Although poor, we should try our best to live a good life.

I grew up in Beijing. Although ordinary people in my family have never been rich, Beijing has had some security since the ticket age, so I have never been hungry since I was a child. When I grew up, I always wanted to get the freedom of the vegetable market by my own efforts and get rid of the poverty of this ordinary citizen, but I still struggled for the freedom of the vegetable market with limited results.

Wang's life has always attracted attention. Since his parents' time, he has lived on his salary, and he has to be careful in spending in January. Digging in the east and west, the remaining rice is broken, so we should keep it for a rainy day. This kind of ordinary people's less affluent life has become the standard way of life of their own class. Poverty has been limiting your imagination, which is unimaginable. There is a limit to being better than the next one, but I am also afraid that there will be an accident and I will become nothing.

Trapped by life and limited by experience, people can't help but be deeply afraid of poverty, but fortunately, they can still eat enough. But beyond this life, there are still many poverty that have never been experienced or have no vision. Life enters middle age, and this kind of life is basically stereotyped. Everyone has seen more things, so they have more feelings and helplessness about the human suffering.

I always compare myself with the average income line, but there are still 600 million people in China whose monthly income is less than 1000. According to this standard, carelessness is not the low-end grassroots of the pyramid. It's hard to say whether it's joy or sadness. I just sigh the hardships of life, so I have to be happy and strive to struggle from living to living.

Although I lived in the suburbs of Beijing when I was a child, I felt good about rural life because I was in the suburbs of Beijing after all. In fact, this kind of fairness may just turn a blind eye, because such rural life should not be all. /kloc-in 0/8, I went to the countryside below Cangzhou once. Cangzhou is a heavy industrial city in Hebei, with high-speed rail and a prosperous and clean urban area. But the countryside, which is dozens of minutes' drive from the urban area, is far from the city.

Only part of the village is asphalt or slate roads, and half is dirt roads. When there is too much rain in summer, this dirt road becomes a quagmire. People come and go, pressing out two mud ditches. It's freezing in winter, but it's just giggling and waiting for a while. When the weather gets warmer in spring, it begins to boil. We can imagine the inconvenience and embarrassment of living on the edge. When you come back from the outside, you will inevitably have mud on your feet.

Living conditions in rural areas have been greatly improved, and basic household appliances are still available. However, there is still a big gap between the brand of home appliances and the use of new models and new cities. Young people use more new household appliances, while old people use more old ones. Some people are unwilling to change for a long time, and some are replaced by young people. For example, there is a big bag of TV (transistor? )。 Although young people use new electrical appliances, brand models are mostly middle and low grade, and high-end models and imported electrical appliances are rarely used. Especially young people, most of them work outside the home and can use household appliances.

In daily life, there is air conditioning and running water. Tap water is a well in the village, and its water quality is unstable, depending on the village environment (drinking water pollution has become a major factor in the high incidence of cancer). Cooking with gas tanks and firewood is naturally much more inconvenient than natural gas. There are still many dry toilets in the village, which is really unacceptable. The dry toilet at home was fine, and it was cleaned in time after spraying the medicine. The villagers felt sick as soon as they entered. The poop came out of the pit. Imagine how it is possible to squat down. The picture is indescribable. I really feel that going to the countryside is better than going to the public toilets in the village, not to mention flies and maggots. Every time I think of this photo, I feel queasy.

Because of these basic environmental problems, the number of flies becomes numb. There are curtains at home, and a fly swatter at home can finally control the total amount. When you sit in the yard, you will feel the cross talk of Marek Lisan. A group of shadows can push you away. There will be a big explosion at first, and people will surrender after sitting for a while. Too much, drive it away and destroy it, as long as it doesn't fall on you.

The cost of eating and drinking is also uncomfortable. For example, from cooked food to oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea, there is nothing lacking, but most of them are unknown brands, and the taste hygiene is not guaranteed. Most things are cheap, but they are worth it. Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar all have a basic cost line. If the price of the product is equal to or lower than the cost line, then the product must be chemically blended, and the harm to the human body will not be said. There is plenty of alcohol and tobacco, and I don't smoke myself. I don't know the quality of tobacco brands, but most of the wines are local brands, and it's still quite uncomfortable to drink them (cheap corn alcohol for brewing, or alcohol with more impurities).

I went for a walk in the shop in the village. From electric kettles to food and drink expenses, they are basically unheard of brands, or simply cottage brands. I asked my relatives why there were no good brands in the shop. Answer: A good brand is expensive. I got in, but nobody wanted it. Later, I simply stopped going in. However, the safety of such electrical appliances can be imagined. Eating and drinking and other miscellaneous brands are also one of the reasons for the high incidence of diseases such as cancer.

