Three thoughts on the Russo-Ukrainian War

In the past few days, the media has been reporting on the war between Russia and Ukraine. One morning, my husband was also talking about this in the living room, probably after watching the news. My husband said that people living in high-rise buildings in Ukraine are in bad luck right now. There are power outages, water and natural gas outages, and they cannot buy anything (shops are closed). Prices are soaring, with kiwi fruit rising to 100 yuan per kilogram. I asked, is that one hundred yuan a Ukrainian currency or a RMB? My husband didn’t know the answer clearly, and he didn’t explain it on Douyin. Regardless of whether the above information is true or not, the people who were hurt the most during the war must be the ordinary people living at the bottom.

When it comes to war, people of our generation don’t have much experience because we grew up in a peaceful era, let alone our children, who don’t even know what war is. The following are three thoughts that the Russia-Ukraine war brought to me.

First, let children understand war.

Today’s children live a happy life without any pressure, which leads to their lack of sense of responsibility and self-motivation. For example, they don’t like doing homework, they don’t like housework, and they don’t want to do all the things that require mental effort, as if everything is what parents should do by nature. If you understand the war and the history of our country, you will know how lucky you are to live in today's era, and you should cherish and be grateful.

Specific methods include watching documentaries and patriotic movies with your children, buying some historical books suitable for children, etc.

Second, is war far away from us?

One morning, I was waiting for the bus at the bus stop. There was a young couple standing next to me. The boy looked at the five-star red flag flying in front of the office building in the opposite community and said, how bright the red flag is. Ukraine, we are still doing shit now! Although the words are a bit rude, they are not rough. We are so lucky to be born in the strong embrace of our motherland.

The wars in other countries have nothing to do with us. In the past few days, there have been reports on the Internet that because some Chinese netizens have made random comments about Ukraine, some people in Ukraine have become hostile towards the Chinese in Ukraine. What I also feel personally is that the supplier of our grain and oil store told us that the price of flour and cooking oil will increase. As for the increase, the price is still to be determined. Douyin also said that the price increase of wheat reached a 14-year high. Listening to many reports analyzing the Russo-Ukrainian war, we also know that Russia and China are at odds with each other. We hope that the Russo-Ukrainian war will end soon and peace will be achieved as soon as possible.

Therefore, we must not have any thoughts about things that have nothing to do with ourselves, and we should not comment on the war between Ukraine and Russia in random and malicious ways on the Internet. Maybe we ordinary people can't do much, but we can preserve the kindness in our hearts and sympathize with the people of Ukraine and Russia. If we put ourselves in their shoes, don't we feel the same way as they do?

3. How do we ordinary people deal with the fear of war?

Then there is a war, should we overreact? In the past few days, Moments and public accounts have been flooded with news about the Russia-Ukraine war. Some have analyzed the causes of the war, analyzed the war situation, and told everyone how to escape if a war breaks out. There is indeed a sense that we are in the middle of a war. feeling. My husband's reaction was to quickly buy two pieces of mineral water for the family, and then told me that since we live in a high-rise building, we must prepare some water and food at home. It makes sense, it’s best to prepare a survival kit or something like that, just in case.

I think these reactions are normal. I need to prepare food for two months, and buy some mineral water, biscuits and the like, in case there is a water or power outage or the epidemic strikes back, so that we won’t be in chaos. Then, do what you have to do, work hard, invest prudently, consume sparingly, and maintain a certain amount of cash flow at home.

A family is like a country, and a country is like a country. If everyone takes care of themselves, the country will be powerful. Finally, I believe that the party believes in the great motherland and has the ability to protect our beautiful homeland.
