Who are these people who always talk about class?

A friend's car was hit, but the other party did not want to go through the insurance process and offered to repair the car privately. My friend thought it wouldn't be a big deal and agreed.

Later, the two had a conflict over car repairs. The other party felt that the friend's car was just an old car and there was no need to repair it too well, so the two quarreled. The other person said: "No matter how well the car is repaired, it can't change your class."

The friend was confused. After all these years, he really didn't know what class he was in. He had an ordinary income and lived an ordinary life. What class should it be?

Maybe his car was too ordinary, so the other party thought that he was not a person of status.

"Then what kind of car is it?" I asked, "It can't be a Maserati or a Ferrari, right?" As soon as I said it, I felt stupid. People who drive Ferraris would personally Going to get your car repaired?

"It's just a Korean car." My friend said.

"Then what class is he?" I was really curious.

My friend said I don’t know, I don’t know him.

In recent years, we often see the word class in the media, which means upward class and downward class. Everyone seems to be anxious about class. If they don't squeeze into the upper class, they won't have their own place when they immigrate to the moon. Class is really a word that evokes mixed emotions.

Maybe it’s because my living environment is too narrow. I rarely hear my colleagues and friends talk about class. Everyone is pretty much the same. They go to work at the same time and drive the same car. cars, and clothes of similar price range.

Of course, at some point, you will also see pictures posted by relatives and friends of a certain class in the circle of friends unintentionally: a family photo in front of the villa; a trip to Singapore for the Spring Festival; a son working in France... …

But I didn’t hear them talking about class during the gathering. Could it be that they are concerned about the feelings of ordinary people like us?

People who are always talking about class are what class they are.

The hierarchy we are talking about now is the same as the pyramid theory we talked about before.

Most of the people who like to talk about this kind of issue are those who think they are very good, but in fact they are very ordinary people. Jack Ma will not say what class he belongs to, although everyone on the planet knows what class he is, he will only say that he does not love money.

Class is the ultimate goal of many people. What are the criteria for division? Measuring class by money alone seems too superficial and unconvincing.

The Indian movie "Starting Line" is about class: Raj and Mitav, a couple, worked hard for their daughter to go to a prestigious school and made a lot of troubles. Things that make people laugh or cry.

Raj is a self-employed business owner and has money, but according to his conditions, he can only be considered middle-class, and his children cannot get into prestigious schools at all. Because India divides classes based on whether they speak English. In order to allow her daughter to enter a prestigious school, the wife educates her children to speak English and less Indian. Also moved to a school district where rich people live.

But even so, they were still rejected by prestigious schools because the schools did not want to accept the children of an individual businessman. Obvious class contempt.

This film hurts the hearts of many parents. Chinese parents who cannot afford housing in school districts will feel guilty that they cannot give their children the best education.

Rich people in a wealthy area of ??a city in China do not want famous schools to accept middle-class children, believing that being allocated educational resources belonging to the rich will lower educational standards. Directly speaking to middle-class parents: "Don't pursue things that don't belong to you." This is blatant discrimination.

At that time, many netizens responded, "Then why don't you just send them abroad? Just go to Wang Sicong's alma mater."

Some time ago, the speech of Liu Yuanyuan, a talented woman from Peking University, went viral. network. Everyone was moved by her counterattack. A girl who thought she was not even from a poor family successfully changed her class through her own efforts. It is very inspiring to realize your ideal through learning. She can do it, why can't I? Why is the process of realizing ideals classified into classes?

Why is it always necessary to intensify an opposing struggle?

In "Starting Line", Raj and Mita finally sent their daughter to a public school. The chicken soup-like ending belongs only to movies.

In reality, class is indeed like an undercurrent everywhere. It will pop up at certain critical moments (such as buying a house, such as children entering school). They are unwilling to face it, but they cannot avoid it. But if you spend your whole life fighting against class and unwilling to face yourself, you will also suffer.

Those who are lucky enough to have changed their class, are they grateful to their original class; do they hate it; or do they not want to look back?