People in the village also don't pay attention to medical care. If they have a minor illness, they just go to the drugstore to buy some medicine for serious diseases. If they are really bad, they go to the hospital. Fortunately, every family has a car, so it is very convenient to go to township hospitals. The village pharmacy also went to have a look. There are many kinds of drugs, but most of the same problems are unheard of brands. Who knows its true and false efficacy?

When I came back, I took the car of my neighbors in the village, mostly relatives and friends in the countryside. The young people at home work in the hospital in the city, have knowledge and live a well-off life, but the old people still like to live in the village. Children come back to visit the elderly once a week. The food and drink expenses at home are all serious brands bought by my son in a large supermarket in the city. When I come back, I will bring them back, which is enough for daily expenses. This shows that educated young people have different values. In fact, in rural areas, most young people have gone out to work, and there are still some fields at home. Although it is hard, the income will not be too far from that of urban residents. At least every family has a car, and many families have more than one. Besides cars, there are many motorcycles and agricultural tricycles. From the perspective of car ownership, it is not lower than that of cities, or even higher (of course, traffic in rural areas is inconvenient, and motor vehicles are just needed, unlike buses and subways in cities). But the overall quality of life, the quality difference is really quite big, and there is still a life value behind it. I think it's okay to eat and drink, but it's okay to eat and die anyway. Deep down, long-term poverty limits people's requirements and standards for a better life.

In fact, it is the same in another city. For example, the old residential property in the city is a problem. It is easier to ask for a property than to spend money. Most young people want to have a property service to make the community clean and orderly. Old people don't want to spend property fees. They think it was a mess before, and that's it. So is asking for property. Most of the relocated households want to find cheap properties, and most of the people who buy commercial houses want to find more expensive properties with high service quality. The conflict between consumption level and values is everywhere. Are you really poor? Not exactly. Many people have cars and pets at home. How much is the tax and gasoline for this car a year? The cost of this pet is not small, even higher than the living expenses of an old man (the old man eats a few mouthfuls of meat a day). How expensive is it to get a dog food? How expensive is ham sausage? )。

I once opened a small bookstore in Fuguiyuan for a short time, but I did see the thinking of ordinary people at the bottom. The bookstore is opened in a small supermarket, and every day a middle-aged man comes to buy cigarettes and wine. A pack of cigarettes and a bottle or two of beer a day was also the consumption of 10 to 20 yuan at that time. When the children came to the bookstore, it was estimated that the teacher asked to read extra-curricular books, so they bought a second-hand book by Lu Xun (10 yuan? 15 yuan? It slipped my mind. ) As a result, at night, the man dragged his child to the bookstore and the child was crying. This person was reprimanding the child for buying useless old books (this virtue makes you more desperate to let the child buy new books), and he also thought that the child had done something wrong. In this case, I will refund the money, so as to save the children from being wronged. I believe that after this incident, children will have psychological shadows all their lives. Really poor? Just smoke less cigarettes and drink less beer, but no. Reading is redundant, eating and drinking is the right thing. The children of this kind of ordinary citizen thinking family may try to change themselves and make progress at first, but in the end most of them will copy the ignorance and ignorance of the previous generation.

There is also the old people attracted by watching the supermarket specials. Eggs and cabbage, which are a few cents cheaper, can make the elderly queue for hours in the early morning. Is it really so poor? Most of them are. No What is poor is the inner fear of poverty, and what is poor is the values formed in life.

Insecurity in the future and fear of poverty in the past have caused many people's value worries and abnormal consumption patterns. This kind of poverty is deep in the heart, but money is only a tool of life, not an end. Through these seemingly money-saving behaviors, the money saved can't actually preserve the value, and the safety factor is only a figure on the book. You ate cheap and cheap, but you got sick in the end. How much is the medical fee? Don't you lose money by saving money? If you don't know how to preserve and increase the value of your money, won't it be eaten up by inflation in the end? Life is not enjoyment, so in the end, isn't your life just living?

Of course, to enjoy life and change life from living to living is not an overdraft, but to change the way of thinking and values and enjoy life within one's own ability. If you buy a basket of cheap apples, they taste bad in the end, and you have to throw away a lot of bad ones, why not buy some ones with better appearance and taste? In fact, the cost is similar. It may not be so difficult to live to live, but it is rare to change people's poverty.
