In the Hutongs of Beijing, "the more modern things are, the less emotional they are." Do you agree with this statement? Tell me why.

This is a philosophical statement. It is said that if modern things are used well, they can enhance people's emotional communication, but the reality is the opposite.

Take hospitality as an example. The modern way is to book a table in a hotel. Although the food and drinks are sumptuous, it is not as good as having a plate of peanuts and two taels of peanuts on a hot stove at home. Laobaigan and three pieces of pork head meat are more delicious.

Take communication as an example again. With the increasing popularity of landline phones, mobile phones, mobile phones, PHS and Yimei, the time and space distance between people has been shortened. But it’s rare to see family letters written by people themselves. The emotional exchanges between relatives are also like what Zhao Benshan said in his sketch. Upstairs and downstairs, the husband and wife are already done eating. Come down, Missy. Say whatever you have to say, it’s easy. Most of the phone calls that college students make to their families are because they don’t have much money, so they can send some more. Tear-jerking letters of emotional expression are no longer common.

The same goes for living. With the expansion of the city, people’s houses have become spacious, but the distances have become farther; the old neighbors in the courtyard have become the next door and the upper and lower floors that are not ventilated to each other. Unless something happens, they rarely visit each other. ;Meeting is just greetings and nodding - emotional communication lacks the time basis it deserves.

As the saying goes, relatives come together no matter how far or near they are. How close relatives are, even between father and son, if they don't move around, they are like strangers to each other. Relatives are not as good as close neighbors, close neighbors are not as good as opposites, and opposites are not as good as acquaintances. There is a certain basis and reason for saying this.
