As the Spring Festival is approaching every year, a unique "homecoming tide" is coming as scheduled. At this time, many people who have worked hard outside the home can't wait to return to their hometowns to visit their relatives and gather happily after a whole year's hard work. However, in this warm festival atmosphere, there are also some different phenomena, and some superficial but ordinary "fake rich" have gradually become the focus of attention.
First of all, there is the group of people who "have cars and don't open their doors". When they passed, luxury cars roared and famous cars parked in front of their homes, and they seemed to look like successful people. However, on closer inspection, these vehicles rarely move, and they are like decorations on weekdays. These "fake rich" people are actually just buying cars through loans, and driving back to their hometowns during the Chinese New Year to show off the results of their hard work outside.
In the process, they carefully maintain the vehicle, and strive to show a "successful" image in front of the villagers. Secondly, we met people who "asked people to smoke and drink all high imitations". This group of people usually like to carry a pack of high-imitation cigarettes with them, whether they get along with strangers or acquaintances, they will generously hand over one or two high-imitation cigarettes.
At the party, they also find like-minded people who boast about their "family possessions" while sipping imitation wine. However, in reality, they don't care about food, clothing, housing and transportation in their daily lives, just to show a "nouveau riche" appearance in front of strangers.
The other group of "fake rich" are those who "have a house in the city and live on their parents". In order to own a property of their own in the city, they put all their savings into buying a house and become so-called "house slaves".
This excessive pursuit of property not only burdens them with a heavy mortgage burden, but also often requires them to turn to their parents, relatives and friends for help. Such a way of life not only poses a serious burden on the personal economic situation, but also brings trouble to the family relationship, forming a new type of "gnawing the old" phenomenon.
In the end, we saw the group of people who wore fake name tags to show off their wealth. These "fake rich people" will wear clothes that are famous brands from head to toe during the Chinese New Year, and each one has a huge logo, just to show others their "wealth".
During the Spring Festival, they become the center of attention in the streets and alleys, for fear that others will not see their vanity. However, after the Spring Festival, they will return to their ordinary lives, or there are some people who have to package themselves in fake brands whenever they want, just to satisfy their ridiculous vanity.
Behind these events, there is a phenomenon that is prevalent in today's society. Some people have a deviation in the concept of consumption, paying more attention to the external material appearance, and ignoring the spiritual enrichment. They pursue consumption patterns that exceed their own economic capabilities, and care more about external material satisfaction. The emergence of this phenomenon not only brings a serious burden to the economic situation of individuals, but also causes a series of problems at the social level.
This kind of comparison and flashy behavior may lead to atypical hatred of the rich in society, exacerbate the unhealthy competitive mentality, and make people indulge in material pursuits and ignore spiritual needs. For the sake of short-term vanity, people turn themselves into "slaves" of money, overspending, forming a trend of unsustainable development in society.
When people excessively pursue a high standard of material life beyond their own capabilities, it will not only limit the development of individuals in terms of education, health and hobbies, but also lead to tension and conflict in family relationships. In this case, some people have to rely on their parents and relatives, forming a new type of gnawing on the elderly, which further exacerbates social instability.
Therefore, we urgently need to shape a healthy and reasonable consumption concept. Spending according to one's actual ability and avoiding excessive consumption and debt is a necessary way to maintain one's economic health. At the same time, society also needs to strengthen education on the correct outlook on consumption and money, and cultivate healthy social values.
Only when people are truly aware of the negative impact of excessive consumption can they understand the importance of rational consumption from the bottom of their hearts and achieve a healthy and balanced social development. While people pursue material satisfaction, they should pay more attention to the enrichment of the inner spiritual world, so that the soul can be satisfied and achieve all-round human progress.
