What do you think is the most terrible thing after this epidemic?

These days, I have been shut up at home, always scribbling something, and occasionally throwing those fragmentary words in my "From the Century". In these days, I have to stop to make a living, but I have time to really feel this era and feel the skin of this era.

Really, in recent years, we seem to have done nothing but witness history. We have witnessed the global anti-epidemic, witnessed the tragic and terrible, so that each of us can not stay out of it. Let us know for the first time how precious food, water and even bright sunshine are outside. Before the epidemic has passed, we have witnessed the largest ground war in Europe and even the world in 2 1 century, and now it has become the most tragic street fighting. We thought it was just a local short-term small-scale conflict in a region. What we didn't expect was that more and more countries were involved. Combined with the epidemic situation and the trend of international economic formation, it may also bring secondary disasters of energy and food crisis.

There was an air crash of China Eastern Airlines a while ago. Another sightseeing boat came from Japan these two days and lost contact at sea. We are all very sad. At the same time, I really feel how fragile people are. A 33-year-old daughter was killed by the internet for asking a takeaway brother to deliver food to her father who was forbidden to cook at home. There are also many entrepreneurs and so-called freelancers, and there are many ordinary people who make ends meet on meager wages. Under the attack of this epidemic, I wonder how many people will suffer from anxiety and depression.

We used to think how happy and rich we are now. Everyone is scrambling to buy a house and a car, advocating a happy and decent life and showing off their wealth and elegant taste. Many enterprises also aim at serving the high-end market, and people are trying hard or pretending to be high-end people. According to a survey, the most people who buy Apple mobile phones are factory assembly line workers and basic employees whose income is below 10K. Even some so-called high net worth individuals suddenly find themselves facing a life crisis.

We never thought that we would be really poor to extreme poverty in this era, and we never thought that we would worry about eating in this era. But it did happen in our time. The epidemic that lasted for nearly three years made us aware of the unprecedented crisis. Large enterprises may be able to survive, but most private small and micro enterprises are difficult to cope with. More dangerously, 80% of ordinary people are employed in private small and medium-sized enterprises. Rent reduction seems to be only for merchants to rent public houses, while renting private houses can only depend on whether the landlord is kind.

What is more dangerous is that these private small and medium-sized enterprises on which most people depend are unstable, which leads to the unstable life of most ordinary people who are employed. Even wages were delayed or reduced, and some even went bankrupt directly. Mortgage, rent, education, and medical care have themselves become mountains that weigh on ordinary people. When the epidemic reduces our income for a month or two, we will find that almost all the houses we borrowed are not ours, and we may not be able to afford to eat blind box vegetarian dishes for only a few days at a time. We seem to have returned to the fifties and sixties overnight. Maybe in a few years, we can also tell future generations that we have experienced a plague period when we could hardly eat.

Yes, this epidemic has made most of us seem to recognize the reality. We all swam naked under the prosperity of the floating world. We used to swim naked without underwear, but now we have to sell bones and blood. We walked outside, as if we were all rich, and everyone was glamorous and decent. Everyone is thinking about how to enjoy a better life, pursue elegance and exquisiteness, and be tall and beautiful. Even rural revitalization is vigorously developing rural tourism, and an inevitable link in the construction of small towns around the country is to engage in leisure tourism. If you spend a lot of money and make a stunt, you have to get a few scenic spots and build a few squares. It seems that people all over the country are rich and have leisure time to wander around. Maybe what we really want to do is not engage in culture and tourism, but actually form a small town or rural life that can be revitalized. If young people can come back, they are willing to stay here and enjoy the beauty of town and country life. More importantly, they can survive here. The real urban economy and rural life may be a favorable way to solve the current contradiction between people's livelihood.
