District, Shenzhen City is recruiting porters for 800 yuan/day for the day shift and 1,600 yuan/day for the evening shift", etc., which triggered waves of public opinion. Finally, All proved to be rumors.

Working in a cemetery is essentially a service industry, and it also requires dedication and dedication. No unit will raise "idle people like retirees." It is understood that Ms. Tan's main job is to receive the family members of the deceased, handle formalities, and provide "cloud memorial service" services, which shows that she also needs to treat people. This is not a "social terror paradise". People will still complain if things are not done well.

In April this year, Xinhua News Agency reported on a group of "post-90s" cemetery workers. The report said that when they work here, they have a profound awareness, understanding and reflection on life. As for the question of "are you afraid?", a girl asked rhetorically: "The deceased here are all people who are missed by others. What is there to be afraid of?" This rhetorical question hit the point.

This is true in all walks of life. It needs new blood to join, and it needs highly qualified and knowledgeable professionals to provide new service concepts. So, as a society, are we not afraid of these cemetery workers and these living people? Do you really accept and understand their job? That's not necessarily true.

It is probably their normal state to earn ordinary people's wages and do jobs that are not understood. It is often reported in the media that employees in the funeral, cemetery and other industries do not dare to disclose their work, do not dare to eat with others, and do not take the initiative to shake hands with others. It seems that what society does not understand is not only their wages, but also their profession itself.

According to media reports, my country’s funeral industry has a huge demand for talents. The annual talent gap in funeral homes alone is about 10,000. There are now eight secondary and higher vocational colleges in the country that offer funeral majors, and the total number of funeral graduates is less than 1,000 every year. In other words, there is still room for development in related industries. Would the situation be much better if society had less prejudice and more understanding and support?

As a female college student born in the 2000s, Ms. Tan can openly reveal her career as a "gravekeeper" online, which is actually a good thing. It shows that she can accept this career from the bottom of her heart. Yes, that's good. On the other hand, this move can also eliminate "errors" in people's perception of these professions, so that they can be understood and respected by the public.

Of course, with the progress of the times and society, people will only become more and more tolerant and understanding of professions including funerals. There is no distinction between high and low professions. There is no need to beautify or discredit any profession. Just seek truth from facts and accept each other.
