What do you mean my last name was Zeng?

How to interpret "Are you happy? My surname is Zeng. "

The migrant worker surnamed Zeng answered some irrelevant questions in the dialogue with reporters. The author understands that there are three meanings: first, I don't know how to answer. When the reporter asked questions, he first shirked: "I am a peasant worker, don't ask me." However, the reporter continued to ask questions. He found it difficult to answer and didn't know how to answer. He just answered casually, perfunctory. Second, I am unwilling to answer. Most migrant workers in cities have a feeling of being forgotten, and their inferiority complex exists in many migrant workers to varying degrees. They have a natural feeling of "dare not approach" strangers who are higher in status and well dressed than themselves, especially journalists who carry "long guns and short guns", so they are unwilling to answer reporters' questions. Third, I dare not answer. What is happiness? A thousand people have a thousand Hamlets in their hearts, fearing that a bad answer will make people laugh, especially when facing reporters. The answer is to be on TV!

Different people have different interpretations of this dialogue. Some people interpret it from the perspective of happiness, some people interpret it from the perspective of reporter's questioning skills, and some people interpret it from the perspective that CCTV dares to insist on the authenticity of news. The author agrees with these views. But what I want to express is, with the acceleration of urbanization process, especially the new urbanization process, how to make "rural people" truly integrate into the city and become an "urban person", so that they can have the same basic rights as "urban people", such as equal right to speak, right to dialogue, personal right and personality right, and psychologically and spiritually dispel the differences between urban and rural areas, identity differences, regional discrimination and household registration discrimination. If the migrant worker surnamed Zeng dared to be "equal" with reporters from the heart, perhaps there would be no "Are you happy? My surname is Zeng ",a kind of irrelevant dialogue.

"Are you happy? My surname is Zeng, showing helplessness.

In the past two years, the topic of happiness has been mentioned more and more. Emerging happiness surveys and urban happiness rankings not only give people something to talk about after dinner, but also inspire people to think about happiness to some extent. Unfortunately, however, every time these so-called surveys and rankings are either mysterious and lack practical significance; Either it is divorced from social reality and has a great contrast with the personal feelings of ordinary people. Almost every time I come out, netizens will exclaim "I am happy". Some netizens said: "The interviewed officials are happy."

For example, the list of urban happiness just released not long ago has caused great controversy. The top ten cities with happiness are Lhasa, Taiyuan, Hefei, Tianjin, Changsha, Hohhot, Shijiazhuang, Jinan, Yinchuan and Chongqing. Lhasa ranks among the top three residents' happiness for six consecutive years. Unfortunately, Beijing, where I live, is not in the top ten, but I want to ask people living in the above cities: Where does your happiness come from? At least at the moment of high housing prices, expensive medical treatment and difficult schooling, the author is not happy.

There are thousands of definitions of happiness. Happiness can be a long drought, an old friend in a foreign country, a meal when you are hungry, and a good medicine when you are injured. It can also be Confucius' respect for morality, Plato's "utopia" and Kang Youwei's great harmony society. As Rousseau said, "the pursuit of happiness is the only motive force of human activities." Happiness is a pluralistic concept and a measure of the harmony between human soul and the outside world. According to the internationally accepted measurement method, the indicators of happiness include: living conditions, quality of life, psychological adjustment, interpersonal relationships and future expectations.

This reminds me of a classic line: "I'm hungry, and I'm happier than I am when I see someone holding a meat bun in his hand;" I was cold and saw someone wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket. He was happier than me. I want to go to the bathroom. It's just a pit. If you squat there, you will be happier than me ... "Maybe happiness comes from comparison, but the author thinks that happiness comes more from a person's inner satisfaction and self-confidence. The more desire, the less happiness you feel. CCTV survey shows that people with an annual income of less than 50,000 can feel happier than those with an annual income of 654.38+10,000.

Happiness experience is specific and exclusive for everyone, and it is difficult for individuals to influence and change the external environment. But for a country, perhaps the standard of "happiness" is to be able to provide people with a broad space for free development, adhere to the people-oriented development concept, and meet the people's happiness needs to the maximum extent. A well-run society must be one in which economic and social development and the improvement of people's happiness level go hand in hand and develop in a balanced way. If a society develops rapidly and people's happiness index continues to decline, the social development may be unbalanced, which may lead to social unrest and hinder economic development.

The survey on happiness has been carried out many times, and the results of each time will be disappointing. Why are people in China more and more unhappy? Perhaps a set of data can help you find the answer: there are 26 million depressed patients in China, 90% of college students are confused about employment, 70% of the public are worried about drug safety, 80% of families can't afford their children's tuition, more than 700 million people are injured by occupation, 47% of mothers are unable to raise their children, 70% of office workers are not harmonious at work, and 70% of intellectuals are on the verge of "karoshi" ... Food safety, environmental pollution and lack of social security make people face a crisis of survival ... The pain of development can't be eliminated for a long time, and it will eventually grow into a cancer and bring great hidden dangers.

Fortunately, in recent years, there have been more and more discussions about happiness in society, and the ruling class has begun to pay attention to people's "happiness". 20 12 NPC and CPPCC's government work report put forward that "people's livelihood is happier and more dignified", which triggered strong condemnation from the whole society and brought about a re-examination of the happiness picture. Happiness may have a beginning, but it is hard to say that it will end. Regardless of the past, present or future, the discussion, thinking and pursuit of "happiness" will continue.

News viewpoint

Many people said that after watching this video, they felt the happiness brought by TV news for the first time. Despite this pleasant interview, the reporter is obviously inexperienced and the problem is so big that it scares people to death. But the joke "My surname is Zeng" can appear on TV news that is more serious than lively, and it has never happened before. Laugh, the moon is bright and thousands of miles away, and heaven remains our neighbourhood. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. No matter where Zeng Shu's happiness is now, we all wish you "true happiness" one day, and hope that the TV station can relive Zeng Shu's happiness and let him finish his unfinished life story.
